Erin was amazing! I always stress when I leave my pets but I know they were in good hands. She communicated effectively and I knew I didn’t have anything to worry about, would 100% have her watch them again.

We were nervous trying a new pet sitter. But there was no reason to worry. Kayla was fabulous at caring for our dog including her favorite play activities. Kayla is also a great communicator. Clear, informative updates with fun pictures of our dog. We will use Kayla again!! Thanks Kayla. Emma says hi!

Stacey did a wonderful job taking care of our Hooch for a week. Hooch is an older guy, on a few medications and Stacey was great with his meds and monitoring his health throughout her visits. Her communication was great and frequent with lots of pictures, which we appreciated. Without hesitation we would have Stacey take care of Hooch again, and we highly reccomend her.

Maegan was absolutely wonderful!! She precisely followed all of our cat care instructions and sent pictures and updates for the visits. She was also very understanding when we had to change the dates for our trip. Maegan took great care of our furry girls and we will definitely use her in the future.

About: Years of firsthand experience have equipped me with an innate understanding of dogs' needs, behaviors, and preferences, enabling me to create a nurturing and engaging environment for my furry visitors. Working from home allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine, ensuring that my furry companions receive ample attention and care throughout the day. With a flexible schedule, I can prioritize regular walks, play sessions, and feeding times to meet their needs. Whether it's taking short breaks for cuddle sessions or incorporating outdoor activities into my lunch break, your pup will never be far from my side. What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my extensive experience coupled with the ideal setup of a fenced-in backyard and my loyal canine companion. My backyard serves as a safe and stimulating space where dogs can play, exercise, and socialize under my watchful eye, enhancing their overall well-being and enjoyment during their stay. Having a furry companion of my own adds an extra layer of comfort and familiarity for visiting dogs, fostering a sense of camaraderie and companionship that sets my dog-sitting service apart from the rest.

About: I have cared for pets my whole life. Starting at a very young age with neighbors and family pets. My love for pets grow every day. I help humane society and other animal charities as much as possible, as it pains me to see ANY animal go unloved or cared for.

I have a lot of time to fill in between clients and days off and I look forward to you committing myself to your pet needs! I currently do not have a place to provide pet care at home but will be happy to meet your pet needs at your home or in your neighborhood for walking! I do drive so I can drive to dog parks as well!

This is our first time using the app and we are so pleased!! Stacy is AWESOME!! We scheduled drop in visits. Our trip came up unexpectedly so with short notice Stacy was flexible and she figured out all the things I forgot to mention. For example, where the outside lights were and where the laundry room and sink were, etc, I was also able to modify our visits. She was in contact with us during our trip and I knew our kittens were in good hands!! She even brought in a few unexpected packages:) I would highly recommend Stacy as a pet sitter!!

Great dog sitter, can tell he’s been around dogs forever. My dog can be aggressive, especially to strangers and he knew how to deal with her. She loves him after 3 visits. Highly recommend!

Casey was great with our rambunctious, high energy dog. He came to the house, timely. Spent time outside with him, playing fetch and wearing the dog’s derrière out, so when I got home, after long, 12 hour shifts, the dog was content. This helped minimize any destructive behaviors, I might otherwise have had from a high energy dog, after being cooped up for 13 hours. He even played in the rain with him. Highly recommend and will definitely use him again.

About: I’ve grown up with rescue dogs my entire life and understand dogs specific needs and concerns. All dogs have a unique personality and deserve unique care based on everything about them! I’ve raised my 3 year old vizsla since she was 8 weeks old and have definitely learned how to care for a pup that can be needy & require a unique way of living. She grew up in NYC and has travelled to many states over the past year and has adjusted to changes in life seamlessly while I maintain her care. I am currently home full time and available to care for your dogs needs at any time. My vizsla and I love to go on walks/hikes around town and play in the backyard often so any dog would be a great addition to our routine. ample space for dogs to play indoors. My vizsla, Molly, is great with other dogs and loves to have a playmate and snuggle buddy! Butt scratches are essential to our daily life and your dog will get ample snuggles if they choose.

About: I’m available most days to play and care for your animals. I’d love to take them running, playing, and of course to snuggle them! You can expect that I will love your pets as if they are my own. I haven’t had a pet in about three years (my doggie of seven years unfortunately got sick and passed) so I’m looking to ease back into having a pet by doggie-sitting a bit before I commit to a full time furfriend. I’m very entergetic so I have no problem taking on your active pets but I also like quiet time and movies for your more laid back animals. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! I’m currently working part time and travel on weekends so I have a pretty flexible schedule to play with your pup! If I’m traveling in gone most weekends, and if I’m working it mostly afternoons. At this time I am not doing boarding but I like to ensure that your pet feels safe with me in your home while house sitting by doing a visit prior to the booked stay.
