“Tara is amazing! Tara stayed with our two puppies for 4 nights at our house. Tara is so kind and a great communicator. We got lots of pictures and updates. The puppies were so happy and well taken care of. Our dogs were for sure disappointed when their time with Tara ended.”

“Amber is fantastic! Very reliable, sends photos of our fur babies and updates throughout her stay. She is a great house sitter and leaves our home as it was when we left. I highly recommend Amber if you are in need of a caring, considerate, and excellent communicator to watch your dogs. 🐕 🐾🩵”

“Rayanna did amazing caring for our puppy, Theo. She followed all of his unique care instructions and sent lots of photos throughout the night. 10/10 recommend!”

About: With extensive petsitting experience covering animals, reptiles, and even insects, I offer in-home services, dog walking, and stop-in checks for pets. I do this because at my core, I love animals. I will prioritize the well-being of your pet through tailored care, including feeding, exercise, and affection. I have grown up with animals my entire life. I know how to understand them and read them. I'm reliable, professional, and have providable references showcasing my love for animals. I have a flexible schedule, though I do work on-site during the day. My hours, though, can be adapted to allow me to plan around your pet, and I make it a priority to structure my time so they’re comfortable, cared for, and never left alone for long. In order to provide the best care for your pets, it makes sense to meet beforehand to get an introduction for the space and how to acquaint myself with everything needed to ensure that your pet’s needs are being met.
“Thank you so much for watching Bowey! We truly appreciate you taking such good care of him! Also it was super helpful when our trip got extended and you were able to watch him a few extra days! We will definitely be in touch for future stays!”


“Angela did a great job making my dog feel comfortable while I was not home, My little dog is very afraid of storms and Angela was great at staying with her and making her feel as comfortable as possible during the storms. She communicated with me to let me know Zara was doing well. I would defiantly use her again to take care of my dog”

“Michael had been wonderful and he has helped us out with our two dogs several times. He communicates well and my dogs have been so happy having him stay with them while we are gone. Would recommend him to take care of your pets.”


“Paul was very tuned into Meli’s needs and spent a lot of time playing with her as she has an abundant amount of energy. He provided a lot of photos and videos, which I greatly appreciated and was very flexible with helping us out last minute. Thank you Paul!!”

“Sara recently stayed the night with my two dogs. My night away was made more relaxing, knowing that they were in great hands. Sara is conscientious, great with dogs, and a wonderful person.”

“Cooper did an incredible job caring for our two dogs and our cat. He sent daily photo updates, took the dogs on their walks, and made sure everyone felt loved and well cared for. He even cleaned up the house before he left, which was such a thoughtful touch to come home to. We highly recommend Cooper for any pet‑sitting needs and look forward to booking with him again.”

“Emmalee was an amazing sitter, and I would recommend her to everyone and anyone. She kept us updated with numerous photos and videos, was clear about her schedule, and took amazing care of our little boy. She was so considerate of all his needs and treated him like she was her own. Not to mention, she left our place better than we left it. Your fur baby will be in the best hands when with Emmalee. Five stars all around.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, ensuring each walk is safe, engaging, and tailored to their individual needs. From energetic pups who love long, active outings to older dogs who prefer a slower pace, I focus on providing attentive, compassionate care every step of the way. I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs, following specific instructions, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, so pet owners can feel confident their dogs are in reliable and caring hands. I'm currently wide open during the summer for walks, enrichment and stop by visits. I can come by multiple times a day depending on needs. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and rest. I provide plenty of attention, supervision, and affection, while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I make sure the space is pet-proofed and monitor their behavior to ensure they stay happy and healthy. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, and any special care needs. I keep the home tidy, ensure pets have fresh water at all times, and give them companionship and exercise based on their energy level. I also provide updates so owners feel reassured that their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Joey continues to be the BEST dog sitter for our pups! She loves them and takes amazing care of them with daily updates and pictures. Joey leaves our house clean…probably cleaner than I leave it for her 😁 I recommend her 100%”

“Faith was amazing!! She was taking care of my 10 yr dog with special needs and loved her while I was on a week long business trip. She treated her with kindness and love!! Thank you Faith!!! I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs you have!”

About: We lost our sweet Blue (11 year old labradoodle) 3 years ago of bone cancer, and have recently become empty nesters. We LOVE dogs, and our cat has missed his canine companion. Our yard is over an acre, and includes a wooded area. We are also located near beautiful trails that we can walk to. Both of us work from home the majority of the time, and we will only open our home up to furry house guests if we are sure that at least one of us is available to be home the majority of the day. Your dog will love the extra love and attention that they will receive, and we tend to be a bit lenient with letting dogs on furniture/beds. Most of our neighbors own dogs, and there are young children next door. That being said, a dog that is friendly with other dogs and not wary of children would LOVE a vacation with us. I am working part time, and my husband works at least 1/2 of the time from home. We are flexible with dog schedules, and have experience with "elderly" dogs with special needs. We have a large yard (over an acre), which is not fenced in. Our neighborhood connects to walking trails and parks, so your dog will have ample exercise opportunities. We are extremely flexible with our schedules, and can adapt to meet your dog's current routines.
“My experience in working with Taylor was excellent. Great communicator and most importantly cared for my 10yr lab while out in a work trip. Taylor went above and beyond what was required as she left the house spotless, and washed bedding and bathroom towels before leaving.”

“Elizabeth took amazing care of our dog Layla while we were away. She kept us updated with sweet messages and photos, and we could tell Layla was happy and well-loved the whole time. We came home to a relaxed, content pup — we couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend Elizabeth and would absolutely book with her again.”

Jasmine was great to communicate when booking and setting up a meet and greet! She watched our 4 pets - 2 dogs and 2 cats - for a week at our home. She sent us occasional updates while we were away. Everything was in order when we returned, and the pets were all healthy and doing fine! We were glad they were able to stay in our home while we were gone!

Allison did a superb job with our multiple dogs and cats! We got daily pics and updates from her which helped ease our worries about the care of our pets. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs. We will definitely be using her again and already reserved her for our next trip. Thank you Allison!!

Karlie took such great care of our pup while we were away more than 2 weeks on vacation. Her updates & pictures let us know how happy Athena was & she took great care of our house too (even dealing with some water in our basement which hadn’t happened before in 20 yrs in the house). We are so thankful to have had her & would totally recommend her!!

Layla was amazing. She took great care of my 3 pups, hung out with them through a terrible storm, and I came home to an immaculate home and 3 happy dogs. Layla kept me updated through the weekend, so I knew my dogs were being well loved and well cared for. I will definitely use her again!
