“Jeffrey was amazing! He kept us posted constantly while we were out of town. It helped us give us a peace of mind and we will definitely be booking him again in the near future.”

“We had an emergency and Michael was great with all our clan. We have German Shep who recently had surgery so he had to watch him closely, and a totally eat the carpet crazy husky pup visiting for him to manage and he did great!! He followed instructions even setting timer to let puppy out at potty time to avoid accidents in the house! Kept them calm and under control. Gave them treats as promised and made me able to attend an event with total peace of mind. Would ? recommend him for dog sitting in your house and will use again!”

“Krista took such amazing care of our 130 lb dog while we were out of town. She didn’t just “watch” him, she truly loved on him, played with him, and treated him with so much kindness and attention. Coming home to a happy, relaxed, tail-wagging dog says everything about the care he received. She also watered our plants, kept us updated with lots of pictures, and went above and beyond by watercoloring a beautiful portrait of our dog as a parting gift. It was incredibly thoughtful and meaningful. Krista is dependable, caring, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with animals. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pets and home.”

“This was our first time having a stranger house sit for us and we were super nervous, but upon meeting Ellie we knew our pups were going to be in great hands! We were gone for about 3 days and Ellie sent us pictures and updates of the pups everyday. When we got back home we were so happy to see how well the pups and the house were taken care of. We are super happy with Ellie and will definitely be asking for her help in the future! Thank you Ellie!”


About: I’ve always had a dog in the house, and have always loved caring for cats! I have plenty of experience taking care of horses and chickens, and I’m no stranger to taking care of many pets at one time, for example, 3 large dogs, 3 cats and 3 horses at the same time! I have a super open availability this summer, with more than enough time for late nights, early mornings, and overnight work! I have reliable transportation and a super free schedule to care for furry friends! I live in a condo with two elderly chihuahuas (almost 15 years old!) named Glory and Hero, as well as a super loving mutt rescue named Mysti! I love going for long walks with Mysti, and taking my chihuahuas for nice short walks as they get older. Making sure Mysti gets the proper exercise and attention is super important as she is a medium sized dog in a condo, as well as accommodating my older dogs as they age.
“Emily is an amazing sitter!! She watched our 13 week old Golden Retriever puppy for 2.5 days and was so incredible with him. He can be a handful, but she is so patient and caring. Highly recommend her and we will be using her a lot more in the future!”

“I highly recommend Meghan! She did such a great job taking care of my dog and my home while I was away. The house was spotless when we returned and although my dog can be anxious, she warmed right up to Meghan during her stay. She was also very quick to respond and sent lots of updates!”

“Claire was a fantastic dog sitter! I felt confident when she came over for a meet & greet that all would be well. She communicated well in advance, was very flexible, and continued to communicate & share photos/videos while we were away. No doubt our dog felt fully comfortable with Claire staying with her, she got her walks and tons of attention. ☺️”

“Sara is amazing and took great care of our cat while we were on vacation. I usually feel a lot of anxiety when we leave for long periods of time, but her frequent updates and communication really put me at ease. She is very trustworthy and caring, and we will most definitely book her again in the future! :)”

“Zoe took such great care of our sweet dog and our house! We got 2x per day pictures or videos and Zoe was on top of everything. It was great to come home to a happy dog and clean house!”
“Isela was wonderful! You can tell right away that she has a perfect personality for animals. She made our dog so comfortable while we were away and provided us updates all throughout the day. We would absolutely recommend Isela for any dog sitting needs!”

“Zachary was amazing! He stayed with our animals for 3 nights and they absolutely loved him. He took amazing care and followed all instructions. Will absolutely be booking with him again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of my sweet dog Daisi from right when she came home five years ago, and when I got another best friend Ollie a few years later, I did the same. I love dogs more than anything and believe they should be cared for in the best way possible both when you’re home and away. At the moment I'm not working other than small jobs so I have plenty of free time to come to the owners house as much as needed for walks, check ins, or stays. In my home my 2 dogs get as many snuggles as possible along with walks and a lot of outside time for zoomies and naps in the sun. They like it better when they are with their humans, so I stay out there with them as well.
“One of the best sitters in the area! I’m so glad we chose Shane to care for our two dogs when we were on vacation in Europe. He sent us daily updates, left the house clean, and was paying a lot of attention to the details since my dogs require some extra care. Highly recommend!”

“Austin is the best pet sitter we have used to date. He was friendly and responsive. He took great care of our pup and even looked after some monarch butterflies we had hatching for our daughter in the backyard ;) He went over the top to clean up after himself and even throw in a load of laundry to clean the linens he had used. HIGHLY recommend! We will definitely use him again :)”

“Kimberly was fantastic. Super friendly and took great care of GoGo. She communicated well with pictures and all that one wishes for. Left home in great condition - super trustworthy. Will utilize her again, for sure!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of my own for over 10 years… I love being around dogs and cats. Family and friends can count on me when taking care of their pets! Animals makes me happy, they make my day ❤️ As of right now I have all the time and days available, since I’m only working from home as a reseller! So I am available 7 days a week at any time I live in a gated building, I live in a condo, and I have a balcony! I always walk my dog in front of the building and take them to the park that’s near the building
About: Hi! I'm Marty! I have been an animal lover my whole life. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets when they go on vacation or they are busy. I'd be honored to walk, play with, love, and/or sit for your furry family members when needed. I live in the area, and I am available when your fur babies need some extra attention, exercise, love, and care while you are away. I'm currently available full time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm open and available for boarding as well. I love being outdoors, and going on walks in nature. I also live in a beautiful complex that is pet friendly with lots of outdoor grassy nature areas, and a big park to walk to and play in just three blocks away from me. I can crate your pet too if needed.

We're giving Cassandra a well deserved 5 star rating! She took care of our elderly dog and house for a week and was wonderful from start to finish. She administered medications on schedule and went above and beyond by handling extras like daily household tasks. Her communication was excellent, with consistent updates and photos throughout our time away. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a compassionate and trustworthy sitter!

We left our 14 yo velcro dog with Sara for the weekend. He was clearly well loved while we were gone. We got regular updates & photos and he was obviously very happy. Our house was left clean as well. We'd definitely have Sara care for Sunny again. Thank you for making Sunny's weekend and paying the cheese tax multiple times!

Allie did a fantastic job watching my dog, Pup! He’s older and needs a lot of extra care (medications and anxiety) and he was doing great when I got back from my trip. I was across the country and felt very comfortable while I was away knowing my house and fur babies were taken care of. Allie also made sure the house was clean and tidy before leaving! I really appreciate all she did and trusted her being in my home.

Kristen is absolutely amazing and the exact person you want to care for your fur babies when you are away. From the initial meet and greet to the entire 3 night stay, she was responsive, caring and attentive to our pups unique needs. We will 100% use her again!!!
