“Sam was an incredible puppy sitter. This is our first puppy so I am overly cautious with her. Within the first thirty minutes of us leaving, sam sent us a plethora of photos and updates, leaving my heart at ease. She updated us very frequently with updates and cutesy photos of our girl. She let us know her overall report when we came home, and watched her to make sure she has no separation anxiety with us. It was such a relief to have her, and I will absolutely be using sam again.”
“Haley is AMAZING. She just stayed at our place and watched our 6 month old pup for a week while we were gone on vacation. Our puppy is super active and Haley was phenomenal with her. She communicated so well with us, gave us updates and kept Maisie on her routine. When we got home, Maisie was so happy and we could tell she was loved while we were gone. We will definitely use Haley again and recommend you hire her too!”
“Nexsy was incredible. She helped on short notice and still snuck in a meet and greet. Polite, kind, and very understanding of our dogs. She went above and beyond during the time she spent with them by doing some helpful behavioral training. We felt they were in safe and capable hands. Highly recommended!”
“I used Adara for an overnight stay with my 2 pups. I came home to a clean house and happy pups! Good communication while I was away and lots of pictures. Will definitely use her again!”
“Ace is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!! Ace is so caring, compassionate, and dedicated to the happiness of her Adopted Fur Babies.... Which funnels through to the Fur Babies Momma. Ace is in constant communication and asks questions to assist with the Fur Babies happiness. We looked forward to all the pictures that Ace sent us. We could tell from these pictures that our Fur Babies were well taken care of and happy. Ace follows the plan of care so well, of course, Clyde and Bella are there to assist. lol Ace was so respectful of our home and left it in the same neatness as upon arrival. If I could, I would give ACE 10 stars!!!!! 🐾🐾💕”
“Thank you for communicating with me throughout your stay. I’m really glad to have feedback on how my dog is doing and what additional support I need to give him. I really look forward to you sitting with him again.”
“Nina was communicative and reliable. She kept me updated with information and photos, and I know our kitty absolutely adored his time with her! Definitely would trust her to house/cat sit again!”
“Julissa watched our three dogs today and did a fantastic job! All three of our dogs have severe anxiety and separation issues, but as soon as we left the house we received pictures and all three had settled right down and were very comfortable with Julissa. These three are very hard to handle at times and require someone with just the right personality and patience to handle them. We will definitely be contacting her next time we need a sitter.”
“Kaitlynn was amazing! My dogs have special needs and their care instructions are very specific. She kept their routine and did perfect! She gave my dogs much love and attention. She is the only sitter I would trust with my dogs. After I got back home, I asked one of my dogs (she uses button communication) if Kaitlynn was nice and she said yes! 🐾”
“Kay stayed with our three pups on very short notice. I’m so grateful we found him. Kay was great with communication, we came home to happy pups and a clean home. We highly recommend Kay.”
About: What makes me different is my personalized, compassionate approach to every pet I care for. I treat each animal like they’re my own—paying close attention to their needs, routines, and personalities. I currently work full-time but I would love to have another job on the weekends. I have a lot of time on weekends to spare and would love to help families with their animal. I have taken care of my finance families dog whenever they need me. I enjoy walking my animals around. I treat all animals like they are my own.
About: I have experience taking care of big and small dogs, shy and friendly cats, as well as aquatic life like salt water fish and turtles. I work from home full time so I am more than available to bring my work with me to house sit on occasion as well as use my lunch breaks to take your dog on a walk. I am good at following directions no matter how bizarre it may be. The safety of your pet especially in their own home is my top priority.
About: I’ve been a pet owner for life and I’ve cared for a variety of different pets! Over the years I have done many different tasks such as feed, bathe and walk pets. I love getting to know different animals and their personalities! I am available daily for walk and visits. I can work to tailor care to your animals needs depending on when I would be needed! Depending on your service, every visit will include a let out and playtime. I am willing to play fetch or just hangout with your animal!
About: I’ve had animals (cats and dogs) for as far back as I can remember. I currently have an Shorkie who is elderly (14 yrs old) and a young Aussiedoodle (3 years old). I’ve dealt with extreme health issues, administrating medications, active dogs etc. I love all dogs as if my own and would love to ensure you feel safe leaving your baby with me while away! I was recently laid off from my corporate position and am now home throughout the day with my new-ish born and a toddler who will be starting preschool this fall. We have two dogs in our home currently, and just like children, after you add a second one you can tackle it all. So the more the merrier! I have a large fenced in yard and two dogs that can keep your dog occupied. I can also work with you on safety measures you need me to take to ensure you and your dog feel safe!
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a shih tzu and now have two rescue dogs, a labhound (less pictures of him, he has anxiety and does not like photos) and a mastador. I also have experience fostering dogs and previous dog-sitting experience within my community. I currently work a part-time job so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets throughout the week. My shifts normally range from 4-5 hours and i’m free before and after. As an in-house sitter pet care can resume as it normally would, any usual routines or pet needs can and will be handled while you’re away.

Adam P.
“I’ve entrusted Adam with the care of my dog for several months now, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Whether it’s daily walks or overnight sitting, they consistently go above and beyond to ensure my dog is happy, safe, and well-cared for. Communication is excellent, and I always receive timely updates and photos, which gives me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Adam P. to any pet owner looking for trustworthy and high-quality care. Allyson Mackler”
Eryn P.
“Eryn is basically my cats’ favorite human — and I’m just the lady who pays the rent. Every time I go on vacation, she steps in like the cat whisperer she is. Not only does she feed my two little maniacs, but she actually hangs out with them, plays with them, and showers them with love. They’re obsessed with her… and honestly, same.”

Alissa P.
“Alissa is a thoughtful dependable pet sitter. I know my dogs are in great hands and she adjusts her approach between my active dog and my older dog which is wonderful.”
Abigail C.
“Abigail is a very kind and conscientious person. She loves animals, and would take great care of them. Her own dog went thru a long health issue in which she took a lot of time and money to bring her dog back to health even when the veterinarian was not sure he would live. She has watched my dogs and I knew they were in good hands. I knew that I would come home and find everything fine.”
Janaya W.
“Janaya watched my dog while my family was on vacation, my dog has severe anxiety and normally takes a long time to warm up to strangers. From day one she loved Janaya, she was more sad to see her go than she was excited for us to be back. Amazing sitter and she will continue to be the first person I go to.”
