“Selina was a fantastic sitter. My pup had the BEST time. From playing with the other pups to a fun outing to the softball field. 100% recommend.”
2. Patricia D.
“Pat is amazing! I was looking for a sitter to not only watch my new fur baby while I was out of town, but also someone who does daycare. When reaching out to Pat she started the process with a meet-and-greet to ensure our fur babies were a good fit, I really appreciated that extra step. I sent my baby to Pat yesterday for daycare for the very first time, and Pat made the experience amazing! She sent me pictures and videos to quell my nerves and sadness for having to leave my baby while I went to work for a 12-hour shift. I felt like she cared for my Miss Lucille like it was her own dog. Speaking of her own dog, Pat has the sweetest fur baby, Gilly. Gilly is a gentle giant who is so patient with Lucille, as Lucille is still learning to play with fur friends. I am 100% satisfied and thrilled to have found Pat as a sitter for my baby, and I already have my next two sittings booked with her.”

13. Amanda L.
“Amanda house sat my dog (75lbs) for almost 2 weeks while I traveled out west. Her service was amazing and she kept me posted with daily photos and texts. Amanda followed all of the instructions and diet/ medicine guide for my dog as he has health issues and requires very specific needs. I felt completely at ease with her taking care of my dog, and fish. She told me that she grew up her entire life fostering dogs and cats that were sick, injured, or just needed a home to stay in before they were adopted. She is a very caring, outgoing, fun, welcoming, and delightful person. I would recommend her to anyone for anything pet related. Amanda is the best option in town to take care of your fur baby.”

Darcy is super helpful and her time with darcy has been a huge help for helping to teach her”

About: I’ve had at least one dog in my house since I was born and I couldn’t imagine life without pups in the home (is it even a home without animals? 😉) My husband and I have a mini dachshund and a mini Australian Sheppard who love to play with other friendly dogs. I was a teacher so I’m very organized and used to caring for others all day. I work from home so I am available all day throughout the week and weekends to let your dog outside and give them lots of attention. I have a really big yard with grass for your pups to enjoy! I also have two small dogs who love to play and would love some friendly visitors. I can easily crate your dog if needed or accommodate most requests.
18. Kate L.
“Kate has always been an animal lover. She will love your animal as her own during her pet caregiver time. She will definitely go above and beyond to make sure your pet has what it needs while you are away.”
19. Bailey S.
About: I have taken care of houses, plants, animals, and kids since I was in high school. My jobs throughout college and beyond are all through those I've networked with via caretaking. I work from home and am on a flexible 9-5 schedule. Aside from a few weekly calls I can walk/sit at any hour. I go on daily walks so why not add a pup! I have a big backyard and live a short walk to the beach and river. If you pup loves to play, I have a great spot. I am an animal lover and we do care for our neighbors outdoor cat sometimes. If your pup is not cat friendly, just let me know beforehand so I can make sure the cat stays away.

“Great first visit at Vickie's place for daycare. Luna seemed to enjoy herself and made friends. Vickie has a lovely home and great backyard for the pups!”
