“Great sitter - highly recommended. He was easy to talk to and easy to work with, and I could tell that he genuinely loves animals. My pets seemed to love him too. I got a lot of photo updates while we were gone, and my animals were happy and relaxed when we got home. We don't travel often, but David will be our first call next time we need someone to watch our little pack.”


“Sophia spent 7 days housesitting our French Bulldog Mo. He can be very difficult, and she was an UNBELIEVABLE sitter. Responsive, took a lot of pictures, gave him a ton of attention… it was like we never left! We were so lucky to find Sophia over the holiday week and will be using her again anytime we are out of town! Thank you Sophia!”


About: I love animals. I grew up with dogs and have been around cows and horses. Every animal is special to me. Your dog will be treated as one of my own when with or around me. I have 1 small dog who is very playful with other dogs. I live close enough to a park that we frequent often. We live in a spacious house so your dog will have tons of room here. I hope to get the chance to get to know you and your pup. Please feel free to ask any questions. I do have a full time job beyond dog sitting but my schedule still allows me to sit or walk other dogs as needed. I am available for most holidays. Safety of your pet is my number one priority. I do not have a fully fenced yard (yet) but your pet would never be outside unattended.

“Molly was great! She stayed at our house and watched our Great Dane. She kept us updated and sent photos. Our dog is high maintenance and she did a great job caring for her. I recommend Molly and will use her again.”


“Brianna is a godsend! She took care of our two cats, our dog, and our fish while we were away and we came back to a content home. One of our cats is medically complicated, and she handled tall those instructions jobs no problem. Our dog is a super sensitive hound dog, and Bri really understands him. He loves her. Already booked her again!”


“Bridget did an amazing job with a very stubborn Pomsky! 💖 I would recommend her to anyone that wants exceptional pet care! Thank you so much! Love, Michele and Mia”


“Judith is professional and keeps us updated on our pet even when we are out of town. Makes vacations so much more enjoyable when you know your "four legged" babies are loved! Thank you.”


About: I have taken care of dogs for a long time, and have taken care of pets for friends and family for 10+ years. I love how different every dog is, and getting to understand how to take their individual needs into account. I do my best to adapt my schedule around the needs of the animals I care for, and currently have a lot of time available to walk, feed, and play with pets in my care. I prefer to have clear instructions when it comes to pet care, and try to keep the care I provide as similar to the care they already receive as possible.

“Lily took amazing care of our two dogs and even took them on evening walks that they so love! We appreciated the communication and photos and will absolutely come back to Lily next time that we take a trip!”



“Our girls (two dogs) loved Caitlin! It was so much easier leaving for a work trip knowing they were in good hands. She sent photos every day and they both looked so happy!! We highly highly recommend Caitlin!”


“Lainey was absolutely incredible! She graciously accepted my last-minute booking over the 4th of July weekend, which I was so grateful for. From the start, she was extremely communicative and responsive, which gave me peace of mind. She took amazing care of my two little dogs—sending regular updates and adorable pictures—and they clearly felt comfortable and loved in her care. She even went above and beyond by leaving the house exactly as I left it, and didn’t even leave the pre-prepped dog dishes I told her not to worry about. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and professional sitter!”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, and small animals. From daily walks and feedings to administering medications and providing comfort, I’ve built trust with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their routine, understand their behavior, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you always feel connected. I’m currently working part time so I will be available Saturdays from 12a-9p and Sunday 12a-9p. I also will take requests for other days, I can work with you! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible—feeding them on schedule, giving plenty of love and attention, keeping their space clean, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect their environment and follow any specific instructions closely. While I don’t currently have a dog in my own home, that allows me to give your pet my full attention without distractions. My dog currently passed so we have an electric fence but that’s it! If your pet stays with me, they’ll have a clean, calm, pet-friendly space with lots of one-on-one care, playtime, and love. I’m all about making them feel at home—whether it’s their place or mine.

About: I had a German Shepherd for 14 years. Best friend I ever had. Loyal, protective, never argued or talked back and were always happy to see me! I am retired and make my own schedule. Mornings or evenings. Love dogs. Enjoy walking. They give me joy and serenity and I totally enjoy it. I have a mostly fenced in yard at this point but believe I can seal it off if necessary. Follow instructions to the point and respect property of others and am responsible.

About: As a dedicated dog lover and proud owner of two golden retrievers, I understand that every dog is family. My experience caring for my own pups has given me firsthand knowledge of everything from puppy energy to the gentle needs of senior dogs. I provide patient, loving care tailored to each dog’s personality, age, and routine. Whether it’s keeping your energetic pup entertained or giving extra attention to older dogs, I treat every dog like my own—with love, consistency, and a whole lot of belly rubs. I’m a college student currently off for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule! I’m available weekdays from early mornings through early evenings. While I prefer daytime care, I can also accommodate overnight stays with advance notice. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m excited to spend my summer giving dogs the attention, playtime, and love they deserve! While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I’m happy to care for your dog in the comfort of your own home. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, and I’ll treat your home and your dog with the utmost respect and care. My own dogs are protective, so I don’t offer playdates, but I’m more than happy to take your pup on walks, to the park, or to any favorite spots they enjoy. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities.

“Chelsie did absolutely amazing! She took amazing care of the house and left it in tip top shape. She kept us very updated on the animals and even helped water our plants! We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to everyone. She even gave us a beautiful copy of a drawing of our animals. You can tell she truely cares about the animals and they absolutely loved her! Would give 10 stars if I could.”

Moth M.
“Last year, I took my son on a trip to Las Vegas for four days, and Moth generously stepped in to care for my pets. Not only did they keep my animals fed and happy, but they also stayed at the house the entire time to make sure everything ran smoothly. When I ended up unexpectedly stranded in Los Angeles for an extra day, Moth didn’t hesitate to extend their stay—watching over my dog and two cats for a total of five days. They maintained the litter box, ensured the pets were well-fed, and even walked my dog daily. I came home to calm, well-cared-for animals and a tidy home. Moth was responsible, communicative, and clearly cared about my pets’ wellbeing. I will absolutely be reaching out again the next time I need a sitter—couldn’t be more pleased!”
