“Our minds and hearts were at ease leaving our girls and home in Sydney's hands! We have a geriatric Great Dane who needs help up and down and all around, so we had Sydney do some house visits for a few weeks leading up to our big 9-day trip to get them acclimated [the smaller dane is a piece of cake :) ]. Sydney went above and beyond to clean the yard and pick up the house even after all the stinky messes I'm sure she encountered at all times of the day and night. We already have Sydney lined up for a few more events and are so blessed and lucky we found her! (But please don't steal her time from us lol) THANK YOU, SYDNEY!!!!”


“Alison took extra special care of my two older dogs while I was gone for 10 days. Both of my pups have some health issues. She gave them meds, kept track of symptoms, and was proactive in letting me know about changes and concerns. She is always responsive and detail-oriented, and she shows genuine care for the whole family. From our conversations, I also know that she cares deeply about her community. I really appreciated getting regular photos of my dogs' goofy faces, and having that reassurance that they were happy and getting along just fine. Oh, and A++ for also looking after my ducks and plants!”


“Paloma was an absolute life saver. She watched my dog and parrot and gave them so much love. I felt that she adored my furry and feathered family like I do and it’s clear that she has a natural intuition with animals. In my case she went completely above and beyond when my AC broke when I was out of town. She made sure my animals were safe and comfortable and also troubleshooted the problem, let repair people in, and picked up an AC unit I ordered. She was exceptional and I would trust her with anything.”

“Jewel did a wonderful job stepping in with little preparation when my friend couldn’t stay with my pups while I was away. After a video meet and greet, Jewel came and figured out my pups complicated routines. She messaged when she had questions or concerns. Her co-sitter, Scout, was good with my dogs and extra careful with my elderly blind guy. My old guy, PV, wasn’t eating and we figured out that he had been missing his heart medication as well as his pain medication! As soon as his medication was straightened out, he was back chowing down. He fell in love with Jewel, leaning on her for pets — which he never does! Pearl, the diva head of the household, fell for Jewel right off and followed her around and slept with her and Scout. Not only did Jewel take great care of the pups, walking them daily and brushing them, she kept up the house so it was neat when I returned, took out the garbage, got the mail, and did poop scooping in the back yard as well as watering the plants! I will certainly have Jewel stay with my dogs again when I travel. If you have pets you love that may have complicated medication schedules, Jewel can manage and I highly recommend her.”


“Mikayla was absolutely marvelous with all of our pets: 2 dogs, a cat and 4 guinea pigs. All absolutely adored the pampering and careful attention they received during the time that she house sat for us. She has superb attention to detail and provided the best quality care for the animals and our home. Highly recommend her for whatever your pet care needs are.”


“Gretchen is a great dog and house sitter! She is very easy going, sends plenty of updates of our pup, and made us very comfortable during the whole process. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Highly recommend! Jesse watched our two cats while we were away for the week. She kept us updated and did a great job taking care of them. The cats were happy and healthy when we got home and I could tell they were being well taken care of all week. Jesse was a pleasure to work with and we look forward to working with her again in the future!”


About: My entire life has consisted of dogs and cats in the house and I love my furry pals. Currently co-parenting two senior dogs. Can teach sit, lay, stay and better walking habits. Also experience with animal home check-ups, feeding meds and little play dates. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I'm a stay-at-home artist with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily work in a few pet care clients throughout the week or weekend. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or extended stays, I can usually adapt my day to meet your pet’s needs. Let’s chat and see how I can help! I always aim to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible by sticking closely to their usual routine—feeding times, walks, play, medications, and all the little things that help them feel secure while their humans are away. When I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and thoughtful about your pet’s environment. I take the time to understand their personality, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Whether it's giving extra love to a senior pet, administering meds, or just keeping a shy cat company, I care for every animal like they’re my own. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

“Chelsea is a great pet sitter. She took very good care of our two cats. Anytime I texted, she responded right away. Our house was spotless when we returned. I highly recommend Chelsea and I would definitely use her again to take care of my pets.”


“Taylor was a great dog sitter and guest in our home! She was on time, communicated well and made sure to send plenty of pictures and updates. She dealt with our senior dog and rescue with so much care, when we came home they were so happy. She also left our home in spotless condition”


“Amanda was a great sitter for our 2 border collies. She kept us updated and all was great upon our return. Monsoons caused nervous dogs and a power outage, Amanda was a trooper through all of it. We would definitely recommend her.”


