“Cori was amazing and Bella took to her right away !. She sent so many pictures and updates. It made it so much easier being away knowing Bella was happy at home, being loved on and taken care of. Everything went so well and I would recommend Cori 100% Thank you so much Cori 😀”

“Kyle was exactly the type of sitter we were looking for. We found him so personable, friendly and loved our puppies. He did an excellent job and will use him again. This was our first time using River and we were thrilled with this service. Of course Kyle made it a great experience for us and the puppies.”

“Makenzey was nothing short of amazing! She stayed with my girls, she cuddled them as if they were her own. She sent pictures and updates every day that let me know my girls were happy and comfortable with her. She left the house spotless as well. We will definitely call on her again! 5+ ⭐️”

“Cara was AMAZING!!!! She was wonderful with communication and was so great with everything all weekend! From helping dog sit last minute and through TERRIBLE weather - Cara was great through it all and I will definitely request to have her watch my pup again!!”

“Very nice guy. Did a great job taking care of my 3 senior dogs for the weekend. Even cleaned up my yard and I didn’t expect him to do that. Will totally use him again if ever needed.”

“Brandy was absolutely wonderful! First time we’ve ever used in-home dog sitting, and then it was overnight as well. She did everything we expected and more. She took good care of our sassy, Enzo, and moose. It was refreshing to be way, but great to get back home to happy puppies and a happy mama. We will definitely be asking her back to watch sassy and Enzo. If you need someone to watch your pets pick Brandi she’s the best there is.”


About: I work with local shelters and have experience fostering puppies and senior dogs, as well as helping family members watch family pets! I work with training cues, such as sit, down, and shake. I’m currently doing a work from home program and will be home around the clock to help with letting outside to potty, cuddle time, and playing with toys. I have a 6 foot privacy fenced in yard for potty breaks, as well as experience taking for walks. My resident dogs free roam, but I am comfortable with free roaming or crating dogs as needed.
“Marissa was so lovely and will definitely be booking with her again! She stayed at our home and watched our sweet cat Rosie for us while on vacation. She sent us lots of cute pics throughout our trip and kept our baby on the same routine while we were away. She also kept our house in amazing condition. Would recommend her to anyone!😊”

About: As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’ve personally raised and cared for animals of all ages, from rambunctious puppies and curious kittens to calm and loving senior pets and I’ve seen several of my own pets through their full life spans. This has given me deep experience in providing age-appropriate care, whether that means extra playtime and training for younger pets or gentle attention and medication support for seniors. I’m comfortable and experienced with most dog and cat breeds, from small lap dogs to large, energetic pups, and from independent cats to cuddly companions. I know that every animal has a unique personality and needs, and I take pride in getting to know each one individually to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. One of the biggest advantages I offer is that I work from home full time. That means your pet will never be left alone for long periods and will get consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a calm environment, lots of affection, structured routine, or just someone to hang out with, I’m here to provide that kind of care in a homey, stress-free setting. I genuinely treat every animal I care for like family, and that means tons of love, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home full-time, my schedule is very flexible, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent care and companionship. I build my day around the pets I’m caring for, whether that means morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or cuddle breaks in between work tasks. I love having animals around; they bring joy, routine, and energy to my day. I have a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, fresh air, and play. My home is pet-friendly and full of love my kids adore animals and enjoy helping care for them, offering even more companionship for your pet while they’re here. We also have a sweet 3-year-old dog named Storm, who’s been around both dogs and cats her whole life. She’s laid-back, friendly, and used to having furry friends around. Because I don’t have to commute or leave the house for long periods, I’m able to give pets my full attention and adjust to their individual needs, including potty breaks, medications, or just some quiet time if they’re more relaxed. On weekends, I enjoy taking dogs on longer walks or play sessions in the yard or at nearby pet-friendly parks (with your permission, of course). Caring for pets isn’t just something I squeeze into my schedule, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. When pets stay in my home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home. I start by learning about their routine, habits, and preferences so I can maintain consistency with feeding, potty breaks, sleep, and play. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to run in the yard or prefers to nap in a quiet corner, I adjust my care to meet their individual needs. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. Inside, pets have free roam of the main living areas, unless you prefer otherwise. I offer plenty of one-on-one attention, including playtime, snuggles, and positive reinforcement. For pets that need a crate, I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep their routine consistent. I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I also have a friendly dog named Storm who’s used to being around both dogs and cats. Cleanliness, safety, and affection are my top priorities. I make sure pets always have access to clean water, follow any dietary or medical needs, and create a calm, welcoming environment where they can feel right at home.
About: I’ve taken care of family and friends dogs for more than 4 years now. I am skilled at caring for dogs and cats. I do well with caring for them, walking them, giving them lots of love and attention! I can do mornings, afternoons and evenings. I am able to stay overnight in locations and work very hard to work with the family for what they need. I prefer to stay with dogs in their own residence. I will follow instructions as given and make sure to care for the dogs in a kind way.
About: Reliable, caring, and experienced with pets of all kinds! I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and I’m comfortable handling everything from feeding and playtime to walks and litter boxes. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work a few mornings each week, but I have flexible hours and can stop by anytime to take care of pets. Since I’m mostly online for school, I can give pets lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. At my home, pets are safe, comfortable, and loved. I make sure they have food and water on schedule, plenty of playtime and attention, and a clean area to relax. I’m experienced with both cats and dogs, including kittens and puppies, and I enjoy keeping pets active, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and have always had a deep love for them. I trained my dachshund myself, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog’s individual needs. I’ve had my dog Pepper since 2019, and caring for her has only strengthened my passion for dogs. I genuinely enjoy being around people who love dogs as much as I do, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I structure my daily and weekly routine around feeding schedules because my dog is diabetic, and make regular checkups to ensure my pets receive consistent care and attention. I’m reliable, organized, and intentional about making time for every pet I care for. I believe the best care is a mix of routine and fun. I follow your pet’s normal schedule for meals, walks, and breaks, while also making sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and one-on-one attention. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: a comfortable, happy pet who feels right at home (and maybe a little spoiled).
About: Growing up, I lived on a small farm and have been around animals my whole life. I’ve taken care of other peoples pets as well. I’m currently a teacher, and I will have more availability during the the summer. Right now I’m free on the weekends and also some evenings. I have a fenced in yard as well as my own golden doodle. He loves to have friends over and is very friendly and playful. We also have a Ragdoll kitten that is super sweet and friendly.
About: We are a small family with sweet boy who loves animals and have 1 dog of our own. We would love to house your dog and take extra special care of your family member, just as if they were our family member! We have a wonderful large backyard with plenty of room to play, and a guest bedroom for your pet to enjoy. Our yard has been sprayed to reduce fleas and other bugs. I work nights so I don't take pets on nights I work to be fair to the animals. We will NOT accept a pet that has not been fixed. Please understand we may have multiple dogs staying in the house at once, and a dog that is not fixed can cause undue problems. I currently work as a server so my schedule varies but I’d rather flexible. We can’t take dogs overnight due to having 5 dogs in the house but can do anything else. We can’t take dogs at home but I would always ensure your dog is loved and cared for as our own is. Whatever you need to feel comfortable leaving your fur child.

