“Kaitlin and Verle took great care of Clover again! When Clover arrived at their house for this stay, she was SO excited to see them and ran inside to play immediately. She didn’t even look back at us when we left. We’re so happy and reassured by how much she loves staying with them. Kaitlin and Verle were very communicative and flexible also. We have already booked Clover’s next stay with them for our next trip.”
“Savannah took great care of my pooches. This was the first time being apart from them overnight, so I was a little nervous. She gave several update pics and made sure my two were comfortable and didn't stress about being away from me. One of them is pretty reactive to other dogs, but her and husband were able to walk both pooches without any issues. I look forward to booking with Savannah again in the future.”
“This is the 2nd time Cristina looks after my two mini aussies. This time it was for a whole month. My girls really enjoyed themselves. Always happy, spoiled and I have always felt at peace leaving them at her home. She and her husband and really great and family oriented people. Thank you so much for looking so nicely after them”
“They took such great care of our Joey! He was a little nervous the first night adjusting to a new environment, but he quickly settled in and had a great week. They kept us updated with plenty of photos and were incredibly communicative throughout. We’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Anyely and her family were wonderful hosts! She sent me photos and updates every day. She made sure that my dog was always comfortable and very well taken care of. I hadn’t left my dog with a sitter for a long time because I always try to bring her with me everywhere, so I was nervous about leaving her, but I am so glad that we found Anyely. She raved about my dog when I picked her up, and seemed to truly enjoy hosting her. My dog seemed happy and totally herself when I picked her up. I would absolutely have my dog stay with Anyely again! She also enjoyed playing with the family dog and cat :) Thank you so much Anyely!”
“Erica is the best! I was not concerned about my dogs at all during my two day trip. I was comfortable that my dogs were in good hands. Erica provided updates and pics during their entire stay. When I picked them up they seemed happy and I think one of them would have stayed if he had the option which makes me happy!! I will be requesting Erica for all my dog sitting/day care needs. Thanks Erica!!”
“Thank you so much, Cerita, to you and your family for taking such great care of Teddy during his three-night stay. He was clearly well loved, and I am sure he enjoyed all the cuddles and attention. We are very grateful for the safe, warm, and caring home you provided.”
“Araceli is fantastic. My dogs love being with her. She is always so responsive and she let me drop off the dogs two hours earlier than I initially asked for which was really helpful due to travel plans changing.”
“This was my first time using this site to find a sitter. My 14-month-old dog is very cautious and usually takes a long time to adjust to new environments, so I was very worried about how things would go. It was his first experience being cared for by someone outside of our family, which was a big challenge for him—and I’m sure it was also a bit difficult for Lisa. But she kindly accepted, and I was truly grateful. Before the sitting, she even made time for us so that my dog and I could get a little more comfortable with her. Thanks to that, I felt much more at ease on the day. She also sent me photos and videos to share how he was doing, which made me very happy and reassured. After just one day, I could see that he was slowly starting to adjust to the new environment, and it was wonderful to see his growth. I’m really glad I asked Lisa this time. Even if I may have caused her some trouble, she kindly took care of him, and I’m very thankful.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the way I treat every pet like family while tailoring care to their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need consistent training and gentle guidance, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, medication reminders, and comfort. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel loved and secure, even when their owners are away. Whether it’s reinforcing good habits, providing lots of play and exercise, or offering slow walks and cuddles for older pets, I adapt to what each furry friend needs. My goal is to make sure they’re not only cared for, but genuinely happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home full-time with no other job commitments. This allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day In my home, pets enjoy a clean, bug-free space with a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise. I provide fresh water, regular breaks, and lots of attention.
“Ami is excellent! She has watched our dog a couple times already while we are out of town. Our dog loves her and she’s very responsive and sends regular updates. We appreciate you Ami!”
