“These people are the real deal. They took such great care of my old man. Very communicative with daily picture updates about what he was up to and were quick to get my input on some irritation they noticed on one of his paws. Highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t know how to explain this except: Jess is basically Dodger’s second family now. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for the type of sitter who treats your dog like FAMILY…like actual family…Jess is the one. I honestly don’t think Dodger realized he was being “boarded.” He thought he was on vacation with his new cousins, new uncles, and his new favorite person on earth (Dan 😆). From the minute we dropped him off, Jess was so reassuring and kind. She sent constant updates, pictures, and little stories that made my heart feel so much better. And not just “here’s your dog existing” pictures…NO. We’re talking: *Dodger cuddling her husband like they’ve been best buds for 10 years *Dodger snuggled up with her youngest like they were watching Saturday morning cartoons *Dodger and Tanner acting like long-lost brothers reunited *Dodger eating, relaxing, wagging his tail like a helicopter blade *Dodger getting a whole spa bath after rolling in the yard mud 😭💀 He even chewed through a Kong, which honestly deserves its own award. I warned her he was a super chewer, but I don’t think ANYONE was ready for him to destroy the “indestructible” toy. She just laughed and sent pictures like, “Welp, he’s having the time of his life.” 😂 The whole time she made sure I felt comfortable…even when my baby stole my phone and I panicked thinking I missed messages 😅 She was patient, flexible, and genuinely cared about him AND about us. Dodger came home happy, clean, tired, and FULL of love. His tail literally didn’t stop wagging the entire stay. And I’m pretty sure he thinks Jess’s house is his second home now…which I’m honestly fine with, because I know he’s safe and adored there. Jess and her whole family are wonderful, warm people. They treated Dodger like he belonged with them, and that’s all a dog mom could ever want. We will definitely be booking again (unless Dan steals him permanently 😂). Thank you, Jess, for loving our boy so well. He misses you all already! ❤️🐾 P.s thank you for being so accommodating and helpful with his bath, I loved getting to pick him up early and snuggle him with us the moment he came home🥹💕”
“Thomas and his sons took great care of Tucker while I was away. He responded quickly every time I reached out and Tucker seemed right at home when I picked him up at the end of his stay!”
“Gisel and her family were great with my special needs dog. I could not be more grateful for the love and care. I hope to that this family will be my go to. My little guy was happy to see me but was sad and kept wandering around because I think he was looking for the kids.”
“Fantastic people who took excellent care of my dog while I was away for work. They were very communicative and easy to work with. Also very accommodating when my work training schedule changed. Highly recommend!”
“We are very pleased with the care Pamela provides for our dog! She really takes great care to make our dog feel comfortable. She has a great fenced yard where our dog can run around and explore. Pamela also keeps us posted on our dog’s activities with daily pictures! We wholeheartedly recommend Pamela!”
“No sure where to begin, but from the moment I reached out to Jill & Chad, I appreciated how they communicated. We set up a meet & greet before the booking so my Jax could meet the family. From that moment I knew he would be okay, he had never been away from us for 6 days, so I was so nervous. Let’s just say Jax will be on the recurring schedule ( maybe he’ll get frequent flyer mileage) lol. Jill had an emergency and didn’t cancel, Chad and the boys didn’t miss a beat. They were attentive, sent pics, videos, and updated twice a day, I appreciated that so much. I felt so comfortable and was able to enjoy vacation without STRESS! I give them 5 STARS! We had an amazing experience, if your a nervous fur baby mommy like me, Jill & Chad is the CURE! AWESOMENESS!”
“We LOVE Paris!!! Teddy LOVES Paris!!! This was our first time leaving our fur-baby for a 7 day cruise. Paris sent videos and pics throughout the week. I was always informed and felt included. Teddy was wonderfully spoiled by Paris and her husband and he ENJOYED himself. We are already planning another trip knowing that Teddy will be well well cared for!!!”
“Pat and Bee are A+ sitters. They provide daily updates, pictures and videos throughout the stay. Each time our dog has stayed with them she has come home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend and will book again.”
“Jenn and her husband were fantastic! really took care of the pups and went above and beyond to make sure my older dog (who gets anxious when i'm away and doesn't eat) at well and was not stressed. Highly recommend!”
“We are very appreciative of the great care that Pearl always provides for our dog. This experience, like every other before, was exceptional. We have total confidence that our dog is happy, safe, and healthy whenever he is with Pearl. The dog feels right at home with her every time, which enables us to enjoy our time away without having to worry about him. Many thanks!”
