“I have used this app throughout the years and Nicholas is by far THE BEST! He is reliable, on time, communicates very well and leaves no trace. As a matter of fact, he left our place looking better than it was when we went away. Most importantly, our dog and cat were calm and happy - they were definitely in good hands. We recommend Nicholas and hope he is available for our family again in the future.”


“Michelle is AWESOME! My Frankie loved spending time with her over the holiday break and it put my mind at ease having someone so trustworthy here. Highly recommend her to any nervous dog parents ❣️🤗 Thank you, Michelle!!”


“Lillie is awesome with our sweet and sometimes willful pittie Flora. It's always reassuring to know our pup is in such good hands! And we come home to the house looking even better than we left it, so that's a nice bonus.”


About: With years of experience competing in dog shows, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior to every walk and sitting session. A lifelong animal lover, I’ve been around both cats and dogs since I was seven. Trust me to provide expert care and companionship for your furry friends. I’m currently working part-time. My Sunday and Mondays are always open and the rest of the week I am available after 2pm. I can also be very flexible if given early notice. I will care for your pets as if they’re my own. All instructions given to me will be strictly adhered to. My top priority is making sure your pet stays happy and healthy throughout each service.

“Jennifer was an excellent sitter for Bruce! She scheduled a meet and greet several days before her first time with Bruce. She arrived promptly and asked all the right questions to confirm to me that I—and Bruce!—were in good hands when she would be taking care of him. Jennifer is pleasant, communicative and very reliable! I definitely recommend her to you! And, I’ll be using her again! THANKS!”


“Siobhan came recommended by my sister. She is amazing and showed our dogs the same love and care that we do. Her communication was outstanding. Anytime we messaged, she messaged right back. I am a detailed planner and I left very detailed notes for Siobhan and she read through them and even did a bit of training with our hard headed husky “Woodford”.”


“Alicia is the best! We recently moved to the area and had a pre planned trip so I was nervous leaving Rori in our new house, but Alicia made me feel so calm with lots of updates of how Rori was doing. She really goes the extra mile to ensure your pet’s happiness. So great to know we have a wonderful new pet sitter in our new home! Thanks Alicia!”


About: I already know how to give certain medications, train certain tricks, and take care of old dogs that might need an extra boost. Im also very willing to learn something I may not already know how to do! I also don't just take care of your pets but your home too, if you need plants watered, trash taken out, mail picked up... just let me know! I Currently work some weeks from 3pm-9pm Monday-friday but my schedule is not always this way. If your pet needs extra care during this time that is something we could work out aswell! I try my best to step into your shoes while you are away to keep your pets routine very similar to what they are used to, but I also try to do extra fun things with them so its like a mini vacation for them while you are on your vacation! I keep a happy environment for you and your pets.

“Haley is an excellent sitter who truly loves and appreciates pets for the family members they are. She was able to accommodate our two dogs on short notice for house sitting. Extremely easy to work with and very professional, she will be our first choice for any future needs.”


About: For the past four years, I’ve been the dedicated sitter for a family who entrusts me with their pets every time they travel. I care for both their 2 dogs (Golden Aussie and Brindle Pitbull) and 2 senior cats, handling everything from feeding and playtime to clean up and companionship. I grew up with dogs and birds, and currently have a cat of my own, so I’m comfortable with animals of all kinds. I’m reliable, observant, and truly love spending time with animals—whether it’s a high-energy walk or a calm cuddle session. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I work full-time, but pet care is still a meaningful part of my routine. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for drop-ins or walks in the early mornings, evenings, and some lunch hours depending on your location. I’m used to coordinating around a work schedule, and I always make time for the animals in my care—they’re never an afterthought. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for your space. I follow instructions exactly, stay in close communication, and treat your home and animals with care. Whether it's keeping up with feeding times, administering medication, or helping your pet feel less alone while you're away, I bring a calm and reliable presence to every visit.

“Abby was a last minute find and was wonderful! She was really great at communicating before and throughout her stay with our two dogs. She sent photos and we could tell our dogs were really happy with Abby upon our return home. We’d be happy to have Abby back to our house to watch our pups again.”


“Hattie was a great sitter and I can tell that our pups loved her company! Our residence was left clean and well taken care of while we were away. We absolutely recommend her for all bookings and we will absolutely be booking her again for our next trip!”


