“Travis is awesome. Anybody would be lucky to have him taking care of their pets. He was so friendly and sent lots of pictures and updates and I could tell my boys really liked him”



“Did a great job making my dogs comfortable. I have 2 big dogs and it was not a problem for Gabriel. Gabriel followed instructions, kept me updated, and went above & beyond. Will definitely book again!”


“I’m selective to say the least when finding care for our fur babies, especially now that our 12-yr old pup has various health issues. Our baby girl requires insulin shots x2/day and needs to relieve herself every couple of hours. Did I mention she’s not a fan of said shots and stubborn to boot? And this is where Tory comes in to ease every worry and the crazy guilt we had about leaving her. She was an utter rockstar; I couldn’t have put together a more perfect dog sitter from scratch. Tory followed their routine to a T, and she provided consistent updates and pics. Her communication and quick responses were superb, bar none. And while 100% not expected at all, she cleaned the bed sheets and towels making our return home even less stressful. I want to keep her on retainer 😂 In all seriousness, she was a blessing and just what the doctor ordered for us to have a relaxing vacation while knowing our girls were well taken care of. We can’t give Tory enough praise ♥️”



“Hello, this was my first time using this app Rover, was kind of skeptical about it but I choose Evelyn and she was great. Evelyn stayed over the spring break with Evie and she was awesome. No complaints at all and would use her again if needed. I would highly recommend Evelyn as a sitter. 🐾💕”


About: I grew up with dogs all my life, currently have 4 of my own. One outside dog; Remy (M) german shepherd. Three inside dogs ; Evie (F) jack russell, Princess (F) pomeranian & Maisy (F) yorkie. I have experience with any type of dogs , I don’t get intimidated and love to interact with them. I have no problem stopping by or even staying over and housesit as well, while i take care of your pet(s) . My family & friends love to reach out to me when they need someone to look after their dogs. I have patience and will treat your fur babies just like mine ! <3 If you have your pup on a set schedule feel free to let me know so i can work my way around it and make sure your pup is taken care of ! I am home all day as I take my college classes online which is at my own pace. I have a fenced backyard and a location where i can place my dog while i monitor your furbaby. My indoor dogs are super friendly and playful ! They know their limits on playing and i usually let them sniff eachother before i place your pup down to introduce them. If your pup gets anxious around other dogs i will keep them in my own personal room to roam around and make themselves comfortable.

About: Hi! I’ve lived and cared for dogs, cats, and ferrets all throughout my life. I have also worked at a pet resort and volunteered at a pet rescue where I gained experience in dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, reptiles, and birds. I have experience with giving medications, maintaining (mostly kitty) boundaries, and strict feeding schedules. I also currently have one pitbull (my stepson) and two young 1-year-old kitties (my children) bestowed to me by the Cat Distribution System! However, I have to say I’m partial to small dogs since I grew up with Shih Tzu mixes! I love them all. I schedule my life around theirs. Their whole world is me, so I prioritize their needs. I’ll do whatever they need me to do, one example being I have to now take my cats on their own walks (harness-trained) because they get jealous of their dog sibling. I always offer companionship and play if that’s what the pet’s body language is giving me, or I can just be a warming presence who just provides food and cleanup. I’ve worked with dogs who need 6 walks a day and cats who you need an oven mitt before serving food. I go based off them!

“Nicole was perfect again; this is my 9th time in using Nicole. My dogs are extremely comfortable with her each and every time. I use Nicole each and every week due to my work schedule and I never worry about my babies. Highly recommend....”


“Ashlyn did an amazing job watching over our pets and home including watering our plants. Our dog loves her. She is reliable and communicates well, and also sent frequent updates and photos. It gave our family peace of mind knowing she was taking care of things. She left our house tidy and we would be glad to have her back anytime.”


About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years, with hands-on experience in everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as cats, fish, and turtles. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, loved, and understood in my care. What sets me apart is my background in healthcare — I’ve spent 7 years working closely with people, which has sharpened my attention to detail, calm presence, and ability to provide thoughtful, patient care. I’m especially confident working with pets who need extra attention, such as senior animals or those with medical needs. Whether it’s playtime, a structured walk, or simply sitting with an anxious pup who needs comfort, I care for every fur baby like family. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and naturally incorporate into my weekly routine. Although I work full-time in a clinic, my schedule can vary based on client appointments, which gives me flexibility during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I use that time to care for pets, whether it’s walking dogs, checking in on cats, or providing companionship. Spending time with animals is something that keeps me grounded and brings me joy, so I always make room for it in my life. I’m dependable, communicative, and will only accept bookings I can fully commit to — your pet’s care and comfort are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort come first. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and boundaries so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure their pet sticks to their normal schedule from feeding and walking to playtime and rest. I always double-check doors, gates, and anything that could be a safety concern. If caring for pets in my own home, I make sure the space is clean, secure, and calm, with plenty of room to relax or play. I also send regular updates so pet parents feel confident and informed while they’re away. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy environment that feels just like home.


“Cheyanne was great. Our dog has separation anxiety and we needed a sitter last minute for Christmas. She stayed with Leaf all day and provided us with updates to ease our minds. When we returned Leaf was happy. Would definitely have Cheyanne care for Leaf again!”


About: I’ve had my own pets a chihuahua named Churro and my two cats Doughnut and Zola. I’ve cared for friends little stars and fostered my brothers dogs retriever and pitbull. Hi I am around most weekends for house sitting and check-ins, and during the week, I’m happy to help with walks and quick check-ins too! I love all my little stars and treat each one like family! I follow your instructions carefully to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m attentive to their routines, any special needs, and always give them plenty of affection and attention.

About: Howdy! I’ve had dogs all my life, I used to work full time at a doggie day care so I’ve picked up tips and tricks for various breeds along the way. I am able to provide care for senior dogs as well. I took training classes and emergency care courses while working. If you would like, I can provide 1 on 1 training with your pup while they stay with me. While your pet is under my care, I ensure that I am paying attention to their needs and to any instructions you give me. I have a dog of my own that loves to play! I also have two cats but they have their own room. Needless to say, all my pets are spoiled and so will yours while they are in my home. I look forward to hearing from you. I work full-time during the week, however, I am remote and can be available to care for your pet! I have a pup of my own so I know how to work with their needs. I have a backyard for playing and a friendly dog that will keep your dog company! If needed, I can separate and focus on your pet.

“The boys had a awesome time with Ana! She took very good care of them and even cleaned the house prior to leaving and brought in our mail. She also updated us with photos everyday while we were away and cuddled with them every night. Definitely recommend her service and plan to book her again.”


About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my reliable, gentle approach. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, including playful puppies and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and make sure they feel safe and loved. I currently work part-time and also spend time studying, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m often free during mornings, afternoons, and weekends, making it easy to accommodate pet care needs. I care for pets with love, patience, and attention to their routines. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and affection. I treat every pet like family and follow any specific instructions closely.

“Madison and her family were great! She was so excited to have my dogs come stay with her. My dogs loved her and the kids! They were exhausted when we got home! She sent me lots of cute pics of the pups! I will definitely be using Madison again!”

Finding someone who truly understands the quirks and needs of an English Bulldog isn’t easy but he exceeds every expectation. My dog requires ALOT. Matt handled it like a pro from day one. He took the time to learn my dog’s routines, personality and preferences. I never have to worry about her allergies or medications (and there is alot) when I leave her with him because I know he's on top of it. He always sends goofy photos and makes sure i'm updated, whether its just a daily dog walk or watching her for me while I am out of town, Matthew is the best.”
