This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. Declan communicated and sent photos throughout his stay, and we felt comfortable that the pups were well cared for!

Mark is fantastic. He stayed at my house with our 2 dogs for a long weekend. The dogs were so happy and well cared for, my house was clean and in perfect condition. He even shoveled when it snowed! We will 100% have Mark over again.

We hired Emily to stay at our home for a second time while we went on a long weekend trip. She is great to work with, responsive to messages, asks questions when needed about the pets, and I feel like my pets are in good hands with her and our home is tidy when we get back. She also came over before the planned trip to meet our newest pups. All of our dogs were happy to see her and the new pups took well to her, even our timid rescued chihuahua, which was nice to see. I would definitely continue to hire her when we need someone trustworthy and reliable to stay with our pets.

About: I’m different from other sitters because I go above and beyond for the families trusting me with their fur babies! I have 6 years of experience with taking care of homes and animals: I am a college student and part time nanny. I baby sit on Tuesdays & Thursdays 10-4 so those two days are unavailable unless you are okay with your pet waiting 6 hours to be let out. I make sure dogs are being let out every two hours. I will be sure to be changing water bowls and follow the owners feeding schedule. I’m pretty laid back so I love just cuddling with dogs and cats while watching tv or doing homework! I am honored to be trusted by families to take care of their homes and pets

About: Your pet will treated just the same as my own 2 year old pup, Mochi. They will be treated when they are doing things positively, shown affection for good deeds, and praised when they listen. I am here to help you bring out the best in your pet & share with you what I observe during my time with them. All of our pets are near and dear to our hearts. I promise to care for them with respect, dignity, & compassion. If you would like your dog to have some extra social time with Mochi, he is always available for playing, chasing and sniffing. My goal with your pet is to help them learn to trust you more and give them a positive role model to follow.

Kya was great! I loved that she was familiar with my breed and was going to be around for him most of the day. Great communication and I absolutely loved that she printed off some photos of Chili for me that she took. Definitely rebooking!

Allison is a pleasure to work with, great communicator and really great with Jax. I was pleased to learn about her additional background and education with animals. That knowledge gave me the extra comfort, knowing Jax was in good hands. She also did a great job keeping the house in order. Looking forward to having Allison hang out with Jax again sometime in the near term.

About: I've been a dog lover since I was a child! I have a great 'dog energy' and I'm very good with Senior Dogs and dogs with medical issues due to my own experiences. My most recent dog was 18 years old when she crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I'm reliable, compassionate, patient and I love all animals! I have recently retired from the healthcare field, have an open availability and I'm very flexible. My priority is to be there for you and your pets needs! I have a respectful approach to working in homes due to the healthcare profession where I was a home-based caregiver. I am trustworthy and I will always be respectful of your home.

We recently had the pleasure of having Shalynn care of our dogs, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She was extremely professional, reliable, and showed a genuine affection for our pets. Shalynn followed our instructions perfectly and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend [Pet Sitter's Name] to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!

About: I've had multiple dogs at a time since birth, coming from a family who adores dogs more than anything. Your dog will be in great hands:) I'm currently taking a short break from car detailing durning the cold months. So I'm available 7 days a week, from 6:00am to 10:00pm, plus overnight:) I have a full acre of land for my dog to play around in, he's a super friendly Alaskan malamute desperate for some friends :)

We booked Jason for house sitting with our dog who has separation anxiety and does not do well in a boarding environment. Jason is great with our dog! Jason came into our house and our dog immediately migrated to him. Jason provided ample walks and gave our dog personalized attention. His wife Emily is also a dog sitter on this site and she has watched our dog too! She is also amazing! We will only be using their services for our dog! We love the husband and wife team!

About: I've cared for pets my whole life. I've kept aquariums, grew up with dogs, even raised two puppies in my time. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats and do not want to track dandruff home, so I will not be offering services for cats aside from drop ins. I'm just a dad trying to be more active, make friends, and provide a service to the community. I love pets and I think they are an absolute blessing. For my fee I will actively exercise and play with your pets, teach them tricks or commands (if desired), and ensure they are pampered, engaged with, and given attention, rather than simply supervision. Ft dad, ft student, part time worker. Weekends, early mornings, and night walks are the best times for me to incorporate into my schedule. Weekdays are devoted to my family and studies, but for the right arrangement I'm willing to setup Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday commitments. How I care for your pet is entirely up to you, I will accommodate whichever preferences you may have. Every pet deserves to be played with, get exercise, and be well pampered. Rubs downs, brushing, bathing, I'm comfortable caring for your pet how you know best.

We’ve booked Savanah several times, and she’s is truly the best. So caring and kind, and our dogs and cats absolutely adore her. We always feel completely at ease knowing they’re with someone who treats them like her own. Couldn’t recommend her more!
