“Bailey did a wonderful job house sitting my 3 fur babies. We did a meet and greet first, which went amazing. She kept me updated every day and sent pictures. My dogs are all little weirdos and have so many quirks but she took such great care of them and they definitely love her! We will fur sure be using her again for future house sitting needs!! Thank you again!!!”


“Ashton spent 8 days homesitting our two babies Frankie and Dixie while we were away on vacation. She texted us daily with pictures and updates on how things were going. We were pleased with her service, especially with her staying at our home with our babies. She took care of our babies and our checked the mail daily. Will use her again on future trips.”


“A-M-A-Z-I-N-G…WE ALL LOVE KAYTLIN!!! We have two rescue dogs; one of which had a significantly harder start in life and we spend every day trying to make up for that. She is not very trusting and rightfully so, but Kaytlin being so kind, gentle and deliberate in everything she does won over our Penny (Australian cattle dog mix). Our other girl Gigi (GSP mix) is much easier to win over, she has a ton of energy and LOVES to play ball and Kaytlin did not disappoint. By day two when Kaytin arrived both girls were barking with excitement. We were in town for 3 full days and she all but stayed overnight with us, as we were in a BBQ class in a neighboring city. She didn’t complain when we asked her to be there ungodly early and stay late. If she were willing to travel I would fly her in for all our housesitting needs. As for the husband and myself, Kaytin’s communication was OVER THE TOP FANTASTIC. She sent so many photos and was super conscientious, especially when one of our girls threw up on day 2; she has a sensitive stomach and sometimes playing to hard too early in the AM can upset it…nothing Kaytin did at all!!! We explained everything to do for Gigi and she was good as new an hour later…I know that because she communicated with us the entire time. I’m so glad we found you and are truly grateful for you taking such great care of our babies!!! We’re looking forward to seeing you once we plan our next trip to the area; we’ll reach out to book you before we book any other part of the stay.”


“Danielle house sat for my babies and took such good care of them! She even stayed late on the day I got home to make sure they weren't left alone for too long - I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her again!!”


“Leia did a wonderful job taking care of my fur babies. She went above and beyond to keep my home clean and comfortable. She sent daily pictures and my babies lived her. I highly recommend asking Leia to care for your animal(s). Thank you for a great experience!”


“Carol was the first sitter I've used from this site, and what an unexpected surprise! She kept in contact with me while I was gone, took wonderful care of my pet, and even left my home cleaner that it was when she arrived! I'll definitely use her again!”


“Naomi watched our sweet dog for the day while my partner and I were at our wedding. She sent pictures and told me what they did that day. She was so communicative! I really appreciate her loving on my baby and tending to all her needs. We will definitely be using her again! Thank you Naomi!”


About: I am a passionate pet lover with a lifelong fondness for fluffy friends. While lacking formal experience, my genuine love for animals, nurtured by caring for my childhood pet and assisting friends with pet sitting, ensures a compassionate and reliable companion for your fluffy family members! 🫶🏾 I had a cat named Aspen for about 10 years as a child before she sadly was hit by a car. 😞 She was the most unique colored cat I’ve ever seen to this day and I miss her dearly. After Aspen passed away, my parents didn’t and still doesn’t allow us to buy/adopt another pet. 💔 Because of this, any chance I have to interact with an animal, I will take it! Once I found out about this app, I RAN to apply and got accepted quickly! 🥰 My parents do not like animals in the house, but after some hard convincing lol— they allowed me to watch my bestfriends dog for a couple a weeks as well as one of my other friends cat which we kept for 4 months because she went abroad! 😝 Although I personally do not have a pet myself, because of my relatives, I’ve always been around a range of different animals! 🐾 My boyfriend has had a pekapoo for as long as our relationship lol (3 years so far) which I always care for when I’m visiting him! 😊 He knows how I desperately long for one of my own therefore he lets me take care of her when I visit… which is very often. 😆 While I may lack formal professional experience and currently don't have a pet of my own due to circumstances beyond my control 😔, my deep love for animals, nurtured by cherished memories of Aspen and countless experiences caring for friends' pets, fuels my unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care for your furry family members 🙌🏾. I understand the importance of trust when it comes to entrusting your beloved pets to someone else's care, and I am here to alleviate any concerns or questions you may have 🫡. With me, your fur baby will receive nothing short of attentive, compassionate, and reliable care 😊. I would be honored to be entrusted with the well-being of your beloved pets, so please don't hesitate to reach out and book with me! Your furry friend's happiness and safety are my top priorities!🔝🫶🏾💕 I currently have a part time job where I work Monday from 2-6 and Fridays from 10-2. I am also a college student but I only have in person classes Tuesday and Thursday mornings. If you are willing to work around those obligations, I’d be more than happy to sit for you! 💗 I have a big yard for playtime and nice neighborhood for walks. I like to keep things as tidy as possible especially when I’m someone else’s home.

“Ariana is fantastic! She was easy to communicate with and sent updates and pictures through out our trip. The dogs had a great time with her and it relieved so much stress knowing they had someone to play and cuddle with. She and her fiancé clearly love dogs and are great with them.”


“Lauren arrived right ok time, asked questions about Heath’s routine, and sent me updates and pictures throughout the night. Heath is a little shy at first but you could tell he got over it by the cute pictures Lauren shared.”

About: Since I was a young child, I’ve always loved animals. So when my neighbors need someone to care for their babies, it was a no brainer! I would do overnights at their house and take their dogs on walks. I always wanted my own and I have a dog now, Hinah and she’s the apple of my eye! I’ve taught her all the basic commands and we are now working on the fun stuff! I also am my own groomer! Super lucky that my dog loves baths. I am currently working part time, but my schedule at work is very flexible. As long as I have prior notice, my bosses are good with giving me breaks for walks if needed. Also I walk my own dog 3 times daily so I definitely can make time for more. I personally crate trained my dog. She no longer sleeps in the crate at 2 years old, but she still has the discipline. I will treat your animal just like my own. If you have any special rules or needs, I can totally accommodate that also. My house is clean and big free! I vacuum daily and yes, animals are allowed on my couch!

About: I’ve always been a dog and cat lover! I have a three-year-old mini golden doodle of my own. Ironically, I love big dogs too! Once, I dog-sat a huge golden doodle who was also an elder dog. I always made sure to treat him with the best care I could. I can’t wait to meet more pups and cats! I’m currently working full time morning shifts. I am trying to save up money to live more comfortably. I am mostly available in the evening time and the days I’m off I can do any time! I will always make sure your dog does not get off their leash and that they are always comfortable, safe, and loved ! I will also always make sure your cats feel safe and loved!

About: A home is not a home without my dogs. From whimsical wiener pups to lively labs, I’ve loved on dogs my whole life. Send your pets this way, where they’ll find their second home! Attending college online allows me take care of my dog’s needs and more. I get to spend most of the day with my dog since I work part time in the mornings 3 days out of the week. I’m mostly a homebody who enjoys making memories with my chocolate lab. I live in a house with a finished basement, so there’s plenty of safe space for dogs to playfully run around. We have a partially fenced backyard and open front yard with plenty of scents to uncover. The basement has a back door for quick access for emergency accidents and separate rooms if any dogs want some alone time.
