Paige took such good care of our house and our three puppies while we were gone. She was super communicative, shared pics, and I could tell made everybody really comfy. During the meet and greet, she was asking great questions and writing everything down. We love Paige and will definitely be calling her again soon!

Maria was fantastic. We were worried about leaving our two young dogs with someone new but she treated them like they were her own. She also sent updates and pictures as requested and I could tell that they loved her. We are so glad that we found her!

After years of searching for a trustworthy, personable, and knowledgeable in-home pet sitter, we are so grateful to have found Anna. Anna is dependable, caring, and has all the skills needed to confidently care for multiple dogs. From the moment she met our pups, she formed an immediate connection with each of them, despite their very different personalities, preferences, and obedience levels. It's clear that she genuinely loves animals, and they love her right back. We truly can't say enough wonderful things about Anna—although we'd rather not praise her too much because we'd love to keep her all to ourselves! Thank you, Anna, for giving us the peace of mind to travel without a single moment of worry, knowing that our pups and our home are receiving the very best care!

About: I have had my dog for over 6 years now, his name is Max and he is a Caucasian Shepherd/Ovcharka mix. He's a very big boy, I would add my old dog Sammy, he was a Beegle, but I was too young to care for him nor remember him all too well, but I will always remember the love I had and still have for him. I am a primary caregiver for some of my friends and family for their pets as well, I did not want to be compensated, they convinced me to make an account on here. I'm currently working semi full-time, meaning I am marked as a full-time worker, but they are not giving me my full hours so my time shifts from week to week. That is why I would like to be contacted a week in advance so, I can properly manage my schedule from week to week, whether it be house sitting, walking or just hanging out with the little fur dudes and dudettes. I can not provide in-home care as my current living situation can not provide a safe environment. Hopefully this will change soon, but I can provide a safe, clean and loving environment in comfort of your home since going to new places can be stressful depending on the pup or cat.

Will was amazing with Willow and Wick. He was timely, communicative, and reliable. He was so great even our shy cat came out to hang out with him. He even took our puppy for her first run! He sent us pictures and videos of them everyday and if we had questions throughout our trip he responded promptly to them. We will definitely be booking Will for any future things we may need with our fur babies!

Brooke was absolutely wonderful!!! Leaving our 7-year-old Japanese Akita with someone new was a big decision for us, but Brooke exceeded all of our expectations. She took the time to build trust with Eoshi, and it was clear from her updates that she genuinely cared about his well-being. When we returned home, Eoshi was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. He ate well, enjoyed plenty of walks, and seemed completely comfortable with Brooke. We were especially happy to see that they developed such a great bond while we were away. Brooke also took exceptional care of our home. Everything was spotless when we returned, and she even started a load of laundry with the bed linens before leaving, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Brooke with Eoshi again in the future. Highly recommend!

About: With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I’ve worked with breeds of all sizes and personalities—from Rottweilers, Mastiffs and Pit Bulls to French Bulldogs, Australian Shepherds, English Bulldogs and many others. I have a special passion for working with dogs that others may be hesitant to care for, including large breeds, strong personalities and reactive or misunderstood dogs. As someone who understands the challenges of owning these incredible pets, I provide patient, confident and compassionate care without judgment. To me, pets are family and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m experienced in caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, following detailed care instructions and maintaining consistent feeding and medication schedules. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, aging or simply needs extra attention I’m committed to providing a safe, loving and reliable experience while you’re away. I’m available for 30–60 minute midday drop-in visits on weekdays, as well as after 4:30 PM on weekdays. I’m available all day on weekends. My weekday schedule is somewhat flexible and I’m happy to work with clients to accommodate their pets’ needs whenever possible. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your beloved pet is a big decision. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime and companionship while ensuring your home remains clean, secure and exactly as you left it. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

Anna was amazing, not only did she show up on time, but she sent me several check ins throughout the night. She made sure that I knew that my Furkid was happy and safe. She followed the directions I left for her to the T. Anna was extremely punctual and professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of pet sitting. She was the epitome of a perfect pet sitter. I will definitely book her again ❤️

About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their personalities!Doing this for the past 5 years has given me a range of experiences and deepened my affection for pet care. I’ve worked with dogs and cats ranging from young/old/energetic/relaxed/fussy/playful and everything in between! Communication is my #1 as your sitter, not just the fun updates and pictures but also any questions/concerns about your fur baby as they come up in real time! Being able to provide peace of mind for my clients while they’re away from their pets brings me so much joy, as I understand it can be hard to know if they are truly being cared for the way you prefer. My main goal as your sitter is to gain not only your trust, but your pets trust and love as well :) I pride myself in being reliable, caring, and flexible, and I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I’m currently working on cutting my work hours so that I have a part time schedule and can be more available in the afternoons/evenings, but I’m also available for petsitting/overnights on the weekends (or for longer trips when given notice), as well as drop in visits/walks - just let me know your needs and hopefully we can work something out! At the moment, I don’t have the ability to bring your pets into my own residence for care. However, all of my 5+ years of pet experience has involved care in the clients home, so I am very familiar with what it takes to maintain a pets routine in their home environment. Whether I’m showing up for a quick walk/feed or spending a week with your fur baby, I will ensure your house is left in the condition I find it (if not better!). Safety and respect are top priority to me; if you allow me the opportunity to offer you my services, I hope to earn your trust and show you I can provide the best care for your pet and your home.

