About: Hi! I’m Lauren — a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on pet care experience. I grew up in a home that always had dogs (usually three!), and I started dog-sitting back in college in the early 2000s. One of my favorite long-term clients had a huge white German Shepherd who growled at everyone. By evening on day one, he was upside down in my lap, getting a belly rub! I had two beloved dogs of my own for 15 years, and now that I have two young kids (and no current pets), I’m looking to share my love with your furry (or scaly!) family member. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, or snuggle time, I’ll treat your pet like my own. Dogs, cats, snakes, bunnies — you name it, I love them all. 💛 If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to help care for your pet while you’re away! I only work a few hours in the morning (9-12), so my schedule is pretty flexible — I can often accommodate daytime, evening, or even last-minute pet care needs. I’m currently available for daytime, evening, and weekend bookings. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own home, so I’m happy to care for your dog or cat in their familiar space while you’re away. That said, if you'd prefer your pet stays with me, I do have a safe, fenced-in front yard that's great for larger dogs to get some playtime and fresh air. Inside, your pet will be treated like part of the family — couches are fair game (as long as you’re cool with it!), and my whole family will be happy to shower your pet with love, snuggles, and attention.
“Ashley was amazing! She watched my dog for the weekend and went above and beyond—sending regular updates and pictures, and always responding quickly to any questions. She was incredibly hospitable to me, my partner, and my pup, making us all feel welcome and comfortable. Thanks again and will be using you again soon”
“Krystal provided outstanding care and attention for our 2 dogs (Thelma & Louise). She ensured Louise took her medication and sent us photos of their walks. Krystal not only took care of our pets; she also put us at ease knowing they were well cared for. I highly recommend her service.”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing while babysitting my dog, Cooper, during my time away. She went above and beyond to give me constant updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she treated Cooper just as I would at home—he looked so happy, comfortable, and well cared for in every update. I am eternally grateful for her kindness, attentiveness, and dedication. I would wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”
About: I have been rescuing and petsitting since I was 14 years old. I’ve had rescue articles written about how many animals I have saved and I also studied animal behavior. I have worked in animal shelters,vet clinics,doggie daycares and boarding facilities. I have saved many dogs from the streets and have been a foster parent for neglected dogs many times. Your pup will have full access to indoors and outdoors as they please I have lots of toys beds and a doggie swimming pool they can run around the house and yard whenever they want and come inside and sleep on my bed whenever they want they will have a lot of freedom if i take them for car rides I use doggie harnesses and seat belts. I will send pictures and video updates through out the day and night and whenever you ask me what they are doing I will take a video or picture of whatever they are doing and send it to you. I will even record myself administering medications for peace of mind. I’m very introverted Instead of going out with people I am out in the streets saving animals or taking care of them. I have pet sit for many people and very popular by word of mouth but wanted to try this app out incase anyone or their pet needs me I will always be here💖🐾 I'm a self employed pet sitter so I make my own schedule when I'm not getting paid for taking care of animals I am volunteering my free time feeding stray animals around the city as well as taking them to vets for medical treatment and finding them loving homes. Your pet will own the house and will be free to do whatever they please. They will be indoors with the back door open with full access to my big fenced backyard.
“Ziggy’s stay with Marin and her family was awesome. The drop off and pick up were seamless and easily orchestrated. Ziggy had lots of entertainment provided with his frisbee and the other dogs. I received lots of updates and pictures about Ziggy while I was gone.He seemed in good spirits when I picked him up. I was easily able to lengthen Ziggy’s stay with Marin when I needed to stay out of town longer than expected. Thanks”

Sarah was just the perfect person for my dogs needs!”
