“Kayla is a wonderful pet sitter. My older poodle girl is hesitant to meet people, but from the moment Lyla saw Kayla it was instant acceptance. She knew she could trust her. Kayla communicated with us often. She was responsible and loving towards Lyla. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter. Thank you, Kayla. We appreciate the support you gave to Lyla and us.”

“Timothy house-sat our dogs for a few days and did an excellent job! He was extremely proactive in communication, sent regular picture updates, and left the house clean and tidy. We could tell the dogs had been well cared for when we returned and will absolutely plan to book pet care with Timothy in future!”

“Marilyn was absolutely amazing, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. From the very beginning, she communicated exceptionally well, was incredibly organized, and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I have a senior Chihuahua who requires a lot of patience, understanding, and personal space, and Marilyn took the time to learn his personality and understand what he was comfortable with rather than trying to rush the process. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making him feel safe and secure. She kept me updated, was attentive to his needs, and handled him with so much patience and kindness. Knowing he was with someone who respected his boundaries and took the time to earn his trust gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Marilyn did an outstanding job, and I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Journey did an incredible job house sitting for us, sending us tons of updates and pictures. She is diligent and took great care of our dog and our cat. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: Hi, pet parents! My name is Heather, and my goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm currently building pet sitting into my full-time career because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about. I've grown up with all kinds of animals my entire life—from cats to dogs, to rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, fish, and even turtles. I have experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities, and I have a special place in my heart for those with special medical needs. One of the most rewarding experiences I've had was raising my own cat with wobbly cat syndrome from less than two weeks old and helping him learn to walk. I’ve also cared for a diabetic cat who required daily insulin injections, a cat who suffered from seizures, and another cat with asthma who receives inhaler treatments. So I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and following medical routines carefully. I'm certified in Animal First Aid and Fear Free pet care. These certifications have taught me how to recognize signs of stress, respond appropriately in emergencies, and provide calm, low-stress handling that helps pets feel secure while their families are away. Whether your pet is playful, shy, elderly, or has special medical needs, I tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I pay close attention to details, carefully follow feeding and medication instructions, and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is for your pet to feel as comfortable as possible and for you to have complete peace of mind! During every booking, you can expect clear communication, regular photo updates, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets. I believe every animal deserves kindness, patience, and respect, and I look forward to treating your furry family members as if they were my own. I am planning to build pet sitting as a full-time business, which allows me to offer flexible availability throughout the week. I am generally available during morning, afternoon, and evening care windows. This helps ensure I can provide consistent care while maintaining a reliable routine for each pet. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I prioritize maintaining a stable schedule once bookings are confirmed. I’m also happy to discuss specific timing needs to make sure your pet receives care at the times they are most comfortable with. **House Sitting Includes:** • Overnight care in your home from 4:30pm-8:30am • Feeding and fresh water • Walks and playtime (if requested) • Medication administration • Litter box cleaning • Plenty of affection, enrichment, and companionship • Photo and message updates 2x daily (AM and PM) • Basic home care, including bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy **Drop-In Visits Include:** • Feeding and fresh water • Potty breaks or litter box cleaning • Playtime and companionship • Medication administration if needed • Photo and visit updates with each visit
“Molly was very communicative and loving with my pup! She handled lots of medicines like a champ. I’m so grateful to Molly for looking after my girl while I was out of town.”
“Ally was great! Teddy can definitely be a handful at times, but she managed well by looking after him. Jack usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but with Ally, he opened up so quickly it felt like they had known each other forever. Ally is reliable and trustworthy which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, she tidied up around the house and even offered to help with more before she left. I would highly recommend Ally to any and all pet owners.”
“Lidia was perfect for my 3 weeks away in Asia. I have a senior Shih tzu and need someone who can stay in my house so that it is most comfortable for my aging dog. Lidia sent me photos and videos almost daily and my sweet Lulu looked so happy with her temporary mom that she became Lulu’s step mama! Lidia also has a small senior dog that stayed over and kept Lulu company. The two of them together were adorable. I will continue booking Lidia. She was more than what I imagined. My time away was completely stress free knowing my baby was happy and cared for.”
“Jayla is a fantastic dog sitter! We had to leave our pup for close to 2 weeks and Jayla took good care of him and made sure he was happy and cozy while we were away! She sent us pictures of him every day and did an amazing job maintaining his routine. We're so grateful for her excellent care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive, responsive, and caring pet sitter!”
“Tatyana was the BEST! She was so communicative and flexible. My dog was so at ease with her and she sent me lots of pictures throughout our stay. 10/10 recommend!”
“Daniela was amazing!! She took such good care of our crazy dogs, even with them throwing her curve balls like getting sick, and our house was well taken care of. She's very responsive, kept us updated and our dogs loved her. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her in the future!!”

