“We hired Megan for a nine night in-home dogsitting job. She truly went above and beyond and we came home to find our pups safe and well cared for. She took it upon herself to create handmade gifts for both dogs and my two children just because that’s the kind of person she is. Would highly recommend and we would be thrilled to re-book in the future!”
“Katie was FABULOUS! Would highly recommend to anyone I know that’s in search of a dog sitter. All my pup wants is snuggles and human affection and it was such a relief knowing he received exactly that while we were away.”
“Kayleigh was so great with my dogs and she went above and beyond to care for my senior dog. Communication was top notch and she kept me updated about everything. She’s great and we can’t wait to see her again.”
“Taylor was so great with our dog!! She house sat for us for 5 days and gave us daily updates and pictures of our dog throughout her stay. She is very sweet and pays attention to detail well. We will definitely be booking with her for all of our puppy needs :)”
“WOW! Never had a need for dog sitter before .So naturally skeptical.Connected with Erin sorted out details for my service. She was friendly,confident& competent! She read some info about Brody’s breed. That’s impressive! Sent me updates on how the dogs were doing!Very nice! Her care of our three dogs was great!Very happy! Thank you Erin! Terrific experience!”
“Mary was absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of our fur babies, Mocha, Apollo, and Doobie, and treated them like her own. Not only was she super loving and attentive, but she also kept our home spotless and went above and beyond to keep us updated with regular check-ins and photos. Her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring, which made being away so much easier. 10/10 would recommend Mary to anyone looking for a responsible, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Mary! 🐾”
“Amber provided great communication during the time she provided petsittinf services to us and was very good with the pets. Even our BMD who is typically very shy around strangers took well to her.”
“Lauren took amazing care of my pets and always kept me updated! Loved receiving photos of my babies while I was gone. She truly listened to me about their little quirks, medications, and what works best for them while we are gone and really followed through! Super easy to talk to and get a hold of! Would 100% refer and will be booking again”
“Gianna was great with our dogs. She responded quickly, set up a meet and greet, and made sure we were comfortable spending a weekend away. She checked in often and even spent extra time with them during a storm. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“10/10 highly recommend. Never left our shelter pet behind before and Lauren swooped in to our rescue. She house sat for a long weekend and when we returned, our pup acted as though we never left. She must’ve nailed our routines, and if that’s not the case, however she treated him left him feeling completely comfortable. That’s all we really could’ve asked for. Now, her snuggling with him at night was just icing on the cake. Thanks Lauren. **Prompt, responsible, reliable, provided unsolicited (perfect amount of) updates, professional.”
About: While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve been around them my entire life and have dog-sat for friends and family multiple times. I’m most comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs, especially those who are friendly and well-behaved. I’m calm, patient, and good at picking up on animals’ body language, which helps build trust quickly. I’m happy to take dogs for walks, feed them, play, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always follow your care instructions closely. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily make time during the day or evening to care for pets. I’m responsible with time management and can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or check-ins. Pet care fits well into my week, and I truly enjoy making it part of my day. I respect every client’s home and follow all instructions carefully to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I make sure doors are secure, walk pets on safe routes, and always double-check things like water, food, and medications. I also take time to make your pet feel calm and cared for, especially when they’re adjusting to your absence.

About: I currently am a volunteer at a local animal shelter, and I have been for about 3 years. I volunteer with cats but I also frequently dog sit for friends and family! I work at a school district so I have lots of free time in the summer, and free time on the weekends and evenings during the school year! I can easily provide whatever you need within your home, and am more than willing to travel to your pets comfort space, rather than bringing them in to a new environment!
About: I’ve had pups in my house for my entire life 21 + years, i am also a ferret lover and a cat lover. friends and family have relied on me to watch their dogs before while they’ve been on vacation.

I love walking dogs it’s great exercise for me as well as them of course!
“We had Victoria watch our dog who has some anxiety issues, for the first time and she did an excellent job. It was short notice and she was able to find time to come and spend the night giving him plenty of attention while keeping us updated on how he was doing. She was great about sending pictures and and following our instructions for making our time away easier on our dog. We would definitely use her again to care for our little guy and appreciate the attention she gave him.”

“Savannah was wonderful with our sweet Lucy girl! She lives very close to us, within 10 minutes, so it was a convenient arrangement for everyone. She kept our puppy entertained and played with in our home and yard while we were away for a 3 day trip. Highly recommend her and look forward to having her sit for us again!”

Aurora A.
“If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further than Aurora A. I’ve known Aurora for years, and her love for animals is truly unmatched. Whether it’s a rambunctious puppy or a shy senior cat, Aurora has a natural ability to connect with animals and make them feel safe, loved, and understood. She’s the kind of person who remembers every pet’s quirks, like which toy they won’t go anywhere without or how they like their belly rubs just so. Aurora is incredibly responsible, punctual, and attentive, and she always goes the extra mile to make sure pets are happy and comfortable. I’ve seen her walk dogs in pouring rain with a smile on her face and spend hours playing with pets just to make their day brighter. Pet parents can rest easy knowing their furry family members are in Aurora’s care. She’s not just a sitter or walker, she’s a true companion to every animal she meets.”
Patrick C.
“Patrick is a caring and responsible pet caretaker. He has watched my dog, Winston. I would trust him to watch Winston anytime I am out of town. He took him on plenty of walks, made sure he was fed at his “usual” times, and gave him plenty of belly rubs and love. I would recommend Patrick as a pet caretaker to anyone looking to have their dog loved and cared for while they are away.”
