We have used dog sitters in 38 states over the past four years, and we have never had our dogs react to us like, “Oh, you’re back…” when we got home! Carrie came in the night before her scheduled arrival time to spend more time with them before we left very early the next morning, and except for a few quick trips over the three days, she never left them. She is impeccably clean, well-mannered, and loves animals. Obviously, she has our highest recommendation for anyone needing help with their fur babies.

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals and people—including work as a veterinary technician and a retired CNA/caregiver—I provide dependable, detail-oriented care you can trust. At Denney’s Den, dogs enjoy doggy Airbnb-style stays in my home- a calm, cozy, low-stress environment where they’re treated like family and given personalized attention while away from their hoomans. I also offer drop-in visits in your home, ensuring your pets receive consistent, compassionate care in the space they’re most comfortable. Since retiring from healthcare, caring for animals has become my full-time work. I am home most days, allowing me to provide hands-on attention, supervision, and a calm, structured routine for the pets in my care. My home offers a calm, safe environment with a large fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I intentionally limit the number of boarding dogs so each pet receives personalized attention. Crating is used only if preferred by the owner. For drop-in visits, I take great care to respect your home while ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine.

This was my first time using Iliana as a sitter for our pitbull, Jackson. I will definitely be booking her again. When we returned from vacation we had a happy dog, and a clean house. She was very attentive to Jackson, and sent several photos every day.

About: I have been around animals for the entirety of my life and have been raised to believe that they are family. I believe that animals come before myself. I think that my purpose as a human is to make their lives better! I am currently full time in school. My mornings Monday-Thursday are taken until 2pm. Other than that I am as free as you need me to be! I care for pets by following their routine, keeping them safe, fed, and happy, and giving them plenty of love and attention whether in my home or yours.

Pets will also have free range of the house and are allowed on the furniture and are welcome to sleep where they are comfortable. I can also come to your home to care for your pets if that is something that is more comfortable for the pet owner. I work from home and have a flexible schedule for the most part. Contact me with any questions. Thanks! I’m currently working part time and can make my Own schedule which allows me to be easily flexible for you and your precious fur baby I care for pets within their home and make sure they are visited frequently/cared for and feel comfortable while their humans are out of town

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years, starting with walking neighborhood dogs and growing into house sitting and boarding. I’ve also had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m experienced with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or sticking to their routine, I treat every pet like my own and give them plenty of attention and care! I’m a college student with mostly online coursework, so I have a flexible schedule and am home often. I also care for my two fur babies daily, so pet care is already a big part of my routine! I’m available most days, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I have two friendly dogs of my own and always make sure introductions are done safely and at a pace that’s comfortable for everyone. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I keep dogs active and engaged with regular walks around my neighborhood and supervised time outside. I always follow your instructions closely, stick to your pet’s routine, and provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!

About: When I was in college I went and got my dog on a whim. I didn’t need any training or help to take care of him I just immediately knew what needed to be done. He needed a safe home and that’s what I provide for him. I’m great with walking (especially large dogs) and love playing with them. I currently work real estate so I am usually on the go. When I am out of my house I don’t mind stopping by to check on animals even if it’s more than I need to check. I always think if I am out I might as well check on them. I will always be sure to get the animals out in a timely manner. I have 2 dogs of my own so I understand their need to get out on time and get fed on time.

We had an unexpected trip, at the last minute, and Paola was willing to shorten her own trip to come and take care of our pets. I really appreciate that. She sent pictures of playing with out high energy dog playing fetch, he was very tired when we got home so I believed they played a lot of ball!

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish during middle school and high school as well as during breaks during college. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their animals from as little as a weekend to as much as 2 weeks at a time. I am currently a student at Appalachian State University and have plenty of time in the morning, afternoon, and evening time frames to take care of animals. I do not currently have a pet-friendly residence, but I am capable of walking, feeding, and playing with animals at their homes and within their neighborhoods.

About: Hey y'all, I'm Tyanna and I'm an animal-friendly, kind-hearted pet lover/advocate who has always had a deep passion for animals. I am empathetic, nurturing, and sensitive to various needs, and I take pride in providing compassionate and attentive care to pets. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, especially while away. I have owned a variety of pets over the years, including snakes, cats, and dogs, which has given me experience with different temperaments, animal species, and care needs. I am also a lover of the outdoors and enjoy hiking, which makes me especially happy to provide dogs with needed exercise! I am a full-time student, and my time is fairly flexible. I'm willing to travel to dog sit and can stay in the pet’s home to help maintain their routine and provide stability while you are away. I am also available for daytime check-ins for pets while owners are at work, as well as dog walking to ensure pets get the exercise and attention they need. Because I am new, my level of clients on the app is currently low; however, I can provide client recommendations as needed! My schedule is fairly flexible, so please contact me for additional details. I like to keep my schedule based on how the owners daily routine is with their pet. I like to keep pets on their normal/consistent schedule and will work closely with the owners to prioritize the needs of their pets. Safety is key for me, so I require a meet and greets prior to finalizing the official reservation. This not only allows me to meet the owners and understand their needs, but it also allows me to get to know the pet and ensure we have a good connection.

Mara is amazing with our girls. We were nervous to leave them with a stranger at first however she made everything go so smoothly and bonded with them immediately! From posted pictures to us and giving details about her visits with them we quickly realized what a great pet sitter she is. I would highly recommend her. Thank you so much!
