“Megan responded quickly after a previous sitter cancelled after I was already on vacation. She spent multiple hours playing with my cats over many visits making sure they were being loved on and even brought in packages. She took a ton of pictures for me and assured me Henry and Kip were doing great! I will definitely be using her again!!!”


“Karen was wonderful with Lucy during her drop in visits. I loved all the photos and positive updates she provided. I highly recommend her especially for senior dogs who are insulin dependent. Lucy enjoyed the special attention and love during my absence.”


“We are so happy we hired Elijah to watch our fur babies. Our pups were comfortable in their own home and Elijah kept us updated when he was going to visit them and he sent us pictures of their squishy smiling faces. We have an English and American bulldog and Elijah was very attentive with them. We highly recommend Elijah.”


“Samantha took great care of my cats while I was out of town. She is dependable and great with communication. She definitely kept me at ease during my first trip away from my kitten.”


“Yuliya goes above and beyond to take care of our dog and make sure she is not lonely. We are so grateful she is so caring.”


“Jessica was amazing with my cat Leo! She kept the litter box sparkling clean and gave him lots of love while I was gone. Definitely would rebook!”


About: I love animals and have adopted both of mine; dog 10years old and cat who is 4years old. I am very understanding we take trips, visit families, work late and I know how hard and worrisome it is trying to find someone for our fur babies just to make sure they are ok. I’ve had pets since I was 5; birds, hamster, turtles and dogs. I do have a full time job; I get off of work pretty early making it easier for me to have evening availability and weekends off. I make sure the house is cleaned, pets are fed, their area has everything that is needed. If they’re outdoors I will look around the house/yard to ensure gates are closed and there is no danger outside.

About: I have had pets since I was able to walk starting with a bunny. I absolutely love all animals, and I dogsit/catsit for multiple friends, teammates and family members when needed! I am currently doing observation hours over this summer with a physical therapy clinic but, I am able to make my own hours so I can move my schedule around for what is needed! I do not have any furry other friends at home currently only a leopard gecko which his tank is in my room. I live in a complex with a pool and a dog park which is great for taking doggies to walk around and play!

“Riley was nothing short of amazing— I needed a last minute dog sitter and she was so quick and communicative to accept my request. Not only did my dogs love her but I loved how well she took care of them. She updated me throughout and I highly recommend her and absolutely will request in the future! Thank you Riley!”


“Serena was able to check in on our cat over the weekend even though our request was last minute. She followed our instructions and sent lots of cute photos. We would book again!”


“Savannah was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Billie, and I could not possibly give a stronger recommendation for someone to care for your pet! She was very diligent, communicative, and took lots of cute videos of Billie playing happily, so that I felt at ease knowing she was well cared for. Savannah clearly makes animals feel comfortable, and my cat was very calm and affectionate towards her, which she almost never is with strangers. Thank you so much, Savannah, and I will be reaching out to you again next time I’m out of town!”


“Juanita was amazing! She went above and beyond and all our dogs warmed up to her instantly. Will definitely be regular clients. The pictures she took of our three boys were super cute too and great for peace of mind when we are so far away.”


About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments—including pregnant mamas and newborn pups—I bring more than just love to pet sitting. I’ve assisted in safe deliveries, cared for litters, and provided round-the-clock attention to dogs with special needs. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and training, so their good habits stay strong even while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, behavior reinforcement, or late-night check-ins, your pet will be cared for like they’re my own. I plan my day around the pets I care for. From morning walks to evening check-ins, their needs come first, and I always make sure to give them structure, love, and attention throughout the day. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, their comfort and routine are my top priority. I adapt to their personality and needs—whether that means active play, extra snuggles, or sticking to a specific training or feeding schedule. I always aim to provide a calm, loving, and reliable environment they can feel secure in.

“Had a first time drop-in visit and went very well. Stephanie was very knowledgeable and very nice on how to care for your pets. My Chico will be happy when we schedule our next appointment with Stephanie.”


About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds. I grew up with small and large dogs as well as cats and I’d love to get to know other types of pets. I’m currently working part time. So I do have plenty of time to take care of any and all animals between shifts and throughout the week. I love quality time with animals and making sure they know someone’s there for them. I also have a dog park and multiple nice areas for your furry friend to have fun.

About: After begging my mom for days, I spent all of my money to buy my first dog when I was 10. I have always been a lover of all pets and love to play with animals. I also walk my own dogs almost everyday! I am also bilingual (Spanish). I walk my two dogs, a poodle mix and Chocolate Lab almost everyday! I groom them constantly and would love to help out with other families in need! I always make sure my own pets have water and food, spend constant time with them outside, and walk them whenever I have time. I have a natural love for animals, so constantly being with them has always been fun for me!

“Amber was awesome! She sent us pictures, played with him, brushed him and administered medicine. Our dog was so happy and we will definitely use her again.”



About: Greetings pet lovers! I’m a friendly, loving, and laid back person here to help anyone with their pet needs. I’ve been caring for pets since I was little boy. That’s over 20 years of experience! Anything a pet needs I can handle from walks, drop ins, house visits and companionship. I treat all animals just like I would treat my own kids. Firm believer in, Pet Lives Matter too! We have to defend animals in this cruel world, because unfortunately they can defend themselves on a political level. Pet lovers across the world need to recognize this and stand up for pets because they can’t stand up for themselves and voice their opinion. I would love to help you if you need it, anytime I’m available.

About: Hello, my name is Karissa. I am a dog owner looking to care for other dogs of all sizes. I’ve been a dog owner for the last 18 years. I often care for pets belonging to family and friends. I make sure your pet is getting the best care possible when i take care of them. I currently am working full time. (8 hour days) I will be available for pet visits in the AM and at night/before work and after work. Your pet will get adequate care and attention when I arrive at my visits. Whether that is going on walks, throwing their balls, or just loving up on them. I take pride in knowing I’m an amazing dog mom that can love on your fur babies just as much as I love up on my own.

About: I have had furbabies my whole life. I absolutely love taking care of animals! They are a big part of my life. I am excited to help out and meet some new friends! I have three dogs of my own. I am a full time mom of 5 babies, two are humans (one is grown) Lol. I am always loving on them. I will be more than happen than to come to your home were your furbabies are most comfortable.
