Victoria was amazing. All the boys seemed to have a great time with her while we were gone. She went above and beyond to make us comfortable leaving. She also left a few extra touches around the house that showed just how well she cared for our home as well.

Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.

We were apprehensive leaving Joey with someone we didn’t know due to some special needs but felt at ease when connecting with Dawn during our meet and greet. Dawn was great and Joey was well cared for. She provided us with updates and we didn’t worry about him one bit. We’ll definitely ask Dawn to care for Joey again!! Thank you Dawn!!

Jessica was great! We were out of town 4 nights, and then our flight got delayed and she was able to adjust her schedule to stay a 5th night to take care of our dog. She sent photos and updates at least twice a day and I felt better knowing I had someone here at our house to care for our dog (instead of boarding him). Our dog has some anxiety and allergy issues and she took care of all his meds and gave him lots of love and cuddles. She also washed all the bedding, towels and took the trash out (which she didn't need to do but did it anyhow). Highly recommend! Thanks again, Jessica.

We would highly recommend Jess to anyone who needs a pet sitter. She was easy to communicate with. She sent us daily updates and pictures like we requested. She was respectful of our home and kept it nice and tidy. We didn't have any worries leaving town with her watching our house and dog. We met her prior to hiring her which put our minds at ease. She bonded with our dog and I would say my dog misses having her here. We will definitely hire her again the next time we leave town.

Highly recommend!! Andrea has stayed are our house two times for long weekends and watched our 14 year old Pitbull who can't go to dog parks or really be around other dogs. She gave him his medication which is about 8 pills and tried different things to get him to eat. She stayed in constant contact with me and left our house spotless. We already scheduled her for another weekend in August.

It was clear our dog really liked Kelli and she was always great with communication. We’ll be sure to book her again!!

This was my first time with Molly watching the boys. She was awesome! She sent so many pictures and videos which was great, I could tell that they were comfortable with her. She even let them sleep with her and hog the bed! I had several issues with my flights and she was more than willing to be on standby if I didn’t make it home on time. I’ll definitely use Molly again in the future 🌟

About: I'm excited to be there for your pet in whatever way you need. I have been pet and house sitting for years and will watch your animals with care 💕 I work downtown from 8:30 to 5 but I have flexibility when I take my lunch break. On Fridays, I have the option to work remote. I can beat assist with pet care before or after work and on weekends. I am able to do walks and check inside around the lunch hour. I can't offer to host pets at my home, but I'm happy to follow whatever guidelines clients set. I want to make sure your pets are comfortable and well cared for.

Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.

Christina was able to come through in a pinch for me and Cora! She was so understanding and accommodating. She made sure to communicate about how she was doing and was extra sensitive to Cora’s extra needs, making sure to get her medication on time! I would definitely have her come stay with Cora again.

About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs since I could walk, including several Boston terriers, a sweet black lab, and a very lazy Bassett hound. I am experienced in senior care and medication administration as well. I now live with my two cats, Olive and Saltine. They are my literal children and I love them to death. I’m working full-time, but I’m available weekday mornings and evenings as well as full-time on weekends. Let me know what you need and I can try to make it happen! I strive to treat your pets home as if they’re my own. Every pet has their own unique needs. I’m attentive to detail and will follow your instructions to the letter.

Pete did an excellent job with our fur babies while we were away! Even our bashful cat Petunia succumbed to his charms. Pete sent us photos multiple times while we were gone. It was reassuring to see our fur-kids doing well. The house was well maintained upon our return. We will be reaching out again to book with Pete.

About: I live and work downtown (full-time remote). I can host your pet overnight in my home; stay overnight in your home if needed. Pop-in visits to provide breaks, walks, feeding. I can also provide day care services if needed. I do not have a crate but bringing your own crate is optional but not required. House broken/trained is preferred. I prefer to host 1 dog at a time. 2 dogs from the same household would be possible but prefer not to mix dogs from multiple households. ***House-sitting notice - I do have a 9mos old 11lb Havanese that would accompany me for overnight house-sitting assignments*** I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feeding as needed or on a set schedule that works best for your pet's current routine Condo here and unfortunately do not have a yard but there are lots of green spaces near my condo at 10th and Mulberry. Space is over 1200 sq ft so plenty of room for your pet. I do have a small (Havanese) 8mos old puppy that loves attention but is very smart and picks up on queues from other dogs. Shy and timid upon introduction and will play only if the other dog engages. Loves people and attention.

