“Destiny was terrific! I had a last minute work trip and needed extended care for my cat. She was extremely accommodating and took wonderful care of him. He took to her immediately which is rare for him. Destiny was extremely flexible as plans changed due to a blizzard that impacted the area. She followed all instructions for the cat and treated my place like it was her own — it was spotless when I got back. Thank you, Destiny!”

“Hillary was awesome! I’ll definitely be booking her again. She was very communicative and sweet to my dog Misu. During our meet and greet, she also really took the time to get to know my dog and ask about his needs.”


“Kim has stayed with our dog, Finn several times. She does a great job of keeping his routine as usual as possible. He really likes her. It makes our vacation so much better not having to worry about him while we are away.”

“Our 4 month pup had a great day with Sean! We booked Sean for a house sitting day with our rambunctious pup. All was great and we really appreciated the pics while we were away! Definitely will book with Sean again!”

About: I am a former vet kennel aide with decades of experience providing calm, attentive, in-home care. I am skilled in safe handling and have worked with and owned a variety of pets. Pet care is a part of my everyday routine - I start each morning feeding my own dog and cat making consistency and reliability second nature. I care for pets in their own homes, following your routines closely while keeping your pet safe, comfortable and your home secure. I care for your pets as if they are my own and bring positivity and my best care to each visit.
“We are so thankful we found Valeria to stay with our precious Chancey shortly after we moved to our house. She was clear, organized, stuck to our usual schedule and sent frequent detailed updates with photos 😍. It is clear that she is very experienced with dogs and training. Thank you so much Valeria!”


“Libby is wonderful! She's so good with our pets and has always been communicative and caring. Our dog can be a bit of a handful because she gets scared so easily and Libby handles her very well. Your pets will be in great hands with Libby.”
About: I started dog sitting when I was in 6th grade and have been taking care of pets since then. I grew up with 3 dogs and 2 cats and have tons of experience with walking, training, and other pet care! I work full time and get off around 5 p.m. Monday - Thursday and can assist with early morning walks/care or evening to late evening. I am limited on caring for dogs in my apartment due to apartment policies. However, short stays can be arranged! I live with just myself in a community and no longer have pets in my care.
“She stayed at my house and took care of my dog she did a fantastic job! I am so pleased with her! She made sure she didn’t leave a mess in my house and took pictures of the dog all the time it was great I am so pleased I would definitely use her again”

“Tatiana looked after our dog Delilah whilst we were in England for a week. She did a truly wonderful job- taking great care of Delilah and of our house and kept in touch with the loveliest photos and videos. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

About: I’ve worked at an animal shelter and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I love both dogs and cats and will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently a graduate student, which gives me a flexible schedule and free days to dedicate to pet care. I’m able to plan my routine around walks, drop-ins, feedings, and quality time so your pet gets consistent attention. Because I’m home often, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and will get plenty of care and companionship. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family with a safe, calm environment, structured routines, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m mindful of keeping spaces clean, secure, and stress-free so they feel comfortable and settled. In clients’ homes, I respect your routines and preferences to keep your pet’s schedule consistent, whether that’s specific feeding times, medication, crate training, or favorite walking routes. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on making sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.
“We hired Jocelyn to housesit our dog Arthur and she was fantastic! She was a great communicator from start to finish, sent us lots of photos, and went the extra mile to ensure he was well taken care of during our trip. She also left our house exactly as it was when we left and was a gracious guest. We would absolutely book her again!”

About: Hello! I'm a kind and caring local mom who is looking to make extra income. I love ALL pets - they are true gift in this wild world of ours! I'm very organized and a great communicator -- you'll find it easy partnering with me, I promise! I'm currently only working part-time -- and from my home office -- so I have a lot of flexibility. I am available weekends as well, with full flexibility 6:30 am - 10 pm on weekends. Weekdays I can do anytime 6:30-10 am; 12 - 1 pm and 4-10 pm I prefer to come to your home to care for your pets but am flexible on having pets into my home as well -- let's talk more! I have a 1.5 yr old rescue mix (8 breeds!) named Tank.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 10. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and give plenty of love to their pets. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and cats always treating them like part of my family. I love keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule, so I can spend plenty of time with pets each day. I’m available for dog walking, cat care, playtime, and more. I make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable in my care. I provide a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment, and I follow all instructions from owners closely.
“So far above and beyond don’t even know where to start. So great with our 10 week old new puppy’s schedule, looking after our house, and even washed our sheets. So grateful of the car they took of our cat and puppy. Really appreciate the work!”


“Alex did a great job house and pet sitting for us this week. He even stayed longer on the last day when our flight home was delayed. We got daily reports and pictures of our pets and would use him again for future trips. Thank you Alex!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. I love them and have a lot of patience for them. I’ve taken care of calm dogs and energetic dogs!!! They are guaranteed to be walked at least 3 times a day. We have a HUGE fenced yard where your pet can run wild!! My family will be helping out so they will never be alone for long :) We have 2 carers so your fur babies won't be left alone for long. We all take shifts so it's easy for us to make sure all pets are attended to throughout the day. If they are able to, we make sure to work them out by playing fetch until they get tired! If they are not potty trained we will give them diapers in between potty breaks to minimize accidents in home. We have a lot of toys for them to destroy so they don’t destroy furniture. We take away any possible toxic and choking hazard away from the area they will be sleeping/chilling. We also make sure they all have access to water all day.
“Taylor was an excellent house sitter and care giver for our dog! From our first engagement through messages, she communicated promptly and clearly. For our meet and greet, Taylor asked great questions that showed she was knowledgeable with dogs and well experienced. During her stay, she communicated updates and photos regularly. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing everything was well cared for. It was clear she was a good fit for our dog and family. We will definitely have Taylor back and would be happy to recommend her to others!”

Valeria stayed with our Chancey for a full week. She sent frequent updates of their walks and play together. Apart from taking such great care of Chance, she communicated very well when there was an issue with our ACs. She also went above and beyond to ensure we returned to a tidy house. Thank you Valeria, we are lucky that we can count on you with our fur baby 🐕.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Ellie! From the moment we met her, she was friendly, warm, and made us feel completely at ease leaving our dog in her care. She was incredibly loving and attentive to our dog’s needs, giving her the utmost care and affection. Our dog has trouble with separation and Ellie made sure to be around as much as possible to make our dog feel at ease. Communication was fantastic—she was quick to respond, provided regular updates, and sent sweet photos that reassured us our dog was happy and well cared for. It’s clear she truly loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. She left our home neat and tidy, and went the extra mile to wash towels and sheets before leaving. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care, and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again in the future! Thank you for being so amazing, Ellie!

Emily did a great job, house-sitting for us and taking care of our Catahoula Leopard Dog, Maggie. She was very responsible and careful with everything in the house, and went out of her way to accommodate Maggie's idiosyncracies. We would not hesitate to ask her to take care of Maggie, and the house, again.
