I had a great experience with Chunli! She was incredibly considerate of my home and treated it with the utmost respect while caring for my dog. I truly appreciated the thoughtful daily updates and photos — it was so reassuring to see how well taken care of my pup was while I was away. I could tell she went above and beyond to make sure both my dog and my home were in great hands.

About: Hi I’m Rachel! You can feel at ease knowing that I am pampering your fur-baby to their hearts content. I have cared for animals my entire life, from horses to birds to puppies. I love to keep the pups mentally and physically stimulated whether it be food puzzles or beach days at fiesta island. I have attended dog training classes with my own dogs in the past, so I will apply what I have learned as I care for yours if you would like me to. I work from home, so the dog-walking breaks are just as refreshing for me as they are for your pup! Plus my schedule is very flexible. I have a Pomsky named Mochi who is a little over two years old. He is incredibly social, so if your dog is social as well it’s a great way for them both to burn some energy! I won’t introduce them unless you specifically ask me to though. Feel free to ask me any additional questions :)

I was so nervous about leaving my dog with a stranger for 3 days, but Claudia went above and beyond to make me feel at ease. She was kind enough to meet my dog beforehand to make sure it was a good fit—and my dog loved her instantly. She even rolled over for belly rubs, which she never does for anyone new! While I was away, Claudia sent me tons of photos and videos, which made me feel so connected. I had left very specific door-training instructions (my dog must sit before the door is opened, and the hallway must be cleared before the release command). Claudia followed these perfectly, which was really important to me for safety and consistency. When I came home, my house was spotless—honestly cleaner than when I left. Even my Brita was filled to the top! And the sweetest surprise of all: it was my dog’s birthday while I was away, and Claudia threw her a mini birthday party. She sent me photos of my dog in rainbow birthday hats, a princess sash, with balloons and a new toy. It meant the world to me to see someone else celebrate my dog with so much love. She also shared the cutest little updates, like how my dog would wake up around 2 or 3 a.m., give her a kiss, then go back to bed. It’s the small details like that that showed me she truly cared and kept our routine. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My dog adored her, and I’ve already recommended Claudia to my coworkers. I’ll definitely be hiring her again—not just for overnight stays but for occasional walks too, so they can keep their sweet bond going.

About: As a flexible college student looking for summer work, I have a schedule that allows me to dedicate reliable time and attention to the pets I care for. I have 3 years of professional pet sitting experience, caring for pets with a wide range of routines and medical needs. I’ve cared for dogs/cats from just a few months old to senior age, requiring extra patience, monitoring, and specialized care. I’m experienced administering oral medications, eye and ear medications, and topical treatments. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions to make sure pets stay safe, healthy, and comfortable. Along with my professional experience, I’ve also owned and cared for dogs, cats, and horses throughout my life. I genuinely love animals and do my best to care for every pet with the same attention and love I would want for my own pets. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. I’ve owned and cared for a dog, six different cats, a horse, and rodents throughout my life. I’m very used to managing feeding schedules, exercise, grooming, cleaning, playtime, and giving animals consistent attention and care every day. As a college student not taking classes over the summer, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible by providing plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and walks. I truly try to care for every pet like they’re my own so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and leave them as clean, or cleaner, than I found them while carefully following all care instructions.

He treated my dog with so much love and attention, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable the whole time. I’m so thankful for him warm heart and excellent care. Highly recommended!

Eliza was amazing with Hamachi. We recently adopted him and he has some separation anxiety. We wanted to go to a concert and it was our first time leaving him with a sitter. From the moment Eliza sat with him, he seemed at ease. Eliza is very personable, easy going, and caring. We enjoyed our date night knowing Hamachi was in good hands. We were running a little late coming home and Eliza stayed with him until we got back and was very flexible about it.

Martinique was a wonderful dog sitter! She stayed overnight several days with our dog Joy. She kept us updated on how Joy was doing with texts, videos, and pictures. Joy gets nervous when we are not around and Martinique was patient with her. We felt very comfortable having her watch Joy. We will definitely be asking Martinique to watch Joy again!

About: I've taken care of aggressive dogs, dogs with special medical needs, and everything in between. I am reliable, communicative, and I love being with animals. As a teacher, I get summer vacations, so I have a free schedule to devote to petsitting. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, for short or long periods. I have experience taking care older dogs, and I'm also comfortable around dogs with behavioral problems. In every case, I'm attentive to the animal's needs.

Rachel is very experienced with dogs, especially large dogs. Ours is particular; Rachel got down on her level at their first meeting, and it was all good from there on! She kept us updated with photos and notes during her stay. I will definitely call Rachel the next time we need a dog sitter!

Leah was the dog whisperer we so needed to care for our elderly, anxiety ridden, blind, fuzzy child. Her prior booking meet and greet was critical to the success of the care she gave. In addition, her training as a Vet Tech gave us additional comfort for the special needs our dog requires. Patient, understanding, compassionate and dependable. Leah will be the top of our list for any future dog sitting needs.

What a blessing to find Sophia. She went over and above taking care of our anxious, clingy dog for 12 days. Photos were sent daily along with updates and upon our return home, the house was exaclty as we had left it and our dog looked fantastic. Book Sophia if you can however do not book her when we need her😂

Sandra was absolutely incredible during our recent overnight trip. From the moment we got home, I could tell the boys were beyond happy — relaxed, loved, and completely themselves. And somehow, her sweet pup Koko and my dogs are now officially best friends. She took care of everything so seamlessly it felt like she had always been part of our routine. I came home after a long work trip to a spotless house, clean sheets and towels, and very content pups. I was honestly in heaven. The boys are definitely missing Sandra and Koko today. 💛 If you’re lucky enough to book her, you’ll understand exactly how we feel. She gets off-the-charts stars from me — huge thank you, Sandra! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Marie took on a big order to support our furbabies. Marie stayed in our home with our new puppy, very geriatric dog, and our sweet husky. Plus 2 cats. What she provided was support for a family healing post breast cancer, caring for her furfamily in very challenging stages at the same time. We were provided beautiful videos, kind and compassionate words, that eased the stress to allow her healing. We are so grateful to Marie.
