Felisha was amazing. My cats generally hide from everyone and one of them was out and interacting with her each time she came. She took amazing photos and left great check-in notes. She also was not phased by my last minute request to administer medication due to finding out my cat required a few weeks of antibiotics only a few days before we left. Would recommend Felisha to everyone and will definitely hire her again!

Mackenzie was great! She came as scheduled, communicated very well, and followed our instructions. She took extra time to get to know us and our dog beforehand. Lucy loved her and was a happy pup when we returned. I will definitely be hiring Mackenzie again and I highly recommend her!

Megan was great for our two dogs! She was so detailed with her visits and sent us lots of pictures (mostly of our dogs lounging on the couch, because that's what they love to do!) She made us feel so comfortable knowing our dogs were being well taken care of! I would definitely recommend her!

Kelsey was wonderful with my cat, Luna! I left for 6 days and Kelsey was great about coming around the same time, spending quality time with Luna during her visit and even went above and beyond by bringing in my trash can and stopping a beeping fire alarm! I would definitely book with Kelsey again. She sent lots of photos and gave me updates each day!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15 years of experience caring for my own dog and 12 years of dog-sitting for friends and neighbors. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing loving, dependable care tailored to their individual needs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications, special diets and subcutaneous fluids, and understand the extra patience and attention they may require. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I work remotely from home and have a very flexible schedule most days of the week. I'm available to walk the dog at least 4 times a day and take care of all additional needs throughout the day. I care for pets in a client's home exactly to the owner's specifications. I follow the same schedule/routine that the dog is used to, so they can easily adjust to my presence.

I needed a sitter for my 2 Huskies last minute and Sam was able to jump in and do an awesome job taking care of them for the day. Smart, on time does what she says, and the dogs love her. Can't ask for anything more. Will definitely be using her again for future dog sitting, thanks again!

About: I’m a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 5 years of hands-on experience working in a specialty hospital, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and medical needs. I’m trained to notice subtle changes in behavior or health and can handle medications, special diets, and extra attention with confidence. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. My schedule is consistent, and I work five days a week, which means I’m available for drop-in visits on weekends and dog walking on weekdays after 4 PM. This allows me to provide reliable evening walks during the week and more flexible, attentive care on weekends when I have additional availability. I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. As a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 5 years of experience in a specialty hospital, I’m held to high professional and ethical standards every day. Pet owners trust me with their animals’ health and safety in a clinical setting, and I bring that same level of responsibility and attention to detail into pet sitting. I’m trained to handle emergencies, follow care instructions precisely, and recognize when something isn’t right. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in capable, reliable, and compassionate hands.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have my own Bernese Mountain Dog, Bear, so I’m very comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. Over the past 8+ years, I’ve helped care for pets of friends, family, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, bathing, and providing lots of attention and playtime. I’m very patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I now also have two cats. I work during the day, but I’m available for pet care before work, after work, and on weekends. I’m reliable with timing and can adjust my schedule when needed to make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and exercise. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience handling both calm and high-energy dogs, and I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions. I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean environment and feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind!

About: I am Petrina, a retired Social Worker, who would LOVE to care for your pets after 35 years of caring for the humans. With just Mario, (my little guy) and me my life style is one of yoga, reading, walking, crafts, biking, cooking just relaxed living and good health. I have experience with dog sitting for my friends. Friends call on me for reliable, safe care of their pets, and I have never failed them. My environment is very dog friendly. The family room goes out to a large plush green space backyard, that is fence secured, with birds, squirrels, chipmunks and hopping frogs for fun. Here pets have active play, rest, relaxation and voiding. This family room can be closed off for potty training if necessary. However, entire home is accessible to pets all day long. A typical day is purposeful, with varied degrees of activity, (depending on needs of pet), and filled with attentive love. A long walking trail and dog park are adjacent to my subdivision where I can take a slow or active walk with lots of socialization if needed and desirable. Pets can really sleep in dog beds or cages or with me or Mario. I can accommodate all special needs pets and have extensive experience with medication administration to cats and dogs.

Lahonna did a great job. She was friendly and my dogs like her, that's important. She did a great job washing their dishes, most sitters don't. She cares about her work. It shows. I feel like if I'm leaving town I can count on her.

About: Hi, I'm Lucy! I'm a lover of all things small, cute, and fluffy. I've grown up around yorkies, pomeraninans, and other small breeds so I know them best - their unique, sweet, loving, and sometimes yappy souls hold a special place in my heart. ;) I love and respect these kind creatures with everything in me! My rescue dog ended up being pregnant! So I learned how to care for 4 pom ups from birth. I love to connect and care for animals with the same attention, warmth, and kindness I would want for my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets for vacation, so I want to create a safe space in my care that you and your dogs feel comfortable with! I send lots of detailed updates and photos of your furbaby :) My profile is new! So I would be honored to earn your trust to be your sitter - i'm happy to set up a meet and greet before we lock in the real dates to make you more comfortable if you prefer! I work full time remotely, so I have flexibility to pop in as needed. I have full weekend availability and can usually do mornings and evenings on weekdays, or afternoons if you are nearby. When in a clients home, I treat it with extreme respect. I tread lightly and only come in to care for your pets and take boundaries seriously as this is your personal space, your comfort is my priority!

About: I have been a part time dog sitter, cat sitter, house sitter, etc since I was 10 years old. I've also been a volunteer at my local animal shelter since I was 15. I've taken care of old dogs, young dogs, energetic dogs, couch potato dogs, friendly dogs, shy dogs, big dogs, small dogs, you name it. I've been doing this a long time and I've gotten really good understanding each pet and their individual needs. Every dog is different, and I love them all. I also have experience with dogs who need medications and ear drops, and I am Red Cross certified in Pet First Aid! This is my passion, and I do this full time! Helping owners have peace of mind when they have to leave their buddies behind for a bit, and keeping pets company and giving them love and care, that's extremely rewarding for me. Being helpful, compassionate, and spending time with animals is the dream. I can't imagine doing anything else! Firstly, I want to say I understand meeting people online and inviting them into your home can be very anxiety inducing, and I want to reassure you that with me, your pet, your house, and your belongings are safe. If you have ANY questions or concerns, let me know. I'm here to help!

Mackenzie was amazing and super reliable! She took care of our cats, visiting twice a day (morning and late afternoon), and she was always fantastic. She sent us photos during her visits, which we really appreciated. The cats loved her - you could totally tell by the expressions on their faces in the photos! Highly recommended, I will definitely reach out to her again next time!

Mandy was excellent with our senior, blind dog. She sent pictures, and she cuddled and pet our little baby. Our dog lost his mom suddenly (my mother in law). We needed the sitter for her celebration of life. He has been sad and trying to adjust to my home and routines. Mandy made him feel loved and we also appreciated that. ❤️
