“Amanda is amazing!!! She sent pictures and videos of Boots while I was out of town! She took her for walks and spent quality time with her. We will definitely be using her again!!”


“Isabella is an amazing pet sitter and house sitter! I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who needs a kind, trustworthy person to care for your pet. Isabella stayed at our house for nine days and took amazing care of our dog while we were on vacation. The day before we left, Isabella came to our house to meet us and get familiar with our dog’s daily routine. She communicated with us every day and shared photos and updates about our little guy. She even took care of our trash and got our mail each day without being asked to do so! I am very grateful to Isabella and would absolutely ask her to sit for us again.”


“Amy communicated promptly and frequently. Maizie appeared very well taken care of and seemed very happy when we returned. Amy stayed at the house and it was just as we left it. We were very happy with her.”


“Jayce was a wonderful dog sitter. She was so communicative and responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. I highly recommend Jayce if you are looking for someone to watch your pups :)”


“Nancy watched by two dogs (and plants) while I was out of town for a few days. My dogs can be a challenge as one of them is sick and Nancy did an amazing job!! I came home to happy dogs and a clean home.”


About: I have taken care of a variety of different breeds of both cats and dogs! All ages ranging from a few months old to senior pups and cats! I have also had to administer medication and special attention to my own fur babies so I know the dedication and effort it takes to make sure all animals are well taken care of! I work full time from 7:30am-4pm, Monday through Friday! I have an hour lunch break to go home and check on pets and have all of my afternoons free to be available to give animals lots of love and care! I tend to spoil my fur babies! I make sure their water and food are fresh and in perfect moderation. My cat Remy has asthma and a heart condition so I am also very observant of animals and know what signs to look for if anything may be uncomfy or them! I am very familiar in giving liquid or pill medication if needed and have also used an inhaler for my cat frequently. For my healthy babies I make sure they get lots of love and attention every second I am with them!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for my friends and family for about 2 years! I also have two dogs and have always been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve been working at a doggy daycare for almost 2 years now, so I have plenty experience in pet care! I currently just work as a part time employee and part time student. I do get about a 1 to 2 hour break in-between shifts. I also am able to get up early in the mornings before heading to school and work. I don’t work Saturdays or Tuesdays, so those days I’m very flexible! I’m normally able to move my schedule around to try and be flexible, I just normally need 2 weeks in advance to fix that flexibility! I currently live in an apartment, but I walk my two dogs on my off days about every 2 hours. When I’m working I just take my dogs with me to work so they have plenty of run around room! I also use treat puzzles or squeaky toys to keep them entertained and going! I always enjoy taking pets out for rides in the car, I always ask first before taking any dog anywhere that isn’t mine. My older dog can be a little snappy, so I don’t bring him around any of the dogs I dog sit. My younger dog is very playful however and loves everyone! Shes always looking for another playmate. However I do always ask first before I ever bring her to meet other dogs or pets! I also believe in a lot of love and cuddles!! 💚 I will always make sure your pets are comfortable and safe and feel loved! When caring for others people’s pets I always ask upfront questions about what is okay and what is not. Every dog and pet is different and have completely different personalities. I will adhere to their comfortability and personality!

“Ariela kept our two dogs in our home while we traveled for a week. She kept me thoroughly updated on our dogs and house throughout the trip. She treated our dogs like her own and based on the pictures our dogs loved her, too! Highly recommend.”


About: NOW OFFERING A FREE BATH FOR FIRST TIME BOOKINGS! I worked at an exotic vet clinic for almost 2 years. I have a 4 year old boy. A 3 dogs and a cat. I have worked with multiple dogs as the same time for over 10 years. I am now grooming😁! I can't wait to play with your pups/critters!! ❤️ I work early mornings at a doggie daycare. Pets are taken outside in the mornings and fed if need to be before work (only two days a week) when I get home at noon everyone is let out again fed lunch if needed, then we have supervised play time. Everyone goes out again, then we rest. Dinner is served in the evenings and after we go out to potty again. (I am able to accommodate to younger pups or dogs with medical issues) I do have three friendly dogs and one kitty. All new pets are slowly introduced to my three dogs. One at a time. after everyone if aware of each other, then its time to play!

About: Animal lover with 10+ years’ experience. Former clinic caretaker, trusted by 5 families for pet and house sitting, including chickens! Proud dog mom of two. I work remotely, so I’m flexible for walks, feeding, and cuddles—happy to stay with your pets during the day while house sitting, just need wifi! I have a sweet Golden Irish (1.5 yrs) and gentle 12-year-old Husky. Both are friendly with a big fenced yard—perfect if yours needs a playmate!

About: I have lived with cats and dogs since I was young, and I have loved and cared for elderly pets, and pets with medically complex needs. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to spend time with your pet on various days and times, overnights, and weekends! I'm happy to meet you where you're at. I love playing with high energy pets and spending time with low energy pets. I am happy to brush your pet, clean litter boxes and any messes made, feed and otherwise provide for your furry family member.

About: I’ve cared for pets since I was a kid, from hermit crabs and fish to dogs of all ages and breeds. Currently, I love looking after a 9-year-old Great Dane/Great Pyrenees mix and a 16-year-old Terrier Schnauzer mix, plus my own cats. I enjoy walks, playtime, snuggles, and showering pets with the love and attention they deserve. I feel comfortable with most breeds, am highly attentive, and take all care instructions seriously, making sure every furry friend feels safe, happy, and cherished. I work Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with an hour lunch break, but caring for pets fits seamlessly into my routine. I can give love, attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles in the morning, during lunch, and after work, making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and cherished throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow all instructions carefully and stick to their routine. I provide meals, walks, playtime, and lots of snuggles, ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also make sure the pet’s veterinarian contact information is posted where I can quickly access it in case of an emergency, giving owners peace of mind while their pets are in my care.

About: 10 years experience in pet care - walking and house sitting. I grew up with German Shorthaired Pointers and am comfortable with active breeds. Also a former Peace Corps volunteer in Zambia where I helped my family take care of and rehome 2 litters of puppies. I am a graduate student with a car and flexible schedule. I’m very available during the week for pet care needs and weekends as well. I am very respectful of clients space and will treat your home better than I treat my own. I’m also conscientious of your pets routines and will follow them closely so they are as comfortable as possible.

“Cassandra was great! She was so good with our 3 American Mastiffs and they were so at ease with her from the start. My pups have anxiety around strangers but were much more comfortable with her from the initial meet & greet. Even our youngest Birdie let Cassandra pet her. She was respectful of our home and I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pets. Thanks Cassandra!”


“Amazing! Our experience with Jennifer was incredible. We can’t say enough great things about her! She scheduled a meet and greet and we knew right away she was a perfect fit. She is prompt, communicates effectively, and left our place perfectly tidy. Our dog, Lark, LOVED her! Lark is pretty easy going, but is dog reactive when walking outside on a leash. Jennifer took great care with her needs and needy traits! We highly recommend Jennifer. She’s responsible and such a special gal. We’ve already booked again.”
