“Logan was the first house sitter we have ever had for our dog Max and he helped us feel at ease. He was willing to come to our home on two separate occasions for meet and greets prior to us going out of town, to see our early morning breakfast routine, medication administration, and walk. We found him to be very understanding when we presented him with a two-page document discussing everything he would need to know about how to care for Max and our home. He sent us great photos of Max while we were away, and Max was very calm upon our return. He was very easy going and willing to stay longer at our home when our return flight was delayed by two hours. We would definitely recommend Logan as a responsible and reliable pet sitter.”


“Genuinely the best pet sitter we have ever had. Our animals were all so comfortable from the moment they met Lillie, she was so kind and communicative- even ran out to get treats when they ran out. She made the cutest book and printed out photos of our pets for us when we came home. I genuinely don’t have enough good words to say and I am so grateful for the care and love Lillie showed us and our animals. She’s the best.”

About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 and was given my miniature Australian Shepard at that age. She passed in 2020 and although I havent had another dog since, I am happy and comfortable around dogs. I work at an animal hospital on the West side and love it. I worked at AMC for two years as a veterinary assistant which confirmed for me I am in the right field.

As long as I have notice I can manage anything I make sure I have many toys and bowls of water/food for the pets. I know about mannerisms for pets and am comfortable giving space or playing with pets that need it. All depends on what they want/ are comfortable with

“Paula was a fantastic dog sitter for our three dogs. She came on time and kept them great company. She texted us throughout the day to give us photos and updates and to ask questions. What I most appreciate about Paula is the sense of safety and reliability she brings to the job: since she made sure to keep us updated about the dogs throughout the day, I never had to worry or wonder what was happening at the house. Upon returning home, we found our dogs happy and healthy. I would book Paula again in a heartbeat!”


“Briana is a gem! We had a family emergency and had to leave the boys to travel to another city. Briana was immediately available at cery short notice. As always, my dogs were very happy to be with her, and they were well taken care of. Thenk you!”


“Destiny has been just fantastic. I needed a house sitter to watch over my 10 week old puppy as I could not travel with her. After a meet & greet that went extremely well, Destiny agreed to house sit for the three consecutive days. I could not be happier. Destiny took fantastic care of my puppy, taking her outside for potty breaks as needed, day or night. The regular updates with photos, videos and messages were reassuring and calming for me. Destiny also was so respectful of the house and left it as nice as when she first got here. I could not have been happier with a house sitter for my puppy. Thank you! I know my puppy misses her!”


“Jamel is so excellent with my new puppy Angel! He loves animals and enjoys interacting with them. He is extremely professional and responsible in his job. He is very tidy and keeps my home flawless. Angel loves him and I will definitely keep booking him on a regular basis! Francine”


About: Farm sitting available also! I love animals more than people if I’m being completely honest! Haha. I have my own dog, pictured in my profile! I am currently a farmhand on my days off from my full time job, mainly taking care of cows, but chickens and goats too! I grew up around/riding horses. I would be more than happy to keep your animals company while you’re out and about! I am great with animals and they normally like me! I am a pretty outgoing person and love walks myself, so I have no problem taking the pups with me. Please, if you want ANY more information at all, please feel free to send me a quick message. I would be more than happy to speak with you about your pets and get to know you as the owner. I would be happy to help you with any of your questions if you have any!! Thank you🙂 I work full time so i can really watch animals that are okay with a regular work shift. I can absolutely check on them during my breaks from work also. I am happy to stay at your house if needed! I am more than happy to do whatever makes your pet the happiest! For it’s them that brings us the happiness! Like mentioned, I’m happy to stay in your home if that’s what’s needed, or just drop ins for a couple hours multiple times a day! My dog is also great with other dogs and is more than happy to tag along for a play date!

“Robert was an outstanding sitter. Our dog seemed to love him. He spent lots of time with her, walked her, and sent us many photos. He also took good care of our home — despite a complete power outage in our neighborhood for 24 of the 48 hours he was at our home. When the ice in the freezer melted and leaked from the freezer, he took the initiative to clean it up and make sure it didn’t become a bigger problem damaging the wood floors.”


“I would highly recommend Maya! She’s great at communicating, she’s punctual, kind and most importantly, very good with animals. She watched my two dogs when I was away for the weekend and she made sure they were well taken care of and loved when I was away.”


“Katherine did an amazing job looking after our two pups. She was really communicative and very kind. I especially appreciated the updates and pictures. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!”

Pretty sure my pup was disappointed when I walked in the door after my trip instead of her. Very responsive, accommodating, and professional. Won’t use anyone else but her. She could easily be charging double what she is and it would be worth it.”
