“Christina took care of our Scottie during a quick trip to Washington. She got along well with the dog and kept in touch with us with text messages and picture. She spent the night with Cookie. When we returned the house was neat and the dog was happy. I will hire Christine again.”

“Sean was absolutely amazing while sitting for our dog, Kip. Kip is diabetic, and Sean said it was no problem as he had experience with pet injectables. He provided updates with photos and videos. It's always hard to leave your pet with someone for the first time, but Sean made it a smooth process. I would 100% ask Sean to sit for Kip again!”

“Catherine watched my fur babes while I was in Europe. She was fantastic! I got lots of pictures and daily updates all of which eased my mind while away. I HIGHLY recommend”
“I am so grateful for the amazing care my puppy received! The sitter went above and beyond, keeping me updated with photos and making sure he was happy and well cared for. My puppy is high-energy, and I truly appreciate knowing he was in good hands. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust. Highly recommend this sitter to anyone looking for reliable and loving care!”

“Thank you so much, Maura! We truly appreciate the wonderful care you gave our dogs, Linda and Honey, during the 8 days you spent with them. You were attentive, responsible, and so loving with them, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend Maura to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We are very grateful for everything you did!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and is something I just love. Whenever I go to see a friend who owns a dog, I spend more time with the dog often times! I don’t have any of my own at the moment since my partner has allergies, but being there to dog sit will allow me to spread that love and care with them. I have watched many of my friends dogs overnight or just for the day due to my hybrid schedule - which is wonderful! I work a hybrid role - so I might be able to offer walks during the day on some days of the week. But weekends work best for me to stay over and dog sit (for those traveling or don’t want their dog in someone else’s home). This will help build trust and love with the little ones, while keeping them in the comfort of their own home. I always want to ask, what are the do’s and dont’s since every dog is different. I want to make sure they are able to relax and enjoy the company as much as I would. If I’m able to stay at the sitters home, I will routinely send updates or photos (as desired) and give them peace of mind to know that they’re little ones are safe with me. I absolutely adore dogs and I want to make them as loved as they deserve. If I take them for walks, recap anything that they did to report back to the owner as well.
“Marta, is a great dog sitter. She did an excellent job with our dog Red. He is an English Bulldog and is high maintenance because of his age. She was patient with him and made sure he took his medication, fed and comfortable while we were out of town. I highly recommend heard our house was very clean when we returned!”

“Dawn is the best! I have used her several times and will continue to do so. She is responsive, professional and dependable. She has a great attitude and sends pics of the pets. I can totally trust her.”


“This was my first time using the app and was nervous leaving my babies and having someone stay at my home without knowing them. I searched through many profiles and immediately felt at ease with Jaclyn, she was responsive and proactive. We had a meet and greet and Maia instantly came to her and settled on Jaclyn’s lap while we talked logistics. I was sold when Jaclyn naturally just started petting her and said to both my pups, we’re going to have a good time together. I felt at ease leaving them with Jaclyn, she has a natural calming energy. During her time with my pups she was communicative and followed instructions perfectly. Both my boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised to find the home exactly as we left it. I highly recommend Jacklyn and will most definitely work with her in the future.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes dogs deserve all the love, belly rubs, and happy walks they can get! I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and personalities — from playful puppies to older cuddle bugs — and I absolutely love spending time with them! Whether it’s a long walk, rough housing, or just cozy couch time, I’ll make sure your pup feels cared for, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and love getting to know their quirks and favorite things. You can expect lots of text updates, silly photos, and goofy videos! 🐾✨ I work unique hours during the week, so I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings for walks, drop-ins, and quality pet time. My flexible schedule lets me give pets consistent care and attention without feeling rushed. Safety is ALWAYS my first focus — keeping doors locked, leashes secure, and routines consistent. I’m attentive during walks and play, and always make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for.
About: With over 12 years of hands on experience, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who require extra patience and gentle care. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to handle everything from daily walks and feedings to medication and overnight stays. What sets me apart is the way I treat every pet as if they were my own: with love, attentiveness, and respect for their unique needs. Whether it’s keeping up with high energy pups, providing comfort to older companions, or following a specialized routine, I make sure your fur baby feels safe, happy, and truly cared for. As a stay at home wife, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’ve been doing this part time for years, even though this is my first time offering services on this platform. I love the flexibility it gives me to work around your schedule and focus on your pet’s needs. Because of this, I can dedicate the time and attention your pet deserves - from long walks and play sessions to mid-day check-ins and cuddles. You’ll never have to worry if your pet is getting enough exercise, love, or attention while you’re away. My priority is to keep pets happy and comfortable in the environment they know best — their own home. I carefully follow your instructions to maintain consistency, whether that means sticking to a strict feeding schedule, administering medications, or honoring your pet’s favorite routines. I’m attentive to every detail and treat your home with the same respect as I do your pet. You can expect regular updates, plenty of photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and in the hands of someone you can trust.
“Lauren did an amazing job taking care of my pups! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent me pics as well. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Daniela was great with our dog Rocky. She communicated with us throughout the experience and sent photo updates daily. Thanks for making Rocky's first sitter experience a positive one :).”

“Vanessa is phenomenal! She spent 11 days watching my 2 pups & kept me updated throughout. I loved the pictures and videos. She had no issues with feeding/medication schedules. I am so grateful for Vanessa- she is absolutely the best.”

“Gary is amazing! He has been our cat sitter for a while now and just stayed at our house for the first time, for a week. He takes amazing care of our cats, we never need to worry about them when he’s watching them.”

Thank you so much, Maura! We truly appreciate the wonderful care you gave our dogs, Linda and Honey, during the 8 days you spent with them. You were attentive, responsible, and so loving with them, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We highly recommend Maura to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We are very grateful for everything you did!

Daniela took such great care of our boys — our wild Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy and our senior Shih Tzu — and handled them like a total pro. She was super patient with the puppy energy, gentle and attentive with my older dog, and kept me updated the whole time so I never had to worry. On top of that, she left my home spotless. She went above and beyond in every way, and I came back to two happy dogs and a clean house. I couldn’t ask for anything more. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your pets and your home, Daniela is the one. I’ll definitely be booking her again!

Jessica was awesome with our boys (1 puppy and 1 senior)! She gave great updates and really made sure they were happy and cared for. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. It was such a comfort knowing they were in good hands when I’m not home. Highly recommend!

Marta, is a great dog sitter. She did an excellent job with our dog Red. He is an English Bulldog and is high maintenance because of his age. She was patient with him and made sure he took his medication, fed and comfortable while we were out of town. I highly recommend heard our house was very clean when we returned!

Nicholas is a wonderful person and did a great job housesitting our English Bulldog Red! He sent pictures and messages to keep us up to date, which was appreciated since our dog had is older. The house was completely clean when we got home, just how we left and it was an excellent experience working with Nicholas!!