“Nate & Ray are amazing!!! It is now our dogs’ home away from home. We have used them twice and both times, you could tell that the dogs really enjoyed themselves. They send lots of pictures throughout the stay which we absolutely loved. It was very comforting to see that our babies are having a good vacation while we are having a good time on vacation. We have very anxious dogs and fhe first time we dropped them off, they were (as expected) a little hesitant. The second time we dropped them off, they went right in and made themselves at home. This is when we knew that this is definitely the ONLY place we will ever use for our babies!!! Thank you guys so much for taking such good care of our furkids!!!”
“Gwen has helped us with our senior dog and is now helping us with our new puppy. She always takes good care of our dogs and they get excited when it’s time to visit again.”
“Pilar was awesome. She made my baby feel so at home he didn't want to leave when I went to pick him up. She updated me on how he was doing and sent pictures as well. I will book again with her.”
“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Dama was very knowledgeable and accommodating with our little pup! She took time to let him warm up for his first stay with her. We’re thankful to find another great sitter and look forward to Sunny’s next stay with her!”

“Kaitlyn did a great job watching my cat for me while I was gone for a while. He was happy and healthy when I returned. I received photos twice daily when she checked in and it was great!”
“We were fortunate to have Trinity come to our house each morning for almost 3 weeks to care for our two cats. It was best to keep the cats at home and comfortable in their routines rather than traveling to a facility. Trinity checked in each morning and sent pics to me from each visit and that helped put me at ease. All went well and when we travel again, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact River and ask for Trinity again. Thanks Trinity!”
“Cynthia was amazing…she is dependable, compassionate, and respectful. We felt completely comfortable with her care of our cats and she even offered extra assistance when we had a minor problem with one of our cats that she handled with grace. We will be using Cynthia in the future and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
“Bobbie is exceptional! She was able to comfort my two very shy cats while we were away. They get depressed and anxious whenever we take a trip. Bobbie sent photos and videos through out her visit. I would definitely recommend her!”
“CJ did a great job with the cats while I was gone for 10 days. He was able to come twice a day and hang out with them and give them the attention they needed. He updated me on everything and was easy to communicate with. He also shared great pictures from each visit! I came home to two happy cats.”
About: I have grown up with dogs from a young age, which has helped me understand how to care for them, while also learning about different types of behavior. Living with them has allowed me to recognize their unique personalities, how they communicate, and their needs. I am a college student currently on summer break. I work around 3 days a week (typically mon, wed, and fri) but on those days I am available before 4! I ensure that pets are fed according to their specific dietary needs and schedules, and spend time with them by playing and making sure they are happy. I also look out to make sure there is nothing nearby that can harm the pet.
About: I grew up with a dog and a cat and recently have got a dog of my own who is very much like a son to me. I absolutely love taking care of him and I treat any pets just as I do my own. I was especially drawn to Rover after long-term dog sitting these 2 wonderful Dobermans a few months ago, it made me want to create even more special bonds just like that. I am genuinely so happy spending time around animals… I have always taken up dog sitting opportunities for family or friends and now I would like to extend my love out to your pets as well!🩷🫂 Right now, dog sitting is my full time job so I am dedicated to giving your pets the most attentive care I can. I am super flexible and currently offering dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week and on weekends!! Check my calendar for specific availability. I am used to incorporating 1-3 dogs + a cat into a daily routine (for the past 6 years). I really enjoy long walks and playing outside or even napping with my dogs. I have unconditional love ready to give to any pet… you are doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to get to know and love your fur baby🥹🥹 I will always make sure that your pet and I are both respectful of house rules while still having fun. I do try to work on small behavioral training such as sit and stay on a daily basis. I will always be on top of it to make sure your dog stays on schedule and give endless cuddles so they stay happy as well.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have over 9 years of experience training service dogs of all ages. Through my training experience, I have worked with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, helping them build confidence, learn new skills, and receive the care they need. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with a wide variety of dogs and my ability to adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs. I have also cared for my own foster dog, which taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of creating a safe and loving environment for every animal. I am comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions to ensure your pet stays healthy and happy while you're away. Whether your pet needs extra attention, exercise, medication, or simply lots of love and companionship, I am committed to providing the highest quality care. I pride myself on being warm, friendly, dependable, and attentive. When your pet is with me, they will be treated like family and receive plenty of affection, enrichment, and personalized care. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free. 🐾 I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to play with pups! I’m super flexible and can fit in almost anything in my schedule! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious home with a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have an 8-month-old service dog in training who is extremely friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys being around other dogs. With over 9 years of experience training service dogs, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, reinforcing positive behaviors, and providing attentive care. I carefully supervise all interactions between pets and make sure each dog feels comfortable in their environment. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication administration, and any special requests. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners while providing regular updates and communication throughout their stay.
