“Liz was great. She cared for our four-year-old Labrador in our home for an over night stay. She was conscious of our dog’s unique needs and personality. We received updates with photos of their walks in the snow. I’d highly recommend her. We will most definitely use her again for our dog and housesitting needs.”

“Samantha is the best! One of our dogs got sick at the beginning of our trip and she kept in touch with us consistently throughout. She sent pics to reassure me that my dogs were being cared for and they looked like they were calm and comfortable at all times. She took my home care and pet care instructions seriously so the dogs weren’t stressed. She goes the extra mile and I really appreciate her for it.”
“Maddie was fantastic. She bonded with the pups, was great at communicating with us, and she left the house just as she found it (and even put clean sheets on the bed). We had a lot of very specific instructions, as one of our pups is recovering from surgery, and she seems to have carefully followed them all. I would hire Maddie again in a heartbeat.”

“Averyl took great care of Banshee and our home. She shared wonderful updates, took Bansh on some nice hikes, and left the house spotless. We’ll definitely use her again in the future!”

“Scott was great with our new 14 week old puppy. Our puppy was pumped to see him each day and that is probably the best endorsement. Scott was consistently on time (even early!) and made it easy.”

“Jessica took great care of our pup. She clearly has a lot of knowledge and familiarity with dogs and we felt very comfortable leaving town knowing she was taking care of our 9 month old puppy. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”

About: I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats and truly love any time I get to spend around furry friends. Whether it’s going on walks, drop-in visits, or just giving your pet some extra attention and care while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I have very flexible availability and do my best to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m also happy to provide references or reviews from past pet owners upon request. I have a pretty flexible schedule and have a lot of time to take care of your pets even if it’s at the last minute. I am used to many different pets and let them approach me. I can walk them, give them the care they need and put them back in their crate.
“Sarah was once again fantastic in caring for our boy Vizsla! Provided great regular updates, took him on many walks, and left the house in great condition! Definitely will hire Sarah again.”

“Caitlyn took excellent care of my dog, Wilfred. She was always quick to respond to any questions of mine and would send plenty of pictures. Caitlyn was also flexible with some last minute schedule changes which was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend Caitlyn for any of your dog sitting needs.”

About: Friends and family can always relay on me to take care of their pet when needed. Love giving them the attention they want and deserve! I work for myself so my schedule is flexible and I have plenty of room in my day to take care of your pet. Walk them, feed and play. I’ll take care of your dog just how you would like me to and send photos if you miss them and want to know everything is ok!
About: Hello! For starters: I live with three amazing rescues dogs; Mazy, Sid and Jack. Jack is on medication for his back leg joint because he’s getting older so I do have experience with medicated doggos. Growing up I was in 4H since the age of 9 so I had great responsibilities on raising animals. I truly love watching them grow into their own personalities. Having that responsibility keeps me on task with what an animal needs in their daily life; food, water, cardio(depending on size) and lots of love! I’m currently taking online college classes so I will be available most mornings. My schedule is flexible so I can make arrangements. I’m looking for ongoing long-term schedules if possible. Please reach out to me if you’d like! I have a fenced yard for a smaller to medium dog. There is a park nearby my house, it is dog friendly and lots of grass to run in.
“Sky is terrific. Kind, calm and very lloving. We were fortunate to have her watch our two dogs and house sit. One of our dogs is heading to TPLO surgery so not super active. Sky made sure he had plenty of love. She made sure he received his meds and food. Our large bernadoodle is 3 and very active. Sky took her for walks and the beach. Plenty of love and fun. Thank you Sky.”

“Aaron is wonderful! He is very sweet and caring to our 14 year old lab, and took our rambunctious young boxer on long hikes. He kept us updated throughout the 'tour of duty' and left the house absolutely spotless. We would definitely ask him to care for our boys again.”

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of dedicated animal advocacy. I didn’t just start sitting yesterday; I launched my first pet-care business in middle school, earning the trust of my neighborhood by providing reliable walks and check-ins. I offer more than just a walk around the block. My background is rooted in years of hands-on experience dealing with diverse animal needs, from the high energy of a kitten to the delicate requirements of a senior dog. I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind. That’s why I treat every animal in my care with the same attention I give my own senior dog and young cat. Look forward to plenty of pics! I have a very flexible schedule. Each week is a little different and I work from home. I can change and re-arrange my work meetings depending on your animals' needs! No matter the location, these are my non-negotiables: Safety First: I never leave pets unattended with high-risk toys or in unmonitored social situations. Health Checks: Given my experience with senior dogs, I’m always "scanning" for changes in energy, appetite, or bathroom habits. Communication: You’ll get photos and a "report card" after every visit. I know how much it means to see your pet's happy face while you're gone. Cleanliness: I am a stickler for clean bowls and tidy litter boxes. A clean environment is a happy environment!
“Zohar came to our rescue when our planned petsitter bailed at the last minute - in the middle of a winter storm with a high mountain pass to conquer. Friendly, calm, and concerned with detail, he took great care of our Buddha while we were gone. We came home to a contented, pooped puppy after his daily walks and exercises. We also came home to a clean house with barely a footprint left behind. Communication was frequent and clear throughout our trip. Zohar is highly recommended!”

“Leo was right at home with Olivia. She stayed with him in my home, took amazing care of both. She is calm, communicative, and really took the time to understand my expression of Leo’s needs. I highly recommend her, and will be booking with her again very soon!”

About: I have extensive experience with every kind of pet. Growing up, I had four dogs and two cats. When I got older, I began fostering dogs and cats of my own. By now, I have fostered around 50 pets all of various ages with varying needs. I have trained puppies, administered medications, and cleaned more litter boxes than I can count. I have a love for animals that I feel allows me to provide them with the best quality of care. I started my own Pet Care Business at just 9 years old and was complimented on my timeliness, care of the home, and active communication through photos/ texts with the families I am pet sitting for. I am currently working as a teacher with weekends and breaks off. I am home every day by 3 p.m. and prioritize an active schedule where I will walk and provide a lot of play time to animals. I am available to board pets 7 days a week and have a lot of experience in home visits as well. My free time will be spent making sure that your pet feels love, security, and tail wags while you are away. I have a fenced yard, community dog park, no other pets, and a large apartment with plenty of space to feel at home, run and play. Additionally, I have a lot of dog toys and I keep my space very neat so there is nothing that your pet could be injured or intimidated by. I have 10 years of experience with entering other people’s home for pet care. I am trustworthy, timely, and give high quality of care to the homes and pets I interact with.
