1. Stephanie M.

“I can only begin to describe how grateful I am for Stephanie house sitting with my two schnauzers. Both dogs absolutely loved her and got lots more walks than they get from me. Willow still goes into the bedroom where Stephanie slept and finds comfort snuggling into the pillow. Stephanie was prompt and kept me posted about how things were going. She was respectful of the house, and everything was spotless when I returned home. Willow has a number of health issues and Stephanie dealt with them well - everything from administering meds to watch and judge a little blip in Willow's health. Because she has a car, she was able to get Willow to my vet if it had been necessary. I would recommend Stephanie for anyone needing a house sitter or someone to com into their home to care for pets.”


2. Zara F.

“Zara provided frequent updates and communicated when she would need to leave my dog for short periods during her stay. My dog warmed up to her right away and it made me comfortable to be able to leave her. Thank you Zara!”


3. Sierra J.

“Sierra was amazing! We came to her in a rushed panic when our original dog sitter had backed out 12 hours before we were going away for a week. Sierra was super accommodating and picked up our dog and dropped her back off so when we arrived at home, our dog would be waiting for us. She sent us photos and recaps every day! Our dog Netty had a smile in every photo lol! We will DEFINITELY use her again!!”


4. Amanda K.

“Two very large dogs intent on destroying our home (or so it seemed) and somehow Amanda kept order. We received daily communication and pictures and she cleaned up their destruction. We returned to a surprisingly clean house. Definitely rebooking her.”


5. Yuliia B.

“Yuliia was great! She took wonderful care of the dogs and the house. We got daily updates and pictures of the dogs, which I loved. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again, the next time we need a dog sitter 🤗”


6. Zebulun W.

“Zebulon tended to my dogs perfectly. They took to his kind and gentle soul and were calm and content when I returned home from an overnight trip”


7. Cheryl M.


“Cheryl was great with Lucy! She sent pictures multiple times showing Lucy snoozing at nap time, waiting for a treat and playing with other dogs. Cheryl treated Lucy like she was her own and I knew Lucy was well taken care of. Highly recommend Cheryl to watch your pet.”


8. Shannon S.
About: I have worked with animals at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where we house dogs, cats, and even birds, bunnies, or hamsters. I worked there for two years, and I have grown up with & been around both dogs and cats my whole life. I am currently a full time college student but I have a lot of time after classes in the afternoon and evening, as well as free time on the weekends, to accommodate. I can provide treats, toys, and love to a client’s fur baby. I’m able to take dogs on walks and potty breaks, feed and administer medicine to both dogs and cats, crate a dog if needed, or snuggle up with a client’s fur baby.

About: Hi I am Anna. I have had pets my whole life ranging from birds to dogs and cats to horses and more! Did you know that a 30 minute walk can help your dog stay healthy and keep them from being too rambunctious in your house? If you don’t have time let me help you! I have experience with small and large breeds. My fur babies are a Doberman named Cece and a MinPin named Coco. If walking your dog is something you are interested in me doing I would love to set up a meet and greet that will take 15-20 minutes of your time where I can properly introduce myself to your dog and we can take a short walk together so I can see if they are comfortable with me. Not every dog likes every person and what is most important is that you find a walker that your dog is comfortable with. If we get along great the first time around I can start walking on my own or I might recommend another walk with you before I take your fur baby out on my own just to make sure not to cause any anxiety. As for in home care I am willing and able to take care of any cats or dogs size and age do not matter. I would love to make sure your pet is comfortable with me so a meet and greet is required and if you are extra worried I am willing to do more than one to make you and your pet feel comfortable. Over night stays at my house will be the same. Your dog must be cat friendly if they are staying more than 2 days. I can lock my cats up in the basement but don’t have the heart to do that for more than 2 days. I habe a Doberman and a Miniature Pincher both dogs end up being friendly after a meeting not on our property. We would meet and walk them together first and then have your dog end up on my property. As long as there is no aggression from any animal I am happy to keep any dog at my house. If your pet has any extra needs like medications or specific feeding I have experience with a lot. My chihuahua mix had Cancer and Congestive Heart failure and I administered medication in many forms he also had a special food diet. I have given subdermal fluids and shots to my pets.


10. Anna H.

“Anna did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs. As a vet tech myself I have high expectations and it was easy to see they were loved and cared for while I was away. She updated me daily with photos and took them on multiple walks. To top it off she left my house clean and it was well cared for as well. I will definitely be using Anna again in the future.”


11. Sierra C.

“We were more than thankful to have Sierra come to care for our almost 16 year old dog, Jake, when we left for several days on a family vacation! We met her ahead of time and she seemed to fit right in to the family routines. She was able to work with the challenges of our little old man (dog) and communicated daily while we were gone! Thanks, Sierra!”


12. Kenzie R.

“Kenzie was phenomenal with our 2 pups! They loved every minute with her! We will definitely be using Kenzie again 😊”


13. Yamila C.
“Yamila took care of my Flaco for a long time. She always provided him with a lot of love and played with him. She has a great affection for animals and knows very well how to handle care and walks. She is amazing! Flaco misses her.”


14. Dana J.

“Dana is a great dog/house sitter! She is very responsible and took wonderful care of my dog and our house. Dana is a good communicator and always responded to my texts immediately. I will definitely hire her again.”


15. Alayah R.
About: I’ve been the main caregiver of my fur babies for a great deal of my life. My babies Travis (kitty) and Belle (dog) are my world. I’ve been appointed to care for other family members and friends fur babies throughout the years and was told to try this site out. I look forward to meeting all of your little loves! I am in a journalism fellowship so most of my work is on my computer and I meet with my other fellows once or twice a week sporadically. I'm close to (dog) parks and trails so your babies will be exercised, be able to enjoy a lot of play and whatever weather our state brings us haha!

“Abbey was very helpful watching our two dogs. She was attentive and followed our schedule well. Our dogs warmed up to her immediately. I’d recommend Abbey for anyone looking!”


18. Jose B.
“José is so friendly and professional, and I feel very comfortable leaving my dog in his care. I can tell he really loves animals and is knowledgeable about them. José looked after my dog over the weekend, and he sent me updates and pictures throughout the days so I knew everything was going great. He and my dog are best buddies now! José does a great job. I trust him and I highly recommend!”
