“Kira was great! We hired her to come to our vacation AirB&B for two evenings when friends we were visiting didn't want animals in their home. Kira spent a few hours with our dog, so we could have dinner with our friends at their house. Kira arrived and was right away in control (clearly, she has some dog-handling experience), and our dog seemed happy. We'll definitely hire her again the next time we visit our friends!”


“Katherine was wonderful! She stayed overnight to watch our two pups and took such great care of them. She was respectful of our home and communicated with us throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, our dogs loved her and were happy and well-cared for when we got home. We would absolutely book with Katherine again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”


“Dave took excellent care of my dog. He asked great questions to get to know her, facilitated all her favorite activities, and provided a detailed report of their time together. I highly recommend booking services with Dave, he is my first choice for pet care!”


“Emily and Sarah were amazing with our dogs while we were away for the week. They not only cared for our pups with love and attention, but also kept the house spotless and treated our home with respect. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates—they gave us such peace of mind. Highly recommend!”


“Simply put….Exceptional! I cannot give Kathryn enough praise. Our pets are our family and she took that to heart. She kept us updated the minute she walked in the door with pictures and texts. She rarely left their side and any concerns she had she contacted us ASAP! I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation and my pets loved her as much as we did!”


“Jordan is fabulous. We had to book a house sitter at the last minute and Jordan responded quickly. We did a meet greet at our home with her and the dogs and we knew immediately Jordan was going to do awesome. She of took great care of our little guys and our house. Jordan is friendly, attentive to the dogs, and super easy to work with. She communicated throughout her stay giving us peace of mind knowing the dogs and our home were being well cared for. We will definitely use Jordan again !”


“Noelle took absolutely wonderful care of my dog (and chickens)! She was in touch ahead of time to confirm details and while I was away she sent me photos and updates on how things were going. (And I enjoyed a relaxing vacation knowing my animals were in good hands!)”


“Brittany was a great sitter for our puppy, Kya, while we were away for Thanksgiving. She was positive, caring and great at communicating updates throughout her stay. I would definitely recommend Brittany - we’ve already booked her in for the next time we’ll be away. Brittany, thanks for being so caring and thoughtful with Kya!”


About: I always been around dogs and animals my whole life and since I was really young I’ve owned a dog and have been taught how to take care of them. I’ve taken care of dogs of friends and family including dogs as young as a new puppy and as old as 13 years old. I would take close attention if there were any special details aswell. I am currently in college studying business and marketing. I am usually available most days a week and will always put animals before myself. I am trying to get more of a solid job soon, so availability may change soon. I always make sure that there is nothing of danger laying around in my house and in close reach of the dogs. And I would take the same care for another persons house as I would with my own, including keeping it clean and safe.

“Carolyn is amazing! She's super friendly and kind and our dog, Roxy, loved her immediately! Carolyn took Roxy on walks and hikes and took awesome care of her while we were away. She even went above and beyond and also took care of our daughter's leopard gecko during our time away. We will definitely book Carolyn again and 100% recommend her!”


“Kellie was fantastic with our Yorkie! She stayed in our home over the weekend and took very good care of our 5 year old teacup Yorkie. Kellie sent us updates and pictures and left our home spotless. We definitely recommend her and will use her again when we are out of town without hesitation.”


“Sara was amazing! She took great care of our pets and our home, and she kept us updated with daily pictures and messages. It’s always stressful having to leave your animals behind for a lengthy trip but Sara definitely kept our minds at ease. Thank you so much!”


“Courtney was a great house/dog sitter for us! She was prompt, professional, eager and enthusiastic. She took great care of our dog, taking her out for multiple walks and play-times each day. Gogo was a happy pup when we returned home! We’ll definitely book Courtney again in the future!”


“Olivia was an amazing sitter for our 3 dogs!! We were out of town for a long weekend, and she took great care of our pups and home. One of our dogs is especially wild, and Olivia handled her perfectly. She sent photo updates and respected our house and left it the same as we had left it! Any questions I had about the pups’ behavior while gone were answered promptly. We will definitely reach out to her again when we go out of town next!”


“Elizabeth left our house very tidy and our pets very happy! I really liked that she sent updates and pictures to let us know how everything was going. She answered my questions and check-ins quickly.”


About: I’ve been caring for my adopted cat, Eggy, for the past four years, and he’s the sweetest part of my life. I’ve also looked after dogs, including a coworker’s dog while their family was away and my aunt and uncle’s senior diabetic dog. I’m patient, dependable, and calm, and I love being outdoors so walks, hikes, and playtime are always a win. In my free time, I enjoy working out, making pottery, and reading. ☀️ I currently work from home full time so my daily schedule is pretty flexible. If needed, I can bring my laptop to work from as long as there is reliable WiFi. When meeting a pet for the first time, I am always aware of my demeanor and make sure to give them the space to approach me when they’re feeling ready. I keep a calm and patient demeanor to build trust with the new pet, and also make sure to find out if they have any favorite toys.

“Paris took care of Paloma for four nights while Paloma entered her first heat - Paris is knowledgeable and experienced with dogs and knew how to handle everything and gave us tips as well. We’re very thankful and absolutely recommend her to others! I know Paloma is already missing her!”


“Emese was amazing. We got daily updates about our pup. She took him for long walks and made sure he was happy while we were away. We’ll definitely use her again in the future if she is available!”


About: I grew up with two cocker spaniels in the home, one a senior and one a new puppy! I have also provided cat care for a family friend for 2 years. I’m currently working full-time as a RN. I work three 12 hour shifts a week and my hospital utilizes self scheduling. I can be adaptable and flexible for pet care. I live in a friendly suburban neighborhood that is pet friendly. Your fur baby will be in a safe environment! I can always crate your fur baby if needed:)

Grace H.
“Grace has a natural connection with animals that's clear whenever you see them interact. They treat every animal as if he/she was their own, and in the time I have known Grace they have always remembered feeding schedules, bathroom times, and play time with the animal they are taking care of. They also pay attention to specific traits of the animal, such as their favorite treats, favorite toys, things they like to do and don't like to do. I would trust Grace to take care of my pet for any amount of time.”

Emily has her own cat, which she adores and cares for with the utmost attention and affection, so she truly understands the needs of pets. I’ve trusted her to watch my cat, Lola, multiple times, and Emily always goes above and beyond to ensure Lola is happy, comfortable, and well-cared for. Her patience, reliability, and natural connection with animals make her an outstanding choice for any pet parent looking for someone they can trust. Emily’s passion for animals and her responsible, caring nature make her the perfect caregiver for your furry friends!”
