“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”
“Lauren stayed with our dog while we were away for a few days. She is very nice, prompt, and professional. She sent pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. We came home to a happy dog. We got back later than we expected due to airline issues and she was very accommodating by staying until we got home. I highly recommend her.”
“Heather was wonderful to have stay with our girls while we were out of the country. One needs a bit more care now and we worried about leaving her. However, Heather had no problem providing them with everything they needed while we were away. She was great with communication and our house was just as we left it.”
“Bradley was the perfect pet sitter. He was communicative and responsive and treated my home with respect. He sent frequent updates and pictures of my cat. He even helped out when the cat went missing unexpectedly, offering to look for him and lending a cat carrier. I will be using Bradley again for sure and I recommend you use him for your pet needs too!”
“Michelle did a great job caring for our pup and home while we were away! She provided the perfect amount of updates. She was a trooper making sure Vera got enough exercise during a very rainy week. We will definitely ask Michelle to help us out again!”
“Shantalee was great! We reached out at the last minute and she was very understanding. She took great care of our 3 dogs and was very communicative. She kept them happy and comfortable. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Leo was a great house and cat sitter! He was attentive to all our specific needs and would update us with photos and comments daily on how are two cats were doing. We would recommend him to anyone that needs a cat / house sitter.”
“Natasha was awesome! We did a meet up beforehand and she asked a lot of questions and wanted to know about my dog Tazzy. I felt very comfortable with her staying for the weekend and I couldn't every tell she was there when I got back. She took great care of Taz and sent me pics and updates throughout the weekend. Highly recommend and will book with her again!!!”
About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.
“Linda was amazing and I would highly recommend her. Linda provided such comfort and care to our 14 year old pup, Timmy, who was just a few weeks removed from losing his 15 year old best friend, Scooter. When our flight home was canceled due to a snow storm, Linda was able to accomodate the change in plans and spend a few extra nights with him. Timmy is looking forward to spending more time with Linda in the future!”
“Sydney was just wonderful with my pup! She stayed the night with him and gave me great, detailed updates and videos… made sure he was well cared for and got plenty of attention while I was gone. I would not hesitate to hire her again,”
“Christina did a great job house sitting for us!! She took the time to ask and understand what our dog needed and what his daily routine was like. She is detailed in her updates throughout the stay and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip comfortable that she had everything under control. Highly recommend Christina for your pet sitting needs😃”
“Allie was wonderful! We had her do house sitting while away for a week. She was tidy in the house and so responsive to any communications. Dependable and trust worthy. She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!”
About: My first cat was way back in 1992 when a pregnant cat adopted me. She lived in the apartment next door with 4 other cats, a single Mom and 2 little girls. She would visit my apartment daily, also scoping me out, because she had future plans. Soon after I was the proud Human Step-Mom to Mama cat and her 5 kittens. That started my love for the feline species. I've always owned and loved dogs since my childhood. My first dog's name was Rusty, a smart and gorgeous Golden Retriever. I had tanks full of fish, multiple birds (Peanut could talk-he was a Green Cheek Conure), and often cared for my daughters ferret, Franklin, when she went on vacations. No pets are off limit ..... except snakes and spiders. Willing to administer meds. Currently I am doing pet care full time so I am available just about 24/7. I do have pets at home so I would need to take some time to attend to their needs during the day as well. I currently have both a dog and cat living with me so care outside of my home is preferable. I'm available almost all day and can stop in whenever necessary.
“Frankie and hit it off from the very first moment of the meet & greet, so I felt fine leaving Cinnie in her care. We received a bunch of photos and short videos so we didn't miss our girl while we were gone. And when I returned Cinnie was happy, the house looked just as I had left it, and I now have a new option to call upon the next time we will be out of town and I need coverage for Cinnie. Well done Frankie!”
About: I’ve cared for families pets (dogs and cats), whenever needed. This includes walks, over night stays, baths, feeding, medication distribution and potty breaks. I’m a recent kitten-mom, so I’m well-versed in this area. I’m a work from home employee (Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), so I’d love to spend time with your pet(s) during and after these hours. I enjoy going for long walks after work as well, so why do it alone! I follow all rules set by the client and will pick up all messes throughout my visit (from their pet). If their pet has a certain amount of times needed to be let out (at certain times), I follow that plan. This goes for all other orders!
“Kenedy was a super awesome sitter for our cat and dog while we were away for vacation! Very responsive, patient, and respectful of our home. Thank you so much!”
“Katrina is courteous, punctual and reliable. She was a great dog sitter and took great care of our sweet senior dog exactly according to our requests and sent updates and pictures regularly. We highly recommend her and will use her again whenever the need arises. Thank you, Katrina!”
About: I have no experience but my sister has been doing this for a while, and I help her when people bring the dogs over. so I have some experience if you think about it. I have a lot of animals in my house, so I'm pretty used to everything that has to do with animals. Also I'm home all the time after work, so I'm always available after that or even during that. I will care of your animal like it is my own, I love animals, they give me joy. i can work anything, i’m mostly free all the time. if u just need a dog walker or a sitter for a while i will be there to help you they have a fenced backyard, and they are trained off leash and are really really good with other people. i will give them all the attention

Allie was amazing!! I was in a serious emergency bind and needed someone right away and she was totally willing and understanding and went out of her way to help. She took amazing care of my kitty with special needs and always kept me updating and it super sweet and great to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough!! Thank you so much for everything Allie!

Ashley is always amazing with Lola, but this time she went above and beyond—she noticed Lola straining to pee on my first night away, which led to an evening trip to the emergency vet. She kept me informed and handled everything with intelligence and compassion. Not the way either of us planned my week away, but Ashley made sure Lola was expertly cared for.
Ozzy recently stayed at my home to take care of my two dogs, Finnegan and Fiona, and did a fantastic job. From the start, Ozzy was professional, responsive, and clearly attentive to my dogs’ needs. Ozzy followed all instructions closely and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, Finnegan and Fiona were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I absolutely recommend Ozzy to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and responsible sitter—and I’ll definitely book with Ozzy again for my dog care needs.
We were very satisfied with our pet sitters! They did a great job taking care of our four dogs and one cat. They stayed in our home, respected our space, and sent daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Everyone was happy and well cared for—highly recommend!
Another wonderful dog sitting experience with Madalyn! She is our go-to sitter whenever we are away. Madalyn stayed in our home with our senior gal, Zuzu, and sent lots of pictures throughout our vacation. She followed all of our instructions, and we came back to a neat and orderly house. It helps me to relax on vacation when I know that things are going great at home! Thank you again, Madalyn!
After watching our younger dog, Mara, a couple of times, we asked Charlotte to house sit with both of our dogs who each have some separation anxiety quirks. As always, she was prompt and very easy to communicate with before and during the stay and was happy to accommodate Wally and Mara's needs.
What can't I say great about Monica! She did a fantastic job with our two Frenchies while my husband and I were away for the week between Christmas and New Year's! We were worried about finding a pet sitter that would not only be available that week but also stay overnight for the week in our home, so it was so great when I came across Monica's profile. Monica responds to all messages very quickly. She came over our house for a visit before we left to meet the pups so they could all get to know each other. Monica sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the week on how they were doing. Teddy is 4 years old so pretty self sufficient but Gus is a very active 7 month still learning not to put everything in his mouth he finds and also learning to take the stairs in the house so he needed extra attention. Monica did great caring for them and all their little quirks. She was also very respectful of our home and everything looked great when she left. We will be definitely using Monica again. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
