“Anna was great. Our older dog was having some bladder issues, and my younger dog vomited on the bed. Anna took it in stride and did the laundry as needed, taking care of everything. She has cared for older dogs before, and dogs with disabilities, so we knew our two were in good hands!”
“Kim is a wonderful cat/house sitter who gave me so much peace of mind while I was away on a work trip. She made sure my cats were fed and gave one of my cats some form of medicine 3x a day. She even brought them treats when she noticed one of mine were running out. The house was clean when I returned and my cats were happy! I received detailed updates when I asked for them and Kim always responded promptly. She was also very clear about the times she would be away from my house, which helped set my expectations. I would book her again!”

About: I’ve cared for my two family dogs, Adonis & Asha, since I was 13, gaining hands-on experience with daily routines like feeding, walking, bathing, and providing lots of love and attention. While I haven’t done professional pet sitting yet, I understand how important it is to treat pets like family. I’m reliable, caring, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, while getting my Master’s at Auburn online! So I’m free pretty much all day long to care for and love on your pups while you’re away! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow the pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of playtime or walks, and have a clean space. I also pay close attention to any special instructions—whether it’s medications, quirks, or favorite toys. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, care, and love.
“Second time using Kaitlyn for dog sitting and again she blew it out of the water! Our pup loves her and we feel so comfortable going out of town with her as our sitter.”

“Pretty sure my pets like Harris more than they like me now. Also my house was cleaner when I got home than when I left. She was truly incredible. 12/10 all around - will absolutely BEG her to come back next time we travel!”

“Great at keeping in touch and sending pictures with updates. No worries leaving our girls in his hands!! He did everything we asked him to do. We will request for him again”

“This was our first time leaving ours dogs with a sitter. Would highly recommend Allison. Very sweet and dependable. She sent multiple photos keeping us updated throughout the day.”

“Hensley did a wonderful job caring for our two heeler mixes for the weekend. Our younger dog can be very skittish around new people, but Hensley took it all in stride and was able to gain her confidence and even take her for walks. Great communication and photos of the dogs throughout her stay, we highly recommend her as a sitter!”

“Caylee did an awesome job taking care of our dog! She sent me updates, with pictures, everyday. When we arrived home my house was clean, tidy, and our dog was very happy. I would definitely recommend Caylee to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter!!”

“I left my 3 dogs with Abby(Mary) for a week. She did a great job of communicating with me, including sending photos. One dog had a bandage on her foot that came loose. Abby took care of the rebandaging and did a great job! I highly recommend Abby and will be calling on her again for my future travel needs.”

About: As an animal science major I have been around many animals, I love being around dogs and taking care of them. I have my own dog who is 5 years old she is a sensitive dog and has many allergy issues I have experience bathing and giving medication to her. I have plenty of time to play and care for your fur babies from walking to house/dog sitting I am available. I have a online class I attend Monday-Thursdays from 11am-2pm. I am free to work around that, or if you are looking for house sitting options I can watch your dog at your home anytime since my class is online over zoom. I provide care at the client's home, I usually follow the client's schedule for the care needed such as walks, feeding, playtime, medication, and bathing.
“Kyndall surpassed my expectations while house sitting with our goldendoodle, yorkie and chihuahua. Will definitely use again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to genuinely love on your babies. She befriended our chihuahua which is an accomplishment in itself. She kept us updated throughout her stay and communicated promptly.”

About: hello, i’m lee, and i’ve been a full time pet sitter since august 2021. my upbringing was full of animals to care for and love on, and as my childhood dog got older, i learned to care for senior puppies. caring for animals requires patience and a level of understanding that is different from communicating with other people. that is why i believe in my heart that bonding with an animal is one of the most rewarding experiences of our lifetimes. i live in an apartment with myself and my partner, but my apartment has room for them to roam or relax. there’s grass and spaces for me to walk your pet or take them out for potty breaks as well. i live near a golf course, and if your baby loves going on long walks, the course is perfect for getting rid of some energy. i am available full time for services! whenever i am not out of town visiting family, your pet will feel like family in my home. i can easily follow given instructions, and your pet will be receiving my full attention while in my care. you’ll also be getting once or twice daily pictures and updates with your pet. my aim is to give you peace of mind that your baby is safe and well taken care of under my care and alleviate your worries.
“Tori did an amazing job caring for my animals. She sent me tons of pictures w/ updates and spent lots of quality time with my little zoo. I am truly impressed. I would absolutely recommend Tori to anyone needing a pet sitter!”

Erica took great care of our fur babies!!! We were in town for a wedding. She came and babysat our pups so we could enjoy the wedding. She walked them a bunch of times and kept us updated. They were happy and worn out when we got back from the wedding. We highly recommend her!

Kim was so professional and detail-oriented while also being so caring and loving toward our two cats and our dog. Our dog can be wary of strangers, but Kim was wonderful with her. I als appreciate all the communication while we were away. We will definitely be booking her again!
