“Maggie is amazing she took such good care of our pets and they love her!! So nice to know someone who cares as much as we do about our pets!!”


About: I’ve owned and taken care of animals my entire life that include a wide variety of medical needs to reactivity from puppies to seniors. Willing to provide the best care to your fur baby with daily photo updates. I am currently back in school and work remotely so I’ll be able to be as hands on with your pet as needed throughout the day I will follow all instructions and comfortable administrating medications from injections to pills. I also have experience with reactive large breed dogs as well as high energy working dogs. You can expect a a daily update with pictures.

“Ashley is the best, she takes such good care of my boys, even if they are not behaving. She loves them like they are her own, she is one in a million so grateful for her.”


“Rebecca is great! My pups adore her. They are both on several medications and she is great at administering them. She also is quick to reply and sends pictures often. I trust her completely with my home and babies.”


“Justin was amazing! I’m so grateful he took such great care of my baby Nittany. She’s on multiple seizure medications, so I needed someone truly reliable to give them on time, and Justin absolutely delivered. He even kept a close eye on her sneaky ways of trying to avoid them (not surprised, lol)! I would 100% book with Justin again and recommend him to everyone on this app. Thank you, Justin!”


“April was very helpful and flexible for last minute trip planning. She was also very patient and understanding when I had some miscommunication and then some health issues. I can't thank her enough. Most importantly, she was very attentive to the fur babies and they seemed to like her a lot.”


“This is our second time having Ben stay with our pup. Just as with the previous time he was great: clear communication, accommodating, and our pup loves him!”


“Alana did a great job. My greyhounds can be intimidating at 90 and 120 lbs. but she handled them beautifully. No problems even with storms. She gave lots of updates. No problems staying at the house. Definitely will call her again!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I could remember growing up. And now more recently I’ve started watching family and friends animals as well while they’re gone on short trips I love visiting them and playing with them when I get there! Im currently working part time so I plenty of time to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. During the week is more better for me but I am flexible to do weekends sometimes as well! Since I have a full house I would prefer to come to you. I love to go for walks and play outside with my dogs or when I’m watching someone else’s and I make sure I keep them on the same feeding schedule.

About: There’s never been a time in my life without animals in the home! From a young age, I helped care for our dogs—feeding them (we even cooked their meals from scratch!), playing, and giving them lots of love. I have vivid memories of spending hours bonding with them as a child. Over the years, I’ve also helped friends and family care for their pets while they were away. I’ve looked after senior dogs and have experience giving medication when needed. My calm, nurturing nature helps animals feel safe and comfortable, whether they’re shy, playful, or in their golden years. I’m currently visiting home for the summer, I will be available until the 30th of July. My schedule is flexible as I’m not working right now. You know your pet better than anyone — you’re the boss! I’m happy to follow any instructions or stick to a strict routine to make sure your fur baby stays happy and comfortable. Please provide a strong description of your pets personality, as it will help me adapt quickly and build trust. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can see just how happy your baby is while you’re away!

“Nyska was amazing and easy to work with for our vacation. Our home was spotless, the plants were well cared for, mail was collected, and—most importantly—our puppies were showered with love. I truly appreciated her flexibility and the daily updates with pictures and videos. The dogs responded well to her right away. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


About: I have about 15 years experience with all sorts of animals ranging from big dogs to rodents, I provide walking an check-ins for dogs an cats. When going for walks just around the neighborhood I like to add just a little running to get those heartbeats pumping.

I'm flexible when it comes to schedules an am always willing to work with you so you an your pet get the best service provided.

About: Hello! I’ve had dogs and cats all my life with reptiles sprinkled in as I was on my own. I currently have a 1.5-2yr old beagle who loves his walks and meeting others if appropriate. I’ve cared for young, energetic fur babies all the way through end of life care and seniors who just need all the loves and cuddles. I can watch your friends and make sure they get out all day after 10am, as I work 2am to 10am. Then after I get off work, I can take them out again if necessary and hang out. I’m open to doing multiple days if you’re away, and can be flexible with how often I should be showing up. I take my own dog out every 3 hours or so when I’m home, and would do the same for your furry friend. I also make sure things are out of reach if their nose makes them vulnerable to getting into things like my pup.

About: Hiiii :) I’ve had animals the majority of my life. I’m mainly a stay at home mom, I’ve recently picked up a part time job which my fiance will help me when I’m away. We have a two year old daughter who absolutely adores animals. We have two kittens and two dogs. They are all loving and get along pretty well. We have a basement that offers a spacious area that is secluded for any special requests. We have plenty of toys to keep them entertained. Our fenced in yard offers plenty of time outdoors. Feel free to message me with any questions. I’m excited to meet your fur babies! Thanks for checking out my profile 😊 I’m available any time of the week to give all of the attention and care your fur babies need! Last minute? No problem! Don’t hesitate to reach out. We have a fenced in yard. All our animals are loving and do well with each other. We have a spacious home that can accommodate to any special requests.

About: I've never not known having a pet! My parents got my first dog 2 days after I was born, and just like in The Secret Life of Pets, we were inseparable! Since then, I have owned several types of species of animals, and ever since I became a dad, my love for animals has grown. All of our friends joke that we run a zoo at our house, but I absolutely love watching the bond between my kids and our pets. We currently have 2 dogs, 2 red-eared sliders, and a hamster. I have experience caring for puppies/kittens, elderly dogs/cats, pregnant dogs/cats, aggressive animals, and animals who need medication administered. I can't wait to love your pet(s) as my own! I'm currently a real estate agent / stay-at-home dad with a very flexible schedule and multiple available sitters with a short notice. Don't be afraid to book last minute! We absolutely believe in the safety for our pets as well as others' pets. My wife and I have been on both ends of the spectrum of having a very obedient, friendly dog, as well as being the owner of a dog that is triggered by unfamiliar faces in human and non-human form! No matter the needs, I will work to achieve them!

“Haley was really great and communicative with us! I could tell our pets were cared for and she took care our house while we were away. We will definitely be repeat clients for our next venture if she'll keep having us!”


“Abigail was an outstanding sitter! She was very conscientious and provided many regular updates. She walked my dogs and played with them! They had a great time! Abigail sent many pictures. A very responsible person! Highly recommend!!!”

About: I've had pets my whole life, being able to care for a variety of dog breeds/types. During my time at Wittenberg University, I fostered and cared for a service dog in training, raising the puppy from birth to trying to complete the program. This included grooming, cooperative care, daily care, socialization, and training. I also dogsat for others in the program regularly - providing weekly and overnight care which included grooming, feeding, walking, and socialization. I am currently unemployed, being able to provide care for your dog 24/7. Dog care is imbedded into my routine with my Golden Retriever - so adding a new furbaby will be second nature! I have a large backyard that will be getting fenced soon. We also have a friendly golden retriever who loves ALL dogs! We have a crate in our home that isn't used by our dog, so we are able to house overnight.
