“Left our fur babies for almost two weeks with Ashley. Had a wonderful vacation knowing how well-cared for they were. We received updates and photos daily. Would highly recommend!”
“Nicole was great with the dogs and they warmed up quickly to her which made me feel so good about leaving them in her care. She was very good with communication and sending little updates. And when Kida got an upset stomach she checked in with me on her status to make sure we felt good about her care. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Samantha was absolutely amazing! She stayed overnight with my pup and two fosters. I got lots of picture updates and she left the house clean and organized! I highly recommend and will be using her again! Thank you!!”
“Will is awesome! He stayed with our pup for a few days at our home while we were traveling. She had some anxiety with us gone and Will did such a great job getting her to calm down and making sure she felt all the love. Will made her very comfortable and did a wonderful job- even helping us by tossing some linens in the wash so they were clean for us. We really appreciate Will and will use him again in the future!”
“Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.”
About: I've taken care of pets for my friends before, with a wide variety of needs. Some were very old and blind, and needed a little extra care. I pride myself in doing my best to support the pets in my care. I'm available before 7 am and after 6 pm on workdays, before 7 am and after 1 pm on Saturdays, and all hours on Sundays. And I'll always make sure to follow the care schedule you want for your fur babies. I understand how much your fur babies mean to you, and I will always make it my top priority to provide them with a safe, loving and predictable environment. You can count on me to follow all your instructions when it comes to all of their routines.
“Stephanie did a fantastic job. My cat is very shy, but she made him feel so comfortable he crawled into her arms and let her hold him like a baby after less than 24 hours. He has never done that for anyone but me before! Cats are a good judge of character, and his comfort with her speaks well of the kind of person she is. It was a better outcome than I could have expected or hoped for. My dog had a great time with her too. He was skunked right before my trip and I couldn't fully get the smell out, but she took it in stride. He is a lapdog through and through so I am glad that didn't deter her from snuggling up with him. She gave him cuddles and comforted him when he was nervous about fireworks on the fourth of July. My flight coming back was delayed significantly, and she stayed an extra half day to take care of my boys. She was willing to stay with them longer, but thankfully it did not turn out to be needed. She was responsive, personable, and gave me regular updates. My instructions were followed to a T and my animals loved her. I am very grateful to have found someone trustworthy to look after my pets and will definitely book with her again!”
“Sierra is phenomenal! She took such good care of my old dog! She stayed with her since she is older and needs more attention! She was so communicative and even strip the bed she used in my house when she was done! I felt so secure leaving her to pet sit in my home! Will definitely book again!”
“Haley was amazing at keeping me updated with pictures and videos! Her work schedule aligned with what my dog was used to so it worked perfectly. I would definitely recommend Haley to anyone looking for dog sitter!”
About: Hi! I’ve been a dog lover since my family brought home a puppy that instantly became my best friend (and greatest excuse to go on long walks). Since I was 14, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter and walker for friends and family—whether it’s tiny chihuahuas with big attitudes or German Shepherds who think they’re lap dogs. I genuinely love spending time with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to slow-and-steady seniors. I’m dependable, attentive, and always ready for a walk, rain or shine. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family and send you way too many cute photo updates, I’m your girl! I’m currently available for pet sitting and walks throughout the day. Starting in mid-August, my availability will shift to evenings (3 PM–11 PM) on weekdays and all day on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule as best I can just send me a message! When it comes to caring for pets, their safety and happiness are my top priorities. I prefer to stay in the pet’s home environment, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I take great care in following any instructions you leave-whether it’s about feeding, medications, walks, or routines, so your pet’s day stays as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll stick to their schedule, respect their space, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they want them!). You can count on me to keep a close eye on their wellbeing, and to treat your pet like my own while you’re away.
“I’m really happy with Elizabeth’s communication - always clear, accommodating, and friendly. Both our dogs looked happy, relaxed, and pampered in all the photo updates. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Lucy was great. No worries. She survived watching our three dogs - all of whom had some sort of stomach issue while we were gone. She had everything cleaned up and certainly went over and above. Sorry, Lucy...”
“Megan is awesome! I would not hesitate to use her again to watch our dog Bailey. We received multiple pictures every day. She even let Bailey sleep with her, and we know she is a total bed hog! Everything at the house was perfectly in order.... like no one had been there! Hire her! She's terrific! Thanks, Megan!”

Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.
Oscar and Elmo said they really liked Aelish. They said she was very accommodating, took good care of them, fed them and snuggled with him. They were very happy with her services and want to use her again in the future. I was also happy with her services and with the way she stayed in communication. This let me know everything was going well.
This pet sitting was a return of Stephen and Wanda to our house. We were gone for 8 days and our 2 dogs and cat were very happy. Stephen and Wanda just effortlessly picks up where we leave and continue with everything as we would. We choose house sitting as that is the least disruptive for the animals and Wanda and Stephen looks after our place as if it was their own. When we return the animals are happy and the house neat and tidy. Thank you for letting us go on holiday and not having to worry about the doggies. We will definitely use them again and again! We are very happy and cannot thank them enough!
Katie was wonderful! She took such good care of Lola and my home while I was out of the country. She kept me well informed every day, so I was able to relax while being so far away from home. Some unexpected issues arose, ie, potential squirrels in the attic, Lola eating a bee, and Lola not wanting to go out in the rain… Katie handled it all with ease! She’s definitely a gem!
Jayden did a fantastic job checking on, walking, and playing with Finley while I was away. She sent pictures everytime she was at my house showing Finley and what he was doing. Jayden is very personable, willing to meet your pet ahead of time, and was great with my fur baby! I highly recommend Jayden and will use her again in the future.
