“Nexsy was incredible. She helped on short notice and still snuck in a meet and greet. Polite, kind, and very understanding of our dogs. She went above and beyond during the time she spent with them by doing some helpful behavioral training. We felt they were in safe and capable hands. Highly recommended!”


About: I’ve taken care my own and others’ pets since I was 14. I don’t have pets of my own at the moment so I relish any opportunity to spend time with and care for others’ adorable cats and dogs. I am currently available at all times on the weekends. From September through May I work during the week, and from June through August a have availability all week long. I am someone who is able to work with any type of schedule to meet your pet’s needs and am comfortable with any type of home environment.

“Donna was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our girl. She had great communication, was present during agreed up schedules, played with her, took walks and even took care of some personal requests such as putting trash out, checking mail and packages and vacuuming. Our home was exactly how we left it, We could tell our girl was very happy with our dog sitting choice. looking forward to booking again soon! Thank you Donna”


“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”


“Katie was absolutely great! Kept in contact, loved Daisy, followed through with all our contacts when there was a problem. She will care for your pet like they were her own! We are already booking another vacation with her!”


About: I’ve cared for many dogs of different ages and problems. I will take your dog for a walk. I have a good yard. I’m very reliable and trustworthy. I would be with your pet most of the day. Unless I have to run errands. The pet will have my apartment to roam. I generally only do one dog at a time except if they come as a pair. My yard is partially fenced. I would take your pet on on walks with the leashes. The dogs have free range of my apartment. Thanks!

“Kayla took care of my two pups while we were away for a long weekend. She wasn’t fazed by my grumpy old guy…. She just rolled with his moods and communicated to us daily. Made it a bit easier to leave my babies home while we were away.”


“Amanda was incredible! She sent a ton of photos of my dog and he absolutely loved her! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter, we couldn’t have had a better experience with her!”


“Derek was very responsive and very flexible with how short-notice our request was. Was willing to learn about cat asthma and how to handle it if an attack occurred, which we greatly appreciated as that was a major concern for us. Overall very chill and got some great photos!”


“This is the second time we have asked Catherine to watch our dog and cat. And we would definitely ask her a third, fourth, fifth, and so on because she is wonderful caring for them! We had no worries being out of town and know that they are in good hands with Catherine. Anybody seeking Catherine's help to watch their pets will not be disappointed. Thank you so much!! - M&N”

About: Hi, I’ve owned all types of animals my entire life like dogs, cats, bunnies and birds. I currently work at a pet resort, where I look after pets every day, making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or feeding time. I treat every animal like my own. I’m also well trained in giving medications or any type of special care! I know how important your pets are, and I’m here to give them the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I currently work at a pet resort where I work all types of hours, from Tuesday-Saturday. I can work anywhere from 6AM-6PM but I’m very flexible with fitting you and your pups into my schedule! Since I have so much experience with animals, I’m okay with helping out with almost anything you need for your pets! Whether it’s cleaning, potty breaks, playing, feeding, medications. I’d love to just spend some time with your pet and be their friend! I do not take pets to my home as I have reactive animals, but I’m always okay with commuting to yours!

“Madie was very sensitive to my dog's separation anxiety. She did a good job caring for my dog and the house. She cuddled with her and spent time outside playing with Skye. I felt very relieved knowing that Skye was well cared for. I would have her care for Skye, my dog anytime.”

“Carina did a great job with my dogs. It was very clear to me she has passion for animals regardless of breeds! I have 4 dogs different breeds with very different temperaments and schedules and on different diets and she was able to cater to each one of their needs. One of my younger dogs a klee kai is super active and she made sure it got the exercise it needed, while one of my older 10 year dog is on a special diet and she was sure they were well taken care of. I will definitely be using her services again.”