About: I’ve trained and taken care of my own dogs including becoming a therapy dog team with my current dog, Jonas. I love “reading” dogs and responding to their needs. I dog sit in my home and also offer dog sitting services to guests at my Airbnb on-site. Currently I am using a walker and am awaiting hip replacement surgery. As part of my schedule of care, I do two walks per day and I practice training after each exercise session. I offer lots of variety in activities and it’s a safe place to have fun and play! I have two doggy doors and a fenced in dog yard. I have crates, many play and relaxing areas, and many toys to enjoy. Depending on the mix of dogs, I cater to your way of feeding, needs for training, etc.

About: Hi there! My name is Katelyn, I’m a registered nurse. I am an extremely active person, so if your pup likes to play, we will get along just fine! I love to go on runs, hike, and go for walks. I have sat for a variety of dogs of all breeds and sizes so I am comfortable with sitting almost all dogs! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns! I look forward to hearing from you soon :) I am extremely flexible and I am able to work with you to determine how to best meet your pets needs while they’re away from you. I make sure to create a safe environment for your pet no matter the environment. Each animal should be met with an individualized goal in mind.

About: I’ve pet sat since I was a child and hold deep compassion and empathy for all animals. I’m attentive and calm, and I’ve never met an animal I petsat who doesn’t love me after one day. I’m here to provide the relief and reassurance that comes with every owners biggest worry; if their pets will be safe and comfortable with someone new. I’m a part-time employee with a very flexible schedule. Given a week long heads up, I can work in a petsitting day and time best for YOU! Yes, your availability comes over mine. Any day and time will work, all pets deserve to be cared for no matter the time of day! I always keep pets stimulated when bored, and consistently happy and comfortable. I make sure they have plenty of room to roam, play and hide, have plenty of treats and toys for them, and make sure each animal stays clean, brushed/pet and feeling safe.

“Shawn was an absolutely awesome house and pup sitter. She was extremely responsive and fulfilled every promise during her stay. She not only ran our active Aussies to exhaustion (a tough task in itself!) but also kept the house tidy. It was obvious how well cared for our Copper and Indy were -- maybe too much so because they acted as if they didn't even realize we were gone. We could not be happier with her service and look forward to having her stay for us again in the future. Highly recommend!”

Alexis K.
“Alexis is part of our family, figuratively. Our "fur kids" love her. Alexis has been pet/house sitting for us for over 4 years now, approximately 5-6 times a year. She has helped us have one night away and/or up to almost 10 days at a time. She is loving, compassionate, dependable, intelligent and cares for our house and family as if it were her own home/family. She often will send us pictures of her with one of the dogs or cats loving on her. Knowing that Alexis is caring for our family allows us peace of mind to enjoy our time away.”

Jenny C.

“Jenny (and Jonas 🐶) are the real deal! We have a sweet older pup with lots of quirks and high anxiety. She has had a very hard time in the past when we have had to leave her to the point where she will stop eating and drinking. Jenny took the best care of her and got her to eat every day and made sure Marley was comfortable and having a great time. Mar can be nervous with other dogs but Jonas was great at reading her energy and keeping her company. We received lots of pictures and updates and felt so at ease. Thanks so much J&J!”


Katelyn C.

“Katelyn is one of the most caring and enthusiastic people I have met. I am her aunt and have had the pleasure of seeing her grow and flourish. I have also had the opportunity to work with her. She has dog-sat for me on countless occasions. Whether it has been for an entire weekend or just a night, she has always taken extremely good care of my three dogs that I have had over the years. I had a chow-chow until he passed away a few years ago. Katelyn and "Boo" were inseparable. After he passed away, I got two new dogs. "Mick" is a mut and was rescued along with "Dolan" who is a purebred Cavalier King Charles spaniel. Both dogs love Katelyn! She is an outstanding sitter who loves keeping the dogs active! She always offers to take them on walks/runs and to the park. I would highly recommend my sweet niece for the job!”


Damion B.
“Damion has had pets for as long as I have known him, both birds and cats, and they have always been very happy, healthy, social animals with no signs of mistreatment. He is always kind to my dogs and our other friends' pets and attentive to the animals' needs. In my 12 years of knowing him, he has always been a very kind, friendly, and responsible person and I think he would do great as a pet-sitter :)”


Olivia G.

“Thank you Olivia, it meant the world to know that Tegan was in great hands.”
