“Josh watched our dogs for the first time this week. We have a puppy and a senior dog and he was great with both of them! Super communicative, sent pictures, and we felt very comfortable having him stay in our home and keep our fur babies safe! We will be using him again for sure!”
About: Howzit 🤙 I’m excited to shower your pets with love! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, always treating them like family—with patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Over the years, I’ve built real-life experience from long walks, silly play sessions, cozy couch naps, and learning the little quirks that make each pet one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s boarding, daycare, or house sitting, my goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like they’re at home. Because when your pets are with me, they’re family too. 🐾 I work full time from home Monday thru Friday, with weekends typically spent at the dog park, hiking, or camping (with my doggies). Pet care isn’t just a task in my day—it’s part of my rhythm. I start and end my days with walks, play, and feeding routines, and I naturally build in time for snuggles, potty breaks, and play sessions throughout the day. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I keep a flexible schedule so I can give your pets the attention they deserve. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily life, so fitting your pets into my routine feels like second nature. Whether your pets are with me in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, the routine is built around comfort, safety, and fun. That means sticking to their feeding schedules, giving them the right balance of exercise and play, and making time for cuddles and rest. I treat your pets—and your home—with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: I've cared for various kinds of pets over my whole life and at one point was able to become an AKC trained dog trainer! I've since changed jobs to a patient sitter at a nearby hospital and miss the new animals being in my life. I'd love to get a chance to meet your pets and help care for them! I work 3 inconsistent days from either 630am-pm or 630pm-am throughout the week but can make changes as needed to work up to 3 days a week for a client outside of that! I feel that all pets have a wide range of personalities and needs but the important thing is to work with them to achieve their physical and emotional needs! I have 2 cats with vastly different attitudes and I make sure to tailor my care for them in specific ways like being a safety person for my cat while she's eating or training my partners cat to ask for attention and treats more politely. When it comes to dogs I have a training in positive reinforcement and dog behaviors and will try to engage with breed specific enrichment on top of whatever schedule the pet parents have for their dog.
About: I have owned a variety of dogs throughout my life, some bought and some rescued. I know what it is like to go through the ups and downs of raising a dog and I would love to play a role in helping you in that journey! I am an involved and hard worker with a passion for pets. I love going for walks and staying active and am always outside doing something. I can handle energetic dogs and puppies and I don’t mind getting pushed around a little and I am great at giving baths after long nature outing. I do have another job but it is only open on the weekend so I have plenty of free time during the week. I am also pretty flexible when comes to hours as well. I love to have a set idea of do’s and do not’s from a pet owner before I house sit just to make sure I am not overstepping or over correcting and to make sure everyone is safe at all times. I currently do not petsit in my home because of my living situation.
“Isabelle was wonderful with our two cattle dogs, communicated with us and shared pictures throughout our long weekend away. In addition, she cared for our home as we would, and cleaned up after herself. We had nice calm girls when we got home, to me that’s a sign they were well cared for and loved!”
“Vance did an outstanding job pet sitting for our two older dogs. He corresponded with us regularly and provided updates during his stay at our house. We highly recommend Vance and will be requesting his services for our future pet sitting needs.”
About: I have a German Shepherd Husky mix who has separation anxiety and is getting older in age. I also helped with my parents senior dog who was blind. Growing up I always helped friends and family with their puppies and grown dogs. I currently just have doctors appointments to attend while my husband works full time and I’ve always loved being around animals but unfortunately I live in a small apartment so I don’t have room for any more. I will ensure they have the potty breaks they need, they’re fed and have any medications. I will play with them and make sure they’re comfortable
“Michael was so amazing with our dog & cat. He sent us lots of pictures of our fur babies while we were away, took our dog on walks, for car rides & administered her daily medication. Michael was so flexible & understanding of my obsessive dog mom requests. We are so grateful to have had his help & will absolutely be having him sit for us again!”
About: I have grown up my whole life with a dog just until very recently. When my dog passed away, I started offering my services around my neighborhood and continued to connect with our furry friends by walking them around the neighborhood. I have always had a deep love for animals (especially dogs) and love to spend time with them. I found this app and thought it would be a great way to continue to spend time and take care of them! I am currently off for the summer. I am in nursing school taking some time off until the next semester starts. I can work anytime the semester is out. I am going back to school August 24th but would love to sit on the weekends if needed. My home has a built in invisible fence for the dogs, I love petting dogs and playing tug of war or just sitting next to them while I’m reading etc.
“Plachette did a wonderful job caring for our dogs! She provided regular updates, sweet pictures and videos, was reliable and made me feel very comfortable that our pups were getting good care while we were away. I would recommend her to any dog owner!”
