“Arabella & Dylan were very attentive to Makkachin. :) They tag teamed her care like pros, Arabella tapping in before Dylan left, and in total were with her for 5.5 hours, never leaving once! They were punctual, attentive to directions, which they followed to the letter, and gave her tons of attention and exercise, full of play, walks, and snuggles. They also fed her and kept her safe. She was happy and worn out in the best way. I would definitely use them again!”

“John is absolutely great. His calming demeanor really helped my nervous pup be comfortable. John stayed at the house with my pup and 4 cats. He gave good updates and followed instructions. He left the house clean and orderly. Thank you John for being so helpful and respectful! Will book again 😀”

“Julie was amazing! She was able to stay in our house over Christmas and new years on very short notice to watch our recently adopted cat. She sent us regular updates to let us know how he was doing, and he did great with her! We were nervous about leaving him because we had a bad experience leaving him in the past, but he loved Julie and did amazing. We returned to a clean house and a happy cat. Would definitely recommend Julie for any pet sitting you need!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for over 10 years, and I absolutely love it! I have helped out with neighbors and friends' pets and my own dog so I have lots of doggy care experience under my belt! Fresh into post-grad life, I'm back with my family in my hometown and looking forward to playing and caring for some pups in my free time! I will be keeping my schedule updated frequently for available times. I am an attentive, caring dog sitter and I will ensure that your pet is safe in its environment and will be getting lots of love.
“Ainsley was amazing! She took great care of our cat while we were out of town, sent us pictures, and even washed our sheets and vacuumed before we returned. It is so great not having to worry about Ollie while we are out of town. Would definitely recommend Ainsley for any pet sitting you need, she is great!”

“I can’t say enough positive things about Ariane! Her communication and photos of my fur baby were excellent! I didn’t worry about a thing, I knew Maisy was in excellent hands! Ariane is an amazing sitter!”

“Aliya is great with my pup! He’s always excited to see her and when I get home he is happy and calm. She takes him out for walks and runs him. He is always fed appropriately. She is very tidy in the house and respectful of my space. I trust her being alone in my home overnight and I am so grateful she is able to help me take care of my sweet pup.”

“Luke did a great job! He house sat with our dog over the weekend. Left our house super clean - did a through run down of daily activities when we return. Our dog was sad to see him leave. He arrived early which was a bonus bc we needed a minute to go over specifics before we left. Great job highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

About: I've taken care of and owned dogs since a small child. I love canines and would LOVE to care for your furry friends this year. I'm available every day of the week anytime during the day to care at my home kennel or come to your home and assist with your dogs. I have a completed basement just to house your canines and a small fenced in yard. Your dog will receive excellent care and plenty of time will be spent with your dog.
“Charles was absolutely wonderful with Owen and Seamus. He was communicative the entire time, sent great pictures, and made everything feel easy and under control. Both of my pets clearly felt comfortable with him, and I appreciated how helpful and attentive he was throughout the stay. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, genuinely caring sitter.”

“Heather was an excellent sitter for my three cats — Prince Mittens, Sunny Sunshine, and Midnight Moon. Her calm, gentle demeanor made a big difference for Sunny and Midnight, who can be shy, and she was patient, letting them warm up at their own pace. She communicated clearly, sent updates and photos, and even made time for a live video call so I could see and talk to my fur babies. She also did a great job house-sitting, leaving everything clean and in perfect shape. I would absolutely book Heather again without hesitation — she’s calm, reliable, and truly cares for your pets, and I highly recommend her to anyone with shy or sensitive cats.”

“Cody took extreme care of my 13 year old pup by house sitting for an extended weekend. Murphy felt right at home and was given all the love and care he needed. Cody administered Murphy’s meds properly and gave daily reports on how Murphy was doing. Will definitely use again!”

“Pamela is absolutely amazing! I loved that she kept us updated about the dogs and sent pictures. It alleviates my anxieties of being out of town. She was very kind to our dogs and went above and beyond. 100% recommend!”


About: Throughout my life, me and my family have constantly had dogs and cats in and out of the house, ranging from small puppies/kittens to largest dogs. I’ve rescued so many animals with my mother and it has become a norm to be around multiple at a time.I love being with animals and enjoy spending time with all types. I’m a part time employee so weekdays I’m free from 11:30 to around 3 but on Fridays and Saturday I’m free all day. Sundays after 4pm I can feed, play, or walk any animal and can adjust to all personalities. I can ensure that whatever instructions you give me I will do my best to make them happen and make sure you animals is well taken care of.
“Lauren was the BEST dog sitter we could ask for. She took care of our two dogs like they were hee own. She cleaned up before she left too! She definitely went above and beyond and anyone would be lucky to have her with their pups.”

About: I've been a devoted dog lover and caregiver since I was 14, accumulating over a decade of hands-on experience with our furry friends. From energetic daily walks to cozy overnight boarding, I've done it all. Whether it's a quick potty break, a long adventure-filled walk, or extended stays, I have the experience to ensure your pup receives the best care possible. My years of practice have taught me to understand and respond to each dog's unique needs, making every pet-sitting experience positive and tailored to your furry family member. I'm currently working remotely with flexible hours and have availability throughout the day all seven days. Since I take care of my own dog, I spend at least two hours outside a day and pet care is incorporated throughout my routine. My approach to pet care is tailored to each dog's unique needs, whether I'm caring for them in my home or theirs. I've worked with a wide range of dogs, from anxious and timid to energetic and even aggressive ones that needed special handling. In-home care: I maintain the dog's routine, following your instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise. For anxious dogs, I provide a calm, reassuring presence. For high-energy pups, I ensure plenty of physical and mental stimulation. Home boarding: I create a safe, welcoming space in my home. For dogs needing special accommodations, like those who can't be around others, I provide separate, secure areas. Daily walks and visits: I adapt to each dog's pace and stamina, always attentive to their comfort level and adjusting activities as needed. Regardless of the service, my priority is the dog's well-being and happiness. I'm committed to providing loving, attentive care that respects each dog's individual personality and needs, drawing on my experience with diverse canine temperaments and behaviors.
“Excellent experience! Pups happy and exercised. Everything taken care of as requested. And house clean and organized. Will be requesting Kelsie for all our babysitting needs!”

Grace saved the day last minute, coming to hang with Makkachin while I had really long work days two days in a row. She even stayed until right before she had to leave for a trip! She gave Makkachin companionship, walk, play, and was very reliable and punctual.