“My kitty, Simba, is usually pretty shy when strangers are in the house but Kat was able to coax him out and they quickly make friends. I'm really glad I found Kat and that my long weekend fit into her schedule!!! I'll for sure contact Kat the next time I need someone to check in on Simba.”
“Sahba took wonderful care of our cats and was very reliable and professional. She followed all our instructions, spent time playing with them, and clearly showed genuine love for our cats. She always sent lots of photos, videos, and detailed updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She also paid close attention to details, like making sure the door was locked every time. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Natalie was great! She took care of my cat Prada with drop in visits every day. She took photos and updated me with an issues. She is kind and easy going. Definitely will be using her again!!!!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I learned how to wash dishes! I’ve walked dogs and puppies from 10lbs to larger dogs of 120lbs + When I spend time with animals, even in short amounts of times, special bonds are formed. Both parties just have a blast to be honest. I’ve wanted to be a Veterinarian my whole life but as things have changed this is the closest thing to it. I hope you’ll choose me as your trusted sitter! I’m currently in the military Active Duty Shore. I do drop in visits around lunch time, and I’m up early in the morning for early morning walks and feedings before work starts on weekdays. After 4pm we play, go for walks, eat and play again. On weekends I’m available whenever. Sundays mornings are exceptions, being that I attend church. I only take care of crate trained animals in my home. Animals who are potty trained, and nothing bigger than 25lbs. I do live in a gated community with plenty of room to walk and run around outdoors. I also have a spacious living room and dining room area with no furniture. Spacious for small animals, their crates, and their zoomies! I do not have any pets or children. When it comes to clients homes, I clean when needed. And I stick to whatever schedule I’ve been given.
About: I started my career early volunteering as a teenager at the local humane society. ❤️ Working at the humane society we had dogs and kitties from every background come our way, and it was our job to take care of them, help them grow, and make sure they were comfortable every single day. My experience includes 15 years of taking care of puppies, mid-age doggies and elderly doggies of all sizes. On top of professional time spent with doggies my family dogs were a big beautiful boxer bull mastiff named Layla, and a little Sheltie named Lady. I now have a one year old Golden Sammy named Zena. I’m currently working part time which gives me the flexibility to keep taking care of dogs. Send a message for your desired dates and times. I have had dogs for my entire life. I currently have a fenced in yard and a year old trained and submissive sweet golden Sammy named zena.
“I recently broke my wrist (strong arm) and live alone with my many pets. It was difficult to care for my pets. Erica agreed to help me with feeding and caring for my 2 dogs and 8 former street cats. One of my cats is diabetic and needs insulin shots twice daily. Erica came to my house twice a day, 12 hours apart, for almost 2 months like clockwork. She was so kind, gentle and dependable. She clearly knows and loves animals. One night my diabetic cat was having a hard time with his diabetes. Erica stuck around and helped me find an emergency vet and then helped me get him in his carrier, which is quite a task! She truly cares about animals and her experience working with them is evident. It was such a feeling of relief to know that Erica helped me through this tough time. I completely trust her and will definitely hire her again for pet care. She is the best!”

