1. Taryn T.

“Taryn is wonderful. We will definitely hire her again. She’s very pleasant and great with our pets. They warmed to her immediately. She’s a problem solver (we had a minor plumbing issue which she solved on her own but contacted us). She stays in touch just enough so we know all is well but not so much that we can’t enjoy our time away. She went above and beyond. Excellent pet and house sitter!”


2. Ruslan A.


“Russ exceeded every expectation. Constant communication, pictures, and play with our three animals. I would trust and hire him any time to watch our animals, stay at our house, and help out with anything we needed. 15/10, if that were possible. He stayed at our house and cared for our 4 month old puppy, our 5 year old terrier, and our 3 year old cat.”


3. Clove L.

“We loved having Clove stay with our pup! It’s such a relief to have a sitter who understands and works with animals so well. I’d recommend Clove to anyone and we can’t wait to book him again.”


4. Ellie V.

“Ellie watched my 10 year old Labrador while my husband and I went on a date night. He absolutely loved her. You can tell she is a true animal lover. Thank you so much, Ellie!!!”


5. Bree M.

“Bree was great! My dog can be high anxiety and Bree handled him well! She was very respectful of my house. I came home to a happy dog and will definitely use her again in the future.”


6. Arrica W.


“Shes very accommodating to my schedule change for work. Updated me often on how my dogs was doing. My dogs always looked happy & well cared for. She was amazing.”


7. Jonathan C.

“Jonathan was phenomenal! I use sitters a lot for work and don’t say that lightly. Ellie was nervous upon meeting since I didn’t introduce her (another sitter cancelled last minute). He waited patiently for her to adjust and she loved him! He also stayed later with her when my flight was delayed. I’m so grateful he was available. He sent videos and photos so I knew she was well cared for. I’d recommend him for your next stay and would use him again!”


8. Vanessa R.


“We loved having Vanessa! Dogs were happy and well taken care of. Vanessa followed all of our requests and answered very quickly. Went above and beyond spending her days with my babies!”


9. Olivia N.

“Amazing caretaker. She went above and beyond to ensure my pets were taken care of. My dog had a cough and she took him to the vet and kept me updated every step of the way. Would recommend her to any pet owner!”


10. Casey C.
“Casey Cook is an amazing pet caretaker! He’s super caring and always makes sure my pet feels safe and happy. He met my dog 2 years ago, and I can always trust him to care for and love him in my absence. I trust him completely, and he’s great at keeping his routine and giving him the attention he needs. Highly recommend!”


11. Kate S.



“Kate is wonderful. She really puts in the extra time to listen to what the owner is working on with their pup! I am impressed by how wonderful she is with dogs and she has a natural ability to make them feel so loved and nurtured.”


12. Erin S.

“Erin is wonderful! She house and dog sat for two weeks. Trustworthy and loving to our two dogs and send photos of them every day. Outstanding communicator. Will use again and again!”


13. Wendy S.

“Stoney loved having Wendy play with him all evening when I couldn’t be there. As a puppy, he needs a lot of attention and Wendy took him on a walk, made sure he went out multiple times and was really intentional in caring for him and just being there with him. She was very flexible with me in my custom booking and made me feel at ease while I was gone for an event. Will definitely be booking with Wendy again!”


14. Randall B.


“Randall took amazing care of our pets, and sent so many pictures. We felt our pets were well cared for and loved while we were away, and he left our house in perfect condition. We will definitely want to use him in the future!”


15. Rachel G.

“We really appreciated that Rachel gave us updates while we were away and included photos of our two dogs. She was responsible and respectful of our home.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I cared for small pets like hamsters and guinea pigs, and later, I helped care for our family dog who lived to be over 15 years old. Toward the end of her life, she was blind and deaf, and I was there for her every step of the way, making sure she was as comfortable and loved as possible. I’ve always been around extended family pets, so animals have been a big part of my life. Recently, I had the joy of pet sitting a puppy for three weeks while the owner was out of the country. It was such a rewarding experience! I’d love the opportunity to care for senior dogs, as I know how important it is for them to have gentle, loving care in a peaceful environment. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a cozy home, perfect for dogs who need a calm, comfortable place to stay. As a homeschool mom who works from home, I have the flexibility and availability to provide consistent, dedicated care for pets. My schedule allows me to be home throughout the day, ensuring that your pet receives plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. Whether it’s daily care or longer stays, I’m able to give pets the love and care they deserve without any interruptions to my routine. I care for pets in my home just like they were my own, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. My home is in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for peaceful walks and playtime. I make sure pets feel at ease with plenty of cozy spaces to rest and relax. Safety is my top priority—I keep a close eye on them at all times and make sure they’re secure indoors and outdoors. I also take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, whether it’s special feeding schedules, medications, or extra attention, so they feel right at home. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my focus, and I’m committed to providing them with a safe, trusting environment during their stay.

About: Animal lover and wannabe veterinarian who has a racing addiction. I run- a lot. If you would like me to give your pet an all-out exercise (while keeping them happy and safe of course) I am a great escort. I have always had dogs and an very comfortable making friends quick with dog speak through chase-and-run-away games, gentle mannerisms, and the best pets. I work best with high-energy animals but can always take any of your furry friends on a nice walk too I usually do 7-12 mile runs for my latest race training 2x a week. A mile or two with your furry friend is an easy pit stop for me. Anything shorter or slower is just as easy I have 3 years of experience caring for patients in hospitals, so I am very equipped to help your dog in any situation. I have only been dogless for maybe 2-3 years in my life. I currently live without or family pets so I’m just looking for someone to let me borrow theirs!


19. Rachel A.
“Rachel has lots of experience with high maintenance and difficult animals including giving meds. She is over the top patient, calm, and loving, and firm when she needs to be to keep pets safe. Rachel is dependable and resourceful. She has taken great care of our dog, always watchful to maintain her very strict diet. I highly recommend Rachel as a caregiver for your pet!”


20. Kadyn Z.

“Kadyn did a wonderful job watching our two kitties and left our apartment better than she found it. She was an excellent communicator and followed all our instructions exactly. Most importantly, our cats both seemed happy and healthy all in the pictures she sent!”
