“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! ❤️”
“Alexis is fantastic! Immediately I noticed she had a nice peaceful energy, which is really important for my nervous girl. She gave me unprompted morning and evening updates with pictures, and never once did I worry or wonder how things were going. My home was also just as clean as I’d left it when I returned. Will absolutely be booking with her again, and for the long run! Thank you Alexis, Ms. Millie was so happy spending time with you! <3”
“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.”
“Rachel spent the whole day here yesterday with my 2 dogs and 2 cats for the first time. It went great 😊 Rachel is really kind. She will be watching all my pets for a trip I have to go on and I’m grateful I found her!”
“Shelby was amazing with our dog! He gets nervous around new people so we had a few little meet ups for him to be introduced to her before house sitting, which was very appreciated and definitely helped him warm up to her! She would update me frequently and send a lot of pictures throughout our trip. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future pet sitting needs and recommend her! Thank you, Shelby!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for five years now. I’m also a veterinary assistant, so I’m very caring and loving no matter how big or small! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine through scheduled visits where I prioritize feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions for each pet. I plan my day around ensuring consistent, reliable care and always make time for updates to pet parents. On a weekly basis, I stay organized with bookings and make sure each pet gets attentive, routine-based care that keeps them comfortable and happy. I’ll make sure your pet is cared for like my own while following your instructions closely. I’ll stick to their routine for feeding, walks, and meds, keep them safe and comfortable, and send regular updates with photos. I also make sure your home stays clean and secure throughout each visit. Let me know if there are any special details I should know!
“Rebekah is the sweetest! Took care of our puppies very well! She is very responsive and very good response to feedback and requests! She is efficient when it comes to last minute changes and updated!”
“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! ?❤️?”
“Sonjia is a very kind and compassionate person, you can sense that through her messages alone. My dog took some time to warm up to her but she was patient, communicative and friendly. Would book again! Thank you.”
“Erika was the best. It was my first time leaving Burton with a sitter. She sent me updates via text and was very kind and caring. I would request her again when I visit the area again.”
“Lisa is super communicative. I felt comfortable with her in my home and to watch my doggy. He's a super shy husky and she had the patience to work with him. Hope to have Lisa again next time :)”
“Diana is so kind and generous! We have two animals and she came over twice to make sure she understood how to take care of them. Each time, she was a complete delight and also she kept me updated with updates on how my fur babies were doing. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She will be our go-to sitter from now on”
About: I’ve grown up with (and pet sat) tons of different animals! I can work with dogs, cats, horses, goats/sheep, birds, reptiles, rodents, you name it! Cool with feeding, watering, potty breaks, administering medicines, cleaning, etc. I’ve been doing dog training for about two years now, and am comfortable working with fearful/reactive animals too. Tons of experience across all fields! I’m a part-time college student with a lot of time on my hands! I think pets deserve all the love and attention I can provide for them, and I’m happy to do just that. Following routines is my jam! Feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, just let me know what you and your furry friends prefer and I’m happy to follow your lead!
“Cheyenne was great! She was really on top of communicating and sent many cute pictures of Bambi while we were away to reassure us that Bambi was being well taken care of. She really went above and beyond. I would definitely book her again!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Johnna house-sat for us while we were away at a memorial service in Los Angeles, and she took care of both our cat and dog, and our house. She was fabulous. She went above and beyond, as usual. It is lovely to have someone so trustworthy take care of our home while we are away. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
About: I have had dogs all my life growing up. Honestly - there has never been a year in my life where I have not owned a dog. I have experience with small dogs to large dogs. I have volunteered for several shelters when I was younger. I have cared for senior dogs and dogs who have cancer. My dogs are spoiled and honestly, they are not pets but family. I love my dogs unconditionally the way they love me. I currently work from home all week. I am free to play, run around, and walk my furry family throughout the day. I am usually home during the day, in the evenings and on weekends. I have a fenced yard. The yard is large and has grass and play toys. I have two furry family dogs to keep your pet company as well. My home is dog friendly with multiple dog beds, toys, and treats. I have extra crates, leashes, harnesses, treats, bowls, and blankets.

Shelby is great! We have had her check in on our pets and now house sit and stay with them. Both times she has been amazing with them and very flexible with their quirks and behaviors when their parents aren’t home. Would recommend her and will use her again in the future!
Rebekah did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of my three cats. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly very comfortable with animals. I really appreciated the regular picture updates—it gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were happy and well cared for while I was away. She was also easy to get a hold of whenever I needed to check in. I came home to three very content cats and a well-kept home, which says everything. I would absolutely trust Rebekah again and plan to use her in the future. Highly recommend!
Dylan was great with our two dogs and cat, even providing extra help since one of our dogs was still recovering from a recent surgery. He was very respectful of our home and provided frequent, thoughtful and often humorous updates about all our pets! Would highly recommend Dylan to anyone as he is a true animal lover!
This was our first time booking with Piper. She took very good care of our Standard Poodle Bundles for a quick afternoon sitting at our home. She was prompt, punctual, easy to communicate with, friendly, and respectful of our home. Bundles took to her very well and became fast friends. We’d definitely choose her again for future sittings. Thank you for the Baklava. It was awesome!
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!
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.
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.
