“Jocelyn is the dog whisperer … one of our dogs is skittish around strangers but she quickly became trusted and loved by both dogs. Great with my birdies too! Really appreciated the photo updates she sends. Can’t wait to use her again in a couple weeks!!!”

“Paula is an excellent dog and housesitter. She consistently kept us up to date with comments and pitures. We never worried about anything back home while we were away.”

“Ada house sat my dog who was both diabetic and recovering from bronchitis which required shots and other medications twice a day. She not only cared for MMO’s medical needs but provided emotional support for him in my absence. She sent pictures and conducted a River video chat with me to ensure not only Momo’s emotional support but for mine as well. I felt confident my beloved pet was in good hands.”

“Kiara went above and beyond caring for our two 14 year old shih tzus. She prepared their food, gave them their medicine, and gave them plenty of attention. She sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated the whole time. When one of our dogs had some tummy issues, she let us know right away, and kept a close eye on Bella. Before she left, she even sanitized everything, the house was as clean as I left it. We will definitely ask her to dog sit again!”

“Andrea did a great job with house sitting our puppy. We were nervous about leaving him for our first time but Andrea was great. Her communication was on point and gave us multiple updates throughout her stay. Highly recommend!”

“Erica is just wonderful with our two fur babies. She keeps us updated with pictures and comments. She makes sure they get exercise and mental stimulation. We could not ask for a better dog sitter!”

“Exceeded expectations! Communication was consistent and thoughtful, with lots of pictures and updates that gave me peace of mind. I came home to a very happy pup, which says it all. I would absolutely book again!”

“Maddie was absolutely amazing! Both our dogs, Raider and Sabre, took to her quickly and loved having her stay with them. She was incredibly responsible, very attentive to their needs, responsive to our messages, and sent us pictures and updates often! We have no doubt our boys had a great time! She even held Raider when he was afraid and shaking during a thunderstorm! She definitely put our minds at ease as well. We will absolutely be using her again!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was young while I was babysitting or when my neighbors were gone for the week. My official pet-sitting experience has been about 3 years. I had the responsibility of walking and playing with dogs, and if they had a cat I would make sure they get the love they need while their owner was out of town. I'm currently a college student, so I have classes during the day. My longest days are Tuesday-Thursday, but I'm done by the early afternoon. I have the availability to stop by for bathroom breaks. My schedule is very flexible besides my classes, so I can easily work with what you need. I can't have any additional pets in my home (due to living in an apartment), but I can come to your house when you need me. If you feel comfortable with it, I have done overnight stays to keep the pets company during the night. I love going on walks in the morning and late afternoon with the dogs I have pet-sat.

“Carolyn was wonderful. She took good care of Charlie and was careful to follow instructions including administering medicine and following physical therapy instructions. She left the house very clean and orderly. We would love to use her again.”

“Best house and dog sitter yet! Plenty of updates, communication, photos and videos. Jordan took great care of Jet, giving him plenty of activity and affection, and our home as well. Will absolutely work with her again.”


About: Growing up my family always had at least one or more pets of various breeds so I have 20+ years of experience around animals. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, lizards, rabbits, goats, and hedgehogs. Personally, my husband & I have 2 dogs currently, 9 & 10 years old, one having epilepsy & is dependent on medication. I have helped raise/care for/train puppies, kittens, baby rabbits, & baby goats. The only pet I'm not comfortable with is snakes, my little sister has one but I only look at it from 3ft away in its enclosure, haha. I work part time Tu/W/Th 8A - 5P, I do not mind caring for pets those days, however I will be gone all day. Otherwise, I'm available for your pets needs! My personal routine with my pets: My husband helps me care for our pets daily but his schedule is a bit different than mine, so our dogs are let out at least within 4-6 hours those days. Otherwise, we let them out every 2-4 depending on their needs (which they have been trained to lets us know if they need to go sooner). Our medical dog is on a 12 hr medication schedule. I'd prefer to care in my clients home due to one of my dogs having a reactive past, it was quite a transition when we inherited our other dog. If you have a specific routine, I'm ready to follow it to the T! I'm comfortable walking dogs on leash, hanging out/playing with them in a fenced yard, or just chilling inside. As mentioned, I have experience with medically dependent pets. I have an escape artist, so I'm always vigilant of their proximity to me and prepared to run/chase in the event something happens. I can stay at the home with the pets or I can visit throughout the day!
About: What sets me apart is how dependable, attentive, and genuinely invested I am in the pets I care for. I do not just “watch” animals. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while keeping their routines consistent. I’m very patient and calm, which helps me adapt to different temperaments, whether that’s a high-energy puppy or a more laid-back senior pet. I’ll keep you updated with check-ins and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. i am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule and often have free time on weekends and in the mornings to play and take care of the animals. I care for clients' pets as if they were my own, with care, compassion, and energy. taking care of the pets with the care they deserve.

Allison is awesome. The fist time she came over I was showing her around the house and my shy dog walked right over to her and sat down next to her. The last time she stayed at the house my flight was canceled and I had to fly out the next day. I was letting her know what was happening and she was the one that asked if I needed her to stay another night. My dogs love her and she loves them. And the house is always in good order upon my return.
Alison was so wonderful taking care of Lilly, I would absolutely have her back again!! She was so attentive and caring the whole time I was away, ensuring Lilly got plenty of walks, treats & love and she shared pictures frequently. She is such a kind & caring person. Thank you so much Alison!😊❤️

Ada was amazing with our German shepherd for the week! It was our first time leaving her but Ada put our minds at ease. The communication was great, Oakley was happy in all the pics and the house was so clean we couldn’t even tell she was there. Highly recommend!

Hallie did a great job house sitting with our 2 pups during a recent long weekend. She was a good communicator and sent daily updates/pictures of the dogs. She was respectful of our home and followed all instructions about feeding and walking. Everything was in great shape when we returned.
