“Alexis was the best! We would totally recommend and can’t wait to use her again. She was so communicative and really went above and beyond. She sent updates, followed the instructions we left, and even washed and remade the bed before leaving. Brisket loved the snuggles and daily walks.”
“Piper was prompt and dependable for her first time with our dog. Sierra is often a little nervous with unfamiliar people but seemed to take to Piper right away! We will definitely use Piper again.”
“Brandy did an amazing job watching my fur babies! I have some shy animals and a pup who can be a bit challenging on walks, but they all warmed up to her almost immediately. Through all the wonderful pictures and videos she sent, I could tell they were being loved and well taken care of. Her updates gave me such peace of mind while I was traveling. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave my pets — highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Oh, where do I even begin? Raina sitter showered Benji with so much love and attention! They made sure to follow all of Benji's special needs. They even took the time to learn about his quirks and preferences to make him feel comfortable. It was clear that they genuinely cared for Benji like their own furry family member. They truly went above and beyond to ensure his happiness and well-being. Benji couldn't have asked for a better caregiver! ?❤️?”
“Fatima did a wonderful job watching our Goldens and taking care of our home! She sent wonderful photos, followed our requests very well to make sure the pups were safe and happy :) we are very cautious who we trust our pups with and Fatima has been so trustworthy. We look forward to having her back again,we are repeat clients! :)”
“Jahaila was amazing and so communicative! Our minds were at ease the entire time we were gone. She sent us tons of pictures and let us know everything that was happening with the pups. We will definitely be calling on her again in the future!”
About: I love all pets like my own, pet sitting and helping their owners has always been something that makes me truly happy. I have been taking care of my dog and friends’ pets for over fifteen years and more officially started pet sitting for clients five years ago. I have experience with cats and dogs small-large, all energy levels, senior pets, and with administering medications. I currently work 10-20 hours a week, I unfortunately do not have a set schedule but very willing to move shifts around and/or request off days. That is why I labeled my availability as every day because I can be flexible! At clients’ homes I always respect their rules, their home, and their privacy. I will make sure to do exactly what the clients want for their animal. When I take care of pets in my own home I, of course, have the same respect for the clients’ rules. As far as potty breaks, I live in a fourplex so when I take dogs out to use the bathroom I go to a large area of grass at the back of my building. For walks, I either walk around my neighborhood or I can go to dog parks.
“I highly recommend Dylan to watch your pet. He was amazing with our Bella. He took her to our local dog park daily and spent time playing with her and cuddling her. He put up with her crazy antics and loved on her. He provided multiple updates throughout the day and trip. 12/10 recommended.”
About: Not only am I an animal lover, I have been a dog trainer for the last 18 years and a Pet First Aid & CPR instructor since earlier this year. I have worked with all kinds of animals and am familiar with a large range of behaviors. I also volunteered at different shelters for over 8 years. You can trust me with your pet. I am currently a professional dog trainer with availability for pet care throughout the week. I can be flexible for mornings, evenings and weekends, working around my training schedule. In clients homes I follow the guidelines provided by the pet owner. We discuss any clarifications before the job begins ensuring we have a mutual understanding on what is needed.
“Jessica was AWESOME. She went above and beyond to take good care of our pets. We would love to have her back again when we are in need of a pet sitter. With 2 large dogs and 3 cats to care for and entertain she was amazing at keeping up with them and getting to know each of their personalities to better care for them. Thank you Jessica for allowing us to be gone and enjoy our time away knowing you were taking such good care of them.”
About: I've been pet sitting for over 4 years and I have several highly satisfied and repeat clients. I'll love your little friends like my own till you come home :) I've watered garden, given meds, taken care of chickens and goats, done post-surgery physical therapy... I got you, whatever your pet needs. I have a day job but I'll take care of your place in the morning and evening and midday if need be, plus staying overnight to assuage overnight anxiety for your little ones Anything they need in the morning: food, water, pills, potty time. Same deal at night, then cuddling till we go to sleep. Most days I can hang out with them in the middle of the day too.
