“Mary was great, it was a smooth transition with her and the dogs , they absolutely loves her . She took care of them like they were her own .same goes with my home . She kept me updated with pictures & videos every day & let me know if they had tummy problems etc .”

About: I have experience volunteering at several different humane societies, it feels extremely fulfilling and satisfying to me being around all the fur babies. I have owned and taken care of dozens of puppies/dogs throughout my life and have enjoyed every second of it. I have cared for 7 week old puppies to 15 year old dogs, big and small. Most recently, I was a long term foster for a senior dog and it was very rewarding. I've taken care of all my friends and family's dogs as well since I was 14 years old. I know how to bathe small dogs, trim their nails, read their body language, how to get their attention and how to play with them. I am also currently in school to get my degree in veterinary nursing. I believe that the life of an animal is no less precious than the life of a human being, therefore it's important that we love, respect and have patience for them. Right now I am a part time student but am typically available any days after 11am. Weekends I am free all day. Occasionally I do travel every other month but will let you know ahead of time. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like a member of the family. In my home, I create a safe, cozy, and stimulating environment where they can relax, play, and feel completely at ease. From setting up comfy spots for naps to ensuring plenty of toys and enrichment activities, their happiness is my priority. In your home, I maintain their routine to provide comfort and familiarity—whether that’s sticking to their feeding schedule, taking them on their favorite walking routes, or giving them belly rubs in their favorite spot. My goal is to make sure they feel loved, secure, and cared for no matter where they are!

“Angie is wonderful! We were so impressed with how she was able to build trust with our anxious beagle/collie mix. She was so patient, kind, and attuned. We are so appreciative of the great care she provided.”

“Josephine was great with Ezra! He loved having her around. She also sent plenty of pictures and was great at communicating throughout my stay. 10/10 sitter and already having her back. Don’t think twice about booking!”

“David did a great job watching my dog for 10 days. Super flexible, great communication, and very attentive -- awesome sitter!”

“Rylee has watched my senior girl many times and I’m so glad to have found her. My dog has several health issues and Rylee had no problems with taking on us as a client.”

“Niles is AMAZING! We have a nervous chihuahua that never calms but Niles was able to get him to settle so well! We had a great experience and have already booked for another house sitting! I felt so much better this vacation knowing Niles was with my boys!”

“I hired Mackenzie for a week to take care of my two high-maintenance dogs. She did wonderful! Not only did she make sure my dogs were taken care of, she sent me updates as the week progressed. One of my dogs was on prescription meds and she ensured that my dog was properly taken care of.”

“Easha house sat for me and took care of my two dogs. She is fantastic with the dogs (one of my dogs is a rescue and very stand-off-ish. She took to Easha quickly!). Easha sent pics daily to reassure me that everyone was happy. She's very trustworthy and respectful of others homes. I will definitely book her services in the future.”

“I’ve known nico for over 10 years and he is as loving and caring as anyone could be. Your pet will be well taken care of and loved deeply by him. Nico has always been very honest and trustworthy. He’s very good at communicating. I have been working full time with rover for over 7 years and Nico has my highest endorsement.”

“Natalie has been such a Sweetheart with my pup. Attentive to his high energy needs. Responsive and communicative throughout her stay. I love seeing the photos of her playing with my pup. She respectful of my home. I travel a lot and it’s good to know he’s taken care of while I’m away. Thank you.”

“Tom watched our 7 month old puppy and we couldn’t be happier. Our pup has a lot of energy and requires a lot of exercise every day which Tom happily provided. The house and yard were cleaner than we when we left. We received several pictures of our pet everyday so we felt comfortable about the stay all along, and communication was great. A very positive experience in every way.”

“Samantha is an amazing caregiver who never fails to make my dog happy! He’s always so excited when she watches him, and I’ve never had a problem in all the time she’s watched my lab.”

“Ryleigh’s watched my dog plenty of times and always cared for her like her own! She’s a huge animal person and has always had dogs so she loves giving pups all the love and attention they need. She sent pics throughout the day and made sure to keep me in the loop during check ins. Highly recommend Ryleigh if you want your dog to be in a good home or to have someone check in on your fur baby!”

“Nicole took great care of my senior girl. I’m always a little nervous to leave my dog because she has health problems, but Nicole reassured me and I came back to a happy dog.”

“Tanya was the first dog sitter I’ve had stay at my home with my two German Shepherds. They can be a lot and I was very nervous! Tanya came for a meet and greet and even dropped off a gift for the pup after that. She walked the puppy to help him feel more comfortable before I left. I was out of the country with no cell connection for 10 days and she was fabulous! I never worried about the house or the dogs and I came home to a calm clean house. She went above and beyond. She worked with them so much and it showed. She also gave my plants extra love and cleaned things I’d have never asked her to clean. I highly recommend Tanya for your pet and house sitting needs!”

About: Most of my experience has been from pets of family and friends. I have the upmost respect for animals and love to interact with them as they allow. I have some experiences with special care like food preparation and giving medications, just give some instructions and count on it being done. In my younger years I’ve had experience with caring for birds, although it’s been some time since then, I am fully capable. Hugs and pets are part of my services but only if your animal allows. I currently work full-time Monday- Friday, but I have a hybrid work schedule as I can be in the field most days and/or options to be remote. I have 1 cat currently who need medication 2x a day and has a special diet. I am very flexible with pet care and can do most things that your pet needs.

“Mariana is wonderful. She is a natural with animals. During our trip she kept us updated with pics of our pup and was a breeze to communicate with. She left our house in excellent condition! We will definitely be using Mariana in the future. So grateful for her excellent service!!”

“Emma did an amazing job watching our critters and home while we were away on short notice! She went above and beyond caring for them! We received updates with photos, and we came home to happy animals and a perfectly clean home. We'd highly recommend her as a sitter!”

“Allison was so great! She communicated often; sent updates and pictures and videos. She checked in with anything she was 100% sure on which I really appreciated. We will definitely use her again.”
