“Emberly was spectacular. She helped us out with very short notice, taking care of three dogs that can get pretty rowdy. She handled our sick puppy with the care, love, and affection Dottie needed, even though Emberly didn’t know until the night before how much specialized care Dottie would need. My wife and I greatly appreciate Emberly’s help, and we would definitely use her again.”

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our pets! We had a two week trip to Europe and it was so nice to be so far away and not have to worry. Charity even handled our AC dying during our trip and sorting out a repair man and keeping everyone cool and comfortable in the summer heat. Can’t recommend highly enough!”


“Madison was great with our dogs! She communicated often with updates and sent lots of photos and videos. My boys seemed to have a great time with her which allowed me to relax and enjoy our vacation. Will absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Miss Penny was so professional and personal right from the beginning. She took such great care of our pups and sent tons of pictures. I will absolutely ask Miss Penny to watch our doggos again, and I would recommend her to anyone confidently.”

“Did a wonderful job house sitting for my 4 dogs! Was very responsive and sent pictures/videos for us. I felt like she was very reliable and followed all instructions I had for each of my dogs.”


“Ashely was incredible!!! She gave great updates and was very easy to communicate with. My dog loved her! She also took fantastic care of my apartment while I was gone. I will for sure be booking with Ashley again! Thanks for everything Ashley!!!”

“Nicole did a great job. She gave me updates and informed me that she took the time to get to know my pups before entering the house. My husky can be very cautious with new people, but she knew how to handle the situation. She sent pics and was very professional.”

“Madison was great! She took care of our dog, rabbit, and fish tanks for a week in our home and everything was in perfect shape when we came back. We got daily updates and photos of the animals and they all looked like they were having a great time. We will definitely have Madison back!”

“Lenny is the best house sitter I've had yet! She was reliable and so caring toward my three great Dane boys who are all on a unique and high-maintenance diet. She was easy to communicate with and flexible to my needs. Thank you Lenny!”
“Isabella was so wonderful!! She was easy to work with, great communication, sent updates & pics and took such great care of my pup while I was out of town. She was so considerate of our home & we look forward to having her back!”


“Dory did a great job house sitting for my 3 dogs while I was out of town. Even though there was a large miscommunication/error on my part she was still able to accommodate us which I was very grateful for. She left the house immaculate, the dogs seem happy and she had great communication the whole time. Would 100% use her services again and recommend to anybody!”

About: Dog owner for 30+ years with a background in rescue and fostering. I specialize in senior pets and those with special needs, including medication, mobility support, and gentle, attentive care. I work in corporate America by day and bring that same level of reliability and professionalism to pet sitting. I’ll treat your dog the way I’d want my own cared for—with patience, respect, and genuine love. Because I work from home, I’m able to offer a flexible schedule and consistent presence for pets who benefit from routine and companionship. I’m fully available most evenings and weekends, with daytime availability during the week as my schedule allows. I prioritize reliability and will always communicate clearly about timing and availability. I live on nearly 3 acres, offering a quiet, low-stress environment for pets. Although the yard is not fenced, dogs are always kept safely on leash while outside. I have two well-mannered dogs and a cat who thinks he’s one of them, so I’m very comfortable managing a multi-pet household. I take introductions slowly to keep everyone safe and at ease. In your home, I maintain your pet’s routine and provide attentive, reliable care.
About: I have had dogs of my own who were my best friends and companions. I have dog sat for family and many friends. I have experience with dogs from a mastiff to a Maltese and everything in between. I will love your fur baby like it’s my own. I currently work a second shift job which gives me a lot of morning and evening flexibility to be able to take care of your pup! I have a fenced in yard for tons of activity and fetch. Crating will depend on owners preference, but space is available if needed. Currently no other pets in the house, so your dog gets all the attention and love!!
“Kieran and Nicole are amazing!! They are so professional and caring - you don’t have to worry about a thing ! I have 3 dogs and a cat- everyone was cared for and loved ! I highly recommend them!”

“Our pup and kitty LOVE Kaelin!! We’ve had her pet sit for the past 2 Christmas breaks and she’s been wonderful. Our dog is very high maintenance (kidney issues, IBS, and he’s blind) and it’s such a relief knowing he’s well taken care of while we’re away.”

About: I have been an avid animal lover and caretaker for all of my life. I am the friend everybody calls when they need someone they trust to ensure their pets are properly cared for. Animals are truly my passion and I cannot wait to meet your pets! I am currently working part-time and furthering my education so I have plenty of time in my week to help you with all of your pet care needs. Every pet owner has different expectations for the care of their furry friends. I am happy to work with you to decide on a gameplan that puts both you and your pets at ease.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet sitter with 13+ years of cat care experience and a gentle Rough Collie of my own. I’ve built long-term trust with clients through consistent, reliable care—backed by 91 five-star reviews and Star Sitter status. I specialize in attentive care for pets with specific needs, including medication schedules, special diets, senior care, multiple pets and anxious or sensitive animals who need a calm, steady presence. I’m very comfortable with routine and training reinforcement and following detailed instructions exactly as provided. I’m available for walks, in-home stays, extended daytime care, or multiple hours of drop-in visits depending on your pet’s needs. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent companionship and reduce stress for pets who do best with regular presence and routine. My goal is always to keep your pets comfortable and your mind at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own home and prioritize communication, consistency, and reliability so you always know they’re safe and cared for. I’m available for dog walking & pet check-ins 6am-10pm everyday including weekends. I’m a homemaker with a flexible schedule. If you need a different service/time please feel free to ask! I am experienced in making sure pets have the best environment possible when they’re in my care. Fresh food and water will always be taken care of, any messes will be cleaned up, and I always have time for extra playtime/attention. I believe we’re entrusted caretakers to all animals and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make your pets as comfortable as possible while in my care. :)