About: Hi there! 👋 One thing that really sets me apart is my ability to read animals. Pets have their own little language, and I pay close attention to it. For example, when I’ve pet sat for a friend, I noticed their dog Rosie does something adorable when she wants treats or a walk, but when she’s hungry she quietly cries. Those small cues matter! I’ve been caring for their two cats and dog for about a year now, which has taught me how to multitask, follow detailed instructions, and stay consistent with feeding schedules, walks, and clean-ups—all while making sure pets feel safe and loved. I also watched my roommates’ cats during a 10-day trip, keeping up with their food, water, and litter daily. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and I truly believe they’re family. I always treat every pet with kindness, patience, understanding, and respect—just like I would my own. I have open availability and can provide pet care or house sitting whenever needed. I genuinely enjoy helping people and caring for animals, so I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your schedule. Your pet’s routine and comfort will always be a priority for me! One of my greatest strengths is patience. I care for every animal as if they were my own loved one. I’m very attentive and proactive, always staying aware of my surroundings and your pet’s behavior to ensure their safety and comfort at all times. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet elsewhere, I follow instructions carefully and prioritize trust, calm energy, and consistency.
“Hayley stayed with our two pups for a 2.5 week-long trip. We were out of the country and anxious to be so far away from the pups for so long, but Hayley took great care of them as well as our home. She checked in with us almost daily to provide updates even with the time change being significantly different. We have no doubt our pups were well cared for!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life. I have a dog of my own named Finn who is very friendly and loves having other dogs around. My friends and family trust me to watch their dogs, which range from golden retrievers, herding breeds, and pitties too! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I work from home with my dog Finn. I build in lots of mini breaks so I am able to take lots of play breaks with the dogs and make sure they are having fun. Doggy Daycare Hours 8-6PM. I am happy to accommodate extended hours for this. Just ask and we can discuss pricing. I can accommodate two walks per day when boarding your dog depending on your dog’s needs. If they like to just hang out on the couch and cuddle, so do I! I have a fenced in property that your pup can run around in and explore. They will always be under supervision and under an especially close eye while enjoying the yard. While inside, your dog will always be in the same room as me unless they would prefer to roam around the house. It’s up to you with what you feel comfortable with. I am happy to send pictures throughout the day at your request. I will ensure your dog is in good hands and treated as my own!
“Danielle was great. She was very communicative and suggested a meet and greet, which was appreciated. I also liked receiving photos and updates during her stay. Danielle took Winston for a walk each day and ensured he also got his ball-time throughout the day. (A tired large puppy is a happy large puppy) She left before I arrived home - which was discussed and planned, no surprises - and before she left she even found a dog-related movie to put on TV for background noise. The extra attention to detail was cute and very much appreciated! I will definitely ask her to return. You can trust her to take care of your home and pet.”
About: I absolutely adore all animals, big or small or if they bark or meow.

Also available to spend the night if needed I will care for your fur babies in your home as instructed. Will stay for play time after all of the food has been served

Heather is a wonderful pet sitter! We were nervous to leave our dog and bunny for a two week trip as we had never left them for so long before. Heather took great care of both of them and made us feel at ease enough to actually enjoy our vacation! She even came through for us (and the pets) when we encountered numerous flight delays and cancellations on the way home. She was able to extend her visit and made sure they were looked after until we finally made it home. We’re so thankful for her help and will be booking with her again!
We appreciated Brandy’s thoughtful and responsible care for our three babes!! It was clear that they each felt loved, while we were away, and Brandy updated us with any questions or happenings as necessary. We truly felt at ease leaving her in charge with our fur babes and home!! Thank you Brandy!!
