“Honestly, it couldn't have gone better. They were respectful, timely, and communicated clearly. Everything we could have asked for. Couldn't recommend them more!”

“Maricela is fantastic. She was very skilled at caring for our elderly pup, and gave us terrific updates and photos. When we came home from our trip, Maggie was happy to see us but had clearly had a great time with Maricela - she got plenty of attention, walks, and was relaxed and happy girl. The house was spotless, just as we left it. Highly recommended!”

“Dear Craig, Can’t that you enough for making time in your schedule to take care of Angus during my medical stay! It was such a relief that he was in your care again! Best, Leslie”

“Ashley was great. She was easy to communicate with and took great care of our house and our dogs while we were away for the weekend! We look forward to using her as our dog-sitter again in the future!”

“I truly can't say enough good things about Heidi—she was absolutely amazing! From our very first meet and greet, I knew my dogs were in great hands. Throughout her stay, she went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Heidi is incredibly thorough, a fantastic communicator, and was completely on top of my dogs' needs. It was such a relief to know they were with someone so attentive and trustworthy. My dogs absolutely adored her—and so did we! We will definitely be having her back. Highly recommend!”

“So thankful for Felicia! She truly is top notch and takes such good care of our sassy pup!! Our doggie is very selective to whom she likes and she loves Felicia ! That speaks for itself!!! 10000% recommend!”

“Tasia was the perfect sitter for my fur family! Tasia and my dog had an instant bond, and Tasia's background with higher-needs pups gave me the confidence that my rescue Staffy would be in good hands. Tasia was communicative throughout her stay.”

“Sarah was great! Sent pictures and was timely on her check ins with our two pups! Very patient and understanding with dogs who struggle with meeting new people. We will have her help again!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love spending time with all kinds of animals. I’m the person who always gets down to play with the pets at any house I visit. I’m a certified Wilderness First Responder, so I know basic pet and people first aid, which helps me keep pets safe and happy. I’m caring, patient, and always make sure every pet feels loved and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently taking a gap year after graduating high school, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, and overnight stays. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I’m available to give your pet the attention they deserve. I always make safety my top priority. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and follow instructions carefully. Whether I’m at your home or out on a walk, I keep things calm, safe, and fun. You can count on me to treat your pet like part of my family.
“Lena is the best! On of our cats has Chronic Kidney Disease and needs to eat 10-12 times/day, and most meals need a medication or supplement included. Additionally, he needs frequent litter box changes, extra water and close monitoring. Lena handled it all with grace and kindness and also made time for playtime with our other cat. My only annoyance is that Rover wouldn’t let me tip her as much as I wanted to.”

“Lynn took excellent care of our high maintenance French bulldogs while we’re out of the country on an eight day vacation. Our Frenchie hazy is paralyzed in a wheelchair requiring bladder expressions multiple times per day and Lynn was able to adhere to her complex needs, medications and schedule. Despite all the attention provided to Hazy, Lynn did not fail to tend to our needy Frenchton Peppers who struggles with separation anxiety and can have temperament issues. She provided both dogs with love and attention. Overall, we had great experience and would rehire Lynn again to care for our dogs.”

About: I’ve been talking care of all types of dogs since I was 10. Started small with just family and around the neighborhood but as I got older I’ve had many people ask for me to pet sit or just bring their dog for a walk. Give their animal some love! I’m currently working a part time job and enrolled in college for nursing so college breaks and holidays work best for me. Although, come summer I will be able to have more flexibility due to not being away at college. Always wanting to get exercise and play with animals so if walking your dog or checking in is what you need then I’m the perfect person for that. I have an invisible fence that my puppy Lola uses. She is super friendly but very vocal. I’m in a safe neighborhood where animals are well loved. My backyard is huge with lots of space to run and a great pool that my dog loves to swim in. If we are at your home then I will make sure I am aware of the surroundings before so I can best accommodate for the safety of both myself and the animals.
“Kym was great! I enjoyed getting to know her before we left. She came twice to visit and meet with YellowCat. He's generally shy around strangers but warmed up to her during her stay in our home. She took care of him and the house. Clean, Responsive, Responsible...I felt very comfortable having her stay and grateful to find her for YellowCat!”

About: Every animal has a story. Mine began long before I ever thought of pet care as a service — it began with connection. From the shy pup curled in the corner to the elderly dog whose slow steps spoke of trust earned, I’ve learned that every animal communicates in its own language of wagging tails, soft purrs, and trusting eyes. Over decades, I’ve walked alongside puppies discovering grass for the first time and supported senior dogs whose gentle steps reflect a lifetime of loyalty. With every house sit, I’m not just caring for pets — I’m honoring the bond you share with them, giving reassurance through consistent routines, heartfelt playtimes, and quiet moments of comfort. What sets me apart is not only my experience but my ability to read body language, anticipate needs, and bring peace of mind to both pets and their humans. Pets are the rhythm of my day — they shape my mornings with excitement and my evenings with calm connection. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to be present for walks when the air is crisp, for quiet cuddle time when hearts need soothing, and for check-ins that give owners peace of mind. I simply ask for a day’s notice so I can plan the best moments with your beloved companion. Your pet’s safety is my promise. In my one-story home filled with warmth and gentle energy, two rescue cats have taught me the art of patience, play, and respect for personal space. Our quiet neighborhood offers leash-friendly strolls and ample paths to explore at a comfortable pace. I ensure a calm, structured, and loving environment that supports routine, comfort, and trust.
“I can’t recommend Heather highly enough. She was so sweet with our dogs and very thorough during our initial meeting. While we were out of town, she stayed at our house and went above and beyond caring for babies and our space- she vacuumed at the end of her stay and even shoveled our deck, both without being asked. Each day we were gone, Heather sent us multiple photos and updates. We would book with her again in a heartbeat!”

“Jeanelle took great care of our girl Gretchen while we were out of town for a few days. Very communicative with us and attentive to our pup. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a while. I had two dogs of my own and I would walk them, feed them, bath them, and do medications. I can train dogs to sit, come, and stay down. I worked at a vet clinic so I can read dogs behaviors and I know how to act accordingly. Once again I have experience with walking, playing, feeding, grooming, bathing, medications, and a little training. I am currently studying to get my Bachelors in Social Work online! So my time is very flexible. I have a commitment on some thursday mornings but really i’m very free. I will be offering walks and feedings and play time at your house. I can safely walk your dog around other dogs. Along with feedings and spending some time with your dog. Cats I can do feedings and playtime and let your cat in or out if it an outside cat. I’m happy to clean litter boxes. Or bath any animal, as well as give any medications needed.
About: I've been taking care of dogs, cats, and all manner of household or farm animals since I was a little girl. I spent 10 years working with dogs professionally and gained my CPDT-KA certification in 2020. Puppies are my specialty, and I love getting to work with them on learning the ropes! I am able to do animal care full time on weekends and in the evenings during the week. I have a young daughter I care for during the day. I always make sure pets have what they need to thrive; attention, interaction, the basic necessities, and exercise to help them stay relaxed while their humans aren't around. I am able to offer in home services currently.
