“Anders is a wonderful pet parent, he is highly attentive and always ensures that the pets he is around are cared for. When we take our pups on adventures he always makes sure that they are having the best time! At home he is the go to for all our cats, you can find him watching TV with at least two cuddled up with him.

“Kayla is an amazing person with a big heart for animals! Growing up with three golden retrievers has given her a solid foundation in understanding their needs. She’s currently been using her experience by volunteering at the local animal shelter. She’s very good at balancing love and discipline with all the different pets she encounters. She still walks her own dogs at her childhood home and dog sits quite often so her empty nest parents can go out of town and not have to worry about a thing knowing Archie and Lincoln are in the best possible care!”

“Shae has cared for many pets. Two dwarf rabbits, one short haired tabby cat, and one lab mix to be exact. She has been responsible for food, water, exercise, and loving care for my pets. Also, she has had experience caring for two Shih Tzu dogs for a friend of mine. Shae is mindful of special diets, safety, and the overall physical and mental care of each animal.

About: I’m that person who will wind down my window at a red light to say hi to a dog, go out of my way to pet a dog, and talk to a dog like it’s human. I promise to care for your dog as if he or she is my own. I have experience with little dogs, big dogs, and everything in between. I am happy to come to your home to care for your fur baby (or babies). I will be respectful of your space and ensure that any toys, leashes, etc are put back in their rightful place. I am happy to cater to any needs that your dog may have. I work from home Monday through Friday, so my schedule is flexible. I am happy to adjust my schedule to fit the needs of your pet(s). I provide care for your pets in your home based on their daily routines and give them all of my love! I can also walk your fur baby or babies for whatever length of time needed. I love cleaning (I’m weird like that 😂) so I will keep your home clean. I am happy to water plants, bring in mail, etc.
16. Kristina C.
“My family's favorite pet sitter! Kristina is great with our pets; she loves and cares for them as if they were her own. We have two large dogs that are big and strong, but she handles them so well! Plus, her communication is top notch - never misses a call or text which really puts me at ease. There's no one I trust more than Kristina!”
17. Kassandra B.
“Kassie is SO sweet and will love on your pet so well! I have trusted her to watch my dog multiple times and would 100% trust her to watch him again and again! The attention she gives, along with snuggles, play time, walks, and belly rubs always leave our dog not wanting to leave! Kassie is easily one of our dog's favorite people!”
18. Paul C.
“Excellent care.”
19. Ciboney R.

20. Heather H.
“Heather is a Five-Star Sitter!! She’s helped care for my 2 elderly dogs for the last couple years now. She is very caring and understanding with my dogs’ special needs. I’ve enjoyed her energetic personality and timely responses on the app. She is always on time and always sends me updates throughout her stay. She is also an expert on cats, so she’s perfect if you needed someone for both. I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies! Thank you, Heather.”
