“Thank you, thank you, thank you! Bruce felt so at home. Sarah and her family treated our dog like family. They followed his cues to go outside and cuddled with him. Highly recommend!”
“We left our Nellie in the very capable hands of Alyssa while we were on vacation. Alyssa sent multiple daily updates and was so attentive to Nellie and her cautious disposition. We can’t thank Alyssa and her family enough for caring for our girl!”
“We have used Derrick multiple times for watching our dog.He takes wonderful care of our Australian shepherd and always sends videos and pictures. He's become the first thing I book before vacation to make sure Millie is taken care of and I dont have to worry! 10/10 recommend!”
“Teresa was amazing! We had already booked an overnight boarding and then had an unexpected death in the family so had to add additional nights. She was very accomodating and Buzzie (who is deaf) absolutely had a blast playing with the other dogs! One of my favorite things is that the dogs don't go into kennels by themselves all night like with most boarding facilities. With Scott and Teresa, the dogs are all just part of the family the entire time. It's helpful that Teresa sends photo and video updates so that you can see for yourself how well your dog is doing throughout their stay. I was 100% satisfied and so was Buzzie!”
“Becky, Hands Down is a great, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter. I have a young Italian greyhound, Peach, who is very timid and nervous around new people and unfamiliar situations. Every time I have booked Becky, Peach has been relaxed, taken care of and in good spirits when I pick her up which is important for me. Becky is always easy to get a hold of, she regularly sends updates, including videos and photos of how my dog is doing, and has been so accommodating to a variety of care items (medications, etc) in the past. I have trusted Becky with my dog for multiple stays and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.”
“Brianna was amazing! She was very accommodating and made my puppy feel right at home! She sent daily updates and photos and was very responsive to all my messages! I will definitely rebook Brianna in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Angelica, a retired veteran and passionate pet lover who’s been dog sitting since 2017. After losing my service dog Buddy, I turned my love for animals into a mission to care for yours like family. I’m experienced with dogs of all kinds—puppies, seniors, and those with medical needs—happily administering medications and tailoring care to each pet’s unique personality. I adore taking dogs on car rides, hiking trails, or exploring nearby lakes, and I offer pick-up and drop-off services for an additional fee. From my time volunteering in Phuket, Thailand (2016) to walking dogs at Koh Lanta’s Animal Welfare, I bring a world of care to every furry friend. Whether it’s potty training, baths (just ask for pricing!), or cuddles on the bed (if allowed), your pet will feel right at home. I’m also comfortable with cats, farm animals, and endless games of fetch! I prefer meet-and-greets before bookings to ensure a perfect fit. Let’s give your four-legged family member the love and adventure they deserve with Best Buddy Dog Sitting! As a retired veteran, I’m all in for pet care! I’m available weekdays and weekends, offering sitting in my home or yours—wherever your pet feels happiest. My schedule revolves around giving them the love and attention they deserve. My home features a fenced yard—perfect for romping or leashed adventures—plus quiet, low-traffic streets for walks. If the weather’s good and they’re up for it, well-behaved pets join me on outings, from car rides to playdates with other friendly dogs. In your home, I adapt to their routine, ensuring they feel secure and cared for.
“Jamie is the absolute best! My boys did great with her and her dog. She is great at updating on the stay and sends pictures which I loved. When it came time for pickup, Jamie was very understanding and accommodating when we got delayed a little on our return home. Thank you again for a wonderful stay! We appreciate you!”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 15 years, and it's something I truly enjoy! I grew up with 3 dogs of my own and I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, giving medication, or just providing plenty of love and attention, I treat every dog like they're part of my own family. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring and responsible hands! I work a full-time hybrid position, therefore I can stay home with your fur babies during the day besides the 2 and/or 3 days I go into the office a week. If I am in the office, I would be able to come let them out on my 1 hour lunch break! I have a fenced in backyard on 2.5 acres and live in a neighborhood that I can walk them in. When I am gone, I can crate them if needed!
“Really good! My dog stayed with Jessica and her family for 3 weeks, in which there were no problems at all and my dog had a lot of fun. She gave updates and contacted me about any decisions that they were going to make regarding my dogs care. Definitely will be contacting her again if I need to go away again.”
About: I’ve always always had a soft spot in my heart for animals. My parents have always had a ton, from a bunch of different breeds of dogs to pigs, to chameleons, to bunnies. I’ve always had experience with animals, it’s odd if I don’t have one around! I have a kitty named Nala and a Cocker Spaniel named Goose. They are my pride and joy! I feel as though pet care is just as important as self care. Animals are there for us, as our support, therefore, they should be taken care of just as well. Making sure that your animal is not only healthy, but happy is a priority to me! Having a routine and making sure that all needs are met is a must. I feel as though your home is also your pets home, therefore, enabling them to have their own space is important. Also, making sure your animal is fed and watered and stimulated and energized plays a large role. Playing with toys or running around in the yard are both great ways of stimulating the brain!