“After multiple sitters canceling, I found Rover and Danielle, who was happy to watch Remi at the last minute. The universe knew what it was doing, as Danielle and Remi bonded the moment they met. As he spent the majority of his life as a puppy mill papa, Remi can be challenging. As a teacher and a mom, Danielle had the skills and patience to work with him. She kept us updated throughout the weekend and it was easy to see the Remi was happy and content. I’m fairly certain Remi didn’t want to come home !! We couldn’t be happier to have found someone to care for our dog like one of her own! Next time we need somebody to care for our pup, she will absolutely be our first call!”
“Barbra is wonderful with our Charlie. I can see from his interactions with her that he trusts her and is so comfortable there. She is kind, accommodating, and has excellent communication. Charlie always comes home happy after a stay!”
“This was the first time I had a sitter watch my dog for an overnight stay. I was nervous but after communicating with Melanie and during the meet and greet I was put at ease. While Shiloh was staying with Melanie and her family I was completely comfortable. Melanie provided daily updates via txt, pictures, and videos and was extremely responsive to my questions/comments. I will definitely use Melanie again and highly recommend her.”
“Rachel was really great! She was really warm and friendly and kept us up to date with photos and details about our 2 girls during their stay. Highly recommend! Will definitely book Rachel again.”
“Theresa took excellent care of my 3 year old Shih Tzu over the weekend. She is responsive, kind, and provided daily updates. I was very comfortable leaving Buddy with her and I would happily leave him with her again.”
“Karen took wonderful care of our precious baby, Bella. She sent us great pictures of her having fun with other pets. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again. Thanks again, Karen!!”

“Brodi did drop-in visits on my kitties Salem and Charlie over the weekend. She made them very comfortable, and Charlie, who is usually shy, even came out for pets on her first meet and greet visit! The pictures Brodi shared also showed me the girls were curious and enjoying playtime, which made me happy. She also made sure the place was nice and tidy when I got back. Two thumbs up!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats my whole life! I had my own cats as a child and have been the person to call for family and friends to check in on their fur babies. I understand all cats are different, from the ones who just need a human to feed them and hang out, to those who love to cuddle. I treat all with love and respect.
“It’s been such a pleasure experience having Leigh as a pet sitter for my two babies. She’s very knowledgeable about cats and made my little shy guy comfortable being around her. This is not something many people can do in such a short time. I’ll definitely book with her again.”
“I travel for work and am able to do so worry-free thanks to Kyle. He takes great care of my 2 young cats and pays them a ton of attention on each visit. He has even carried in packages when UPS messed up my vacation hold!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 8. I’ve had guinea pigs, dogs, and a rabbit. My family currently has one rabbit, Thumper. He is the best! We also have three wonderful dogs…two English cream golden retrievers, Remi and Raven, and a spunky beagle named Snoopy! I was a teacher for 24 years and now I work in a school library. I’m trying to make some extra money on the side. I started doing some dog walking this summer and have truly enjoyed it! I love being outside and taking walks with the pups! I’m available after 4 p.m. and at night too, during the school year. On the weekends, my schedule is very flexible. Since I work for the school system, my schedule is much more open in the summer time, if you need any help! I can take your dog for a walk, so they can get some exercise. I can also stay and play with them! Happy to send pictures and updates too!
About: I’ve been taking care of my two rescued dogs that me and my family rescued 12 years ago. I also have experience petting my friends dogs, cats, and chickens! I am currently unemployed and trying to make pocket money and save for travel so i will use all my time looking out for your fluffy children. I offer drop in visits and walks. I will personally make sure your pet is fed, played with, walked, loved, happy, and well cared for.
“We had a wonderful opportunity to travel to Ireland from May 3rd-12th. Leaving a beloved pet for 10 days can be tough on both the pet and their owners. However, we know what we have with Pearl! Once again, she was amazing! Not only does she stop in everyday to check in; feed; spend time with our cat & send pictures, she even took care of the litter box AND used the Swiffer to pick up the cat hair that tends to accumulate this time of year! Pearl just goes way Above & Beyond what any other pet sitter would do! I cannot say it enough... quite simply, Pearl is the BEST!”
About: I've had cats since I was born! They're my preferred pets and my favorite clients! I'm skilled in recognizing cat behaviors and body language, and I can care for any cat in any life stage. I can handle any messes, administer medication to the pickiest of cats, and get my job done even if your cat isn't a fan of strangers. I can also administer insulin injections!
“Elizabeth was amazing. She came over before we left for our wedding to meet our pets and let them learn her smells. She did exactly what we asked and sent pictures. Our one cat who is terrified of all strangers actually would come out to her and say hi instead of hiding. She will always be our go to when we need a sitter.”
“We felt comfortable trusting our cats with Emily immediately after meeting her. She is very pleasant and thorough. She was also very accommodating adjusting our dates due to illness on our end. We will absolutely book her again!”
