“Jamie was absolutely incredible with our 2 puppies while we were gone on vacation. She always sent great updates and multiple pictures at each visit, we can definitely tell that our puppies adored her, and we appreciate her so much. Will definitely be using Jamie again in the future!”
“Danielle did a great job for a couple drop ins on the weekend. She gave nice detailed reports on what they did and my dogs behavior. And she managed to get some amazing professional looking pics of our very unphotogenic dog 😅 We are very happy with her services!”
“Our boys were cared for, our home in good order and we were sent adorable photos each day. We were at ease with our dogs under Kayla’s care. Thank you!”

About: I have cared for dogs since I was 11. I have walked, fed, bathed, and occasionally trained breeds large and small often in multiple pet households. In recent years, I have house sat and pet sat for multiple pet homes and currently have a senior black lab mix and a young black lab pointer mix of my own. Summer Hours are more open. Available AM and PM. My typical schedule if fairly flexible, so I have plenty of time to play with, exercise, and assist in pet care and enrichment. I look forward to meeting more furry friends! I always love to chat and ask clarifying questions up front. Consideration and understanding of a pet and their family's rules and routines is a must, not only for consistency but also out of respect for you and your pets home and daily lives.
“Kristin is always on time for drop ins for our 2 older dogs and a puppy. It’s great to know she will be there to keep them on their schedule!”
“This is my second time having Ella watch my two kitties. She was wonderful! This time around, one of my kitties had medical needs (multiple medications & SQ fluids) & my other was experience separation anxiety. Ella took special care with both of them and adjusted care to help address my kitty’s separation issues. She had wonderful communication and helped me feel better about leaving my fur babies for so long. Will have Ella sit for them again!”
“Alicia was great! She provided good updates, did all the necessary pet care tasks, plus a couple basic home tasks. She wasn’t judgey of my cluttered house, which is a big bonus, and really seemed to put the time in with my cats.”
“Mikayla is awesome! She provided the sweetest care and great updates we have the shy cat who never appears and Mikayla was able to coax her out of her shell for pets and appearances which we appreciated so much! Mikayla also added extra appointments to provide care and it was so kind of her! We will refer Mikayla to all our friends and totally use her again!”
“Lee was great to have on such short notice! He was great a communicating with me, and was so good to my dogs! I would recommend Lee to anyone!”
“Anna went above and beyond caring for my husky & labradoodle. We had an urgent need to leave town and I was lost to what to do. I had never used this app before, but I’m so glad Anna responded! She was amazing. She also takes the BEST pictures! Thank you Anna!”
“Jane is great with my little Yorkie mix. He is older and needs someone that is patient and understanding- tailoring his activity level to what he wants/needs. I can tell Jane really loves animals and is very caring - just who I was looking for! I will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Absolutely thrilled with Rachel's services as a cat sitter for the past week! She was simply incredible with Ellie, showing genuine care and affection that made all the difference. Her communication was superb, keeping us updated with regular photos and messages. Rachel went above and beyond, ensuring Ellie was not only well-fed and safe but also happy and engaged. We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter and highly recommend her to anyone in need of exceptional pet care! Thank you, Rachel!”
About: While working at a dog/cat/critter boarding, daycare and grooming business for four years, I was able to build upon my pet care experience. In addition, I have taken care of a rescue mother and her ten puppy litter from birth through adoption. I adopted the mother and cared for her through heartworm treatments and c-section recovery. Shy and anxious dogs are my specialty. I am very comfortable with rescue and medicine dependent pets. My schedule is very flexible. I am available days, nights and weekends. Pet walks, playtime and drop-ins are no problem. I am open to last minute needs and other special requests. I have been petsitting for friends and family for over twenty years. I always send photos and updates if that's something you enjoy. I will absolutely evaluate any safety needs and update you if I observe any health concerns.
“I was so nervous to leave my puppy for the first time but Elizabeth totally put my mind at ease. She sent pictures, was on time for visits, and texted me updates. She was flexible when I got sent home from work early and no longer needed her, and also flexible when I scheduled a visit last minute! I have used her twice now for my puppy and have been satisfied each time. I trust her and she was very calm, kind, and my puppy loved her.”

About: I have had an enormous love for animals ever since I was little. When I finally adopted my own dog, I finally understood what level of trust it takes for someone to take care of your animals. I would provide the level of care that I would expect for my own dog! I love walking and running and enjoy cuddles just as much as my dog does. I have worked really hard to teach my dog proper manners and tricks and understand the dedication it takes to own an animal! I hope I can be the extra set of hands that your dog may need! For House-Sitting: I do work a full time job (7-3:30) M-F but work two days remotely (W,F). I would be able to provide lunch potty breaks when I am in the office and would be able hang out with your pet all day on my remote days. I can also provide extra tasks that may be needed while you are away (watering plants, cleaning, giving a pet a bath, etc). When watching pets in their home, I keep to their schedule as much as possible. Schedules are important for animals and can help ease any anxieties when their owners are away! I want pets to be as comfy with me as possible!
