“The dogs were well taken care of and happy when I got back! Ava did a couple overnights with my two dogs and was very responsive and sent me updates and pics while I was gone. Happy to have her watch them again!”

“Fynch has anxiety and Dina worked with him to gain his trust. She sent me pictures regularly as well. She left the house clean, including taking out the trash before leaving. I've never used this service before but I very well may in the future!”
“Maggie was outstanding. She had a lot of fun with Karma, and provided regular updates and photos. Extremely professional. I highly recommend her. Will use her services again!”

About: With over 10 years of professional pet care experience, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My background includes managing the Canine Behavior Department at the Humane Society, where I specialized in working with fearful, reactive shelter dogs. I also led the New Beginnings program, teaching incarcerated men how to safely handle and train dogs preparing for adoption. In addition to pet sitting and daycare experience, I have veterinary technician experience caring for both dogs and cats, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’ve trained dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments using patient, positive methods focused on building trust and confidence. Whether your pet needs structured training, extra patience, medical awareness, or simply loving care while you’re away, I bring experience, reliability, and genuine passion to every animal I work with. I am available full-time to care for your fur babies, which allows me to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day and night. Don’t worry about your pets having to leave their familiar environment or stray from their routine. I provide personalized care, training, and enrichment for your pets in the comfort of their own home, helping them stay happy, relaxed, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Reese was incredible. She made our three pets feel loved, gave a lot of attention and was very respectful to our home. She took our dog on walks, showed love to our cats and was very responsive. Thank you for making us feel safe on our week getaway. We look forward to having you again :) thank you !”

“Victoria was great with my pup. She sent pictures throughout the day, took her on a long walk and out to go potty. She was attentive and loving and willing to work on the crate training we are doing. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I own my own cat sanctuary, I feed an army of stray cats in my backyard. I have fostered newborn kittens. I was also a dog bather for a little over a year. I have full flexibility and availability in my schedule, I am currently unemployed looking to make this my full time job. I can come over at any time of the day. In a clients house I will feed the animal and let them go outside/walk them. Make sure your pet didn’t make any accidents in the house and clean up any mess that is made. I will also make sure your cuddly friend gets lots of attention and love.

“It was great having Kaitlynn watch over our place while we were away. We were reassured that our cat was getting his required meds, as well as love and attention in our absence.”

“Emma was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our three fur babies and went above and beyond, taking them on extra walks, giving them so much love, and keeping them happy while we were away. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands and that we didn’t have to stress about someone being in our home. We came back to happy dogs and a tidy house! We can’t recommend Emma enough. thank you for treating our pups like your own! ❤️🐾”

“Emily was lovely! We were desperate for someone to watch our young pup for a few hours. Emily arrived early, we went over care, she listened carefully. Our dog loved Emily, clearly, as she wound up spending part of the visit in Emily’s lap. We had clear communication & photo updates during her brief stay, too. Emily was very conscientious and respectful. I would definitely have her back to care for our pup anytime!”

“This was Alison’s second time staying with Snacks and we hope she will be back for more. Great updates, happy, comfortable pup and a clean house. We are so thankful for the wonderful care she provides!”


“Christina did a wonderful job with our dog and 2 cats. She was professional, arranging a meetup and taking seriously all our pets needs. She went above and beyond to make our pets and ourselves feel secure. She provided regular updates and took plenty of photos. She kept our house clean and even provided toys for the pets. We recommend Christina for anyone needing her services.”
“We are new to Rover. We met Madison at the park prior to our booking to make sure it was a good fit for her and our two beagles. She was on time and easy to talk to. We could tell the dogs were going to be fine with her. We had left her with a document of the dogs' daily routine. She did great following the instructions. While on our trip, she would text us updates and pictures. That was very thoughtful of her to do that. It made being away easier on us. The hardest part of taking care of our dogs is walking them because one likes to bark at everything and pull and the other one likes to lunge at cars. She did great and to our surprise, they behaved better for her! We would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a dog/house sitter.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Adriane! I was out of the country for two weeks and she took such good care of Charlie. She shared updates and photos every day. He had recently lost his brother and had never been apart from him in almost 12 years. It was also the longest time I’ve ever left him so I was extremely anxious about leaving him. Our flight was also delayed an extra day and she was flexible and offered to stay until we returned. The house was immaculate when we returned as well. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about Charlie. Adriane will always be my first choice for a sitter from now on.”

“Not sure who liked her more our dog or us!!! Sammie is amazing! Followed the directions for our dog down to the very finest detail. She communicates often and clearly and took care of everything we needed. We highly recommend Sammie and will calling her in the future!”

“I was so nervous to leave my pups for the first time with a sitter. However, I was so happy and pleasantly surprised to have Kayla as our dog sitter for the first time. She spent so much time with the puppies and was very attentive to their needs. Sending lots of pictures while we were on vacation. I will absolutely be using her hopefully in the future if she’s available. I would highly recommend her to anybody who wants somebody who will truly care for their animals.”


“Nellie did a great job house sitting for my two dogs and two cats. Both the dogs and the cats seemed happy and relaxed when I came back, and she was able to stay an extra night when my return flight was cancelled. I received pictures and updates throughout my trip.”

“Carissa is UNBELIEVABLE!! She went over and above what I asked her to do!! She stayed the weekend ( I wanted someone with my little girl all the time) came home and my house was cleaner than I had even left it!! She’s really good!”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses, so caring for pets isn’t just a job, it’s truly my passion. I just lost my senior dog, which means I understand how much your furry family member means to you. I specialize in caring for anxious pets and know how to create a calm, reassuring environment so they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. Before every stay I love to do a meet and greet, so your pet and I can get acquainted before you leave. My mornings are completely free, so your pet gets walks, playtime and plenty of cuddles to start the day. I’m available both weekdays and weekends and communicate as often as you’d like, expect lots of photos and updates! I follow your pet’s existing routine and your instructions to the letter, from feeding schedules to medication administration to emergency protocols. Your rules, your way.

We feel very fortunate to have Dakota caring for our home and our fur family (1 big old dog, and 2 cats). He cared for them and sent us updates and pictures everyday as to how things were going at home, and specifically, with our fur family. We came home to a clean home and pets who were happy to see us, but not at all stressed. We will definitely call on Dakota again, and we're relieved to have a plan should we choose to leave home for business or pleasure going forward. I certainly imagine you would have the same experience with Dakota!

I can’t say enough good things about Adriane! I was out of the country for two weeks and she took such good care of Charlie. She shared updates and photos every day. He had recently lost his brother and had never been apart from him in almost 12 years. It was also the longest time I’ve ever left him so I was extremely anxious about leaving him. Our flight was also delayed an extra day and she was flexible and offered to stay until we returned. The house was immaculate when we returned as well. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about Charlie. Adriane will always be my first choice for a sitter from now on.

Charlotte was a great sitter for my elderly dog. She really loves animals and was so kind to my dog Betty. She housesat for me and always communicated well and my home and Betty were in perfect shape when we got home. She was able to troubleshoot when Betty had potty accidents in the home and made sure to send lots of photos. Would book again and recommend.

Reese was incredible. She made our three pets feel loved, gave a lot of attention and was very respectful to our home. She took our dog on walks, showed love to our cats and was very responsive. Thank you for making us feel safe on our week getaway. We look forward to having you again :) thank you !

Larissa did an outstanding job taking care of our girl! She kept up well informed on how things were going and provided us with a bunch of pictures, which helped us not miss Hidee quite so much. With Larissa's care, Hidee bounced back from us leaving her, coming around much faster than she normally does when we aren't around. We'll happily use Larissa's services again.
