1. Damian J.

“Damian did a great job watching over our two little ones! He provided plenty of updates during their stay and we felt like we could relax while they were in his care. Bella and Duncan came back tired out which is exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend Damian if you are looking for a playdate for your pup! Looking forward to using him again 🙂”


2. Joseph L.

“Joseph was really nice and allowed me to come inside to his home to check out where my dog would be roaming as well as allowed me to meet his dogs. He sent me pictures throughout my dogs visit and remained professional and kind!”


3. Kara Y.
“Kara is the biggest dog lover I knows She loves her dogs almost as much as she loves her own kids and that’s saying a lot. She takes such good care of her dogs and she will treat the dogs she is taking care of as she treats her own: with great love, care, and respect. Kara has a heart as big as the size of Texas and anyone could take great comfort in knowing that their dogs are safe with Kara. And the dogs love her because of her warmth, care, and attention she gives to them. Your dog will be in good hands with Kara.”


4. James T.


“James is very kind and patient as he’s taken care of many dogs. He was extremely communicative about the dogs he was concurrently sitting along with my dog. He is very capable and my pup who has been in a bit of moving transition is very calm after his care with James. I highly recommend him!”


5. Pia B.
About: Hey there! I'm Pia. I work from home, and becuase I own my own businesses, my schedule is pretty flexible and largely up to me. I have a comfy detached house (couch and bed lounging welcome), with a big yard (NOT fenced in), gated front porch, and nice long lead (if your pup likes some solo sun bathing). I have an 11 y/o shepherd/husky mix that is great with other dogs, not territorial, and very independent - he'll likely ignore/be very indifferent towards your dog if they're both at the house at the same time. I take him on walks at the beach, douglas preserve, and around the neighborhood at least twice per day, and your doggo can join if you're comfortable with that! King is with me every other week. I've owned and cared for dogs my entire life, all rescues, so I'm comfy with all the quirks. Always happy to do one offs, but super love to build a relationship with your guy/girl and love repeat customers :) When I have King, we do both an AM and PM walk (either leashed around the neighborhood, or off leash at Douglas Family Preserve, or one of the beaches in town). If schedule allows, we sneak out mid-day too, and if not, we at least spend some time sitting outside together in the sun. We hike the local trails as often as possible too! Breakfast for us is usually around 7a and dinner around 5p, but can be flexible to your dog's schedule. When I don't have him, it's no biggie to follow a similar schedule as when I do since I'm used to it. My home is minimal (not a lot to get into / destroy / etc), and all my rugs, couch, bed, etc are all dog friendly. Trash is in a drawer, and I can easily put the few food items I have on the counter up higher if your dog likes to counter surf. I'm used to the hair and sand, etc that comes in with dogs, and not bothered by it. My room has a fenced in balcony off a sliding glass door, so if your dog likes an indoor/outdoor lifestyle like mine, it's a great way for them to get some fresh air and stay close.


6. Ryan K.

“Ryan was very flexible and great with Zoey. Zoey went on many outings and was well cared for. I appreciated the pictures and updates. Zoey had a blast and was sad to leave. Ryan is very friendly and easy to work with.”


7. Honey T.

“I'm so happy that I found Honey! She and her pup Rosie were a great match for Bucky. Honey sent photos and updates often, and was very quick to respond. She was intuative with Bucky's needs and I knew he was in great hands. She has a comfortable home and bed that Bucky didn't want to get out of. This is my first experience on this app and I have no hesitation leaving Bucky with her in the future. Thanks again honey! A++”


8. Haven P.

“Another Great experience with Haven. Easy pick up and drop off, she updated me throughout the day and sent photos from their adventures! My pup was exhausted which only makes the Rest of my day easier as well. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a caretaker for your doggo and loom forward to scheduling again!”


9. Elissa C.
About: I had a dog when I was 10 and usually took him out for walks. Unfortunately, he passed away few years ago. And now I have 2 cats back in my parents’ house. Im willing to take care both cats and dogs! I often take dogs out for a walk from shelter and i am enjoying it! I am working part-time and have plenty of time to do something else. I can spend time to play with pets and I do enjoy playing with pets. I have fenced yard and camera around the house that I can check on the pets. I have cats equipments at home since I already have 2 cats.


10. Alexandra D.

“Alex was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Our dog came home exhausted as they went on multiple excursions with Alex. We feel our dog was well cared for during her stays with Alex. Thank you Alex!”


11. Ash V.
“Ashley has been amazing with my 1-year-old Goldendoodle! She’s attentive, active, and clearly loves animals. My dog is always excited to see her. Highly dependable and communicative.”


12. Naoko G.

“I recently booked sitting services for my dog to Naoko, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience! From the moment we arrived, I was impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere. Naoko is incredibly kind and attentive with my dog, and it was clear that he felt at ease and genuinely enjoyed his time with her and her family. I felt completely reassured knowing he was in such a nurturing environment. I’m really grateful for the care she provided and will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future. If you're looking for a loving pet sitter, I highly recommend Naoko!”


13. Courtney M.

“Courtney took great care of my two anxious little rescue pups! I could tell they had a relaxing time staying with her, which is no small thing, since they tend to get very nervous with a new sitter. I would definitely use Courtney’s services again.”


14. Grace & Anthony C.

“Ripley's first stay with Grace was today and I could tell she had a great time & was well taken care of!:) thanks again Grace!”

“Candice is absolutely amazing!! My boy Skye went to her for daycare and Candice went way over and above any expectations I may have had. She took Skye on long walks, including the beach, and Skye just fell in love with her. She is a warm, kindhearted and loving soul, and I would recommend her ten thousand times over. Thank you Candice!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”


17. Jacob E.

“Jacob and his wife are wonderful to work with. They cared for our Bella, and sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. This is our 2nd time working together and we highly recommend them!”




18. Melissa C.
About: I have had animals all my life. My mother was a veterinary technician and as a kid I often went to work with her and helped with the animals. I have owned my own dogs since the age of 19 and have seen them all through their entire lives. I currently have a very sweet 2 year old rescue pup who LOVES other dogs! We would be happy to have you visit for the day (huge backyard for playing) or to stay in either your home or mine with your friendly, well-trained dog(s). I have a lot of medical knowledge about dogs and am great in emergencies in case anything happens. I am very empathetic and can anticipate many dogs needs. Some of my friends have shared that my connection with animals is palpable. I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility to be able to help others give their pets what they need when it comes to dog walks, daycare, and overnights. I offer a lot of love and companionship and my super friendly pup would love a playmate! Great for the busy working dog parent I will do whatever it takes to keep your dog safe, comfortable and happy. I can watch your dogs either in my home or yours (must be dog friendly and trained), and will follow any rules you have set out for your doggo's care.


19. Andrea R.

“Andrea was a good communicator, attentive sitter, and bonded well with our pup. We would not hesitate to book her again.”


20. Konrads W.
“First off - Konrads loves dogs! He is patient and observant and meets your dog where they are at. We have a pittie mix and a chihuahua and they love Konrads. Whether you need a slower outing for an older dog or a good beach run or hike for your more active pals, he can accommodate your pets' needs. He is totally trustworthy if you need a pet sitter. He will make sure your fur babies are happy and healthy while you're away and you can relax knowing everything is covered at home. Konrads has cared for our dogs for the last few years and they are so excited when he arrives! They love spending time with him!! Call Konrads - you won't be disappointed!!”
