Luke did a great job! He house sat with our dog over the weekend. Left our house super clean - did a through run down of daily activities when we return. Our dog was sad to see him leave. He arrived early which was a bonus bc we needed a minute to go over specifics before we left. Great job highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Kelsey is an amazing sitter! Our dog Gypsy took to her immediately, and they had the best time. Kelsey is so good at sending updates on how everything is going. She kept my house in perfect condition. It’s such an ease on my mind that she comes and stays and keeps Gypsy in her element. Highly recommend Kelsey!

About: I’ve taken care of various breeds of dogs for years, i’m also trained to administer medications if need be for your special needs pups. Don’t fret or worry about your pets while on vacation, i will update you with pictures and texts everyday. I myself am a dog mom to five fur kids and understand the want to make sure your pets are in great hands. I currently do dog sitting full time so I will have plenty of time to play, care for, and give potty breaks for your fur kids! I stay in touch with the owner of the pet to ensure safety and trust, I also prefer to have a description of daily care and needs so your pup can keep his/her routine while you are away.

Gina did a great job petsitting our cat and dog for an overnight at our house. In addition to scheduling a meet and greet before house-sitting, she kept us updated with her arrival and departure time and shared photo updates with us during the stay. Our place was clean and tidy when we returned, and our pets seemed happy and content!

Tina was wonderful with our puppy. He had never had a pet sitter before, and she took excellent and loving care of him, with lots of play time, exercise, and even some training. He even cried when she left! We will definitely ask her to take care of him again.

About: Animals have a special place in my heart. Got my first dog at 12 and the love grew from there. I've worked at rescue centers as well as horse farms. Any animal and I'm in love. Our furry friends take care of us and deserve the same treatment right back! Happy to answer any questions! I'm currently a college student who also works on campus. No matter the workload or other school activities, I always have time to help out a furry friend! For work I work at a doggy day care/boarding services for all animals! I don't have any animals in my apartment, so it would be one-on-one care. Your furry baby will have all the attention it needs! For other services, I am more than happy to meet in person or virtually. Your pet is your baby, and whatever you need to feel secure, I will provide!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 14, living with them longer. I also currently live on a farm and have good hands when it comes to working with animals! I’m a college student, home for holidays, and sometimes weekends! I have an open schedule most holidays and can come home over a weekend if needed! A safe, leash-controlled environment ensures pets enjoy outdoor activities responsibly, with supervised play, regular walks, and plenty of attention, prioritizing their comfort, health, and safety.

About: Friendly sitter with experience with senior pups, cats and chickens. I currently have two wonderful dogs and a handful of chickens. One of our dogs is what we believe is a Foxhound and the other is a Shepherd mix. Both are rescues so we are not sure. I also have experience with cats, parrots (green crowned conure) and various farm animals. Update: I no longer work from home. I am now in Richmond M-F, 8-5. I am happy to stop by during my lunch break to check on your babies in the city. Any other surrounding areas would have to be weekends and not during work hours. Apologies for any inconvenience! I am happy to stop by your home and care for your pets. One of my pups is reactive and we do not want to make her (or your baby) uncomfortable by bringing other pets into our space.

About: I've been a devoted dog lover and caregiver since I was 14, accumulating over a decade of hands-on experience with our furry friends. From energetic daily walks to cozy overnight boarding, I've done it all. Whether it's a quick potty break, a long adventure-filled walk, or extended stays, I have the experience to ensure your pup receives the best care possible. My years of practice have taught me to understand and respond to each dog's unique needs, making every pet-sitting experience positive and tailored to your furry family member. I'm currently working remotely with flexible hours and have availability throughout the day all seven days. Since I take care of my own dog, I spend at least two hours outside a day and pet care is incorporated throughout my routine. My approach to pet care is tailored to each dog's unique needs, whether I'm caring for them in my home or theirs. I've worked with a wide range of dogs, from anxious and timid to energetic and even aggressive ones that needed special handling. In-home care: I maintain the dog's routine, following your instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise. For anxious dogs, I provide a calm, reassuring presence. For high-energy pups, I ensure plenty of physical and mental stimulation. Home boarding: I create a safe, welcoming space in my home. For dogs needing special accommodations, like those who can't be around others, I provide separate, secure areas. Daily walks and visits: I adapt to each dog's pace and stamina, always attentive to their comfort level and adjusting activities as needed. Regardless of the service, my priority is the dog's well-being and happiness. I'm committed to providing loving, attentive care that respects each dog's individual personality and needs, drawing on my experience with diverse canine temperaments and behaviors.

About: I've always had animals in my household since I can remember, so I understand the importance of caring for our four-legged friends as the cherished family members they are! It's important to provide pets with the love and care they need, and I will ensure that your animal(s) are well looked after while you're away! I care for pets anytime outside of my work schedule over summer, during my free time, and at night for house sitting! I have a lot of morning & evening availability, and I'm free on most weekends-- my schedule will let you know! I've had experience caring for small to big dogs, along with cats, hamsters, mini horses, chickens, and even fish. I ensure they are all fed and taken outside (if needed) under a consistent schedule. Also, don't worry about them being alone and bored, as I absolutely LOVE playing and being with any animals!

About: What sets me apart from all sitters is my deep depth for all animals. As a child, I have always developed a love for animals. My love and compassion for animals spilled over into the education field working with students with special needs. Presently, I have four rescue cats, two classroom guinea pigs, and four dogs, one of which is a rescue. I volunteer with my country's animal shelter, and I have fostered and saved many animals. My love for critters is endless. I am a teacher, so teachers do not work in the summer. However, I do work teaching summer school and a camp in June. I can work evenings and remain overnight. I have the entire month of July off. My children are grown, so my schedule is flexible. I can provide references. I live in a secluded area, so when I am home, they have free range. My dogs are leash trained. During the day when I am home, they remain in a crate. I live six minutes from work, so they arent in their crates all day. My oldest daughter lives with me, so when I am away, they are taken care of.

About: I have two small dogs who are my world. I love all types of pets, but can make room in my schedule and heart to take care of your dogs and cats. I will board dogs, but can only stop in and check on your cats. I am currently retired and only work some part-time jobs. I am pretty flexible and will work with families to take care of your precious pets. I have a large farm and home and will crate your dogs as needed. They will love the open space for walks and play. I will keep all pets separated for a more stress-free experience.

About: I have had a variety of animals my whole life! I absolutely love being around animals and spending time with them. I have taken care of dogs of all ages, all the way from newborn to seniors! I am available on weekdays only. I do work a breakfast shift (5am-11am) Wednesday to Saturday. However, I am available the rest of the day! I will have plenty of time to tend to your animals and take care of their needs. I have a very large unfenced yard that would be great for leashed activities like walking and going potty. I also have a fenced area that’s perfect for some unleashed outdoor time. I would keep any pets inside most of the time to ensure safety while I am with them. I do have a crate that I could keep your pet in while I am at work (if your baby is crate trained). All animals are allowed to roam the house and sleep in the bed if that’s allowed at home!
