“My husband and I are really happy that Savannah came and house/pet sit for us. She did an outstanding job! We give her 12 paws up because we have 3 dogs and they will agree! She was truly amazing with our dogs, they simply love her! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to get away from home for a little while. One of our dogs are anti social and Savannah brought her out of that! We have never seen Missy interact with anyone but she loves Savannah!! You can rest assure when you hire Savannah she won't let you down. My husband and I are very comfortable and relaxed with her and our dogs too! We will be hiring her back if she's available when we need her.”

“Phenomenal work from this amazing woman! Our pets had a great time for the week we were gone and my cat even welcomed her immediately upon meeting when normally he would avoid new people. Definitely an animal whisperer and most importantly an animal lover! Thank you so much for giving our 4 pets such quality care and treating them so well we are so grateful for your service and kindness to our fur babies 🫶🏼”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love and understanding of animals. I have a Great Dane of my own, so I’m experienced with large breeds and know how to handle dogs of all sizes with confidence and care. I’m also planning to become a veterinarian, so I’m passionate about animal health, behavior, and giving pets the best care possible. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog needing extra patience and comfort, I treat every animal like my own — with love, attention, and respect. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I already spend time walking, feeding, and playing with my Great Dane, so caring for other pets fits easily into my routine. I love staying active and spending time with animals, whether that means morning walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Since I’m passionate about becoming a veterinarian, I enjoy using every opportunity to learn more about different animals and their needs — so pet care isn’t just part of my routine, it’s something I truly look forward to every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, walks, and plenty of playtime or cuddles depending on their personality. I pay close attention to any instructions about feeding, medications, or habits, and I love giving photo updates so owners know their pets are happy and safe.

I currently have two lovely cats of my own (Rocky and Mocha). I also have two dogs (Lucy and Mufasa) and dozens of chickens! I am extremely passionate and dedicated to giving quality care to my favorite fur babies! I have been regularly volunteering at a local cat rescue and doggy daycare since I was 14 years old. I am comfortable administering oral medication. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry loved with someone you hardly know- I try my best to make this experience as easy and smooth as possible for everyone! We’ll schedule a meeting (unless it’s a last minute booking!) and discuss routines, medication, diet specifications, and anything else we may need to go over!

“Miriam was an attentive overnight sitter for my two senior pups. Provided lots of pictures and videos and kept me up to date on their meals! Will book her again next out of town trip!”

About: Hi, all! Years of living with and caring for pets and working as a veterinary assistant has led me to be attentive, knowledgeable, and most importantly, so loving to any and all animals. I currently care for a pup, cat and ducks in my life. I intend to care for your pet as if it were my own! I am easy-going, flexible and willing to abide by any reasonable requests in care-taking. This won’t be considered “work” for me. It’s a bonus for the joy of spending time with and caring for animals and helping out pet parents as well :) I hope to meet you and your pet soon! Krista E. As far as my schedule, I am completely open during the daytime. I work evening shifts five days a week, but my schedule changes weekly. For walking: 1-2 walks a day from the hours of 8-3. I can also do night walks on days that I work, outside of the hours of 3-10ish, depending on the day. If I am off, I can walk at any time in the day or evening. I am willing to make multiple visits in a day. For House Drop-Ins: Similar to above, the evening times may vary. For House Sitting: I receive my schedule weekly, so I am available for overnight at least twice a week. However, if consecutive days are needed, I will be available for morning and afternoon care, but will have to leave for work and return afterward at night. Again, this time varies, so it will be either 3-8:30/9ish that I am gone, or 4-10/11ish. I can understand if this is an issue, but am willing to walk during the day, feed, and let out for a potty break as soon as I am able. I do not accept pets in my home because of the other animals already here, but as far as in yours, I am clean, courteous, quiet, respectful, and most importantly, there to keep your pet well-cared for, entertained, and at ease.
About: Hi! We have over 9 years of pet sitting and taking care of pet experience! I used to work in a dog shelter where there was a quick need for dogs in quick care and for fun playtimes! My husband and I take care of dogs together it helps me especially if the dog is very big and tuff! We are very organized and we are quick to get tasks done. Rey is also bilingual in Spanish and English just in case so there’s no language barrier We also have 2 sweet dogs of our own. We genuinely love dogs and we just love to see them happy it doesn’t take them much to please them and to make their day which we truly have the experience and capability to be able to do that for your dog :) Rey works a part time as a paralegal. She spaces out hours for pet care so she can be able to give any potential furry friend the care that is needed! :) We live in a home with a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs have plenty of safe space to play, explore, and get exercise. We are in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood and make sure every dog in our care receives lots of love, attention, and supervision. We understand life can get busy or unexpected plans can come up, so we are happy to accommodate same-day bookings when available to help provide reliable care when you need it most. Whether your pet enjoys relaxing, playing outside, or staying active, we strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. We treat every pet like family and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and routine.

