“Jared stayed over night with our dog Moose. He was very communicative, sent constant picture updates and was also very flexible on timing. He made sure Moose was well taken care of. We will definitely use Jared for any future needs for Moose.”

“Katie was absolutely lovely, and the pets got on with her really well. She sent through updates and photos, and made sure we felt comfortable (all on a holiday, too!) -- thank you Katie!”

“Julia was super responsive and was really patient with my dog. My dog was really struggling at the beginning when she stopped over but she continued to update me and ensured he was feeling comfortable! She was also so flexible with what I needed. She was great! Would recommend!”

“Hunter was really accommodating when we got sick while trying to schedule our meet & greet for a last minute trip. She did great with the dogs & allowed us a stress free weekend away!”

“Carol is simply the best sitter I’ve ever used! She is so caring, kind and accommodating and provides sweet updates for my girl. I know that Harper is in excellent hands with her and will be so well taken care of. She loves the dogs like her own and will be SO missed after her move!!! Thank you 🥰”

“Theresa was great with my tiny puppy (14 weeks)! I came home to a very happy and calm pup who had clearly had a wonderful afternoon. Theresa is a real pro - I’m new to this, and she was extremely helpful explaining potty training and leash weights.”

“Wish we could give ten stars! Marisa was so attentive to our dog with special needs and looked after everything at the house. This was the first time in three years we were able to go away without worrying. Such a blessing!”

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have been pet sitting on the side for over 2 and a half years now! I mostly do overnights, making sure dogs are well taken care of and attended to. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I will be available almost every day, at any given time! Whether that’s a drop in visit or an overnight stay! I try to spend as much time as much time as I have with your dog to make sure they have been let out to go to the bathroom and exercise if needed!
“Where do I begin, Midori exceeded my expectations in every way! She is gentle and loving toward our pets, flexible and trustworthy. She kept me updated with pictures and daily activities. At the last minute my daughter dropped her cat over too and Midori took care of both animals with TLC!!! I will hire Midori again and again…she is wonderful and accommodating and I was so relaxed on vacation because of her care!!!”

About: I have raised dogs, cats, a turtle, and parakeets since I was the size of a puppy, and I’ve treasured every minute of the experience. I’m always looking for ways to improve the lives of all animals I share a space with, from brushing teeth and giving baths to hiking and basic training - plus plenty of scratches and love. I'm currently working part-time, with a ton of availability for you and your pet family! Nights, weekends, even potentially some holidays are all on the table. I am an attentive and caring pet owner, and an animal lover in general, and am happy to suit your loved one’s needs and tempo. I’ve been around many different animal personalities in my life, and am well adjusted to frequent walks and attention, as well as capable of handling minor first aid should the need arise.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over three years. I’ve had various experiences with dogs and cats. As someone who has a dog of their own, I’ve been able to observe behaviors that’s helped when taking care of other dogs, to understand their needs and wants. I currently work remotely however, it doesn’t take time away when it comes to the fur babies! In fact, it allows me to be present and give them the much needed attention. I understand the environment the pets are settled in. I give daily updates to the home owner, making sure that any anxiety of leaving their pets behind is relieved. I bring my own food and care.
“Mary stayed with our 6 pets and managed our home very well when we traveled for a week. We got lots of pictures and videos and our pets were well cared for. I can definitely recommend Mary for your pet care and I will use her again next time we have need.”

“Nina was great. She stayed at our house for the week with our two dogs and you could tell by the pics they loved being with her. When we got home music was playing and the bed was stripped and in laundry. Would highly recommend.”


“Elizabeth did a great job watching our two labs (one is a puppy!) at our home. She was very easy going and easy to work with. When we got home the dogs were happy and quite tired! I would definitely use Elizabeth again!”

About: I’ve always been comfortable with dogs of all types. I grew up with dogs and have spent my whole life around animals, so caring for them feels natural to me. I’m calm, confident, and make sure to adjust to each dog’s individual needs so they feel safe, understood, and well cared for. I work full‑time during the day, but I’m available in the early mornings and evenings to take care of your pet.

I am also available to watch them at your house as well if you’d prefer. I am happy to follow your feeding schedule and to take your pet for a daily walk. There are no young children or anyone else living in the house except me.
“Jesse is THE BEST. After requesting the booking, he came out to meet us and our two boys, taking his own personal time to make sure it was a good fit. During his stay, he kept us informed with pictures and notes on the pups. He left our house just as he found it and, most important, we came home to 2 happy, sleepy dogs, tired after a vacation of their own! Jesse is reliable and incredibly knowledgeable and hardworking. Can’t wait to have him back!”
