1. Dominica B.

“Dominica has been a welcome addition to our dog’s life. So kind, reliable and caring! Her updates and photos are so helpful to keep track of our growing puppy’s habits. Highly recommend her services!”


2. Sophia C.
“Sophia has been taking care of my pets for the last three years! She takes great care of all animals and pride herself on being timely in feeding them and caring for them always. She has also taken care of my best friend's cats that is quite a chore because they have seven of them. She's extremely responsible and will not let you down. She shows up on time take care of the animals and does even more for you you will not regret hiring her.”


3. Torrie J.

“Torrie is amazing. She really helped me a lot when I couldn’t walk my dog as I was recovering from injury. She treats my dog with so much love. Grateful to have her”


4. Lila L.

“Lila was great! I’d highly recommend her. I have a crazy beagle, and a shy mixed small dog. She was great with both of them, and earned their trust. We could see Toby (the small shy dog) wagging his tail when coming back from their walks.”


5. Samuel J.
“Sam is the kind of person that will pull over to save a stray dog. He loves and cares deeply for all animals. On his free time, Sam frequently asks me to go with him to the animal shelter to hang out with the animals. I have enjoyed watching him take care of my dog, Bailey and have loved watching him become her favorite human. I would 100% trust him with my animals.”


6. Andrew W.
“I've known andrew for over 15 years. When I go out of town he is always my go to pet sitter for my Doberman. He is great with my dog and caters to his medical needs as well as how much attention and love my dobey requires. He's reliable and punctual on top of just being an animal lover. 10 out of 10 would recommend.”


7. Savannah M.

“Savannah is a dream! So professional and kind, an excellent communicator and a quick problem solver. Savannah cared for our chickens for nearly three full weeks and watched over the house and plants. She provided regular updates, was intuitive to care for the girls in the hot weather and allowed my time away to feel so much more at ease. I was so thrilled to return with thriving plants, and happy, calm chickens. Will definitely look to book with her again in the future, and recommend fully!”


8. Jestina C.

“Jestina was really great! Super reliable, followed all of our instructions, and really responsive. We highly recommend her!”


9. Wakana B.
About: Hi, I am Waka. I just *love love love* being with animals. Even though I’m allergic to both dogs and cats (!), the way they fill my heart with warmth is absolutely priceless. I’m not your typical pet sitter—when I care for your furry family members, I treat them just like my own, and I really mean it. Their happiness and well-being always come first. Take my super energetic 4-year-old lab, River, for example. She has a few behavioral quirks and some health challenges, so here’s what our daily care routine looks like: * Homemade meals * At least one hour of physical and mental exercise in the morning—and again in the evening. * Daily practice of basic obedience commands: sit, lay, wait, come, leave it, drop it, etc. * Playtime and short walks throughout the day—we play tag, hide and seek, monkey in the middle, learn new tricks, and do scent-based enrichment activities * Lots of belly rubs and snuggles! I’m happy to offer the same thoughtful, engaged care for your pets if you’ll let me. When they’re with me, they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection and personalized care. You’ll get regular updates—and complete peace of mind. Available hours: - I currently have flexible work schedule, and can work from home. - I am typically available between 8am to 6pm but am happy to discuss hours outside it. Please give me a detailed instruction including feeding schedule, health information Do's and Don'ts and anything else that is important for me to know. Safety for both parties is important, and for that reason I cannot work with dogs who are aggressive towards people. I am sorry! I just don't have the right skills for it. If there is anything you would like to know more about me, please feel free to ask!


10. Tiffany O.

“Tiffany took great care of our guinea pig and fish while we were out of town for a week during the holidays. She is an amazing petsitter and went above and beyond the care we were hoping for. Our guinea pig had last minute health issues, and Tiffany took on extra medication administration as well as wound care. She did an amazing job, and we can’t thank her enough.”


11. Hydee K.

“Amazing!! I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing my cats were in great care! She even got them some treats that they seemed to love! Would highly recommend!”


12. Mia O.
About: I have 3 dogs small to large as well as two cats. I have raised both kittens and puppies. I also have a big dog and am aware of how to handle thought situations. I am currently a full time student and I am taking some summer classes on line. I am also a part time barista but i have a lot of free time during the week. I walk my dogs everyday and i feed my cats both wet and dry food (the wet food is their sweet treat). I make sure that my dogs always have clean water bowls and food bowls. I also enjoy sitting in the sun with them.


13. Kelsey F.
“Kelsey has done a great job in the past taking care of our pets. She shows consistent passion and concern for the well-being and happiness of our doggies.”


14. Alexander H.

“I cannot say enough good things about Alex and how well he took care of our two cats while we were away for a week. He was so on top of everything, sent detailed updates and photos with every check-in and it was just so nice to be able to enjoy our vacation without worrying if our cats were in good hands. I would HIGHLY recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future!”


15. Cora Leigh L.

“Cora is an excellent sitter! Cami, our shy kitty, took to her quickly. Cora is very mindful about cleaning the food tins, litter box, and even some mischief the cat got up to in our absence. We would happily have Cora cat sit Cami again.”


16. Ryan L.
About: I've cared for a variety of animals since I was 4 years old; I personally owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, & fish. I've also pet/house sat for friends & family; I've watched over cats, dogs, & rat. I shadowed/worked at Brandner's Veterinary Hospital, I also cared for the boarding pets over the weekends by myself (administering medications, cleaning up after the animals, feeding, taking them to go potty, & giving IV fluids). Brandner's specializes in rabbit care so I've been trained well on how to care for them too, sometimes the Clinic owners rabbits would even board overnight & I'd care for upwards of 4 rabbits on my own. I'm very comfortable around new animals & have had lots of experience caring for them most of my life. If you're looking for someone to care for your pets as if they were their own look no further. I'm working part time doing nightly trash collection for neighborhoods, roughly 10 hours a week. This would work perfectly as another source of income too. I like to be engaged with the pet, whether that's taking the dog on a walk or playing with the cat and their toys, etc.


17. Jayne H.
“Jayne is my regular go-to for any dogsitting needs I have with my pup! She is a great communicator who always takes the best care of Luna. Every time I come to pick Luna up she seems sad to leave, which is only mildly offensive to me 😉 I would absolutely recommend Jayne to anyone looking for a dogsitter, your dog will feel right at home.”


18. Kyle M.

“Kyle goes above and beyond, when I got back from my vacation I realized he’d brought in my mail that had been piling up in for us and he administered my dogs meds for us which I’d said was optional! Great guy, will def hire again.”


19. Sadie M.

“Sadie was responsible, always on-time, and gave my dog the full amount of time. I will use her again.”


20. Jessica W.

“Our wirehaired doxies immediately warmed to Jessica which made us feel really comfortable leaving them for the first time in years and years. It’s clear she loves dogs and understands separation anxiety issues. They got extra love and attention, and when we got home they slept for hours! Thank you, Jessica!”
