My dog is old and a challenge at times in regards to having accidents in the house as well as overall “old man” crankiness. Amy was amazing in handling him for the first time and was very patient with him. I cannot say enough good things about her. She is amazing!!!

I would recommend Madison to anyone! She is amazing - super communicative, great care for our two dogs, also nice to have in our home. She went above and beyond for our dog that was on medicine and had to wear a cone during her stay.

Emily was absolutely amazing with our sweet boys. She was very attentive and caring. They loved having her. One of our boys is a bit stubborn and she was so patient with him, he has a hard time warming up to people but loved having her. I would highly recommend Emily to all of my family and friends and will book with her again in the future.

About: I have take care of many different pups of all breeds and personalities. This includes my own, family and friends, volunteering at shelters and even the local dog wash. I'm currently starting school part-time so I'll have plenty of time to walk, take care of, and play with your pets! I'm mostly available with flexibility and depending upon my schedule, some days I'm fully free! I'm very cautious in following instructions and needs of any pet. I'm good at keeping pups at a good walking pace, I love playing with pets to keep them active, and I'll set extra timers and keep set schedules for your pet's eating habits.

Nyah was absolutely wonderful with our baby. She stayed in our home and left everything in impeccable condition. She was communicative and very accommodating when our travel back home was delayed by the airline. She spent extra time with Zuri so that we didn't have to worry about her as we were trying to figure out how to get home sooner. I would recommend her to anyone in need of someone kind, considerate and great with animals. Will definitely book with Nyah again.

Meghan was great! She housesat for us for a few days and did a great job taking care of our three dogs. They can be quite a handful and also require some medication daily. She did a great job communicating and sent plenty of updates. She took great care of our home as well! We will definitely use Meghan again!

About: One thing that sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for a reactive dog of my own. That experience taught me how important patience, consistency, body language awareness, and calm handling are when working with dogs who may be anxious, overstimulated, fearful, or slow to trust new people. Because of that, I’m very mindful of creating a safe, low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable at their own pace. I’m experienced with maintaining routines, managing different energy levels, and recognizing behavioral cues before situations become stressful. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets who need extra patience or structure. I also know how important communication is to pet parents, so I provide reliable updates, photos, and detailed check-ins for peace of mind while you’re away. Because I run my own special education advocacy business, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive pet care throughout the week. My work gives me the ability to accommodate a variety of schedules, including daytime visits, overnight stays, weekends, and many holiday needs. I’m able to plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship rather than rushed drop-ins. Flexibility also means I can better adapt to pets with specific routines, medication schedules, anxiety needs, or extra potty breaks. I care for pets by focusing on keeping their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and affection based on their individual personality and needs. I understand that many pets feel safest in their familiar environment, so I try to maintain the routines they’re used to while also keeping the home clean, secure, and well cared for. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and energy levels so I can adapt care appropriately, whether a pet needs active play, mental stimulation, quiet companionship, or extra patience. My experience owning a reactive dog has made me especially mindful about creating calm interactions and respecting each animal’s comfort level and boundaries.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Indoor or outdoor, I know each animal has a different personality, and I am very patient and understanding when it comes to pets. I’m definitely an animal lover and would love to take care of your pet and provide a positive and enriching experience. Please consider me! ❤️ My primary job is Airbnb management, which is done from mostly my phone, so I have plenty of room to operate off of your time/schedule. I have a fenced in back yard (great for dogs) and a screened in sunroom (cats love it) and am very respectful when it comes to other peoples property.

This is the first time I've ever needed to hire a pet sitter for my senior cat, so I was very nervous about having a stranger in my home and how my fur baby would react. However, Jennifer eased my mind about the whole process. She was understanding and communicative, which was greatly appreciated. This was just an an overnight trip, but she will be taking care of him again soon when I'll be gone longer. It's such a relief to know I can get some R&R knowing that my pet and my home are in good hands. ?

Debbie did a fantastic job taking care of my 4 dogs over the weekend. She was so personable, was excited to meet each dog, and lived on them like they were her own dogs. Debbie also took care of the house, straightened up prior to our return, and even washed the cloths I had left in the washer. I will definitely request Debbie next time I need a sitter.

Ashley was amazing with Harley. I could tell from the first meet and greet that Harley really liked her. She sent photos, took Harley on a walk and kept in contact the whole time. And, my house looked like I never left. I would definitely ask Ashley to keep Harley again.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, and while my parents are away I go over and house sit and take care of their dogs. I also watch my neighbors dogs while they are on vacation. I’m currently working part-time and will be finishing up my college semester. During summer I will have a lot of free time during mid-day to check in on your babies! My dogs are like household members so I treat them with respect and give them lots of love. I take them out, and take them for walks when needed and they love to go for drives (especially when it ends with pupcups.)

About: I like to pay close attention to the detailed care list left by their owners so their pets are happy babies and their routines are met. I love sending pictures and updates to owners so they have a sense of peace when their babies are left with me. I have a great neighborhood for walks to get your baby out of the house if necessary. Please note: my availability is Fridays after 5:30pm. Thank you 💕 I’m currently working full time Monday through Friday. I have pretty relaxed weekends, which makes more time for me to love on your fur babies when you need a weekend away or a planned trip. I live in a condo with a great community that is very safe and a lot of outdoor amenities which makes for a great stroll outside. I had a mini Pomeranian that unfortunately passed due to heart complications in April 2026. So I now spend my free time at home doing crafts or enjoying the sunshine. Maybe your pet would like that too! I would love to here from you and watch your fur babies

Stephen is awesome! He was able to accommodate us even though it was very short notice. We have 2 dogs, a small Maltese and a big Weimaraner. The big one can be imposing when you walk through the door and she barks at you with her hair standing on its ends, but Stephen immediately sat in the floor and let her get it all out of her system without a flinch. He knows how to put the pups at ease! My wife works from home and the dogs are used to someone always being there, Stephen is the first sitter we’ve had (and we’ve tried out several) that showed up with a suitcase! We knew immediately that this guy was what we have been searching for, someone that would basically live in our home while we were away with the sole purpose of watching over our furbabies. And he did his job impeccably! He sent lots of pics and video without us having to ask and was always prompt with a response if we ever needed him. When we returned home the house was still tidy and in order and I’m pretty sure the dogs looked past us trying to figure out where Stephen was, LOL. If you need a drop in visit or someone to come by and walk your dogs this guy can do it all and I promise your pets will look forward to him returning, and if you need someone that will basically live in your home with your furry loved ones while on vacation then look no further you have found the pinnacle of dog sitting! We will definitely use Stephen for any dog sitting needs we have in the future.

Our dogs and our family loved Bethany. She put all our fears at ease, as we have never used a dog sitting service before. Scheduled a meet and greet before hand and was able to see personally that our dogs loved her as well as photos during her stay and updates. Our babies have a new best friend when Mom and Dad can’t be home. ❤️
