“Vanessa did a great job with my dog! After not having a good pet sitting experience a couple years ago with someone else, this was much better and I was at ease. I was able to go out and do something without much worry. Thank you!”


“Becky did great with our highly reactive/protective Decker Rat Terriers. I was super anxious that all Cooper would do is freak out and bark at her for the entire four days we were gone and she was house sitting for us. He was all calmed down in a couple hours and was totally normal and sleeping with his head in her lap by the end of the first day. House was clean and she brought my very heavy UPS delivery up to the house, which I didn't expect at all. Highly recommend!”


“This was our first time using Rover, or having anyone that wasn’t family watch our 9 year old Lab. Theo did amazing!! Tons of walks, playing, and snuggling with him. 100% will be booking with Theo again!”


“Kirsten was great! She helped us out with really short notice, and was very flexible & accommodating. Cooper seemed to connect with her right away! We will definitely book her again!!”


“Alison was the most wonderful pet/ house sitter I have had. She took such great care of my dog and house for 12 days. She sent me pictures of my pup which was so appreciated. She even cleaned up her poops! Wow no one has ever done that.”


“Trinity is very conscientious.”


About: My wife and I are self employed and looking to make extra money caring for your fur babies! We both have 13+ years experience caring for pets and currently have 3 furry friends of our own. We chose to do this together to be able to help as many families as we can and give you the peace of mind you deserve while away. We are familiar with many different breeds and are comfortable with all sizes and ages. Whether you are in need of a house sitter or just a walker for a day, feel free to message us and we’d be more than happy to help you out! Hope to hear from you soon! We are both self employed so our schedule is flexible. We have the freedom to work around all pet care needs so your pet is priority. We do not offer pet care in our home, as we value the comfort of our elderly Bulldog. We offer care in your home and would follow all instructions you give us and treat your pets as we would our own.

“Madelyn was an excellent sitter for Frito! She was very communicative and shared pictures. Kept me updated on how she was doing throughout our trip. And the house was spotless when we got home. Will definitely hope to book her again!”


“Emrys was fantastic with my senior dog, Mal. He was a great communicator and always let me know what was going on with his schedule/key hand offs, asked questions when he needed, and sent timely updates every day. In the pictures he sent, I could see my dog getting happier and more at ease with him as the days went on. Emrys was courteous and cleanly and did a great job cleaning and changing the bed sheets for the sitter that arrived after him. My only tip for others is that Emrys does have an active life outside of his work and isn't the type of sitter that stays in every night with a book or a film. So, be upfront in your consultation if you have expectations for when you'd like him to be home for lights out. He's very respectful and communicative as long as he knows what you're wanting.”


About: With over a decade of experience as a trusted dog sitter, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, including those belonging to neighbors, friends, and coworkers. From goofy poodles (like my own) to energetic vizsla's, I've had the pleasure of nurturing a diverse range of breeds and personalities. My commitment to building strong relationships with both pets and their owners has led to countless referrals and repeat clients, solidifying my reputation as a go-to sitter in the area. As a super chill yet responsible sitter, I prioritize safety, communication to the owner, and fun-filled adventures for your beloved pet. With me, you can rest assured that your furry family member will receive top-notch care and plenty of love while you're away. I have a work schedule that gives me flexibility Thursdays and Fridays so I’m able to provide services for up to 4 days at a time :) I don’t have a pet friendly rental home so I prefer to care for pets at the clients home. This is what I’ve normally done for friends and family over the years. Plus pets seem more comfy in their own homes!

“Veronica came to my rescue after my original sitter cancelled as we were on the road driving out of state. She kept me informed and was able to give my loveable pups the attention and care they needed. Will definitely book with her again the future!!”


“Chunteva was great with our two pups, will use again and would recommend!”


“Sophia was fantastic! Took great care of my two senior dogs, made sure they got plenty of outdoor and cuddle time. Very communicative and kept me informed! Highly recommend!”


“Ashley took time to get to know my dog and was more than accommodating to my meet my schedule. She stayed at my place and cared for my pet with love and much care.”


“Mariah was punctual and reached out if she had any questions. She posted frequent picture of our pets and gave us status updates. We would absolutely book Mariah again.”