“Nervous about leaving your new puppy in the care of a stranger? Don’t be when it’s Betty! My Cooper is 3 months old, naturally shy with strangers, and normally suffers with separation anxiety. The morning I dropped him off, I placed Cooper down on the pavement to see how he would react. To my amazement, Betty’s kind spirit attracted him like a moth to a flame. He ran over, pounced into her open arms, and followed her into her the house without so much as a cry. When I picked him up he that evening he gave her a million kisses before leaving. The following day, he did the same but with even more gusto. There is nothing as comforting and reassuring to a pet mom, than your little one adoring their caretaker enough to happily leave your side. Thank you, Betty! Cooper has a new Grams. ♥️”
“Buddy had a wonderful time and mom was worry free. Jennifer and her husband are wonderful. I trust them 100 percent. Reliable and keeps us informed. They are the best! Thank you so much.”
“A big thanks for another fun day! My husband and I really appreciate Semran’s attention to detail and TLC for Manny. And we wanted to add an extra star for last week’s care!⭐️ Thank you!”
“Lisa is an amazing pet sitter, always keeping me posted about my pet throughout the day, and she was very affectionate with him. I feel like he had a lot of fun and was very happy with her. I highly recommend Lisa and Logan 🤩🙏🏻”
“Berenice was fantastic. Everytime we picked Obi up he was happy, clean and wagging his tail. She kept us up to date and did many fun things to keep Obi active. Definitely will use her again if we come to visit in the future.”
“Jacob was very accommodating and quick to answer any of my questions. Very easy Going and has a nice house to accommodate my golden retriever. Highly recommended services. He is kind, professional and flexible.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I feel deeply connected to them. I’m naturally intuitive to their needs and believe that every animal deserves patience, kindness, and a safe place to feel loved. I’ve had pets since I was very young, and nearly all of them have been strays, rescues, or animals that nobody else wanted. I come from a family with a soft heart for animals that are struggling, so caring for them has always been a part of who I am. My journey with animals has been long, meaningful, and full of unforgettable experiences. I’ve cared for playful puppies, gentle senior dogs and cats, very sick animals, and many who came with fear, trauma, and trust issues. I’ve learned that every pet has its own story, and with patience, consistency, and love, they can learn to feel safe and happy again. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs a little extra understanding, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where they feel secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I work remotely part-time and genuinely enjoy having furry companions by my side. My guests spend the day with me in my home office, enjoying plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I have the flexibility to provide multiple walks, potty breaks, meals on their regular schedule, medication if needed, playtime, enrichment, and, of course, lots of hugs and belly rubs. Every pet is different, so I tailor my day to meet their individual needs and help them feel relaxed, loved, and at home. My furry guests get to hang out with me in my cozy home office while I work, so they're rarely alone and always have company throughout the day. I live in a cozy condo located in a safe, gated, dog-friendly community. While I don't have a backyard, I do have a secure balcony, and we're surrounded by beautiful walking trails and a large park just steps away. I tailor each pet's schedule to their individual needs. During the summer, we enjoy walks early in the morning before the heat sets in, a midday potty and stretch break, another walk in the late afternoon before sunset, and one final potty break before bedtime. Meals are served according to each pet's regular feeding schedule, and because I only work part-time, I have plenty of time for cuddles, playtime, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. My neighborhood is quiet, safe, and full of friendly people who love seeing our furry visitors out enjoying their walks. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe, comfortable, and treated like family.
“We couldn't have been happier with everything, from how quick and responsive Erica was to our first inquiry, to her professionalism asking questions about our two dogs and their needs. Our pooches came back calm and happy. Thank you again, Erica!”
