“This was our 2nd time having Sheila stay with our hyper and energetic pit mix. She was responsive, clean, and every helped with other household things (skimmed pool, watered garden). Our pup takes medication which was given as prescribed. Sheila sent photos and updates and I felt very at ease knowing our house and pup were in good hands. We will definitely be using Sheila again and recommend her to anyone.”


“Rachel, is always great when she stay with our girls at the house. They love being able to be home when we are gone. She sends updates frequently with lots of pictures. She’s the best!”


“Destiny was absolutely fantastic and took great care of my doggie and even my ferret for 7 whole days! She was consistently in contact with me and went above and beyond while also meeting my unique circumstances with doing house showings while trying to sell my house. Definitely book with her, she’s the best!!”


“Blair took wonderful care of our dogs and home. She went above and beyond, with last minute changes and a medically complex dog. Would recommend to anyone that is normally reticent to leave their pups behind.”


“Justyce stayed in my home to take care of my dog and cat, who were both taking medication at the time. She was absolutely fantastic—letting me know when meds were given, when/how much they ate, etc. She even purchased more cool whip (to mix with one of my dog’s crushed medications) when it ran out. She asked questions about anything she wasn’t sure about, sent adorable pictures of the animals cuddling with her, and left the house looking better than when she arrived. It was so comforting to know that she was in my home, giving my pets lots of cuddles, pets and attention. When I got home, my pets were happy to see me, but showed no signs of stress or lack of attention. I would highly recommend Justyce to anyone who wants an attentive and communicative pet sitter that is willing to stay in your home to care for your fur babies. I will definitely be using her again!”


About: When i start college in January, i plan to take agriculture and own a ranch/farm rescue for dogs and any animals in need. Animals are my best friend and i couldn’t ever imagine being without them. I’ve taken care of 10 dogs most of my life. My parents love animals so i’ve always been around different kind of animals. They currently have 3 bunnies, guinea pigs, 10 cocker spaniels and 1 lab, and 2 cats. When they are away i am the main person to take care of them since they also foster and i’m the oldest kid in the family. I know how to care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments and personalities. I also am experienced in special needs dogs, my parents have a cocker spaniel who has special needs and he’s the sweetest dog i’ve ever met. Me and my girlfriend do this together and she is an amazing help, she’s cared for many animals like horses, dogs, cats, and fish. she’s like an animal whisperer.. she always knows what the animal wants and needs and always tends to them. she especially knows how to make dogs feel at home. ❤️🔥🐾 I had a senior dog , izzy who had cancer and i did my best to make her feel cared for through the time she had left. I really take my time caring for dogs with special needs and who are older, they need fun and love. 🐾 What i offer : • Boarding (Overnight stays) • At your home doggie sitting • Day care • Walking • Drop in visits • Clean, and spacious home • Structured play time, nap time and lovin time • Fully fenced in yard for supervised outdoor play and potty time • A calm living space where pups are free to play and relax • Lots of squeaky toys and stuffed animals 🦴🧸 • Doggie pool for the hot summer days 💦 • 2 walks a day 🐕 if they need more we are happy to provide more walks :) I understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new. That’s why i am firm on communication. I’ll send you updates, videos and pictures so you can see how much fun their having and be comfortable having them in my hands :) I am home most of the day, there may be a time where i have to run to do an errand like grocery shopping etc. My girlfriend is home all the time so she will be home to take care of your pups. Their safety and well being always comes first 🐶 Im 18 and work from home with my girlfriend. We are available 7 days a week. I have a fully fenced in yard so your pup can play outside and be safe. My home is tidy, and very clean. We make sure everything is put away. We know how it is to have a pup that likes to put everything in their mouth so we make sure to vacuum and mop. I live in a quiet little neighborhood. My house is a very spacious 4,000 square foot home and it was a church before it was turned into a house so it’s very unique. I have a cocker spaniel and a brittany mix, they are both very sweet and love new company. My brittany is 15 so he kinda just lays around but my cocker spaniel is 3 so she loveeesss to play.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals pretty much my whole life. I have a huge heart bucket for animals. All animals deserve snuggles, hugs, and sunshine. I am looking to make this my main source of income so I’m free according to YOUR schedule which makes this easier! I’m young and can take your pets for runs! My cat and I have a routine, we play a lot and play Tag and fetch with his favorite ball. I feed him 2x a day and then we sit outside from time to time. He roams the apartment and does pretty much whatever.