About: I have both personal and professional experience with dogs. Not only have I grown up with my own pets, but I also work at a kennel and doggy day camp. I’m working to become a service dog trainer, but have expanded my knowledge of dogs to include basic baths and nail trims as well. I currently work part time at a kennel, so I’m usually away from home for 4+ hours on Tuesdays. However, I have an amazing family who also has some experience watching other pets and they often help out when I need to leave for work. Pets aren’t often left alone for very long. I also work a few other days, but they are consistent hours. Should my clients board at my home, I have a fenced in backyard on a half acre, ensuring that dogs have plenty of space to run. I often continue my days as normal as possible if pets are present for consistency. They are under a close watch from a family member most of the time. When at a client’s home, I try to ensure that the dog’s routine is as stable as possible. I will sometimes take some time off depending on the length of the stay to be better present for the dog.
“Brenna was absolutely INCREDIBLE as a pet sitter. My dog and cat both have quirks; I have a large rescue pitbull mix who is reactive to other dogs and I really worry about leaving her with people. Brenna was absolutely amazing with her, kept her safe and happy, and even continued the counter conditioning training I've been doing with her. She sent tons of pictures and updates every day which was amazing for my peace of mind; she clearly really loved my animals like I do. I have never had a better, more reliable pet sitter and I'm just bummed I hadn't found her earlier because not all my past pet sitters have been great. I honestly feel like I hit the jackpot with Brenna as a sitter and I'll definitely be reaching out to her again for my next trip.”


About: Hello everyone! I’ve been a pet sitter for as long as I can remember — starting with family friends, then growing through referrals, and even including my college dean. In high school I volunteered regularly at 5 Acres Animal Shelter, where I cared for cats in the Kitty Cottage and helped socialize dogs by taking them on outings and to special events. Fun fact: my college dean and their wife found one of my pet-sitting ads, and I spent four years as their in-home dog sitter! Between my boyfriend and I we have two cats and a dog. Let's just say they are spoiled rotten! I am a full time engineer at local company. For in house pet sitting, if your pet cannot go up to 8 hours being home alone on the week days we may not be a good fit! But on the weekends I can assure you that they will not be left alone longer than 3 hours. I do require a written out schedule and or pet habits (such as when they get fed, when they usually go outside, how many walks a day, how often to scoop litter, where supplies are) to ensure we have crystal clear directions! That way I can clarify anything before you leave! Please message me and we can discuss your pet's schedule! I do not provide pet sitting in my home due to I have pets of my own. I can assure you that in your home your fur baby will be well loved and cared for. As I have years of in home pet sitting I can assure you that your home will be cleaner than you left it, you will have an ample of fur baby pictures I have sent to your phone and most importantly a stress-free happy fur baby. Please message me with any questions!

Brandy is the best! She has watched our big fluffs twice now and we already booked her for future dates. She’s always asking if we need anything else on top of all the stuff she has already done! She is prompt and communicative which keeps my anxiety at bay. Travel has become less stressful knowing my babies are at home safe. You can tell she likes animals and take good care of them. We are grateful to have come across her profile.

Kyle was exactly the type of sitter we were looking for. We found him so personable, friendly and loved our puppies. He did an excellent job and will use him again. This was our first time using River and we were thrilled with this service. Of course Kyle made it a great experience for us and the puppies.
