“John was fantastic! Our very shy dog with separation anxiety warmed up to him immediately, and our cat loved him too. He sent regular updates and pictures and took good care of the house. Plus he’s a vet! We felt so comfortable and knew our babies were in good hands!”
“Lee provided an outstanding service and took great care of my 3 furry family members, and our house, while we were in vacation. She stayed as much as needed to take care of them properly, very kind.”
About: I am very intuitive to what animals needs are. I’m patient and pets safety is my top priority! Comforting animals is a blessing that I can’t get enough of! My hours are a bit flexible but I am mainly have a lot of free time on Mondays & Fridays from 2-7. Saturdays and Sundays I am completely available. First off, I always read the directions multiple times. Make sure their food and leashes are easy to find. Then I always check the backyard before letting a dog out. I want to be sure there are no gaps in the fences or any other large wildlife they may want to chase. If in case of emergency, I would love to know what veterinary practice is used and emergency contacts if I’m not able to make direct contact.

“Nia was great! She was responsive and sent a lot of updates and photos. She made our pups feel so comfortable and I could tell they loved her as soon as they met her. We totally trusted her in our home and with our boys. We will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Diana was fantastic and we would 100% book her again. Our two dogs took to her quickly at our initial meeting, which put me at great ease. She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 11 month old puppy and our 14 year old dog. They both have completely different personalities and needs. Diana sent us videos and photos of the dogs, and little updates each day. The house was also well taken care of and looked as if no one had been here. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and knew the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Taryn did a wonderful job taking care of my dog while I was in Asia. I received numerous photos and updates and felt so relieved my girl was taken care of. Thank you, Taryn!!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. My range of experience goes from new born puppies and up. I have been dog sitting for my neighbor and some family friends for about 2 years now. I work 2 overnights a week at my job Sunday night and Tuesday night but would still be able to help out at night before going in and in the morning after I get out. I can make any accommodations for any of your animals needs whether that’s needing to only go out on a leash or following specific training plans.
“Elle took great care of our dog while we were away, sending us pictures and updates daily. She was respectful of our space, and left our apartment spotless. It was great to know our dog was well taken care of and we would highly recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone!”
About: Hello I current aerve in the US Navy for about 5 years now I use to work at a dog daycare/boarding facility for a little over 3 years along with a little obedience training and the basic commands I have also worked along with a few service dogs and been around with the SPCA for a bit to and I try to give back as much as possible I’m in this more for seeing all the great personalities your dogs have and to make your life a little easier as I was always told nobody can ever love you like your dog could ever or be as loyal and caring as your dog will ever be I hope to hear from you soon thank you!
About: I have taken care of many dogs for the past 9 years. From walking, feeding, and playing with my own dogs, friends animals and pets m, I’ve done it all! I am a college student so having various breaks throughout the day allows me to have time to drop in for a walk or quick playdate. I do not have classes Friday-Sunday allowing more availability on the weekends! I do work another part time job but working 3-4 hour shifts allows for perfect timing to help your animals! I will follow all house protocols and focus all of my attention to your pets to ensure safety during my visits! Your animals safety under my watch is my biggest concern.

Eva B.
“Eva has pet sat for my sweet boy (cat), Simon, periodically for over a year. Initially I was nervous because he is a shy boy, but Eva is a true animal whisperer and he took right to her! Each time she stays with him I receive frequent picture updates which gives me peace of mind - not too mention she is a gifted photographer! I feel so much less anxiety going out of town knowing I can always rely on her to watch Simon. She is very friendly and personable and a pleasure to work with- would recommend!”
