Alison did great with our dog Lola! She took her on long walks, sent us pictures throughout the day, and we even came home to a clean house, which was much appreciated! Would definitely recommend Alison to watch over your pets

Kaitlyn took exceptional care of our special-needs Ragdoll while we were away. Our cat has asthma and requires multiple medications, including a nebulizer, an inhaler, and pills. Kaitlyn went above and beyond our expectations, ensuring he received all his treatments with care and patience. Not only is she extremely reliable and professional, but she also took great care of our home. When our kitty had a litter box accident and needed a bath, she handled it without hesitation—something not every pet sitter would be willing to do! On top of that, she spent more time with him than we even asked, knowing that he doesn’t like to be alone. That extra care and attention meant so much to us. We returned home to a well-cared-for cat and a house that was just as we left it. We highly recommend Kaitlyn to anyone looking for a compassionate, professional, and dependable pet sitter.

Samantha took great care of Jax. I got lots of updates and pictures and confirmations that she was putting in the extra effort for his care. The house was clean and his box was unkept when i got home. He warmed up to her slowly which means she took it at his pace which i greatly appreciate. It means she knows how shy cats can be. Thank you so much and Jax and i Greatly appreciate all the extra efforts. Means so much when I’m away! My old man is almost 19 Now and his care is imprornat to me.

About: I've had plenty of experiences with dogs throughout my life. I've had animals since I was born and forever plan on having pets; They take care of me as much as I take care of them. I am currently available for bookings and my schedule is almost completely open. As I do not got to school at the moment nor have a job. Environment I will NOT be able to watch pets at my house due to space and my pets. All bookings are for in-house sitting (your house). Safety I'm about safety first, as I want your pets to be comfortable with me in their territory (your home) and you as well. I am very good with dogs, I understand that dogs and cats both can get anxiety, have eating disorders, breathing problems, etc. and have been able to properly adjust my care for these situations. I must disclose I am NOT a professional, I don't have any certifications other than a high school diploma. However, I have worked at a dog daycare's before where I received training, and, as I've said before, I have had plenty of personal experience with caring for dogs. Your pets If your dog is aggressive whether it's with toys, food, other dogs, cats, etc. PLEASE let me know before you schedule something with me. I don't have any problems with these dogs, however I would need to know beforehand so I can look out for it. I WILL NOT take any dog that has had incident of biteing aggressively. Teething, nibbling, play biteing, etc. are completely different and normal. I want your baby or babies to be safe just as much as myself. Allergies and medication I understand that some dogs/cats need to take medication and/or have allergies. This is also something to let me know before I arrive or when I get there. If you don't know about your dogs allergies beforehand and a incident occurs I understand, but you should be aware that in the event if something happens I will need to take them to their vet as quickly as possible. In this event I would also being giving you a call ASAP, as I understand it is my responsibility to keep your pets safe, as well as myself, I will always be giving 100% and do the best I can. About me I'm Twenty One years old, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE animals. I have my own dog that has been with me since I was in second grade, he is a Yorkshire terrier mix and a rescue and he's full of love. I also have a cat I've had her for 4 years, she was 4 weeks old when we got her, she is also a rescue and the love of my life and best friend. I'm very charismatic, as well as flexible and hard-working; my #1 priority is giving you and your dog(s) the best experience possible :)

About: I have cared for dogs for over 25 years. I have cared for and trained all ages, including elderly dogs that requires daily medicine. We have 3 dogs ourselves, which keeps us busy with potty breaks, regular walks, and family time. We also have a blind dog who needs some additional care and support, but enjoys the same high quality life as her sisters. I am a high school teacher, from Manhattan Kansas, visiting my mom in the summer break. This is a good fit for my summer break. I am looking forward to a relaxing schedule (since teaching can have a strict schedule) and spending time with some furry friends. I will care for other peoples pets the same as I would my own, with care, love and compassion. I would get the inside scoop on the animals from the owner, to learn the ropes for the unique animal and setting, and then I would ensure the pet is socialized and cared for in a respectful and professional manner.

About: I have more than 30 years of experience. I started dog-sitting for friends and family and through private referrals. I have cared for dogs of all ages. I will keep you updated with photos and messages. And for additional peace of mind, I have pet-sitter insurance (certificate available upon request). Doggy socializing (the dog park, Starbucks, restaurant patios, doggy play dates with their friends or your fur baby's other favorite hangout spot) are included during overnight stays with dog parents' permission of course. I work from home which allows me to give your fur babies the love and attention that you would want for them and that they deserve. My aim is to provide next level service and to help lessen the stress of being away from your fur baby. All I need is a place to crash (I don't mind sharing the bed with your dogs), the Wi-Fi password, and your doggos to hang out with. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, relaxed, doted on and well looked after while you’re away. Rest assured, during overnight bookings, your pets will be the only ones that I take care of. Meaning, I won't book any drop-ins or walks with other clients.

David was absolutely amazing for us! He was able to accommodate us last minute for our wedding, which meant so much during such a busy and special time. From the moment he arrived, he bonded so quickly with all three of our dogs — it was clear they felt comfortable and happy with him right away. He kept us updated throughout the night and sent the sweetest pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We were able to fully enjoy our wedding without worrying for a second. Huge thumbs up! He was truly awesome, and we are so grateful for him! 🐾💛

About: Hi! I'm Faith, and I offer loving, dependable pet sitting for dogs and other pets. With 10 years of experience caring for and walking animals, I focus on comfort, safety, and keeping routines consistent—so your pet feels calm, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm attentive, responsible, and always make sure you're kept updated during each visit. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I am not currently working and have a flexible schedule. My plan is to start veterinary assistant program which allows me to continue learning about animal health and care while remaining available for pet sitting. I have a secured fenced yard and care for my senior cat, who requires specialized food and subcutaneous fluids twice weekly. Managing his medical needs has given me valuable experience with attentive, consistent care and reinforced the importance of patience, observation, and following detailed instructions. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is for owners to feel confident their pets are in capable hands.

About: With 20+ years of dog ownership, I offer reliable, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I create a calm, structured environment where your pet will feel at home. I work full-time Monday–Friday, but I’m remote on Fridays, which makes drop-offs easy that day. I’m available for care Friday through Sunday, with flexible pickup anytime Sunday. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home where pets are always supervised and treated like family. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, and any specific instructions. My home is pet-friendly, and I make sure all dogs feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog for companionship if your pup enjoys other dogs.

Donna and Mike were the answer to our prayers for our senior Chihuahua Capri. They were both loving and kind while watching her and sent updates each day, sometimes multiple times a day! Our Capri has health challenges and requires medicine throughout the day as well as help with feeding and mobility since she has a hard time seeing with cataracts. They were wonderful from drop-off to pick-up and gave Capri lots of reassurance and cuddle time. We would highly recommend using them as sitters for your fur babies. We will definitely book them again!

We have had Kaitlyn watch our very aloof Rhodesian Ridgeback and two cats twice now and she has been amazing with them. Our dog is slow to warm up and she handled her with such love and was able to make friends with her by the end of the stay. She was very capable with waking our 95lb dog as well. The cats all loved her too! One of our cats is very skittish and even she loved Kaitlyn. Our home was well cared for as well. She communicated any issues (our house is old lol and there’s always something) and gave us pet updates. I would highly recommend hiring Kaitlyn.
