About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! At one point, my family had up to four dogs at a time. I also have taken care of other animals (lizards, cats, fish) for neighbors, friends, and random job postings found online! I am capable of bathing, walking, feeding, giving medications/ treatments, socializing, or whatever you need for your pets! I am currently in school online and taking some time off of work! This leaves me with extreme flexibility to take care of your animals. Every pet and pet parent is unique! As long as you give me the gist of what your pet needs, I am happy to provide that.
“Nicole was wonderful and came through for us in a pinch! My dog and cat warmed to her immediately. She was incredibly responsive throughout the sit and extra helpful with things like packages. I highly recommend her! She has a great calming energy for anxious pets.”
“Kat took great care of my dogs and my house while I was on vacation for 32 days. It was a big relief to know my dogs were safe and well cared for. I don’t travel much but I would be happy to use her services again.”
“We can’t thank Michelle enough for the incredible care she provided to Hampton during our 12 day trip. This was our first extended vacation since Hampton was recently diagnosed with chf, and leaving him was understandably stressful. From our very first meet and greet, Michelle immediately put us at ease with her kindness, confidence, and genuine love for animals. Hampton now requires medication six times a day, and Michelle never hesitated to take on his complex care routine. She made sure he stayed on schedule, kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, and treated him like he was her own. Knowing he was in such capable and compassionate hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and a spotless home. Michelle exceeded every expectation, and we would not hesitate to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond, Michelle is the one. Thank you again for everything! We are so grateful.”
“Jena provided exceptional pet sitting services for our two bulldogs. Her communication was outstanding throughout the stay, keeping us promptly informed of any concerns and proactively offering to coordinate veterinary care when one of our dogs experienced paw issues. Her attention to detail extended beyond pet care - she maintained the house immaculately and took the initiative to launder and remake the guest bedroom. Regular updates about our dogs' well-being gave us complete peace of mind during our absence. Based on this experience, we wholeheartedly endorse Jena as a trustworthy and professional pet sitter!”
“Kaiya helped us last minute with a drop in over the holidays for our 2 medium sized rescue dogs. She was very kind and patient with them. She was easy to communicate with and asked good questions which helped me feel reassured. We will be working with her again.”
“She was extremely incredible with our 3 weenies who are still working on potty training! Would 100% use her again. She is super accommodating and kept us updated throughout the week. Finally had a stress free vacation thanks to her!”
“Valerie was extremely reliable, responsive and caring for our 2 pups. She stayed at our house with them for a full week and even won over our shy dog very quickly. She sent us tons of pictures and we felt confident they were in great hands. We will use her again!”
“Matthew was able to watch Charlie last minute and was great to work with. Matthew kept me updated, sent pictures, and Charlie seemed very happy and well cared for. Will definitely book again!”
“Josie was a great house-sitter! Very appreciative of her flexibility with scheduling, and she took great care of my dog, who’s still learning how to meet new people and be away from me.”
“Emilia was a wonderful dog sitter for my two pups. With her calm energy she made friends quickly with my more anxious one and was super patient with my senior. She also provided updates and pictures throughout the weekend. I'm so glad we found Emilia, I look forward to booking her for another sit soon.”
“Barbara was fantastic. She took excellent care of our dog and our house. She sent us pictures everyday and let us know how things were going. She took our doggie on regular walks and cared for him as if he were hers. He was a very happy dog when we got home. I highly recommend Barbara!!”
“Kasey was a wonderful sitter, can’t recommend her enough! She took great care of my two kitties, one of which has asthma and needed special treatment, and she sent helpful updates throughout her stay. My Sophia is normally a HUGE introvert and hides when new people come but she warmed up to Kasey instantly and she shared the cutest cuddly pictures. Kasey was timely and gave my Eloise her inhaler every morning and night during the stay (Eloise even had a coughing fit which Kasey was able to respond to quickly and administer the emergency inhaler). I will definitely be booking with Kasey again for future cat sitting ☺️”
“Ryan is an exceptional pet sitter. He’s professional diligent friendly and he loves animals. Our dog Sammy is very particular about whom he likes and Sammy loves Ryan. It’s very hard for me to leave my dog when we travel. However I never worry when Ryan is caring for him. When we return it’s obvious Sammy has been well cared for and well loved by Ryan.”
