“Our two dogs were instantly at ease with Kelly the moment they met her. She watched our two large dogs (60lb and 70 lb) for eleven days while we were traveling. She took each of them on a walk every morning, kept them company during the day, and spent the night at our house for their peace of mind (and ours). She coped admirably with an unexpected outbreak of ants in the kitchen that started the morning before we left, and with our inquisitive Shepherd chewing up her sunglasses. In addition, she fed our pet frogs twice weekly and watered our house plants. She sent us daily updates and pictures of the dogs. When we returned home, our dogs were happy to see us but calm and didn't appear stressed in the least. We look forward to hiring Kelly again to care for our dogs.”
“Susan is an absolute gem! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she treats every pet as if they were part of her own family. She took incredible care of our sweet 19-year-old Shorkie (Rosie) and our Siberian cat (Stella) showing so much love, patience, and attention to detail. Our senior pup has particular needs, and Susan handled everything with such gentle confidence and compassion—it gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful notes that made us feel connected even from afar. Our pets adored her, and it was clear they felt safe and loved in her care. Coming home to calm, happy animals was the best feeling ever. We couldn’t recommend Susan more highly—she truly goes above and beyond and has a heart of gold. If you’re looking for someone who treats your furry family members like her own, Susan is the one!”
“Emma did a great job watching my pup! I’m always a little nervous leaving him with someone new and trusting someone in my home, but she made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. She kept me updated, took great care of him, and left the place spotless. I’ll definitely be using her again for future sits!”
“Haley is an excellent communicator. We were updated the entire time with texts, pictures and videos. We’ll definitely hire Haley again to watch our two small dogs.”
“Debbie was great. She handled everything professionally, asked great questions, and even had some suggestions. Good communication leading up to and during our trip. We would use her again.”
“I absolutely loved having Heather take care of our precious babies. We have a doodle and a kitten and both were well taken care off. Heather spent two nights at our house with both pets. Our dog immediately took to her and was very comfortable. Our kitten is a kitten and needed some time which is normal. Heather followed our provided instructions and was kind enough to keep us updated and available when we checked in on the pets. Heather also left a follow-up note behind stating how both pets did and kept the house as it was. We are looking forward to building a long time relationship with Heather for as long as she is available.”
About: I have had a dog for 7 years, he’s a big 75 pound pitbull and was a rescue from Texas. He was around 1 when we got him and he was crazy. Within a month he was well trained. I’m also great with young puppies, and have lots of experience spending time with and playing with them. I’m a college football player, so there’s not gonna be any dogs that are gonna be too big for me to handle. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and am always able to adjust my behavior and attitude depending on the size and energy level of dog. I am usually available from 9am - 8pm every day except Sundays. I always schedule at least a day in advance so that I can schedule my day around appointments, and I’m always 5-10 minutes early to everything I always make sure my dog is fed, gets walked and enough exercise and enrichment including playing in the yard and tug of war in the house
“Rachel was great! We have a Saint Bernard and 2 cats and they loved her. She sent us photos while we on vacation and gave us regular updates. This was the first time we have left our pets with anyone, and Rachel was very respectful of our pets and our space. We were very apprehensive about hiring a random person to care for our pets, but the second we met Rachel we were put at ease. Rachel asked us questions about the care of our pets that we hadn't thought about, which gave us the confidence that she knows what she doing. She is amazing and we will definitely rebook with her.”
“We reached out to Lucinda for a very last minute request and she was able to graciously accommodate us. She was wonderful to work with and sent photos and updates that made it known our fur babies were very well cared for. We would absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend her!”
About: I'm a life-long animal lover with an honest nature that animals immediately love! I promise to care for your beloved animal just like you would if you were home. I'm an artist with a degree in Graphic Design and work as an accounting assistant for a living. Because I mostly work from home, I have lots of flexible time to be present and keep your pets company. I'm happy to be a hands-on snuggler, or a 'just-be-near-me-but-don't-touch-me' companion. My easy going nature never goes unnoticed when it comes to new furry friends, and they know I can be trusted. My wife and I have 2 adopted kitty brothers, The King Beast and PrettyBoy Prince Flash. We love veing cat Moms and would also love to be 'Pet Aunties'. I'm very lucky to be able to keep a flexible schedule. I work from home 3 days a week and choose what time I go into the office. During drop-in vsisits, I know how important is is to entering quickly and secure the door to prevent any escape artists from fleeing. I also like to announce myself to the animals so they know who is coming in.
“A pet sitting angel! I was freaking out because of a last minute cancellation from another sitter, but Alex came to my rescue and took over the booking. Turns out that the other sitter cancelling was the best thing that could have happened because Alex is everything I could ever want from a sitter. They were incredibly responsive to my messages, they gave frequent updates throughout the day complete with photos, they administered medication to both my cats, they went above and beyond to even clean up the place while I was away…but most importantly, my boys seemed to absolutely adore them! Absolutely a 10/10 ✨”
“Dustin was great with our cats while we were away. We were gone for 11 days and nervous about leaving our cats. Dustin proved to be a very reliable pet and house sitter. We had a handful of items pop up while we were away. Dustin was quick to communicate and act on some special requests for us. He was responsive to our messages, sent photos everyday, and cared for our boys beyond our expectations for a house sitter. We’ll definitely be using Dustin again in the future!”
