“Hannah did a wonderful job cat sitting and house sitting for us while we were traveling. Came home to a happy cat and a safe and sound home. Communication was easy and Hannah was always prompt to respond.”


“Alexandra is a very friendly and punctual. My dog loved having her watch him. He felt very at ease with her as we could tell by the picture she sent of him on his back and paws in the air asking for a belly rub. Will definitely ask Alexandra to watch him again.”


About: I have petsat and walked dogs for quite a few years. I grew up with larger dogs and will be sure to treat yours with the utmost love and care. I have experience with animals of all sizes & I can easily adapt to the routine of your fur babies, and will prioritize them above anything else as my love for animals is that immense. I also have experience with cats & rabbits. I have my two cats named Moose & Pebble, 11 parakeets, and a dog named Moo. I update my availability weekly, but I will always be communicative about it. This is something I do in my free time and thoroughly enjoy spending time with doing. I am very passionate about animals. I follow written instructions to a T. I am very respectful of people’s homes and can be trusted. I send hourly updates whenever possible and make sure to be communicative when it comes to your fur baby or any possible questions that may pop up.

“Lauren went above and beyond to take care of my babies, one of whom is immunosuppressed. She sent constant pictures and updates which showed my pups over the moon with how happy they were with her. She stayed at my house with them and left the place incredibly clean. Will definitely be rebooking her in the future and would highly recommend her!”


“Yadi is great! Very thoughtful, caring and respectful. Goes way above and beyond and willing to accommodate all of our house and pet's quirks! Was able to be super flexible when we needed :) Our house was very clean and well taken care of upon return! Thank you 🙏😊!”


“Lauren did a great job staying with our dog who is older and has special needs, including medication. She left our house in excellent condition and was communicative throughout the stay. Highly recommend.”


“Breanna is the best sitter for our puppers! She is timely, gives great updates and pictures, and communicates well with us always! Highly recommend her services!”



“Mary Kay is so great with the babies - even those who are difficult! She even left us gorgeous flowers. We love her! But I don’t want to say too many good things cuz then we have to fight other people off to get her! (Just kidding!)”


“Elizabeth watched our dogs for an entire weekend while we were away in our house. She was very respectful to our house and treated our dogs with kindness and respect. Will definitely rebook.”



“Micheal was terrific! We had a short notice request and Michael was able to accommodate our needs. He took excellent care of Indi and our home. We will definitely be using Michael again in the future for in home dog sitting.”

About: I don't hate on any breeds I love all dogs. My main career focus is in education, I am going to college to earn my bachelor degree in early childhood education. However, I also have a passion for working with animals, I have two dogs and two cats myself. And I will make sure to treat your's as if they were my own. I currently have a full time schedule working at a daycare center and school, i am open for occasional sitting and walking if you need date nights, vacations, or if you have to work the night shift. I can be pretty flexible in my schedule. I will treat your pets as if they were my own including: cuddles, walks, treats, basic grooming if needed like brushing fur off, making sure toys get put away before leaving etc.

“I was in need last minute for a dog sitter and Amy was very responsive. Titan my pup and I met with Amy prior to the reservation, and Amy was very kind, asked a lot of thoughtful questions and I could tell immediately was a huge animal lover! As for her services, she went over and beyond! From taking Titan on walks, Starbucks dates and long cuddles on the couch, I was afraid Titan’s heart was going to belong to someone else by the time I came back home. Setting all jokes aside, Amy was incredible, I will absolutely reach out to her in the future and would highly recommend her if anyone else is looking for someone to care for their pets.”