About: Approximately 18 years ago I saved 2 dogs from being euthanized that were living in cages in a landfill. Little did I know that it would set me on a path of wanting to rescue more. I started volunteering for several rescues and quickly discovered that it was my passion. I bought a home 7.5 years ago and since that time I have fostered 78 dogs, including 3 litters of large breed puppies. I would like to do some drop ins and boarding. I recently had to take a huge cut in pay, and I have decided to do this as a means to close the gap. I can care for dogs of all sizes, temperament, and ages. Special needs are not a problem. I work 2pm to 10pm, 4 days on and 2 days off. My place of employment is only a few minutes away from my house, so I can come home and check on them, during my lunchtime. I also have a close and very trustworthy friend that lives down the street that can do extra check ins, if I feel like your pet needs it. I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention that he/she requires. I will care for your pet in your home as instructed. In my home they will have their own personal space, no contact with any other dogs for safety reasons. I have a garage that is setup like a living room. I have secure kennels, if needed. There's also heat and air conditioning, as well as personal outside space via a doggie door. I have a huge yard and I live in a quiet residential neighborhood where I can take them for walks, if needed. I have a Great Pyrenees that is an escape artist, so my yard is very secure. The house/yard is surrounded by 4 webcams, as well as a webcam in the garage. Access can be provided to them while your pet is in my care. I also have a camper that I can spend overnight with your pet one on one, if they are struggling with being separated from you.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. I love walking, washing and caring for animals more than ever. It warms my heart to see them loved and happy. I am currently working a full time position but it is not an everyday job so I am hoping to fit some time in to do something I love well making some extra money on the side! With a place in my heart for animals comes with being alert to everyone and everything around when taking care of animals and pets. When walking animals I make sure to stay away from other pets or people if your pet is not comfortable with being around others. When grooming I make sure to be gentle and patient with the pet/pets. When staying in the home I make sure that they are well loved and get the attention and care they need.

“Gloria took care of my little man Jack for a week! Jack seemed to enjoy her company. She sent me multiple photos and videos of him while I was gone which was nice. Thanks Gloria!”


About: Pets are family! Taking care of them is one of the most rewarding experiences and provides unconditional love. I have been around numerous animals my entire life, and currently have 3 dogs! Daisy, Luka and Honey! I love being outside, walking, hiking and playing fetch on our 2.5 acre property. I always have time for pets! I work Monday-Friday but am available after 3pm or on weekends. I also offer boarding and there is always someone home for our fur babies! I have a fenced 2.5 acre property and 3 friendly, loving and playful dogs to keep your baby company! If you prefer, I can always place your dog in a large kennel or keep them separated from others. I am flexible and can meet most needs!

“Best experience ever! Frankie was super responsive, went way above and beyond with the care she provided for our kitties, and made our whole vacation so relaxing knowing they were safe and happy! She also did a great job taking care of our house and left it clean! We will definitely have her back next time! :)”

Brittany S.
“Brittany is my wife and has been my best friend for 16+ years! She has always had dogs ever since she was a kid. The second she turned 18 she got one of her own and after we got married we got another one! Brittany is always taking the dogs on walks, dog park trips, and keeping their brains stimulated by practicing commands at least once a week! I can also attest for 3-4 of her friends that request her to watch their dogs when they’re gone. Overall, she has a huge heart and there aren’t enough animals in the world to fill it!”

Plus, she has an amazing support system, and her love and dedication to the animals she cares for is clear in everything she does.”

Iris B.
“We had the absolute best experience having our friend Iris watch our dogs while we were away on vacation. From the moment we left, we knew our pups were in great hands. Iris was amazing with them—so loving, attentive, and patient. Honestly, we have a feeling they didn’t even want her to leave when we got back! It was such a relief to be able to truly relax on our trip, knowing our dogs were safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. Iris kept us updated and made sure their routines stayed consistent, which meant the world to us. She treated them like her own, and it showed. Coming home to two happy dogs (who might’ve been slightly disappointed to see us instead of her!) just confirmed how well they were cared for. We’re so grateful for Iris and wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love your pets like family.”
