“Ashley was amazing and really helped us out when we were delayed on our trip. She took amazing care of Mags and Butters. The house was clean the pups happy. Would highly recommend Ashley and plan to use her in the future.”
“Cheryle was great. Our pets were very comfortable with her at first sight. She sent us pictures with updates. Very impressive and happy with her. Definitely will use them again.”
“Hunter is fantastic! She sent us plenty of pictures and updates and you could tell she’s a genuine person who loves animals! We will definitely be booking Hunter for future trips!”
“Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.”
“Will is awesome! He stayed with our pup for a few days at our home while we were traveling. She had some anxiety with us gone and Will did such a great job getting her to calm down and making sure she felt all the love. Will made her very comfortable and did a wonderful job- even helping us by tossing some linens in the wash so they were clean for us. We really appreciate Will and will use him again in the future!”
“Donna did an amazing job taking care of our dog Linde. I liked the fact that she didn’t bring another dog into our home. She took care of administering our dog’s daily medicine. She also gave Linde daily massages which she loves. When we got home Linde was calm and laidback obviously not stressed. Donna also left the house better than we left it. She sent us photos and videos of Linde while we were away. We definitely will try to use Donna for future vacations.”
“Samantha was absolutely amazing! She stayed overnight with my pup and two fosters. I got lots of picture updates and she left the house clean and organized! I highly recommend and will be using her again! Thank you!!”
“Skylynn (aka Ashton!) was fantastic watching my two large dogs. We have a Doberman and a Dalmatian who are pretty high energy and they were absolutely exhausted when we got back from our weekend trip. They were clearly well taken care of and the house was tidy when we returned. The updates and communication throughout the weekend was spectacular and put our minds to rest about the care my pups were receiving. Highly recommend and will be reaching out in the future again!”
About: Hi! I’ve been a dog lover since my family brought home a puppy that instantly became my best friend (and greatest excuse to go on long walks). Since I was 14, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter and walker for friends and family—whether it’s tiny chihuahuas with big attitudes or German Shepherds who think they’re lap dogs. I genuinely love spending time with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to slow-and-steady seniors. I’m dependable, attentive, and always ready for a walk, rain or shine. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family and send you way too many cute photo updates, I’m your girl! I’m currently available for pet sitting and walks throughout the day. Starting in mid-August, my availability will shift to evenings (3 PM–11 PM) on weekdays and all day on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule as best I can just send me a message! When it comes to caring for pets, their safety and happiness are my top priorities. I prefer to stay in the pet’s home environment, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I take great care in following any instructions you leave-whether it’s about feeding, medications, walks, or routines, so your pet’s day stays as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll stick to their schedule, respect their space, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they want them!). You can count on me to keep a close eye on their wellbeing, and to treat your pet like my own while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of pets for my friends before, with a wide variety of needs. Some were very old and blind, and needed a little extra care. I pride myself in doing my best to support the pets in my care. I'm available before 7 am and after 6 pm on workdays, before 7 am and after 1 pm on Saturdays, and all hours on Sundays. And I'll always make sure to follow the care schedule you want for your fur babies. I understand how much your fur babies mean to you, and I will always make it my top priority to provide them with a safe, loving and predictable environment. You can count on me to follow all your instructions when it comes to all of their routines.
“Lauren was a superb dogsitter! She was communicative, caring and left our house very clean. She even washed her linens and towels! I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“AWESOME SAUCE! Madalyn took great care of LIZA during my time away. Attention to detail, pics, communication was SPOT ON! Would recommend any day and will definitely hope to have her watch my pup again.”
“This was our first time getting someone we don't know to stay with our pets, but we will absolutely be using Lucy again if she's available. She's very sweet, communicates well, and it was obvious that our critters were comfortable with her.”
About: I have owned cats and dogs my whole life. They are my "kids" and very loved and totally spoiled. I will treat yours like my own.😄 I currently work in the healthcare field. My hours are somewhat flexible and there is always someone on premises to take care of the animals if I am gone. I have a fenced yard and two very friendly dogs who love to play and also love to lounge. I have two cats who are indoor only and they get aling great with dogs.😄 I currently work in the healthcare field and have some flexibility with my schedule. There is always someone on premises when I am not there. I have a fenced yard that my two dogs enjoy. There are toys everywhere both inside and outside. Long walks through the neighborhood weather permitting.
“Taylor was AMAZING with my kitty Pita! She sent tons of pictures and videos so that I knew Pita was being well cared for. She left my home cleaner than when she arrived. Pita was happy with her, I almost think she likes Taylor more than me! I will definitely be recommending Taylor :) Thank you!”
About: Not only have I grown up with cats and dogs, I’ve also been responsible for the care of my friends’ and neighbors’ pets on multiple occasions. From playing with little kittens to helping a senior pet with medications, I’m ready for anything and can’t wait to love on your pet! I am working between 35-40 hours a week, but my schedule is ever changing. I am typically available mornings and evenings and on weekends. I can make one home visit in the afternoon if necessary. I try to be as flexible as possible! If you have cats, I’ll be sure to give them the attention they ask for! Whether that be cuddling, playing, or sleeping. I will never invade the space of a cat if they are apprehensive or shy. If you have dogs, I’m ready to play a rough game of tug of war, walk around, or snuggle up on the couch (if permitted). And if you have both, that’s great—I’m ready to support them!

Taylor was amazing! She sent us daily updates along with pictures of both pets. She went above and beyond to make sure that our very anxious Luna was comfortable! From the moment we met Taylor, it was obvious how much she loves animals! We will definitely be booking with Taylor in the future!
Jade was amazing with my anxious corgi and my rambunctious lab! 10 out of 10 would recommend. She was great with keeping in touch and sending photos of my girls to ease my mind. She even stayed a bit longer so my dogs wouldn’t have to spend too much time alone before I arrived home. She’s the BEST!
Whitney did such an amazing job!! She stayed 10 days and my house looks great!! I just had a new kitchen floor put in and she took care of it perfectly!! Also, Trooper was on meds from the vet and she did amazing with that!! I highly recommend her services!! I have another trip planned in September and plan on using her again!! Thank you so much Whitney!!