“Cassie is fantastic! I just moved to the area and needed someone last minute to watch my cat while I waited for my house to close. She responded really fast and took him in last minute. She has been great to work with! Super nice and sent me pictures and updates and is sending my cat home with a toy that he has been playing with. Cassie has been super flexible and understanding. I’ve had to change my cats boarding dates several times due to the nightmare of closing on my house and she has been super helpful. I highly recommend Cassie and she will be the first person I go to, to watch/board my cat in the future if I ever need it.”
“Mason was a phenomenal pet sitter. She was able to fulfill my need for a pet sitter during a holiday weekend, given less than 2 weeks notice. Mason gave prompt reports on my cat and even fed my aquarium fish and watered my indoor plants. She was patient with my feisty indoor cat, responding mindfully to my cat’s communication cues demanding space. I highly recommend Mason! 5/5 stars”

I always clean during and after my visits to provide that additional piece of mind knowing that your home is cared for as well as your pets.

About: Growing up I was always involved with the care and grooming of my mother's AKC American Cocker spaniel kennel and quickly fell in love with dogs. I've helped deliver 3 liters of puppies ensuring every fine detail of the process was done properly. I've assisted and led many rescue missions for strays and wildlife.

About: I’ve been around animals all my life, & I can’t wait until I’m in a situation when I can finally have my own dog again. I’m knowledgeable about pet care & animal behavior, have great attention to detail, & enjoy learning more. I love every critter I meet (although I am partial towards chihuahuas & pits) & I have yet to meet a dog that didn’t like me. My family always had dogs growing up, & I have experience caring for a variety of dogs of different ages. I’ve only had two pet dogs that went through their entire life cycle with me, & my most recent doggo was a shitzu who came to me when she was 11. I spent her last few years trying to make her as comfortable & happy as possible. That’s the goal for every animal I care for. While this is obviously a job, & I do need the money, I genuinely enjoy getting to be helpful, to make someone’s life easier, & to, of course, spend time with dogs. I figure if I have to have a side hustle, it should at least be rewarding!! Thanks for reading!! I am a waitress- I usually work full-time, but it’s the slow season & we have a server surplus at the moment. I’m currently only scheduled for 3 night shifts a week, so my schedule is pretty open. Even on the days I do work, I would be able to check-in & care for the dogs before I go in, & can check on them afterwards as well if needed. Basically, I currently have plenty of time to fit in pet care. I am comfortable staying at someone else’s place; it would be nice to have a change of scenery every once in a while. Of course, I will treat your house with respect & be sure to leave it as it was when I arrived! If they wanna chill & sleep, that’s fine with me, but if they’re really active & need to play, I will play fetch & tug-o-war for hours on end. I have a car & supplies to take care of a dog if it is needed (snacks, poop bags, leash, blankets, first aid kit). I’m familiar with dog breeds & behavior & am aware of different training techniques so I’m not worried about being able to manage any dog- like getting them in their crate at the end of the night, or establishing a relationship with them, etc. I will care for your pet the way you want, but above all I will always care for an animal with the utmost respect & love, 💕
About: Animals have been my life since before I could walk! I've cared for all sorts of animals in all life stages, and I've worked in pet retail, pet care, and more recently in beginner vet care! I do best with older dogs but I can handle puppies and seniors, and I can administer medications from pills to insulin injections! I have my own pets, so what's the harm in caring for a few more? Given proper advance notice, I will fit your furry friends into my schedule and make sure they get the best care possible! Going away and leaving your best friends behind can be scary and nerve-wracking! I prefer visiting your home when caring for your pets, as it's an environment your animal has already established as a safe place! As a fellow pet parent, I'm happy to say that I'm very much a helicopter pet-sitter. If I notice anything slightly off I will never hesitate to let you know! It's always better to be safe than sorry. I will use my experience in the pet care and vet field to make sure your loved one is safe and happy while you're away!

