“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”
“Star and Jack did an amazing job taking care of my senior girls. This is my first time using them and will definitely rebook. I felt so confident that my pups were getting the ABSOLUTE best care while I was away. So happy that I book them!”
“We hit the jackpot with Lindsey! She watched our 4 pets after a last minute booking and did a wonderful job of following our instructions/requests and keeping us informed every day. One of our dogs got sick and she quickly notified us. We came home to some happy animals!”
“Amelia was reliable and responded to all my messages in a timely manner. It was my first time using Rover and both of our first experience with overnight visits. Louis is aging and does not do well alone. Not only did she take excellent care of my Louis but she left my home as I left it. She even washed the bath towels she used while she stayed. I highly recommend Amelia. She is trustworthy and I look forward to using her again!”
“Ronda was not only efficient and responsive, sharing twice-daily feedback about the care and feeding of our two kitties, but she was also able to establish an affectionate bond with them during our 16-day absence. We are pleased to give Ronda 5 stars and would highly recommend her.”
“Billy was the perfect Dog Sitter. All four of my dogs loved him immediately. He took such good care of them. He was prompt, courteous, attentive to all of my dogs. He was fantastic, and I will certainly use him again.”
About: Hello, I have been taking care of a wide range of animals since I was 15. I’ve had 5 ferrets, guinea pigs, cats and dogs my whole life. I have a Staffordshire terrier, an American bully, and a black lab/ leopard catahoula mix. I am used to having a heavy dog on the opposite end of the leash and I am well experienced in animal body language to keep your baby and myself safe. I am currently looking for a full time job as a stay at home mom. Right now I am available during the day. The only times I will not be available is from 7:50- 8:10 am and 3:40-4:00 I will make sure any and all instructions are followed correctly to ensure adequate and safe service. Plus a few head rubs before I left.
“Raniya was great to work with. She took really good care of my dogs, always showed up on time and spent time with them and kept an open line of communication with her. We have already booked her for another stay and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for pet sitting. This was our first time doing this and it was a very pleasant experience and kept our dogs from being kenneled 24/7 at a boarding facility.”
About: Hi! I’m 26 years old, i have been around animals my whole life. I have my own 2 dogs. Moose and Maverick, they are labs. One yellow lab and one chocolate. I’m a SAHM who’s looking to help you watch your animals while being able to care for my 1 year old daughter. :) I am a SAHM so i’m currently home all the time with my 1 year old, so i’m able to feed the dogs and let them out all through the day to go potty or play! At my house, i have a fence in the backyard where the dogs can run. I have 2 friendly labs who would love to have some friends to play with! We also have crates if ever needed.
About: I adopted my first dog, Ollie, when I was 18 years old. Shortly after I discovered he was suffering from kidney failure and epilepsy. This resulted in frequent vet visits and daily medications, and I'm comfortable administering medication to your pets. Now, I have three cats that I've had for almost five years, living their best lives. I love my pets and I'm looking forward to giving your best friends the same level of love and care. I work part-time and my schedule is generally flexible. Tuesdays and Thursdays are the only days I'm not available, and I'm typically available from morning to evening. Daily care routine starts in the morning with food, medication, and cleaning litter boxes. My cats are dog friendly and I live in close proximity to a park. I have no issue crating pets.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and even rabbits since my family has taken in stray animals. We help them have the love they need until they are ready to find a permanent home. Currently I’m a student part-time so I will have the ability for the weekends and Wednesday and Thursday! Changes can be made for different days of the week. I have my partner in crime, Camilo, who can also make company to your lovely child in our days of fun! But for both of us respect and maintaining boundaries in someone’s home is always the rule of thumb!
About: I am very reliable and will treat your pet/animals like my own. I love animals dearly! I will always take the time to update the owner with pictures and messages. I am currently working a part-time job. I will definitely have time to care for your animals! I am open to answering any questions or concerns you may have. I live on my a small farm with my family. We also have 6 cats and 2 dogs. I have a lot of experience with farm animals, feeding schedules and much more!
“I can’t recommend Sam highly enough! She sent so many pics and little updates throughout the entire weekend and took THE BEST care of our pups. She’s such an example of going above and beyond! Both of our dogs have some tricky behaviors and Sam didn’t even bat an eye. She was patient with our slow-to-warm-up dog and I didn’t have to worry about our babies for a second. My only complaint is that she can’t move to our new house with us!!”
About: My name is Charne! I used to have an English black lab who became my service baby and was the sweetest boy on this planet. I always knew I wanted to work with animals growing up. Weather that was rescuing them or just sharing my love with them!! I am certified for wildlife animal rescue as well. I am very active and would love to do outdoor/indoor fun activities with your pets!! I am experienced in special care for pets like medication, injections, wound care, etc. Animals are life and without them where would our hearts be! I’ve always had pets from the age of 0 until now! Growing up I was raised with three dogs, two cats, and always two birds! My parents always told me you can tell a lot about a person on how they treat animals!! I currently live with my Fiancé and we rescued our pup Zeppelin from an abusive home 5 years ago. He has now grown to realize that love does exist, kisses are always wanted, and the couch/bed is the most comfortable place on earth!! He has severe allergies so I have experience in prepping a raw diet to fit his allergy needs! We also have a cat named Sage. She’s my baby and our snuggles are my favorite part of the day! I’d love to share my love & care with other furry friends!! I currently own my own silversmithing business and make jewelry full-time, in my home and on my schedule so my availability is completely open!!! 🥰 I follow instructions to the T!! I understand that every pet has their own individual needs & requirements and those need to be met in order to keep them happy, by sticking to their known schedule! I unfortunately do not allow in home pet setting at my house as our dog was a rescue and we are still not comfortable him being around other animals for longer than an hour as his patience can run out. For the safety of our pets, I’m more than happy to pet sit in your home!! I have years of experience with different pups, volunteering at rescues and rescuing animals myself, so their safety and care will always be my top priority! Also giving unlimited love :))

“Cora H. Is a very responsible person who loves animals! Her experience with 4-H animals has set her up to responsibly pet sit. Cora has taken care of our two cats and we were never concerned about them as they were well fed, petted and loved. She also took care of their kitty litters and everything was neat and clean when we got home. Cora looks after every detail with all pets. I would highly recommend Cora for all your pet sitting needs. Sincerely, Margaret V.”
