“Maryjane was just Wonderful Sitter. Cozmo was so comfortable and happy! Maryjane kept me informed which was wonderful and so nice to see Cozmo and Maryjane getting along. I would recommend Maryjane to dog sitter anytime she is just Marvelous! Thank You Gail and Cozmo?❤️”
“Misty is a lifesaver, so happy we connected. She stayed at the house with my Malinois for 4 days and when I got home, my dog was happy and healthy, and the house looked like Misty wasn’t there (she cleaned, did laundry, and left no trace). The peace of mind is priceless and I recommend Misty.”

“This was our 1st time using a service like this and let me tell you Emely is truly amazing. She went above and beyond caring for our girls and made the experience amazing. From daily pictures to extra snuggles with our girls we truly couldn't have asked for anyone better.”

About: Ive taken care of animals ever since I was a kid and walk dogs to make money as a side hustle. I love my job. Im available anytime. Monday through Sunday any time of the day. My schedule is fully open. Anytime after 8 and before 9 o clock at night. I have a huge area of grass behind my house so I have plenty of space for a dog. Plenty of fetch and other dogs to occupy them.
About: As a pet owner almost my entire life, I strive to make sure the pets I'm caring for and the owners who love them have a sense of peace of mind. I love taking photos of the owner's pet throughout the day, providing updates, reminders, and adorable photos to help the owner feel comfortable and happy while their pet is being cared for. Letting strangers take care of your pet can be nerve-wracking, especially if it's for a long period of time or it's their first time not having them by their side. If the owner ever has any questions or requests during my time with their pets, they should never hesitate to ask me at any time! :) As a volunteer at a horse rescue, I get to take care of many different animals weekly. I've had the pleasure to exercise, bathe, groom, and maintain a clean and safe space with so many different animals from all walks of life, regardless of background. From fearful to ferocious to even just emotionally shut down, I will always pride myself on never seeing a scared or aggressive animal as a "lost cause". I believe that every animal is a living, breathing, thinking being who deserves the utmost care and respect. I'll be sure to ask the owner about any preferences or rules before entering a client's house. I'm always sure to create a schedule or list with any feeding times, exercise routines or routes, and making sure to be respectful of a person's home. I pride myself on leaving a home exactly as I found it, including cleaning up after their pet, filling the pet's water bowl before I leave, and making sure that toys are neatly put away in their designated place. No matter the species, I'll always make sure that the customer's pet is happy and healthy before I leave a home.
About: I’ve lived my whole life surrounded by animals. I grew up with many dogs and cats but I currently have five cows, one horse, four dogs and three cats. I am a full time college student but my classes are mainly in the afternoons and I have no classes on Wednesdays. My weekends are usually very open. I will stick to whatever the pups schedule is. When they need fed, if/when they need to be walked and I will play with them as much as they want me to and treat them like they are my own little pup. I can also care for any disabled dogs as I have a deaf, three-legged pup myself.
“Hailey was amazing! She took great care of our Zeus and our house while we were away. She sent tons of photos to keep us up to date and will definitely use her again if needed.”

“Jessica was wonderful. We were apprehensive in the beginning because we have always had family watch our dogs. My male boxers takes awhile to warm up to people. She was kind enough to come to our home twice for a meet and great to make sure he would get along with her. We have 3 dogs in all and sure enough in no time he became great friends with her. Jessica stayed in communication with us on our 7 day trip and made us feel at ease and able to enjoy our vacation. We came home to 3 happy dogs who now have a new best friend. Our home was in perfect order and clean when we arrived home. She even washed the sheets on our bed and replace with fresh sheets. She did not hesitate to text if she had any questions. She sent wonderful pictures of our dogs during our vacation. I highly recommend Jessica for bookings. I will continue to use her for any upcoming vacations or weekend getaways. I give her a 5 star rating.”

“Amy is phenomenal! She is responsive and listens to your preferences on the care for your babies. She is thorough and follows through on instructions. I will definitely hire her again and recommend her services.”

About: My morals represent a caring, loving, sentimental, responsible pet owner who has cared for friends and family members pets. I definitely care above and beyond. I currently express to show my love and care for others pets as I lost my 14 year old American Foxhound early this year. We were very active together enjoying hiking, dog park adventures, her first beach trip together and sharing our kindness with all who encountered us during our visits. Safety is my first priority for your loved pet. I make accommodations for their comfort and well being a huge priority, for me it's first.
“Edward was amazing!! Our original sitter canceled before a holiday weekend and Edward agreed to dog sit for us very last minute. He sent updates and was very respectful of our home, we’d definitely book again!”

“Kimberly did a great job. Jasmine seem to love her. Kimberly sent me photos and kept me informed. She was very professional and friendly. Will definitely hire her again to look after my dog.”
“Second time having Angela come watch my fur babies. She stays in our home for a few days and nights… keeps the place tidy, sends photos and she has done fantastic with my dogs and two cats. I’ll be booking her again, and again.”

About: I have experience with all different types of pets from puppies to seniors pets and I’ve grew up around animals my whole entire life ! I work at a hospital and at an elementary school my availability is very flexible and open to care of all fur babies thankfully :) I care for your fur babies just like I would with mine if there’s anything in particular you need I’m more than happy to accommodate!
“Terry was great! We were visiting Florida from out of town and needed a sitter for 8+ hours with fairly short notice. Our sweet pup isn't always a fan of strangers - especially when we're leaving him with them. Terry was able to win him over - and even sent me a video of her giving him a belly rub! Not only was she willing to stay with him the entire time, but she brought him two toys - one being a stuffed alligator which has become his favorite since we've returned home! Terry clearly loves animals and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to spoil their pet while they're away - she's Dudley approved!”

“Elizabeth really made me comfortable with this whole process. I had no idea what to expect and I got my puppy only a few months ago. My dog immediately loved her. She updated me, took good care of Mila, and went above and beyond to have mila active and on her same schedule.”

About: What Pet Parents Can Expect Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 35 years of experience caring for pets of all kind, from pampered pups to quirky cats, bunnies, and everything in between. When your pet is with me, they’re not just getting care, they’re getting love, snuggles, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I specialize in senior pets, special needs animals, and those who just need a little extra TLC. Whether your fur baby is shy, spunky, or somewhere in between, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. You can expect: Regular updates with cute photos and notes A calm, nurturing environment A clean, safe space for play and rest Patience, reliability, and tons of love Experience with administering meds and handling special diets Think of me as your pet’s favorite extended family member, the one they’re always excited to see! Hope to meet your dog(s), cat(s), horse(s), etc soon! :) Pet care isn’t just part of my day. It is my day. From sunrise snuggles to sunset strolls, my entire routine revolves around the animals I care for. Whether I’m feeding breakfast to a sleepy pup, giving midday meds to a senior cat, or ending the evening with playtime and cuddles, every moment is planned with pets in mind. Caring for animals has been my lifelong passion, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m always home or nearby, so your pet will never feel alone or neglected. This isn’t just a job to me. It’s who I am. When your pet stays with me, they become part of my heart and my home. The care I provide is 100% customized to whatever that pet's parents do as a routine with them. My goal is to make their stay with me as close to what they are used to as possible.
