“We have two very high energy dogs that are very needy. It’s hard for us to go away because they can be a lot for one person. Elizabeth made fast friends with them. She sent us pictures and updates throughout our whole trip. It was such a burden off of our shoulders to have someone provide such great care for our animals!”

“Karenna did an amazing job caring for our dog! She was super communicative, sending photos and asking about a few behavioral things to make sure everything was on track. She also checked in on a house issue (some ants had made their way inside) and was prepared to deal with it. I would highly recommend Karenna, and hope we get a chance to book her again sometime soon!”


About: I have been around dogs my entire life and understand the care, attention, and patience they need to stay happy and healthy. Through caring for my own dogs over the years, I have experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and recognizing when a dog may need extra attention or care. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to providing a safe, loving environment while your pet is in my care. I will treat your dog like one of my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. As a teacher on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's care. I enjoy being active and love taking dogs on long walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I will work to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and following each pet's individual needs and routines. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and, with owner permission, can take friendly and social dogs to local dog parks for additional exercise and enrichment. I will provide plenty of attention, affection, and updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you're away.
“Amy was wonderful to work with! She sent me plenty of updates on both of my pets and even stopped by on the last day to let my dog out one extra time. I’m so happy to have found a great sitter on the first try and I’ll definitely be rebooking!”

“Bito went above and beyond for the critters, ensuring they were cared for at all times. The crew really looks forward to their visits. Great communication and would wholeheartedly recommend!”

“Allison was amazing! this was my first time leaving my puppy alone and doing this app and she cleared all my worries. i got constant messages and videos/pictires!! i couldn’t recommend her enough!!!”


About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and reliability I bring to every pet and home I care for. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including having two dogs of my own in my family's home and caring for cats throughout the years, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I also have experience pet and house sitting for neighbors and family friends, caring for dogs, cats, and small mammals with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, walks, playtime routines, medications, and providing extra patience for shy, anxious, or senior pets. I understand that leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, so I always try to make both the pets and their owners feel comfortable and reassured. I make it a priority to send updates and photos and to treat every pet with the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own pets. In addition to caring for pets, I’m very responsible when it comes to house-sitting and keeping homes clean, secure, and well cared for while owners are away. I’m currently a college student home for the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know pets are most comfortable in familiar environments, so I make sure they receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific routines or preferences each pet may have. I also pay close attention to pets’ behavior and comfort levels to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Safety and trust are very important to me, so I always keep homes clean, secure, and respected while providing care. I’m also very communicative and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy and in good hands. Since I’m currently a college student home for the summer, I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and supervision throughout the day.
“Amanda was wonderful. Our stubborn chihuahua warmed up to her very quickly. She kept us up to date with regular photos. House was nice and orderly upon returning. Will definitely use Amanda again!”

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. From laid back seniors to high-energy pups who love to play. I take the time to get to know each dog's unique personality and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I am very available at the moment. I am currently home from college so I am able to do any type of sitting any day of the week, pretty much all day. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and meals according to their normal schedule. I also take the time to learn each pet's personality and needs, ensuring they get the level of care, companionship, and activity that is best for them.
“If you’re looking for a great pet/house sitter, Riley is your person. Riley took great care of my pup and fish, checked in daily with me, sent photos and provided daily walks each day. At the end of the stay, Riley summarized Toby’s week, including highlights and household things she did on a sheet of paper. Riley is very reliable and I’ll definitely book her again in the future.”

“Jeff was amazing!! Our dogs were so happy having him there for them (as were we)! He made sure they had plenty of love and attention, communicated regularly with us to let us know how they were doing and sent us pictures and videos of our boys. We highly recommend Jeff and will be requesting his services again when we have to leave!”

“Zana was wonderful. She communicated with me throughout with ease. She sent photos and was an excellent sitter with my pup and kitties. Highly recommend.”

“We just used Paul for the first time while we were in Europe for 10 days, and he was great! Our two dogs and our cat really liked him, and we came home to happy animals and a clean house. We really appreciate his help and are happy to have a house and pet sitter we can trust!”

“Josephine was reliable and responsive. She very clearly adores animals and this was like a vacation for my dog to walk and hang out with her overnight. Would definitely book again.”


About: I have been taking care of pets my whole life, as I have grown up playing with, walking, and attending to my own, neighbors, friends and family’s pets!
