“Sofia was an absolute godsend. She's incredibly dependable, professional and kind. And it's a bonus that she's a vet tech. I had never left my dog with a stranger before, so I was nervous about leaving her for a weekend. But Sofia was so communicative and responsive that my anxiety quickly vanished. I will 100% user her again.”

“Emile just returned from his overnight with Corey. He arrived happy, clean and brushed! We so appreciate the TLC he received from Corey and his family. He will definitely visit again!”

“10/10. Warning: Do not bring your dog here if you don't want them to feel like they are a part of the family, getting nonstop cuddles, and lots of friends to play with! This family made me feel so comfortable leaving Teddy with them while I went on vacation out of the country for two weeks. I sincerely appreciate the daily updates via text messages, pictures, and videos! Seeing Teddy so happy was the highlight of my day ever day. I strongly recommend Ray and Terry, they will take great care of your fur babies!”

“Morgan helped us out on short notice with the care of our golden retriever. Drop off and pick up was truly a pleasure, Morgan has a wonderful personality! We look forward to booking her again.”

“Jennifer is the BEST!! She loved our pup like her own for a long 9 day stay! We got updates multiple times a day and I think Harper was sad to leave her! We won’t be sending her to anyone else!”

“Chauncey and Margeaux absolutely loved their stay. Natalie and her family are so kind. I had to reschedule because my trip was rained out and Natalie was very understanding. We will be booking again. We love Natalie!!!”

“Fiona sent pictures and an update everyone day and twice the first day! We enjoyed hearing how well our pup was doing and seeing how happy she was to be running around and playing outside. Plan on using Fiona in the future!!!”

“I was very hesitant to use this app and to have a stranger take care of our dog, but thankfully someone like Melanie is here and I couldn’t be happier! She treats our Cali like her own and loves on her and makes her feel safe and happy. She communicates very well and sends many pictures to keep us reassured that everything is going okay. I definitely recommend her (unless you want her during a time I need her because I only will go to Melanie the next time we need a dog sitter!!). If you’re on the fence, fret not!! So grateful for her and how she took care of our dog daughter!”

“Chauncey & Margeaux loved their time with Michelle. She is so caring and was very accommodating with Chauncey’s medicine schedule. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”

“Aleisha was awesome with GG. GG was GG so that meant lots of love and play time with the other Family Critters. When I picked her up after a week GG was happy, healthy, and CLEAN! What 4 legged girl doesn't like a hot bath after a week of playing and good loving? Thank You Aleisha and Family. JP”

“As always, Lottie had a wonderful time with Peggy. Lottie has stayed with Peggy a few times now and she is always completely comfortable and right at home with Peggy. Thank you, Peggy, for your love and care for our sassy Miss Lottie.”

He loves to come and gets so excited when we arrive at her home.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, horses, smaller animals, birds, and even a longhorn or two! I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior cats, from barn animals to guinea pigs. I truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and well cared for—whether they’re curled up on the couch or running in the pasture. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every animal like they’re my own! I have a very flexible schedule! I have a few short trips planned throughout the summer before I go back to college in August, other than that I am there when you need me! I care for my own pets with their specific needs, my dogs go on car rides every day, baths every few weeks, my horses get fly spray, supplements, fly boots, all the extras, my cats are mostly outdoor but still get all the love when they are at the house. As for my clients home, I treat it as if it were my own, I have had to feed supplements, do special care for food, etc. So I am pretty much prepared for anything!

In a client’s home, I strictly follow all instructions and respect their space while maintaining a calm and clean environment for the pet.

About: Hi my name is Alexis, I’ve been dog sitting for about 7 years now and love getting to care for others dogs when they are away. I’m a stay at home mom and a full time student so our typical day when we are watching someone’s dog is going for two walks a day and play inside/ outside the home. I have a two year old who adores dogs so your companion must be good with children. Upon choosing us to watch your dog or dogs we ask that you bring their food/water bowls, leash, and their toys if they have any. I’m am a stay at home mom so taking care of my daughter and you dog would fit Nicely into our routine. We typically go for walks and work in the garden in the backyard, so your pet will get plenty of time outside with us. When dogs stay with us they typically are able to roam the house freely. At night I do crate your dog as we have had dogs in the past chew furniture out of anxiety separation from their owner.

About: Hi! My name is Lianna and caring for dogs is truly something I love. I have over 5 years of experience fostering and working with dogs, and I’m also comfortable with basic training and handling dogs with different personalities. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from tiny 5 lb pups to large 100+ lb dogs—and I’m comfortable with all breeds. Because of my fostering experience, I’m used to reading dog body language and helping dogs feel safe, calm, and comfortable in new environments. When your dog is with me they will get: • Lots of love and attention • Safe, attentive care • Plenty of playtime and potty breaks • A calm and comfortable environment I treat every dog like they are my own, and my goal is always to make sure both you and your pup feel happy and stress-free while you’re away. Your baby will be in caring and experienced hands with me! Since we recently moved here for my husband’s military assignment, I’m currently home full-time, which allows me to give dogs my full attention throughout the day. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine, and your pup will never feel like they’re being squeezed in between other commitments. I live in a large, dog-friendly two-bedroom apartment with a dog park right downstairs, as well as a large park and walking trail just up the street. This makes it easy to give dogs plenty of exercise, potty breaks, and fresh air. Throughout the day I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playtime, and (with your permission) trips to the dog park so they can burn off energy and have fun. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship, making sure your dog feels comfortable and happy while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With over 5 years of experience fostering and working with dogs of all sizes and breeds, I’m very comfortable reading dog body language and making sure each dog feels calm and secure in a new environment. My home is a clean, calm, and pet-friendly space where dogs can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive about supervision, safe walks, and proper introductions with other dogs if we visit the dog park. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, training routines, or special needs. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident and relaxed knowing your pup is in good hands.

