Kara was great. She stayed at our house for a week to watch our 5 dogs. She sent us updates and pictures. She left everything at the house just as it was and even did a few extra things like bringing our mail and packages in. Would highly recommend.

About: I have taken care of foster dogs for about 4 years. These dogs were mostly puppies coming from neglect that needed to be housed and trained. Now, I have two pups of my own that I take care of on the daily! I’m currently working part-time, so I have time almost every day to take care of your pups! I am mostly available in the mornings or in the evening. I will be following all instructions given to me by the owner to ensure the safety of all fur babies! The safety of your pups is my priority and I wouldn’t want to do anything that would compromise it!

Abigail was incredible for my last minute request. She sent so many pictures, communicated clearly and frequently, and reassured me my girls were taken care of. I would recommend her for any pet sitting job!

About: I took care of my sister's dog for most of last summer and fall. I have developed strong dog-walking skills from this experience as she is quite the timid and confrontational dog. I have learned out to be extremely vigilant when walking a dog and I can read a dog's behavior as well as a human's at this point. My time management skills are par for the course and I have plenty of free time. I have plenty of free time – I have plenty of free time... there.. enough words. I have a fenced yard and beautful quiet neighborhood to walk your dog in. I can also learn the layout of any home and method for taking care of any dog by the standards of any owner within any home.

Kaci was great! My dogs loved her, and my two cats that don’t normally like each other cuddled up on her lap together. 🥺 so she definitely brings along good vibes. She sent lots of pictures of my babies and kept me updated with their care. Absolutely will ask her to watch them again.

About: As an independent contractor, I make my own schedule. This allows me to operate on a very flexible calendar. In addition to being the go-to care taker for the pets in my circle, I also have a lifestyle that allows for me to go the extra mile and hangout longer, play more, and go for longer walks! I currently make my own schedule. So pet care fits in tremendously. I work as a freelance film and commercial laborer. Being in charge of my calendar allows me to schedule accordingly to take care of your pet! Having two cats of my own, while I can't house animals at my own residence, I am very familiar with the needs of pets. Playtime, treats, head scratches, and the like. I love every animal deeply and with a great respect. I treat every space with the utmost dignity and try to keep as small of a footprint as possible when entering someone's home. I have been house sitting, dog/cat watching for many years now. I look forward to ensuring you have an enjoyable, trustworthy experience when working with me.

About: I’ve never been bitten. I grew up around strays and my family trusted me to walk them. I lead a volunteer group for The Humane Society, and I just love dogs! They help me deal with military life. I’m big into hiking, and I WILL carry a dog first aid kit XD. I go to School M-F from 8AM-2PM, and Church Sun 8AM-1PM. I need the money, but I do it mostly as a passion project! Very high drive dog friendly. I live in a one bedroom apartment across the street from a MASSIVE dog park. I’m huge into fitness and nature, and I will WALK your dog in nature if you want.

Justin was amazing! I’m so grateful he took such great care of my baby Nittany. She’s on multiple seizure medications, so I needed someone truly reliable to give them on time, and Justin absolutely delivered. He even kept a close eye on her sneaky ways of trying to avoid them (not surprised, lol)! I would 100% book with Justin again and recommend him to everyone on this app. Thank you, Justin!

Kayla was wonderful and incredibly patient with our fur babies. Our dog can be really shy and full of anxiety when we leave him but Kayla handled his care so graciously. She provided consistent check in’s to us on both our dog and cat which was great for peace of mind. Would recommend her to anyone!

Just Wow! I can’t say enough positive things about Megan and Matt. Super nice people who take their job seriously and did an amazing job of caring for our cat and home for over night care. They kept us updated with Luci’s activities, sent lots of photos and our home was spotless when we returned. They are the VERY BEST!

Samantha was wonderful with my sweet boy cat! He loved her on their first introduction. His care is a handful with twice a day medicine dosings, and she was always consistent and kind. She did little extras for me, like taking my trash out. She sent pictures and kept in communication throughout our time away. I highly recommend her and plan of rebooking for my next trip!

Sami was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Before the pet sitting even began, she took the time to come over for a meet and greet, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with animals—our pets took to her right away! While we were away, Sami house sat and cared for our fur babies as if they were her own. She sent frequent photo updates and messages, which made us feel incredibly reassured and connected. It was clear from the pictures that our pets were happy, relaxed, and enjoying their time with her. On top of caring for the animals, she was respectful of our home and left everything just as we had it. We truly felt like our pets and our space were in the best hands possible. I would absolutely recommend Sami to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
