About: Your pet will be treated like family in our home! As a lifelong dog lover and long time owner, I have years of hands.on experience caring for my own dogs, as well as pets of various breeds, energy levels, and temperaments for friends and family. With two friendly dogs of my own and an 8yr old daughter, our house is fully set up for a safe, active, and welcoming stay. Guest dogs enjoy daily backyard playtime, regular neighborhood walks, and cozy indoor downtime. I stick closely to your feeding and care routines and send daily photos so you can enjoy your time away worry-free. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I work full-time, but I have the flexibility to work from home when needed. My office is about an hour away, and I am able to leave and check in if necessary. On weekends, pets enjoy uninterrupted play, affection, and outdoor time. On weekdays, I provide a secure setup including doggy door access to a fenced yard and dedicated indoor rest spaces so your pup feels safe, active, and right at home. I provide loving, attentive pet care tailored to your dog’s unique routine in a safe, comfortable home environment. Whether visiting for daycare or in-home boarding, your pup will enjoy a healthy balance of exercise, engagement, and relaxation. My home features a fully fenced yard with optional doggy door access, as well as dedicated spaces for individual separation if quiet downtime or private feeding is needed. Daily activities include structured neighborhood walks, and outings to local park. Most importantly, I offer a calm setting filled with quality cuddle time and regular photo updates so you know your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Ashley was a wonderful sitter who sent a ton of photos and videos - we didn’t worry a single second because she was so communicative and responded right away! Ashley asked great questions about our pup, followed our instructions perfectly, and took excellent care of our baby. She was wonderful!”
“First time booking with the Yowells. We received daily updates on the dogs with pictures. Everything went great and we are very thankful (especially surprised they took our dogs for walks!). We will definitely be repeat customers in the future.”
“Melissa was great taking care of Hari, she sent updates and pictures everyday. I’ll definitely book with her next time. Also Pepperane is adorable and Hari was very comfortable around her. Thank you!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of family and friends for over 10 years. Just like humans dogs are all different I always like to check with the owner the expectations set in place while babysitting. I will also take lots of photos 🥰. I love to capture photos of furry friends I recently transitioned to evening shifts. If weather permits I take my dog to the doggie park every morning and would like more doggie friends to join. I have a fenced back yard and a camera. I also have my Minnie doxie that will keep company if needed. There’s a designated area for furry friends.
“Camilo is a great communicator! He didn't hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns. Very kind and trustworthy. Calli had a great time and came home ready to sleep it off. We will definitely book again for upcoming travels. Highly recommend!”
“Zariah was extremely communicative and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was taken care of properly. She sent pictures and updates. I will absolutely use her again.”
“Aseela was very professional and treated my dog very well while I was gone. He almost didn’t want to leave! I reallly appreciated the daily photos and updates. Would 100% recommend Aséela.”
“Lidia took great care of my two dogs! She is very communicative, sending photos and videos! This is the second time she has watched my dogs and will definitely be using her again!”
“It was a great experience all around. Yoanna was very nice and welcoming. She provided pictures and updates right away. Her dog and my dog got along very well. I highly recommend her for pet sitting”
“Denise was by far the best sitter I’ve had on this app. She didn’t have too many pets staying there like other sitters. She communicated everything clearly, promptly and let me know each day how buzz was doing. He seems to be depressed ever since he left so I know he was in great hands. I would definitely continue to book Denise if I need someone to look after Buzz.”
“Renee was wonderful! We booked with her for the first time on very short notice and she was great. Kept us updated all week with photos, and our dog had the best time! Will definitely rebook in the future! Thanks again!”

I cannot recommend Denise enough! She took incredible care of Chewy and truly went above and beyond. I loved receiving regular video updates of him while I was away. She took him on fun car adventures to keep him entertained and even gave him a bath so he was clean and pampered when I picked him up. She is fantastic, and I will absolutely book her again!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
