5. Alyssa D.

“Alyssa did an awesome job house sitting with our 2 dogs while we were away for 5 days. The dogs bonded with her right away, and she took great care of them. When she came for a meet and greet she was very attentive in learning about their personal needs. She was also very responsive via text and sent updates throughout the stay. Our house was in great shape when we got home. We would definitely rebook with Alyssa in the future and she has our full recommendation!”

“Absolutely amazing with my animals, even when my young cat was being a trouble maker and hiding in the basement.”


7. Darcie B.

“Darcie took fantastic care of all our animals while we were gone. It was my first time using a house sitter so I was a little nervous, but I had nothing to worry about. They came over ahead of time and did a meet and greet so the dogs were comfortable with them and followed all our instructions. I highly recommend Darcie if you’re looking for a house sitter.”


8. Natalie S.
About: every sitter loves animals, but I really do adore animals and I love being able to just enjoy and meet new animals. My special skills with animals is to cuddle! I love making sure the fur babies are taking care of with love and respect! I currently work a full time job, M-T from 7 to 5, which is the main reason of dog sitting on the weekends! I can do full weeks just need to know ahead of time to be able to discuss with work! The best option is to have them at the client’s home, animals are always comfortable when at home and a place they know! It’s already scary that a stranger is in there house but much better than a scary car ride into a new house!


9. Kali L.
“Kali is my favorite pet sitter! She is always our go to for walks, check-ins and boarding. She loves my dogs like her own. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter! She has a pup of her own, who she introduced in the correct way and now our dogs can play together from time to time!”


10. Jordan N.
About: Howdy! My name is Jordan, I'm a reliable pet sitter who understands that every dog has their own personality and pace when it comes to bonds. While I’ve mostly cared for family pets, I’ve yet to meet a dog I couldn’t establish companionship with. Whether that means giving them space to warm up or engaging with them in ways they’re comfortable with. I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I'm juggling multiple freelancing gigs to create a stable income. My project-based work gives me a flexible schedule, though I usually spend Saturdays visiting friends for a couple hours. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I respect each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether that means giving them space to warm up or engaging them in play. Many dogs deserve more activity than they typically get, so I’m always happy to include playtime, whether it’s a game of fetch, light tug-of-war, or just some extra attention and interaction. When we’re not playing, I’m just as happy to relax and offer cuddles for dogs who enjoy affection. No matter their energy level, I aim to make their time with me feel fun, safe, and stress-free.


11. Natalee F.

“Natalee was great! She went above and beyond to keep our house clean even when our German shepherd wasn’t feeling well. She provided amazing updates and our dog and cat absolutely loved her! Will definitely ask for her help again soon!”


12. Alex R.
“Alex is a compassionate person who enjoys taking care of animals. He is a caring and reliable pet sitter and always goes the extra mile to make sure my fur baby is happy! Whether he is pet sitting, taking her for a walk, or just popping in for a quick visit when I’m working late, I can relax knowing my pup is in good hands.”


13. Shealah T.
“Shea did a really good job watching our 4 Siamese cats for us while we were on a 16 day vacation. She was very good at communicating with us and sent us updates of our cats while we were away. She is very reliable and responsible, we trusted her to stay at our house when we were gone, she left the house as clean if not cleaner than when we left it. Would definitely use her again in the future.”


14. Amanda W.
“Amanda is a doting and well equipped caregiver, and she has a compassionate heart for animals of all shapes and sizes. She takes excellent care of my cat whenever I go out of town!”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats. Always loved animals since I was 10 and have taken great care of each and every one of them. Animals aren't just friends they're family. I can take care of animals any time morning afternoon, evening and weekends. I currently don't have any animal's and would love help with yours. I always make sure that the area is free of anything that can particularly hurt or endanger them. I always make sure they take the appropriate amount of medicine if needed.
