1. Elvia C.

“Elvia is amazing! All I could say is wow after getting home and reading handwritten report cards for all three dogs and my cat individually. She has great attention to detail, care, and professionalism and is adaptable under tight time frame. She sent me pictures every day and spent time to get to know each of my animals so kindly and professionally. Very impressed 100/10!!!”

“Raquel was more than we could have hoped for. She is kind and professional, caring for our two dogs for five days/four nights at our home. She sent so many photos of them eating, playing, and sleeping, and kept in communication with us the entire time. She is perfect! FIVE STARS!!!!!”


3. Jennifer B.

“Jennifer took amazing care of our senior dog and overgrown kitten while we were away for the week. Her passion for animals is evident, and she's a neat and thoughtful house guest. Our animals loved her from the moment they met her, and we appreciated the updates and videos she sent while we were away. We highly recommend Jennifer and will definitely use her again.”


4. Nicole P.


“Nicole was absolutely positively fantastic with our two dogs. She watched them for over a week during the holidays while we were out of the country and took such special & good care of my pups. She sent lots of pictures, videos and updates to us and the dogs looked so happy to be with her. I can’t recommend Nicole more highly!!!! Will re-book many times in the future. 🙏🏼🐾♥️”

“Amazing! Can’t thank you enough- above and beyond my expectations! I booked last minute labor weekend Vacation and Cinthia was able to not just accommodate the stay but also to come and meet and Greet. Justin has a very high Anxiety level without treating any Medication, An escape artist and very Suspicious.. It was great the way he clicked with Cinthia and felt comfortable she kept sending pictures and descriptions of the day. Highly recommended❤️?”

8. Sofia a.
About: I bring 7+ years of hands-on experience caring for and training dogs of all sizes, backed by two professional training courses. I've raised and trained four dogs, including my current French Bulldog and Belgian Shepherd, giving me insight into diverse breeds and their unique needs. My skills include puppy training, managing high-energy breeds, and providing personalized care. With me, your pet is not only safe but nurtured and understood. Pet care fits seamlessly into my flexible schedule as I pursue my college degree online. With the freedom to structure my day, I can dedicate ample time to providing attentive, personalized care for your pets. Whether it’s a daily walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m excited to spend my free time ensuring your furry friends are happy, healthy, and well cared for. I believe pets are happiest in their own familiar environment, so I prioritize providing care in your home where they feel most comfortable. I can handle everything from walks, playtime, and feeding to crate training if needed. If your dog enjoys socializing, I’m happy to gradually introduce them to my own dogs for companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.


9. Brandi L.

“My two Aussiliers loved hanging out with Brandi during my business trip earlier this week. She has a good connection with dogs, and is easy-going and professional. Communication and coordination with her is easy. My dogs ate and played well, and came back from their walk with Brandi all happy. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter!”


10. Katie V.

Katie provided photos and in depth updates so I had nothing to worry about! Great communicator and do easy to work with. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be using her again!”


11. Wendy Johanna B.

“Wendy did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs - and my home - while we were gone for two weeks. She followed instructions about their different dietary needs, and took them to local parks for longer walks. Both dogs can be a bit anxious, but they got so much love and attention from Wendy and were calm and happy when we got home. I would highly recommend Wendy and will certainly use her again!”


12. Shannon T.

“Highly recommend Shannon, she was so easy to communicate with, took care of our sweet dog as if she was her own, send updates throughout the day and was generally wonderful. Our dog was happy and calm at the end of every day she spent with Shannon. So grateful for Shannon and excited to work with her again!”

15. Alexis S.
About: I've babysat for my aunts and grandparents dogs over the years. I love animals so much and hope to have plenty of them in the future! So I'm looking to get as much experience with all breeds as possible! I'm currently unemployed which means I'll have tons of availability and free-time to give your pets the best care possible! I also have a rotating sleep schedule so I'm usually available for all different times I take care of pets by keeping a close eye on them and consistently checking in on what they might need. With 3 pets of my own I'm used to constantly checking water, scheduled feedings, and making sure they get plenty of exercise


16. Daira M.

“Daira is a great pet caretaker! She has adventured with my dog many times, and she never fails to amaze me. She is responsible, caring, timely, respectful, and flexible, all of which I look for in a pet caregiver. I am confident that Daira will be a positive influence on your pets' lives!”


17. Ginger R.
“My dog Apollo has terrible separation anxiety. He hates when we leave him with a sitter. But when Apollo sees Ginger he forgets all about Mommy and Daddy. Ginger is our favorite sitter. She’s sweet, reliable, and she sends pictures and videos of Apollo getting his belly rubbed. Apollo does have occasional seizures, but I know he’s in good hands with Ginger. I trust her with our boy 100%.”


18. Troy W.
About: I’m energetic and always active, will play and care for the dog at any needed hour of the day. I have experience with many breeds and senior dogs who may need extra care. Flexible schedule. I’m a student, off for the summer, working part-time at a pizzeria. Most of my day times are free and some days I am completely free! I have dog sat for three different houses, staying the night and providing any service asked of me. I have two dogs at home as well.