“Matt was amazing with my pack and I would book him again in a heartbeat. We rescued my dog from an abusive household and he still can be very nervous around new people. Matt was amazing with him, he was in great hands and I was quickly no longer nervous about leaving my little guy. He was very communicative and my house was spotless when we came home. I would highly recommend Matt for your pet sitting needs!”
“Malissa is amazing! She showed up to our meet-and-greet beforehand with an iPad to take copious notes. It was amazing! It’s clear she really cares and takes her job seriously. And our dog loved her and all the love and attention she gives (especially the evening scritches!).”
About: I had an opportunity to get to know and build relationships with several of the doggy regulars (and their parents) who frequented the coffee shop I worked at for several years! I feel lucky to be the one a handful of them trusted enough with their animals while they were away. I understand that your pets are so much more than just your pets, they are your family! I am deeply passionate about caring for all animals and feel so lucky that I get to build lasting connections with people through caring for their fur babies! I will always do my absolute best to match the regular routines you have created together. & I promise to give the same level of care that your furry family member receives from you when you can’t be there! My goal is always to help you feel at ease while you’re away knowing they’re in good hands + being well taken care of 💖 I’m relocating from Utah to Oregon and will be available to meet you and your pets at the end of May. I am rebuilding a clientele there and I’m between day jobs meaning I will have lots of time and flexibility to tend to your animals 💕 Let me know what your routines normally look like so I can do my best to match them and offer your same level of care. 🐶🐱
“Jen did a fantastic job sitting our mini-poodle mix, Arlo. He's a rescue with pretty serious separation anxiety, and it often takes him a while to warm up to strangers. Jen immediately made a concerted effort to make Arlo comfortable and was incredibly respectful of his boundaries. It was obvious from the first second that she had experience with anxious dogs, and she did a great job of keeping him calm and making sure he felt safe. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Alyssa has been very patient and kind with our dog, shows her lots of love, and is very punctual and reliable. We got lots of updates during their time together and she really put our minds at ease. Thank you Alyssa!”

Laura got us out of a bind with a different sitter who cancelled a meet and greet three times. In a bind, we reached out to Laura and she quickly confirmed that she was available. We were not able to do a meet and greet but felt great with the communication back and forth throughout the stay. She left the place clean and our dog had been well snuggled.
Michelle was wonderful with our dog and cat while we were gone for 5 nights! It was so nice to get check-in messages and photos and know that our babies were getting great care while we weren’t able to be there. Our house was left spotless and we couldn’t be more appreciative!
Kathryn took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She provided great care, and I came home to a happy, well-loved cat. As an added bonus, Kathryn cleaned and organized my place before she left, which was such a pleasant surprise after traveling! It was wonderful to return home knowing my cat had been well cared for and that everything was neat and tidy. Thank you so much, Kathryn!
Taryn was absolutely incredible, and we truly cannot recommend her enough 🤍🐾 From the moment we met her, she was kind, thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cared so much about our girls. She kept us updated with tons of sweet photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. One of the sweetest parts for us was seeing how comfortable our Riley became with her. Riley can be slow to warm up to new people, so seeing her rolling over for belly rubs and fully relaxing with Taryn honestly brought so much joy to our hearts. It was so clear our girls felt safe, loved, and genuinely cared for with her. Taryn went above and beyond, handled everything with so much care, and was incredibly attentive and reassuring the entire time. We already shared her profile with one of our best friends and will absolutely continue recommending her to others because she is truly such a genuine, caring person. The girls adored her, and we cannot wait to book with her again 🤍🐶🐕🐾
This was our first time using Marisa. We appreciated her prompt response when we reached out. She was very personable, on time and asked good questions during our meet and greet. We have two dogs and two cats and they warmed up to her quickly. During her stay, she was very communicative and sent lots of photos, which was great. When we got home, the house was picked up and clean. She did a great job and we would definitely hire her again.
Rachel stayed at our home while we were traveling. She cared for our lively mini-Australian Shepherd and tended to a few additional tasks at the house. Everything was in great shape when we returned, and our dog was delightfully calm. I took that as a four-paws up from our dog!
Matthew was perfect! I had to travel for a work trip leaving early and coming home late. My pup has an injury and needed some extra TLC and someone who would be around most of the day. Matthew was reliable, punctual, communicative, and my dog was excited to see him and looked very happy and comfortable during the stay. I would definitely book him again for my next trip.
Chelsea was absolutely AMAZING! This was really my first time ever having a dog sitter watch my dog and she brought me so much comfort with her daily updates and letting me know how everything was going! I love receiving all the pictures while I was on my trip and would absolutely have her watch my pup again!
