“Kimberly was incredibly responsible and communicative. Emmy (my siamese mutt) is an excellent judge of character and when I arrived home she was in excellent spirits, having obviously received a tremendous amount of attention and love. I will absolutely be working with Kimberly again, and I would encourage you to do the same -- she's terrific!”


“CJ did an excellent job with our two Chihuahua mixes. CJ showed a genuine love for animals and formed a great bond with our dogs (one of whom is fairly mistrustful). I received regular updates, photos, and check-ins, which made me feel my doggos were getting the best care possible. I would highly recommend CJ!”


“Elissa was amazing! Stella was happy and well cared for when I got home! Elissa carefully followed all of my instructions for Stella and the house! She communicated with me and sent pictures daily. I do not trust many people to take care of Stella, but with Elissa caring for her my mind was at ease! I will absolutely have Elissa care for Stella again!”



“Aimee helped us with our 3 month old golden retriever puppy today and she was fantastic! He is very bitey at this age and fusses a lot and won't sleep easily, but Aimee was very patient with him. She made sure he is well taken care of before she left even though it was past our agreed time. I would hire Aimee again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! :)”


“Meiling did an excellent job caring for our dog in our home while we were away. When we returned, Meatball was relaxed and happy. While we were away, Meiling was very communicative and shared cute photos of Meatball. We will definitely ask Meiling to house sit for Meatball again!”


“Jeanette was amazing. Jake was being difficult and wouldn’t come in but Jeannette wouldn’t give up and go to bed till she finally got him in at 3AM. I felt bad and told her to go to bed, but she wouldn’t until he was in. He is usually good for her and comes in before dark,, but not this time.”


“Austin did an amazing job watching our dog Max! Max can be anxious for us to be gone, and Austin did a great job getting to know him, making sure he was comfortable, and sharing updates with us. Will definitely reach out to him again when we travel again.”


“Silvana was a perfect sitter for our two doggies. She is conscientious, caring, and devoted to her charges. She spent a good deal of time with the dogs on walks and playing in the park. She also seems to have instilled some discipline we had not done. Silvana sent is photos daily with Updates on how the dogs were doing. We will absolutely entrust our doggies to her again.”



About: I am currently helping my aunt with her 3 dogs that need daily walks and I always make sure I can give each half hour minimum. I help out whenever I can to fed them and give them water. I have a friend who has an elderly dog who I have occasionally walked and given helped given medication. I love going outside on walks that I could go for long periods of time. I have a one job which usually around 30 hours mostly open in the morning. It’s open schedule a lot of times I will have at least 2 days completely free. Depending on the job I can adjust and make the free time around my working hours. I have whole box of toys for my lovely kitten and she has her litter box in the bathroom. I have given her a whole section including a trash can. She has a cat tree and little mat with her own water and food bowl. I make sure she can go anywhere and I will occasionally walk her outside with a harness to give her some more freedom in safe way.

“Ciara was terrific caring for our home, dog, two cats and backyard chickens. She went above and beyond keeping us up to date on how they were doing and she took our dog to the park for exercise. We are grateful for the great care she gave our household.”


About: I’ve had all different kinds of pets ranging from turtles, bunnies, chickens, and dogs since I was 5 years old. My last dog was a small dog and I’ve sat big dogs in the past. I’m currently on summer break from my university and don’t have a part time or full time job so I’ll have lots of time to take care of any pups! My house is fenced, and I have a little goldfish pond I’m creating netting over top of. My chickens are in a contained area without outside access and I currently don’t have any other pets inside of my home, so the dog could be crated or left to roam around depending on whatever is preferred.

“Kirsten was great! She cared for my cat for the weekend and left the house spotless. She’s very considerate and kind and it shows through her love for animals. Looking forward to booking her again in the future!”


About: I take care of lots of pets in my field of work and pet wellness is my passion. I’ve taken care of pets of my friends and family as well. I’m ready to care for your pet and grow my knowledge of pet care at the same time. I’m a full time student working part time. Although I’m busy most mornings due to school and work, I’m almost always available during the afternoon, especially evenings and nights! On weekends I’m available all day and night! Contact me and I’ll let you know what times I’m available specifically and we can work on a schedule that works for both of us! Safety is an important part of pet care. While I care for your pet, it’s important to me that I’m knowledgeable on your pet’s personal medications, eating and drinking habits, as well as playfulness and exercise habits. I’ll work closely with you and your pet to care for them in the best way possible!

“Ahmyah was a wonderful dog sitter for Max. She took care of him lovingly and the house while we were away. We could tell Max was having a great time as she shared pictures of him a long the way. Ahmyah is very responsible and we will definitely use her again. Highly recommend.”


“Cora is great! Super responsive and attentive. We never have to worry if our pup is taken care of when we are out of town which is such a relief! This was our second time working with her, and we would 100% recommend her!”


About: I grew up surrounded by animals and I have had dogs and cats as pets all my life. I genuily care for them, for their hapiness and well being. I respect their boudaries and I am mindful for their heatlh. I never skip playtime (including for cats, if they want to, of course), and part of my reward is receiving that wigly-tail and belly-up combo, and I think a purr is the best sound in the world. I am responsible, always on time, and have years of experience sitting pets, including senior dogs. I could do night care, weekends and even some hours during weekdays if close to my location. Really depends on each specific situation, but I am very flexible. I have a fenced area with over 400 sqft for playtime. My neighborhood is very dog friendly and safe, with an off leash park close by if desired. I have also taken dogs in hikes nearby on weekends for longer exercise time.

“Ella was so sweet and wonderful with our boys. So thankful she was available last minute when we had an emergency flight change and she was adaptable and flexible in getting to our boys! She provided great updates and communication and we would love to have her back”


“Susannah is amazing! Super attentive, communicative, and went above and beyond. She really understood my pets’ needs and made sure everyone was happy and cared for. Highly recommend!”