About: I provide reliable, attentive care to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppies and senior pets, including basic training support, structured routines, gentle senior care, and medication reminders when needed. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free, and I always treat them like my own. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I build my schedule around feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible and get consistent attention throughout the day. Living near a lake and a grass area in my apartment complex also makes it easy to provide regular exercise and outdoor time. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and safe apartment environment with plenty of attention and structure. I live right next to a lake and have access to a grass field within my apartment complex, which is great for regular walks, potty breaks, and exercise. I make sure pets get consistent routines, playtime, and rest based on their needs, whether they’re energetic puppies or slower-paced senior pets. In a client’s home, I follow their established routine closely to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, and I provide regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing.

I work mornings and am available after 4:00 pm on days that I work. Otherwise on days off I have open availability! I have experience administering medications to both cats and dogs. I love to play with animals to provide them with enrichment! If injections are needed (ie insulin) I am very teachable since I am an RN :)

I currently help dog sit and walk my neighbors dogs and my schedule is extremely flexible I currently have an extremely flexible schedule so I can work Monday through Sunday and I am willing to work with anyone on fitting my schedule around their needs. I currently live in a small ADU Unit in a backyard that is fenced off from my neighbors who own two friendly dogs, due to how small my unit is I would prefer to stay at a clients home if I needed to dogsit overnight!

As anyone who travel outside the country, the first hurdle we face is how to ensure our fur friends continue to be spoiled in the way they are used to. In our case we wanted someone to care for the pups and our house. I am here to report that Kailou did an excellent job on both counts. The frequency of her videos quickly reduced any appreciation we had about leaving. Well done Kailou and 😊.

About: Hello! I'm Charlie I've been working for over 15 years taking care of children and on occasion, pets. I'm hoping to add more animals to my life as I am finishing my RN-BSN, the stress relief and excuse to get outside that furry friends offer is immeasurable! I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs as an occasional sitter/walker and home co-habitant and have had a wonderful feisty cat for over 14 years. (She stays at home unless otherwise specified) I have the most experience with middle aged to older dogs, and manage to win over even the most tentative of furry family members. (I'm also shy, so I attribute it to mutual awkwardness.) I have experience giving eye drops, disguising medication's as treats (or convincing stubbon animals to take medication) and I am experienced in giving injections. I'm more comfortable and experienced with medium and larger dogs , cats of all sizes and temperaments (but i will not turn down the opportunity to make a small dog, bunny, scaley or feathered friend!) . I've experienced some mischievous puppy antics that have led to my finding out that I can keep level headed in an emergency. As I mentioned above, I work in childcare, so I have experience performing work unsupervised in other peoples' homes, am a nurse working on my BSN (so background checks are no issue) and can provide necessary references if requested to ensure my trustworthiness. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about me and my experience. Thank you. I'm currently in school part-time for my BSN while searching for new grad RN positions and helping out with a local nursing association. I have a flexible schedule and can often work around your needs. I usually housesit In a client's home while they are away, but am open to drop-ins. I try and follow a furry friend's routine as closely as possible and if I can't on a day, I make sure that they always get enough potty breaks and adjust walks accordingly. I do tend to take the longest walks in the AM (30-45 min) + before bed (30-1 hr) with shorter 15-30 min "potty" walks during the day . I take into account their needs (feeding/medication/b&b evacuation times) & normal excursion times and my schedule and plan the week out in advance. Written instructions help me with daily tasks or pet personality quirks if they are more set in their ways. I'm happy to water plants, gather mail, take out trash and am comfortable communicating with vendors (repair, pest control etc) if they need to visit when you are away. I treat the home better than I treat my own and aim to maintain (or exceed) the level of cleanliness that existed when I arrived. I'm not shy when it comes to vacuuming, laundering linens & pet bedding as needed while I am staying.

Sage is a repeat care provider for our dog. She is thoughtful, caring, and loved by our pup! Sage went above and beyond when caring for our pup for the last 2 weeks. She was very communicative with in-depth daily updates and pictures which made us feel comfortable during our trip away. She even cleaned our home to make our return comfortable which was beyond what was expected. We greatly appreciate Sage!!

Brooke updated us daily with an informative message and pics that made it clear Valentina was not only being taken care of but also living her best life! And Brooke was the perfect house guest as well. I am so grateful we found her and hope she is able to watch Valentina for all our future travels.

Martilia stayed with my dog Bailey over the weekend and did an incredible job. She stayed with Bailey a lot of the time inside, hung out with her, let her out to use the bathroom regularly, kept to her feeding schedule and gave her medicine. She appeared to actually enjoy hanging out with Bailey and sent me pictures of her hanging out with her in the living room and let her hang out with her in her bedroom . I really appreciated the extra care given to my senior dog who likes the attention and care! I would definitely utilize her again and recommend her to others. She also left the spare room in excellent condition and even did the sheets and made the bed before she left, which was totally unnecessary but very helpful and kind.
