“Our 14YO female heeler bonded immediately with Aarti and she was probably sad when we returned. I like Aarti because she returns texts and requests in a very timely manner. We got photos from her every day which helped to ease any anxiety we had about using a new dog sitter. Her background as a vet assistant also eased our minds with our dog's history of Cushings disease. We travel a fair amount and are looking to have Aarti care for our girl in the future. Five stars for sure.”


“Elliot took great care of our babies and our home. They sent lots of updates and cute pictures 🥰 We felt at ease the second we met Elliot. They took notes and asked really thoughtful questions. We have four pets, including a very mischievous puppy, and Elliot handled them like a pro. They even offered to fix our twinkle lights that fell during a storm. Elliot was so kind and sweet to our girls, we will 100% book again! Thank you so much, Elliot!”


About: Dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented—I take time to understand your dog’s unique needs to ensure they feel secure and loved while you’re gone. There’s nothing better than to come home to a happy, tail wagging dog. I am currently a grad student at the University of New Mexico. Pet sitting is something I look forward to each week to take my mind off of all my studies. I enjoy spending time with pets to relieve their stress as well as mine. I take pride in providing respectful, attentive care in your home. Keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their routine, giving them affection, exercise, and calm companionship. I treat every home with the same care I would my own, ensuring everything is clean, secure, and just as you left it.

“Thank you so much! Hossanna cared for our dog and cat while we were away for a week. We were so happy to receive photos and they were so well-cared-for!”


“Max was great with our dog! He was attentive to detail and asked questions to make sure our dog was being well taken care of. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”


“Finding a new dog sitter is HARD. It is always nerve wracking leaving your babies and your house in someone else’s hands. No need to worry with Brooke. She’s awesome. My dogs loved her and she followed all of the instructions that we asked of her. She even went above and beyond and did things we didn’t ask of her. I never felt like I had to worry. She updated me with photos everyday. She even offered to go check on the dogs again if our flight was delayed. We had a very positive experience and would not hesitate to have her again. Thanks Brooke!”


“Jeff stayed with my two dogs at my house while I was out of town. He took excellent care of my pups, sending regular updates and photos to let me know they were doing ok. Appreciated all the communication before and during the booking.”


“Candace watched our fur babies while we were on a trip she did a amazing job with them. They loved being around here, it was nice knowing they were in good hands and that we didn’t have to worry about them. We will definitely be using her again.”



“Patricia took great care of our dogs - she sent lots of pics. She went above and beyond watching our house., including feeding our parakeet, guppies and keeping clean water for our snake. She even filled the birdbath without being asked! We highly recommend and hope to hire her again in the future’”


About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for 3+ years and have loved every minute—tail wags, belly rubs, zoomies, and all! I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and breeds, from bouncy puppies to mellow seniors, and I’m totally comfortable with multiple dogs at once. Whether we’re hanging out at your place or mine, I make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’m down for whatever—park adventures, yard play, chill time, or snuggles on the couch. I’ve got some flexibility in my schedule too, so I can work around your pet’s routine. Your dog’s happiness is always my priority! I work full time, but only three days a week, and I attend school part-time online—so I still have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend care, and can accommodate a variety of schedules. Whether you need drop-ins, overnights, or extended stays, I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine. With my online classes and open days, I’m able to provide lots of love, attention, and playtime throughout the week! I’m all about creating a fun, safe, and cozy space where your pup can feel totally at ease! At my place, there are comfy dog beds for napping, toys for playtime, and plenty of love to go around. Whether your dog is a cuddle bug or a ball-chasing pro, I make sure they’re happy and cared for like family. I stick to their routine, follow your instructions closely, and always keep their safety and comfort top of mind. Whether we’re hanging out at your home or mine, your pup will be in good hands and good vibes!

