“Kim was amazing! She really has the ability to connect with your pups and is professional, communicative, friendly and just all around great! It was my first booking with her and I will definitely be asking for her again! She left the house as if I was never gone (even fixed a light for me!). My babies enjoyed her and I know they were well cared for which made my trip so much more enjoyable without having to worry! I would definitely refer anyone to her, hands down! (Just don’t book her when I need her! :) thanks Kim. You’re awesome!!!!!!”
“Katlyn took excellent care of my dog. She was attentive and consistent with his feeding schedule, took him on several walks, and kept me regularly updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands.”
“With no notice Chandler quickly accepted our repeat booking and activity engaged in communication and exchanged on care coordination for our pet. Additionally when I noticed an error in the coverage days I needed she responded immediately and stepped in to cover what was needed. Great help when we needed it without issue. Will use again.”
“Desiree was an absolute pleasure to have watch our cat and our home. She went above and beyond with twice daily pictures. We will definitely be having Desiree next time we go out of town.”
“Michael was wonderful with our 4-year old lab mix, Vito. He sent pics multiple times a day and kept our pup happy while we were gone. We would definitely book Michael again!”
“Colby was super communicative, timely and attentive to our cats’ needs, and took fantastic photos of our loved ones while we were away. Will be booking with him again in the future!”
“I can’t thank Brian enough for how well he cared for our boys. One of our dogs is a loud barker and quite rambunctious and he was calm within minutes around Brian. He sent pictures throughout our time away and we came home to two tired happy dogs. Hank and Henry will be excited to have Brian stay again in the future! As will we - our house was tidy when we came home, just like we never left!”
About: I bring a fresh, devoted perspective to pet sitting, caring for hyperactive, senior, sibling, and loud dogs with patience, love, and genuine passion unmatched by lifelong dog owners. With classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pups! The rest of my week is wide open, giving me the flexibility to provide dogs with attentive, loving care. I care for pets in their own homes with love and reliability, having dog sat while owners were out of town, always remaining respectful and responsible toward their property. Save & Continue
About: I have taken care of dogs since the young age of 8 years old, ranging from all sizes, ages, and breeds for family, friends, and clients (who have become friends). I make sure each fur baby's needs are met. I currently work full-time during the week, but I am available for overnight house/dog sitting. I am also free most weekends for boarding as needed. I have a small fenced patio with a doggy door and an outdoor camera. I am also able to easily create as needed. I will take care of your fur baby as if they were mine.
About: Ever since I was a kid, I've taken care of a number of animals. My neighbors have put their trust in me to watch and take care of their animals for a couple of days. I've volunteered numerous times at the Animal Shelter near me to care for and walk the dogs who are in need of a home. I'm a full-time student in Arizona but my schedule is pretty open. I like going on runs and walks. On Monday's I'm available all day after 10:45am. On Wednesday's I'm available all day after 12:15pm. On Friday's and Sunday's I'm available all day. I have two dogs back at home, whom I care for deeply. I love spending time with animals whether they're energetic or laid back. I would never try to make an animal feel uncomfortable, trust and a safe environment is one of my top priorities.
“We had Isadora watch our dog for a full week in our home. She sent regular updates with pictures and videos and kept in constant contact. Took her on walks and left our house clean! We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Taylor was amazing! Literally played with Zara all week and gave her all the attention and cuddles. Taylor followed Zara’s schedule and routine perfectly and asked questions when she had them!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since childhood and have been trusted by neighbors and family friends/members to care for their pets. I love animals and will use any excuse to hangout with furry friends! I am in college and have ample time in the mornings, nights, and between classes to care for your pets! I can provide your dog relaxing exercise to more high intensity, such as running. I understand everyone has their own system for their pets and I will follow and respect those specifics when I care for your dog or cat
“Rachel was fantastic! She stayed with our dog for 6 nights and kept us updated with text and photos. He has some separation anxiety and she did a great job of making sure he had company while we were away. The house was left spotless when we returned after a long day of travel, which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend her!”
“Michael and Nichole did a wonderful job sitting our puppy River at our home for a couple of days. They kept us up to date on how he was doing and provided photos. We returned to a happy and healthy puppy. We will definitely be booking their services again!”

This was the 2nd time Alan watched our two dogs and I feel blessed to have someone so competent to take care of our fur babies. Alan kept the girls safe, active, and happy and updated us twice a day via texts and pictures. When our flight was delayed he stayed with them until we landed. You know your pets will be well taken care of if Alan is taking care of them.
Audrey watched our two fur babies while we were out of town in our home. She was an excellent communicator before and during our trip. We loved getting daily pup-dates with pictures. She followed all the daily routines including giving medication. Our house was left in excellent condition when her time was finished. We would recommend her and use her again in the future.
We are so grateful to have Jocelyn as our pup sitter! She cares for our fur babies like they’re part of her family. Our sweet Labrador Blaze has separation anxiety. I was worried that he would hide the whole time she was there. Jocelyn had the opposite effect! Blaze was interactive, happy, and snuggly with Jocelyn. She also gave our loving, puppy Emmy, all the added attention, energy and playtime that she requires. She also went above and beyond to work with Emmy on her leash walking skills. Jocelyn sent daily updates and photos, which we loved receiving every day. We also had major travel issues and delays returning home from our international trip. Jocelyn came to our rescue to ensure the pups were taken care of AND even helped us post some time-sensitive travel documents with the utmost care and professionalism. As a dog mama I am extremely selective as to who will look after our pups. I’m just so thankful we found Jocelyn! She is very special to our pups and us!
Booked Brian again on short notice as we had some holiday travel come up. He did an amazing job as expected. Very thoughtful and attentive with our dog. Extremely communicative with us throughout our trip. He is definitely a reliable house and pet sitter! Thanks Brian!
reina is absolutely delightful and took great care of the cats! we have a complicated situation bc our kitties have to be separated when we travel and one of my cats has to be fed wet food four times a day. reina took it all in stride and the kitties all looked happy as clams in the photos she sent (even our two shy cats).
Jamie was absolutely wonderful to have as a house sitter for our hound. She was available at short notice and asked thoughtful questions before booking. She kept our home pristinely clean. Pup seemed so pleased with their time together and she followed our (overly detailed) care instructions to a t. Would gladly rebook should the opportunity arise.
Such a great experience! Came and stayed in our home with our fur babies for a week over Christmas. One of our dogs was also taking medicine for his skin and he made sure he got it! Our home was still clean when we got home and our babies were very happy! Will be booking again!
Had Rachel sit for my dog while I as out of town over Christmas and it worked out great. Rachel is easy to communicate with and it’s nice to have her stay at the house so my dog stay in familiar surroundings when I’m gone. She helped with deliveries, giving medication and even stayed longer when my flights were delayed (for 12 hours) which I really appreciated. Thanks Rachel for all the great help and for taking such great care of Coco!
Amazing service, as always! Great communication before and during the stay - I always feel so secure getting the regular updates, with photos, a few times a day. (I have let her know that I do like those, although I’m sure if you didn’t want to be bothered she would provide them less frequently.) My home and my pup were both in great shape when I returned. There was a chance my flight may have been delayed and they let me know they were flexible with coming back if needed, which takes a lot of stress out of it. Thanks as always - highly recommended!