“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”
“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”
About: I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, ranging from household pets to farm and ranch animals. I grew up on a 7-acre property where I was constantly surrounded by animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, behavior, and responsibility. I also spent time as a competitive horseback rider, which provided additional experience working closely with horses and other large animals. Alongside farm experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small animals. I currently have two large senior dogs—a Boxer and a Shepherd/Husky mix—who I’ve raised since they were puppies, giving me experience with everything from early training to senior care. I’m familiar with the unique care needs of smaller animals as well. I also have a two-year-old daughter who is very gentle and animal-loving, and she enjoys being around and helping with daily pet care and walks when appropriate. Because she will often be with me, I kindly ask that you let me know if your pets are comfortable around children so I can ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone involved. My goal is always to provide safe, loving, and reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pets are treated like family. My schedule is flexible since I am a stay-at-home mom caring for my two-year-old daughter. This allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day, with availability for morning, afternoon, and some evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Because I am home most of the time, I am able to adjust my routine to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and any special care instructions your pet may have. I prioritize reliability and communication, so you’ll always know when I’m arriving and how your pet is doing. While I do have my daughter with me, I am intentional about only accepting bookings where I can ensure a safe, calm, and positive experience for both your pet and your home. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special instructions. I take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In client homes, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own—keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I am reliable, communicative, and always mindful of both the pet’s comfort and the owner’s peace of mind. In my own home, pets are cared for in a structured, calm environment alongside my two senior dogs. I maintain a clean and organized space where animals can feel safe and relaxed. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing consistent, attentive, and compassionate care every time.
About: Hi! My name is Isabelle. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for at least 10 years! I miss having dogs around so I will love yours like my own. I work from home full time and can easily take lots of breaks to let your dog out! I also take 1-2 long walks a day. Feel free to bring their bed and any toys your dog may want to have with them. I don’t have a yard but plenty of space to walk them around.

“Dama was such a wonderful dog sitter, she was so communicative and I felt completely comfortable leaving our high strung Belgian boy with her while we enjoyed days out in San Diego (visited from Northern Nevada). Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”
“Virginia is an amazing pet sitter. She truly cares for the animals and the clients she is working with. She follows instructions well and gives updates daily and answers questions or concerns in a timely manner. She gave me peace of mind while I was away. 5 stars.”

About: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.

About: Hi, my name is Bree! Currently, my only pet is a cat, but I grew up with chihuahuas, a bird, and have pet sat for many friends and family members. After moving away from my hometown, I missed hanging out with all type of animals, so I decided to start pet sitting again. I love all animals, but I feel most comfortable and confident with cats and smaller or lower energy dogs. I am also happy to care for other animals, like birds, fish, and reptiles. I have experience administering oral and topical medications. I’m an excellent communicator and will tailor my care to your pets’ needs. I have a strong attention to detail and will love and care for your fur babies like they are my own. I am self-employed and work primarily from home, so my schedule is very flexible on both weekdays and weekends. On days when I work outside the home, I can drop in before and/or after my other responsibilities. I treat all homes with respect and cleanliness, and will follow your instructions for care. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved in your absence.
“CJ is reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I always feel at ease knowing Remy is in such good hands. Remy comes back happy, exercised, and well cared for every time. I highly recommend CJ to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
“Marielle was incredible! She provided such great care for both our dogs while we were on vacation and kept us updated with lots of pictures. We will absolutely continue using her!”
About: I’ve actually had all kinds of pets my whole life, dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, hamsters, turtles so I can confidently say I’m attentive to each one’s personality, habits, needs. I’ve welcomed many stray dogs and cats into my home to care for them and feed them and rehome them. I’ve potty/litter trained countless times and I can train them for meal times, to sit or give paw(dogs), to not scratch the couch(cats). In the last 4 years in particular, family members have asked me to pop by and check on and feed their babies. One household has two very loving and hyper dogs ages 2 & 3 yrs old that have a specific diet and meal times. They are potty trained outside so I walk them 2-3x a day depending on the hours I watch them. Second household has one 14 yr old dog and a 2 yr old cat, also with their own diets and meal times. The dog uses pee pads as she’s older and potty trained outside as well. Third household has 7 cats that range from 1 yr old to 7 yrs old. They’re all more free spirited and independent as they look after each other, they all eat at the same time and have indoor and outdoor privileges. I currently have full and open availability. I’d love to gain more experience looking after pets. My cat is very independent and clean, as long as I feed him in the morning and evening and keep his litter box clean, he’s a very good boy. It gives me the confidence to be able to help someone else with their fur babies either for work or trips. I can do from simply check-ins or stay in nights at a time with them. Im super flexible. As of right now, unfortunately I don’t have the proper space to bring others pets in ): but I am more than dependable and respectful to care for furbabies in their own home. Anything from simple and winging it to a list of instructions, your furbaby won’t see me as an intruder, but as their company.
