“Beth was amazing! Showed up with super short notice and was extremely professional. She was kind and Moses loved her immediately, you could tell that she loves dogs and they love her back. She even walked him twice in a 3 hour dog sit. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie was great looking over my dog Grady. She came by the house prior to house sitting to talk through everything to ensure my pup has a great time while I’m gone ? I will definitely contact Stephanie again for house sitting/boarding.”
“Andrea did a great job watching my dog! Even through the snow storm, she kept my pup well cared for and entertained. She was also very communicative through the stay which I appreciate!”
About: I have had 7 cats over the past 15 years, including one that was blind. I currently have 3 cats that are all spoiled rotten. I have a lot of flexibility on the weekends and could check in multiple times during the day. Weekday evenings are best, normally 5pm and after. Since I have 3 cats, I would not be able to watch other pets in my home. I will happily travel to your home and spend time with your pet.
“Kimberly was fantastic! We loved receiving her updates and her previous Vet Tech experience made us feel like our kitties were truly in good hands. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Suzanne was great with my new puppy. She arrived on time and was here from 6 am - 4:00. She sent text and photos of my 13 week old puppy. She walked and played all day”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love being around them! From energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 💕🐕 I recently completed nursing school and currently have a very flexible schedule. I am available during weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays, and I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I love incorporating walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets into my routine. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I will always treat your pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine, providing a safe and loving environment, and paying close attention to their needs. Communication is important to me, so I’ll send regular updates and photos to help you feel connected while you’re away. 🫂🐾
“Rowan did a great job with the pup and the house dispite some crazy weather conditions. The dog was happy and the house was organized when I returned. She was great at communicating and sending updates when I was away.”
“Maggie is an incredible sitter! She has taken care of my dog, Nattie, on two separate trips of mine now and it is the most confident I’ve ever been that Nattie is safe, happy, and well looked after while I’m gone. Maggie sends me an update with pictures each day, along with any questions or concerns, and otherwise I can trust I don’t need to worry and enjoy my trip without stressing that something could be wrong. I love getting the pictures and hearing about how everything is going, and knowing Nattie is being given all the treats and walks and attention she needs and deserves. I would recommend Maggie to any dog mom looking for someone reliable and trustworthy!”
“Naika was incredible. Showed up with very short notice, had a great attitude and was so good with our dog. She is kind, professional, competent, and showed up on time. We will definitely hire her again and recommend her highly as well!”
“Erica was great with our pets! We have a lot and they’re easily overwhelming, but she handled them with such care and professionalism that I wasn’t worried for a moment. Great response time, good communication, and easy to get along with. 10/10 recommend!”
“Gabby is simply the best. She was amazing and flexible with the needs of our senior girl, Jersie. She sent picture updates throughout our trip and kept us in the loop of what was going on. We are so thankful for her compassion and are looking forward to booking with her again ❤️”
About: I have cared for animals almost my entire life having both cats and dogs in my family. I worked at a doggy daycare for a year so I have experience with most breeds and temperaments. I currently work at an elementary school and have availability in the evenings. I can house/pet sit during the week but would be away for about 8.5 hours during the day Monday through Thursday. I will be fully available for multiple visits a day or house/pet sitting on weekends and between June 1st and July 30th. At this time I am not caring for others’ animals in my home. While at a client’s home I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I will follow any feeding schedules given and ensure your pet has plenty of potty breaks.
About: I've had household pets my whole life and began to own and care for my own pets when I was around 10. I've loved and cared for fish, hamsters, and frogs over the years. Currently I care for a leopard gecko, a bearded dragon, and several hermit crabs, in addition to helping my family care for our dog and cat! I have experience pet-sitting guinea pigs and walking neighbors' dogs, and have also volunteered in an animal shelter for cats and small mammals where I cleaned cages, groomed, and socialized the animals. I'm a college student (majoring in bio!) who's home over the summer with a part-time job. My availability is variable but flexible, so please reach out with what dates and times you need a service and I'll respond quickly! When it comes taking care of / walking your pet(s), I'll adhere to your directions / all the information I'll receive from you before beginning the job, and remain communicative with you over the course the service.
“Lucas went above and beyond taking care of my dogs for a full week, on a last minute schedule. Do not hesitate to book, he will really make sure your babies are treated as his own.”
“Polina did an amazing job watching our dog Cuddles for a week. We received pictures and videos daily. We returned to a happy dog who loves Polina. Thank you so much Polina, you are amazing and we are looking forward to book you again, so does Cuddles 😊”

This was the 2nd time Christine has taken care of our pets and home. Everything was in place, dogs and cats happy and looking good. Christine is an excellent communicator and very prompt. We already have her booked for a 3rd time and once we finalize our plans, we will book her for a 4th time.
Nina was extremely flexible with our last trip. We had an emergency come up with our small business and had to delay our trip somewhat last minute a couple of days. She was understanding and even offered flexibility on the backend if we wanted to extend our trip (wish we had the days off to take her up on that). The dogs have always done well with her and we will continue to use her whenever she is available that we need.
Sara House Sat while my husband and I were out of town for the weekend and I would happily reach out to her again in the future! She took excellent care of our dog Lily and our cat Sam. She provided plenty of updates with pictures and left our home in great condition. Sara is reliable, trustworthy, and provides the best love/care for animals. Thank you!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
I am so grateful to have Aimee helping to take care of our puppies! Especially because they are young, Amy has to do a lot of work to take great care of them and she does just that! I felt like they were 100% taken care of while we were gone from them. Aimee is very communicative and I love the pictures. She is able to take for us. She was 100% dependable and I wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone!!
Donna was great with our two boys! She stayed the night with them at our house, spent a ton of time hanging out with them and walking them a few times a day. She was also very responsive when I would text her to check in. Thank you Donna! Our boys would love to see you in the future!