“She is the best! Wrigley was so well taken care of. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Samantha stayed 5 days so he could remain I. His own environment. She followed his routine, sent me pictures a couple of times a day and loved him like her own. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”


“Rachel did such an amazing job caring for our labradoodle, Stella. She’s 3 and never been left alone for more than a few hours. Rachel eased our minds and took wonderful care of her while we were gone for a last minute trip! Rachel was very kind, understanding and easy going. She made the process very easy and painless. She also did a great job communicating with us. We highly recommend Rachel!”


“Jordan met my pets before house sitting. I could tell right away that he was interested in my 2 dogs and a cat. He got down on their level and rubbed ears and neck exactly as they prefer. He was wonderful even doing little chores around the house unasked but very appreciated. All my pets are on meds and he managed them without difficulty even my cat’s ear med. Usually when I get home, my cat cries for a day as she is so happy to be back on her routine with me. This time she hardly peeped, letting me know that Jordan had been a pretty good substitute. I really wish I could keep Jordan a secret but I guess I need to share how good he is.”


“I couldn't be happier with the wonderful care Tamara provided for our 11-month old Duchess! She is a Catahoula Leopard and we adopted her from a rescue back in February. She is shy around new people but, when Tamara came to our home for a meet and greet, Duchess went right up to her! Tamara is a true gem and, if you need someone to stay in your home with your pet, I highly recommend her.”


“This is the second time Brittany has watched our pets for us and we absolutely love when she's here! She spends lots of time with our guys, makes sure our dog gets out for walks (even when the weather isn't great), and takes incredibly great care of our house! She goes above and beyond to ask if there are things around the house she can help with, like watering plants or getting garbage cans out. We'd love to have her back in the future!”


About: I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for over 20 years and just recently decided to stay home with my kids full time. Pet sitting has always been something I’ve done on the side for family and friends, but now that I have more time available, I’m very excited to be able to love and care for your fur babies just like they were my own! I am currently available for daily walks and 2 potty breaks per day, and of course PLAY TIME! I also offer drop in services if you do not feel your pet needs a walk or additional exercise. I am available for any and all of your pet care needs, and with 20 yrs of previous veterinary experience, I am also comfortable giving both oral medications and injectables for diabetic patients. I love being around all animals because they provide a great sense of calm and familiarity for me. I always treat a client’s pet just as I would my own and they will receive endless love & attention while in my care. I do work part time during the week and have two young boys at home- while we are a very active family, I can usually carve out time even on work days for drop in visits or walks.

“Madison was great! We felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs with her. She even cleaned up after herself and washed the bedding! I would recommend Madison to anyone looking for a great in home dog sitter!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12, through all stages of life, from puppy to adult to senior. I worked at a dog daycare and have experience with dog kenneling. I am a full time student with an extremely flexible schedule, so I have full availability to care for your pets. I am available anytime, any day of the week. I will care for the pet(s) as agreed upon by the owner, I am extremely flexible and will follow any instructions for caring for your pets.

“Katherine did a great job housesitting with my dog and cat for a week. They were comfortable with her and well cared for. She also was patient in dealing with a garage door issue that started happening the night before I went away. Thank you!”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my entire life! All of my dogs have been raised by me since birth, and I easily fall for puppy dog eyes I’m currently a college student back home for summer break with a ton of extra time! I’m looking to keep my schedule busy helping others around and near me. I treat any animal I see or visit as if they were my own!! I have so much love for every fur baby out there.

“Miranda and Mary have been great sitters for our two doggies. They are very responsive and sends pics with updates. We have used them twice and already have another trip booked with them. Glad to have found them and being so close.”
