“Nicol is wonderful and we love her! She is incredibly reliable and can usually accommodate last minute requests. She’s so good to my precious baby and communicates very well.”

“Lindsey did a great job. She was on time and returned our texts and calls almost immediately. Barkley loved her. We were first time users of a pet sitter and Lindsey exceeded our expectations. As nervous pet parents, Lindsey put our minds to rest by sending pictures and updates of how Barkley was doing through out our time away. We will definitely use her again as Barkley's sitter.”


“Marcus was great! He does great with teddy who can be a handful, is always communicative and sends lots of pictures and videos. He was even able to accommodate my last minute trip for the holiday with no problem! Have booked him before and will definitely be booking him again!”

About: “I have experience pet sitting for friends and family, along with personally raising multiple dogs over the years. I’m familiar with daily care routines like feeding, walking, cleaning up, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also cared for small animals, including a hamster, so I understand the importance of gentle handling and attention to detail. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get plenty of love, patience, and care.” “I have a pretty open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, keep up with their routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and not alone. I’m also home in the evenings, so they’ll have consistent care throughout the day and night.” In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I have a large indoor area where pets can move around freely and comfortably, as well as a spacious back patio for supervised outdoor time. Pets will have access to regular potty breaks and exercise throughout the day, and there is a nearby dog park and walking trail for additional outdoor activity when appropriate. I provide cozy bedding, toys for enrichment, and treats (with owner approval). I also make sure pets stay on their normal feeding routine and follow any specific instructions given by the owner, including dietary needs or restrictions. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine closely to help pets feel safe and maintain consistency in their environment. My priority is always to ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“AJ was very kind to accommodate a same day request. He is communicative, punctual, and took the time to write a thorough report card with lots of pictures. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup!”


“Very polite and understanding of pets needs. From the meet and greet to actual sitting, my Dog got a big and he was more than understanding in his new diet. Always giving updates and feedback on his walks. Highly recommend.”

“Tina was a wonderful pet sitter! She provided pictures and detailed daily updates and spent as much time trying to socialize with my shy baby as possible. She respected my space and followed all of the provided directions perfectly! I would definitely use her again. Very trustworthy with your animal and your home!”


About: Hi! My name is Ashley, and I would love to walk and love on your fur babies while you’re away! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I love walking in and seeing the smiles when they know they get to go for a walk! I’m a local PreK teacher so my schedule is usually free after 3:30 on weekdays, but my weekends are usually wide open! Growing up I always had animals in my house so I’m very comfortable with messes they make or medicine they need, so if your babies need that too I’d be more than happy to help! If you’re looking for someone to have your pets feel comfortable and happy all day, even while you’re away, I’d love to be that person! I'm currently a PreK teacher at a local elementary school, so my weekdays are open starting around 3:30 pm! On the weekends, I usually hang out at home or around town, so my schedule is pretty flexible! In your home, I promise to follow whatever makes your pets the most comfortable! Whether your dogs like to lounge on the couch or feel more content in a crate, I'll do whatever you'd like!
“Sophia is so wonderful! She is professional, kind, and was very attentive with my puppy. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for quality pet care!”


About: I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, and have grown to really enjoy caring for cats as well. I have a bunny of my own, so I understand how important it is to give pets daily attention, patience, and love. I’m known by friends and family for being great with animals, and I’ve even been recommended to work at a grooming and dog care store. I’m gentle, reliable, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I can provide reliable dog walking and drop-in visits when your pets need them most. Whether it’s a morning stroll, an afternoon check-in, or some evening cuddle time, I make sure every pet gets exercise, attention, and love. I understand how important it is for pets to feel happy and safe while you’re away, and I tailor my visits to fit their needs—and your schedule! I make sure they’re always supervised, have plenty of water and comfort, and get lots of love and attention. Your pets will have fun and feel cared for while you’re away, so you can return knowing they’re happy and safe!
“Jennifer was amazing! Even though my cat is naturally spicy to new people, she was able to work with him and did everything asked. Thank you so much for playing ball and watching birds with him, I appreciated him having someone to enrich him while I’m away. Thank you for going above and beyond.”


About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for pets comes very naturally to me. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs — many of them rescues and foster dogs — so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also helped raise and train puppies, giving me experience with younger dogs and basic training reinforcement. I’ve also helped care for senior dogs, including my own dog who lived to 17, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care older pets may need. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve house sat and pet sat for families and friends for years, caring for both dogs and cats. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company while their owners are away, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m a recent college graduate and have a very flexible schedule this summer, so I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week. I currently work at a Pilates studio on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but outside of those hours I’m available and able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I always try to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and giving them lots of attention, patience, and care. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and feel safe while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means high energy walks, extra cuddles, or a calmer environment for senior pets. I also make sure homes are kept clean, secure, and respected at all times. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and confident while in my care.
“Bianca was a great sitter! Kind and communicative throughout the entire process and took good care of our fur baby :) Appreciated that she shared updates and pictures during each drop-in visit. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”

“Danni is awesome! Both my pups are so well taken care of with her. I feel comfortable leaving them in her care because she is diligent, consistent, has great communication and the pups love her! Thank you for all you do, Danni!”

Tina went above and beyond to take care of our cat. She takes great photos and very detailed notes, making sure to address every single care instruction that we gave her. She was accommodating when I had to add a couple extra feeding instructions at the last minute, and responded to all messages promptly. Certainly made my gf and I less stressed, would 100% recommend.

I have to say that is the first time I use this app since I usually take my fur baby to a boarding hotel, but I have to say that Moli was AMAZING!!!! You can see that she loves animals and Max fell in love with her and looked so happy and comfortable in the pictures she sent me. If you need someone to take care of your baby while you are away she should be your go to sitter. Thank you again Moli, hope we’ll get another opportunity in the future for you to be close and able to take care of my baby again. Thank you! ♥️🐾

Sophia has cat sat for me twice now, and she’s been wonderful both times. She is very communicative, attentive, and clearly cares a lot about the animals she watches. She took great care of my cats, followed their specific food needs carefully, and made sure to spend time playing with them as well. I always felt updated and reassured while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!

Madison is a phenomenal sitter. My cat needs insulin twice per day and can be fearful of strangers administering it, but Madison really went above and beyond to ensure that her needs were met. Her detailed updates and prompt communication made me feel assured that my cat was being well taken care of. I highly recommend her!
