“I had a mandatory business trip and my pet sitter fell through fairly last minute. My 6 year old cat, Ollie, has separation anxiety (I rescued him from abuse when he was 6 months old) and he is not used to being alone for long periods of time because I work out of the house and am home most of the time. While he's friendly, he's not super snuggly or interactive with strangers; he just needs someone to be 'present'. We had a meet-and-greet prior to booking the stay- She asked all of the pertinent questions about his personality and daily routine (Charlie, my 21 year old cockatiel, is easy- LOL). I was rest-assured things would work out so I booked the stay. Deanne was wonderful with both Ollie and Charlie. She sent me updates throughout the day and plenty of photos letting me know they both were doing well (although I could tell in a couple of the photos Ollie was a little sad... But that is completely normal- As long as he was eating and following his regular routine I knew he'd 'survive'). This also helped me not stress out or worry about my pets and be able to focus on my trip / business dealings and that's honestly also a big part of traveling for me. I arrived home, and while I know both Ollie and Charlie missed me, everything went right back to normal and that's what told me Deanne cared for them very well. She also was very respectful of my home and kept it clean during her stay. I'm very glad I found her and will be using her services again. I highly recommend Deanne to care for your pets!”


“Jordyn was amazing! She was great at communicating and sent photos a few times a day. She didn’t mind answering the million questions I had prior to staying with my dog. I would definitely use her again.”


“Hailey is the calm to my chaotic storm (4.5 year old boy, 11 year old cat, 8 week old dog). This day she came to help with my pup on my wildest morning yet. She was kind, calm, and non-judgmental. She made me instantly feel better and at ease when she showed up. Cannot say enough great things about Hailey!!”


“Haylee was very thorough when watching my babies for a few days at my place. I got back to two loved boys that I’m sure got lots of attention and love!!!!”


“Jennifer was amazing! Sent updates accordingly, loved on my babies , and my pup was even looking for her nonstop when she left 🥹 thank you again!”


“Lauren did an amazing job watching our two dogs. She communicated well, responded fast and followed our directions. She sent daily pictures and I could tell the dogs were well looked after. It’s easy to see she is great with animals! We will definitely use her in the future.”


About: I am an animal lover to the fullest and your neighborhood pet sitter! Being around dogs is a form of therapy for me; I also give the best chin and belly rubs a pet could ask for... so it's a win-win! I grew up in a dog household. I will properly care for your pet as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible and I am open to working with your busy schedule and your pets' needs. I have experience with many kittens and full grown cats and puppies as well as elderly dogs. I am learning more about this industry and pets everyday and loving every day of it! I look forward to meeting you and becoming your pets' newest friend!

“Tanya was great. Very responsive. She kept us up to date with pictures. The house was exactly as we left and the pets seemed happy. We would definitely like to book Tanya again.”


“Logan was excellent - this was the first time we were leaving our two dogs at home during a long vacation. Logan has been extremely responsive and the dogs loved her! I highly recommend Logan -”


“Zoe stayed at my house and cared for my two dogs and cat while I was away for a week. She was great with everyone, keeping me regularly updated to their progress and responsive when I had questions. I’d definitely hire Zoe again.”


About: I began doing pet sitting in 2016 for family & friends, and that was most of my sitting experience until I began my dog training certification. Now I’ve been in pet care professionally for two years, and have had my dog trainer certification for half of that. My weeks are based around pet care. I do it full-time and have a customizable schedule based around my various clients & appointments. I have special hours available at request. I make sure to get an exact outline of what is expected/allowed for the pet, and am not shy about requesting elaboration if there’s any confusion on my part. Additionally, I like to do what I can to keep them mentally stimulated with games, activities, and some light obedience training/reinforcement so they can hopefully carry that good behavior over to their daily life.

“Eddie was friendly and our dogs seemed to have liked him. He was communicative and checked in a few times while we were away. He was able to care for our senior dog and made sure both were well taken care of. The house and pups were in good condition when we got home! We’d book again.”


“Emily took great care of our pets and home while we were away! We came back after our trip to a clean house and happy pups and kitties. She is very responsive to messages and sent updates of the pets. I would absolutely hire her again!”


“Haley and Alex came through for me in a very last-minute and stressful situation due to a family emergency. They stayed with my Boys and kept them happy and cared for in my home while I was out of town. They were great about keeping me updated, especially knowing how stressed I was since this was the first time anyone besides my immediate family took care of my pups. I would definitely book them again and will recommend them to all of my pet parent friends! 🐶🐾”


About: I am responsible and hardworking, and I will stay at your house and care for your pets like my own! I love animals, and will send you pictures and updates daily so you know your furry babies are well cared for. You can count on me to go above and beyond! I am a 18 year old college student currently on summer break so I am very flexible! I can work weekends and weekdays during any hours! I love to help out and will do everything I can to make sure your pets are taken care of. I will stay at your house if your pets aren’t used to being alone at night, and even cuddle with them in the same bed if that’s what they need. My own dogs are like our babies, so I will dote on your animals like they’re my own. I will walk them and feed them and give them love as much as they need!

About: I am a trainer through and through, my mom can tell you how difficult it was to train my chihuahua. But we’re working on it and she’s doing great! I make sure my dog is taken out every morning before I head to school. Ensure that kitty is fed and especially my fish, can’t forget about him! My kitty is very independent, but Bella loves to cuddle. I make sure that I spend a couple minutes with her at least every hour!

About: I grew up with pets, and more recently I've enjoyed caring for the pets of others. I don't currently have pets of my own, so I love time with furry and feathery friends. My work is largely online and self-scheduled. That makes it easy for me to schedule my day around your pet's schedule, or spend an entire day with them! I always make sure to respect the homeowner and their process. I do my best to learn everything needed for the job, then carry out instructions to the best of my ability and reach out if I have questions.

About: I've grown up with animals my whole life- cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, reptiles, etc. I've taken care of pets of all ages, from young to senior. I am available all days of the week, including the weekends. My time schedule is flexible and I would also be able to do drop in visits or stay overnight as well. By following owner specific instructions when given, I strive to make both the pet(s), and thus the owner, feel safe while under my current care.

About: I have taken care of dogs within my home my whole life. In high school, I started watching neighbor's pets and continue to on my breaks home from college. Pets are a joy to work with and a source of therapy for me. I love looking after animals and take care of them like they are my own. Pet care will best fit in to my schedule on weekends. As a med student, I do have classes during the week days and will need to study on weekends. However, this can easily be accomplished while watching a pet and utilizing their needs as a mental break. I care for others' pets as if they are my own. I love animals and do everything I can to make them happy. Whether it is play time, walks, cuddles, I am here to give them what they enjoy and make their experience a great one.


“Alexandra is wonderful and the dogs were extremely well-cared for! It was so nice to know someone was at our home and watching our dogs while we were gone. Alexandra was competent, attentive, and truly loved our dogs. Our dogs were happy to see us, but calm and relaxed so we knew they had been absolutely fine with Alexandra. Will definitely be contacting Alexandra first when we are looking for a house and dog sitter!”

I trust her with my Basil any day, any time.”
