Colleen was an excellent home/dog sitter for the night! We loved getting so many pup-updates throughout the day, and she took such great care of our dog. She is responsible, responsive, and trust-worthy. We highly recommend!

About: First two photos on my profile is my backyard and my living room ! I have taken care of horses since I was 15. I’ve had my own dog since 17. I’ve always been an animal lover. Small, big, I love them all ! I use to work at a doggie daycare for almost 2 years. Now I have my own house and want to expand in the pet sitting field on my own. :) I currently work full time but I work from home ! My job did talk to me about starting to go in one day a week, so their might be one day I won’t be home for 8 hours. Other than that I will be home all day long and can give your fur babies all the attention! I have a big fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Your pup will be able to go out as often as it wants. I have a really nice park near my house for walks.

About: I have had a dog my whole life and love playing with him, walking him, and running with him. I always take care of the dog I used to have and play with him all day long. He was very active and playful so I am used to dogs who are a little bit more energetic. I have a passion for animals and love being around them and having them in my house. I am super friendly and will always be willing to do whatever it is you need for your dog. I will provide many different things for us to do including: going for a walk around a park or even the beach. I will always accept any dog of a variety of sizes to walk and play with. I have also been walking with Wag! for about 5 months now and I love it! I love playing with the dogs bringing them for walks and just being around them. I can walk at night during the week and all day on weekends. I am a teacher so summers I am more free to walk more as well! I will do whatever is needed to provide the best care. I always follow instructions carefully and never forget anything! I always provide extra time for play and cuddles!

Alexandra has exceeded our expectations. Due to her attentiveness, personal commitment, and skillfulness, we were not only comfortable leaving the dogs and house in her care, we knew they were happy, active, and in great hands! We cannot wait to work with her more. A real gem in the doggie care business! Much appreciation to Alexandra.

My very young, but large and high-energy dog did exceedingly well with Connor. Having come into my life last October, I had not once left Chance in the care of anyone else. I was, of course, a bit nervous about how he would fare. He was rescued from a terrible situation and suffers from anxiety. I’ve worked hard to help Chance adjust, and I have made good progress. I had no reason to fear! Connor knew instinctively how to connect with Chance, and it is clear that I had the right person for this dog! I highly recommend Connor and thank him for taking a chance on Chance!

About: I have taken care of dogs for about 3 years, I love playing with them and taking them on walks. I enjoy taking care of pets. I will be able to stop by your house to give your pet food and go for potty breaks. I can also take them on their walks how much ever time is their necessary. I like to start my service by playing with the dog before starting our walk, I like to see what kind of mood they’re in so I can plan our walks accordingly and try to avoid other animals if necessary.

About: i’ve had pets ever since I was 5 i’ve loved dogs for as long as i can remember. And animals never seem to have a problem, they get along with me just fine. I currently own a guinea pig and he’s my best little friend. I’m definitely getting a dog in the future. I’m lways available for some lovey time with your pet 🫶🏽 I am currently in college. but I am available around my classes because they are online classes that I can take in my own time. Wednesday and Thursday I have scheduled classes in the late afternoon but we could work around that since the classes are online. I will care for your pet just as I care for mine and, will do anything that’s asked. Your pet is in great hands. There is also a dog park right next to my house, if you prefer to drop your dog we can go on a stroll to the park.

Nila is a sweet and loving caregiver who treated our yorkie like her own for the week we were traveling abroad. She responded quickly after another sitter cancelled just a week before our trip. She met us for a meet and greet and answered all of our questions, putting our minds at ease. While we were away she was very communicative and responsive. She went the extra mile to share photos and videos and accommodate our requests (she even watered our plants!). We could tell our pup was having an awesome staycation with her and her sweet dog Luca filled with walks, playtime and attention. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you Nila!!

About: Dogs and cats are better company than humans most days! I would love to hang out with your animals and keep them company. I’m a college student who misses her animals at home so I’ll be happy to spend as much time with your animals as you need. I have two dogs and two cats at home, and have always had animals in my home. I’m pretty comfortable with cleaning up after potty training accidents. My aunt had four Great Danes so I have experience around big dogs. No dog is too big or small for me! My last dog lived to 18 so I have experience with old pups, and puppies also. My schedule is open. During the fall and winter, I will have less time. Weekdays, during the morning and afternoon are open! As the fall and winter progress, I will update my schedule since I will be going back to school. My partner and I are currently renovating our home so our house is not open for care. I would be more comfortable with walking your furbaby, or caring for them at your home once we have met!

Kayla was great with our rambunctious puppy. She stayed at our home in hopes that our puppy would be OK with our week away. She communicated multiple times a day which included pictures of what our puppy was up to. She spoiled him with cuddles and keeping him happy playing, going for walks every day and kept up with our training. Kayla is highly recommended.

Kaitlyn spent a weekend with our new (very high energy, demanding) puppy, our 3 year old dog and older guinea pig while we took our daughter to camp. She did a beautiful job. She was communicative, conscientious and responsible. When we returned the animals were in great shape and the house was impeccably clean. Thank you, Kaitlyn. We hope you'll sit for us again.