“Sylvia has been walking our dogs over lunch once a week for the last couple weeks and it's been so great. She gives us updates on how the walks went and pictures. She is patient with my shy, nervous dog, so he's starting to get more comfortable with her, which is really nice and was originally a big concern for us. Thanks, Sylvia!”
“excellent walker. made such a great first impression that we booked her on the spot—well kinda. based on our needs, it couldn’t work out but we’ll definitely reach out if we ever need a backup walker/sitter. thx zoarel!”
“Kyra is excellent! A great communicator and ensures that issues are quickly addressed. She really took care of my girls and I can't recommend her enough. I will be using her again.”
About: I've always had a dog in the house since I was born, but I also have vast experience taking care of the pets of immediate family, as well as a lot of my extended family. I've taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, and fish for as long as I can remember. Currently, I'm studying wildlife and animal care at school and have experience with internships where I handle animals. I'm currently working part time, but only around 4-8 hours a week, so I have lots of time to take care of pets. I'm at home for the majority of the day, and I often take long walks during the day that I would love to bring dogs on. I also have a car and everything in my life is in close proximity to my house, so if I'm ever not at home I can come right back very soon. I have a fenced yard and several parks nearby my house that I can take dogs to. I have no dogs in the house but I'm happy to board many if necessary. I can crate dogs if necessary but I don't have to, they're allowed to have free reign of the house if the owner is okay with it. Dogs are allowed on the furniture but again if an owner requests they not do that then that's great too!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I learned how to wash dishes! I’ve walked dogs and puppies from 10lbs to larger dogs of 120lbs + When I spend time with animals, even in short amounts of times, special bonds are formed. Both parties just have a blast to be honest. I’ve wanted to be a Veterinarian my whole life but as things have changed this is the closest thing to it. I hope you’ll choose me as your trusted sitter! I’m currently in the military Active Duty Shore. I do drop in visits around lunch time, and I’m up early in the morning for early morning walks and feedings before work starts on weekdays. After 4pm we play, go for walks, eat and play again. On weekends I’m available whenever. Sundays mornings are exceptions, being that I attend church. I only take care of crate trained animals in my home. Animals who are potty trained, and nothing bigger than 25lbs. I do live in a gated community with plenty of room to walk and run around outdoors. I also have a spacious living room and dining room area with no furniture. Spacious for small animals, their crates, and their zoomies! I do not have any pets or children. When it comes to clients homes, I clean when needed. And I stick to whatever schedule I’ve been given.
“We feel so blessed to have met Betty. She is so loving and caring with Bernard. He looks forward to seeing Betty because she makes it fun for him. We are so thankful for the great care she gives him.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have over 9 years of experience training service dogs of all ages. Through my training experience, I have worked with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, helping them build confidence, learn new skills, and receive the care they need. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with a wide variety of dogs and my ability to adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs. I have also cared for my own foster dog, which taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of creating a safe and loving environment for every animal. I am comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions to ensure your pet stays healthy and happy while you're away. Whether your pet needs extra attention, exercise, medication, or simply lots of love and companionship, I am committed to providing the highest quality care. I pride myself on being warm, friendly, dependable, and attentive. When your pet is with me, they will be treated like family and receive plenty of affection, enrichment, and personalized care. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free. 🐾 I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to play with pups! I’m super flexible and can fit in almost anything in my schedule! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious home with a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have an 8-month-old service dog in training who is extremely friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys being around other dogs. With over 9 years of experience training service dogs, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, reinforcing positive behaviors, and providing attentive care. I carefully supervise all interactions between pets and make sure each dog feels comfortable in their environment. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication administration, and any special requests. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners while providing regular updates and communication throughout their stay.
