“Teresa came for the meet and greet and spent time getting to know all three of our babies. We worked out all the details. She kept us updated with photos and notes on how they were doing. I could tell they were very happy. We will be using Teresa again.”
“Karen did a fantastic job watching our home and Mr. Barkley while we were away. She was sweet enough to meet with us before the watch time so we could go over a few things and answer any questions we had. When we were away, she kept us informed and sent daily photos (which were SO appreciated). She left everything as it was left in our home (amazing since I'm a bit type-a) and Mr. Barkley was happy and relaxed. Would definitely recommend and ask to sit again=)”
“Here’s a great review you can use for your dog sitter: Review: [Dog sitter’s name] was absolutely amazing! Super reliable, very communicative, and gave my dog lots of love and attention. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“In general we’re very happy with Betty. However there was an occasion in which both dogs were out of our fenced yard and in the neighbors yard. Betty didn’t realize this and our neighbor brought the dogs home. Only happened once and not a big deal, but we were concerned. I will definitely use Betty again as she cares for the dogs well, they like her, and we trust that Betty will be more careful with the gates out of the yard.”
“We’re so glad we found Meredith to help us take care of our 4-month-old puppy and senior cat. They’re both a handful but Meredith is so loving and professional with them. My fur babies can’t wait to see her again!”
“Emery did an amazing job looking after my 2 dogs and my house when I had to take a last-minute work trip. They each have very different needs/temperaments but Emery did a wonderful job attending to them both. She even left them custom-made REPORT CARDS that are now pinned to my fridge. 10/10, highly recommend, will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Kim is wonderful! It's the first time I have left my pets with a hired in house pet sitter in a long time but felt very at ease with Kim. My dog is 15 years old and has good days and bad days so I wasn't sure how she would handle a pet sitter but she was well taken care of. I was sent many pics over the 5 days of my pets being comfortable and loved on. Will be hiring again for sure!”
“Angela was Great! Kids were given lots of attention and all care directions followed. Very respectful of our home and treated the kids as if they were her own. Easy to contact and keep updated on everything going on while away. Above and beyond care!! Thanks Angela!”
“Kymber was wonderful! We hadn't left our dogs with anyone other than family in about a year, and one of our dogs was a recent tripawd. We were very anxious leaving them, but Kymber took such great care of them and was very communicative! She sent pictures and gave regular updates. Our house was also clean when we got home! Thanks Kymber!!”
“Hannah took great care of my pups. She corresponded each day, and shared photo updates. Two of my pups are very very old, and require extra care. She did a great job with them. I also came home to a totally clean house.”
“Cayli was great , my cats were cared while I was away few days”
“Absolutely wonderful with pups and takes excellence care of them and your house! Would absolutely book again!”
About: With 6 years of experience caring for pets, I offer loving, responsible, and attentive care — always treating each animal with the affection and respect they deserve. I currently work as a house cleaner during the week, so I am available to care for your pets from Thursday at 5:30 PM until Monday at 8:00 AM. During this time, I can fully dedicate myself to providing your pets with loving, responsible, and attentive care — whether it’s for overnight stays, weekend sitting, or extended care. In-Home Pet Care: I care for your furry loved ones in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. By staying in their familiar environment, your pet can maintain their regular routine — which helps reduce stress and keeps them happy, calm, and comfortable while you’re away.

“Heather did a great job with our home and with our oets. Definitely will use her again.”
About: Hello! I am a dedicated, trustworthy dog lover with a deep passion for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s a high-energy Malinois who needs structured exercise, a senior dog who needs a little extra TLC, or a shy rescue pup building confidence, I adjust my approach to fit each dog’s unique needs. I believe in calm, confident leadership, clear communication, and lots of love — just like I treat my own dogs. What I Offer: • Daily dog walks (structured or casual) • Drop-in visits (mealtime, potty breaks, meds, play) • In-home dog sitting with a focus on routine and comfort • Puppy care & basic obedience reinforcement • Updates with photos and notes so you feel connected I’m comfortable with strong breeds, leash reactivity, and special needs dogs. Safety, reliability, and respect are my top priorities — both for your dog and your home. Let’s set up a meet & greet and see if we’re a good match. I can’t wait to meet your pup! Punctual, trustworthy, and detail-oriented. I stick to your dog’s schedule to reduce stress and keep things consistent. Safety, communication, and respect are my top priorities. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I follow clear routines, respect your home, and provide on-time, reliable care you can count on every visit
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid. Growing up w dogs at a young age, I can provide dog walking, drops ins, & over night stays too. I am no stranger to accident clean ups either. While studying for my real estate license to become a realtor, I'm looking to make some side hustle and figured why not love on some furry friends? While I have 2 dogs of my own, I have plenty of experience with caring for dogs of all age ranges and breeds. I can provide dog walking, drop ins and overnight stays
“Sarah was fantastic with our 2 pups while we were out of town. She sent pictures and videos, and even washed the sheets and towels before she left!”
“Jay was amazing! She treated my dogs like her own and was so respectful of the house, barely even noticed she was here! I will use her again and highly recommend!!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and personalized care I give each pet. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, because to me, they are! I have experience with everything from energetic puppies who need extra training and playtime to senior dogs who require a little extra patience, gentleness, and medication management. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique needs, routine, and personality to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, walks, or special care, I go the extra mile to make tails wag! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I currently have full availability and do not have other work commitments. This allows me to be highly flexible and fully dedicated to meeting the needs of the pets I care for. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening feedings, I’m able to adapt to any schedule to ensure consistent, attentive, and loving care. I live in an apartment with my own two dogs that are super friendly and eager to play with other dogs. We have two dog play parks to get all the zoomies. I also am happy to dogs to parks or walks around your neighborhood or simply just into the backyard. Whatever your preference I can provide!
