“Christine was able to house sit for us and the three pups enjoyed her company all weekend. We really appreciated her flexibility to stay the hours we needed for our little trip.”

“Lindsay was great with our new puppy! She spent a lot of quality time with Nora. This was the first time we had to be away for longer than a few hours, and Nora was happy and healthy when we arrived home.”
About: Hi, I’m Maddy! I’m a reliable and responsible pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping your pup company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine. I take the time to follow your instructions closely so your dog’s schedule stays consistent. My goal is to make your dog feel happy, relaxed, and at ease—even when you’re not home. While I’ve had cats my entire life, I’ve spent many years caring for family dogs and dog-sitting regularly. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable handling different temperaments and energy levels, and I’ve learned how to build trust quickly with new dogs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from pit bull mixes to mid-sized doodles to small Maltese. I’m confident working with a variety of breeds, whether they’re energetic and playful or more calm and relaxed. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your dog’s home. I also provide regular updates with plenty of photos of your pup, so you can feel confident knowing your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my routine right now because I have a lot of availability this summer. I’m only taking a few college classes, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, stick closely to their routines, and be available for walks, drop-in visits, or extended care throughout the week. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During visits, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I also keep your home tidy and respect your space. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Melissa was great! This was our second time using her and we will definitely use her again! Definitely recommend her to come into your home and dog sit. She is wonderful with our puppy and Sassy loves her!”

“Thanks Adam for taking care of our pups and allow us to have a relaxing get away! Adam takes such great care of both my high energy crazy girl and senior boy huskies! Highly recommend Adam, great with communication and very accommodating”

“Bonnie surpassed all expectations! My pups took to her immediately at the meet and greet, and were showered with attention during the overnight housesitting. Bonnie brought treats and ruffs for my dogs and sent several pictures and dates over the 2 days. My German Shepherd is especially a nervous Nelly, but he was happy and at ease with Bonnie right away. Caring for two big dogs is not the easiest, but Bonnie did an amazing job. I was so relieved I didn’t have to leave them at daycare and that they were being so well cared for. If you can work with Bonnie, do it! I am so happy to have found a reliable and enthusiastic carer for my dogs.”

“Olivia took great care of Percy while we were away and sent really lovely updates with pictures throughout the stay which we really appreciated! We knew our home and Percy were in good hands with Olivia.”


“Miguel is incredibly considerate and amazing with dogs. He took great care of my house and dog while I was away and provided updates along the way. Will definitely book with him again.”

About: I have worked in the veterinary medical field for 6+ years and have thousands of hours of experience as a veterinary assistant. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and cats, with all different personalities- that’s what makes them all unique and I love it! I am currently very flexible with my weekly routine and I am more than happy to meet with you beforehand if you feel more comfortable. As an avid cat owner, I have Toulouse naturally leash-trained. I have an enclosure for him so he can enjoy the outside, while also being safe. At clients’ homes, I follow all instructions to make sure the pet is safe. I also will make sure the pet is always in my sight if outside.
“Zoe stayed with my Dachshund for two days while I was on a work trip. She was excellent with Samson and completely attentive to our needs. She sent pictures and practiced excellent communication. It was truly a piece of mind to have her help. Her and samson became great friends and we look forward to using her services again:) Thanks Again, Zoe!”

“Mason was a terrific sittter/companion/care-giver for our house and 80 lb dog Ringo. She was diligent and kept in touch. Ringo was in good hands w Mason’s vet experience as she handled a small scrap on his paw expertly and with love. The house was well kept and Ringo has a new good friend.”

“Venus would send pics and status updates every day or whenever we asked. She is very nice and my pets got along great with her. I trust her with my pets and would rebook in the future :)”

“Chloe was a great relief and very flexible with some last minute unexpected health needs for my dog during our vacation. She kept me updated throughout our trip and gave excellent care to my fur babies while I was away.”

About: I've owned and cared for dogs since I was 10 and have always had one or two dogs living in my house. I've raised several dogs and cared for them from puppy stages to their senior years. I've owned and cared for many breeds from golden retrievers to pitties, Chihuahuas and shepherds. I have never met a dog that hasn't become my friend. I run my own business in the evenings during the week but am available before 4pm during the weekdays and can be available all day on weekends. Your house your rules, tell me exactly how you want your dog cared for and I'll have no problem providing that service. From walks to playing with them in a yard to cleaning up after them.
“Robert was very great to watch my dogs. He took them out for walks very often and took great care of them. Would hire him again for sure and recommend him to anyone who asks me about a pet sitter:)”


About: I have 3 years experience babysitting for a private family, they had 3 children and a dog. On multiple occasions I was asked to come to the house once or twice a day, let her out, play with her and feed her! I’ve done this one day at a time, or even 4-5 days in a row as they were out of town! I also dog sat/house sat last summer for an adorable senior black lab for two weeks. I slept at the house, fed her, took her on walks, and of course played with her! I recently dog sat for 4 days, and just came twice a day to let him out, play with him, feed him, and took him on a walk as she requested! I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is flexible enough for me to consistently provide attentive pet care throughout the week! I enjoy making time for walks, play, and scratches. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them and you feel comfortable and stress free. In my client’s home, I make sure pups are fed on schedule, exercised, given attention, and kept in a clean and safe environment! I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
“If I could give Genie 10 stars, I would. She was great and a true professional. The first thing we noticed during our initial meet & greet was her intention to create a bond with our pets. She came armed with treats and immediately began working her way into their hearts and tummies. She took notes, asked about medical conditions, dietary restrictions, etc. She has great business cards. She has definitely gone the extra mile and it's obvious that she takes her role seriously and with care. I hope she feels as good about her stay with Cliify and Luna as we do because it really takes a while for Clifden to warm up to people. I highly recommend Genie and we already have her booked for another date in the next few weeks. Thank you, Genie!”

“Colette is passionate about dogs. She will treat your dog as her own. My Lucy had such a good time with Colette. We had our meet and greet and it went very well. After that I know I want Colette to watch my baby girl. Thank you Colette!”

Lindsay was PHENOMENAL!!! This was my first time leaving our dog alone with someone that was not family. She stayed in our home for 4 days and we got home and it's like nobody was here! Our dog was spoiled and we got many detailed updates. We will 1000% always use her! Thank you Lindsay!!!

Miguel was fantastic with Boudin and Bruno tonight! He was polite, flexible, and clearly took great care of them. We felt completely at ease and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter. We will definitely be using him again. 😊

Adam was everything we hoped he would be and his tag line of being a "Dog Au Pare" is very accurate. Adam bonded with our two dogs immediately and was communicative, but not overly so, while we traveled. Both our home and dogs were very well cared for while we were gone. This gave us great comfort and enhanced our trip. I highly recommend Adam.
