“Jess took amazing care of my dog Topo! She was kind, attentive, and very communicative throughout the entire stay. I could tell Topo felt comfortable and happy with her.”
About: I have taken care of multiple relatives dogs for as long as I can remember. I was responsible for feeding them (whether it was regular dog food or a special concoction), taking them out for walks, giving them pets and taking them to the park. I have mainly taken care of older dogs, but they were big and energetic! I also have grown up with a cats, Guinea pigs, fish and hermit crabs at one point! I’m currently a full time college student, but I have room in my schedule to take care of your animals and give them all the love and play they need! Growing up with animals, I am very receptive on how to take care of them. I have dog sat for multiple people and I have had cats my whole life! I will make sure your pet is comforted and well cared for in your home and I will make sure no harm comes to your animal or house.

“Jillian was amazing with my pups!! She communicated through out the stay and sent pics! She left my house neat and clean. Highly recommend her!!”
About: Hi! I’m Aidan — a lifelong animal lover and dog owner who treats every pet like my own. What sets me apart? I don’t just “watch” your pets — I connect with them. Whether it’s playtime or a walk with purpose, I focus on creating a safe, fun, and calm environment tailored to your pet’s needs and personality. I take the time to understand routines, quirks, and preferences so your pet feels secure and happy while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely passionate about building trust — with both you and your furry friend. Let’s make your time away stress-free and tail-waggingly good! I currently work a part-time job Monday through Friday. This means that I am free over the weekend to dedicate my time to your pet. When I’m caring for pets in your home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved — just like you never left. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to keep everything familiar and stress-free. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and needs — whether that’s slow, calming cuddles or energetic fetch sessions. I also make sure your home stays clean and respected while you’re away, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. What sets me apart? I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and I truly care about making your pets feel at home — even when you’re not.
“Samantha is fantastic, she has a gift. My dog is a senior, with difficulty walking and we have to pick her up to get on the sofa, the bed and the stairs, and she did everything with great care. She sent me photos and messages all the time. I will definitely hire her again when I need. to take care my dog. I highly recommend her.”
“Kira was absolutely amazing! She took the best care of my pup Jameson and left the house exactly how we left it! She even brought him some treats and sent us updates it was our first time leaving him without family & we couldn’t have had a better experience. She kept us updated on him the entire time & cared for him just as much as we do! We will definitely be booking again for our future trips!”

“Jeffrey is fantastic! Very flexible and easy to communicate with, we really appreciated how willing he was to come over and meet our dogs twice before our trip. He was also more than willing to return to our house to let them outside for a quick break when we asked. Can’t recommend Jeffrey enough!”

“Elaina did a wonderful job of caring for my two cats when I was away for a week. She is reliable, punctual, follows instructions carefully and truly cares about pet welfare. With Elaina caring for the cats, I would feel 100% confident that all was being done exactly as I would. One of my cats is elderly and recovering from an illness and so required extra attention, which Elaina managed perfectly. Elaina is a fantastic and trustworthy pet sitter. Five stars, 100% great!!”

However I’m happy to accommodate your pets needs in your home however is best!
“Jamie was a lifesaver for me! With very little notice due to a family emergency, Jamie committed to house sitting my cat and dog for several days. She is very conscientious, reliable, dedicated and responsible. I will definitely use Jamie again. I highly recommend her,”
About: I've had cats my entire life, I pet sit for 2 dogs during the summer before I could get a job and would love for it to become a regular part of my life again. I enjoy spending time with animals sometimes more than people. I'm a college student and a caregiver currently so feel free to reach out with questions about availability. I have a constantly changing schedule and I may be available more than what's marked here. I take care of my own 2 cats daily, and I'd love to take care of more pets in between my work hours or on my days off. I've been in an environment with animals as long as I can remember feeding them, scooping litter boxes, and my favorites giving love, and playing.
“Kate does regular walks with our dog, Franklin, and stayed with him at our home this weekend while we were away. Franklin always has a great time and Kate is considerate and communicative the entire time. I could not recommend Kate more! She is definitely someone you can depend on to care for your pet and your home.”
“Jon was amazing! He cared for our five dogs, chickens, and fish. He gave my senior dog daily medication and did diaper changes. Fed the chickens and collected eggs. He also got the mail and the house was cleaner when we got home then when we left. Jon is very personable, professional, and my dogs love him! Got daily updates and pictures too! Prompt response and communication from Jon made me feel very secure and confident. We cannot say enough about this great experience! We definitely recommend Jon for care of your animal family!”
“Rosary has been a life saver. My husband is sick and she has been very flexible and helping with whatever is needed. Today she spent the entire day with our toy poodle Georgy while we made our bi-monthly pilgrimage to my husbands doctor. He is 1.5 hours away so it’s a long day. Georgy was completely happy and tired when we got home. She is 8 months so tiring her out takes a lot of play time. I would highly recommend Rosemary.”

2. Claire M.
“Claire Is by far the most disciplined and thoughtful person I have ever met. She pays close attention to detail in all things in life. After having been her college roommate I can vouch for her when I say I trust her with my fur babies. Claire has watched my dog and cat while I was gone for family vacations and she continues to whenever needed. Not only do I see the love and care she has for animals, but my pets do too. My pets even get more excited about seeing her than me! I trust my pets with her and you should too.”

10. Tina R.
“Tina watches my cat and dog. She has done drop in visits as well as pet sitting for me. When Tina does a drop in visit, she is prompt and spends time with the pets. As a pet sitter, she is reliable and trustworthy. In both scenarios, her first inclination is to the well being of my pets and making them feel as safe and loved as they are with me. Both pets enjoy her company. I would highly recommend Tina to take care of your pets.”
11. Brianna B.
“Brianna looked after my fur babies while I was on vacation and she was absolutely amazing. My dogs can be hesitant with new people, but they warmed right up to her which made me so happy!! She followed their food routine and how often they go out to a T. She also shared a recipe for homemade dog treats that she uses for her own dogs (they LOVE it). Highly recommend booking Brianna for walks or house sitting if you’re in need!”
