Allison took great care of our dog! Junie has separation anxiety and takes medicine every morning and night, and it was so great to know she was in good hands with Allison. We got daily updates on how everything was going, and Allison was always quick to respond to texts. Our house was also in perfect condition when we got home, with all towels and dishes washed. It’s always such a relief to find a good pet sitter, and I’m so glad we found Allison!

Once again Dwayne took good care of my temperamental dog Jacques. He sent pictures and updates, stuck to our routine for walks, feeding, and medicine. I appreciate that he lets me know anything out of the ordinary, no matter how big or small. Thanks Dwayne!

Kristin is amazing! She sent photos and communicated the entire time on my trip. I never had to worry that my dog and cat weren’t receiving the best care. I could tell she treated girls and home like her own. I also came home to a spotless house - so thankful!

Emily was INCREDIBLE!! She provided multiple updates daily, including pics & videos, and even taught the dogs new tricks while we were gone!! She left our house so clean and tidy, and is overall very responsive, responsible, and communicative. It’s so nice to have someone you can trust with your fur babies.

About: 6+ years working in shelters, 3 years training animals to become adoptable, CPDT-KA through the council for professional dog trainers, certificate in animal behavior through University of Washington. I am currently working part time for myself, at most I would have to leave the house for 4-6 hours some days. I have plenty of time to take your pet to any of their favorite places or to play with them at your home! I do have some standing events on Thursday and Saturday nights where I would be away for longer periods of time, otherwise I am content to send my time with a laptop and internet connection and caring for your furry loved one! I have experience with all types of pets and situations, fenced yards, walks needed or crating specialists! Whatever your needs are, I can accommodate them!

About: I have been pet sitting my brother and friend’s pets over a two years now. Enjoy going on long walks with the dogs. I am sadly allergic to cats, if not I would gladly do cat sitting. I leave work early and am going on summer break and will have a lot of free time for pet sitting. I can also do afternoon sitting and dog walking. I change the water frequently. Have a strict schedule with the feeding and love to go for long walk every 2 hours. Love to play fetch and scratching.

Prepare to be blown away by the sheer awesomeness of Evelyn! Let me tell you, folks, she's not just your average pet sitter – she's a miracle worker! With a 12-year-old dog battling bladder cancer and in need of daily medication, Evelyn didn't just step up to the plate, she knocked it out of the park! I mean, seriously, Mazi didn't even realize I was gone – she was too busy being pampered by Evelyn's love and care. Five days with her felt like a canine spa vacation for her! And as for me, well, I was kept in the loop every step of the way. Evelyn's updates were like little rays of sunshine, melting away any worry I might have had. Evelyn isn't just good at what she does – she's the cream of the crop, the top of the line, the absolute best! Thanks to her, this anxious mama got to kick back and enjoy her vacation for the first time in what feels like forever. We hit the jackpot when we found Evelyn, and you better believe she's our go-to from now on! If you want peace of mind and top-notch care for your furry family members, look no further – Evelyn is where it's at!

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I began by fostering puppies with my sister, which taught me how to manage routines, training basics, and different personalities early on. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, including administering medications, following specific diets, and maintaining consistent schedules. I prioritize calm, attentive care and pay close attention to behavioral cues to ensure each dog feels safe and relaxed. I’ve also worked with dogs that need extra patience or structure, and I approach every situation with confidence, and compassion. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I’m committed to providing reliable care, regular updates, and a stable environment while you’re away. I have strong availability in the early mornings and again after work, as I usually finish my workday around 6–7 PM. This allows me to provide reliable morning care, evening check-ins, and overnight sitting while keeping pets on their normal routine. My roommate and I have a friendly small dog, Kobe, who loves making new furry friends. I’m committed to following your specific care routines. Whether that’s special medical needs or unique house rules. I prioritize safety and communication, ensuring your pet gets plenty of walks, playtime, and personalized attention so they feel right at home.

About: Hi! I’m a San Diego–based college student who has always loved being around animals. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, my goal is to make your pet feel relaxed, cared for, and at home while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow specific routines, administer basic medications, and respect each pet’s unique needs. I believe communication is key, so I always provide regular photo and video updates to give you peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and care for your furry family member! Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine as a college student. I plan my schedule around my classes, which allows me to be flexible with morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m able to provide consistent care for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, and I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention at the same times each day to keep their routine stable. I check my schedule weekly to ensure I can fully commit to each booking, and I prioritize clear communication and reliability so pets and owners can feel confident their care will never be rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I provide feeding and fresh water on schedule, clean litter boxes or cages as needed, and give plenty of attention and playtime tailored to each animal’s personality. I also monitor their behavior, energy levels, and health, noting any changes in appetite, mood, or habits. For pets that require medication, I administer it according to instructions and keep the owner updated. I treat each home and pet with respect, making sure the space stays clean and secure, and I provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident and reassured while they’re away.

JayLynne went above and beyond - coming out to meet me and the critters the week before her house sit, taking care of two chickens, in addition to the cat and the dog, and making sure that the cat didn't bring a mouse, he caught in the yard, into the house, and all with a kind and positive attitude. Thank you JayLynne.

I would give Jake 5 stars just for having to deal with me!!! I was so nervous about leaving my new puppy and my spoiled 3.5-year-old pug, but Jake reassured me every step of the way. He sent photos, followed all of my instructions (all four pages of them!) perfectly, and took such great care of my dogs. Our older pug even goes to the spare room now looking for him! I can't thank Jake enough and highly recommend him to everyone. Thanks, Jake!!! 🐾💕

I am so happy to have found Jaylynne to take care of my fur babies while I was on vacation! With each visit, she provided detailed updates and pictures. Jaylynne is extremely mindful, attentive, and genuinely cared for my pets as if they were her own. I was completely at ease while being away, knowing she would communicate so well after every visit. She made sure to play with the dogs and even spent dedicated 1:1 time with our cat, which was incredibly thoughtful. I am so grateful for her and will definitely be booking her again!

Ivana was AMAZING!!! the sweetest soul and so willing to help us out us out in a last minute minute ! My sweet girl had a lot of fun with her and was so excited to meet her from the get go. Guava had been feeing sick for a couple of days and seemed like her normal self once Ivana came around, I think she was the little boost of she needed to get better. But felt so relaxed and comforted leaving her in her hands while she wasn’t feeling the best. 10/10 recommend 💕🙈
