“Trena was able to take care of our pup over the Thanksgiving holiday and we're so grateful! She sent us photos and kept us updated on how he was doing. Thank you for your help, Trena!”


“Tammy was very dedicated to our dog Emerald. She sent us tons of pictures and videos. Tammy took her for a walk at 7:00 AM every day, because it gets too hot for dog paws on cement later during the day. Tammy even stripped her bed, washed & dried the sheets, and remade it. She took out the garbage bins and brought in packages. Emerald seemed very happy with Tammy. I highly recommend Tammy & would use her again.”


“Delaney was so wonderful with our dogs! We had never left them for a full week, so I was nervous about this. She was very communicative and gave plenty of updates. I could tell our dogs were comfortable and happy through the pictures and videos she would send. She stayed in our apartment and also left it spotless. I would highly recommend booking Delaney next time you need a dog sitter!!!”


“Rylee took great care of our pups on a last minute trip. She was flexible with our timing and was great at communicating with us. We look forward to her watching our pups again.”


“Abby made sure my pets were comfy and kept me updated while we were gone for the weekend. Her communication and care gave me so much peace of mind as we left our anxious dog behind for a trip!”



About: I've grown up with dogs for my entire life. I have 2 little toy Aussies. They have been so good for me! I love the companionship and they motivates me to get up and get moving. I would love to take your dog for walks and just love on them... although I might grow attached. I promise to give them back though. I do work full time but am more than happy to let your dogs out at lunch or take them for walks. I am also available in the evenings and weekends for any service. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your best friend. I promise to spoil them with love and attention. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Cheers!

“Ana did an amazing job watching our two dogs while we were out of the country! She checked in with us often and sent lots of update photos which we loved. She also spent some extra time with our more anxious dog during the 4th of July fireworks which went above and beyond, and we are so so appreciative!!”


“Sarah was great with Shiloh. She is an amazing person who loves animals. Sarah sent pictures everyday so we could see him play and have fun. I would recommend Sarah highly as she cares for your pet , ad if it were her own pet. Sarah is Terrific. Thank you so much for all you did for Shiloh, he was well taken care of and loved by all. Also thank you Bodhi for playing with Shiloh . You all are amazing”


“Paige is so great with our pup and we love the photo updates we get while we’re away! Piper always seems super happy when she’s around Paige and that gives us a great sense of comfort while we’re away.”

About: I have been raised with dogs, cats and horses since a young age. I have a 7 year old border collie who has been trained for agility and a 5 year old lab who is trained to hunt. They are disciplined dogs but also very spoiled! I currently work from home with flexible hours. When I am not traveling I am available to take care of your animal throughout the day or overnight. I have a fenced yard with two dogs who will show your animal the ropes. We go on walks every morning, lunch time and evening. Ideally we will be able to get a hike or swim in the afternoon, but if not we play ball and get plenty of time off leash throughout the day. Activities can change based on your animal’s needs. I have two very active dogs and we do everything we can to stimulate them.

“Caitlin was wonderful! She kept me up to date on how my cat Emma was doing and sent some pics and videos. She is a delight to get to know, and I hope that next time Emma needs a sitter that she will be available. Thanks, Caitlin!!”


About: I grew up caring, loving and cuddling with a Golden Retriever and a Dachsund, along with horses, cats and bunnies on our farm. I will go on long walks, play and cuddle with your dog. I had a pit bull and she loved to go to the ENO to hike and swim. If your dog loves that too, I’ll be happy to take them. I have experience with giving medications, caring for ones who have been injured and handling dogs with aggression issues. I love animals so you can have confidence that I will treat your pets with respect and love. I am available 7 days a week. If I am house sitting for you I will also water plants, pick up packages/mail, and any other small tasks you may need. I am excited to meet your dog and find out what their favorite toy, treat, and place to walk will be! Pet care is an intentional and fulfilling part of my daily routine. Even with a full-time schedule, I plan my day around the needs of the pets in my care—whether that means early morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening play sessions. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and quality time with each pet to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Because I only accept a manageable number of bookings at a time, I’m able to give each pet my full attention without overcommitting. You can count on me to stick to their routines and keep you updated throughout the day. When I care for pets in their own home, I aim to keep everything consistent and stress-free. I stick to your pet’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule, and provide updates with photos so you always know how they’re doing. I also respect your space and leave your home just as I found it—clean, secure, and well cared for.

“Jenna is the Mary Poppins of petsitters! She was so fabulous and kind to my three floofs. I have a cat with separation anxiety and two energetic bunnies. She was so wonderful and took amazing care of them all, gave them plenty of exercise, and individual attention. The pets loved her and were so happy! She sent me tons of pictures every day. As an anxious floof mom, this helped me enjoy my vacation stress free. She also left my house sparkling clean and even washed my rugs and vacuumed all the pet hair off my couch -- she's a superhero! Hari, Cloud, and Sephiroth give her 10/10 stars.”
