“Arika became fast friends with my dog, Phoebe. I felt completely at ease leaving Phoebe with her for the weekend and having Arika stay in my home. She sent lots of pictures, which was so appreciated. And she spent the majority of the time at home with her so Phoebe had someone to cuddle and play with. Thank you, Arika. I would definitely recommend Arika as a dog sitter and will be requesting her again.”


About: I have worked at an animal clinic since I was 17. I also have lived with animals my whole life! I have been told before that I am a cat whisperer at work. I work from 6 am to 1 pm. I also usually have classes from 3-5. However I can work anytime before and after that. If there are any issues I can work with you to make a better schedule! I treat animals like children, a lot of care and kindness is given. It’s important to me that every pet I work with is happy healthy, and have their needs taken care of.

“Ella did an amazing job house sitting for me this weekend! She was responsible, communicative, and left my home in perfect condition. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in her care. Highly recommend her!”


“Lauren is wonderful! This was the second time she’s watched my kitty when I was out of town. Great communication. Several pics shared everyday. Will be using Lauren again when I’m out of town next!”


“Clover did a great job taking care of our EB after his surgery. She kept a log of his meds, food, and sent pictures of both dogs. Already booked again!!”


“LAINA was a God-send for me this past week. Truly, she made me feel comfortable knowing that my PIXIE DUST 🐾 would not be alone while I was away. She was respectful in my home, she was phenomenal with my dog, and she was considerate in sending me photos and videos on the daily. Welcome to our family, Laina. I will trust only you with caring for my Furry Best Friend 🐾”


“Isaac is truly wonderful! He communicated frequently with us about our pup, sent photos & video, and was flexible to accommodate a delayed flight arrival.”


“Kelsey was great and saved me on a last minute trip. Taco my pup is always shy and anxious whenever I leave home but Kelsey was able to stay with him and make him feel comfortable so I didn’t have to worry about him while I was away. She gave plenty of updates and pictures and was very detail oriented when it came to instructions! Would definitely recommend to anyone needing her services! Thanks Kelsey!”


“We highly recommend Dylan’s services, especially if you have pets that need special attention and/or you require house-sitting services. Dylan went above and beyond to care for our dogs and our home! Because one of our dogs—a deaf, senior, Boston Terrier w/multiple health issues—is particularly high maintenance and we were to depart quite early in the morning, Dylan was amenable to coming to our home in advance for a meet and greet and to get up to speed w/atypical feeding and fairly extensive medication, our household needs, etc. We really appreciated his willingness on that count! During our 5 day trip, Dylan remained very attentive to our dogs and their needs and sent many photos to document. He was quick to respond when we checked in but did not hesitate to also let us know if he observed anything out of the ordinary. We received loads of pictures each day to let us know all was well. Since Dylan’s primary work is remote, he was able to be onsite with our dogs and our home not only overnight but much of each day as well. Between multiple walks each day, Dylan retrieved packages and mail, watered outdoor plants and more. Then Dylan again went above and beyond for our return. Our quite late return flight meant we didn’t return home until midnight. Dylan was more than accommodating. Upon our return we found happy, well-cared for dogs and our home in as good or better condition than when we left.”


“Emily was wonderful! She is kind, responsive, and flexible. She was very accommodating when I needed to make last minute schedule and care changes. She was able to effectively exercise my big/hyper dogs and they seemed to love her.”


“Ingrid was the best! She house sat for me and watched my Nadja for about a week. It’s hard to leave your puppy behind and even more so when you’re trusting a stranger to not only watch your puppy but also stay in your space. However, Ingrid does not operate like a stranger! Nadja loved her, Ingrid communicated with me multiple times a day/night with updates, pictures, videos AND I came back to my space exactly as I left it—if not better. What more could you want? Plus, Ingrid left the sweetest “Pawgress Report” for Nadja and it was such a cute touch. Ingrid is thoughtful, communicative, and can be trusted. I know my pup and my place were well taken care of in my absence. I’m hoping Ingrid is free next time I’m out of town because I know I can rest easy with Ingrid here!”



“David is an exceptional sitter. He quickly made us feel comfortable about taking care of my house, 3 dogs and saltwater aquarium while I was on vacation. He sent so many fun updates during my time away, and I came back to a spotless house and happy pets!”

“Holly has a very sweet, kind nature and Buddy clearly had a good time with her when I was gone. :) Holly is very communicative and kept me updated with pictures as well. Reliable. Friendly. Flexible. I’ve already put in for another booking and there’s no better signal of satisfaction than repeat business.”


“Grace was great! She offered to meet up and meet my pups beforehand, took time to ask questions and followed up with check-ins and photos. Would definitely book again and recommend!”


“Kendall saved the day! We planned a pretty last minute weekend getaway and thankfully, I landed on Kendall! She was amazing and extremely personable, which made me comfortable leaving my home and pooch in good care! Ram absolutely loved her! She sent plenty of pics and updates on my baby. I highly recommend using Kendall! I will be using her services in the future! Thanks Kendall!”


“Michelle was a rock star! She house sat my senior cat for a week and I couldn't have been more pleased with her professionalism and care/love of animals. She really put me at ease while I was half way across the country. My cat immediately took a liking to Michelle and trusted her from the beginning with food, play, and just existing. She went above and beyond! Will definitely book again.”


“Couldn't have been better. My dog was very lucky to have Bailey babysit:)”


About: I have a deep love for all animals and currently share my home with three wonderful dogs that I adore. In recent years, I've dedicated myself to rescuing, fostering, and rehoming stray dogs, which has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I'm currently a full-time college student, but I have a flexible schedule and am available on weekdays and most weekends. I spend much of my time at home with my dogs, ensuring they follow a structured, healthy routine. Two of my three dogs are rescues, and through my experience, l've learned that an animal's actions and attitude often reflect the care they receive. My approach to working with animals is centered on creating a calm, loving, and patient environment where they feel safe and understood. I am currently going to college full time and am available every week day and most weekends. I spend most of my days at home with my dogs and try to keep them on a very organized and healthy routine. I have three dogs, two of which are rescues. In my experience animals actions and attitudes are most often a reflection of the individual caring for them. In my interactions with animals I seek to provide a calm, loving, and patient environment.

About: Growing up in a household filled with a variety of pets ignited my passion for animal care from an early age. My diverse experience includes working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I developed my skills in providing attentive care and creating a nurturing environment for pets. I’m also experienced in administering medication and grooming, ensuring every furry friend receives the attention they need. Whether it’s a playful pup or a gentle senior, I strive to make every pet feel comfortable and loved. I currently have a remote job with a highly flexible schedule that allows me to step away from desk as needed, and my weekends and holidays are usually open as I am a home body. I prioritize safety, trust, and a welcoming environment in my pet care. I pet-proof spaces, supervise interactions, and get to know each pet's personality while keeping owners informed. By offering engaging activities and tailored care, I ensure pets feel comfortable and loved.

“Denise has been taking care of Poogie the Pug since she was a baby. She helped recommend the brand of dog milk to help nurse Poogie. And when Poogie no longer wanted to use the bottle but still needed milk she got creative on how to serve it to her. Poogie is a bit of a wild dog and Denise has always been patient and caring for Poogie. I’ve never had a second doubt when it came to Poogie’s livelihood when she was in the care of Denise.”
