“We were pretty nervous about having someone in our home to take care of our pets, and have always relied on boarding with out vet, in the past. Shanelle is the first person who we have ever had housesit with our pets. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats. We have had her stay 2 or 3 times, and one time for over a week. She is wonderful! She is the sweetest, kindest person, and really seems to care about our home and our pets. Her fiance helps her from time to time and he is also very nice and reliable. Besides doing everything that was expected, she also made sure our newly planted grass was watered every day, and took our 9 month old puppy to her own home for a playdate with her own dogs. Our house was clean and in perfect order when we got home. We can't thank Shanelle enough for such a great experience, and we highly recommend her! We will have her stay again, for sure!”

“Nate was totally awesome, he took perfect care of our high energy border collie pups while we were away. He was diligent in the care we requested, always respectful and most importantly I could tell our dogs were happy and satisfied when we got back from our vacation. I would 100% recommend him for your pet care needs!”

“Carson did a wonderful job house sitting with our German Shepherd for 1 week. She sent pictures and updates. We were quite comfortable leaving our boy, Jax, in her care. I would not hesitate using Carson again in the future.”


About: I have extensive experience caring for animals, as I’ve had pets in my home since I was a baby. Growing up around pets taught me responsibility at a young age, including feeding, grooming, cleaning, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets and have become very attentive to their needs, behaviors, and routines. I understand how important it is to provide not just basic care, but also companionship, patience, and love. My lifelong experience has made me confident in handling different personalities and ensuring pets are well cared for while their owners are away. I am a full time college student and work a part time job as a server. Most of my availability is in the mornings on weekdays and weekends as needed. I am a reliable and caring pet sitter with extensive experience providing private pet care for families. Over time, I’ve built trust with pet owners by consistently showing up on time, following specific care instructions, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ve cared for pets with different routines, temperaments, and needs, which has made me adaptable and attentive in any situation. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering basic care, or simply spending quality time with pets, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while their owners are away.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 13 and house sat since I was 15!! I was also a kennel tech for a year! This included giving medication, bathing, feeding, and just plain old watching the pets! I know CPR for our fury friends too! I have two dogs of my own as well as four cats so I am completely comfortable with a variety. I am a college student working on my masters online while working another job as well. My schedule is pretty straight forward for me so pet care will fit well as long as I keep my calendar balanced. I am comfortable house sitting for both dogs and cats. I am more than capable of crating or letting pets out to potty. I usually keep treats on me anytime I care for a furry friend. When I walk animals, I usually go for 30 minutes to an hour so that they get the excercise needed. I also have bags for when they do their business on a walk.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our puppy for our first time leaving him with someone else. She took great care of Winston and sent us many fun pictures showing how much fun he was having with her. She was great at sticking to his schedule we had in place already including food and naps as puppies need there naps. She was very good about communicating and asking questions if need be. I highly recommend Gabriella.”

“Lauren was an amazing house sitter!! She was great about sending photos and updates on how our dogs were doing, and she left the house spotless! We would definitely book with her again!!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, starting with fostering puppies through senior dogs. I’m experienced with different temperaments, routines, and basic care like feeding, walks, and medications. My neighbors trust me to watch their pets when they’re away, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cherished. I treat every dog like my own and prioritize their happiness and well-being. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I do my best to accommodate last-minute bookings when possible! I’m available most weekdays and weekends, especially mornings and evenings. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand every pet has different needs and responsibilities, so I focus on patience and making them feel safe.
“Leo was thoughtful, proactive and communicative. He regularly checked in, was patient and kind, and even got good feedback from the neighbors. When the dog was sick he took time to pick up meds for her and to share how she was doing throughout his stay. Thanks for caring for Mabel, Leo!”

About: I've been lucky enough to take care of homes and pets in lots of different places, like California, Oregon, and even other countries. All that experience has helped me become really good at providing reliable and loving care for both pets and their people. I’m really good at going with the flow and can easily change my schedule to fit what a pet needs. Whether it’s walking the dog early in the morning, playing with them in the afternoon, or feeding them at night, I’m always flexible and ready to adjust. I always do exactly what my clients ask me to do, whether it’s about feeding their pet on time, giving them medicine, or teaching them good behavior. I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets, so I try to make their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible.

“Susan was phenomenal! She was so attentive to Izzy’s needs and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable. I loved getting photo updates and can’t explain how much stress it takes off this cat mom knowing she’s in good hands when I leave town!”

“Annicka was a pleasure to work with! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and easy to talk to. During our initial meeting, she asked thoughtful, detailed questions about our puppy’s care, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout her time with him, she was reliable and kept us well-informed with great updates. We felt completely confident leaving our pup in her care and would absolutely utilize her again, as well as recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”


“Amanda was AMAZING! I trusted her as soon as I met her, and my animals immediately adored her. She sent me photos every day, kept me up to date on their quirks, and left my home in immaculate condition. I was so thrilled to have her, and I know my pets were happy, too! I think one of my cats still misses her!”

“I would strongly recommend Adrienne to anyone who needs a dog sitter. She is just amazing. She did an overnight in-home sitting job with our dog Ryder and I couldn’t have been more impressed. Ryder is a high energy dog who loves attention and lots of interaction. Adrienne kept him perfectly on schedule and provided great companionship for him. She sent frequent updates and pictures and I felt completely at ease knowing he was so well cared for. She also took the time to learn about his needs and schedule and personality before the job. I I will definitely be seeking out her talents again!”

“Jessica stayed with our pups over the weekend. She sent updates and reached out if she had any questions. We returned home and I couldn't even tell she had been here because the house was just as we left it. We are already booked for Christmas.”
