“Hannah was so great with Daisy! She followed all of the instructions we left and made sure to bond and make Daisy feel comfortable while my husband and I were gone all week on vacation. She provided us daily updates with pictures and was very communicative, which made it so much easier to be away from Daisy for a whole week. I would definitely recommend Hannah to anyone needing a gentle and attentive dog sitter!”

“Ella did a wonderful job taking care of all my animals. She sent me pictures and timely texts when I asked how they were doing. We did a meet and greet a few days before she housesit , and went over my pets’ routines. She was punctual, friendly, and loved on my animals as I would. I gave her a thank you card with tip in person!”


About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for many years. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, so I always try to make them feel comfortable and safe. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow any instructions, whether it’s caring for energetic dogs, shy cats, or pets that just need extra love and attention. I work online a few hours a day with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for pets and give them attention throughout the day. I can easily adjust my routine for walks, feeding times, playtime, or check-ins. I’m usually available on weekdays and I also have availability on weekends depending on the booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and try to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel relaxed and secure. I pay close attention to their behavior, making sure they have enough exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure everything stays clean, safe, and calm for your pet.
“We had another great sitting experience with Addie. I appreciate how well she communicates and the photos that she sends. Dogs were happy and well cared for upon return. Thank you, Addie!”

“Dina was a huge blessing to us and our dogs. Our dogs are seniors that have medicines, supplements and specific routines that I get nervous about when explaining to new sitters but she handled everything so well and graciously. She went above and beyond in taking great care of our sweet dogs and she had great attention to detail. You can tell she is a true animal lover and it makes us feel more comfortable when traveling knowing someone we can trust is taking care of them and our house. She sent updates and pictures everyday. Thanks again!”

About: I grew up with dogs. As an adult rescued a dog, worked w rescues for over 10 yrs. Fostered rescues, worked at animal shelter. My own dogs I show and personal service train for me. I work full time at night and have time days and evenings for your fur babies. Work anytime around both yours and my schedule too. Because I live in apartment, I have fenced park to play. Play with my dogs too. Can be crated for safety too while I work. I have cameras on my dogs at all times for safety.
“Melissa was absolutely incredible! Leaving your pets during the holiday is always so hard, but Melissa made them feel so loved and cared for. We got so many pictures and updates that made us feel so comfortable and confident with our choice and Melissa! Our fur babies absolutely love her and cannot wait to see her again soon. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Kat was amazing! She’s not only just a cool person, but our dogs took to her immediately. We appreciate the communication while we were away - including pics of the pups lounging the day away. I will definitely book her again in the future.”

“This was my first time using Sierra as a dog sitter. I was in a bind after a scheduling misunderstanding with another dog sitter. Sierra came through and saved the day! Sierra always promptly responded to my texts and sent me updates. She took good care of Dewey and left me house clean and tidy. Sierra spent an excellent amount of time at my house. Would highly recommend!”

“Jimmy was great! Stayed at our house while we was gone on vacation for a week. Took very well care of both of our dogs and also took care of our mums and other plants. House was clean and very well taken care of as well. I would highly recommend him. We will be considering again in December when we leave again for a week. Oh and he sent pictures and communicated everyday with us.”

About: A college student who loves animals looking for extra money over the summer! Hello! My name is Allie! I have grown up with both dogs and cats and don’t know any other way than how to take care of them! I have two dogs and have been left alone with them in the house since I was about 14 (currently 18). So I have come to understand how to take care of them overnight. My dogs can be aggressive and bark loudly which I have come to learn how to deal with and am not scared of. I have also seen the crossover between cats and dogs and am able to manage that as well. Last summer I dog sat for a family for about a period of 10 days. And have been on and off overnight watching and walking him for about a month now! I am currently a freshman in college looking for a way to make some summer money and currently have a completely free schedule other than some babysitting jobs! I have a fenced in yard with an electric fence. I walk my dogs at least once every day which I love to do. They eat and drink when they want to as they are trained to do so but also understand if your dog runs on a schedule. We use a dog door but also am able to tell when dog needs to go in/out and keep them on that schedule as well!
About: I have grown up with animals and love dogs and cats of all sizes and types! I was a service dog trainer with an organization on my college campus so I have a lot of experience with helping with dogs that are not mine. I was relied on to babysit these service dogs in training- caring for their training, health, and safety the whole time they were away from their primary trainers. I also have senior dogs at my parents and other extended families' houses that I have had experience with taking care of. I'm a teacher so I am looking for part time work this summer especially! I would be available some evenings and weekends through the end of May but have a much wider availability for June and July! Please reach out with any inquiries! I will take care of your pets with the utmost respect and care! I will watch them like they were my own pets that needed to be cared for.
“Chelsea was amazing! She stayed in our home for 11 days and cared for our two kittens, and checked to ensure our snake had water. She went above and beyond taking care of our home and our fur babies. I received texts with pics and videos nearly everyday. She was very responsive to messages. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”

“Caitlin was wonderful with my girls. She watched them over the 4th of July and spent all evening comforting them since they are terribly afraid of fireworks. The pups were super comfortable when I got home. I will absolutely be booking again.”

“Brian was great! He communicated well, took great care of both our dog and cat (and the dog involved giving pills regularly!) - it was great to be able to away for a weekend and trust that everything was in good hands at home!”

About: Hi there! Thank you for checking out my profile!

I am a certified Dog Obedience Trainer with exceptional experience in dog behavior, learning theory, breed attributes and animal husbandry.

I’m a fast learner, pay attention to even the smallest details, I am a compassionate person willing to go out of my way to make sure your fur baby is happy. If you ever need someone to watch your dogs/cats or just someone to get them out of the house to play, keep me in mind!

We own two very spoiled and very loved dogs who will treat your pup like a brother or sister. Outside of the home, my main priorities are your pup’s safety and the fun they have under my care.

I highly recommend Casey to care for your fur babies! We traveled out of town and she went over and beyond caring for our 16 year old Sadie. Casey is super clean and very polite. Knowing Sadie was being looked after by Casey provided such a wonderful trip to see our family. I can’t wait to have Casey come back for our next trip.
