Caitlin is amazing! She took extra great care of our cat while we were away for 10 days and made her feel like we never left, by giving her lots and lots of love. We’ll definitely work with Caitlin again in the future!

About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.

Lynda is very personable and knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior, and brings a real sensitivity to each dog she works with. My sometimes nervous dog Clover was immediately comfortable with her. I’m grateful to have someone so skilled and thoughtful care for my dog when I can’t be there!

About: I've had dogs most of my adult life. I had 6 at one time and now have 2 Chihuahuas who I adore. I love all pets and want to be your pups best friend. I am retired so I have a lot of free time. I can walk or visit your pups regularly. My schedule is very flexible. I can help out at any time. I have a fenced yard and it is secure. My pups can't get out and they get along with all dogs. My pups are treated like the king and queen they are.

About: *Pros with booking my service*: ~I am a full time pet sitter! ~Experience! (Ive been doing this for 6 years) ~Professionalism (I was a lawyer before leaving law to focus on part-time travel and full time pet sitting 😉) ~Trust (The majority of my clients are repeat clients) Hospitality and care go hand in hand with my pet-sitting service. For a house sit, expect your home to nicer than when you left it. Your fur babies will be relaxed and happy to see you when you return having been lovingly cared for in your absence. I will strive to uphold whichever boundaries you h have set up for your pup and work to reinforce training. Have your pup stay with a familiar face while you're away! In addition to personal experience with animals over the years, I have professional experience volunteering at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. One of the largest animal rehabilitation clinics in the world. I hope I can be someone you wholeheartedly trust with the care of your beloved furry one. I currently work full time as a pet sitter in addition to small freelance work so my schedule is flexible. On weekdays I will be gone for short periods of time but can be back every couple hours. I always make sure to get my pups set up when I leave the house. I'm a very hands on pet sitter. I understand the needs of animals and their lil personalities intuitively and I like to check in to make sure they are safe and happy.

Mindy is always great with Scout! I appreciate how communicative she is when she enters the home. She sends lots of pictures of Scout playing, being a goofball, and overall enjoying her company! I tell Scout “Aunty Mindy” is coming over and he quickly runs to the door to look for her.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, punctual, and caring dog walker who treats every pup like family. I understand that your dog isn’t “just a pet” — they’re your heart. Whether your dog loves long sniff-filled strolls or structured, energetic walks, I tailor each visit to their needs. Safety is my top priority, and I always pay close attention to behavior, surroundings, and comfort levels. You’ll receive updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. Let’s get those tails wagging! I'm retired and have plenty of time for your fur baby! I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer energy-burning walk, I show up on time and ready to go. Your home will always be respected as if it were my own — clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I’m mindful of doors, gates, alarms, and routines, and I double-check everything before leaving to ensure your home and pet are safe. Your dog will be treated with patience, kindness, and attentiveness. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and comfort so they feel secure and understood. Whether your pup needs calm reassurance, structured guidance, or playful engagement, I adjust to what makes them happiest.

Deanna is wonderful. I was nervous to leave my two cats, but as soon as I met Deanna my worry was gone. She's clearly done this before and cares about our animals. We received pictures and videos everyday and the cats seemed quite happy when we got back. Deanna took really good care of my babies and I am grateful for that. Also our apartment has a very difficult door/entrance and she was very patient and willing to figure it out. Deanna rules.

Michelle got our older dog to quickly warm up to her and gave our 3 month old puppy extra play time. She left the house and crates in much better shape than we expected with a puppy still being crate trained. Would definitely recommend and use again!

About: After a tragically pet-free childhood, I've spent the last 20 years seeking out any opportunity to care for animals—from free dog walking for friends and cat-sitting for vacationing pals to hiking with hounds and being a designated vet chauffeur. I love exploring the outdoors with a dog, chucking sticks across empty fields, and praising them for every "good stretch"! I do everything I can to make pet parents feel comfortable and assured when they leave their furry friends in my care—including plenty of photos and updates! I work from home as a writer/editor and a live-edge woodworker, so my schedule is entirely flexible and under my control. I have a fenced-in backyard with ample shade where I often write and work, so outside time is always available for the animals I care for. I love walking the city and wandering through green spaces, especially Audubon Park and City Park, and having a puppy pal to accompany me makes it even more enjoyable. My interior home space is approximately 1,800 square feet, with multiple couches and rooms and sunspots for dogs and/or cats to relax and lounge. The fenced-in backyard is well-secured with a 6-foot fence for stress-free bathroom breaks, and my active lifestyle takes me on at least 2 longer walks each day, typically in the morning and evening. At a client's home, I pride myself on being highly adaptable to new routines and expectations, and my career as an editor makes me very attentive to details, e.g., medication needs, feeding times, sleep schedules, walk durations, etc. Whether you need someone to pop in and play with your pooch for an hour, or leave your animal at my home for a longer trip, you can rest assured they will be cared for, loved and pampered in a safe and comfortable environment.

Angela cat-sat for us for a long weekend and did a great job with our cat. He's only been with us for about 1.5 months, so his routine can be a little tricky. She accommodated him wonderfully, and he appeared very happy when we returned.

Gerome's natural ability to commune with animals was present during both drop off and pick up of my cat. I returned to find my selective/discerning sweet pea snuggled up with her pet sitter in a relaxed and trusting pose. She did not want to come back with me! I will choose Gerome in the future to care for my love. Gerome was highly communicative during my time away from my cat. She sent me many photo updates, which allowed me to feel at ease during our separation.
