“Olivia took great care of our Sippi while we were out for the day. It took some time to find someone who we trusted to stay in our home while away and Olivia fit the bill. She is a very kind person and we will absolutely use her again. Thanks again Olivia!”

“Jenna, did a fantastic job. Took a huge weight off my mind. The dogs loved her and she even brought them to the hospital to visit. And when I got home, the place was spotless!!!! Thanks Jenna”


“Laila was awesome! I am VERY particular with who I would leave the care to for my Chesapeake Bay Retrievers... as all of us pet owners are. So often I pass on fun places to go because I don't want to kennel my dogs. I found Laila to be communicative to let me know how the dogs were doing; i.e. sending me pics and texts periodically. I came home to a neat house and exactly the way I left it and to happy content dogs. I honestly think the dogs missed her when they realized she was gone and "Mom" was home. I cannot recommend her enough... and I know that will probably increase her unavailability for me when I need her, but she gets a 5 star plus plus plus from me... and again I am super particular with who I let walk or watch my dogs. Thank you Laila!”


“Freda was great at communicating and sharing pictures of Frankie and best of all, Frankie loved hanging out with her. We hope to have Freda visit us again!”


“Gabriella was absolutely amazing with our two pups. Provides great updates and gave lots of cuddles. We will definitely be booking with her again when we have trips planned. Can’t thank her enough!”


“Rowan was a fantastic dog sitter. He was very friendly and accommodating and kept up really great communication. Our dog was very well cared for and we will absolutely be looking to hire him again.”


“Leah took great care of all the animals and the house while I was away. She kept me updated with pictures and videos. I never needed to worry and always had full confidence everyone was getting plenty of love and attention.”



About: I’ve had and been around dogs all my life, from free roaming farm dogs to the most spoiled Pomeranians. I’m the guy who has treats and a leash in his car just in case I see a loose dog running around or hear there’s one nearby. I’m the guy who will remember your dog’s name, but probably not yours. I’m the guy pet owners warn that their dog is anxious of people, only to watch their dog sense my immediate love for them. I work as a freelancer, so my availability is mostly wide open outside of some specific appointments and projects that will be noted in my profile. In your home, I will follow any patterns and schedules you request to maintain a consistent experience for your dog. I have three dogs in my home consisting of two puppies and one senior, so I will not be hosting any appointments here.

About: I provide animal sitting and walking. I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs my whole life! I’ve been the designated cat/dog sitter for family and friends for years, including overnight stays and hourly check-ins. Large or small I’ve done it all! I currently have a full time job working between 6-3pm every day. Most early mornings and later in the evenings I am free for check ins and walks! I have a large unfenced yard which will require a leash for larger dogs. I currently have two cats in the home who are comfortable with dogs and other cats.

About: Our experience includes dogs from small to extra large (our pug enjoyed 3 years with her 210 lb english mastiff cousin and now loves to play with her new cousin- a 4 month old Burnese Mountain Dog). We have experience growing up with a parent that trained therapy dogs, so have had a high level of comfort with pups of all kind from a young age. We have one adult that is currently home full time and will be able to meet all of your pups needs throughout the day. Our fenced in backyard provides ample space for running and for play. We love our daily (or multiple per day!) walks and bike rides. Our Mercy is an active girl in spurts, and can often be found chasing birds in the backyard or enjoying a stroll around the block! The other 80% of the time she is snoozing on the couch. She loves playing with other furry friends—let’s do a meet and greet to confirm compatibility! The backyard is completely enclosed with vinyl fencing and a locking gate. We are happy to work with each pet individually, whether that includes crating (or not), frequent potty breaks, or lots of activity

“Responsive and timely. We had last minute plans on Christmas and Maxwell took care of our new puppy so well! Thanks for a Christmas miracle!”


“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!!!”


“I have 2 small dogs. I was gone for a long weekend and had her come in 3-4 times a day to let the dogs out, feed them and play with them. Bri was great with the dogs. They liked her from the 1st time she came for a meet and greet. I will defiantly use her again”


“Morgan is awesome. I was really nervous about leaving my pups and having someone stay at my home. My pups are my kids and, like anyone, I'm always worried about them. Morgan was amazing. She was in continuous contact with me, sending me photos and texts to let me know what they were up to while I was gone. She was super easy to book, very inquisitive about what she needed to do and genuinely cares for animals. I will always use Morgan when she is available. The hard part about giving her a glowing review is now I have to compete for her time! Seriously though, she's awesome.”


About: If your smaller non-shedding dog (up to 40 lbs) does not like other pets, I'm your sitter! There are no other pets in the house, and I specialize in dogs who do not like other animals. 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 have had cats since I was born and my whole life have helped take care of them. My life passion is cats and I currently have two of my own. I have experience in administrating oral, topical and injectable medications and have experience with cats with many personalities. I am working full time, so my availability varies, but send me a message and see if I’m available! I’ll do my best to accommodate :) I am always respectful of other people's spaces and act as I would like others to act while they are in my home. I always treat animals with care and respect and do what I can to make sure that they are comfortable.

About: I’ve had dogs in my family ever since I was a kid! I always love going on hikes and being around them! I always have had experience with multiple dogs of all sizes! I work Monday through Friday 8-4:30 starting June 2nd! Depending on my weekend schedule I can do weekend walks or walks any day after 4:30. I am very aware with the dogs and make sure they are safe on walks! I will make sure they have fun along with getting good activity in!

“We are traveling outside the US for the first time ever and needed someone we could trust with our dogs. They are both high drive breeds who are very needy and affectionate! Amanda has been amazing with them and they are still getting the same loving care we give them when we are home. Thank you Amanda for making this trip possible!! We will be booking again when we need you.”

About: I have enjoyed animals from very young. Our family has had 2 dogs, birds, and fish in the last 20 years.

We have a large fenced in yard and lots of space inside the house to play too. Looking forward to hear from you! I'm currently working part-time (4 hour shifts).

The lady whom Im caring for said she is okay with bringing your dog to their home from 7-10 p.m. Please let me know if this is okay with you as well. The woman is elderly and enjoys dogs.

Cheyenne C.
“Cheyenne has a great love for cats. There have been many cats she met that would come up to her and let her pet them, when the owners would say that's unusual. She seems to be like a cat whisperer. She bonded with her soul cat at the age of 3! A bond that happened instantaneously within minutes of meeting each other. She seems to really understand cats and if she could, would save them all. Her dream is to have a cat cafe and a rescue for all the senior cats that are sitting in shelters.”
