“We recently had the pleasure of having Sam watch our two dogs for nearly an entire week, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention he provided. Sam went above and beyond, even rearranging his work schedule to make sure our dogs were well looked after. He maintained their regimented routine, preparing their unique meals twice a day and taking them out for potty breaks and exercise an additional 3-4 times per day. His conscientiousness really showed in everything he did. Sam stayed overnight in our home, ensuring our dogs felt safe, secure, and comfortable in our absence. His communication was excellent—he sent us multiple photo updates throughout each day, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from the photos (and when we returned!) that our dogs were happy, calm, and well cared for. Honestly, I don’t think they even realized we were gone! Sam is incredible with animals, and it’s obvious he has a natural connection with dogs. He’s also friendly, respectful, and trustworthy. Knowing he was there allowed us to enjoy a much-needed vacation without any worry. We’re already planning to book Sam again for our next trip! If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and dedicated to caring for your pets as if they were his own, we can’t recommend Sam highly enough. Thank you again, Sam!”
“Second time Lindsay has watched our 2 kittens and dog. She does an excellent job communicating and making sure everyone is well cared for and loved while we’re away!”
“Wonderful! Very attentive to my poodles. Helped to address a food issue when one of mine went on a hunger strike. Very respectful of my home. She stayed for 3 days and 2 nites. Great communication! Love her!!”
About: Reliable animal lover experienced with dogs, focused on comfort, routine, and treating every pet like family. Willing to go the extra mile for your baby! I am currently a full-time, online college student so I have a very open schedule to give all the love to your babies! I create my own schedule so I can come at any time of day for your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every pet like my own. I currently live in an apartment so I am not able to board, but willing to do drop ins any time!
“Hannah was incredible from start to finish. Our girls felt completely at ease with her in our home, and her warm, attentive presence made a lasting impression. She kept us updated throughout, which gave us great peace of mind. Hannah was attentive to every need, ensured plenty of outdoor time, and genuinely cared for their well-being. We couldn’t have asked for better , 10/10 experience. Professional, thoughtful, and absolutely recommendable!”
“Sonia was so kind to take a last minute booking for a family emergency. She came for a meet and greet and asked great questions to make sure she was prepared. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout the stay, and followed through the schedule we had discussed. She definitely seems like a dog whisperer, when she came to bring the key back, my dog stood at the door watching her! I would absolutely welcome her back to house/dog sit.”
“Matthew did a great job! It was his first time watching my kitties and they seemed to take to him pretty quickly. Came back to a clean house and happy cats :)”
“Leah is an absolute gem! From start to finish, her communication was top-notch—we felt completely at ease the entire time we were away in Puerto Rico. We didn’t worry for a second, knowing our dogs were in such loving and capable hands. Whiskey and Rye adore her (which says everything), and to top it all off, we came home to a house that was somehow cleaner than we left it! Leah went above and beyond in every way, and we’ll 100% be booking her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Alexis is wonderful! Great communicator and makes sure you and your dogs feel comfortable. She took great care of my dogs when I was away and made sure I had pictures every day. Would definitely hire her again and my dogs loved her!!”
About: I've grown up around a lot of different pets over the years. Pet sitting for family and friends is also something I have done a lot of since childhood. I'm particularly fond of multi pet homes since I also have a multi pet home. I also lift quite a bit, so I am more than okay with working with heavier pets as well. I have cared for a variety of ages of cats and dogs, some with special needs as well. I very much do not mind cleaning up after pets, and enjoy earning pets' trust when they're a bit more shy. I care very much about animal well being, particularly because I am very picky when it comes to my own pets. I'm currently working and also will be taking one class at university in the Spring. I am more than happy to make trips to and from campus several times a day based on what's requested and/or needed. This could mean a morning walk, afternoon lunch time with a walk, and evening playtime. My schedule is currently relatively flexible, and I have plenty of time. While I very much prefer instructions for how best to care for your pets, it seems relatively standard to make sure there is some socialization/play time between walks, feedings, or anything else they may need. I am the primary caregiver for two rescue cats and two rescue dogs in my home. One of my dogs is crate trained and the other is a more shy senior dog. I have a regular walk routine with my pets, and they also get regular play time everyday as well. When it comes to taking care of my own pets, I am intentional in making sure their needs are put before my own.
“Naomi was amazing! Was able to book last minute with no issues. Her communication was great and when two of our dogs got into with each other she handled the situation perfect. Highly recommend, our dogs loved her and took to her instantly!”
