“Daylin was such a great sitter for Finley while we were out of town. She was responsive, sent tons of photos and updates, and made sure our pup had plenty of playtime and exercise. We can’t recommend her enough!”

About: My first job was as a kennel attendant at a doggy daycare from 2017 to 2019. I’ve had pets my whole life, so I know a thing or two about animal care, and I gained even more hands-on experience working with dogs in a daycare setting. I currently do not own any pets, and the photos included are from my time working at the doggy daycare, except for the one with the brown lab, which is more recent. I’m looking for pet-sitting opportunities while I’m on vacation from school and staying at home without pets. I’ve had pets my whole life and also worked as a kennel attendant, so I’m comfortable and experienced with animal care. I have a fully fenced yard, and pets will always be supervised while outside. Inside, they’re welcome to roam freely in a safe, comfortable home. I have a cell phone, so I will be able to send photos and contact the pet owner at any time.
“Ben was really great with our two energetic doodles. He sent videos at least once a day and was patient and confident in handling our blind 2 year old pup. And our place looked great when we got home which we really appreciated. We will definitely have Ben back and highly recommend him to others looking for a reliable and experienced pet sitter.”


About: I currently have three family dogs. Hunter (the youngest but biggest baby), Rocky (the middle child), and Bella (oldest but most sophisticated). All of which require their own routine and specialities since two of them are on the older side. I also have my own pet, Peppa Pig (a guinea pig) who also requires her own little routine. As of right now, I am completely available to take care of your pets needs at any time! Monday-Sunday I available for home check ins and daily walks. I have a car, meaning I can cater to your pets needs at any time of day. Onboarding is currently not a service I offer, but I can ensure you reliability on my end to meet any of your needs.
“J stayed with my two Bengals while I was out of town and did a great job caring for them. She followed medication instructions, cleaned up a couple of pee incidents (which is unfortunately part of life with my cats), and reached out whenever she had questions instead of making assumptions. It was obvious she genuinely liked my cats and paid attention to how they were doing. I appreciated that she noticed one of my cats allergies while I was away and texted to ask how she could help medicate if needed. I came home to two well-cared-for cats and would happily book with her again. ❤️”

“Jehiny did a great job at watching our baby girl Boxer. She sent updates and pictures which made us really happy. Boxers are very active and she managed her well. She’s 7 months old and loves attention. Jehiny ensured to give us an update upon our arrival and you could tell our baby girl had a great time. She was wagging her tail and looked very comfortable.”


“Alexandrea took care of my two kitties while I was away for the weekend. It’s always so nerve wrecking when you let a stranger into your home, but Alexandrea made me and my kitties feel safe and comfortable. She was communicative and timely. Would rebook and recommend !”

“Stella took care of my German Shepherd overnight stays for 2 weeks. She was responsible, responded to my texts, contacted me everyday with a text and photo and asked questions to make Maximus feel more comfortable and have more variety with me gone. She even cleaned my floors! My home was left as it was and I would highly recommend her.”

“Zakiya was great and responsive from the initial request to being accommodating with my travel. I really appreciated her empathy towards pets and their behaviors. She was good with sending photos & updates daily and put together a daily log of food times, etc. Highly recommend!”

“We had Don watch our 3 year old dog for 3 nights and 4 days. He was absolutely the perfect sitter. He arrived at 5:30AM so we could have our dog be with him while we headed to the airport to relieve any anxiety and stayed until 7:00PM so we could get back not too late with our dog being alone. Don was very kind, sweet, and attentive towards our dog. He asked for a detailed item list for his stay, he sent us a ton of photos and videos without us having to always ask, and reached out to help clean up sheets, vacuum, take the trash out before his stay ended. You can tell he has a passion for dogs and truly enjoys spending time with them. I would highly recommend Don if you are looking to enjoy your vacation or time away and want to feel like you can trust someone to make your dog happy. We look forward to hiring him again next time we are out of town. He will be our first choice in sitters moving forward.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and cats of all temperaments. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and compassionate caring for your pets. I’ve also worked with animals in shelters and helped care for pets in my community. In addition, I’ve been working in the veterinary field for about 7 years, giving me hands-on experience with animal behavior, health, and overall care. Pet owners can feel confident knowing their animals will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me. I currently work full time, but I’m primarily available during evenings throughout the week. I also have morning availability on Saturdays, with full availability on Sundays and Mondays. I’m happy to work with pet owners to provide reliable and flexible care whenever possible. I provide care for pets in their owner’s home so they can remain comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific care preferences. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in reliable and experienced hands.
“Brenna was great! She watched my two big dogs at my house and did an awesome job. I received lots of updates and photos, and she was very patient with my dogs who didn’t want to go outside to potty during the recent rainstorms. My home was just as clean and tidy as when i left! I would definitely have her dog and house sit again. Thanks, Brenna!”

“Shalaja was fantastic caring for our pup, turtle, and house. We even got updates while we were out, which was super nice, as we missed them terribly. Will use her again!”

I’m energetic, reliable, and excited to provide your dog with fun walks, playtime, and attentive care!

Moriah is AMAZING. We’ve been wanting to go on overnight trips but haven’t since one of our little guys has quite an involved medical routine. We have been so worried we wouldn’t find anyone that would be patient or communicative enough to learn his ways. Moriah turned that thought around *completely* and went above and beyond! Moriah was so attentive to our boys’ routine, asked the right questions, gave us the best updates with pics, and honestly the boys fell even more in love with their buddy! We’re so grateful to Moriah for helping our family, so in Moriah we Trust! :)

Melissa is truly an exceptional babysitter who has a special way of caring for my beloved senior furry companion, Maxie. Her warmth, compassion, and attentive approach give me peace of mind, especially considering Maxie's medical needs. I genuinely appreciate the security and love she provides during her time with him. Without a doubt, I will be reaching out to her again for our next family vacation.
