“Caitlin was an amazing dog and house sitter. She was professional, punctual, and communicative throughout. My older dog struggles with new people, and Caitlin met her exactly where she was at - giving her space and helping her through the weekend. As an anxious dog mom, I felt completely at peace knowing Junie was in her care. I highly recommend booking Caitlin for your next trip!”
“Sylvia was energetic and eager to meet and learn about caring for Cj. She was very much communicative and definitely made sure to adhere to Cj's needs and give him all the attention she could give. I couldn't be any more happier coming home to my old man Cj. I would seek her out again for pet care. Thank you!”
“Karla left my house the same as I left it and was very understanding and accommodating to my difficult senior dog. I highly recommend her for your dogsitting needs!”
“I can't recommend Meg enough! They took amazing care of our furry babies while we were away. From daily updates and photos to ensuring our pets’ routines were followed, their attention to detail was exceptional. Our pets were so happy and well-cared for, which gave us peace of mind during our trip. Meg is reliable, friendly, and truly loves animals. We will definitely book their services again in the future. Thank you for making our pets feel so loved!”
“Cheyana was absolutely amazing with my Harry! This was a short notice booking and I’m so grateful to have found her. Cheyana has such a calm and gentle energy that put Harry right at ease during our meet & greet, and I could tell she really cared about making sure he felt comfortable. I loved that Cheyana let Harry approach her at his own pace. She was very attentive and thoughtful, sending me photos and updates throughout the booking, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear she is very experienced and really knows what she is doing, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cheyana to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and experienced sitter! I’ll definitely book again!!”
“Kaitlyn was great with my girls and house! Everything was just the way I left it. 5 nights 6 days. She sent updates and pictures everyday. I have a reactive dog and a 14.5 year old diabetic cat. She loved/s them and kept them happy, safe, and comfortable while I was away. Thank you Kaitlyn!”
“Anders took care of my boy like he was her own. She was great about keeping in contact the whole time she was watching after Peanut and provided pictures daily. Highly recommended!”
About: Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and chickens, I've gained hands-on experience in pet care from an early age. Whether it's the playful energy of dogs, the independent nature of cats, or the unique needs of chickens, I've learned how to provide attentive and compassionate care for each. With years of experience, I understand the importance of routine, comfort, and safety in keeping pets happy and healthy. Your pet will be in knowledgeable and caring hands with me. I am currently going to school and have a flexible schedule. I am available Mondays 6am-10pm, Tuesday 6am-10pm, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 6am to over night. I am willing to stay at clients home to care for pets along with staying over night. During my availability I can let pets outside/hang out with them inside at any time, give needed medication, walk, and play.
“My dog was more anxious than usual and RoseWillow was incredibly patient and responsive. She was early, responsible and incredibly gracious and I would love to have her sit again anytime.”
“Highly recommend Latifa, she worked wonders with my two post-op spayed (formerly) stray cats who required some special attention. So glad she was able to accommodate us so last minute!”
“We came back to a clean house and happy dogs, which is difficult because Coco is never happy with anyone. :) Coco must have had an especially good time, because she was in a very good mood. And my old lady, Maya, looked well cared for and clean, which is tough given her incontinence problems. The house looked well cared for as well. Meredith herself was extremely professional and responsive! I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Olivia was great with house sitting our dog. She kept him happy and safe, taking him on long walks and playing in the backyard. Took good care of the house and our pet tortise too! She provided good updates and gave us peace of mind. Certainly plan to rely on Olivia in future house sitting.”
“Bri was so responsive to our request for dog sitting, and we couldn’t be happier for the care she gave to our pup. We loved the updates we received! Highly recommended, thank you, Bri!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I love all pets and have experience with cats and dogs. I treat them like members of the family and am very attentive. I’m the person at a party that will ignore the people if pets are around. I have a very flexible schedule currently so I can be of help whenever needed. I am available weekends and weekdays. Available all day also I am very passionate about animal safety. I am aware of every precaution necessary and safety is my number one concern. I am very trustworthy and am always thinking about your pets’ needs first.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, and I always treat each animal as if they were my own. My focus is on keeping pets happy, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to devote plenty of time to caring for pets. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for boarding, drop-ins, and walks. Your pets will always get the attention, playtime, and care they need without feeling rushed. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by following their regular routines in their own home environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions on feeding, exercise, and medications, and I give plenty of attention, play, and affection to keep them happy while their family is away. I also prioritize safety by keeping doors locked, checking that gates are secure, and always supervising outdoor time on walks or in fenced areas. My goal is to give pets the same level of care and trust they’re used to, while giving owners peace of mind that their home and pets are in responsible hands.
“Nadine did a great job with our five month old puppy! Our puppy loved her at the meet and greet. I wasn’t home at the time Nadine came to walk Sandy so Nadine sent lots of photos and videos and actively walked our puppy and played with her the whole hour of the visit. Nadine was very professional and went the extra mile for us, even fitting us in last minute, in between other obligations!”
“This is my second time booking with Davis with my three rescue dogs. She truly cares about these babies and goes above and beyond. Had trouble with my AC and Davis was super helpful in assisting so the dogs would be comfortable. Highly recommend her!!”
About: I no longer have pets of my own. My children are grown ups and out of the house on their own. My home is empty. I still love my freedom but would love to take on sitting your pet. I work from home Monday-Fri and have lots of free time to take care of your pet in my home. Give me a shot please! My yard is not fenced in, however I am fully able to take your pet outside on a leash and for a walk to potty.
“Kathy went above and beyond for our pup so we could enjoy our wedding weekend away. Mac takes warming up to and Kathleen was patient and willing to go the extra mile and won our doggies heart! She took great care of macaroni and even left her a gift bag at the end of the weekend. 100% recommend and will use her again for future trips!”
About: I am an animal lover. I have watched other’s pets for long and short periods of time (6 months). From puppy to elder dog. To healthy to needing medications. Your dog, when with me, is the most important person in the world to me. I don’t text or talk on the phone when with your pet. All my attention is focused on your loved ones safety I work part time from home. Very flexible hours You name the time of day or night and I can be there. I am looking for 3-4 regular clients. I cannot have a pet overnight. It’s not allowed where I live. I can watch your pet at your pets home, which I think makes them feel more comfortable. I normally just sleep on the couch with the dogs. When they are with me, they are as loved as they are my own. It’s very hard for me to say goodbye so it’s often when I am with a doggy for 45 min and I am only booked for 30 min. I am just switching to Rover from Wag I had over 300 dogs and 50 preferred clients. If you were to go to their site, you will see, I am by the numbers, their highest rated walker. I am switching to River because I feel Rover provides more support for the walker and the pet owner
