“Kamryn was great! Arya went crazy and was so excited when she arrived. She fed her and kept me updated through the night. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again!!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for both dogs and cats with the same dedication and heart. From fostering dogs, rescuing strays, to working at a dog daycare, and ensuring street cats have food and warmth, I’ve seen it all. Whether it’s cuddling with a cat or keeping a playful pup entertained, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. With me, your furry family members are always in good hands—because their happiness is my top priority! Let’s make their day a little brighter! I’m a full-time college student with classes on Mondays and Thursdays, so I have plenty of free time throughout the rest of the week to shower your pets with love and attention! I’m available for overnight care on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and I might even be able to accommodate weekends if needed. I make sure to plan my schedule around your pet’s needs, ensuring they get all the care and attention they deserve! I prioritize creating a safe and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. My home is fully pet-proofed, with a fenced backyard where dogs can play safely, and a cozy sunroom that’s perfect for relaxation and sunbathing. I make sure all pets have a designated space where they can feel comfortable and secure, whether they’re energetic or prefer quiet time. When it comes to walks and playtime, I adjust to each pet’s individual needs, making sure they get the right amount of exercise and attention. In my community, we have two large pet-friendly islands, perfect for safe and enjoyable walks. I make sure that I am always attentive, providing fresh water, monitoring their health, and using positive reinforcement to build trust with your pet. For in-home visits, I follow all specific instructions to maintain their routine and ensure they feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I treat each pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and cared for, whether in my home or yours.

“Took great care of our cat and dog while we were away. Our 7 month old dog is very shy and Kevin did a nice job of being patient and getting her comfortable.”

About: I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits! I’ve worked for 5 years in a clinic supporting a veterinary team providing treatment and wellness to all types of animals. In 5 years I learned how to read an animal’s body language and how to engage with all kinds of temperaments. I have previously worked in a kennel where I maintained the health and wellbeing of boarding animals with scheduled feeding, medication, and exercise. I’ve worked with non profits like the Humane Society working in a high volume setting providing medical care to numerous dogs and cats while advocating for animal welfare and wellness. I’m available for walks and house visits. I’m also available to provide daily feedings in the early mornings or the evenings 7 days a week if needed. I’m always aware of my surroundings especially when working with animals in an unknown environment. I ensure your fur babies, no matter how good of an escape artist they are, are safe and secured at all times with me.

“Alley was with our Abby at our home for two weeks while we were on vacation. During that time we had some very strong storms which our pup doesn’t do well with. Alley was able to manage Abby‘s anxiety and was very communicative with us throughout the entire two weeks. We are very happy with the care Alley provided for Abby. In addition, Alley took care of our mail my plants and our home Alley went above and beyond to ensure our homecoming was quite pleasant to completely clean home, she even washed the bedding in the room she stayed in. Thank you Alley for your time and efforts on our behalf. We will surely call on you again!”

“We can't say enough good things about Chelsey. She was absolutely wonderful with our fur baby, Gertie. It was clear from the moment we met that Gertie was comfortable and happy with her, and when we returned, it was obvious Gertie had a blast! Not only did Chelsey take incredible care of Gertie while we were out of the country, but she also left our home spotless. We truly had peace of mind knowing both our beloved pet and our house were in such capable hands. We highly recommend Chelsey and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Kit stayed at our house for 3 nights to watch out two dogs and one cat and we couldn’t be happier with his services. We did a brief meet-and-greet a few days before and I felt very comfortable because Kit has a really kind way about him, which the dogs and cat immediately responded positively to. I knew they would be in great hands! Over the days leading up to and during the pet sitting, Kit was communicative, proactive, reliable, responsive, responsible, and mature. I got lots of great pictures to know they were happy. Kit has a lot of experience taking care of dogs and cats and was comfortable taking on all tasks of feeding, walking, etc., and kept their routine on track. He asked good questions when he was unsure about anything and even dealt calmly with a temporary power outage situation. Kit always had in mind the best interest of our animals and the house and we felt very assured in his capable hands. As a bonus, Kit was very prompt, tidy, and took great care of the house. He even took out the garbage, which was above and beyond and much appreciated! We will definitely reach out to Kit for future pet sitting needs.”

“Margaret was a lifesaver for us. We had a dog that needed extra+ TLC while we were away for several days and she really went above and beyond. She sent pictures and updates regularly and left detailed progress notes on how things went, what worked and challenges encountered. We're both impressed and thankful.”

Tim E.

“Angelica was great! She was very easy to book with and my cats warned right up to her. She sent great photos and videos of them while we were away and was very communicative about when she’d be there to care for them. We can’t wait to book with her again for our next trip!”