“I cannot say enough good things about James! From day one, he was dependable, kind, and truly cared for my dog, Penny. I was recovering from surgery and needed someone I could fully rely on, and James showed up for us every single time—three walks a day, rain or shine. He was always on time, incredibly responsible, and treated Penny with so much love and patience. It didn’t take long before I could see how much my dog adored him. James also brought a warm, friendly energy that made the whole experience stress-free for me. Having someone I could trust so completely with my dog during such a tough time was a huge relief. If you’re looking for someone who is not only professional but also genuinely kind and sweet with dogs, James is the one. He went above and beyond, and I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone who needs top-notch care for their dog. Truly excellent service!”

I stay home full-time, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy. My own two dogs love making new friends: * Pumpkin is my “teenager who acts like a senior.” She’s laid-back, sweet, and enjoys relaxing just as much as playing. * Molly is a six-month-old puppy with lots of energy who loves to play and make new friends. Whether your pet enjoys zoomies in the yard or curling up for a nap, I’ll do my best to match their comfort level and routine. Personalized Care Every pet is different, and every family has different expectations. I’ll happily follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise preferences, and any special routines that help your pet feel at home. My goal is to keep their experience as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. You’ll also receive updates and photos, because I know how important it is to know your pet is happy and well cared for. My Experience Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with professional experience caring for pets, I grew up helping care for neighborhood pets and family animals. Those experiences taught me that patience, consistency, and genuine love make all the difference. When you book with me, you’re not just finding someone to watch your pet, you’re choosing someone who will welcome them into the family and treat them with the love and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, routines, and exercise while maintaining a clean, secure environment. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and my two friendly dogs adore other fur babies and enjoy making new friends. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliable care, patience, and regular updates. 🐾

“Sofia was an absolute godsend. She's incredibly dependable, professional and kind. And it's a bonus that she's a vet tech. I had never left my dog with a stranger before, so I was nervous about leaving her for a weekend. But Sofia was so communicative and responsive that my anxiety quickly vanished. I will 100% user her again.”

“Emile just returned from his overnight with Corey. He arrived happy, clean and brushed! We so appreciate the TLC he received from Corey and his family. He will definitely visit again!”

“Jennifer is the BEST!! She loved our pup like her own for a long 9 day stay! We got updates multiple times a day and I think Harper was sad to leave her! We won’t be sending her to anyone else!”

“Chauncey and Margeaux absolutely loved their stay. Natalie and her family are so kind. I had to reschedule because my trip was rained out and Natalie was very understanding. We will be booking again. We love Natalie!!!”

“Fiona sent pictures and an update everyone day and twice the first day! We enjoyed hearing how well our pup was doing and seeing how happy she was to be running around and playing outside. Plan on using Fiona in the future!!!”

“It is hard to put into words the gratitude and thankfulness we have for Belinda. We are 1,000 miles from home, leaving our dog Lincoln with her for 8 days while we are gone. While we missed Lincoln, we never once worried about his care, allowing my wife and I to fully enjoy our trip. Belinda knows how to welcome and care for a dog that is separated from his family and takes steps to ease the transition and made Lincoln feel relaxed and comfortable. She is very aware where he was at and provided care and support along each step. Belinda also was terrific with constant communication, providing daily updates and pictures to chart his progress. He always had friends to play with and a yard to roam in. We could tell he was having a great time and loved being in Belinda’s care. We recommend Belinda to the highest degree; and, we look forward to having Lincoln stay with her in the future!”

“I was very hesitant to use this app and to have a stranger take care of our dog, but thankfully someone like Melanie is here and I couldn’t be happier! She treats our Cali like her own and loves on her and makes her feel safe and happy. She communicates very well and sends many pictures to keep us reassured that everything is going okay. I definitely recommend her (unless you want her during a time I need her because I only will go to Melanie the next time we need a dog sitter!!). If you’re on the fence, fret not!! So grateful for her and how she took care of our dog daughter!”

“The entire experience from scheduling the doggie sleepover to pickup was fantastic!! At drop off Celeste and her husband were welcoming to both myself and my dog Eddie. Soon after drop off I received pictures of Eddie playfully Interacting with their two dogs. Later I received pictures and video of Eddie lounges in the living room. The pictures really helped me relax and enjoy my weekend away, knowing Eddie was in great hands!!”

About: “Unlike many sitters, I’m home all day which means your dog gets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I maintain a peaceful, structured home environment and only take a limited number of dogs to ensure each one receives personalized love and supervision.” “Being home full-time allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Your dog will be included in our day with regular walks, playtime, and constant supervision in a relaxed, loving home environment “Dogs in my care enjoy a spacious, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood ideal for stress-free walks, and I’m located less than a mile from Loxley Municipal Park for extra activity and enrichment opportunities.”
