“We've always felt a bit uneasy about leaving our animals with strangers. But Sandra was the exception! She provided exceptional care and attention, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands.”
2. Tyler W.
“Tyler was fantastic! We arrived home after a few days vacation to a very happy dog. Tyler was easy to coordinate with, reassuring given her extensive experience and willing to help with a few of our outdoor animals. Our dog has a lot of energy and it was clear she was very well taken care of while we were gone. We can’t wait to use Tyler again!”
3. Hannah F.
“Hannah is absolutely the most caring and responsible pet sitter we’ve ever had. We joke that our dog loves Hannah better than he loves us! Hannah will build a positive relationship with your pet, allowing you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is in excellent care. In addition to be engaging with your pet, Hannah will be communicative with you as the owner. Two thumbs up from me and two paws from my dog for Hannah as a caregiver!”

About: My name is Ariana and I’m 22 years old. I’m doing this on the side until my kids go to daycare in the fall, And then I’ll be going back to work full time. I have a 1 1/2 year old and a 2 1/2 year old so the pups must be good with kids. I’ve had German Shepard’s my whole life so I’m used to and comfortable around dogs. I’ve been taking care of pets for years. I absolutely love being around and taking care of dogs no matter how small or big he/she is. I have a lot of availability so i can work with your schedule (: I have plenty of free time at the moment. I just graduated college and not working until the fall. My kids love dogs but they are also very respectful when it comes to giving them space. In my town we have long roads, nearby fields, and trails. They will be so loved and have fun here! I’ll take them for walks, and do baths upon request
13. Maria C.
“Maria was outstanding to say the least! Everything I could have asked for! Not only did she take Loki for adventures with her amazing dog Lalo but she also updated me the entire time! Loki was completely at ease when we got home. Leaving Loki with Maria was like a mix of having my own aunt and sister in law with him. She is an absolute game changer and we are so grateful to have her in our lives! ? ❤️”

20. Beth M.
About: I have been pet sitting for friends and neighbors since I was a child. I have had my own dog for 4 years and know how hard it can be to find reliable pet sitters in the area. Whether you are heading out on vacation or need someone to give your pet extra exercise, I'm happy to help! I have a nervous and reactive dog, so I am comfortable with gentle positive reinforcement and avoiding triggers. I can adapt care to make sure your pet is comfortable and not stressed. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am very available mornings and evenings, and have some flexibility at lunch for short visits. My weekends are wide open and I'd love to take care of your pet! I will treat your home with the same respect and cleanliness that I hope house sitters would treat mine. I can follow whatever rules you normally have with your pet and will do everything to maintain their schedule and sense of normalcy.
