“Erika did a nice job of handling Skip, who can be a handful. She was responsive to me when I reached out and sent pictures. The house was neat and tidy when I got home. I was grateful for her work and already have her scheduled for the end of the month.”


“Gabrielle was amazing! She took great care of our 3 nutty dogs for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. Great communication (she had to take 1 dog to ER even) and we did bot have to worry about our babies. The house was spotless when we returned. Highly recommend!”


“We had Kaylee watch our two dogs while we were on vacation for a week. The communication, pictures, and constant updates put our minds at ease. You could tell that our dogs were loved and cared for. Whether you are out for multiple days, or just a drop in visit, Kaylee is your girl!”


“You know you have a good sitter when you aren’t stressed about your pups while you are away from home. Ashley was great, checked in prior to stay to confirm details, sent updates with pics and kept us informed while we were away for the weekend. Having 2 senior dogs is no joke and Ashley handled them fantastically.”


“Jennifer was amazing with our old boy! She provided thorough and timely updates, I never had to wonder how Pugsley was doing and if he was behaving. We came home to a tidy home and a very happy dog! We can’t wait to have the opportunity to work with Jennifer again.”


“My 15 month old husky/German shepherd mix got along well with Aury. Aury took her for a couple of walks and kept her company while I was gone...my dog has severe separation anxiety but Aury handled her well. Would use her service again.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 9 years and have regularly volunteered with a local dog rescuer to foster dogs before they find their forever home. I have experience with dogs of all ages and look forward to caring for yours! I work from home most days and generally have the ability to move my schedule around if you need care multiple days in a row. I take frequent breaks for walks or play time with the dogs. I’ve got a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for your dog to run and play in. I’ve also got plenty of room in my house if a crate is needed. I’ll take care of your dog as if he or she was my own.

“Lauriel, Thank you so much for taking care of my furry babies this weekend! You have been the best puppy sitter I have gotten from this app! Thanks again, and we hope to see you soon! Alba”


“Nicole took amazing care of our dog and cat! She’s very communicative, easy to work with, and had no problem giving our kitty her medication. Would highly recommend for any pet needs and will definitely book her in the future!”


“THE BEST PET SITTER EVER! Polina is truly the kindest, most thoughtful person you could ever hope to care for your pets. She went above and beyond in every way—staying overnight just to make sure my kitten was safe and comfortable, and treating both of my cats with so much love and attention. I’m normally filled with anxiety when I’m away from my animals, but with Polina watching over them, I felt completely at ease. She kept me constantly updated with pictures and messages, which made all the difference. I could tell my cats were happy, calm, and so well cared for. Polina, thank you from the bottom of my heart—you are a gem, and I am so grateful for everything you did.”


“Ida has been my pet sitter on three separate occasions. She sends pictures and comments daily. I come home to well taken care of and content kitties. I would happily hire her again.”


“Ravi was a perfect sitter! He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures updates of the dogs. They seemed to enjoy his company also based on how cuddly they seemed in the photos 😁. He also cared for the house well and it was tidy when we returned. Our flight was delayed and he was flexible with the end time, something that I know no sitter can guarantee but it was so appreciated! We would absolutely use Ravi again!”


“Julia is a fantastic dog sitter and loves dogs!! She sent us pictures and updates on Murphy throughout the weekend. Murphy loves walks, attention and playtime and Julia made sure Murphy got it all !!!”


About: All fur babies are family!Hey there, pet lovers! I am all about fun and love when it comes to caring for your furry friends. From a young age, I have had an undeniable passion for animals, and it brings me so much joy to provide them with the care and attention they deserve. Starting at the age of 13, I began pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family, and it quickly became clear to me that spending time with animals is a passion of mine. Alongside this, I have also volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I discovered the importance of creating a positive and nurturing environment for our furry companions. I firmly believe that our pets are not just pets; they are cherished family members who bring us unconditional love and happiness. With this mindset, I am committed to treating your fur babies as if they were my own. Throughout my life, I have been fortunate to share my home with 5 large dogs and 2 cats. While I currently don't have any pets due to their passing, my experiences have given me a deep understanding of different breeds and their unique personalities. Whether your furry friend is small or large, I am confident in my ability to provide them with the care, attention, and playtime they need. I can rest assure you that your furry friends will be in good hands. I am dedicated to creating a safe and enjoyable environment for them, where they can thrive and feel loved. I currently work a 9-5 job Monday through Friday. When I am not working will be spending all of my time making sure your fur babies are being taken care of and shown much love! My pet-sitting services are solely offered in the client's home, drop-ins or walking. I will make sure to maintain a safe and happy environment for your pets. I am happy to follow through with your pet's daily routine and schedule. During my stay, I ensure your pet has fresh water and food, and plenty of exercise and playtime to keep them active and healthy. I will take the time to learn your pet's unique needs and behaviors, providing personalized care that promotes both their physical and emotional well-being.

“Ashley was awesome! Very attentive house sitting my kitty Simba and communicative as well. She also took great, funny and cute pictures of him while I was away and was gracious enough to bring up my packages. When I came back, Simba’s fur was soft and shiny indicating he was grooming himself (and happy!) I would absolutely hire her to watch Simba again!”

“Jenn was great with our 18 yr old Jack Russell Terrier. Because of his age he needed extra care. She kept in contact with us and when we got home everything was perfect and Buzzby was happy.”


“Anna stayed with my puppy who isn’t quite ready to stay home alone yet while we went out and did a great job. She is friendly, punctual, and receptive to all our puppy instructions including following his potty and nap schedule as well as working on training. From all them pics and videos she sent, it seems like my puppy had a lovely day with her!”

Heather did a great job dog sitting for Daniella. she was very patient and kept to her feeding schedule and also gave her so much extra care to make sure she felt secure and comfortable. she also took time to feed our outdoor cat even though that wasn’t requested. she also took great care of our house- bringing in packages and keeping everything tidy. I would highly recommend Heather and planning booking her for future vacations