“Our dogs love Katie and run to the door when we say Her name! She’s Always on time and keeps us updated on their status which we look forward to as well. She goes above and beyond for our dog as if they were her own, topping off the dogs water and food!”

About: I started my career early volunteering as a teenager at the local humane society. ❤️ Working at the humane society we had dogs and kitties from every background come our way, and it was our job to take care of them, help them grow, and make sure they were comfortable every single day. My experience includes 15 years of taking care of puppies, mid-age doggies and elderly doggies of all sizes. On top of professional time spent with doggies my family dogs were a big beautiful boxer bull mastiff named Layla, and a little Sheltie named Lady. I now have a one year old Golden Sammy named Zena. I’m currently working part time which gives me the flexibility to keep taking care of dogs. Send a message for your desired dates and times. I have had dogs for my entire life. I currently have a fenced in yard and a year old trained and submissive sweet golden Sammy named zena.
About: I was given the opportunity to work for a major pet store after moving to Austin, TX which is where I realized how beautiful it is to have a family member with a snout, funny ears, and a wagging tail! Helping others find what they want to spoil their furry companion with was always a joy. Rover was then introduced to me and I have been hooked ever since! Being a pup’s pal has allowed me to learn to socialize and get out into the world outside of retail work environments. Of course, socializing your pup is the goal at the end of the day too, that way we can all better understand the world we live in, but I do believe every heart and soul should get the attention they deserve. I strive to create a small bond with your pet so they know they have a friend and a home away from home. In my lifetime I have had the opportunity to work with a Beagle named Bagel, a precious Chihuahua-Terrier named Nala (R.I.P), and then a wild child, mixed lab-pit, named Chakra. I currently own Journey and Luna who are both incredible terriers not terrors at all lol. A bit about me: Daily exercise and nutrition are very important to me, therefore, I spend most of my free time cooking, cleaning, and exercising. I love the outdoors so you can frequently find me riding my bike on or jogging. Naturally, you and your dog(s) are welcome to join in! While your pup is under my care, we will work towards having the time of our lives (within the allotted time lol). The first thing after waking up would start with the quick backyard potty break, followed by breakfast, and then playtime. Some of my favorite parks in the area are Harry Griffin or Mast Park in Santee. The big, almost theme park for dogs would be Fiesta Island or a nice, clean dog beach. Then of course I would have to bathe your pet because nobody likes a stinky, muddy, or sandy pup! Your dog would also NOT be left alone for more than up to five hours with water, treats, and chew toy! After that, they would get some extra attention and likely play outdoors along with a shower of kindness, smiles, handshakes, and, of course, belly rubs and treats. If misbehavior from your pet should occur, no inhumane discipline will take place. They will simply be startled by a loud sound to alert the pup to stop. Worst case scenario: if they bite or ruin any furniture, you may be held responsible for any damages, but you need not worry! Thanks for reading and also for any positivity sent my way. It helps me continue taking care of your pets, fur babies, best friends, and most loyal companions. I truly enjoy and appreciate the time taken to meet and to work with you and your pet(s). I am fully available to your companion. Be it for one hour or one day or even a week! The only obligations I have are, like most, family. I am also in the Army National Guard, which makes me unavailable at unexpected times on rare and seldom occasions. I have a tall, fenced-in yard with edible pet grass designed explicitly for your dog(s) to potty-train. On the extra hot days, a comfy off-ground cot with a cooling mat and shaded canopy is available, along with a small pool of water for your dog to enjoy while they are here with me. No burned paws or dehydrated pets allowed :-P I also have plenty of chew toys and energy to entertain your dog with fetch, tug a war, and lots of outdoor running. Lastly, I offer a bed in a comfortable kennel for dogs with no severe behavior issues such as yelping, whining, and barking, mostly puppy's still learning the basics such as potty training. Dogs will be separated and placed in a kennel during short, unsupervised moments, such as quick runs to the store or during feeding time.