Zair watched my animals, 3 cats and a senior dog. She took great care of them, sending lots of pictures and videos. My cats are shy but I got pictures of each one daily. They seemed to really like her, they were doing all their normal activities. I found cat toys that they haven’t played with for years, so I know they had a blast. My older dog got walked at least once per day, and Zair reached out any time she had questions or noticed somthing was not as I had said it would be. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat
Drew was phenomenal with Meeko and Belle. I was traveling abroad for two weeks, and it was such a blessing to find someone who can genuinely care for blind pets—especially an elderly one with a younger, mischievous sibling. Drew was incredibly responsive, sent regular updates, and took amazing care of both the pets and the house. Belle is blind, senior, and sometimes experiences separation anxiety, but Drew was patient, gentle, and attentive with her. Meeko is a curious troublemaker, and Drew kept him stimulated while keeping the “trouble” under control. I’d 100% recommend Drew to anyone. I’ve already told my coworkers and friends—he’s truly exceptional.
I highly recommend Dylan to watch your pet. He was amazing with our Bella. He took her to our local dog park daily and spent time playing with her and cuddling her. He put up with her crazy antics and loved on her. He provided multiple updates throughout the day and trip. 12/10 recommended.
Karmen was absolutely fabulous! She sent me pictures, Daley and the picture. Set it. All my dog. Coco is so happy.! I was able to focus on out of state business without feeling anxious, and knowing the cocoa as well cared for. She stayed at my house, which also made me feel safe and have a extra piece.
Fatima has cared for our dogs twice so far and we highly recommend her as a sitter. Our dogs love her, she is great with communication and very friendly. Overall we have been very happy and worry free when working with Fatima. We know our dogs are loved and safe with her.
Highly recommend Adina! Will definitely ask her if she will take care of our 4-legged fur babies again and again in the future. Adina took great care of our pups; responded to Rover messages right away; shared pictures; took time to come out and meet the dogs and go over everything ahead if time; totally punctual; friendly, and did an excellent job at keeping the dogs away from skunks! Thank you Adina 🙏🏾
We feel so lucky to have found Mikhaila to care for Sierra! We didn't have to worry about anything while we were away. Mikhaila is dependable, personable, and a good communicator. She is attentive to Sierra's needs and has taken good care of our home during her stay. We will definitely be repeat customers!
Nadya did a fantastic job taking care of my little sweetie. She had great communication, and sent photos and videos daily. She also left my house in perfect condition. I couldn’t be happier with the service she provided and will definitely use her to watch our little dog again.
Matt was fantastic!! Our sweet pup definitely didn’t want him to leave after a fun day running around. Matt went above and beyond with communication and followed my instructions perfectly with my pup’s special diet. Matt even communicated the day before about the treats my dog likes/is allowed and brought our boy tons of treats and they spent some time running next to the lake! I mentioned to Matt that our boy has some issues pulling on the leash on walks, and Matt trained with Bak all afternoon and gave me a ton of tips for the heel command - INCREDIBLE! I couldn’t believe it, what I’ve been working with Bak for 5 years, Matt got through to him in his short stay. Really can’t wait to work with Matt again, I also REALLY appreciated all the photos, videos, and updates I got of Bak. I also asked Matt to water my plants while housesitting and my plant babies thrived under Matt’s care as well. Thank you times a million, Matt!
Adena and Adam were amazing, and give my highest recommendation for anyone looking for help with pets! They house/dog sat for an active 4 year old “puppy” for three weeks, and kept him active and happy. Great communication both before and during the stay including texts with pictures and videos. I felt confident that my dog was safe and well cared for. I am grateful for all they did and will definitely be calling on them again! 💕
I cannot recommend Kylie enough. She was absolutely amazing with my pets and followed the detailed schedule I gave her to a T. She always made sure to wake up early to care for them, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I could tell she genuinely cared about their well-being and went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and happy. Communication was great, always sending me photo updates and I felt totally confident leaving my pets in her care. I will definitely be booking with her again!
