“Ricky is an amazing sitter. He is attentive and kind to my pups. After two weeks, I came home to three happy and well cared for pups and a clean house!”
“Luie took SUCH great care of our 3 doggies! He sent a TON of pictures, which we greatly appreciated, and took care of our house as well!

“She was a great sitter for my two cats! She sent me pictures and updates everyday on what they did and how they were doing. It was obvious when we returned home that my cats were well taken care of. We would definitely hire her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my teen to adult years. I volunteered at a rescue taking care of mostly the cats. I’ve previously helped rescue kittens and dogs. I’ve always had animals around me. I’m a very big animal lover. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs and cat sit a kitten from time to time. I give the cats baths maybe once a month and the dogs weekly and I routinely walk the dogs. I watch the dogs while they’re outside while also giving them extra love. I love taking dogs on walks. I play with cats and even bring along toys that I know my cats love.
“Busara is the best! Maxwell has a great time and is always well cared for! I have no worries when I’m not there because I know Busara is always there to save the day and make sure Maxwell has great company”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life, helping with puppies being born and raised, training them, and caring for both young and elderly pets with love and patience. I have pet sat for friends and family whether it is overnight stay, check-ins, or simply taking their fur babies for walks. I am currently working part time so my schedule is very flexible! I am available during the week and most weekends. With sufficient notice, I can make myself available to care for your pets during your vacation. When dog sitting at a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect as I would my own. The nurturing side of me instinctively tidies up and ensures your home remains clean and welcoming throughout my stay. I have a fenced in yard with a yellow lab, Samson (10 yr old male) and chocolate lab, Rocky (6 yr old male), both are fixed. Samson and Rocky are used to family and friends coming over with their own dogs to play with them or simply bringing when visiting.
About: All my life I have owned and been taking care of animals. I love all kinds of animals and will treat your pets as my own. I am flexible and communicative, and won't consider my job done until both you and your pets are satisfied. I work part-time, but with a flexible schedule that can adapt to your needs (with a small advance notice.) Afternoons are my preferred time, but I can do any time on Tuesday and Thursday. I am very comfortable around all kinds of animals and will work to build trust with you and your pets. I can house-sit and dog-board, and clean any potential messes your pet(s) may make. I communicate very clearly and effectively, and will make sure that you are comfortable with my care.
“Ashley did a great job.”
“Zackie provided outstanding care for my dog, Bondi, while I was away on vacation. She fulfilled every request and went above and beyond with caring for my fur child. I completely trust her and would recommend for future bookings! On time, communicative and reliable!”
About: I grew up on retired farm land, so I gained lots of experience raising and training several dog breeds, all sizes and ages. We rescued and fostered several dogs, cats, and rabbits over the years. As an adult I started fostering dogs and rabbits myself. Until recently, I was fostering primarily dogs. I have 2 shepheards and 2 pitbulls permanently placed in my home, as well as a dwarf rabbit. 2 of my dogs are trained and registered as service animals. I have a very adaptable home with lots of indoor/outdoor play space, as well as space to be separated as needed. I are very particular about keeping our food and water bowls clean with washing every day. I am happy to love you fur babies! There is rarely ever a time my pets are home alone. They all free roam and coexist peacfully, so I have a very calm house usually. We have a go out/walking schedule we follow to ensure proper exercise, as well as a secure feeding routine. My fiancé works full time, so I am the full time caretaker of the animals. Stranger pets in my home are introduced calmly and carefully, as to maintain a safe environment for all. Higher energy dogs meet my shepheards first, calmer animals meet my old boy first. My animals stay leashed infront of guests until a calmness has been reached. I have separate feeding bowls for all animals, water is communal as to resist territorial behavior. If calmness can not be reached, I have space to separate any unrully animals as needed. As a stranger in another animals home, I aproach very calmly and happily to respect their space. I am very adaptable to understanding and applying a feeding/walking schedule. Play time is always important, and my favorite part of the day! Lots of play time and pets are given to fur babies.
“Deanna was communicative and made sure she understood our pets needs and routines! We got pictures while we were away and were able to be worry free knowing our fur babies were being well cared for.”
“Danielle took great care of our home and our Gypsi. We would recommend her to anyone.”
“Shatera was AMAZING with my pup, Tucker! She house say for us while we went on vacation. She offered to do a merry and greet at our house before the stay to meet him and see the house. This was super helpful as our dog is very dog selective and it was the first time we had left him with someone he didn’t know. I was so incredibly nervous prior to meeting her as Tucker can be a lot to handle, especially for a stranger. But as soon as we met her, we knew we were leaving him in good hands! She sent pictures and videos of their adventures and gave updates throughout the stay. She was very communicative and followed directions thoroughly. The best part? Tucker loved her and her family! I highly recommend Shatera for anyone nervous about using a sitter service. She was incredible throughout the entire process! Happy to say we’ve found our dog sitter for Tuck ?”
About: I have a lot of pets of my own. There was a point in time where I had 11 pets at one time! I love caring for all animals :) Im currently on summer break from college. I just returned from a semester off where I was at basic training for the army so I’m looking for something flexible that I enjoy to make some extra money! I will make sure the pet is fed and well entertained! If able I will also give them lots of cuddles and make sure they are happy!
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for years. I was a veterinary technician and know how to administer medications and clip claws. I would love to take care of your fur baby. I’m available at a moment’s notice because I am retired. I am rarely out of town. I love animals and look forward to caring for yours! As a pet sitter, your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone who is entering your home and caring for your beloved pet. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect in my own, and every pet as if they were my own family.
“Kaylee is amazing and took such good care of my pup when I went away for the weekend! It’s so nice having peace of mind about his care while I’m on vacation! 100% will be using Kaylee again and again!!”
“This was the first time Lydia watched my 3 pups. She is very nice and I felt comfortable at the meet and greet. I knew she would take great care of them. She gave updates and assured me they were fine. My female dog was struggling when I first left , Lydia gave her extra love. Now that I am home, I think my Bailey is missing Lydia. I will definitely reach out to her in the future.”
