“Tonia has been wonderful. Now that she's been watching our dog for a few weeks she has gotten to know him better and he is getting more comfortable with her. She gives great notes to let us know how he did and does a wonderful job getting him to actually pee every time she comes over to watch him!”


“Jessica is extremely kind and patient with my girls. We had a hiccup with the instructions that were left BUT she was very apologetic, it was a harmless mistake and no issues since. I trust that her attention to detail has been heightened and I truly believe that she just wants to take the best care of my girls while I’m away. I will continue to book with Jessica as my first option, my work schedule requires getting outside help to care for my girls so I’m looking forward to having Jessica drop in on my girls for as long as she’s able and willing.”


“We love Madison! I know that my dog is always well taken care of when Madison comes. She’s detail oriented, thorough and truly cares about my dog and his well being while she’s with him!”


“Laura did a great job with our kitties! She even took the time to bring in boxes from our porch. We have an older cat with an unusual no-litter situation which she was very willing to work with. It helped make our vacation less stressful knowing our boys were in good hands!”


“Andrea has been so good to my mini dachshund. My dog is sometimes anxious, stubborn, and can lash out a bit if she is triggered. But Andrea has remained patient and given me frequent updates on her visits. She is great!!”


“Misr is very personable. She came for a visit ( which was with my partner)aince it was her first time dropping in to care for the two dogs. We first video chatted and I knew I selected someone with pet experience and a real love and connection towards animals. Both of us felt the sincerity and warmth immediately. The dogs, one of which is not social both liked her spirit. Misty followed instrucions and requests to a t, was prompt and thorough. So glad I chose Misty to allow us to be gone Christmas day and not worry the dogs were in excellent care. Thank you for facilitating a break away from home and lovingly checkimg on our 2 dogs.”

About: Hi! I’m Dezstanie a dedicated and loving dog sitter with a true passion for pups of all shapes and sizes. I believe every dog deserves personalized care, and I treat each one like they’re my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, quiet cuddle time, or a game of fetch, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always make sure to follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions to a T. What sets me apart? I keep owners fully in the loop with regular photo updates, I’m great at handling dogs with anxiety or special needs, and I prioritize safety, comfort, and lots of love. With me, your dog won’t just be looked after—they’ll be genuinely cared for. Let’s chat and see how I can make your dog’s time away from you feel just like home. 🐶💕 I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule that’s perfect for caring for your pet. Your furry friend will receive all the attention and love they deserve while you're away! I provide loving and responsible care for your dog in my home. I follow your instructions carefully for feeding, walks, and any medication. Your dog will have plenty of attention, a safe space to relax, and regular bathroom breaks. I’ll keep you updated and ensure your pet feels comfortable and happy while you’re away.

“Elizabeth checked in on our kitty while I was out of the country for a week. I would absolutely book her again! She was always on time, super friendly and our shy cat loved hanging out with her. It was such good peace of mind having someone so reliable and friendly checking in on the cat, and I can't say enough nice things about her!”


“Steven is truly amazing! He showed so much care and attention to our 3 dogs. He is excellent with communication and we will definitely continue using him. I trust him with my dogs care and the safety of our home as well!!”


“Thanks again Kirstey for watching our boys! She let us know about the stool color of one of our dogs, it ended up being nothing serious but appreciate the attentiveness on bringing it to our attention.”


About: I have always had a special place in my heart for animals I have always wanted to work with animals as a child and I grew up around many. I have an unwavering passion for animals that has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s caring for pets, volunteering at shelters, or simply learning about different species, I feel a deep connection to all creatures and a strong desire to ensure their well-being. This passion drives me to advocate for animal rights, support conservation efforts, and educate others about the importance of treating animals with kindness and respect. Being around animals brings me a sense of peace and purpose, and I am committed to making a positive difference in their lives however I can I would treat them as if they were my own. Make sure all of their needs are fulfilled and importantly make sure they are happy!

About: I have had at least one pet from the day I was born. I’ve also dog sat for my family many times. I helped train my own and others dogs the basic commands. I am a college student on summer break with no job so I have all the time in the world to play, walk, and care for pets. I am attentive and active when caring for pets. I can easily follow any care instructions and build a bond with the animal. I make sure to pay attention to how they are responding to me / things to avoid any incidents.

About: I have (in the past) had both cats and dogs as pets. Currently, I dog sit for a couple friends or family members as needed. I’m a retired nurse. Other than some travel, I am available most days for dog or cat sitting in your home, dog walking or play time. I care for dogs by staying in the client’s home, feeding, walking, playing and spending time with the dog. Cats…same except for walking them..LOL. Play, feeding and spending time with cats.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own animals since I was 10 years old. Professionally I’ve worked as a receptionist at a vet clinic for the last 6 months gaining new knowledge every day. I know about giving medication and have experience. I also know general soothing techniques, and what signs to look for if an animal is sick. I’m currently working part time and available certain weekends and occasionally weekdays, usually Wednesdays and evenings. I’m extremely flexible with my hours and if given enough time I can make your schedule work with mine. I have a fenced in yard and leashes. I do have carriers and a crate if your animal would need that. I also have baby gates to block off rooms in the house.

About: I've owned animals all my life. I currently own one outdoor cat and 4 horses. I recently lost my dog of 13 years to cushings disease. I currently work part time at a horse boarding facility and previously worked for several years as a kennel techician. Traveling for a week every year with my family, I know it's hard to find good quality care for my pets. I'd love to be able to provide that care to the pets of other families. I work part time at a horse boarding facility 4 days a week (Thursday - Sunday). I work 2 shifts each day for 3- 4 hours each and have a 2-3 hour break between my shifts. So, I'm basically home every day. We live in a ranch home with a fenced backyard. I live with my Mom who is a big dog lover and would welcome your dog with open arms.
