“Brooke took wonderful care of our two dogs while we were away. She provided regular photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy and comfortable they were while in her care. She also provided overnight care and was very reliable throughout the stay. We especially appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work with us when our plans changed unexpectedly. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and loved while we were away. We would absolutely trust Brooke with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.”

“Debra was AWESOME!!!! She was so good with our pups, and she followed their schedule, which is important in older dogs! She sent lots of pictures and updates and asked questions when she was unsure of something. She went above and beyond by taking our trash out, washing the sheets and making the bed she slept in, and making sure the house was nice and clean when we got home. I will DEFINITELY be utilizing Debra to watch our pups again!!!”
“I can’t recommend Jelinna enough to watch over your fur babies. We felt at ease the whole time we were away knowing our pets were in good hands. Both of our animals can be a little temperamental in their own ways, and she navigated that wonderfully and became quick friends with our monsters. Communication was wonderful and she left our home in perfect shape. A+++”

“Ahjinae and her partner Jeremy are the best pet sitters I’ve booked. Are dogs were well taken care of for are 4 day trip and we received lots of updates. Will be booking again!”

“David has watched my dogs twice and has done a great job both times. He communicates well and my house was as clean as I left it when I arrived home after being away for several days.”

“Konstantina is the best dog sitter we’ve had by far. My dogs took to her immediately. Even our little, shy Yorkie was happy with her. She is trustworthy and dependable. You couldn’t ask for a better person to trust to take care of your dogs. I will definitely be hiring her again!!!”

About: I love animals. I love reptiles. I will take care of your babies. They're what's important. I have excellent references. Just ask. Thank You 😊 I am available to take excellent care of your fur babies in my home. Fenced yard, walks and lots of love. You can count on me I have many animals that I take care of.

About: Taking care of my childhood dog for 12 yrs. On 1/4/24 i got a puppy, her name is Indigo & she’s my whole world. We have 6 cats at my mom’s house as well. I love all animals. My professional experience includes having worked at Petcoral Veterinary Hospital and Resort doing boarding and sitting in daycare along with helping veterinarians administer meds, do anal glands, nail trimming, bathing & etc. Pet care fits into my daily routine because i'm working on various projects at home so i prefer not to be employed full time. I enjoy the freedom of working odd jobs and the enjoyment of meeting new pets/people. I'm happy to do whatever you need me to for your pet/s and make sure all their needs are taken care of. I love animals & i love to travel so pet care fits into my routine perfectly. I love meeting new dogs/cats & getting to know their unique personalities. I care for pets by making sure they're fulfilled physically and mentally. Whether its petting them as much as they want or playing with them, i wanna become one of their favorite humans to spend time with.
About: I've taken care of my aunt's dogs since I was about 8, walking and feeding them when needed. I started taking care of my boyfriend's dog about 5 years ago where I would walk her, feed her, and pick up after her almost every day! I also have volunteer experience at Wash n Wag, where I bathed and clipped multiple dogs nails. I got a rabbit and gecko 3 years ago and I am still taking care of them till this day. I would love to take care of your pet also! I am not working at the moment so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pet and give him/her my full attention! I am available anytime on weekends and weekdays! When I walk dogs I let them lead the way, safely of course. They would never be left unattended and would get all of my attention on whatever they need/want! I would love to play with your dog (outside or inside depending on your preference), take them out for a potty break, feed and change water if needed and make them the happiest dog ever!
About: I grew up in a home of dogs and cats and now have one of each myself, so I have lots of experience with both. I have cared for a wide range of breeds, ages and personalities. I can administer medication, change doggy diapers and tire your pet out with fetch (or whatever they like). Favorite pet sitting experience: dog sitting 6 australian shepherds and 3 cats all under the same roof. All with different diets and daily routines. So much energy and so much speciality food. I am in the slow season of my seasonal job so I have more room for pet care than usual. My schedule changes weekly so my weekly availability varies. I have a super friendly dog that can keep your dog company for boarding or daycare. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m careful to read instructions very carefully and check in with the owner if unsure about anything.
“Ashley was amazing and so wonderful with our dogs. We couldn't have found anyone better. She was very communicative and kept us informed when our senior dog was having issues. Through it all she was kind, patient and responsible. Ashley has our highest recommendations!”

About: CLEAN, NON SMOKING, HOME – Private Fenced Yard ~ Dog sitting is part of my business called Gail’s Personal Assistant Services. Please INCLUDE A CONTACT NUMBER IN YOUR INITIAL MESSAGE. I prefer communicating by phone or text. I have two small dogs, a Havashu and a Westie. My back yard is fenced and safe. I sit for many clients who come to the island and stay at inns that do not allow dogs. I have great references. It’s nice to know that while you are here playing, your fur-baby is also having a grand time. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. I should say I am an animal lover. I've had cats in my past also. My mother had dogs in our home, so I was raised with them. About my yard It is a fenced in yard, not too large, but big enough for them to play and run around. My experience administering medication Yes. As I have two pups of my own, I have experience in doing this job. I have administered medication to my client's pups when they needed it. My Overnight Stays An overnight stay is 24 hours. If you are gone over the 24 hour period for the one stay, then there is an additional charge for a day care stay. I have loads of time to play with your pups! I'm home most of the time except for some errands. They will love it here with my two! I let my pet run free and they are allowed to sleep with me. I can also crate your pet if that is how you have trained him/her.
“Kashmir was great with our boys. I think they like her more than they like us🥴 She sent pictures to us during her stay with them. I appreciated that very much. I think she spoiled them so much during her stay they’re actually disappointed to have us back home😳😂 We will definitely ask Kashmir to watch our boys again. Thank you Kashmir!! From Charlie and Short Round”

“Amazing experience with Emily, who dog sat our two fur babies overnight. Our mini dachshund is shy with most people but immediately ran up to Emily. This was our first time using an overnight dog sitter, and we had no worries or concerns, which is a huge relief. Dogs were calm and happy when we got home. Highly recommend Emily for your dog sitting needs!”
