“Cannot tell you how happy we were with Sherry! Her communication, picture history of the babies and overall performance were better than a 10, I would highly suggest her services. We will be going away again soon and be asking for her services again. Thank you, Sherry for taking such care of all our babies.”

“Jhada was so sweet, the boys were so happy and the house was so clean, it doesn’t even look like the dogs were home all weekend much less a new person! Will definitely book again!”

“100% recommend Olivia to watch your pet! She was accommodating and communicative. She sent daily pics and videos - and even brought in our packages. Our dog got daily runs and loved her time with Olivia!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable working with dogs and cats of all ages, and I have specific experience with both puppy training and senior pet care. I am Currently Working from home so I am readily available! I also Have pets of my own so I am used to taking care of my animals and my adopted babies( your pets) on a routine schedule! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s routine consistent. I follow all instructions exactly—feeding, medication, walking routes, crate or bedtime routines, and any training the pet is currently working on. I maintain a calm, respectful presence in the home, keep the environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are safe and happy.
About: I am the one who all of my friends ask to pet sit! Because I love them and spoil them like they are my own!!!!! I work from home so i would like to add some dog walking and pet sitting into my schedule -the house needs some furry friends. I prefer to care for the pet in their environment-its less stressful for the pet. Once the pet is familiar with me then maybe that would change. I do live in an apt and do not have a yard. However there is a pet play area in our complex and plenty of walking paths.
“JMark was absolutely wonderful. He kept us updated throughout each day he watched our babies with pictures and videos. We were worried that our Malinois would not accept him and she took to him right away. She was attached to him so much so that when we came back it felt like she wanted him instead of us.🤣 JMark is definitely our man for next bookings.”

“Ashley is always so courteous and patient with me and my time. She took great care of Tokyo and she’s very responsive to what I need. I came home and my dog looked like he was well taken care of while I was away. Thank you Ashley. I will be booking more experiences with her. 🥰”

“We are so thankful for Amanda! She took such great care of our elderly dog over the weekend and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Her communication was excellent, she showed up early, and he even went the extra mile by cleaning the sheets afterwards. Truly wonderful experience. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”


About: With 11 years of dedicated ownership, I offer a level of intuition and patience that only comes from a lifetime of love. I specialize in recognizing subtle health cues, managing unique temperaments, and providing the mature, reliable care your dog deserves. I don’t just watch dogs—I understand them. Pet care is the heart of my day, not just a task. My flexible schedule allows me to offer undivided attention during mid-day walks or late-night snuggles. I treat every visit as an opportunity to provide the consistency and companionship your dog craves, fitting seamlessly into our shared routine I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run around. I also have a chair in the living room that is specifically for pups!

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I don’t just “watch” pets—I build trust with them, learn their personalities, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely happy while you’re away. I have experience working with pets of all ages and needs, including puppies who are still learning routines and senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training (like potty schedules, leash manners, and crate training) and sticking closely to any routines you’ve already established at home. For older pets, I pay close attention to mobility, medication schedules, and making sure they’re relaxed and stress-free. I structure my schedule to allow time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m intentional about not overbooking so I can give each pet the attention they deserve. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment. I keep things clean, stick to their normal routine, and make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. If pets are in my home, they’ll have a calm, safe, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest.

“1000% the best housesitter and pet sitter around! If I could give more stars I would! Recommend and trust her with my babies any day. She is professional as well as an all around kind person. Will rebook for future trips, if and when they pop up.”

“Catecha is the best. She was prompt, courteous and showed so much love to our Gracie. She updated us frequently on what was happening and gave Gracie plenty of love and attention. We will definitely use her services again in the future 😀!”

“Sydney was great! It was my dog’s first pet sitter experience and she was patient with him getting used to her, and had good communication throughout the day. He looked like he was having a great time with her. We definitely will book with her again in the future!”

About: I've cared for various types of beings such as fish, both land and aquatic turtles, bunnies, birds, cats and dogs. I believe these babies love me as much I love them. I am currently on an hybrid schedule which allows me time to pursue my other passion of fur/scale baby care. I find animal beings as blessings and it brings me joy to care for them. I currently have an aquatic turtle, 3 bunnies (are kept in a indoor hutch), a cat and a dog indoors, everyone have their own spaces in the house for fun time activities. My dog is small weighing at 15lbs, loves to assist me as he is my emotional support baby..He protects his brothers and sisters fur and scaley siblings.
“Lanae did amazing with my two pups! I have an older greyhound and young golden retriever who have the exact opposite personalities haha. She did wonderful with both! She kept me updating throughout the day and sent wonderful pictures to let me know my pups were doing well. I am so grateful for the time she spent with them while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone Loki g for a wonderful dog/house sitter.”

About: I'm all about consistency, structured, and love. You and your baby(ies) will feel secure with me. I'm very detailed and organized. I grew up in an old school 24hr home daycare for children. I feel fur babies should get that same attention, devotion and love. I also provide transportation for humans. 🐶 Pups who enjoy car rides travel with me for ride. For my pup parents, I also provide transportation to the airport for an additional fee. Pup parents are welcome to park their vehicle in my driveway. I create a place of peace for my fur babies. My home has a calm environment. Older pups who don't care to be bothered with other pups are separated. I make sure personal space is respected.
About: I understand animal behaviors and aspire to be a trainer eventually. While working in a boarding facility I noticed the dogs were not happy, uneasy and confused. Some wouldn't eat for days, some wouldn't go potty outside, and most would desperately look for their owners during our walks. And don't even get me started on how disarrayed the cats were. From that experience I knew I wanted to encourage pet owners if they must leave their pets, leave them at home, or in a homely environment, where they can be undividedly attended to, loved and cared for. I am a stay-at-home mother/wife, writer, artist, and animal lover with ample flexibility throughout the week. I like to plan my days at least 24 hours in advance to ensure efficiency in all my duties. Nature, nurture, and animals are part of my purpose for living I believe. Therefore, their wellbeing is what I care about. I am disciplined, forthcoming and honest, and enjoy interacting with others of similar character. Even though I play heavily with animals when they want to play with me, I also create an atmosphere of mutual respect and order, usually upon 1st introduction. This allows the pet to follow my lead and trust in me as a child would a parent.
“Carmen was amazing with our furbabies! (Two of our dogs are shy and she won them over immediately). I loved receiving daily pictures and videos!! We came home to a clean home and happy animals! We will definitely be booking again!”

“Brianna stayed at our house for 3 nights, watching all 3 of our dogs. They are big dogs who are not used to a lot of people and she was absolutely awesome with them! She was very good with communication and responding quickly. We really felt safe and confident in her abilities to take good care of our fur babies while we were out of town. I would highly recommend her!”
