Elvia did an incredible job house sitting for our dog and cat! I had such peace of mind while away because she was punctual, communicative and great with our pets. She followed all instructions and had no problem giving pills to our cat. We came home to happy animals and a clean home. We look forward to booking her again!

Emma did an amazing job taking care of our almost two year old pup. She clearly has a natural ability with animals and put my mind at ease from the moment we met her. She was great at absorbing and following our directions and was very communicative during our trip, sending lovely updates and photos. Our dog was clearly and well cared for throughout and we have already booked Emma for another getaway. Very happy to have found her!

Nicole was absolutely wonderful with Winston! She treated him with so much love and care; Winston had a fantastic time and I came home to a happy and relaxed pup, which says everything. It was such a relief to be away for the day knowing he was in such great hands. I'll definitely be booking with Nicole again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!

Amazing! Can’t thank you enough- above and beyond my expectations! I booked last minute labor weekend Vacation and Cinthia was able to not just accommodate the stay but also to come and meet and Greet. Justin has a very high Anxiety level without treating any Medication, An escape artist and very Suspicious.. It was great the way he clicked with Cinthia and felt comfortable she kept sending pictures and descriptions of the day. Highly recommended❤️?

Vladimir is the best! I was really anxious about leaving our dogs for the first time in a long time, but he is basically the dog whisperer. On first meeting, our dog Rocket, who is very nervous and avoids people, approached him in the first few minutes. We got daily photo updates and some nice professional shots at the end. They had a great time and I was completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Will definitely hire him again! THANK YOU!

This was our third trip with Nicole staying with our dog Buster, and we could not be happier with her! Buster is a sweet and friendly dog, but he has stomach problems and he also barks a lot. Nicole handles all of this beautifully. I can see on her photos that she has developed quite a relationship with Buster! He likes her and he is his crazy self with her! It is great to leave for a trip with such confidence in a pet sitter!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering medications, playtime, overnight care, crate training support, and maintaining regular routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality, whether that means high-energy exercise, extra patience with shy pets, or senior pet care. I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and providing updates with photos so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. I’m comfortable handling multiple pets at once and following specific care instructions, including dietary restrictions, medications, and exercise schedules. My goal is always to create a calm, loving, and safe environment for every pet I care for. With an open schedule, I'm able to give pets plenty of attention, consistent care, and flexible availability for last minute walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I treat all pets as cherished family members and provide attentive, experienced care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. My experience includes caring for senior pets, diabetic pets, and animals with special needs, ensuring they receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable support. I understand that your pets are treasured members of your family, and I care for them with the same patience, respect, and love I would give my own.

About: Had dogs all in my life since I was a child and took care of them through every stage of their lives. They were special additions to our active military family, fabulous, loyal companions and teachers adding an incredible richness to my life as I was able to add to theirs. Dogs help us and are special gifts from God. They are our assigned four-legged guardian angels helping us to unravel the mysteries of life and teaching us how to really love. I am semi-retired doing part-time swim instruction and have a sole proprietorship specializing in consulting for low-voltage Wifi, surveillance camera, access control installations, advanced fitness/longevity training and home improvement handyman projects along with hobbies in investment research and writing. I enjoy some gardening, plus doing updates on the house and vehicle maintenance. I have past US military training as a Master Fitness Trainer and corporate, as well as, small business IT/technical experience. I have a beautifully fenced in backyard that is regularly mown and maintained and semi-organically managed to keep it healthier for dogs than a typically perfectly manicured "Chemlawn." I still pull a lot of weeds by hand, but it's safer for my puppies, that way. They're well worth the effort. 😉Our family has a 7-stage reverse osmosis water system including a natural alkalyzing dispenser to assure great tasting safe drinkable water for all here in this homestead. I grew up in an active military medical family with various dogs from a Lhasa Apso, Shepherd mix, Terrier mix, Golden Retriever, Springers, Border Collie and a Rottweiler. I'm comfortable with many breeds and am a Cesar Millan fan. My wife and I both grew up with dogs throughout our lives and our little Morkie and Maltese are current regular priorities as our furry dog children. We experience much enjoyment daily as we care for our animal family and friends. Let's seize the day, "Carpe diem" and unpack the gift of every day that God so graciously grants to each one of us in this miracle on earth we experience, called life.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up around dogs and have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, especially senior pups who need a little extra love and support. I cared for my mini dachshund from childhood through her older years and have looked after many pets with medical conditions, so I’m confident giving medication, staying on top of routines, and tuning into what each pet needs. As a therapist, I bring a calm, loving, and attuned presence to every visit. I treat every pet with reliability, warmth, and lots of snuggles. Whether it’s playtime, a slow walk, or just company while you’re away, I’m here to care for your pet with heart. I work remotely and make my own schedule as a therapist, so I’m able to easily build pet care into my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, and check-ins. I’m used to structuring my schedule around care and consistency, so your pet would get reliable attention, supervision, and lots of affection throughout the week. I’m especially experienced with small dogs who are curious, clever, and love to squeeze into tight spaces, so I know firsthand how important it is to stay attentive. I make sure pets are always in my line of sight or that I know exactly where they are at all times. I also check in with clients about house rules, including which areas are pet-friendly or off-limits, and I work with them to create a safe, comfortable environment. Whether it’s keeping doors closed, watching for sneaky hiding spots, or just being extra mindful, I prioritize your pet’s safety and wellbeing like they’re my own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 and I love it. Having 2 dogs of my own I know what it’s like to find quality pet care so I like to provide families with the relief of knowing their four-legged baby is being well taken care of! Through my experiences, I’ve learned how to be attentive to dogs cries, whines, whimpers, etc. and body language which helps me make sure they get what they need. I’m currently a college student and am home for the summer. I work at the grocery store 3 days a week so during those hours I wouldn’t be at the house but other than that I will be there! I can’t leave during work but as my hours are short, it has not interfered with my ability to tend to the dogs! I work with each pet parent to make sure I have all the details of the pet’s schedule. In my home, pets are always viewed as members of our family. I believe that pets require the same love and attention that people do so that’s what I share with my clients as well!

Crystal does a fantastic job with my husky snow. He enjoys her company and her companionship. My little one biscuit is even warming up to her. The cat Jack likes to sit downstairs watching her read and talk to snow. She is been an added addition to our furry family. She is always my first choice to sit my furry children. She is provided education on my husky. She's very professional and dependable.

If you want to leave your dogs with someone and never worry at all about their mental well-being, their feeding needs, their exercise then you need to hire Jesse as your sitter. He's taken my care of my dogs for many days and I will say there is no better. Not only were my dogs, completely relaxed and happy, but my house was also immaculate and every instruction was followed to the tee, including the complicated medical things that one of my dog needs to have followed. Jesse is all around the best I've had!

We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left, she was incredibly communicative, sending multiple updates every day with pictures and videos that truly put our minds at ease. Shelby always looked so happy and comfortable, which meant everything to us. When we returned home, it was spotless. On top of that, when there was a possibility of a flight cancellation, she immediately offered to stay an extra day without hesitation. She is kind, responsible, and genuinely wonderful. We feel so lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional care for their home and pet. We look forward to her watching Shelby again.