“Kaitlin and Verle took great care of Clover again! When Clover arrived at their house for this stay, she was SO excited to see them and ran inside to play immediately. She didn’t even look back at us when we left. We’re so happy and reassured by how much she loves staying with them. Kaitlin and Verle were very communicative and flexible also. We have already booked Clover’s next stay with them for our next trip.”
“Savannah took great care of my pooches. This was the first time being apart from them overnight, so I was a little nervous. She gave several update pics and made sure my two were comfortable and didn't stress about being away from me. One of them is pretty reactive to other dogs, but her and husband were able to walk both pooches without any issues. I look forward to booking with Savannah again in the future.”
“They took such great care of our Joey! He was a little nervous the first night adjusting to a new environment, but he quickly settled in and had a great week. They kept us updated with plenty of photos and were incredibly communicative throughout. We’ll definitely be using them again!”
“Erica is the best! I was not concerned about my dogs at all during my two day trip. I was comfortable that my dogs were in good hands. Erica provided updates and pics during their entire stay. When I picked them up they seemed happy and I think one of them would have stayed if he had the option which makes me happy!! I will be requesting Erica for all my dog sitting/day care needs. Thanks Erica!!”
“Thank you so much, Cerita, to you and your family for taking such great care of Teddy during his three-night stay. He was clearly well loved, and I am sure he enjoyed all the cuddles and attention. We are very grateful for the safe, warm, and caring home you provided.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the way I treat every pet like family while tailoring care to their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need consistent training and gentle guidance, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, medication reminders, and comfort. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel loved and secure, even when their owners are away. Whether it’s reinforcing good habits, providing lots of play and exercise, or offering slow walks and cuddles for older pets, I adapt to what each furry friend needs. My goal is to make sure they’re not only cared for, but genuinely happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home full-time with no other job commitments. This allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day In my home, pets enjoy a clean, bug-free space with a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise. I provide fresh water, regular breaks, and lots of attention.
“Ami is excellent! She has watched our dog a couple times already while we are out of town. Our dog loves her and she’s very responsive and sends regular updates. We appreciate you Ami!”
“Nate & Ray are amazing!!! It is now our dogs’ home away from home. We have used them twice and both times, you could tell that the dogs really enjoyed themselves. They send lots of pictures throughout the stay which we absolutely loved. It was very comforting to see that our babies are having a good vacation while we are having a good time on vacation. We have very anxious dogs and fhe first time we dropped them off, they were (as expected) a little hesitant. The second time we dropped them off, they went right in and made themselves at home. This is when we knew that this is definitely the ONLY place we will ever use for our babies!!! Thank you guys so much for taking such good care of our furkids!!!”
“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Monique was amazing and provided me with daily updates on my pup! She also was able to accommodate extending Ringo’s stay as my flight got cancelled and I had to rearrange! Will def be using her again!!”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Melanie provided exactly what I needed for my dogs a worry free stay and a quick pick up and drop off. She made herself available accordingly to my schedule and I’m so grateful she was able to take care of them this weekend. Thank you!”
“We were so thankful to have found Trent and his wonderful family for our Buster!! We really appreciated the regular check-ins/pics and videos! They were so easy to work with. We will definitely be rebooking with them when the time comes.”
“Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.”
“I can't thank Mihaela enough for taking such great care of our dog. She was a great communicator and sent a lot of photos while he was in her care. She was also so kind and understanding when my flight was delayed and I had to pick him up later. Would love to have her watch our dog again. Thank you!”
