“Gregory was great with our two dogs. He was so communicative and our dogs were well taken care of the weekend we went away. We look forward to using him again.”

“Bria provided excellent overnight care for my two cats, Thelma and Louise, while I was at my sister’s wedding for 4 days. She was reliable and communicative, and I didn’t have to worry about them at all. My cats seemed comfortable with her, and I returned home to happy, well-cared-for pets. I won’t hesitate to hire Bria again when I need to go out of town.”


“Julie was amazing! She house sat with our fur babies for a week. We got lots of updates and pictures. She took our pooch for walks every day and gave everyone lots of love and cuddles. We will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Sondra was very caring and took great care of Misty. She was prompt and sent updates while we were out. I highly recommend and would ask for her again. She is great ?”


About: I have years of experience caring for and watching pets of family members. I love animals and animals love me! I am very precise and careful when it comes to animal care. I am available 7 days a week and have no problem spending ample amount of time to ensure your pet is not only cared for, but loved and happy. I am very energetic and outgoing and love to keep pets entertained. I can accommodate any needs while ensuring your pet has fun! I am also very organized, cleanly, and respectful of other peoples’ space. I am willing to go the extra mile: bringing in mail, washing sheets, watering plants, etc. to make your return from travel as relaxing as possible.

“Fandi was great! Sent lots of pictures and you can tell she really enjoyed caring for my two dogs”

“Matt took great care of our pup while we were on our honeymoon. Before we left Indy had a cut on his foot that required him to wear a bag on his foot and to be wiped with medicine after returning inside. Since this happened the day before we left we didn’t really have a chance to get him used to the process. Matt went above and beyond to care for Indys paw injury and kept us updated. We would highly recommend Matt!”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience with smaller breeds all the way up to giant breed dogs. I’ve been involved in rescue for the past 15 years and have a lot of experience with special needs pets of all kinds. I can administer medications, including injectable medications, and I work in veterinary medicine. I do this because of my love animals and it brings me joy for people to know that their pets are getting top-notch care when they are away. I know how important it is to be able to relax when you’re away and not have to worry about your pets. I have tons of references available up upon request as well :) I work at an animal hospital during the day (8-4) but am available to stay in your home, or to drop in visits before and after those hours. I pet sit for many people with very specific instructions for their babies and I follow them exactly as asked. I have lots of experience with special needs pets whose morning and evening routine takes a lot of time and I am more than happy to accommodate and make sure everything is exactly as requested. Experienced with caring for multiple pets as well.

“Sam and Pretzel took very good care of Lily. I was very appreciative of the communication while I was away. Lily looks forward to seeing them again!”


“Alex was great! He followed all directions for caring for our dog overnight. He kept in communication with my spouse and myself and sent some wonderful pictures of our happy pup! I highly recommend Alex for any overnight dog sitting needs.”


“Thank you Riley for watching Harper for a couple hours. I asked her last minute and she was available which was great. I would definitely recommend her and looking forward to having Riley take care of Harper again. Thanks so much!! 😊”


About: What sets me apart is how much I truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether I’m helping a puppy burn off energy or giving extra love and patience to a senior pup, I’m all about making them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I have experience with dogs of all ages, can give meds if needed, and I’m super reliable. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own—lots of belly rubs included! Pet care is something I build my week around because it’s one of my favorite things to do. I love starting my day with a dog walk or stopping by for some cat cuddles in the afternoon—it gives my day purpose (and way more smiles). I’m flexible with my schedule and make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need, whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. Taking care of animals just fits naturally into my everyday life. Whether I’m hanging out with your pet at your house or mine, I always make sure they feel safe, comfy, and cared for. I stick to their routine, give them lots of love and attention, and make sure everything is secure—doors locked, food and water fresh, and plenty of play or chill time depending on their vibe. I treat your home and your pet like they’re my own, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Since I was very young, I’ve had hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets, from laid-back seniors to energetic young ones. For the past year, I’ve been house-sitting and pet-sitting for family members while they were away, making sure their animals were safe, comfortable, and well-loved. I’ve personally cared for cats all my life and currently live with two—one is a grumpy old man who loves his quiet time, and the other is a lively, entitled kitten who keeps me on my toes. This mix has taught me patience, flexibility, and how to meet each pet’s unique emotional and physical needs. I love animals with all my heart and treat every one of them with deep respect and genuine care. Whether it's feeding, playing, cleaning up, or just keeping them company, I’m fully committed to giving animals the comfort and attention they deserve. I’m available to care for pets at all times, especially during the week, and open to long stays. I prefer mornings and day shifts but am happy to consider night shifts and overnight care. I’m flexible and will work around your schedule and preferences, considering all possibilities to make things easy for you and your pets. Please note that I’m currently a college student, so my availability may change after August depending on my school schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for both the pets and their owners. I make sure to follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special needs—to keep pets healthy and happy. I treat every home and pet with respect, maintaining a clean and secure space while being mindful of the pet’s comfort and routine. Building trust is key, so I communicate openly with the client and stay attentive to the pet’s behavior and well-being. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for just like they do at home

“Kevin was a pleasure to work with and treated our senior pup with lots of TLC!”


“We were worried our dog Lucky wouldn’t adjust to anyone new, but Natalie was amazing! She played so well with our tiny Yorkshire Terrier, and he loved her - didn’t even miss us! Highly recommend her pet-sitting services!”


“Best Dog sitter.. grateful.”


“Did a great job. My pets were happy and loved while we were on vacation”


“Lindsay did great with our Layla! She was very responsive and followed all of our directions.”


“Samantha was excellent. Adopted quickly and lovingly to our ‘quirky’ pets. We would highly recommend her”


About: Hi! I have a huge passion for animals, spending time with and caring for them. I have three cats and a puppy right now! In the past I’ve also had reptiles, rats, and fish. One of my cats was recently diagnosed with asthma and my puppy has a cleft lip :) I currently work as a bakery store manager and when I’m not doing that I like to stay busy by going on walks or spending time with my family and pets. I work far from home so I am out and about every day and it is very easy for me to make a stop before and/or after work to check in on your pet! I am unable to provide boarding at my house but I can house/pet sit no problem! If you are looking to book a DOG sitting or walking, meeting them beforehand would be important to me to make sure we are comfortable with each other :)

Dawn L.
“My husband and I highly recommend Dawn L. for her service for any pet care needs. We have a 12 year old dog that cannot be boarded so we require a person to stay at our house with her while we are away, to spend the night with her. It has been several years since we had a reliable pet care giver which impacted our ability to go away. Dawn was highly recommended to us by a neighbor and we felt so comfortable with her immediately upon our first meeting and introduction to our dog. You can tell her love of dogs, as it shows in her interaction with our dog, loving on her like we would. During our inital consultation she listened closely to our notes and instructions for our dog, while connecting to our dog. I liked Dawn immediately and so did Chelsea (our dog). We used her service for four days in July. She was just wonderful. She was at our house during the times she said she would be, giving Chelsea the care and loving that we would hope and want for her. Dawn was great at communicating with us during her stay at our house, with pictures and notes each day with updates. Chelsea seemed relaxed and not stressed at all while we were gone, which is not always the case for her. Dawn's love of animals, showing our dog sweet attention and care made such a difference for her and for us. In summary, Dawn is very reliable, loving and trustworthing. We recommend her for any pet sitting service needed.”
