“Monica was very loving to both my dogs who were also adjusting to a new home. She was very patient with both of them and was very good about keeping me up-to-date on how things were going. I would highly recommend her to take care of your furry babies..”


“Ashley and Robert are incredibly kind and took such great care of my boy! Ren had the best time exploring and snuggling. Will 100000% book with them again.”


“Nikki did such an amazing job caring for our two pups during a 4 day house sitting. As littermates, they needed someone with extra patience and experience handling their occasional reactivity. She really took the time to get to know them and understand their individual behaviors. Nikki made us feel so comfortable with regular updates, and adorable pictures. She even managed to leave the house cleaner than when she arrived! Next booking is just weeks away, twice as long, and we have no doubts that she'll be fantastic with them again!”


“Tera is absolutely amazing! She kept me updated the entire weekend and sent tons of pictures of my dog the entire time. I will definitely be using her again!”


“Andrea was great and helped care for Rosie while we were out of town. Would definitely use her services again, we really appreciate everything she did!!”


“I can't recommend Karyna enough! She recently stayed with my dog, Rosie, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. From our first interaction, Karyna was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive to Rosie’s needs and personality. Rosie can be a bit shy at first, but Karyna took the time to make her feel comfortable, and it was clear from all the updates that Rosie quickly felt at home with her. Karyna sent plenty of photos and messages, so I always knew Rosie was happy, healthy, and having a great time. She went above and beyond to keep Rosie’s routine consistent and even spent extra time with her playing her favorite games and giving her belly rubs, which Rosie absolutely loved.”


“Debbie was fantastic taking care of my cats! She was so helpful and knowledgeable and so sweet to both of them. She provided excellent care and I look forward to booking with her again!”


“Connor is awesome! I will definitely be using him again. He took such great care of my boys! His communication and updates were amazing! My house was very well taken care of also!”


“Shelly was so great with everything! She communicated with me so well from our initial inquiry, meet and greet, to/throughout the stay with our pets. Even when our dog blew out her knee between the meet and greet and stay, I reached out to make sure Shelly would still be comfortable. She was able to handle all the instructions and take great care of our dog who needed a little extra attention and care. I would certainly trust her again and look forward to booking with her in the future.”


“Bria did a fabulous job of watching my boys! I have a special needs pup and she took great care of him!!! I could tell my boys were happy and well-loved while we were away. We will definitely use Bria in the future!”



“My pup LOVED his time with Steph! She updated us regularly and sent several pics each day. She left my home clean and my pup happy but tired. I've already booked her again!”


About: I have cared for all types of pets from all different ages in my many years of veterinary and kennel experience as well as being a pet owner myself I am currently pursuing a new business venture and have no work schedule to keep me from being able to provide my undivided attention and love to your fur babies. I have two friendly dogs to keep your pet company as well as large areas in my home to keep separated if preferred. I live close to the sugar creek greenway to provide as many walks and outdoor time as your pet desires.

“Eric was terrific! He was very communicative and sent many pictures of him and Buster having a great time! I can tell that he treated Buster as if he was his own by the pictures. Buster looked content as could be. Eric also took amazing care of the house leaving it very neat and clean! I would absolutely have him stay with Buster again, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet-sitter.”


“This is the second time I've used Bret--he cares so much about my dog and takes wonderful care of her and my home--I will be using him again this month for another week. He is really great--Thank you Bret!”


About: I began working in animal hospitals when I was 12… a lot of years of animal care! I have a doctorate in a public health field, also a degree in animal sciences/pre-veterinary medicine (I was accepted into multiple veterinary schools). I recently moved & given my love of animals, returned to caring for fur-babies. I know what it’s like to need someone to care for my pets & provide what I looked for: reliability, attention to detail, responsiveness, & enjoys being with animals. I am happy playing with active pets, patient with those who need time to warm up, & love to cuddle the couch loungers. I have experience with animals from birth to senior years & worked with various health conditions. I will follow your directions as you know your pet(s) best. From cuddles and walks to surgery and inpatient care - I have experience, both professionally & from pets that have been my family. In addition to working in pet hospitals, I have had my own pets, cared from small to very large (while other in photos, Rover is only for dog/cat/housesitting & I have to abide by the TOS). I look forward to bonding with your fur-family members so you can relax with the assurance your pets are in good hands. Hablo español (Costarricense) I am currently 100% dedicated to caring for your fur-babies. My daughter lives on her own (in college), so there are no children or pets in my home. I am available to adapt to their schedules & make your fur-babies my focus. I am able to have pets in my care that are crate trained or those that aren’t, whether at your home or my own place. There is a mini dog-park here so your dog can go for walks on a leash or run free at any time of day. I am also happy to housesit, I recently moved to the area and am in an apartment, but am still a homeowner, so know balancing wanting someone to appropriately watch your house & having a new person there while away. I also understand different pets have different needs in different spaces and can adapt accordingly. I can discuss taking larger dogs for boarding & day care on a case-by-case basis (any size is ok in your home/walking). Safety & a good experience for your pet(s) is my priority.

About: I have watched my moms 2 labs whenever they are outta town. And my sisters German Sheppard and her great Dane bull dog. I just love dogs and they love me.i know I don't have a rating yet. I am new to the app. I just need to book my first lucky customer. Thank all Ni work part time. And I am able to come walk the dogs and play or watch while your outta town. Anything they need let me know please I don't watch dogs in my home.it just isn't big enough. But I'm able to watch your animals anytime. Anything they need let me know and I can do

“Loved Emily. I could tell in the meet and greet my dogs were ? % happy and that made us book on the spot. Everything was super with her visit and we look forward to engaging Emily again!”


“Shelbie was great! She communicated well with us the entire stay, and sent great pictures. One of our dogs, Coco is very shy and anxious, and I could tell she warmed up to Shelbie quicker than other sitters we’ve had. We came home to a clean house and happy girls!”


“We were so lucky to have Logan house sit for us! From the moment we left, we felt totally at ease knowing our home - and more importantly, our pets - were in such great hands. Logan went above and beyond loving on our cats and dogs, and she sent us the best pictures that made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. When we got home, the house was spotless - like we’d walked into a cozy, well-loved retreat. You could tell Logan treated our home and pets with true care and respect. Highly recommend Logan to anyone looking for a responsible, kind-hearted sitter who treats your pets like their own. Can’t wait to have her back next time!”


“Desiree did a great job taking care of our Zoye for us for the days we wore gone ! She sand us pictures and updates on Zoye! Zoye looks happy and healthy! Desiree did a great job! We are so thankful!”
