Bayley did a great job with all 3 of our dogs! She came over in the morning for breakfast; as we needed help because our reg dog-sitter's schedule changed. She jumped right in and was very flexible! Def will use Bayley again!!

This is my 5th or 6th time using Liz. Every time she sends good pictures and her communication is great! Fast responses, clear pictures and happy dogs every time. I don’t recommend giving short notices if you don’t have to but my job is last minute demanding and she’s been the best at responding last minute.

Monique has been our trusted dog sitter for a couple of months now and we intend to keep hiring her going forward! She is on time, never misses a booking, and is flexible with our crazy schedules. Her care for our young, crazy puppy has lifted a lot of stress off of my wife and I with our full-time jobs. We highly recommend Monique.

Donai was exceptional! I knew when she came to meet Alice and Hank and she got on the floor to meet them, and asked for some treats to win them over, that she had already won over my approval. She gave me daily updates and daily pictures. It made me so happy on my trip to both see them, and also see that they were being well cared for and loved. Would definitely book Donai again!!

About: Some Senior Care Magic hands with dogs Feeding and Nutrition I have some experience with giving medications, but please tell me what works best for your pet. I currently am working part time for the summer so I will be able to check with your pets late at night and early morning. The most they'll be alone will probably be 5 hours. Most of time they won't be alone for Sundays. In your home, I'll make sure to walk them outside and if you have a backyard we'll play outside. We'll also play in any surrounded parks.

About: I've been in the house/pet sitting business for a couple years now. I've worked in houses with anywhere between one animal to seven animals! I am absolutely open to exotic pets as well as I have a few of my own and would love to meet different species. I also worked in a zoo for 4 years, and currently work in a vets office, so I have plenty of different experiences. I look forward to meeting your babies:) I currently work at a vets office Thursday-Saturday from 9am-5:30pm (1pm on Saturdays), and volunteer Sunday nights, so I would unfortunately not be able to provide around the clock care. Otherwise, I am at the home all day! I am open to frequent walks, brushing, bathing, giving medication, and any other specific needs for your pet! I understand how tedious and picky some animals tend to be, so I'm open to any accommodations necessary.

About: I've owned dogs (and cats!) for 15+ years and have experience with many different types; hunting dogs, small house dogs, massive house dogs, and much in between. I am a responsible caretaker and give the utmost care to each animal I'm asked to watch over. I once adopted a kitten that was handed to me by a stranger, while on a run. I've house sat with a 175 great dane and been the lucky caregiver of a sweet geriatric prince named Chicago, who had more kitty tummy problems than your ex with IBS. My day job is by contract, so my schedule is often flexible. I have an Australian Cattle Dog-mix-tripod-angel baby- named Scarlet and her worker dog genes keep me active, so I am intimately acquainted with the necessity of regular activity and bathroom breaks. I have a fenced in backyard as well as a gated basement to help keep the animals in safe areas. My dog is very friendly and curious, so I would make sure all parties feel safe before accepting in-my-home stays. Services outside my home are catered to the client's comfort level.

About: I provide reliable, attentive, and loving care tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and focused on creating a safe and comfortable environment where pets feel at home. I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, routines, and temperaments, including puppies and senior dogs. I can follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, and provide regular walks, playtime, and companionship. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to every pet. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos to ensure peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and make sure each pet receives the care, exercise, and affection they need while staying with me. I’m available during weekdays and weekends, and I can adapt to different feeding, walking, and sleeping routines to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are in a clean, calm, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for at all times. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines to keep pets comfortable and maintain consistency. In my home, pets receive constant supervision, regular exercise, fresh water, and plenty of attention and affection. I create a safe space where they can rest, play, and feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they are away.

Olivia takes great care of our 4 kitties! We have rebooked her several times when we have to leave town. She is thorough and leaves detailed accounts of her visits. It’s reassuring when you’re away from your babies. Highly recommend her!

We were really happy with the care she gave our dog while we were away. At first our dog was a little shy and unsure, but she eventually warmed up to her and started getting excited for their walks and playtime. I was honestly nice seeing her look forward to the visits. She always made sure our dog was fed and had fresh clean water, and even with only 30-minute visits, she still took the time to walk and play with her. Our dog can pull a lot during walks, but she handled her really well and seemed patient with her. Overall we were satisfied with her care and appreciated the updates and time she spent with our dog while we were away. We’d definitely consider booking with her again. Thank you again!
