“Our pet crew loved Brandy! She sent updates with pictures everyday, and the dogs and cats looked happy and well cared for. We felt comfortable that they were good hands!”
“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 is wonderful! She recently house-sat for 4 nights while I was out of state. My kitties were so spoiled by all of the attention they got! I received updates & pictures multiple times a day, and she left my home in better condition than I left it in. Truly—she vacuumed up excess cat hair, and laundered & re-made the guest bed. She is such a kind, respectful, responsible person. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Zair was an excellent cat sitter for my little ones. Prompt, responsive, communicative, and helped my cats feel comfortable during my time away from home. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Brie did an awesome job. She was very flexible in scheduling, coming over to meet the pups and go over instructions. She sent pics of the pups and all of pups seemed to like her very much!”
“Thank you Raina. You did a wonderful job taking care of my animals. My Bearded Dragon looked well loved and well exercised. That took patience on your part! Thank you for dealing with a senior dog.”
“Johnna was a wonderful and attentive caretaker for our little fur family! We got lots of updates and pics which we loved. She was able to come by a couple times before we left so our doggo could get to know her and her super sweet pup, Bonnie. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing experience with our pet sitter! Her communication was outstanding from start to finish. She always responded promptly, kept us updated with pictures, and checked in whenever she had a question or wanted to clarify something. We really appreciated her willingness to ask rather than make assumptions—it showed how much she cared about providing the best care possible. She was incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful, and it was clear that she genuinely loves animals. Our pets absolutely adored her, and we could tell from the photos and updates that they were happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of attention while we were away. Knowing our furry family members were in such caring and capable hands gave us tremendous peace of mind. We are so grateful for the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter. We would happily book with her again! ❤️🐾”
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!
“I highly recommend Piper! She is so calm, capable and professional with animals. Piper cared for my 2 cats and 2 dogs while I was away on a 5 day trip and, after the excitement of my return, they all settled back down quickly into routine. This let me know the attention and care she provided in my absence. Even my older cat, who generally hides from everyone, took to her right away. You can rest assured booking Piper for your pet sitting needs!”
“We have a 3 legged dog who is very nervous, and not trusting of new people, he took to Dylan right away. Or other dog has medical problems and Dylan was able to apply her medicine and able to handle her without hurting her back. Dylan is very caring. We were also able to pay him to take us back and forth to airport, it was so convenient”
“Kaiya did a great job looking after our house and two goldens while we were out of town! The dogs were happy and the house was nice and tidy when we got back. Will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Absolutely the best sitter I have had!! She sent details of each day and the best pictures. My house and my dogs were well taken care of and I couldn't have asked for anything more!! Ashley is awesome!!!”
“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 :)”
About: I have dog sat my neighbors dog before multiple times, coming in to feed him, walk him 3x a day, play with him, and much more. Although I do not have dogs, I have grown up my whole life with cats. I have grown up with people who own dogs my whole life as well. I have also volunteered at a shelter and had cleaned out the dog kennels! I am able to be a pet sitter for the summer, as I will not be having any classes. I am free most the time, as long as you tell me 2 weeks in advance to insure that I can watch your dog or cat! I will make sure that your house is protected and safe, along with your dog. Of course I would lock all the doors and windows, as well as making sure that your furry friend is not in distress. Feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they do not need to go to the bathroom, and their safety is my top priority.
“Alyssa was terrific We had Alyssa stay with my senior boxer for a week, she took great care of her, walked her daily and sent me pictures every day. I was relieved to know she was in good hands. We will definitely use her again ❣️”
“Our first time booking a sitter for our 6-month-old Cavapoo and Michelle is awesome. Kept us updated on how he was doing throughout the night and even sent some pictures of him while we were away. Highly recommend.”

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.
