“Janet was absolutely wonderful with our dog Dexter! He loved being able to run around in her backyard and she made sure to incorporate all his favorite activities into the stay, and kept us updated with so many photos! We felt so comfortable and confident leaving him with her and will absolutely book with Janet again!”
“I am so thankful to have found Tiffany! This was my second time using her and she is an excellent dog sitter. My dog was so excited when he saw her and that made me feel so comfortable leaving him. She is commutative and updates regularly with pictures and videos!”
“CJ responded quickly to my inquiry, was flexible in planning my pup's stay, and treated Poptart and her belongings very well! I'd be more than happy to book with CJ again!”
“Danielle was great. I was a bit apprehensive about leaving Beyla with someone she didn’t know. Danielle gave me updates daily and the pictures she sent gave me assurance that Beyla was being well cared for. I definitely recommend her!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Dee with Carly and Hunter. They are so kind and willing to adapt to Dee’s quirks. It was my first time leaving her with a sitter and the frequent updates were very helpful and reassuring!”
“Shawna was amazing. Joey is a great dog but he does come with a specific set of instructions and Shawna did an incredible job following them. I could tell immediately she helped Joey feel safe and calm and at home. You can always tell when a sitter is doing this for a few extra bucks versus when they are truly doing it for the love of dogs - Shawna is the latter. I received regular updates, pictures and questions (good questions). Shawna was incredibly accommodating and treated Joey like her own. Cannot more highly recommend - thank you Shawna!!!”
“Thomas was wonderful with our dog Buster. Buster stayed with Thomas at his home for 6 nights and throughout the visit Thomas stayed in contact and shared pictures. Buster enjoyed his big backyard and plenty of walks. Would highly recommend Thomas.”
“Becky is an amazing sitter, she was so loving and caring towards my dog and, went above and beyond to make sure my dog is happy and comfortable, I absolutely recommend her.”
“Skye was a great sitter for this weekend with my dog, Massi. She asked good questions about his care at dropoff and kept up the pics/videos throughout his stay. Skye took him on lots of walks and played with him. I recommend Skye’s services and would use her as a sitter again!”
“Liz took great care of Reese! She sent me a photo or a video every day and answers any questions I had. Her dog Benji was super cute and played well with my puppy. I will reach out to Liz again for help in the future!”
“Ruby had the BEST time with Stefanie & Ben and their boys! I’m so glad she had company throughout the day, and she had lots of walks and cuddle time. Their house is a perfect and super clean place with a huge and lovely backyard. We received lots of updates, and I was never left wondering how she was doing. I can’t wait to use Stefanie and fam again for our girl while we’re away!”
“I’m always a little nervous leaving my dogs with anyone, especially since I have a 9 month old puppy and a 3 year old Miniature Pinscher. But Katya was amazing. She took such great care of them and kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which really helped ease my mind while we were away for 4 days. Both dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious they got plenty of attention and were treated like part of the family, not just watched. I would absolutely book with Katya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive.”
“Highly recommend Jessie - She gave regular updates and pics. Was flexible on pickup time when my flight was delayed. And genuinely loved and cared for my dog while I was away”
“Big thanks to Vicki and Patrick for taking such good care of our sweet little pug, Ginger! This was the first time for us to use Rover, and it turned out great. Our Ginger LOVED their Ginger, they played in the snow, took walks, napped and ran around for 6 full days. Whew! Vicki and Patrick were so sweet to our Ginger, and I absolutely loved the daily updates with pics and videos. Leaving your fur baby is a big deal, and I would definitely want Vicki, Patrick and of course, Ginger, to watch our Ginger again! xoxo”
“Sarah provided such good care for my Ruby! I never worried for a second that she was having a great time!! She went the extra mile for me when I needed a drop off last minute. Will definitely book again!”
“Lindsay and Josh were incredible. Apart from taking good care of my dog and sending me plenty of pictures, they were very understanding and accommodating when my flights got delayed and allowed me to extend my dogs stay another night so I didn’t have to stress. Couldn’t recommend these two enough”

“Kirstin was a joy to work with and did a great job looking in on our two kitties while we were away.

Our girls were happy to see her each day. Would definitely recommend.”
“Kelly came and checked on our cat while we were out of town and we’re so happy with how it went! Our cat often hides under the bed when sitters come, but Kelly made him comfortable enough that he came out and even let her give him some pets :).

“Chloe was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the entire stay. I especially appreciated the photo updates during each visit—it was such a comfort to see my cat happy and well cared for. Definitely recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Nelson was a wonderful pet sitter for my kitty Archie! My kitty is usually very shy and hides from strangers, but right from the start he was at ease with Nelson. Not only did he send pictures of Archie throughout his stay, he was clearly very kind and attentive to him—when I returned Archie was happy and healthy. He even sent me a cute Archie wearing a Santa hat picture on Christmas—it was adorable. Nelson really went above and beyond as a pet sitter—he was very communicative and is clearly an animal lover. I would highly recommend him and will be booking him on my next trip away!!!”

“Lauren was an amazing sitter for Pascha. She was communicative and kept me updated throughout the day and was also very flexible. Pascha had a great time at doggie day care at Lauren’s and was excited to go each day - which says something considering she’s a sassy Shiba. I’d definitely recommend your dog stay with Lauren, they will have a great time and will be in good hands.”

About: I take myself on multiple long walks every day and nothing brings me more joy than providing fun and safety for another living thing, I've only ever lived with dogs thar belonged to my partners but loved and cared for them like my own and cherished every moment of their company. If you allow me the privilege of getting to know your little friend(s), I will bring every bit of that love to their time with me (and they'll never have to chase me down for a walk!) I work part time remotely on a flexible schedule so I am always available for last minute bookings and am never too busy to attend to pets if any issue comes up while they are in my care. I am always extremely respectful of others spaces and make sure to leave everything just as it was when I'm given the chance to care for the space, and religiously ensure that all pet care tasks are handled promptly, my favorite of which is playing with them and keeping them company!
“Nancy has been an amazing dog walker for us over the past two weeks. She is responsible, respectful, and punctual.

It was a pleasure having you take care of Larry!”

About: Never in my life have I been without animal companionship. Many of the dogs I have lived with or cared for have been troubled rescues or otherwise special needs. I have a lot of experience, including a year working for a boarding place for large dogs, regularly dogsitting aggressive and delicate dogs, experience working for a reptile shop, alongside owning various reptiles, rodents, dogs, and cats. I am an online student with only 8 classes per week, giving me a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to work at my own pace and from any location. Outside of my coursework, I have no responsibilities that would impede my ability to petsit. I avoid kenneling unless requested by the owners of an animal. I prioritize building trust with the animals I watch. I achieve this by allowing the animal to pace our interactions. I can be as energetic as I can be patient or firm.
About: I am only available work 11 am to 5 pm. I worked in a shelter and helped out a little with the dogs and have had pets my whole life. I get along very well with animals, including very shy animals. I'm a freelance artist with a very free schedule and I can drop in anytime that you may need me to be there. I understand the regularity of a pet's schedule is very important! I can crate a pet if needed and am very careful with an animal's boundaries to insure safety and comfort for your pet and myself.