“This was the first time that Crystal watched our two older cats for drop-in visits. It was a 3-night duration. She was very communicative throughout the entire trip and took pictures and videos of the cats. Also, the last night we were away, we had torrential rain and local flooding, and she still made it over the next morning. I would recommend her without hesitation.”

About: My name is Josh Clemens and I am a dog person. I have had animals my entire life, and I personally trained my own service dog. I truly believe animals are better than people and I love spending time with them. For me time with your pet isn’t a chore, it’s an opportunity to make a friend! I know each pet is different and I work hard to meet each client’s specific needs. I love animals and if you choose to work with me, I believe you’ll see, they love me too! I only care for pets in client’s homes, not my own home. I specialize in custom in home service. I want your pet to feel like nothing has changed. I care for all the animals I work with as if they were my own, and I’m willing to do whatever is necessary to make my customers happy. Every first visit comes with a free toy! I work part time remotely so my schedule can be changed and worked around so no change in your pets’ schedules will be needed. For them it will be as if nothing has changed. I care for pets in my clients homes not my own home. I will come to your house and stay there essentially 24/7 to make sure your pets have optimal care.
About: I have taken care of many cats growing up. Usually, I would guilt my mom into taking them inside. I have lots of experience with litter box cleaning. I am also experienced in administering medications, even eye drops to spicy cats. I understand the patience that some cats require in building trust with people and am willing to take the time to build that trust with your cat/cats!
About: Hello! I’m Olivia. What sets me apart from other caretakers is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve lived with pets my entire life and also worked as an animal caretaker in my hometown, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I have experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities—from large dogs like Rottweilers and Bernese Mountain Dogs, to energetic Australian Shepherds, to small breeds like teacup Schnauzers, as well as cats. I enjoy working with pets of all ages, whether that means helping with the extra care senior pets need or providing the patience and energy for puppies. I also provide discounted bathing. As a student with open availability, I’m flexible and able to dedicate plenty of time to the pets I care for. Above all, I truly love taking care of all creatures, human or not, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have open availability for pet caretaking, which means I’m flexible and able to accommodate different schedules. As a student, I can easily adjust my time to fit your pet’s needs, whether that’s during the day, evenings, or weekends. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe by giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm environment. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, play, and any special instructions from their owner. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they feel most at home, and I make sure they always have fresh water, a cozy spot to rest, and lots of love. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect while keeping the pet’s comfort and safety my top priority. I maintain their normal routine so they feel secure, and I provide companionship, exercise, and care just as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or extra cuddle time, I make sure every pet gets the attention and care they need.

“Alyssa is absolutely wonderful. This was our second time leaving our little fur-baby with her and he seems to really enjoy her and is opening up (He has a bit of separation anxiety)...I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Our dog loves Brianna and Ali so much! He would get so excited every morning when he saw them. She is very reliable and great at communicating. I would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been a doggo lover my entire life. I got my first pup my senior year of high school and he’s my best friend to this day. At home I’m now a doggo dad of 4. Winston, Calvin, Winnie, & Junior. My daily experience of over 10 years has taught me how to handle everything from high energy zoomies to picky eater senior dogs (my chihuahua). If it’s a quick walk around the block, a full day of adventures, or just coming to check in and feed, I treat every pet like my own. Really paying attention to their routine, safety, exercise, and lots of affection. I’d love to bring that type of care to your fur babies. I am as flexible as it gets. My other job is delivering groceries for Walmart which I also make my own hours for. I am available and compatible to match the schedule and services you need. My home is a secure, pet friendly fenced in yard. I would never leave your fur babies outside without supervision. Safety and trust are my top priorities. My dogs are very friendly but can be totally isolated from your pets if that’s what you request. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect, following your instructions exactly, and I will send updates with photos so you can see your fur babies happy and safe. You can trust your pet will be in a loving, attentive, and safe environment just like my own pack receives every day.
About: I love all animals, and you can rest assured that I will treat your's like one of my own. I'm competent, dependable, responsible, fun, and I can follow directions. I have lots of experience with dogs and cats, but I'm equally comfortable and capable of house sitting and/or taking care of any animals you may have! I work a full time job from home and have a 14 year old son. We have a 1 year old aussie/blue heeler mix that loves playmates! My yard is fully privacy fenced. I love animals and just adore meeting yours. 🥰 I'm trustworthy, responsible, and will take care of your pets and property with the upmost respect. You can return to a home exactly like you left it or better. Your pet will be well taken care of in my home and loved/cuddled like my own.

About: I love bonding and interacting with the families and their pets. I love the enjoyment of animals and giving them extra love while their owners are away! I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but I'm able to stop by during my lunch break for potty breaks, walks, feedings, and check-ins when needed. Before and after work, I dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets on their normal routine. On evenings and weekends, I have even more flexibility to give your pet the attention, love, and care they deserve. I can't currently have animals stay in my home.

About: I would love to meet your fur babies. I'm retired from 35 yrs as a Social Worker. Now, I can pet sit full time. Call or text with any questions or to book my services! I'm able to come to your home while you're away! Whether you're working extra long hours or away on vacation, I can watch your pets when you are gone from home. I only watch pets in their home environments. This is less stressful/traumatic on pets, than a kennel stay. Also, your pet will avoid getting diseases from the other animals at kennel. I don't charge per pet or per size fees either!