“Samantha was super sweet to our two older dogs, giving them cuddles and special food, and going way above and beyond both in terms of kindness and punctuality. We would not hesitate to reach out to her again...as a matter of fact, we already HAVE ❤️ 🐾”



“Cristina always does a great job watching our dogs and cat and they love the time they spend with her. She does a good job communicating with us about both the pets and whatever happens to come up at home, which we really appreciate.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12, both my own and family members’. In more recent years, I’ve expanded to helping out anyone who needs it, whether they need me to stay for a week or just pop in for a quick break outside. I’m currently out of work, so aside from a couple weekend trips out of state, I’m completely free until classes start at the end of August! I’ll always keep a close eye on pets when let outside, I can easily crate them if applicable, I’ll always be sure they have plenty of water and are fed on time, and I’ll gladly walk and play with them anytime!

“Regan took great care of our fur babies and communicated very well. I really appreciated her straight forward and honest communication. Thank you so much for helping us out in a pinch!”


“Our dog and cat loved Meredith, and we did too. She was everything we were looking for in a pet and housesitter. Meredith had great communication skills, responding instantly to our texts and providing exactly the info requested. Plus, she provided daily videos of our pets that showed how safe and relaxed they felt with her. She even tracked our flight home online to make sure we'd landed safely and assured us she would stay late if we were delayed. She left the house spotless. Knowing Meredith is a Registered Vet Tech only added to the peace of mind we felt leaving our fur babies in her care. We will absolutely book with her again.”


About: I've been a pet ownee since the age of ten. (Seems like they own us rather than the other way around :-) I've had some great companions over the years including our current dog: Norah Bones. She's 13 and may be the happiest dog on the planet. She's at least in the top ten. There's usually been a cat or two in my house connected to my wife, kids or roommates that I care for as well. Friends have asked me to care, board and travel with their pets more often now that I'm semi-retired. And it seems I'm a pet-whisperer of sorts according to friends. Their pets have always bonded with me sooner than most people they know. I'm traveling often and around the country more now. Denver in July. May be in your area soon. My only concern is when I return home and my dog, Norah wants to know all about the new scents and who I've been seeing. Happy to work out details for your pet's care as needed. Morning and evening walks/outdoor pee breaks would be standard. I'm a retired math/science teacher and can learn any special care needs your pet requires. Also have friends in Atlanta that are well trained in pet care and vet tech services.

About: I have loved animals, especially dogs, since I was a toddler. Over the years I have been lucky enough to have been "owned" by several wonderful dogs and cats, and have had friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets while they have been out of town. I have a full time job, but I have always loved animals and I am excited to work with owners and provide care for their pets while they are away! Right now I am only offering pet sitting and house sitting services in the pet owners home. I'll be happy to accommodate your pet in whatever way I can while you are away.

“A couple of words describe Joel and his care of my girl, above and beyond. He did fantastic job of playing and spending with her and even stayed late to help her through a thunderstorm. I have had not better sitter fro my best friend.”


About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10 years old. In all my jobs babysitting and nannying as a teenager, taking care of the pets was always my favorite! I have a knack for getting to know animals in their own settings and getting to know their unique personalities. I am pet lover back in town with an open and flexible schedule. As much as I wish I could take care of a pet of my own, I unfortunately don’t have to time or space to commit full time care to a furry friend. This is why I’d love to help pet owners when they’re in a tight spot or need short term care while on vacations and such. I live in a one-story home with lots of outdoor space to run and play with a close eye from myself of course. I can also crate pets easily if necessary and love to be outdoors with pets as much as possible.

They’re all young and full of energy, and she gives them all the attention, playtime, and care they need. She walks them, takes them to the park, bathes them, brushes them, you name it! What really sets Dana apart is how much she genuinely cares. She’s taken the time to truly get to know each of my dogs (and me!), and it shows in how happy and comfortable they are with her. She’s always loving, patient, and goes the extra mile to make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re with her, and I 100% recommend Dana to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and totally devoted to your furry family.”