“Hong was wonderful with our puppy. She kept us up to date with frequent pictures and was so kind and loving to him. He really enjoyed having her care for him and was extremely happy the whole time. I highly recommend her if you are looking for the best care for your pet.”
About: Hello, my name is Candance and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I have been working with animals of all kinds for 10+ years. I have done long term sitting, walking, and special needs care for dogs and cats. I also have two rescue cats myself Hira who has impaired vision and epilepsy and Nisha who is blind. I am very use to detailed medication plans and treatments because of this. I work from home full time and this allows me a lot of freedom to go for walks during the day or work from someone else’s home and be there all day. I will always treat your animals with love and kindness and will always do my best to communicate with you to put you at ease. Don’t hesitate to message to ask any questions or for potential bookings! I currently work full time remotely and this gives me a lot of freedom to work at other houses or be out with your pets! Treating my clients houses with respect is my top priority next to your pets safety. I believe is lots of communication to hopefully instill trust between us and my care for your pet.

It was so great having Alix stay with Koda! We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. She sent lots of pictures and updates and was wonderful about communicating throughout our time away. Alix is so sweet and kind, and we could tell Koda loved her. We’d happily have Alix stay with her again. Thank you, Alix!
Erik was very attentive to my dog’s needs while I went away for a family birthday celebration last week! I really appreciate all of the communication from Erik - even before house sitting began, from taking notes and asking thoughtful questions about behavior challenges, feeding schedules, and walking routes during our meet-and-greet, to staying in touch and sending regular updates while I was away. Thanks Erik for taking the time to learn about and get to know Tam, and for working with her during your stay. I know she can be a bit challenging, so all of the care and effort you put in was very much appreciated!
Richard is wonderful. He did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cleo. Richard was quick to communicate, made sure Cleo was tended to and loved, and sent a bunch of pictures (which came appreciated). We also received an (incredible) comprehensive update at the end of the visit. 5 stars!!
Barbara was wonderful with Freckles during a big transition for our family. She was originally hired to be with him while I was in labor, but when our baby arrived earlier than expected, she ended up helping us throughout the postpartum period instead. She was professional, communicative, punctual, and incredibly caring toward Freckles, who is a very anxious dog and really benefited from the extra company, attention, and exercise. We had a very positive experience with Barbara and would absolutely work with her again!
Cameron was swell. He came very often and always left great updates and photos. It was the first time I left my 1 year old orange male cat Ace so I was a bit nervous. Also because Ace is a ‘wobbly’ cat with some movement issues, of which he is completely unaware. But Cameron was wonderful with him and my Tibetian Terrier Dorjie (Tibetan for Lightening Bolt) and both really enjoyed his visits.
Jess is amazing! Jess did a wonderful job with our three pups. Our dogs are very energetic and have specific needs. Jess did an excellent job making sure they were all well taken care of. Our house was also in excellent condition. 100% recommend working with Jess.
Elisa was so communicative, and absolutely lovely to both us and to our bunny Oscar. The photos were such a relief to see, and her daily updates were so thorough. She helped out around the house when she was there even though she didn’t have to. We would absolutely ask her to come back if she’s ever available!
Ashley is wonderful for both day sits and overnights. She takes the best care of our dog, administering daily medication and following special care when needed. She is a great communicator and we feel at ease when our Ruthie is left in her care. Thanks Ashley!
We originally had Maya walk our golden retriever and she did an excellent job with that so we decided to have her dogsit when we went out of town. We've now had her dogsit for us twice and she's done an absolutely perfect job both times. We come home to a clean house and happy dog every time.