“I'm so grateful to have found Bethany! I booked her for 5 nights with walks at my house and she took amazing care of my huge Newfoundland, Ted. He actually had an injury and the care and attention she showed him while I was gone completely warmed my heart. She treated him like he was her own and went overboard to make sure he was walked, fed, snacked, and loved constantly. Bethany also took great care of my home! She was in constant communication with me which really helped my anxiety with leaving him! (First time) Ted absolutelyyyy loved her too. So happy to have found her on here and highly recommend her.”

“Morgan was amazing. She was constantly sending updates and pictures of Rigs and I never had to worry for a single second. And my house was cleaner than I left it when I got home. I will definitely be using Morgan again!!!”

About: I’ve had animals as long as I can remember, I’ve puppy trained, potty trained and helped others grow a bigger bond with their furry friends. 10 years of experience I currently work remote, my wife is a stay at home mom who caters to our dog already. We would love to give your best friend the best care they deserve I have 3 dog parks in my development as well as 2 tubs of dog toys inside our home, and plenty of room for long walks around our neighborhood I am currently working remote, so I will always be home to cater and love on your fur baby. I try to take walks every 2 hours to stretch my legs and to grab fresh air. I have a fenced home and a beautiful pup to keep yours entertained. However, should you not want them to meet i also have 2 floors, and can keep them separated so i stay with our guest while my wife is with ours.

“Nicole was a fantastic find. We rescued Ellie Mae 3 weeks ago, but had a planned family vacation and no one to leave her with. We decided it would be best for Ellie Mae to leave her in the home she was becoming accustomed to and have someone stay here. We had a meet and greet with Nicole and were immediately impressed with her. She sent texts with pictures and stayed in touch the entire time we were gone. Just a few of the things she did that we didn’t ask for or expect was clean the house, run the dishwasher, wash towels and water the plants. We could not be more pleased with her and highly recommend Nicole.”

“Such a great sitter! Snow always enjoys having AnnaMarie visit and sit with her.”

About: I have experience training and caring for dogs and cats. I Specialize in dogs with hearing issues/ deafness. Both of my dogs are graduates of multiple behavioral and obedience classes resulting in our therapy certifications. We visit a multitude of schools, hospitals and other wellness centers. All volunteer work done by my companions and myself is strictly a passion and non profit. I was inspired by a visitation to my grandfather by a golden retriever, when my grandfather was in the hospital for open heart surgery. Seeing my grandfathers reaction to a dog visitation while he was in the hospital was a monumental moment for me that further inspired my passion and drive to work with dogs. I currently work early mornings for a government agency as an officer which gives me a lot of available free time at off times of the day and week. Making me readily available to care for your pets . A fenced yard is a must. My dogs are trained and raised to be curious and outgoing, thus a fence is needed. Although my dogs don’t need a leash, I find it’s necessary to generally have a leash attached. I allow my dogs to be curious, and put there noses where many wouldn’t generally allow. It’s important to always cover your stove switches/ burners with dog safety devices!. But ultimately I strongly believe in allowing your dogs and pets to be curious and open to learning. Dogs and cats alike are much smarter then most realize, and I believe this is there first time living as well.. and deserve the best experiences life has to offer!

“Toni was great! We received lots of picture and video updates and we were very happy with the communication. Our pups took to her from the first meet and greet. Toni is our go to sitter for when we need our dogs watched at our home for a weekend.”

“Allison really helped us out when our travel plans fell apart. Having her with our dog was our only peace of mind with so many things up in the air.”

About: I am a retired elementary school principal and a life-long dog owner. Spending my days and nights in the company of dogs is a labor of love. I know how stressful it is to leave one's dog in the care of others, and I strive to provide my guests with the level of care and attention that I hope my dogs would be provided in my absence. My home is 100% dog friendly. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and have dog-door unlimited access to a fenced in back yard and deck area. I am pleased to host dogs Up to 40 lbs.. This requirement may be waived for exceptionlly gentle larger dogs. Guest dogs must get along well with other dogs. I have a chihuahua and cannot host aggressive dogs. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

About: I grew up with animals my entire life. I have 4 dogs currently and I walk them 3x a day. They are like my children. I’ve taken care of them since they were puppies. I’ve given them showers and take them to the dog park. It’s apart of my everyday life. I make sure I have time to walk them 3x a day. I also love taking them to dog parks I make sure they all have beds and or comfortable places to rest, they have a bunch of toys and a crate to put back when they are done. We play together and spend time in our backyard.

“Do not hesitate is hire Kathy! She is reliable, TRUSTWORTHY and my Poptart's new friend for life! Kathy stayed at our house for few nights while we were out of town hosting our daughter's wedding and Kathy took the greatest care of my furry buddy. I am currently planning my next trip and Kathy will be the one I call to stay and care for our beloved Poptart!”