About: I have worked in the pet industry for 10 years. I have done everything from cleaning kennels, to working as a vet assistant in a clinic. I also have experience with farm and exotic animals. I currently don't have furbabies of my own, but I find them very therapeutic to interact with. Life is boring without furbabies in my life. I will enter the home as instructed by owners, and proceed in a professional manner. I will use my education as a vet assistant and future vet tech to ensure the animal(s) experience minimal upheaval of their daily routines.
About: I have experience with a variety of breeds of dogs. I have owned dogs that are super high maintenance, dogs that love to lounge, anxiety ridden dogs, and dogs that are on the spicy side. I understand the different cues of dogs and how to read their body language. I have experience in walking multiple dogs. I also have experience in training dogs. I trained my Shetland Sheepdog for 4H and we made it to the state fair. I also taught him many silly tricks. I can be a professional fetch player or a professional cuddler, whichever your dog prefers. I can also just be a treat giver if your dog prefers space. I am currently working part time as a server, but my schedule is very flexible. I am a recently graduated college student, with the hopes of going to graduate school in the coming semester. Animal trust is very important to me. It is important that I earn you and your animals trust, and we can grow to be best friends or acquaintances if your animal is not into that. I hope to make your time away from your animal as easy as possible.
About: I've been taking care of dogs almost all my life. I've had so many different breeds in my lifetime. I love all kinds of animals but definitely have to say dogs are my favorite! I work on my time. I book cleanings and caregiving help to older adults. So if I have a job for sitting lined up I just don't accept any cleaning jobs. I do sitting, walking, and boarding. I can accommodate up to two large dogs and I have a safe area for walks and playtime. I also can come to pets home if needed to do potty breaks ect.
About: I have over a year of pet-sitting experience and have cared for animals throughout my life, including my own family pets. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. While I am not a professional pet trainer, I believe consistency, patience, and clear communication go a long way. I treat pets much like young children—helping reinforce good habits, routines, and expectations through positive guidance and repetition. I strive to maintain a structured environment with designated times for learning, exercise, play, and rest so that pets feel secure, engaged, and comfortable. For health reasons, I am sensitive to pet waste, so I can only accept pets that are potty trained or when waste-removal tools are provided. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, well cared for, and happy while you’re away. While I do not have any special experience, I do have experience caring for cats and dogs and genuinely enjoy their company. One of the things I appreciate most about animals is that every one of them has a unique personality. Whether your pet is affectionate, independent, playful, talkative, or prefers to keep their distance, I am happy to respect their boundaries and care for them according to their comfort level. I get along well with most animals, including the occasional grumpy cat with a bit of attitude. As long as your pet is not operating under an “attack on sight” policy, we will probably get along just fine. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their routine and giving them the attention they want—whether that means playtime, companionship, or simply a quiet presence nearby. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate significant time and attention to the animals in my care. This flexibility enables me to maintain feeding schedules, provide regular walks and exercise, reinforce routines and positive behaviors, and ensure pets receive plenty of companionship throughout the day. Because I have greater availability right now than I may have in the future, I encourage interested pet parents to reach out while openings are available. I believe pets thrive when they have consistency, structure, and engagement. Whether your pet enjoys active play, quiet companionship, outdoor adventures, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I am committed to providing attentive care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. My availability may change over time, but while I have room in my schedule, I look forward to building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take dogs on walks, give pets plenty of attention and companionship, and do my best to maintain their normal routines. I also make time for play and mental stimulation, as I believe happy pets are engaged pets. While I can certainly entertain pets on my own, toys and favorite activities are always appreciated and help create the best experience for them. If requested and permitted by the owner, I am also happy to assist with basic grooming tasks such as brushing and keeping coats looking neat between professional grooming appointments. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, so I adjust my approach to meet their individual needs. Whether your pet wants to play all day, go on adventures, or simply relax with a companion nearby, I strive to provide patient, attentive care that helps them feel right at home.

I have open availability Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, and Friday. I am available until 5pm Thursdays and Saturdays. I’m not available Sundays. I grew up with dogs. I love taking them on walks as much as they like going on them. When I take care of other people’s dogs, I prioritize punctuality, following requests, and a few scratches behind the ear for good measure.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 13 years and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I’m detail oriented, dependable, and comfortable administering medications, following special routines, and providing plenty of love and attention. My 5-star reviews and repeat clients reflect the care, trust, and communication I bring to every visit. I’m a licensed cosmetologist, small business owner, and new mom. Caring for others is at the heart of what I do, and I treat every pet the way I treat my own. I’m detail-oriented and dependable. Whether your pet needs medication, a strict routine, or just extra patience and snuggles, I’m happy to provide. I make communication a priority, so you’ll get regular photo updates and honest check ins while you’re away. My goal is simple: keep your pet safe, loved, and relaxed until you’re back. Caring for others has always been part of who I am. I treat every pet like family and believe consistency, patience, and communication make all the difference.
