“Danielle was attentive, kind and patient with my pups. I have an elderly dog and a rescue who is very skittish. Danielle took the time to make sure they were each comfortable and made sure to keep me updated while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking again!”


“Olivia was a wonderful pet sitter for our three pets, including one old dog with lots of meds to keep track of. We were so thankful to find her and will be using her again in the future.”


About: I have had many animals in my lifetime, starting from very young! I have had the honor of taking care of friends and family’s dogs/kitties for many years as well as having my own. I have really grown to love sitting and consider it a true passion! I currently work part-time and am in school, but I still have quite a lot of time on my hands which I would love to spend with animals! I am very gentle with dogs and cats alike. I can easily play and get them to be pretty comfortable with me quickly! I have never trained a dog, however, one of my close relatives is a dog trainer and I have watched her closely over the years!

“Lauren is an excellent house sitter. Chica and the cats were well cared for, and I had absolutely no worries while I was away. The house was also well cared for 😃 Thank you Lauren, we all hope you will sit for us again!”


About: I’ve picked up many animals on the side of the road, including raccoons who just need a little bit of love! I am very an understanding of Dogs’ and Cats’ based on body language!!! I currently work part time at a restaurant and am a full time student, but stopping by twice a day for a feeding and walk wouldn’t be a problem! I would prefer to cat-sit due to cats being on a different schedule than dogs. I can still make time to play with the cat pending on the personality. I am open to take off of work to walk your dogs and give them the stimulation needed! I live in the middle of nowhere, so my pets are free range. My two dogs play with each other all day, my cats also enjoy catching the mice and moles! When I go to a coworkers house to pet sit, I follow their instructions of how much to feed them and how often as well as walking times!! It just depends on the pet, personality and owner’s location!!

Vanessa B.
Star Sitter

“Vanessa loves all different types of dogs! She is so sweet to our dog Bear. She can handle all sizes of dogs on her own. Her backyard is spacious with a fenced pool. My fiance likes to play around with Bear and run wild in the backyard, which makes Bear feel like he is so happy there. Her small dog, Mickey easily got along with other dogs but he can be pretty protective of himself around bigger dogs! My dog is pretty big and slightly rough at horseplay. Mickey knows how to be careful around them, he's pretty smart.”
