“Jonathan is absolutely amazing. He took great care of my Khloe, whom I have enjoyed life with for a long time. He was very respectful of any needs and being in my home. I highly recommend and would love for him to take care of her again. Thank you Jonathan from Khloe and myself”


“Audrey has been house sitting/dog sitting for us for about a year now and she is excellent. She always goes above and beyond for our dogs and makes us feel they are in good hands. Our house is always spotless when we get home and she’s mindful of bringing in packages and watering our plants. Highly recommend Audrey and will continue to have her care for our dogs ❤️”


“Brandy provided excellent care for our golden retriever mix. Our dog becomes anxious when left alone, especially at night and our afternoon event included a dinner. We enjoyed a meet-and-greet session and Brandy’s calm demeanor won our dog and us over within a few minutes. We prepared notes and a timeline for reference and left the house feeling very confident our dog would receive loving care and attention. Brandy texted us photos and updates while we were away. All worked out seamlessly and we look forward to Brandy returning as occasions arise. Thank you for providing this service!”

About: Certified in Cat and Dog First Aid – American Red Cross Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for a wide range of pets including cats, dogs, lizards, and even rats. Whether your furry friend is young and playful or a senior in need of a little extra care, I’ve got you covered. I’ve cared for many medium to large dog breeds such as Labrador Retrievers, Boxers, Pit Bulls, Siberian and Alaskan Huskies, and Malamutes. I also have experience with smaller breeds like Dachshunds and various mixed breeds. I’m especially fond of senior dogs and am comfortable administering oral medications when needed. For cats, I’ve grown up with them in my own home as well as cared for friends and neighbors over the years. I currently share my home with two of my own, Ulysses and James 🐈 🐈⬛. Reliable, compassionate, and trained in pet first aid, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm also happy to help with simple household tasks like bringing in packages or taking out the trash. Just let me know what you need! 🕓 Schedule I have a fairly flexible work schedule. I do work a typical 9-5 but can pop in and out for short periods of time. Please message me and we can get you on my schedule ☺️ 💛 Care I think having a set routine for pets is very important, especially when you’re away. Ideally I would try to best emulate what schedule you have your pet on with walks and feeding schedule.

“Maria was amazing! She took great care of our three babies- and I know it can be a challenge with 2 senior dogs and a puppy with a lot of energy. She took them all on walks, played with and when we came home she had comforting dog music playing for them. She was very communicative, sent lots of pics of our buddies walking playing and sleeping. The house was immaculate when we returned. Highly recommend!”


“Great experience. Amanda is so nice and personable. My pugs took to her right away and were well taken care of. She was very communicative and sent pictures of our hooligans while we were away. Will definitely book again in the future.”


“Jamie did an amazing job of taking care of our home and our 3 pets - even the older guy with a rigid and inconvenient schedule. I appreciated Jamie checking in for regular updates and communicating with me as we coordinated travel times. Very grateful to return home to 3 happy and safe fur babies!”


“Tristan was very communicative during his stay w/ my pup. Sent pictures, took her on walks, and showed her all the love she asked for (she’s a stubborn husky). If there was anything he was unsure of he immediately messaged me to get clarification. Friendly and active, I will def be booking w/ him again.”


“Dori came out house to watch the boys yesterday. She was very communicative. She sent us pictures throughout the day. We had a nice meet and greet before she stayed with the boys. She was very accommodating when we had to change our plans. Dori is wonderful to work with. We would highly recommend her for your dog-sitting needs!”


About: I am an honest, hard worker who loves animals. I have spent the majority of my life working with animals as well as caring for them. I have 50 years experience pet sitting as well as 23 years experience as a dog groomer. I have the ability and confidence to care for your . I am punctual and dependable. I love my job! This is my job. I am open for days and nights. I do drop ins and overnights. Walks with medium and small dogs. Thanks for your time. I live in an apartment complex so I don’t pet sit at my home. I can come to your home where your pets feel more comfortable and at ease.

About: Experience with different sizes and breeds of dogs. Volunteer Therapy Dog Walker. Prior pet store employee before enlisting. Not skiddish of any other animals. Raised my eldest dog from 4months to now 10 years. Our zoo has six animals. They are all friends and hang out peacefully… or rambunctiously. They are well taken care of and can spare mom for other friends that need it thanks to Dad and Other roomates. I follow guidelines set by pet owners. I try to teach good habits and reward positive actions. Not all animals learn the same so tailor to each animals learning style but stay consistent in the Do’s and Dont’s.

“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog and elderly cat (who gets meds 2x/day!) with Michelle for 12 days. She is very responsible, has great attention to detail and is highly attentive to making sure all bases are covered. Additionally, and so important, she has a kind, loving and compassionate energy - I felt at ease leaving my furry children and home with her and was not disappointed!”


“Lilly was SO great! I have two dogs between 50 & 70lbs that are sweet, but both have their quorks.. my ‘mamma’s boy’ doodle usually will not go on walks with sitters, but he walked twice a day with Lilly! That means she was spending the time to be sweet with him and earn his trust, I was so happy to see him on walks & cuddling with her! She updated us & left the house looking great, I fully recommend Lilly! Thank you!”