About: I have been around dogs since I was a little kid! My family has always had a big dog little dog combo, and our family pets have had a wide range of personalities. I am comfortable working with all dogs, from excited Chihuahuas to nervous foster dogs to senior Golden Retrievers. I have also cared for a variety of lovely American breeds, such as Boxers, Pitties, and Bulldogs. I look forward to working with you and meeting your best friend! I'm currently working part-time doing sewing alterations from home! My schedule is incredibly flexible, with only a handful of appointments scattered throughout the day. Checking in on your pet will be my number one priority. If there is more specialized attention needed throughout the day, I can also shift my part-time hours to another day. I do not offer boarding services in my home at this time, but when I am taking care of your best friend at your home, safety is my number one priority. If we have a walk planned, I make sure that the weather is in the safe temperature range before we leave, and I always carry an emergency water bottle/bowl with me. We will also always stay within a 15-minute walk to your home/my vehicle in case of emergency! While letting pets out into a fenced-in yard, they will be supervised the entire time and let back in the home as soon as they indicate they would like back inside. When it comes to pet sitting for longer stays, the needs of you and your pet change, so the services I offer shift accordingly. While pet sitting, every time I come to your home, I will do a safety walk of the home to make sure no accidents have occurred, and nothing that isn't meant to be played with has made it to the floor. I have a lot of experience with sock monsters, so I understand the need to keep a home tidy when caring for a dog. I will do a walk of the yard every day to make sure nothing that could harm your pet is present and that no new holes or damage to the fencing has occurred. When I am leaving your home for the night, or periods through the day, I triple check that all of the doors and windows are locked so you won't have to worry about any harm coming to your best friend or your home. If you have plants that need to be cared for throughout your home, I am also more than happy to provide care to them as well!

Austyn has so far proven to be reliable on the first visit of house sitting! He stayed with my sweet girl the entire weekend I had to be away at work! He was kind and respectful to my home! He agreed to be my go to sitter and so I’ll leave more reviews as things progress. High-key, I feel that he’s a great fit for me and my doggo and really glad he will be our reoccurring sitter when he’s available! Im a poor college age kid too, but when I able to afford tipping him more, I feel he’s worth it! I feel at peace with him and didn’t feel the need to check in multiple times a day like with other sitters. He holds to his word and commitment to care for your doggo! :)

We've trusted Megan to watch all of our pets over the years, between the geriatric seniors a few years ago which required lots of patience and paper towels, and our big enthusiastic doofus we have now. She's taken our dog on runs to work off some energy, she's spent hours on the couch with him because he's clingy, and sent us thoughtful photos to keep us updated. I can't say enough good things about her and would recommend her to anyone :)

I originally bonded with Nathaniel over our shared love of pets. We both have black cats and it became clear very quickly that he took extremely good care of his Olivia. Everyday, he feed her a combination of healthy raw meat recommended by his vet. Since I've known him, not only has he taken great care of my cats when I needed him to, he and his wife have also been known to volunteer at their local pet shelters. I would definitely recommend Nathaniel to anyone who needed someone responsible, detail-oriented, and caring to take care of their pets.

Austyn has so far proven to be reliable on the first visit of house sitting! He stayed with my sweet girl the entire weekend I had to be away at work! He was kind and respectful to my home! He agreed to be my go to sitter and so I’ll leave more reviews as things progress. High-key, I feel that he’s a great fit for me and my doggo and really glad he will be our reoccurring sitter when he’s available! Im a poor college age kid too, but when I able to afford tipping him more, I feel he’s worth it! I feel at peace with him and didn’t feel the need to check in multiple times a day like with other sitters. He holds to his word and commitment to care for your doggo! :)
