“Travis is amazing! He cared for Riley this weekend and did a great job! Came home to a happy dog. He is dependable, on time and truly has a special connection to dogs. Highly recommend!”

“We really appreciated Jenna accepting our short notice request for her to “house sit” our dog Simon for 3 days and nights. She reported no particular problems nor concerns. Jenna related that Simon did fine and she sent us a couple of photos and stated in communication when we checked in. It was nice to see the house just like we left it too ! We were happy with Jenna and would use her again !”

“This was the first time that Olivia stayed with my 2 dogs. I can tell that they were very well cared for and that she was patient with them. I loved the pictures and frequent updates. I will definitely have Olivia care for my dogs again.”

About: I’ve been volunteering and caring for cats and dogs since I was eleven years old. I am knowledgable in pet CPR and first aid. I’ve had pets of my own my entire life, including 3 dogs, 4 cats, as well as chickens. I’ve cared for large and small dogs as well as cats. I am experienced in administering medicine to both cats and dogs. I’ve cared for everything from young kittens to elderly dogs. I have multiple long-time returning clients currently. I’m currently a student and have a part time job, so I have mostly evening and weekend availability during the school year. In the summer I usually work in the afternoon into the evenings, so I’m available mornings, after 7-8 in the evening, and most afternoons. I am available to stay over if desired most weekends and weekdays in the summer. My mother also works as my backup when my schedule gets hairy or in emergencies so your pets will always have someone to ensure their wellbeing! I am comfortable letting dogs out in the yard or walking them on a leash depending on the pet and personal situation. I am not currently offering services in my own home.
“Stacy was great! She was on time for everything and met all their needs! My dogs loved her. Stacy is very pleasant and easy to talk to. I would recommend Stacy any time!”

“Teresa and Michael were outstanding. They helped out in a jam when our regular "sitter" became sick last minute. They took great care of the pup and communicated very well with us throughout the two days. Highly recommend and will definitely use again.”


“LOVE HER!!!! She did an amazing job! The house was in perfect shape when we got home and all pets were happy and wonderful. She sent photos of the dogs every day and clearly cuddles were no issues. We met before I booked and Becca is just a genuinely sweet and amazing soul. I was nervous to use the app for the first time but she put all concerns to rest. I will request Becca every time we need a house and dog sitter. She is extremely trustworthy and wonderful. THANK YOU BECCA!”


About: I have grown up with all sorts of dogs of all sizes. I have taken part in both training and caring for our family dogs, and there has not been a dog that I do not immediately love. Being with dogs is always entertaining and extremely rewarding. I am not currently working, and I have a lot of free time during my summer before my junior year of college. I am available at any time of day, and my schedule is very flexible until I start working in June. I am responsible for walking, feeding, and caring for our three dogs when my parents are working. It’s very common for me to spend time with my dogs in my down time such as playing with and accompanying them.
About: If your smaller non-shedding dog (up to 40 lbs) does not care for other pets, I'm your sitter! There are no other pets in my house, and I specialize in dogs who do not like other animals. I have owned and loved dogs my entire adult life. In retirement I've chosen not to own one, but I miss those little guys so much and would love to love on your precious pet. I am retired and can fully care for your smaller (up to 40#), potty-trained, non-shedding dog. On weekends in the summer I may talk to you about your friend joining me at my camper. I will provide care for your smaller non-shedding dog without other animals in my home. Perfect for those cuddlers who would rather not have competition for my attention!

About: I've had dogs my whole life. Currently, we have two cats, which is easier with our sports schedule, but I miss having a dog to walk. So, I thought I'd see if you needed help with yours. I'm working part-time and own a business. Both provide me flexibility to be there when your dog needs me. My kids are old enough for me to be gone for short stints. Prefer walking schedules during, morning, afternoon, or late evening as those provide me the best opportunity to give your pets the attention they deserve. Experience walking dogs with leash aggression. Can typically recognize it in your dog or the dogs we are approaching. Will always keep animals leashed in public.
“Jessica is wonderful. A week before she sat for our senior dog, our other senior dog passed so she was.amazingly understandung and kind to our boy, Louie who was lost without his lifelong pal. Jessica will be our.go to from this point on. Thanks soooo much, Jessica!!!”

About: Over the years, I've had the pleasure of taking care of many pets. It's been a lot of fun playing with them, feeding them, and making sure they're happy while their owners are away. Each pet has its own personality, and I've enjoyed getting to know them all. i’ve also had experience working with animals at the pet clinic currently i work part time, but with my days off and before work i make sure to take my 3 dogs on walks, and play outside, and provide company for them make sure pets have food, water, exercise, and playtime. I keep their living area clean and comfortable, and I give them love and attention to make them feel happy and safe.

“Emalia was so communicative the whole time. She consistently checked in and sent photos so I was never worried about him. She seems to care so much and I’m so grateful she was able to take such great care of my pup!”

About: I’ve been taking on pet care since I was 10. I’ve watched from all ages of dogs from puppies to the senior dogs. No dog too big and definitely never too small. I work a full time internship during the week. Finish on Fridays around 1:30, weekends are free for pet care that I can work around my own schedule. I usually care for pets in the owners home rather than my own just because I have a dog of my own so clients home would be preferred.
“Emma was great with our dog and cat! She's a great communicator and sent us lots of photos. Our dog, who can be very picky, immediately felt comfortable with her. Would definitely recommend Emma for your house sitting needs!”

“Stephanie did a wonderful job taking care of our Lily during our 10-day vacation. Stephanie fed Lily, played with her in the yard, and helped comfort her during a storm. She sent regular updates and pictures, and also helped us out by providing an extra day of care after our return flight was cancelled at the last minute. It was comforting to know that Lily was in such good hands. We would definitely use Stephanie again if the opportunity arises, and we highly recommend her!”
