3. Jessica O.

About: I have lived with, loved, and cared for dogs my entire life; I am no stranger to their habits and needs, which go beyond the simple necessities of food and water. I provide a safe and happy home for my own pets and will extend that same level of care to any dog that I look after. I work from home, so I can give them all of the attention they need, from playing in my half-acre yard, to just sitting together on the couch. Inside there is a comfy couch for sitting, and spacious rooms areas that can be sectioned off if a dog needs some privacy or special attention. You can also find me on Instagram, username thedogswillplay along with many happy and adorable clients.

“I feel very confident Chai (maltipoo) is being taken care of during Makayla’s visit, she’s my go to every time I’m spending some time away from home! I definitely recommend, she’s a great communicator and pet sitter 💕”


5. Morgan A.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We are so grateful to have found Morgan! She took care of our whole kitty crew with incredible attentiveness, warmth, and good humor. From the moment we connected, she was friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with — even asking thoughtful questions ahead of time to make sure they had all the details right. Throughout the week, we received daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet little stories about our cats’ personalities (even shy Chanchita came out of her shell!). She followed our very detailed instructions perfectly, including medication, litter box care, and keeping an eye out for mischievous Mr. Bingley’s adventures. When we accidentally left out a knife and panicked, they calmly reassured us it was already handled. She even took care of little extras like bringing in a Chewy delivery and making sure the finicky keypad didn’t slow them down. We came home to happy, well-fed, calm cats — who honestly seemed a little bummed their new best friends weren’t still around. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Morgan again. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for caring, reliable, and genuinely lovely people to care for your furry family!”

11. Rich M.
About: I've had several dogs in my life, smaller and larger dogs. I had a cocker spaniel mix when I was a kid, a collie when my kids were young, and most recently a German shepherd. Each had their own personality and I have special memories of each one of them. I have taken care of older dogs and younger dogs. I can handle the energy of younger dogs and the needs of older ones. We have always seen our pets as members of the family and I hope you will allow me to see your dog in the same way. I have friends that I have stayed at their house for a couple of weeks to spend time with their dog while they were on vacation. We went for walks twice a day and had a lot of time playing together. I work remotely in my job so I am happy to work from wherever is needed to take care of your pet. My schedule is flexible and I will work hard to accommodate the schedule of you pet. If you just need someone to come to walk your dog or just spend time with your cat, I have the flexibility in my day to do that. My first goal is to make your dog or cat comfortable with my visit. If I'm staying in your home, I will follow the routine you have set to do just that.


12. Jenna C.

“Jenna was wonderful with Bruce. She was quick to respond to messages, and was incredibly flexible with my frequently changing schedule. I really appreciated her visit updates and photos. The peace of mind I got from knowing that Jenna was dropping in to visit Bruce was priceless. You won’t regret booking Jenna!!”


13. Abbie A.
About: For multiple years I have pet sat for many friends and family. I also have experience working in a boarding center attached to a veterinarian office. This has given me the knowledge to identify cues from the animal on how to best take care of them! I work full-time, but my job gives me the flexibility to change when I work day-to-day. I like to be available in the evenings on weekdays, so that is when I get to spend one on one time with the animals. I find it best for the animal when one on one time is spent in their home. I also like to take dogs on long walks, making sure all of their energy is spent before going back to the house. I enjoy spending time with pets in their own environment, it seems to me that their personality shines through when they’re comfortable in their home.


14. Han & Bryan X.
“Han is a caring and responsible pet caregiver. She treats pets like her own and ensures they are happy, healthy, and well-loved. I highly recommend Han as a pet caregiver.”


15. Julie B.

“What a great job she did. I am so happy with her service”


16. Nikki E.

“Nikki did a fantastic job! We left for an eight day trip and needed someone to care for our four cats while we were away… She was happy to come over in advance and meet them to learn their routines, including give them medication and prescription foods for their different needs. She also made sure to give them treats and affection, and update us daily with reports and pics. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone!”


17. Amanda I.
About: Hi! My name is Amanda! I have two German shepherds together with my family. You won't believe this! I have a perfect spot for your pets where they can feel at ease and enjoy playing in a fenced yard, and it's also close to a dog park! This means you can rest easily knowing your fur baby won't be alone at either your home or mine, especially since I have twocats to keep them company! I am good at handling dogs that are untrained because I have a lot of patience to handle. I also like to learn new experiences with various dogs so I can get one of my own in the future. Animals are the best therapy you ever ask for to keep them in your life. I’d love to help in any way possible and spend time/ looking after your furry ( or non-furry) love(s). Please inform me of any specific needs or behaviors your dog may have that I should consider. My preference is for breeds that exhibit diversity. I am adaptable in many aspects. I am eager to learn how to physically care for any pet. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out, and I'll respond promptly. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your pets. I’m currently working full-time, but I have plenty of time to care for your pups or cats! I’m available for boarding and all other services after my workdays and on weekends, starting at 4:30 PM. We can discuss the specifics to find a schedule that works for you. I have a fenced yard and easy access to a nearby dog park, and I also have three friendly cats who can keep your fur baby company. I understand that routines are essential for pets, and I’m committed to following any specific instructions you provide to meet your pet's needs. My goal is to ensure your furry friend feels safe and loved, while also giving you peace of mind that they are in capable hands.

19. Heather L.


“Heather was amazing! I had one dog not feel well and escape during her visit and she handled all of it brilliantly! The peace of mind I had while on my trip was worth every penny!”


20. Jaime A.
About: Hello! My name is Jaime and I'm an enthusiastic animal lover of all shapes and sizes! If I didn't pursue a career in anthropology, I would've become a veterinarian. I currently have a tuxedo cat named Pepper and a ragdoll/siamese cat named Luna, but I have many years of experience taking care of dogs as well. I have four years of experience being a care taker for various animals of my close friends and family. I take any opportunity to go on walks, play, and even snuggle! I would be honored to care for your animals as if they were my own. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to message! I currently work full time from 10 am-5pm, and I am free on the weekends! I will have plenty of time both in the morning and in the afternoon to take dogs to the bathroom as well as keep them entertained by going on walks and having much needed playtime! I have two friendly cats both under the age of two who love to meet new animals. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for dog walking. I try to stick to the same routine as possible to ease the animal's anxiety and keep them entertained through play and cuddles! I would be more than happy to send photo updates throughout the day to make sure the client's anxiety is also at ease by knowing that their animal is being loved and cared for!
