Gregg is an awesome pet sitter. My dogs were very comfortable with him. He is kind, considerate, caring and he pays attention to detail. He sent many pictures and provided detailed status updates during the sit. My dogs and I will definitely be requesting his pet sitting services again soon!

Christina agreed to watch our 15-week-old puppy on fairly short notice, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the initial meet and greet through the day of house sitting, she was very professional, always on time, and our puppy gravitated to her immediately. This was our first time leaving the puppy since bringing her home a month and a half ago, and Christina made it so much easier to go out and enjoy ourselves without worrying. She sent a few thoughtful updates during the visit, including pictures, and it was clear they were both enjoying their time together. I also appreciated that she was very mindful of why I was out of the house and timed her updates so they wouldn’t interfere. I cannot recommend her enough and would not hesitate to trust her with our pup in the future.

Alexys did a great job with our kitten and puppy. She kept us updated on how they were doing. Our puppy is skittish around new people and things and she was able to win him over. She was also very professional and our home was as we left it. We will be using her again in a few days after having her here for the past week.

About: Caring for pets is my passion. I'm a veterinary assistant with experience in general practice, emergency/critical care, and medical oncology. I have also volunteered as a puppy sitter for Guide Dogs for the Blind, an organization dedicated to helping the visually impaired community. Growing up, I always helped family, friends, and neighbors care for their pets, and I began my professional career in veterinary medicine at 19 years old. My beloved dog Dovey crossed the rainbow bridge recently. I would love to offer pet sitting/dog walking services to help you, and to help heal my heart. I am currently available for pet sitting service in your home, and dog walking service. I am currently looking for full time employment. Availability is subject to change when I begin working full time. My priority is making your pet feel safe and comfortable. I am well versed in animal behavior and reading their body language. I always approach pets in a calm, gentle manner.

Amanda went above and beyond in caring for North. She sent me photos several times a day, including during walks, and North seemed very happy to spend time with her. She left my home in perfect condition, and I feel confident that North was very well taken care of. I highly recommend Amanda to other pet owners, and I will absolutely hire her again! Thank you, Amanda!

About: I have worked with all kinds of animals throughout my life, learning to train cats and dogs on my own. I’m also familiar with exotic pets such as pythons and bearded dragons. I can comfortably administer different kinds of medications to most animals, including oral liquids and pills, sub-Q and IM injections, and topicals. Currently I am available as a full-time pet sitter for house-stays and drop-ins. I often sit for multiple houses at once, doing house-stays for one client and drop-ins for 1-3 others depending on the services and times needed per client. When I meet an animal for the first time, my priority is gaining their trust. I spend time casually observing so I can take note of their personality and physical forms of communication, but I don’t get too close or move too quickly until I’ve given the animal a chance to take me in as well. Once trust is established, we can move on to wearing leashes and harness, medication routines, playing, etc.

I am very attentive & gentle with animals, and am happy to share photos and updates of your pets while they are in my care!

I am available for overnights & drop-ins any day of the week.

I am very attentive & gentle with animals, and am happy to share photos and updates of your pets while they are in my care! I've worked as a house cleaner before as well, and you can expect me to keep your home tidy, scoop litter daily, and care for any house plants.

About: Long-time Dog Lover and Owner Here! I’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old, ranging from Beagles to Pits but I love all breeds of dogs. Over the years I’ve done lots of dog sitting for friends and family and am always up for some good play time and cuddle time with doggos. I’m experienced with administering medication to dogs and cats. I’m also a quick learner and will be very mindful about particular requests in caring for your dog. I love to walk all over the city and look forward to taking your fur babies along with me!. If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and spoiling your pups with lots of love! Note: Unfortunately, I cannot care for or accommodate cats as I am highly allergic :( I currently work mornings until 2pm and live close to work so I have full afternoons and evenings available for your fur baby. I’m also off on weekends and have open availability. I have a fenced in yard and no pets currently. I do have a 5-year-old child but she has been around dogs and is very kind and gentle with them. However, your dog must be ok with small children. I also live in a neighborhood with wide sidewalks and a nearby playground making it super easy to walk your dog. I also have a car so I can easily drive to places in the area to for drop-in visits and dog sitting.

What can I say? I was nervous and worried to leave my hobby farm for a work trip. I made instruction sheets, took pictures, portioned food and stressed when I got into my UBER. Anthony walked into the home and respected my dogs, was patient with them, gave them the attention they needed and in the time they were ready for it, sent me pictures, gave me updates, asked the right questions, looked after the chickens, goats, turkey, and ducks. He made a stressful trip so much better by a simple message. When I arrived home, I had six tired pups, house was clean, Anthony greeted us with a smile and lots of stories. Anthony went above and beyond. He exceeded my expectations and he embraced the property and fur/feathered babies like they were his. I will always ask him first before looking for anyone else. Thank you Anthony for caring about my family as much as you did. We will see you soon. To all you folks out there needing a sitter/walker, I come first for reservations (LOL) and if he has a time slot for you…… take it. He is one of a kind.

About: I have been in a household with animals all of my life. When I was 18 we had a Rottweiler named Max who was compassionate and over protective; at 22 I had a red-nose Pit-bull who was spoiled rotten and playful and enjoyed being around my son. We had him for 15 years, and currently I have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Duke who is smart, calm, and lovable. Over the years, I grown to love each animal individually and learn their mannerisms to help me care for them the best way possible. My dogs are apart of family, and we pride ourselves in providing a home-like atmosphere for them. I currently work full-time for a school organization. My summers are relaxed and filled with plenty of leisurely time. I am free all afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I start my work day at 9 am, but I’m up as early as 6am. I have secured a high bar fenced with outside playhouse with a mat for my dog to lay. I have several types of collars to help me walk or secure my dog when he is outside the house. I am quick learner and now how to adjust to any pet owners methods and house setups for their pet.
