“Jana was great with my two dogs! Sent lots of photos and info on how the visit went and she above all made sure that both dogs had a safe visit. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Hannah did a wonderful job with our pups! She came to watch them on really short notice but was prompt, communicative, and took our two big pups on a walk and sent us lots of photos :)”
About: I've helped care for my previous roommate's 60 lb dog for 6 years while living together. This included letting him outside, taking him on walks, feeding him, and giving him medication when needed. I've also watched and cared for several other friends' dogs and cats while they were away. I'm currently working part-time and will have most of the summer off, so my schedule is relatively flexible at the moment. Happy to chat more about it! I will respect and oblige by any rules or boundaries set forth for your pets and within your home. Happy to accommodate and meet you where you're at!
“Elizabeth was fantastic with our young puppy - kept him on great sleeping and play schedule and was super easy to work and coordinate with! Look forward to having her back soon.”
“Julia is a fantastic pet sitter! She is extremely reliable and we can tell that she truly loves animals — it is apparent in the playtime, snuggles, and beautiful photos she sends. She made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She went above and beyond for us - we had forgotten to cancel a meal delivery kit and she brought it in and unpacked it into fridge for us. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“I cannot recommend Samantha highly enough! She took absolutely amazing care of my two cats while I was away. From the moment we first spoke, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. Throughout the entire time, she kept me updated with lots of adorable pictures and sweet messages, which made me feel completely at ease. It was clear from the photos and videos that my cats were not only well cared for, but also genuinely happy and comfortable in her presence. She spent quality time playing with them and making sure they had everything they needed. Thank you!!!!”
“Anna did a great job stepping when I had to travel last minute. She was communicative and thoughtful, even bringing a couple packages inside for me. I will definitely book her again!”
“Carole is a phenomenal sitter! She takes great care of our two cats, always asks us key questions about their food, play, and general needs. She’s attentive, kind, and a complete all-star! We’ve used her dozens of times and always ask for her when we’re leaving town because we know our cats will be in great hands.”
“Truly one of the best pet sitters around. Sue cares for your animal is if they are her own. She is timely with updates and sends lots of photos. Would definitely contact Sue again to care for Kiwi!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets at a young age and have learned to love them like family. I’m always here when friends and family need me with their pets. I’m willing to go the extra mile, and love them as if they were mine! I work full-time, but willing to help anytime after work if needed! I’m available anytime Saturday and Sundays. Mondays and Fridays I can also be flexible as I can WFH! I like to take care of the fur babies in their own home to make them as comfortable as possible. I make sure they’re in a fenced area, well surrounded by others and feel comfortable and safe!
“Anna was the first person to check on our cats that wasn’t a family member or friend, and she surpassed all of our expectations! Each day during our weeklong trip, we looked forward to the detailed notes and various pictures of our boys whom we missed so much! Anna was reliable and responsive, and she cared for our cats as if they were her own ♥️”
About: I am an active individual who loves caring for animals and spending time with them! I have had two dogs in my life and have always been attentive to their needs. I just graduated from undergrad and will be starting my masters in counseling this fall while working part time, too. I manage my time well! I care for pets in clients home by being respectful of the fact that this is not my house. I am being trusted to care for a pet in someone else’s home and I take that very seriously.
“Mackenzie is so responsive and kind! She sends amazing updates after each walk with my dog. She’s been very flexible when I needed to add a walk one week and you can tell genuinely cares about animals. Additionally my pup loves her! Would highly recommend her!”
“Chuck has taken care of our cat several times in the past year and has done a fantastic job. Couldn’t be happier with the care he’s shown for our cat in playing with him, feeding him, and cleaning up after him. 5 stars!”
“Leanne was absolutely wonderful taking care of my cat Poe while I was traveling. She was communicative, thoughtful, consistent, and clearly loves animals. I didn't have to worry once about Poe's care -- highly recommend!”

“I can’t say enough positive things about Jess. We have a reactive dog, Harper, who is slow to warm up, and Jess treated her with patience and compassion. Now Harper jumps up on her when she sees Jess because she loves her so much. She will love your babies like they’re her own. She’s incredibly responsible, responsive, and a gentle soul.”
