“An incredibly effective and quick communicator. She pays close attention to the dogs’ routines and remembers all the important details. We always receive photos while we’re away, which gives us great peace of mind. She also takes wonderful care of our home. Highly recommend!”

“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”

“Maleny is the best!! She follow all instructions(we left a lot of specific info) and she truly care about our cats! The attention to the details is outstanding!!! We recommend her 100%!!!!”

“Selena took great care of our dogs!! She was great at communicating, the dogs were very happy and the house was tidy when we got back :) we would definitely have Selena watch our dogs again”

“Alyssa was amazing! We have an elderly 15 year-old Jack Russel who needs a lot of care, and she did a great job looking after him. She also did house sitting while we were away, and the house looks better than we left it. Highly recommend. I will definitely ask her to sit for us again. Thanks!”


“Lucy was well taken care of and loves River. I think River went above and beyond with all the housekeeping and laundry. It is much appreciated 🥰 Already have River rebooked for next month. It’s great peace of mind being able to leave Lucy without worries. Thanks so much River!”

About: I'm an animal lover. I had dogs and cats and mainly had just dogs/cats in the past. I've always wanted to take care of animals. Even starting out as a walker/sitter it’s fun to be able to help I live in a house with a yard and they do allow animals. I will make sure they will not be able to escape. I will never forget to feed them. Play with them. Take them out whenever they need to go. I will keep the owners up to date with everything involving their pets. I have a small back patio but the place does have a big dog park! I do want to put that making a list of things that you normally would do with your pet, fill free to write down and tell me. Any questions at all ask me. Please review on booking me. Currently unemployed and my first time being pregnant! So I am looking into making some income someway before starting back up work but I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! And or cats! I’m available for walking/ check ins any time of day(I’ll be a bit slow but definitely high energy for the furry ones! I’m great at providing whatever needs fit, either high energy for a young pup or a low casual exercise for those senior babies lol :) If I were to care for someone’s pet in their home I’d make sure to bring extra items for their pets like extra food bowls, walking harnesses/leashes or food.
“Erica took such good care of my energetic pup while we were in town for a weekend. She was so fast to reply, took him on great hikes, and sent fantastic photos. She also was able to flex to help me out even more than requested. Will definitely contact her again when we are back!”
“Mickayla was absolutely wonderful with our Golden Retriever and 2 kitties. She provided meds to one of the kitties, exercise for our pup, great communication and the house was in perfect condition upon our return. Would highly recommend her!!”
“We were in a real bind to get a sitter and she was able to help us at the last minute. She took great care of both of our dogs and even washed some of their blankets while we were gone. Would recommend her again!”

“Wes was great with all three of my dogs. He did a meet and greet prior to staying with them. He is caring and has compassion for the dogs. They felt at home with him and even my timid pup warmed up to him quickly. He gave my older pup his pain medicine. He’s great with young and old dogs. He reached out quickly when one of my dogs was acting ill. He left my home in excellent condition as well. Thank you, Wes, for caring for my pups when I had to be away for work.”

“Chris was an excellent pup sitter for our black lab. We were nervous to leave our boy and it was our first time having a stranger in our home to care for him. Chris was kind and patient with Cayde and gave us frequent updates on how things were going. Chris put us at ease and left the home as he found it. We'd definitely have him return for future in-home pet sitting!!”


About: I’ve pet sat for over 10 years for friends & family. I’d love to care for yours. I have two tabby’s who are well trained and have been around dogs in the past. My pup unfortunately passed away last summer and I’m not ready to get on full time but would love to care for yours as I cared for her and give them the best experience while you’re away. I have the weekend free, Columbia and I tend to go on hikes and or at the park. During the week, I go home directly to let my own dog out to the bathroom. I will follow any instructions following your pet. I understand how important consistency is. We have a side yard for playing, potty breaks or sunbathing.
About: I have, of course experience as a pet lover as a young child, merely watching and walking the dogs, feeding and changing litter/ picking up after the dogs. I never fully had responsibility and experience until I adopted my pal Leo. He is a high energy lab retriever and puts me through every step of patience! All in all, it has taught me to be stern and serious when needed, but flip it around to fun and playful as well. My boy knows to respect me and listen when i give a command. I know with my body language and direct nature will ensure your pups and kitties are loved and watched over. I will give your pets the time and attention you allow and ensure that while you are away there is plenty of fun to be had, and plenty of adventure as well :) I will be enrolling in school online at SNHU and will be taking courses at home. I will have afternoons and evenings off, So, plenty of free time for your beloved furry companions. I have experience with all types of dogs, not so much cats, but i am a day by day learner! I take everything into opportunity to gain a new skill. I will ensure your pet feels safe and secure with me, all of their needs will be met so long as they are in my care! :)
“Christina stayed overnight with our two large dogs, one of which has many medical issues, and took incredible care of them! They made sure the pups went out, had their meds on time, and left the house in fantastic condition. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have grown up being surrounded by dogs! My dad always had dogs in our home. I raised my pitbull/lab mixed breed dog Nala from when I was the age of Ten until she passed away when I was 21 years old. She taught me a lot about being a pet owner as well as a person! She was my best friend🤍 I am a very active, responsible, and empathetic person! I enjoy being outdoors going on long walks, hikes, and runs! I’m always down for a furry friend to tag along :) My current work schedule is 6am to 6pm Sunday through Tuesday :) I am available throughout the week on my days off for some pet care! I am respectful of other spaces! I like to stay occupied and am willing to go on adventures with your fur baby! I am full of love to give for animals. My full time job is caregiving so I’m the kind of person to place others needs before my own, but I do prioritize my health so I’m always in tip top shape for whoever/whatever needs my attention!
“Allie took great care of our fur kids while we were on vacation. She asked really good questions before we left and communicating was easy, with quick response. We also appreciated the thoughtful photos/updates about how they were doing! Will definitely rehire for future pet-sitting needs.”

“ErinW🐕 was fabulous! She was patient and wonderful with my two senior girls Gemma & Loretta. Loretta is blind & needs extra attention.I was happy to hear updates, jealous of the fun they were having❣️I will definately be using ErinW again💕”
