“Took care of my babies just like I asked. Received plenty of photos. One of my dogs is more difficult due to her medication schedule and her personality but Rachel did an amazing job with her. Will book again in the future.”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog, Gidget, received! Hailey was so kind and prompt with communication, which really put me at ease. She sent the cutest photos that truly brightened my day and showed how happy and well taken care of my dog was. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and goes the extra mile. Highly recommend—will definitely book again!”


“There are not enough kind words in the world to describe Audry's care of my babies. She even noticed when one wasnt feeling well, stayed in constant communication with me, and even took him to the vet. Audry is one in a thousand and I will definitely book with her again. She was excellent with giving pills, cuddles, loves, and kept my house clean. I cannot thank her enough for all she did while I was away.”


“April has been amazing, this is my second time booking with her. The first time she visited my home to ensure she knew where everything was and to meet my very shy kitty Pepper.

“I booked Brittany during thanksgiving week for daily drop-in visits for my dog and cat. She kept me up to date with how they were doing (including adorable pictures of both) each visit. I knew from meeting Brittany for a walk through that they were in good hands. I would highly recommend Brittany if you’re looking for someone you can trust with your pets while you’re gone. I will definitely book Brittany again next time I go out of town!”

About: I worked at an animal shelter for a period of time, during which I also served at the Vice President for a year; I love animals and advocating and caring for them is a core value I hold close to my heart. I’ve dealt with animals in all sorts of situations and conditions, and believe that those experiences have given me a skillset to take in the hat ever your fur baby might throw at me! I am self-employed and work fully remotely, so I can be flexible to meet you and your pets needs. Working from home means I can also pick up more last minute requests when needed. My fur babies are my world, and I will treat yours with that same mindset. Having a new face in the home can be tough, but I am willing to take the time to build trust with your fur babies and makes them feel safe and at ease when their routine deviates.

About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for several years. My passion for animals drives me to provide the best care possible, ensuring that every pet feels loved and secure while their owners are away. I've cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs, giving me a well-rounded understanding of different needs and behaviors. As a pet owner myself, I genuinely love pets and I am commitment to their well-being. I prioritize creating a nurturing environment where each dog feels comfortable and happy. My experience includes not only regular walks and playtime but also special skills such as: Training Basics: I have successfully taught puppies basic commands and good manners, helping them become well-behaved companions. Senior Care: I am attentive to the needs of older dogs, offering gentle walks and medication administration if required, ensuring they receive the care they need. Flexible Scheduling: I understand the unpredictability of pet care needs, so I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate last-minute requests. With my extensive experience and caring approach, I guarantee that your furry family member will receive the love, attention, and exercise they deserve while you’re away! My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time to ensure your furry friends receive the attention and exercise they need. I start each day with morning walks, giving dogs a refreshing start. Throughout the day, I accommodate various walking schedules, ensuring every dog has time to explore, play, and socialize. I recommend morning and evening walks during hot summer days, as pups' paws can be sensitive. I'm also open to backyard playtime or finding cool spots for their comfort. With my availability, I can easily adjust to last-minute requests, whether it's a quick potty break or a longer adventure. Your dog will receive personalized care, making them feel loved and happy while you're away! I prioritize safety and comfort for pets in clients' homes. I create a secure environment by removing hazards and ensuring proper supervision during playtime. I follow each pet's routine and preferences, providing a familiar atmosphere. Regular check-ins and lots of love ensure pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away!

“We have used Rachel’s services a few times this year and would gladly do so again. She is thorough, reliable, and extremely sweet! We appreciate you so much Rachel! Thank you!”


“Laura was absolutely awesome for the two weeks she did drop in visits. My dog Billie loved her and always seems very content and happy after her walks. I will definitely be booking with her in the future and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a good reliable dog watcher.”


About: I grew up in a home with two medium-sized dogs, Levi and Lizzy, who are just now starting to enter their senior years! I have taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes in both an overnight and check-in environment. I am comfortable administering medicine orally to animals and have no problem cleaning up accidents. I am currently a student in my last semester of undergrad and will begin school for my Doctorate in Physical Therapy in the summer! Mondays are my busiest days with classes, but I am available after 1 pm every day after that! I do not currently have any other job commitments, so I am available on the weekends as well. Though I have experience with overnight visits, I am most comfortable with drop-ins at your home. I can drop in for feedings, bathroom breaks, walks, changing litter boxes, and playtime! I can assure you that I will respect your home and your pets while ensuring that everyone's needs are met.

About: Hi! I am here simply because I love dogs, and I wanted to earn some money for my school expenses. My first experience with dogs was when I first came back to the US, and my family had a lovely chihuahua named Olga. She was sweet, kind, patient and calm, she was already perfect, so I never really got any experience with handling, or dealing with naughty dogs. There was another do, Ginger, and she’s total goofball, our source of laughter. The years living with them made me realize how much I loved dogs, and how much I needed them in my life. A few years after I got my first puppy, a GSD (DDR) named Leona, I got her when she was 8 weeks old, and we lived together until she was 2. Although she was a handful for a first time dog owner, I loved her wholeheartedly and trained her to do many tricks, and she has become more mature and calm through the training. Unfortunately, we had to send her to a new home due to we were moving, and the new house didn’t allow pets. I really missed the days where I could just go to a dog and hug them, cuddle with them, and leave all my worries and sadness behind. I love all kinds of dogs. Everytime I see a dog on the street, I get excited and can’t help but smile. I’ve always wanted to be a dog sitter, ever since I could remember, but I never took the act. Now that I’m homeschooled, I have plenty of time on my schedule. Please consider me when you are in need for help taking care of your dog, and I will do my best to serve you!

Isabella C.
“For the past few months, Isabella has been nothing short of amazing as our pet sitter. From the very first visit, it was clear how deeply she cares for animals. Our dog & cat took to her immediately—something that doesn’t happen often—and it brought us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving, capable hands. Isabella is reliable, attentive, and goes above and beyond every time she visits. She doesn’t just meet their basic needs—she spends time playing with them, comforting them, and making sure they’re happy and relaxed. Her updates and photos are always a joy to receive, and they’ve made being away from home so much easier. What truly sets Isabella apart is the genuine connection she builds with the animals she cares for. It’s clear she treats them like her own, and that level of trust is priceless. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and dedicated pet sitter. Thank you, Isabella, for everything you do. You’ve become an important part of Milo and Otis’—and ours too.”