“Amber stayed at my house and took care of my dog, cat and lizard for 4 days. I felt comfortable having her at my home and she took great care of my pets! I would highly recommend her!”


About: Hello! My name is Stephanie Austin. Growing up in rural Delaware, we always had at least one family dog who we took on long off leash walks and played with in our big backyard. Having so much space allowed for the opportunity to connect, bond with, and read our dogs while they were having tons of fun and just being themselves. Fun Facts: I have previous dog sitting experience, and I used to volunteer at my hometown SPCA, where I got to learn and play with over 40 different dogs. When I graduated high school, I adopted Minnie, and she has been by my side ever since. For twelve years, she has been my hiking partner, shot gun rider, and my little spoon. I understand that your dog has their own unique set of personality traits, and I look forward to learning them and playing with them! I currently work out of town Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. So I am home free from Friday through Monday. I am able to stop by your home several times a day to let your animals outside and spend time with them! Overnight house sitting is pending. I will ask for a run down of your pets daily routine and mirror that the best I can. Ensuring lots of pets, treats, and play time!

About: I have over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. For the past 5 years, I’ve raised and cared for my own dog; providing daily walks, consistent training, and lots of love. Before that, I spent 4 years dog sitting for friends, neighbors, and family, gaining experience with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and needs. I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to older dogs with special routines. Safety, consistency, and affection are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I don’t start my new job until early November so I currently am very flexible with my time at the moment and can accommodate accordingly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or yours, I prioritize comfort and routine. I follow each pet’s individual care plan closely including feeding schedules, walk times, medication (if needed), and favorite activities. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and strive to maintain your dog’s normal routine to minimize stress. In my home, pets have a calm, clean environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and receive attention. I keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Lyz was absolutely fantastic! She watched our two dogs, Molly and Wyatt, for 8 days and went above and beyond in every way. Communication was great—she sent regular photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We have a large, energetic 1-year-old shepherd who’s still very much in his puppy phase, and Molly, our 4-year-old, tends to be a bit skittish with new people. Lyz was incredibly patient, and Molly warmed up to her beautifully. She stayed in our home and treated it with the utmost care—we came back to everything exactly as we left it. It truly felt like she cared for both our pets and our home as if they were her own. I would highly recommend Lyz to anyone looking for a reliable, respectful, and caring sitter. We feel lucky to have found her!”

“What a wonderful experience with Marnesha. She took care of Rowdy while I was on a mini-vacation. When I came back, Rowdy told me he felt like he was on vacation under Marnesha's care. He is an elder pup and Marnesha made sure he got all his required medicines and vitamins. You will not be disappointed with the care that her and her beautiful dog, Sebastian, will provide. Thank you Marnesha.”


“Amelia did a great job loving on our fur babies and making sure they were taken good care of! When we came home, they looked healthy and happy, and that's the best thing we can ask!”

Monique L.
“Monique was great with our pets! She took the time to hang out with them and give them lots of scritches and attention. Since they are a little needy, this can be extra work, but Monique became like a 2nd "pet mom" to them while we were out of town. Due to some medical issues, they had daily medications that were necessary and she ensured that these were administered. Periodically, she would send photos of them to let us know they were doing well and were happy. I felt comfortable knowing our fur babies were well looked after and would gladly ask Monique to care for them again.”

Stephanie A.
“Stephanie is your choice when it comes to a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Her respect, knowledge, and intuition around animals is strong, and is reenforced by how much her own dogs love and respect her. She is playful, light-hearted, and genuinely enjoys the company and spirit of animals of all sorts. Her background in horses gives her a leg up when it comes to interacting, and "speaks" to the animals in a way that builds a respectful bond between owner and pet. She is punctual, attentive, and a good communicator. If you're looking for a responsible and kind person to watch over your four legged babies, send Steph a message!”


Elizabeth M.
“Liz takes great care of our pup. Long walks, short walks, and even a few trips to the dog park. Our pup loves her and looks forward to seeing her. We have found Liz to be conscientious and trustworthy. Highly recommend her!”