Ruth did a fantastic job dog-sitting our two dogs and taking care of house while we were out of town for several days. She did a great job communicating and sending updates. We knew the dogs were in great hands. I would highly recommend her and will definitely look to have her stay at our home for future trip!
Kassidy was great with our two Yorkies, Louis and Sassy. She came over early for a meet and greet and prepared well for house/pet sitting for two weeks. She cared so well for both dogs. We received many updates and lots of pictures during our time away. We would highly recommend Kassidy. She is very communicative and professional.
We had an amazing experience with Sarah. She took excellent care of our precious pets, making sure they had daily walks and hugs and special treats. In addition, Sarah helped us so much by watering our container plants daily to keep them alive in the Houston heat. On a special note, when I had to undergo an emergency appendectomy while on vacation, Sarah was wonderfully compassionate and reassuring. She provided daily updates with photos and constantly reassured us that there was nothing to worry about at home and to just focus on healing from my health Emergency. We will definitely book Sarah for future trips and would recommend that you do too. Thank you Sarah!
Jasmeen is amazing and I strongly recommend! Was able to help me out last minute which is alway nice. She still made time to meet up beforehand and was super communicative everyday of watching Cody. My dog is also pretty shy/anxious, but he warmed up very quickly to her and I don’t doubt that wasn’t partly due to the way she was able to meet him where he was at and not rush him during the initial meeting. Again, she was such a great sitter!
I couldn’t recommend her more highly! She took such great care of my dog while I was away. He’s usually quite nervous around new people, but he took to her immediately, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout my trip. She sent plenty of updates and photos, so I always knew he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. She also treated my home with so much care. I came back to a spotless apartment, and she had even washed and changed the bed sheets, which was such a thoughtful touch after travelling. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of both my dog and my home.
We had an amazing experience with Dani and will definitely be booking with her again! Dani stayed in our apartment over the holiday weekend to look after our dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog can be anxious around new people, but she was so patient and clearly experienced with nervous dogs. She knew exactly how to approach him, and he warmed up to her almost immediately. When we got home, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had been very well cared for. She also took incredible care of our home. We came back to an apartment that was absolutely spotless—she even did the laundry and took out the trash, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your pet and will treat your home with the same respect, I highly recommend booking with Dani. We can’t wait to have her watch our dog again!
Jill was fantastic, she took great care of my dog! So happy to have found her, she will be my go-to sitter for the future! Thank you, Jill, for your excellent care and communication. It means the world to be able to relax and know that my senior dog is in trustworthy hands while away.
Here is a shorter version: Lev was absolutely wonderful. He is trustworthy, easy to communicate with, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. He sent regular updates and photos, kept me informed about walks, meals, medication, and followed all instructions exactly. He was dependable, on time, and very attentive. My dogs are not always the easiest to win over, but they quickly trusted him. He genuinely cared about them, spent extra time with them, and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for. Lev stayed overnight, handled everything beautifully, and my home was clean and exactly as I left it. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. I will absolutely book Lev again and highly recommend him.
Kalina was absolutely incredible. We truly could not have asked for a more caring and attentive dog sitter. This was our first time leaving Nala overnight without a close friend or family member watching her, and we were pretty nervous - especially since we were gone for over a week. But Kalina made us feel at ease the entire time we were gone! She sent us updates everyday throughout the day, including adorable pics of Nala having fun with other pups and friends, which really brightened our days. She was also super responsive and left our home spotless. Our only fear is that she won’t be available next time we need a sitter!
Charis was awesome with our fur family! Our sitting experience started as a disaster for her (TOTALLY ON US) that she handled with complete ease and calm (I was a stressed mess lol). Less than 2 hours after her arrival all our smoke detectors started going off. And going off. And wouldn't stop. This went on for several hours and required a call to an electrician that thankfully was able to get there very quickly and solved the problem. I was so grateful Charis was willing to stick it out and assist with letting the electrician in and problem solving. Charis gave our 2 pups and our cat lots of love and attention during the 4 day stay and left our house in perfect condition. Ziggy, Shelby Ann, Bear and I highly recommend.
grant was hands down the most incredible pet sitter i've ever tried ever! he was so good at communicating quickly especially with me being in the virgin islands where service is only available in certain areas. not once while i was on vacation did i have to worry about my pup because i knew he was in good hands. grant even last minute excepted to watching my pup for 2 more days due to a flight delay. grant is who i will use anytime i need a sitter. my concierge was even telling me that zeus looked so happy while in his care PLEASE make sure to take the opportunity and book if he has open availability, you will not be disappointed
