“I had her pet sit my 2 cats while my boyfriend and I were away. She sent me pictures and followed my instructions really well. I was REALLY happy to come home to 2 healthy and happy cats and I DEFINITELY look forward to using her services for my next trip! ?”
“Rose was an amazing sitter. She was very communicative, flexible, and great with my fur babies. Due to holiday travel changes, I needed to leave earlier than originally expected and get back a day later. She was incredibly flexible and accommodating and was able to meet my extended pet sitting within 24 hours of the request. thank you, Rose for taking such great care of Barnabe and Theo! I will definitely schedule Rose as a sitter in the future.”
About: I've taken care of a variety of different animals growing up! From reptiles to small mammals, to cats and dogs to fish, even live stock! I work a 9-1 but overall have a pretty flexible schedule! I'd be more than happy to visit or have your little friends whenever is best for you! I will always happily send you picture and video updates of your little friends! Im happy to spend as much time with them as needed!
“Emily took great care of Max and kept me updated the entire time. Max is a senior dog who is leery of new people, but that didn’t bother Emily at all. She gave him his space and let him get comfortable with her. I had no worries while I was away.”
“Can't say enough about Karen; she was attentive and sent pictures to keep me aware of how my baby was doing. I usually travel with my dog, but that wasn't an option this time. I was hesitant, but all my fears vanished when I saw the first picture! I knew she was in good hands.”
“Chloe did a wonderful job handling my crew of 4! She sent lots of updates with pictures & communicated well throughout her stay. I returned to happy pets & a tidy home. My lil family will surely be happy to see her again!”
“Stephanie was an absolute perfect fit to house sit my dog. She got to know my dog and his personality and I could tell he was immediately comfortable with her but also way more comfortable when I got home, which meant everything. Definitely will be my go to sitter when she is available, Jameson loved her and I was also completely at ease while gone with updates and photos.”
“She was great!! My cat had so much fun with her. I’m new to this app and having someone house sit but i had no worry with her. She went above and beyond and i will definitely use her again”
“Absolutely amazing and very professional. Great communication and left my house in amazing shape. My dogs where very well taken care of and she was an absolute amazing sitter.”
“Alex was amazing! She not only came to the house before to meet Ava so she was comfortable with her, but went above and beyond taking care of her and my home. She kept me informed with how Ava was doing and treated her like her own. She was great and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, just not on the days I need her :)”
“Ela for the win!!!!!!! Definitely one of the best sitters I’ve ever had and I travel a ton so I’ve had more than I can count. Ela is empathic (not many people truly are) so she is someone safe to leave your animals with. Super easy to communicate with and left my place exactly the way I had left it. Sent lots of pictures and updates and I came home to a happy and calm family. Will be inviting her back for another upcoming trip!”
“Dominique completed his second house sit for my two pups (6 nights) and we continue to endorse him as a qualified / reliable sitter! Communication again proved to be consistent. Water bowls were full and my house was just how I left it. My large dogs are prone to acting out if they do not get enough attention (especially over long periods). It was great coming home and not seeing any indication of unsatisfied pups. Fully recommend!”
“Lydia was great! I needed someone very last minute and she was such a relief!! She sent several photos daily and gave me frequent updates which helped me feel at ease while she was house sitting my fur fam. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Ashley took amazing care of our two dogs. Provided us with so many photos and updates and just went above and beyond. She made us feel completely comfortable that our dogs were in great hands while we were out of town. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Brea was fantastic with my dog! She sent photos and little updates daily. She kept me updated throughout my trip. My dog was still happy as can be after her stay with Brea. I will definitely be using her services again!”
About: Nothing, I'm just a regular guy that dogs&cats know is a great person. I give off good vibes only. This is an opportunity to learn about pets in general and meet new people. Open to negotiation on a price we both can agree on. If you're a fan of anime, I'm your guy. Easily. I've fallen on hard times and am learning new skills currently. Which makes me available all the time. All day every day. Always available essentially. I like to be secure. Always lock the door before leaving the house. I’m a 2nd black belt in Taekwondo, blue belt in BJJ, and have practiced Muay Thai and Judo, and am a decorated wrestler. If it's a big dog I am sitting and anything happens we will become a tag team in perfect sync. The 2nd thing is organization and cleanliness. I despise clutter, hate leaving a mess. My greatest offer is security when I watch your pets and your home.
About: I have been caring for pets for most of my life. I have 2 cats, Blue and Teigen, who are about 10 years old. They are my children! When my friends or family go out of town, I will check in with their pets and I love it. I work from home part time, so I am fully available to care for your babies when needed. I have more experience caring for cats than I do dogs. But I love to hang out with dogs and get a day of running around in, which we both need💞 I work from home part time- so aside from caring for my own 2 cats, I have full availability to take care of your babies. I’m looking forward to building trusting relationships with owners and pets! I follow each clients instructions carefully and care for their pets as if they were my own. I am currently offering drop ins for cats and dog walking. I am also open to house sitting!
