“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 took good care of JoJo for an evening. She displayed a gentle, warm approach with him and he was very comfortable with her. We will be glad to engage her again.”
“Karla has taken great care of my greyhound Karl and cat Benny multiple times. Our house is in great shape when we return, and the boys seem very happy and relaxed when we return home. I highly recommend her!”
“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 wonderful! She kept me very well informed about her stay, was quick to respond, and left the house perfectly clean! She even got my picky senior dog to take medication (which I struggle with). High recommend, will definitely reach out to her with any future needs.”
About: I have taken care of animals (mostly cats and dogs) for almost 10 years. I have helped multiple family and friends pets and are comfortable with feeding them meds, walking, and keeping them company, among many other things. Currently, pet sitting is my only job so I have tons of free time on my hands to help people out. It fills me with great joy to be able to be there for someone’s animal when they aren’t around. I prefer to keep the pets at the clients home because I know it is where they are most comfortable. I love being able to make myself comfortable while also looking after the pet.
“Michelle is the most dedicated dog sitter! She is attentive to every need/want our Gracie had. We will definitely reach out to her again. She also takes and sends the most beautiful pictures and videos. Thanks so much for taking care of our Gracie.”
“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.”
“Aura is amazing!! I could tell she really knew what she was doing by her thoughtful questions. She even asked permission to take my dog on a walk in the wilderness which i could tell he absolutely loved from the pictures!”
“Meredith was great with Waffles while I was abroad. She checked in regularly with updates and sent pictures. She also left the house in great shape when she left! Highly recommend.”
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.
“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!”
“Aidan did a great job with our senior guys. We appreciated Aidan's quick responses and their gentle and confident attitude. Aidan also did a great job with our apartment and it was spotless when we returned. Thanks, Aidan! We hope to have you hang with the boys in the future.”
“I booked Melissa to pet and house sit for a holiday weekend and she was absolutely wonderful! She provided me with frequent updates and lots of great pictures and videos every day. The dogs got frequent walks and were well taken care of while I was away. I came home to a spotless house and some happy dogs! I really appreciate having a sitter who is trustworthy and provides such a high level of care for my fur babies. I will absolutely be booking Melissa again in the future!”
“Bri was a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to ensure our Frenchie was well taken care of. We will definitely work with her again in the future!”
“Susan was amazing with our cat Molly! She followed all the notes/and rules we left for the apartment and for Molly. Susan was respectful of the apartment and honestly left it cleaner than we left it for her! We got updates every night and photos of Molly. Susan was amazing, reliable, transparent, and very diligent with being clean during these COVID times! We're looking forward to having Susan again when we travel!”
About: I have years of experience taking care of my two feline sons Tater and Tot, as well as a variety of other cats, dogs, and even a few snakes, hamsters, and goats! I understand that pets are family and know it is a privilege to take care of your fur babies. I would treat your pets with the same love and care I show towards mine. As a graduate student with remote classes, I have lots of flexibility to take care of your fur babies, whether early in the morning, late at night, or anytime in between! I know how hard it is to be to be away from your pets. I want you to know that if I have the privilege to care for your fur babies, I will treat them as if they were my own and will send you lots of photos to help put your mind at ease! I am meticulous about cleaning up after pets, will monitor their food intake and hydration, and will provide lots of opportunities for socialization, exercise, and play! I will also keep you posted on their daily health behaviors and will carefully follow any instructions you provide.
“Shawn did a wonderful job caring for my dogs while I was away visiting family. She is very friendly, clearly cares for animals and thorough in inquiring the needs of all 3 dogs. The dogs were very comfortable with Shawn and were well adjusted when I arrived home. I hope to have Shawn sit for my pets again.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond for me and Jackson! She was absolutely amazing with Jax even when he was anxious and was also great when an issue at my apartment came up! I’d recommend her to anyone and will for sure be booking with her again!”

Jennifer was all around wonderful. She is very communicative and provides updates during her stay and lots of photos, which I really appreciated. She took excellent care of my 3 dogs and was very attentive to their needs. The dogs definitely enjoyed Jennifer’s company. House/yard was left in very good order. I will definitely have Jennifer take care of my dogs in the future.
Katie recently stayed with our three large labs for a night, including our 15-year-old with mobility difficulties. My family and I were hesitant to go away, knowing our oldest needs extra care and attention, but after meeting Katie we felt confident he would be in good hands — and he was. From cleaning up destroyed couch pillows to tending to geriatric needs, Katie handled it all with patience and care. When we returned, it was clear the dogs had felt comfortable and at ease. We will definitely be booking with Katie again and cannot recommend her enough!
Beyond my expectations. This is the first time I have had the courage to leave my Belgian Terv with Anyone Julia is responsible. Julia respected all of my wishes. I hope she had time to relax. Julia took them for walks often. I was very very lucky to find such a lovely responsible lady Julia also watch’ed Blu my dachshund
Aidan did a great job with our senior guys. We appreciated Aidan's quick responses and their gentle and confident attitude. Aidan also did a great job with our apartment and it was spotless when we returned. Thanks, Aidan! We hope to have you hang with the boys in the future.
Can't say enough good things about Casey - she took such great care of our two little old dogs. Super-responsive, thoughtful - we so appreciated all the photos of our pups while we were away, and the updates. And she was super-considerate of our home too. Want to enjoy your time away? Book Casey!
Tyler was so responsive and mindful of our pups’ needs when he took on our stay at the last min. He made sure we had updates on how things were going, was great about regular updates and check ins. Made us feel so comfortable about being away from home and without our older furry friends. He really paid attention to our dogs and their personalities/cues in a very short span of time. Can’t say enough positive things about Tyler.
Joanne took great care of our two playful and active boys (cattle dog mix and pitbull mix) for an overnight in our home. Our pups were both happy and sleepy when we got home making me confident that Joanne gave them ample exercise and attention. She also left the house clean and tidy. Will definitely be booking with her again!
Polly watched our pup, Mister Chicken Man while staying at our home. The moment we met Polly, we felt her genuine kindness and warmth, and so did our dog. She is the first person we have trusted with our dog, besides family and close friends. She sent so many updates and photos throughout her time with Chicken, we never had a worry in our minds. Polly took him for long walks and adventures every day and got plenty of exercise. He was pooped when we got back home! She will definitely be our go-to sitter for any future times we’re out of town. We would recommend Polly to anyone. You’ll definitely be trusting a reliable sitter and maybe make a friend in the process.
