“Casie did a great job taking care of my pets while we were away in my home. She went above and beyond and did things that were not asked of her as well as water my garden since we didn’t get any rain. I felt comfortable with her and even though I missed my babies I knew Casie was loving them just as I love them. I will definitely have Casie back.”


“Isabelle was wonderful with our two cattle dogs, communicated with us and shared pictures throughout our long weekend away. In addition, she cared for our home as we would, and cleaned up after herself. We had nice calm girls when we got home, to me that’s a sign they were well cared for and loved!”


“Brianna was an excellent sitter for my dog. She was very attentive, caring, and communicative with me as well. From the beginning she put me at ease and made sure my dog would be getting the care that she needed while I was away. She also took incredible care of my house, which was above and beyond, and greatly appreciated. I would absolutely not hesitate to have her watch my dog again.”


“How our pets will be taken care of is always a source of stress when we're away. One of our dogs in particular has high anxiety and is very needy. But sitters like Tina really put our mind at ease and let us enjoy our time away. She's very sensitive to our animals' needs and is very communicative throughout the weekend so we know they're doing well. We've had weekends where one has had an upset stomach and she's needed to give meds on the fly -- there seems to be nothign she can't handle. We trust her with our pets implicitly <3”


About: I've cared for various kinds of pets over my whole life and at one point was able to become an AKC trained dog trainer! I've since changed jobs to a patient sitter at a nearby hospital and miss the new animals being in my life. I'd love to get a chance to meet your pets and help care for them! I work 3 inconsistent days from either 630am-pm or 630pm-am throughout the week but can make changes as needed to work up to 3 days a week for a client outside of that! I feel that all pets have a wide range of personalities and needs but the important thing is to work with them to achieve their physical and emotional needs! I have 2 cats with vastly different attitudes and I make sure to tailor my care for them in specific ways like being a safety person for my cat while she's eating or training my partners cat to ask for attention and treats more politely. When it comes to dogs I have a training in positive reinforcement and dog behaviors and will try to engage with breed specific enrichment on top of whatever schedule the pet parents have for their dog.

About: I have grown up my whole life with a dog just until very recently. When my dog passed away, I started offering my services around my neighborhood and continued to connect with our furry friends by walking them around the neighborhood. I have always had a deep love for animals (especially dogs) and love to spend time with them. I found this app and thought it would be a great way to continue to spend time and take care of them! I am currently off for the summer. I am in nursing school taking some time off until the next semester starts. I can work anytime the semester is out. I am going back to school August 24th but would love to sit on the weekends if needed. My home has a built in invisible fence for the dogs, I love petting dogs and playing tug of war or just sitting next to them while I’m reading etc.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for a number of years. Including pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve also volunteered at local shelters. I am a huge animal lover and will treat yours like my own. I work remotely so I am flexible with my schedule. As long as I know ahead of time, I can make a number of times work. I have taken care of animals in a number of settings that I can adjust to. From those with a fenced yard to those who need to stay leashed as they’re a flight risk. I truly have loved and treated each one as if they are my own.

“Plachette did a wonderful job caring for our dogs! She provided regular updates, sweet pictures and videos, was reliable and made me feel very comfortable that our pups were getting good care while we were away. I would recommend her to any dog owner!”


“Michael was so amazing with our dog & cat. He sent us lots of pictures of our fur babies while we were away, took our dog on walks, for car rides & administered her daily medication. Michael was so flexible & understanding of my obsessive dog mom requests. We are so grateful to have had his help & will absolutely be having him sit for us again!”


About: I've had a pet my whole life, my biggest passion is animals, I always took in dogs and cats when I was a child, I took care of many different breeds of dogs and cat. Everyone I know trust me the most with their pets. I'm a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time for your furry friends and I'm flexible. I can do any day of the week I bathe, feed, walk, play, soothe, care for my pets at home and can do the same with my clients. If your dog has anxiety I know how to soothe, I'm very understanding of animals and their behavior I will always put your pet first

“My animals instantly liked Jess (and my dog is very picky) as did I ! She was very sweet and down to earth. She was even kind enough to water my plants. Would book again and would recommend to others. Thank you Jess”


About: Hello! My name is Amanda and I am 32 years old. I have always had a strong love and passion for animals of all species starting at a young age. I have worked in several animal shelters and have worked as a veterinary technician, as well as being a certified dog groomer. Animals will always and forever be my passion. In the past I have owned fish, dogs, cats, and a variety of reptiles and pocket pets. As of now I have 2 cats and 1 dog! Your fur babies are my top priority while you are away, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they are spoiled and in the best hands! Please consider me as the pet sitter for you; I promise you will not regret it! My schedule is mostly flexible. Being able to leave for a couple hours a day is a must for me since I have other obligations. I keep my schedule on here up to date as much as I can. I take care of pets in their own homes with the utmost respect. I want them to be comfortable with me so I will try to keep their routines going to help out with making them feel at ease.

This allows me to spend more time with animals, whether it’s walking, caring for, playing with, or training them. My job provides me the opportunity to balance my professional responsibilities with my passion for animals, ensuring that I can give your pets the attention and care they deserve. In terms of safety, trust, and environment, I prioritize creating a secure and comfortable space for pets in my home or my clients' homes. For in-home care, I have a fenced yard that provides a safe area for pets to play and explore. I also use room separators to ensure that pets remain in designated areas, and I have kennels available if needed for their comfort and security. I come prepared with my own leashes and have prior experience handling various situations to ensure the pets' safety. This allows me to guide pets effectively and manage any potential challenges that may arise.
