“Jay is the best. My Thunder who is a 75lb American Pitbull loves him and for anyone with this breed that once they trust you there is no such thing as personal space. This breed gets a bad reputation but they are cuddle buddies. Book him now and often you will not regret it!”
“Bree was amazing with Ludo and Bowie! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures while we were away for a long weekend. Left the house spotless and even ran the laundry. The pups obviously enjoyed their time and perked up when I mentioned Bree's name. Thank you! Will absolutely book again.”
“Angelica was so wonderful with Pig! She took such great care of our sassy old pittie and even help us start a new crate sleeping routine thanks Pig deciding she needed to sprain her ankle right before we left. She checked in with us each day and was timely in replying to any questions or texts I sent her way. She was respectful of our home and went above and beyond her responsibilities by bring in any packages/mail that was delivered and cleaned all the lickmats, kongs and toys. We look forward to booking her again.”
“Left our three musketeer pups for the weekend, 2 of which are senior and one that requires a bit of extra assistance. We got the cutest and most detailed updates of our pups, and could tell how well taken care of they were while we were gone. Can’t wait to have Stephanie watch and walk our fur babies again next time!”
“I can't recommend Anya enough! They took amazing care of my fur babies while I was away. From the daily updates and adorable photos to the genuine love and attention they gave, I felt completely at ease knowing my babies were in good hands. Reliable, communicative, and kind—I'll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Cannot say enough! Marli was wonderful. After meeting the first time, we knew Bowie would be in great hands. Regular updates throughout the week and came home to a very happy dog! Would 100% recommend Marli to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much”
About: I was a soldier in my country, I took my dog training course and worked with many breeds. I really like sharing my time with pets and I will take care of them as if they were my own. I work part-time and I want to share my free time with pets and take care of them as if they were my own and pamper them so that they feel good with me until they return home. I have an empty backyard which I could use for the care and much more of your pets with the greatest security and more confidence
“Katrina is a true animal lover who was great with my hyper 45-lb hound mix Sage. She's been on a couple of walks and one overnight housesit. I trust her to keep Sage (an unpredictable bolter when spotting squirrels) safe on the leash and reliabily show up for each walk, even accommodating last minute schedule changes. Katrina took good care of my house while we were gone and even picked up some bone shards that could have been a choking hazard. To top it all off, I got a selfie of Katrina & Sage snuggling in bed. Sage will be looking forward to her new caretaker's return soon.”
“Veronica was absolutely wonderful with my babies! She went above and beyond, from picking up new toys and treats for the girls, to taking them on adventures, and doing everything she could to make them comfortable and happy. I received a ton of pics and videos and it was easy to tell how happy my Lily and Bella were with Veronica's care. I highly recommend Veronica for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I have loved pets, especially dogs, my whole life! It is such a blessing to now be able to focus my career on pet care. I dedicate my mornings and afternoons/evenings to pet care. That way I can start the day and end the day taken care of your sweet dogs. My primary career for decades was being a housekeeper, so my clients have an extraordinary amount of trust in me as I enter their homes while they are not there. I bring the same level of professionalism to my work with pets, making sure that they feel comfortable while you are not there. Also, if you need support Cleaning up dog hair or anything while you are away, just let me know.
“Beth was awesome! Lola was very happy when we returned from a week vacation. She sent lots of pictures of our fur baby while we were away, she kept us updated on Lola's mood and spoiled her rotten just like we do. Lola has some seperation anxiety and Beth just loved her and made her scrambled eggs as Lola wasn't eating. Beth also took care of our home. She checked our mail and left it spotless. I would definitely recommend Beth and we will use her in the future.”
“Leaving your puppies is so hard and after a year of not traveling leaving them for the first time in what seems like forever was really tough. After the first update from Milena though all my fears went away. I could see from the picture how comfortable my pups were with her. She took such amazing care of them and I felt so grateful knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you so much for making my mind at ease knowing my dogs were safe and happy while in you’re care!”
“Natasha was great with our Husky! She always replied in a timely manner and our pup seemed to really like her. The amount of pictures and updates that she shared with us was perfect. Definitely recommend!”
“Jestine was on time, friendly, personable, paid attention, asked great questions, and was generally a joy to work with. Our 70lb. Rottsky has Separation Anxiety and can be a handful, but Jestine was awesome with him. We hired her to house sit the dog, but she also calmed our anxieties about leaving him alone! It's always a bit odd to have a relative stranger in your home, but after just a few minutes chatting, our fears melted away. We look forward to welcoming her back again!”
“Molly was fantastic! She was great with our 8 month old golden mix and our 6 year old cat. She truly went above and beyond! She was so kind and attentive, and great with communication. We would 100% use Molly again for pet-sitting and would recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting or pet check ins! She helped us feel at ease and took great care of our fur babies. Thank you so much Molly! 😊 Appa and Ringo had a great time!”
About: I have never met a dog I didn’t instantly fall in love with. My family dog was truly my best friend and I my favorite memories were taking her on walks and runs. I will make sure your dog is kept safe and is also happy and having fun. My availability for walking and for dog sitting is flexible depending on the day of the week. I would love to spend time with your four legged friends and give them some extra love & care. I hope to meet you and your dog soon! I’m currently self employed so I make my own schedule— I am available most days when needed. Please feel free to reach out to confirm! I do have a small backyard, and my apartment is not too small for a pet. We will never go out without a leash. If you have any details on how you would like me to care for your pet in your own home, please provide them at the time of booking!
About: I've taken care of dogs of every size (small, medium, large) and household cats! Love to teach (or at least try to teach) your pups new tricks when you're away. I work at U of M Hospital, so I will have time to hang out with your animals most days of the week (mornings, evenings, nights) and weekends! Safety is my top priority when it comes to caring for your animals. Depending on the animal, I'll work with the owner to make sure we have a safety plan in place.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since i received my fur baby 13 years ago. I have experience sitting, feeling, walking, playing and treating all pooches like my own. I currently work full-time; however I have remote days (twice a week) and weekends I'm fre. I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pups. I have loads of energy to keep pets occupied and safety is my number one priority. I am attentive and observant. I can crate your pup if needed or bring Gates to ensure your pup is always safe.

She takes him on walks, plays with him and overall makes sure he feels loved -- and we don't have to worry when we're not with him. I should mention that she has been our housekeeper for years and is beloved and trusted by us beyond measure. (If you need your house cleaned while you are away, she's amazing).”

Bailee H.Star Sitter

Ahab C.
“So happy to recommend Ahab as a pet caregiver! I have a dog and a cat. My dog (Oreo) can be pretty energetic and has some anxiety, but Ahab has managed to comfort her both when she's very hyper and very anxious. Oreo loves going on walks or playing chase with him. My cat (Garfield) usually keeps to himself around new people or people he's not super comfortable with. But, he LOVES hanging out with Ahab because he's so calm and sweet with Garfield. I 100% feel safe leaving my pets with him because he's very responsible and calm and 100% recommend him as a pet sitter!”
