“Sophie was amazing!! We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter!! She was very nice, responsive, helpful, and just a joy to have stay in our home!! We will only be using her moving forward!! Highly recommend!!”


“Our dogs loved Rebecca the moment she walked in for the meet and greet. I'm so glad we were able to book her for our weekend away! We will definitely be using Rebecca again in the future.”


“Typically we book overnights with Jennifer with plenty of lead time. However, we had a death in the family and needed to travel out of state. I contacted Jennifer hoping she would at least be able to do a couple of drop ins/walks during our overnight. We were fortunate to book an overnight for the care of our pooch Fiona, and parrot, Wanda. Even during this short stay, Jennifer continued to work with Fiona on her leash manners, entering and exiting doors politely, and recall. Fiona and Wanda are regulars of Jennifer's, and we couldn't be happier!”

“Isis did an incredible job house sitting with our two Great Danes! We came home to a clean house, as well as two happy & well cared for pups. We also received great updates while we were gone, and Isis did a great job following all of our care instructions. We highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs :). Thank you. Isis!”


About: I started doing house sitting/pet sitting through families I cared for as a pre school teacher. It has grown to: “second families”, friends, co workers, references, etc. As sad as it is, I’ve also sat for animals in extremely poor medical conditions. This included going to the vet for meds. I had to gather a planner to keep track and trauma how I knew I was ready to begin doing more and more :) As I am writing this, I’m house sitting for a former co-worker. While working full time, I’m able to spend mornings/evenings and full days on weekends. I look forward to hearing from you! Please don’t hesitate to message and learn more! I look forward to speaking and honored to take care of your precious fur babies! I work a normal 9-5, and off on weekends! Always happy to help! I am flexible and easy to make a routine that fits you and your fur babies needs! I follow instructions very well for in the home, and love on your fur babies as if they are my own! There was isn’t anything I can’t handle! I also love snuggle bugs if you allow them in your beds! 😊

“Amazing sitter!! She did a meet and greet beforehand and was fantastic at communication! She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay, it was clear my dog was well taken care of the whole time!”


“Our pups loved Karen! They can be a little wild at times, but it didn’t seem to phase Karen at all. Karen also responds promptly and kept us informed about the dogs while we were away.”


“Highly, highly recommend Megan! Megan cared for our dog, like he was her own for the last week. She sent tons of pictures along the way, so we could see he was happy! She took him on adventures (which we said was great to do), walks, and lots of cuddles. She also helped with a shipment of frozen dog food that was supposed to arrive before we left. Our dog was sad to see her leave. We’ll definitely use Megan again!”

“Liz was conscientious and sent us pics of our pet while she was pet sitting. She was also on-time, we'll mannered, and an impressive young lady. We would use her again.”


“Julie watched our three pets for four nights while we were out of town and did a wonderful job. It was not the easiest situation as we have a highly anxious dog who is slow to warm up to new people and a high needs, elderly cat. We were worried about finding somebody to do all of the things involved in making it a stress free weekend for the animals, but Julie seemed to work magic and everyone was happy and well cared for while we were gone. Her communication was great and it was nice to get updates and know that I was OK back at home. We arrived home to happy animals and a very tidy house, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely have Julie over again the next time we go out of town. Highly recommend.”


“Triston took great care of our dog! She’s super timid, and she was great with Triston. He sent pictures and updates, and he was efficient with communication. We are traveling again in a few months, and we’ve already booked him!”


“This is our second time booking with Mackenzie, and hopefully not our last! She’s so great with our 2 older dogs that need medication daily. I heard from her each day and got some pictures of the girls. Dogs were happy and comfortable with her, which meant we could all enjoy our vacation without worry! Highly recommend!!”


About: Animals have been the heart of my life for over 22 years. I’ve raised and trained puppies cared for senior dogs with mobility issues and blindness and currently love my own elderly dog every day. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet not just to keep them safe, but to truly care for them in your absence. I am trained in dog CPR, comfortable giving oral medications and experience with special needs dogs. I’m also organized, reliable and active- happy to take your pup on long walk or runs, depending on what makes their tail wag. Your pet will be treated like one of my own with patience, love and a lot of attention. Pet care fits in seamlessly into my daily life since I work from home- I already care for my two dogs so adding in time for yours is a joy, not a disruption. I structure my days around check-ins, walks, playtime and making sure everyone feels loved and cared for. With a little planning and quick check-in for my own pups, I can be fully present for yours, making sure they feel happy safe and loved. When caring for pets in a client‘s home, I treat it like my own- with respect, care and attention to every detail. I stick closely to your pets normal routine to help them feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. I’m very intuitive and sensitive to your pet emotions; I pay close attention to their body language and energy to make them feel safe, calm and loved. I make sure that their needs are met with love and consistency. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how things are going.

“Samantha has been reliable and very responsive before, during, and after dog sitting for our sweet Willow! She has shown patience while Willow warmed up to her, which was very comforting to know she was well taken care of while we're away. I highly recommend Samantha and am excited we've found a great dog sitter for our girl!”


“Tianna house sat for us and cared for our two dogs, two cats, and hamster for five days. Came home to happy/healthy pets and a clean house. Tianna was also very responsive to all messages.”


“Alina has been a wonderful sitter for our 2 senior pups. She’s very attentive, communicative and so caring. One of our pups needs a little extra attention as he has separation anxiety and she is so patient with him. So happy we found Alina and will definitely use her for future stays!”


“Abby was great! Highly recommend using her. It was my first time leaving Hagrid with her and she took great care of him. I got photos and updates. She even brought him to the beach which he loves. Walks were always on time as requested and she left the house in immaculate shape. We look forward to having her help again when needed.”

Jordan S.
“5-Paws!!! Jordan was absolutely amazing with our Labrador retriever. From the moment she showed up for the meet-and-greet, we knew we had found the perfect fit. Our dog usually thinks she runs the show, but Jordan had everything under control with a calm, confident energy that put all of us at ease. She made us feel completely comfortable leaving our fur baby in her care, and it was obvious she genuinely loves what she does. We could rest easy knowing our pup’s tail wags, zoomies, and snack routines were in the best of hands. We will absolutely be asking for Jordan again in the future, she’s a total pro with a heart of gold. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog treated like family.”

Hannah D.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Hannah provides for my 3 house cats and 1 crazy feral. She goes above and beyond to make sure all are happy, healthy, and well cared for. My house cats are always calm and content when I return, so it’s clear they’ve received plenty of attention and playtime. She even managed to gain the trust of my feral cat! He’s such a psycho! Hannah is reliable, communicative, and does a great job, from feeding, to playing, to cleaning up after my cats. I also appreciate the updates she sends while I’m away. She is someone who genuinely cares for animals and treats them like her own!”
