“Erin did a great job, even picking up last minute with our 4 fur babies during Derby 🐎 week. Both dogs and cats were well taken care of, she even brought packages in for us. We received multiple daily photos along with the written updates and felt every thing was under control. Highly recommend, and hope to be able to use Erin again when the need arises.”
“The best! I feel so blessed to have found Tara S. She’s been amazing and my dogs definitely enjoy her. She has brought my husband and I comfort and peace knowing that our dogs will be taken care of in our home.”
“Ciara was quick to respond and was able to work with my schedule for a meet up. The dogs loved her immediately ! She was attentive, kind, and I could tell from the beginning she was comfortable with my pack. Thanks Ciara!”
“Michael was an excellent dog sitter. He was reliable and professional. He utilized the features of the app to keep us updated on our dog daily including photos. I would definitely recommend his services to others and look forward to using him again in the future.”
“Kumiko does a great job taking care of our kitties when we are gone. She always sends lots of photos. We have multiple cats with different needs and she takes care of each kitty with their needs in mind. She takes time to give them love and attention. She even is considerate enough to leave food out for the stray kitty that comes around. I highly recommend her for pet sitting and will 100% use her again!”
“Maggie is a professional and I have absolutely no worries when I am out of town and she is checking in on my pets. Highly recommended her if you’re in need of someone to check on your pets while you’re away! Thanks Maggie!”
“Betsy was super great! I needed her last minute and she was very accommodating. She cleaned the litter boxes daily, fed the kitties and sent me photos and updates every time she checked in. I felt very comfortable with having her in my home and taking care of my fur babies!! I will definitely be rebooking her again. Thank you Betsy :)”
About: I grew up on a farm and spent my summers living and caring for all types of animals from horses to chickens. I am working from home and looking to spend my lunch hour with animals and get some exercise walking neighborhood dogs! Ideally I would like to pet sit or dog walk during my lunch hour Monday - Friday but I am flexible as far as occasional weekend visits and different times of day. I care for every animal as my own and will spend time getting to know their individual personality. And my motto is to always leave someone’s home the same as or better than it was when I found it.
“Jessica has been wonderful! She has had many drop in visits with my puppy and is always on time/communicative. She does a great job with my puppy and is always professional. Highly reccomend.”
About: Hi! I have one really sweet golden retriever, she is almost three! We love too take long walks and find different parks too play! I would love to get the opportunity to meet your fur baby/babies! Feel free to reach out with any questions 😊 I’m working part time currently! So I have tons of free time to provide the best pet care! I’m free a lot of weekends and every morning and afternoon throughout the week! I take safety and trust in the clients home as my number one! I want nothing more than to get too know and take care of your fur babies in the safest and happiest way possible!
“Athena was awesome- a total professional! Lots of pics of our pup were sent while we were away, and she followed our instructions to a T. she even brought in some packages that arrived while we were away! Thanks Athena- we will definitely be reaching out for your services again!”
About: My wife and I have been married over 20 years and 17 of those have been with multiple dogs in our house. We are dog-less at the moment, but would love to give your dog the love we have all of ours for so many years. I work full time from home and my wife is a professor, so we have a lot of time at home. Our son is 2, and absolutely adores dogs Whatever the owner needs us to do for the dog, we are happy to. Snuggles, walks, potty and regular feeding schedule is always on the docket
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to understand their unique personality, routines, and needs. I have had many animals of my own my whole life along with pet sitting for many family members, friends, and neighbors. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked in a vet office for over a year now and with my hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I’m trained to handle everything from shy rescues to high-energy pups. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly life — not just a job, but a commitment I truly enjoy. I build my schedule around my clients’ pets to ensure consistency, comfort, and reliability. Caring for pets in their own home keeps their environment consistent and stress-free. I follow your pet’s regular schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, and medication. I stick to your instructions for house rules, routines, and preferences. I tidy up after myself (and your pet), water plants, bring in mail, and keep your home secure. I provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: I have experience with dogs of all kinds. One thing that separates myself from other dog walkers is that I treat each pet how I would treat my own and I treat my own like my kids. My goal is to provide the same care for your dogs as I expect for mine. Pet care is a major part of my daily and weekly routine since I own a dog walking/sitting business. I am almost always available to meet my clients needs for their furry companions. The only times when I am not available is when I am coaching basketball. Unfortunately, I do not care for pets at my home. However, when caring for pets in your home I will keep them on the exact routine as they are accustomed to to make them as comfortable as possible.
About: I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and am very good with communication. I will keep you in the loop and send photos daily! I only work 6 hour days during the week and am available from 8-11 for walking or pet care. My weekends are pretty open and I am very flexible. I like to love on the pets that I care for and spend as much time with them as possible. I love when they sleep in the bed with me but will of course cater to your pets individualized needs and routine!
“We appreciate you so much! Emily genuinely cares about our dog’s welfare and health and will go out of her way to help and make him more comfortable. He is not the easiest pet, but despite his sometimes confusing behavior, Emily goes above and beyond to provide the highest level of care.”
“Valerie was absolutely phenomenal. She helped out when I was in a last minute pitch, and couldn’t have been nicer and easier to communicate with even with my last minute request and with delayed responses on my end due to traveling. She also took the sweetest pictures of my two pups and took wonderful notes about what they did while she was with them. Couldn’t be happier, thank you Valerie! I would recommend this sitter to anyone :)”
