Ben did an amazing job watching our two dogs! It was the first time that we have left our puppy with anyone. Therefore, I was bit anxious but Ben was communicative and great with the dogs which put me at ease allowing us to enjoy our long weekend away. I was also very appreciative about his willingness to stay at our house in the middle of nowhere. I highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

Laura was great with our animals. We have 2 dogs and a cat. Old and young-big and little, Laura took care of them all and sent lots of pictures and videos each day. Laura also took care of our house while we were gone. When we came home the house was clean and neat. The bed had been stripped and the sheets washed. Thanks again Laura for allowing us to have a carefree trip.

So amazing!!!! I had never left my sweet baby with anyone except my parents before. But when we all went on vacation together, I had to find someone - I’m SO happy/grateful that I found Bradishia. She knew I was nervous leaving Jelly, so she sent me a lot of pictures and updates which made me feel so much better. She left my apartment VERY clean and spotless and even washed the towels before leaving. She rocks!!

JaNiya is a phenomenal housesitter, especially if you have shy animals (but *any* animal would love her!). We have two skittish greyhounds and a very shy adopted cat. Within one day, our cat was sitting in JaNiya’s lap, and our dogs were relaxed and happy. I couldn’t believe it! She has such a calm, tender presence, and you can tell she adores animals. She’s even studying to be a veterinarian! Do not pass her up! She’s the only housesitter we’ll use from now on!

Kailey is fantastic! She really cared about my kids and me for that matter! She washed and changed my sheets so I had a clean bed to crawl into when I got home. If you want someone who cares about your animals, Kailey's your girl!

About: I have had decades of experience walking and caring for dogs, cats, frogs, lizards, turtles, parrots, poultry and more. I have taken care of big dogs and little dogs, cats and kittens. I am familiar with giving medications to animals, as well. I work part time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I am a licensed paramedic and educator just earning extra income. I keep parrots and poultry currently with cats and dogs. I have had had herps and reptiles in the past, as well. I will treat your pets like they were my own. I know the anxiety of having to leave pets to get out of town and will do everything I can to make sure you don't regret it.

Delaney was fantastic! Was available sort of last-minute and took excellent care of the pets and the house. When I got home, I honestly couldn't tell anyone had even been here, but for the fact that the pets were happy and healthy. :-) She sent updates and pictures, and I never had a worry. I look forward to having her here again.

We would highly recommend Jay! - Always arrived on time - gave medication on the right time - played with and walk the doggie - great communication and very considerate. After a previous the dog sitter cancel the day-of, Jay’s willingness to help and great communication were what we need to calm our minds and hearts - we were already on a cruise and our little girl was by herself. Our doggie is super picky about people (she ignores those she doesn’t care about and plays with those she likes), she is older dog with lots of special needs (medication and stuff). After Jay told me she was playing with her toys, that was such a relief for us, because right then we knew Jay was a good fit for our little Ginger. Details: we hired Jay for 5 days to dog sit for most of the day, as our doggie needs to go out a lot due to her medication and health issues. No accidents seemed had happened and Jay kept the house clean and organized.

Whether it's interactive playtime, cozy naps in sunny spots, or exploring new toys, I'm dedicated to providing a stimulating environment that brings out the best in every pet. So, whether it's a purring cat or a wagging tail, rest assured your beloved pets are in caring hands.

About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and have always been someone friends, neighbors, and family can rely on to help care for their pets. I understand how important it is to feel that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a calm and comforting presence, I aim to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m currently available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 8PM for dog walking, drop-ins, and pet care visits. I also have weekend availability but I’ll have to discuss it with my future clients first. I also offer overnight pet sitting in clients’ homes depending on your pet’s needs and comfort level. I enjoy building routines with pets and making sure they receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I aim to be flexible, dependable, and communicative so both pets and owners feel comfortable and supported. I believe pets deserve patience, attention, and a safe, comforting environment while their owners are away. I enjoy spending quality time with animals through play, walks, cuddles, and giving them plenty of affection and companionship. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions provided by owners to help pets feel secure and comfortable. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I aim to create a calm, loving, and dependable environment where pets feel cared for and safe.

About: I’ve been working with animals for 15 years, caring for dogs, cats, birds. I have handled breeds that are small to very large. I am available for walking, dog park visits, bathing them is optional, and I am open to any breed. I have always been great with pets, we have 3 of our own who are amazing with everyone and other animals. I am very flexible with my schedule. I love to ensure they are getting their exercise as needed, as well as a well rounded diet. I am a stay at home mom so I am very happy to be with them however they require. We use leashes and harnesses for outside. We have a dog park close by that’s fenced in and safe for giving them running time and ability to play freely

Sommer was amazing! Well, it was a last-minute decision to go out of town for the holidays and leave our puppy. We are so happy and lucky we found her. She did multiple overnight stays for us and worked around her schedule and was very diligent and making sure that our puppy was taken care of. I definitely look forward to having her as a part of our family as needed! Thank you, Sommer for all your help and I was not worried about my dog at all!
