“Thank you Margaret - Larry is still talking about the great night he had with you! Margaret is a dog whisper. Larry learn some new tricks and was well taken care of. She is highly recommended!”


“Tommy was amazing and exceeded all expectations! Our pups were very happy and cared for when returned and Tommy sent many updates with pictures while we were away. I would highly recommend and am excited to work with Tommy again!”


“Kristi was amazing with our crew !! She knew we had just taken in our Gracie as a rescue pug and gave her all the extra love and snuggles that she needed to feel safe and loved ....she spent lots of extra time in our home to ensure they didn't feel our absence even working remotely at our place which was great for our pugs/cats. She kept us informed of daily events and sent lots of snuggle snaps which made us feel better. Kristi even left us homemade biscotti for our return home. I can say with full confidence that Kristi is motivated by love of animals and helping others...we will most certainly hire her back to our home for all our Rover needs :)”

About: I have over 10 plus years caring for animals. I have experience with small or medium dogs and especially cats. Administering medications, walking, feeding, playtime and everything in between! Experience pet sitting for friends and family and experience caring for a movement impaired dog and diabetic cat. Im currently a Mechanic/Welder as a full time job Monday through Friday for a local company in Jamesville. Available anytime on weekends and limited availability on weekdays after 3:30 PM. I treat everyone’s pets and home as I would my own. Drug free, non smoker and very respectful. The safety of your property and pets is my top priority. Developing trusting relationships with clients and delivering the service you expect is my goal.

About: Hello Friends! You know you're a good person when dogs & kids both like you- and that's me! I am home during the day so I have wide open availability. Plus, I have my own dog, Vaida (2 years old GSD, trained) so there is someone here your dog can play with. My backyard is pretty big and has a fence too. I love taking my dog on long walks or hikes, or playing at the dog park at Ellison Park. Being a dog mom myself, I will 100% respect any special needs or restrictions that you have with your dog. No furniture? That's okay with me! A special kind of food for lunch? Sure thing! We've got plenty of tennis balls, stuffed animals, tug toys and even an extra doggy bed too :)

“Darian was amazing, all we could hope for and more in a pet/house sitter! She was a somewhat last minute find but she was great to work with and we are so glad we found her! We would totally book her again as it’s clear she took great care of our boys and was a great communicator! Always appreciate that.”


About: I have two cats myself, and have been the de facto dog sitter of my family for years. I've been watching dogs of all sizes for years, and am confident in my ability to keep up with whatever activity level they need. I'm currently in between jobs, and my work is generally remote anyway, so my schedule is always pretty flexible. Happy to work with your (and your pet's) schedule! I'll treat your home like my own and your pets like my own family. As someone who misses my pets the second they leave my sight, I'm big on sending photo and video updates whenever I can.

About: I first dog sat at 14 years old for a parent’s coworker. My love of dogs has only grown since! I’m happy to get to know their individual needs and stick to their routine. It’s a joy to see them happy! I just work a few hours a week virtually, so I have full availability for your animals! I can easily fit into any schedule or routine. I’m used to taking care of lots of kinds of pets with all temperaments and even physical disability. I know the best way to establish trust with them and you is to maintain their usual routines and go above and beyond for their needs. Spending time with your pets is not just a privilege - it’s a passion! I’ll always leave your home clean and your pet cared for.

About: Hello I current aerve in the US Navy for about 5 years now I use to work at a dog daycare/boarding facility for a little over 3 years along with a little obedience training and the basic commands I have also worked along with a few service dogs and been around with the SPCA for a bit to and I try to give back as much as possible I’m in this more for seeing all the great personalities your dogs have and to make your life a little easier as I was always told nobody can ever love you like your dog could ever or be as loyal and caring as your dog will ever be I hope to hear from you soon thank you!
