“Maggie was so great! She sent pictures and updates and I could tell Milo was very well taken care of! My house was in great condition when I got home and she even watered my landscaping to keep everything alive! I’m definitely going to be booking Maggie in the future!”


“Elyse is amazing! I’ve already booked my next vacation and talked about another one after that with her so my fur babies can be taken care of and I know they are in the best hands. She is such an animal lover and treats my fur babies like her own. I never had to worry about them while I was on vacation. She communicates, sends photos and asks questions if she doesn’t know. My neighbor who helps me with my dogs said she also me Elyse and said she was so nice and the dogs loved her and she was always out walking them when needed and was home with them! Thank you so much Elyse! It’s so great to be able to go on vacation and know your fur babies and home are being taken care of! We look forward to your next time!”


“Amanda provided good communication, asked good questions, and really paid attention to the details regarding our pet’s specific care. Amanda did a good job helping our pet stick to her regular daily routine while we were away. We are grateful!”


“Matthew was an excellent dog/house sitter. The dogs really enjoyed him and he really took care of them like they were his own. He communicates regularly and was an excellent houseguest. You would have no worries with him as your sitter. Highly recommend him.”


About: I’ve taken care of pets almost my whole life! Growing up I had two cats that I took primary care of. Then I had a dog and now a precious kitty. I worked as a volunteer for the humane society for almost 4 years as well. I have experience with special needs animals, senior dogs/cats, puppies, kittens, and everything in between- I even took care of a few ferrets! As a full time university student, I am grateful to have my summer (mostly) free! Other than specific unavailabilities, this allows me to remain flexible and open when it comes to scheduling! I treat all animals I encounter with equal respect and love— with your pet being no different. Being in college has given me further opportunities to offer pet services for my friends and peers, and have earned plenty of experience in drop-in visits! If I am visiting or staying at your home, know i will treat it with the upmost respect, just let me know your household preferences and I will respect them!

“Skyler was Great! She was quick to respond and made the entire process very easy! My puppy is only 10 weeks old and she took very good care of her, taking her outside to the bathroom and giving her lots of love! She always sent photos of my puppy throughout the night to keep me updated on how she was doing! Which held ease my nerves about leaving her for work at such a young age. I will definitely be booking again with Skyler :)”


About: Hi, I’m Natasha, a lifelong animal lover with 10+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other furry (or feathered!) friends. I treat every pet like family—whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I’m also happy to care for your home, bringing peace of mind while you travel. Reliable, loving, and attentive—your pets are safe with me! Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy early morning walks, midday check-ins, and evening wind-down time with pets, which fits seamlessly into my structured yet flexible schedule. Whether I’m working remotely, running errands nearby, or spending time at home, I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need throughout the day. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safe and relaxed in familiar surroundings. My approach is gentle, attentive, and tailored to each pet’s unique needs and routines.

“Faith made our trip comfortable and I knew our pup was in good hands. This was our first time using Faith as our sitter and look forward to her in the future! Thank you, Faith!”


“Averie did a great job! She followed all our preferences, checked in when there was a question, the dog clearly accepted her as a guest member of the pack, and the house looked great when we got back. Will definitely be re-booking!”


About: I have grown up taking care of puppies and dogs in our family my entire life including Potty & Behavioral Training. We have an amazing yellow lab named Buddy that I adore and love caring for every day! He is a member of our family and we love including him in all of our outdoor activities and trips. A lot of our friends and family rely on us for dog care, walks, help with training and overnight pet care which we love! I am at home during the day with a big fenced yard right next to a huge park so we are the perfect choice for dog sitting, walking, boarding, etc 😄 100% safe environment and care for your pet. I know that our pets are important and loved members of the family and I will treat your pup just like they were my own! I am a consultant and work remotely so I have plenty of time to do drop-in visits, walks and pet care during the week and on weekends! I spend a great deal of time getting to know the best way to interact with the animals I care for in order to build a trusting relationship with both pets and their owners.

About: We have plenty of property for animals to run and play! And a large home that is welcoming to humans and animals! We have a dog, 2 cats, 2 bunnies and chickens! I only work a couple of hours each week so I have plenty of time and energy to play with your pet! We have a dog that also loves having friends come over! We treat our dog, cats and bunnies as members of the family and will treat your pets the same! We look forward to caring for your pets!

Anna was wonderful with our two Boston Terriers, Lola and Harvey. She met with us in advance to meet with us and the dogs. We have now used her twice and were not only pleased with how she cared for our dogs but also watched over the house and kept things in order. Anna communicated with us during our trips and put us at ease that our dogs were in good hands.
