Samm house sat our 3 pups for 5 days! One of our pups is a senior dog with special needs that requires drops and gel in his eyes everyday/night. All 3 pups were very well taken care of and Samm was such a sweet house guest!

I booked Lori on short notice and so glad I did. She was super attentive to my dog and cat, communicated well with me throughout my travel, and paid careful attention to making them comfortable with her. Already have her booked for my next trip!

I can’t say enough about how great Patience was with the dogs! I’m sure they felt they were on their own vacation! We have dog with medication needs and she was totally on top of it! Sent pictures and video updates! I think the dogs only complaint is that she left when it was over!

Matt is very good at communicating. He was good at following the instructions I left and flexible when my flight was delayed. He took Lacey for walks an made sure she went out for business before he left the house for work. When he did meet and greet a couple weeks prior, Lacey was on antibiotics (pills) and I expected her to be done by the time of my trip. She had to stay on them longer, and Matt made sure she got her pills.

Chloe was absolutely wonderful! Our dog was perfectly comfortable with her and happy in the pics she shared. The morning after we got back, I found her sleeping in the guest bed where Chloe had been, something she has never done before!

About: growing up with a family dog, i’ve always looked forward to our long walks. since i've moved to care for my grandma & i can’t have a pet at my current home, i’m looking to be the dedicated adventure buddy your pup deserves! i’m an avid walker who cleans up after your pet & loves exploring local parks and trails, and i’m just as comfortable handling a brisk, high-energy trek as i am a slow, 'sniff-heavy' stroll for seniors or four legged friends who love getting distracted! HOT WEATHER: for dog-friendly clients, i am able to provide outings to low stress trips to uncrowded, pet-friendly stores/facilities for stimulation and enrichment (including a potty break outside before and after, of course!) i am also happy to walk earlier/later in the day to avoid the heat as well! i also enjoy keeping pets company in home, whether its playing with toys, using lick mats, or just spending some time together! because i work evening and overnight shifts, i have guaranteed availability every morning and midday for your dog’s routine. whether you need a recurring daily walker or a same-day visit because you’re running late, i'm local and ready to jump in! my current job is closing in a few months, so i’ll be even more available for your schedule soon :) in public, i use a short-leash grip, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings without distractions like phones/technology of any kind (aside from photos, of course!), and avoid unknown dogs to keep your pup protected. i pride myself on being a trustworthy, punctual communicator, providing frequent photo updates so you’re always in the loop. i am very confident in my ability to kennel/leash pets & i consider myself well-versed in administering medication. i am keen when reading animal stress signals, ensuring your pet feels safe and understood under my care! as of early may, i am taking dog training certification courses to better my understanding and confidence in dog training :)

Andrew was the delight of my poodle Chloe! She now loves him more than me! He is professional, reliable, caring, and respectful. I feel so relieved that I can leave Chloe without a backward glance. He provided daily photos. A wonderful experience for me, using a housesitter/dog carer for the first time.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs entire life, and around various other animals. I am very experienced in feeding, walking, and bathing both cats and dogs. I work full time, usually 8am-4pm, but am willing to do evenings and weekends anytime. I am fairly accommodating with any other times as well, I can also do on my lunch break. If caring for a pet within a clients home, I would like to know about the pets daily habits and things they are/are not allowed to do. I know most people have their dogs/cats on a routine, so I would like to keep that as close to regular as possible.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, care, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality and unique needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I am dependable, trustworthy, and committed to keeping pets happy and maintaining their normal routines. I also have experience caring for pets at different stages of life, including young puppies and senior animals. I can help reinforce basic training for younger pets, such as potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. With senior pets, I provide gentle care, extra patience, medication reminders if needed, and close attention to comfort and mobility needs. In addition to daily feeding, walks, and playtime, I focus on providing companionship and reducing stress or anxiety for pets when their families are gone. I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos so they always know their pets are in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and reliable experience that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. Pet care fits into my daily routine by being my favorite thing in the world. Since I moved I am not able to have any pets so being able to take care of your fur baby would be a blessing! I do not allow pets at my place over night. Only if it’s for a few hours as my landlord is picky. So it is more ideal for me to come to your place as it would be easier for me to meet your pets needs. I do ask that you provide so information about your pets when you book with me. Thank you!

Luna helped us out in a tight situation! We needed a pet sitter at the last minute and she pulled through for us. She was willing to come without meeting our pets before the weekend she came to sit. Luna was responsible and I felt our pets were safe with her. I would definitely ask her to come again.

About: Ive had dogs all 21 years of my life. Currently I have 5 dogs all medium sized dogs which is a lot of cleaning and attention so I understand needing the help. I love all animals and would be willing to work with pets that I have not worked with yet. I’m big on communication just want everyone to be comfortable my schedule is pretty lenient at the moment. I work for a company called premium/Acosta, which is a vendor for Walmarts. I also do Rover and Instacart. I do like to travel occasionally but I’m always big on communicating ahead of time at least two weeks in advance when I do plan something. I would always call or text if there was ever a concern or question and wouldnt do something that wasnt talked about before. I grew up with dogs and around animals all my life. I love all animals and am willing to learn and work with pets I have and haven’t worked with. I want both parties to be as comfortable as possible. I love communication, I always appreciate tips and tricks from the owners especially letting me know any triggers for the pet or boundaries.

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of animals, from playful puppies and independent cats to curious rabbits. My approach is always tailored to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I bring dedication and a genuine passion for animal welfare to every job. This extensive experience has taught me how to handle different temperaments and health requirements, making me a reliable and compassionate pet sitter for any furry friend. I am available on weekends, as well as all day Monday, and on Wednesday and Friday evenings. Willing to stay with you pets for the whole weekend or pop in on those days i’m free! There is a fenced yard at my parents' home with five dogs, and I often play ball with them outside. I also have a fenced yard at my place for my 2-year-old Mini Aussie, where we enjoy playing outdoors as well. He has two full toy baskets and bark boxes every month! He is very loved (spoiled) :)!
