“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. She was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout our time away, which gave us real peace of mind. We loved receiving daily photos and updates, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. She also left our home clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. We’re very grateful for her care and would happily book with her again.”
“Carly did a great job watching our dog, Phoebe - she sent us lots of sweet photos, updates, left our house clean and extended an extra night stay on short notice. We will definitely be hiring Carly again!”
About: I have owned pets with my family since I was a baby, and I have been volunteering with animal rescues since the age of 14! (to care for and clean up after cats/dogs.) I also own 14 fish tanks, and 2 beautiful kitties. All very well loved animals. I am currently working part time job during school. I am a college student but only have classes about 3 days a week. I am able to work best after school/ work hours, or on off days! Contact me and we can work something out:) I am an experienced pet owner, and I am happy to provide all the basics like, cleaning cages/litter boxes, food/water bowls, refreshing water and feeding, taking on walks, and playing with the your pet, and of COURSE providing lots of love and attention😸!
“Molly is a AMAZING. Stranded at the airport due to the weather and flight cancellations she was able to stay extra days. So helpful and flexible. Lots of great pictures/updates of the dogs relaxing in their environment at home. We have been booking with Molly since 2020 and absolutely recommend her. She is trustworthy and takes exceptional care of our pets and home.”
“McKenna was the best house sitter we’ve ever had! She truly went above and beyond in care of our German Shepherd and our home! We highly recommend and hope she is available for us in the future.”
“Shennan was very responsive and attentive! She loved my two doggies and kept them company. Shennan was very respectful of my space and kept things tidy. Watson and Patty loved her!”
“Sarah was wonderful! She was communicative, offered to do a pre-sit visit to meet my dog and tour the home. I received photos, daily updates, and I never once felt worried while I was away. If you’re looking for a professional, tidy, pet-loving sitter, she’s IT! We hope to have her back soon.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies! I am so grateful for your attention to detail, thorough communication and picture updates! Highly recommend Jeannie and will rebook ❤️”
About: I grew up in a household where my mom always took care of dogs, I’ve been helping her for a year and I’m ready to start providing my own services. I’m currently a senior in high school and I’m mostly available during weekends at any time. Sometimes I’m available on weekday afternoons. I pay attention to details, I’m very careful and I will follow all the directions to give your pets a safe and fun time.
“Dana was great. She sent regular updates and photos of my dogs. She took good care of them, including the medicine that they required while she was sitting with them. Highly recommend her.”
About: I have petsat for family and friends for the past 4 years. I have experience with senior pets and taking care of medication and exercise, managed multiple dogs while house sitting for multiple weeks, and taken up requests from families I have not met the day before and petsit late night for multiple pets with different needs. I am currently working freelance and on my own schedule so I am available almost all days of the week since I adjust my own hours. I have no problem with taking pets on walks or trips to get their energy out. I have experience with crates, and helping less mobile dogs when needed.
“Rosemary is so kind and attentive, she took excellent care of our pup! She was sensitive to our dog’s reactivity and spent lots of time with him while we were away. Our dog was calm and happy on our return home and it was clear that Rosemary took great care of him. We will definitely book with Rosemary again in the future!”
“AMAZING sitter! We had Jenny watch our pets for a week while we were out on vacation. I left care instructions and she followed them to the teeth! One of our dogs got sick and Jenny took the steps to make sure both her and the house were taken care of. Would hire her again for sure!”
“Veronica did a fantastic job taking care of my dog! She was professional, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. She provided regular updates and photos.I couldn’t have asked for better care—thank you, Veronica!”
“Lindsey was a wonderful companion for our very particular dog Kona. Her calm demeanor is fantastic! Lindsey took great care of both Kona and our house. I highly recommend her services.”
“We booked Joshua pretty last minute to house/dog sit for us over Christmas week, and we could not have asked for a better experience. He took exceptional care of our dog, Haru... sending tons of photos and updates throughout the day, every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Haru was truly loved and well cared for. On top of that, we came home to a spotless house. He vacuumed, stripped the bed, and cleaned the counters -- such a thoughtful and appreciated touch after traveling. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your dog (and your home) with care, attention, and kindness.”

I would highly recommend Jackie to care for your fur babies. She is caring, detail oriented, and has great communication. While I was out of town, she took care of my two pups and ancient cat like they were her own - did all the feedings, pottying, litter box cleaning, etc. I feel comfortable leaving them in her care and I’m so thankful to have found such a wonderful sitter.
Sarah was wonderful! She was communicative, offered to do a pre-sit visit to meet my dog and tour the home. I received photos, daily updates, and I never once felt worried while I was away. If you’re looking for a professional, tidy, pet-loving sitter, she’s IT! We hope to have her back soon.
Auston and Kaitlyn our lifesavers. They were able to take care of our lovely cats and dogs complete with a lot of special care needed for a couple of our four legged friends. They were able to juggle our needs with everything going on in their life and we were just blessed to find them. I would highly recommend them for your daily pet care or overnight.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Molly did an amazing job taking care of our sweet Maya and our two cats while we were away. She sent us pictures and updates every day, which gave us great peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for they were. Molly took Maya on several long walks and gave all of our pets plenty of attention, love, and care. It was clear from the photos and updates that our pets absolutely adored her, and when we returned home they were relaxed, happy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Jessica was so helpful in getting the care my pup needed while we were away! She took her to the vet and ER on the first day of care and stayed with her on our behalf. ( she started showing symptoms of illness the night before her stay.) Jessica also made sure to send lots of pictures of our other pups and keep us informed on how things were going. The girls were happy to have her stay with them! We are so grateful for Jessica’s attentiveness to our girls!
Miranda is the BEST! I used her for in home care to give my pup a little bit more of a stable environment while I was on some travel for work. She gave him the best care and he was clearly very happy during her stay. Although I had a hectic schedule, she kept me super informed, and I would happily have her back again. Huge thanks and highly recommend!
Adriana has always taken the best care of our two dogs Luna and Scout. We especially appreciate her thoroughness and attention to detail regarding the care they need. Adriana is generous, always caring, and frequently spoils our dogs with new toys and treats. Our dogs always have a big smile on their face when Adriana cares for them (:
Juan did a great job house sitting and taking care of our three cats while we were away on a long trip! We came home and the house was in great shape, everything we’d asked him to look after was taken care of, and our girls were happy and healthy. They also seemed way more chill than they usually are when we go away, so they must have enjoyed his company!
Angelica took great care of our pups! She has large dogs of her own so did a great job managing “large dogs” personalities. She sent plenty of updates and pics so we knew how they were doing at all times. She was responsive in communication and right on time. I would highly recommend her.
