“Kristina is incredible and so empathetic to our dog’s wants and needs. He struggles with separation anxiety and Kristina was more than willing to accommodate to make him comfortable. We will absolutely be booking again!”


“Trevor took great care of Romeo and our home for us, and we would highly recommend him in the future. He gave us daily pictures and updates to keep us informed. Romeo got lots of exercise, and seems to miss Trevor now that he’s not here! We would love to use Trevor again, knowing Romeo would be in great hands.”


“Kaileigh did a great job taking care of our blind dog Teo. She was extremely responsive, responsible and neat as a pin. Kaileigh kept in touch with me regularly, and based on the videos she sent me, it was clear that Teo really liked her. Hooray! We'd happily book her again, and enthusiastically recommend her to others.”



“Rose did an amazing job sitting for my two dogs, Noodle and Boba! Thank you so much for spending quality time with them while I was away. She sent plenty of photos and videos, asked questions about their schedules and habits, and I could tell from it all that my pups had a great time and were safe and healthy with Rose. I will definitely be reaching out to Rose whenever I need a sitter. Thank you!”


About: While I was growing up, my family always had cats and dogs. I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have 7 pets. I have 2 rabbits, 2 Guinea pigs, a crested gecko, a cat and a dog. I have been volunteering at a rabbit rescue for 3 years. I have experience giving medication to dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs. I am comfortable around dogs of all energy levels. I work full time from home, 8-5 Monday to Friday. I will be available most weekday nights and weekends. Days and times can be flexible. If I am caring for a pet in someone’s home, I will be very respectful of their home and exactly follow their instructions as far as taking care of their fur baby.

Looking forward to many more future visits .”


“Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️”


About: I have owned dogs almost all my life and treat them as though they are my family. I have dealt with dogs who have to take medicine and dogs with different medical conditions. I have taken care of dogs of many different sizes from pugs to huskeys. I currently take care of my childhood dogs that live with my mother when she goes away. I am currently an unemployed college student, so over the summer I have all the time in the world to play, walk, and care for your pets! I will make sure that your pets follow all your house rules from putting them in a crate or not being allowed to use furniture.

“Jess was reliable and thoughtful. Hand feeding our puppy when he wouldn’t eat his food. We were able to enjoy our mini vacation, knowing that our puppy was in good hands.”


About: Hi! My name is Shelby. I am a dog owner and a recent graduate with a Bachelor degree in Animal Science on the path of becoming a veterinarian. I am looking to take care of pets of any size. I have experience from all over but the most significant one is my current workplace where I function as a veterinarian technician, so I’m more than confident in my pet handling skills. With that job comes responsibilities like medicating animals, watching and understanding body language, looking out for problematic symptoms, etc. all things I succeed in. At the practice I work at, we deal with dogs and cats of all different sizes and temperament, so do not be too worried if you book with me. With that being said, getting to meet your fabulous pet would be a great pleasure for me not only because I love animals but because it moves me forward in what I strive to become, which is, an understanding and caring doctor of veterinary medicine! I’m currently working full time as a veterinary technician. My schedule is Monday through Friday from 9AM-6PM, with an hour lunch break. I do have the weekends off. I have a fur baby of my own so I know how important it is to make sure whoever takes care of your pet is doing their very best and nothing less of that. I am an active listener so whatever you want me to do it will be done to a tee. Crating, giving medicine, enrichment activities, etc. are all things within my capabilities and even if something isn’t I will be sure to let you know beforehand. I have house sit before so updates on anything will always be given and I will leave your home just as it was. Your home and pet is like another part of you so I would never treat it as less than that.

About: I have 15 rats, 4 guinea pigs, 1 bearded dragon. I'm also a foster fail dad to an amazing sweet dog named Landon, who's a pit mix but he's the absolute sweetest, we recently adopted Landon a little sister, Cora Jean, who is a mixed breed. We also rescued a staffy mix named Indica. I currently work full time as dog bather for Petco, I have my schedule 8 weeks in advance but some times may need to be changed, thank you for your understanding!!! My friend Elliot is also logged into my account and can take requests that I can't, to help you guys out!! Unfortunately at this present moment I am unable to host due to Landon being dog/ people selective. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause

About: I follow instructions that are left for the pet, I interact with the pet alot and treat it as my own. I make sure it is given unconditional love and care that all animals deserve!! Part time in the afternoons or on the weekends with advanced notice. During the week after 5pm and on the weekends between 10am-9pm, unless it’s overnight then the hours are more flexible. I am in an enclosed apartment, that is spacious and has a patio for the pet to chill with fresh air. I also have a lot of areas to play around the complex that is friendly to four legged creatures, I live near numerous outdoor amenities including parks and beaches for the pet to explore. The entire neighborhood is very welcoming to pets and it could easily make a play date.

About: What sets me apart is my ability to blend genuine care with adaptability. I’m attuned to each pet's unique personality and needs, whether they’re energetic or shy. I also prioritize clear communication with pet owners, keeping them updated with photos and notes after every visit. My commitment is to create a stress-free, fun experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. i always make sure my pets have plenty of exercise and are always attended to whenever i'm taking care of my pets i make sure they're loved and that they feel safe but most importantly they're having a good time with me.

About: I love all animals but I have special place in my heart for dogs! I grew up with my family dog and have watched several of my family and friends pets over the past 10 years. I have trained my own dog and am always interested in learning new techniques to train. I enjoy all kinds of walks from strolls up the block to long hikes on trails. I currently do not have my own fur baby but am hoping by dog sitting/walking I will slowly convince my husband to adopt ASAP 😍 I work a hybrid flexible schedule where I am in the office usually Tuesday and Wednesday. I am also available most weekends with enough notice. I will obey any house rules when entering the home and/or while sitting for the pet. I will take care of any of the pets needs such as but not limited too walks, baths, feeding, administrating medicine, and also loving your pet!
