“Caitlyn did a wonderful job house sitting for our family of 3 furr babies! She was prompt and responsive leading up to our vacation, and then through out our time away kept me very informed and shared lots of pictures! Our babies seem super happy- even though our Dog Veda takes a minute to warm up, I knew right away Caitlyn was a keeper because Veda ran right up to her! Caitlyn is flexible, easy going, truth worthy, reliable, and as sweet as can be!”

About: Surrounded by dogs my entire life, I’ve helped care for family pets and lovingly raised my own for 3 years. I provide walks, playtime, feeding, and a safe, loving space while keeping owners informed. Available Friday–Sunday for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m dependable, follow your pet’s routine, and always share photo updates so you feel comfortable while you’re away. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and supervised. I follow your instructions, keep everything secure, and send updates. I also have a friendly, energetic dog who’s happy to play — only if you and your dog are comfortable.

Could not recommend her enough, we will definitely use her again in the future!!”
“Emily was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond while caring for Bruster and kept me updated with thoughtful messages and great photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away.

About: I LOVE DOGS. Their lives are short, and I want to help them enjoy those years with comfort, care, and fun. I have had a dog companion in my life since I was five years old. I especially enjoy caring for high-energy dogs who need regular exercise—I’m always up for long walks, playtime, or outdoor adventures. I also have experience with senior dogs, and I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and keeping routines consistent. I’ve successfully trained dogs to potty outside, sit on command, and even walk off-leash. Whether your pup is young and active or older and needs a slower pace, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away. I function better with a dog at my side. Dogs help me start my day with purpose—there’s nothing like a good morning walk to get us both moving and ready for breakfast and whatever the day brings. I love building routines that keep dogs active, happy, and well cared for. I work remotely, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to be fully present for pet care throughout the day. With cats, I understand how much they value consistency. I’m attentive to their morning and evening routines—feeding, cleaning the litter box, and giving them space or affection depending on their mood. I also make time for play and interaction throughout the day, based on each cat’s personality. Communication is everything. I try to make sure I understand each animal's boundaries and needs before providing care, this includes list of allergies and medications.
About: I love any type of dog, any type of dog is welcome in my home for caring, people I know describe me as a nice loving person . I work from home on my own time, I am self employed, dog sitting will fit in my schedule routine just perfectly right to welcome any dog. Anything the owner does for the care of there dog fits right in with me, communication on how you would like for me to take care of your dog is the key, I would love for your dog to feel right at home .

Melissa was a HUGE help, stepping in over the holidays for a long house-sitting service when a previous sitter had to cancel last-minute. She is personable and communicative, shared lots updates during the stay, and took good care of our house. Our dog and cat were in great hands, and it felt wonderful to come home to relaxed happy pets. Happy to recommend!
Caitlyn is a fantastic petsitter! At the last minute, our cat had to be started on two meds, and Caitlyn was super accommodating. She handled our leash reactive dog amazingly too. Both of our pets were happy and healthy when we got back and she left our home very clean. Super respectful and professional, highly recommend!!
Ashley took absolutely excellent care of our cat while we were out of the country for a week! I knew from the moment she met our cat during our meet and greet that our little girl was going to be in great hands. Throughout the trip, Ashley reached out with check-ins and photos reflecting how well she was being taken care of. She also responded quickly to any messages and went above and beyond watching our place. We (and our cat) look forward to seeing her again in the future!
Emily was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond while caring for Bruster and kept me updated with thoughtful messages and great photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear how much attention and care she gave him, he was happy and clearly very well loved when I got home. I will for sure be booking with her again! Highly recommend!
Alissa was amazing! I can’t say enough good things about her. Her communication was phenomenal and she went above and beyond to take great care of our dog while we were away on vacation. The house was perfect when we got back and she sent numerous updates and pictures while we were away. We would gladly welcome her back!
We can't speak highly enough of Katherine who has watched our house and pets numerous times. She is caring, thoughtful, and provides the pets (dog and 2 cats) with all the attention they need and then some. We came home to a spotless house and felt comfortable/like the pets were in good hands while we were abroad.
This was our first time using Alex to watch our pets and it won’t be the last! He did a great job with our two dogs and three cats and taking care of our home. He kept us updated regularly and sent us photos. He was very respectful of our home! I would definitely recommend Alex and will be using him in the future!
This is the second time we have booked Stephen and Wipawee, and once again, they did an excellent job house sitting our dogs! They were attentive, walked our dogs, played with them in the backyard, and showered them with love and affection. We trust them completely and appreciated their dedication to ensuring Cameron and Colby were happy and well cared for. They were also very supportive and accommodating to our needs. Highly recommend!
