“Emmanuel did a phenomenal job taking care of my three dogs while we were away. He gave them extra attention, followed instructions to a T and kept me updated throughout our trip. I truly appreciate him and glad for his prompt response.”


“Madison was incredible! It was my first time leaving my puppy with a sitter and I was a little skeptical during my search, but when I reached out to Madison, she suggested we do a meet and greet to get to know each other and my puppies, which really put my mind at ease. She sent me multiple pictures and videos throughout the day along with updates. She also trained my puppy to sit and got her on the right track for potty training, along with other tricks and manners. I will definitely be booking again with Madison in the future, whether it be for a drop in visit or a week long trip! Thank you so much, Madison for taking such good care of Millie and teaching her as well!”


“Susan was wonderful. My pups loved her. Very friendly and experienced. Would highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again.”


“Allana did great with my puppy! She was super flexible with what we needed and made sure to be attentive with my puppy both inside the house and when she took him on walks. He was comfortable enough to eat, sleep, and play with her! We came back to a puppy who was out for the rest of the night! It can be really hard to leave your puppy with someone, especially in your own home, (my puppy is only 4 months) but allana did a great job and I’d hire her again.”


“Alexandria did a great job, our doggy Ruger is a nervous boy and she stayed with him and was in good hands. She also cared for our cat and even sent a picture when he deigned to show his presence.”


“Parris was great! Shee was reliable and the dogs seemed to love her. She walked them and played with them while we were gone. Will definitely call on her again!”


“We have booked Gracie for a few different services now. Most recently Gracie house sat for me and did a great job! Thank you Gracie for always being a great house guest and keeping my anxiety at bay with all your updates.”


About: I’ve been caring for pets professionally for over 10 years, and I have several dogs of my own, so I truly understand that pets are family. What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and attention I give every animal in my care just like I do with my own. I have experience with all ages and sizes, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra TLC. I’m confident giving medications, handling special diets, and maintaining routines that help your pet feel safe and at home. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or slow, gentle walks, I’ll tailor my care to fit their unique needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, secure, and happy while you're away and to give you peace of mind with updates and photos along the way! I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, around-the-clock care for your pet. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a specific feeding or medication schedule, I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs throughout the day. The best part? My work can come with me, so your pet never has to be alone for long! I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most secure. I follow all routines and instructions closely to maintain a calm, familiar environment. From feedings and walks to medication and playtime, I handle every task with care and attention. I treat your home with the same respect I give your pet clean, tidy, and secure. You can count on me for consistent updates, so you always know your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

“Alexis was great! We have only left our girl with family in the past, so we were nervous to leave her with a new person at first, but Alexis made us feel comfortable that Millie was going to be spoiled while we were away (and she definitely was!). Thanks Alexis for making us feel at ease, we didn't have a single worry about her while we were gone. ❤️”


“Absolutely a fantastic sitter! I felt SO assured that my boy was going to be taken care of while I was out of state. Nothing but good vibes! Even with my flight being delayed on the night I came back, she still made sure to hang out with him a little later. I could tell my pup was well fed and played with while I was away. Could not ask for a better sitter!!!”


“Absolutely amazing. Our pups loved her and she left us the sweetest note ever. Will definitely book again!”


About: I have been taking care of and helping dogs from puppies to seniors since I was 10 years old. I have always loved fur babies, so when my family started fostering I was so excited. Now I have so much knowledge of how to care for and love on our furry friends. I work part-time, so I am frequently available to care for your furry loved ones! I tend to work short shifts during the day, meaning your fur babies will not be left alone for long. My schedule is also flexible, so I will do my best to work you in, especially in an emergency. I have a heart full of love to give. I have a vehicle and don't mind driving whenever and wherever needed. I will gladly send you photo updates of your pets, play with them to their hearts content, fill up their bellies, empty their bellies and give them lots of cuddles.

“Michaela was the best dog sitter ever! She sent me so many pictures so that I always knew what Poppy was up to, and even left me with a little souvenir polaroid of Poppy. :) She also sent me pictures of my turtles, who she wasn't even responsible for caring for. I would definitely recommend her services!”


“Erin was amazing with my dogs! She went above and beyond while house sitting! She sent me pictures and kept me updated on how they were doing the whole time. She is dependable & trustworthy. I highly recommend her to anyone. ?”


About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind since I was 9. Family, neighbors, and friends all rely on me to keep their pets safe and happy. While sometimes life can be crazy I always make time when I’m in town to help you feel at ease when you are out of town. I don’t do boarding, but I am happy to follow instructions on how you would like me to take care of your fur babies to keep them happy and safe.

“Esmerelda is a wonderful sitter! She always took pictures of my fur babies and she updated me daily on how they started to become more friendly with her. She even took the time to sweep up the litter that was tracked and took out the trash. I have no complaints about Esmerelda and I would definitely have her look after my kitties again!”


About: I love dogs, been around them all my life and I love taking care of them. Love to have fun with them and take them out to enjoy the air when it's nice out. Love the dog parks also and building a relationship with the dogs and puppies I care for. They're so full of life and getting to know them and making them my best friend is very important to me. I also love to get to know my clients as well and build a relationship with them and trust so they can see I work well with others and their pets. Building a relationship with ur clients is most important to me and to them also. They need to trust you in their home and with their pets

About: I have over 15 years of experience with pets. Friends and neighbors regularly trust me with their pets because they know I’m dependable, calm, and truly love animals. I create a safe, low-stress environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for like family. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or sticking to their routine, I’m committed to making sure your pup feels at home while you’re away. As someone who’s retired, I have the time and flexibility to fully dedicate myself to pet care. My daily routine is centered around the dogs I watch whether that means long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. I’m home the majority of the time, so your pup will never be left alone for long. This allows me to follow their schedule closely and give them plenty of love and attention. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced yard for outdoor time and play, and my home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly. Dogs are welcome to roam, nap on cozy beds, or play with a variety of toys. I can provide crates if needed, follow any feeding or medication routines, and keep things consistent with what your pup is used to. I only take a small number of pets at a time to ensure plenty of individual attention, snuggles, and supervision throughout the day.

Alexandria did a great job, our doggy Ruger is a nervous boy and she stayed with him and was in good hands. She also cared for our cat and even sent a picture when he deigned to show his presence.

Everything occurred as expected. Emryck took to Fate right-away and appears to have enjoyed himself.

Michaela was so sweet. She sent pictures and updates through out her time caring for our Zoey. Will 100% be reaching out when we need care for Zoey again

Payton is such a sweet and responsible sitter.I would give her 10 stars out if 5 stars!! It was my first time asking someone to watch our dog or use this app. I've contacted several sitters and she was the most reliable and quickest person to respond to all my inquiries.She even offered to have a meet and greet beforehand which gave me such a relief that I could know who would take care of our dog, and how they could get along in advance. While she did a dog sitter, she offered way more than what we asked for and it made us feel that she really cares our dog and treat him like her own family. Word can'r express how great her service was. I would definitely use her service again!!

Mackenzie did a wonderful job taking care of my 4 cats and my dog over the weekend! She texted me when she was on her way to my house, then she kept sending me updates on how they were doing & she even sent me the most adorable pictures of them! Knowing that they had an attentive sitter taking care of them helped me enjoy my time away. The house was clean, water bowls were full & litter boxes empty. Will definitely be calling her again! 👍