“THE ABSOLUTE BEST! That is where I start. We had to book him in a pinch and we were able to get a meet and greet in with Khalil and our 3(65# plus) dogs. The meet and greet went great and he showed up on time 3 days later. We received photos every single day. He stayed in our home and was able to keep them entertained while there. The photos we received they were always looking happy. We were gone for 10 days and when we came back it was like we had just left with the house being clean. Khalil stayed in our guest room. We didn't ask him to but he took the sheets off of the bed and put them in the laundry room. The dishes he had used were put in the dishwasher. Main thing was to take care of our dogs and he went above and beyond on that! We will absolutely recommend Khalil to anyone and everyone looking for short and long term stays. Khalil was very responsive. We will be going back to him when we have to be out of town again. Khalil made it so easy to trust that they would be in good hands and taken care of the entire time. I could go on and on. An overall phenomenal experience.”

Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or playtime, I treat every dog like my own.” A SAHM whose child has just started school. Looking to fulfill my days by helping with your fur baby.

About: Experienced dog sitter providing loving, reliable care for all breeds. Prioritizes safety, routines, and happy pups while keeping owners updated for complete peace of mind. I work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule to easily fit in dog sitting. This lets me provide attentive, consistent care whenever needed. I care for dogs in their own homes, maintaining their routines and comfort. This helps reduce stress and ensures they feel safe and happy while you’re away.
About: I am an active triathlete, so your pet will have plenty of exercise and entertainment! My own dog is a pitbull mix, so I have experience with aggressive breeds and large breeds. My family dog I take care of when my parents travel is a senior, so I have experience with senior care. I work a hybrid schedule, and days I am home are very flexible as well as weekends. For a typical home sitting job I will do a morning walk and breakfast, midday walk during my lunch, and evening meal and walk. If your dog cannot sleep alone, I can bring them to my home to sleep in a large crate with a clean bed. I am very active, so whether you have a fenced in yard or a neighborhood or would allow me to drive your dog to a nearby trail, they'll have engagement while you are away. I am also proficient in belly rubs, so your dog will have cuddles and comfort. If your dog comes to my home, I have a fenced in yard they can run in while my dog enjoys his sunbathing. In my home dogs are crated while I am away for their safety.

About: I’m a huge animal lover 🥰 and have about 14 years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, but mostly smaller breeds. I’ve been around dogs and helping take care of them since I was 11, and I enjoy giving the love, attention, and care they need. I also volunteered at an animals shelter for about 6 months, giving me the chance to work with dogs in need. We have about 4 dogs total in my family, so sometimes I will have 1, or 2, or none at home with me I am new to the city so as of right now, I am not employed. I have open availability to care for all of your pets needs. My weekly routine is pretty simple. I do computer work, play the game, call my family (literally almost every day) and work out from time to time. Animals tend to be pretty comfortable with me. I would love to hang out and spend some time with your pet, maybe watch a series together or go for a walk if the weather is right. I’m a Starbucks type of a girl, so pup cups are always an option
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, so caring for them feels completely natural to me. From energetic puppies to sleepy senior dogs, I have experience handling dogs at every stage of life. I’m patient, attentive, and well adapted to managing everything from playtime and walks to administering medication or cleaning up little accidents. I genuinely love animals and all unique personalities and needs for all types of dogs. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority. Available for full-time and part-time care all days of the week. Please reach out for any needed details! I will be more than happy to assist you in any way. I will accommodate all schedules, personalities, and special needs to ensure a trustworthy, safe environment. From administering medications, to walking only in certain areas, to feeding certain foods, I will keep to that so your little one’s feels comfortable.
“Sarah was wonderful. We were gone for 4 days total and she stayed at our home with our 2 dogs. Sarah sent multiple photos and videos each day and combination leading up to the weekend was great. Definitely plan to have her watch our sweet dogs again! We were so very appreciative of her!”

“Haley stayed with our two pups this Christmas Eve while we were out of town. She was very friendly, communicative and arrived for drop in visits and the overnight stay as agreed upon. She sent pics today and our dogs looked very content with her. We will definitely be using her the next time we need a sitter.”