“Christina was AWESOME. Will definitely be booking in the future. She looked after my pets well, kept me updated regularly, and even kept my apartment tidy and looked after! Highly recommend”
“We contacted Dora last minute for house sitting and definitely was the best decision we made!! She is AMAZING, lovely and patient, she keeps you updated all day with pictures, videos and texts, I’m a worried and nervous dog mom haha and the updates definitely made me feel better and calm. She loves what she does, that’s for sure. Our apartment and Luka, where in good hands, she’s really respectful with your place. She cares about every single and small thing, we have TONS of good things to say about Dora, run, don’t walk to reserve with her! Thanks for everything Dora, our family loves you! Million thanks, looking forward to have you again!”
“Damien did an amazing job at caring for my dogs. They warmed up to him very quickly loved being around him. He was also very respectful of the house and very clean. I will be booking him again. I highly recommend Damien to anyone needing a good sitter.”
About: In my life, I have cared for nine dogs, one cat, two snakes, and a hedgehog. I find pets to be one of the greatest things about life and I love them dearly. Friends and family have asked me to pet sit since I was 14 and it's always been my favorite thing. I am currently a full-time student Monday through Thursday but with mostly online work so I will be available every weekday for about 4-6hrs each day, longer on the weekend. Unable to care for pets in my own home as I have my own cat that does not get along with most other pets however, I am able to care for your pets in your home any way that is needed including things like frequent potty breaks, mess clean up, daily walks, and plenty of play or nap time. I am more than willing to adjust to you and your pets needs.
“Samantha is amazing with our two pups - a young and energetic small dog and a big, senior dog. Both receive great care and just what they need. I never have to worry when we have Samantha taking care of them.”
“Jessica was fantastic watching Bucky for me while went to the movies. Both Bucky and I have separation anxiety so I wanted someone with him. She took excellent care of him, playing with him, making sure he ate, and even walked him twice. She was very sweet and professional I will book with her again jd”
“Sarah did a good job of watching our 2 dogs. She followed my instructions perfectly. Just one thing- would have liked a few more pics and updates but I never had to worry that my girls weren’t getting good care.”

Alexander took excellent care of our babies and home! Great communication and pics, letting us enjoy the evening knowing all was good at home. We’ve also booked him for a special, long awaited, vacation and we couldn’t be happier that he’ll be watching them!! Thanks’
Braydon is one of the best dog sitters I’ve had on this platform. He kept me updated throughout the day and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. He followed all of our house rules, played with the dogs, and made sure they got their walks in. When I came home, the house was exactly as I left it. Most importantly, my dogs genuinely seemed to love him, and that means everything to me. I’ve already booked him again and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Abigail did an excellent job taking care of my cat, Mila, and housesitting! I received photos and updates every day of Mila and upon returning my home was just as I left it. Abigail is also super friendly and kind. Thank you so much! Will definitely request her services again. :)
Mirada kept my house tidy and clean. Cleaner than any other house sitter I have ever used. She was able to keep my plants healthy and alive. Unfortunately one of the cats was feeling sick, and it only got worse while we were gone. She stopped eating. This was a very old cat. She came with the house, when we bought it three years ago. None of the neighbors even know her exact age. Miranda took time out of her schedule to reseach a local clinic with availability and took my cat to and emergency animal clinic, keeping us informed the whole time. We made the hard decision to let go of the cat as she was in too much pain, Miranda was there for Bouncy when we could not be. And I am very thankful for that
Sonia did an excellent job taking care of our big and slightly finicky dogs. She understands dog behavior and shows kindness and understanding for their idiosyncrasies. Sonia is a great communicator, providing updates and status reports during the latest ice weather event. It’s comforting to know our fur babies were in good hands, and we can look forward to our next trip without hesitation.
15/10, will book again! Amanda was truly one of the most top-notch sitters with whcih we've had the pleasure of working. She was friendly and incredibly thorough in taking information and preparing for every instance. Our Mojo man is a bit of a shy boy and he took to her very well on the first meeting. He seemed relaxed and happy when we came home and exhibited less than normal clinginess to us in the days that followed our return. We are so grateful not only for her care of our boy, but for her consideration of our home. Couldn't even tell she had been there. Thank you and we look forward to booking again!
Keishli was absolutely wonderful with our beloved Boston Terrier, Duke! From start to finish, she was incredibly communicative and responsive, keeping us updated with thoughtful feedback and pictures while we were away. She answered all of our questions and went above and beyond to make us feel confident that Duke was safe, happy, and well cared for. It was clear she treated him like her own, and we know Duke will definitely miss her company! We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future.