About: I've spent my whole life with dogs and cats, and some crazier pets like snakes or even a tarantula! My dad has a tendency to get pets he can't afford... but it certainly taught me to take care of animals! I work full-time, and would love to spend my days off meeting and caring for pets (as well as making a little extra lol... things are expensive!) I have two indoor cats who I love love love! They've got lots and lots of toys, and I love playing with them :) I grew up with a dog who unfortunately had to stay with my parents after I moved out, but I absolutely loved him and playing with him too!
About: I've had a pet my whole life, my biggest passion is animals, I always took in dogs and cats when I was a child, I took care of many different breeds of dogs and cat. Everyone I know trust me the most with their pets. I'm a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time for your furry friends and I'm flexible. I can do any day of the week I bathe, feed, walk, play, soothe, care for my pets at home and can do the same with my clients. If your dog has anxiety I know how to soothe, I'm very understanding of animals and their behavior I will always put your pet first
About: I’ve taken care of pets for a number of years. Including pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve also volunteered at local shelters. I am a huge animal lover and will treat yours like my own. I work remotely so I am flexible with my schedule. As long as I know ahead of time, I can make a number of times work. I have taken care of animals in a number of settings that I can adjust to. From those with a fenced yard to those who need to stay leashed as they’re a flight risk. I truly have loved and treated each one as if they are my own.
“Jessica is literally the best :) I never have to worry about anything when I am away - my dog is loved, my home is well cared for, etc. She is a life saver and I couldn’t recommend her more!”

Please consider me as the pet sitter for you; I promise you will not regret it! My schedule is mostly flexible. Being able to leave for a couple hours a day is a must for me since I have other obligations. I keep my schedule on here up to date as much as I can. I take care of pets in their own homes with the utmost respect. I want them to be comfortable with me so I will try to keep their routines going to help out with making them feel at ease.

Mariah S.
“Mariah is absolutely fantastic! She not only took amazing care of my pup, but also brought along her two sweet dogs a couple of times—which made for the perfect mix of playtime, socialization, and exercise. My dog came home happy, tired, and clearly adored spending time with both Mariah and her pups. Mariah was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared for my dog as if she were her own. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. The updates and photos she sent were the cherry on top—I could see how comfortable and joyful my dog was in her care. I can’t recommend Mariah enough. If you’re looking for someone who’s trustworthy, attentive, and goes above and beyond, she’s the one. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Phillip O.
“Testimonial for Phillip – Future Legend Among Dog Walkers In a world oversaturated with mediocrity and half-hearted ambition, it is a rare joy to encounter someone whose unique mosaic of talents coalesces into a higher calling. Phillip is not merely a man with a goal—he is a visionary poised to redefine what it means to be a dog walker. To understand the inevitability of his success, one must first examine the pillars of his unorthodox yet undeniably impressive background: mulch distribution, male nursing, and the strategic mastery of Minecraft. Phillip’s work in mulch—a task deceptively humble—speaks volumes of his physical resilience and aesthetic precision. Mulching, after all, is not simply the act of dumping organic material onto soil; it is the subtle orchestration of environmental harmony. This sensitivity to balance and beauty translates directly into his approach to canine companionship. He understands the terrain, respects nature’s rhythm, and leaves no mess behind—traits any discerning dog owner would cherish in a walker. As a male nurse, Phillip has cultivated the rarest form of attentiveness: the ability to read non-verbal cues, to respond calmly under pressure, and to provide comfort with competence. Dogs, like patients, thrive when in the care of someone who sees beyond the surface. Whether tending to a skittish rescue or a hyperactive pup, Phillip brings clinical intuition and genuine empathy to every walk, transforming routine exercise into an act of mindful guardianship. And then there is Minecraft—a digital realm where creativity, logistics, and leadership intertwine. Far from frivolous, Phillip’s command of this complex sandbox universe proves his spatial intelligence, tactical foresight, and dedication to structured play. If he can command a server, build functioning redstone contraptions, and navigate hostile mobs, then managing a dozen different leash personalities is child’s play. Minecraft has not merely trained his thumbs; it has sharpened his mind. Phillip is not becoming the best dog walker known to man in spite of his unconventional credentials—he is doing so because of them. His path is not linear, but neither is excellence. It zigzags, evolves, and emerges when disparate skills are channeled into a singular mission. Phillip’s mission is simple yet profound: to walk dogs not just with his feet, but with purpose, grace, and brilliance. I offer this testimonial not merely in support of Phillip, but in awe of him. The world’s dogs are not ready—but they soon will be. Sincerely, Benjamin Gorczyca Advocate of Excellence and Friend to Future Legends”