In your home, I’ll follow your schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and anything else they need, and of course give them lots of attention and love. If they’re staying with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I make sure they have a safe, relaxed space, plenty of playtime, and also time to just chill. I’ll also send updates and pictures so you know how they’re doing while you’re away 😊

“These people are the real deal. They took such great care of my old man. Very communicative with daily picture updates about what he was up to and were quick to get my input on some irritation they noticed on one of his paws. Highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t know how to explain this except: Jess is basically Dodger’s second family now. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for the type of sitter who treats your dog like FAMILY…like actual family…Jess is the one. I honestly don’t think Dodger realized he was being “boarded.” He thought he was on vacation with his new cousins, new uncles, and his new favorite person on earth (Dan 😆). From the minute we dropped him off, Jess was so reassuring and kind. She sent constant updates, pictures, and little stories that made my heart feel so much better. And not just “here’s your dog existing” pictures…NO. We’re talking: *Dodger cuddling her husband like they’ve been best buds for 10 years *Dodger snuggled up with her youngest like they were watching Saturday morning cartoons *Dodger and Tanner acting like long-lost brothers reunited *Dodger eating, relaxing, wagging his tail like a helicopter blade *Dodger getting a whole spa bath after rolling in the yard mud 😭💀 He even chewed through a Kong, which honestly deserves its own award. I warned her he was a super chewer, but I don’t think ANYONE was ready for him to destroy the “indestructible” toy. She just laughed and sent pictures like, “Welp, he’s having the time of his life.” 😂 The whole time she made sure I felt comfortable…even when my baby stole my phone and I panicked thinking I missed messages 😅 She was patient, flexible, and genuinely cared about him AND about us. Dodger came home happy, clean, tired, and FULL of love. His tail literally didn’t stop wagging the entire stay. And I’m pretty sure he thinks Jess’s house is his second home now…which I’m honestly fine with, because I know he’s safe and adored there. Jess and her whole family are wonderful, warm people. They treated Dodger like he belonged with them, and that’s all a dog mom could ever want. We will definitely be booking again (unless Dan steals him permanently 😂). Thank you, Jess, for loving our boy so well. He misses you all already! ❤️🐾 P.s thank you for being so accommodating and helpful with his bath, I loved getting to pick him up early and snuggle him with us the moment he came home🥹💕”
“Thomas and his sons took great care of Tucker while I was away. He responded quickly every time I reached out and Tucker seemed right at home when I picked him up at the end of his stay!”
“Fantastic people who took excellent care of my dog while I was away for work. They were very communicative and easy to work with. Also very accommodating when my work training schedule changed. Highly recommend!”
“We are very pleased with the care Pamela provides for our dog! She really takes great care to make our dog feel comfortable. She has a great fenced yard where our dog can run around and explore. Pamela also keeps us posted on our dog’s activities with daily pictures! We wholeheartedly recommend Pamela!”
“No sure where to begin, but from the moment I reached out to Jill & Chad, I appreciated how they communicated. We set up a meet & greet before the booking so my Jax could meet the family. From that moment I knew he would be okay, he had never been away from us for 6 days, so I was so nervous. Let’s just say Jax will be on the recurring schedule ( maybe he’ll get frequent flyer mileage) lol. Jill had an emergency and didn’t cancel, Chad and the boys didn’t miss a beat. They were attentive, sent pics, videos, and updated twice a day, I appreciated that so much. I felt so comfortable and was able to enjoy vacation without STRESS! I give them 5 STARS! We had an amazing experience, if your a nervous fur baby mommy like me, Jill & Chad is the CURE! AWESOMENESS!”
“Pat and Bee are A+ sitters. They provide daily updates, pictures and videos throughout the stay. Each time our dog has stayed with them she has come home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend and will book again.”
“Jenn and her husband were fantastic! really took care of the pups and went above and beyond to make sure my older dog (who gets anxious when i'm away and doesn't eat) at well and was not stressed. Highly recommend!”
“We are very appreciative of the great care that Pearl always provides for our dog. This experience, like every other before, was exceptional. We have total confidence that our dog is happy, safe, and healthy whenever he is with Pearl. The dog feels right at home with her every time, which enables us to enjoy our time away without having to worry about him. Many thanks!”
“This was the first time I had a sitter watch my dog for an overnight stay. I was nervous but after communicating with Melanie and during the meet and greet I was put at ease. While Shiloh was staying with Melanie and her family I was completely comfortable. Melanie provided daily updates via txt, pictures, and videos and was extremely responsive to my questions/comments. I will definitely use Melanie again and highly recommend her.”
“Karen took wonderful care of our precious baby, Bella. She sent us great pictures of her having fun with other pets. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again. Thanks again, Karen!!”
“Megan and Vincent are truly amazing. As a large cane corso puppy with extreme energy, they did great with her and treatedher as if she was one of there own. We can tell she really enjoyed her stay. Thank you for watching Echo for us while we were on vacation. We will definitely be using them again! We were updated with multiple videos or pictures daily too.”
“Justin and Stephanie are absolutely amazing! We rebook with them every time we need to go out of town because we know our pup will be in great hands! They keep us updated with pics throughout the visit and we’re so flexible when our flight got delayed and we had to pickup our boy late at night! They’re truly the best, cannot recommend them enough!”
“Sharon was wonderful with our dogs! She watched my two dogs and my sisters' two dogs for a weeklong vacation. Our pups are older and take oral medications as well as needing to go out frequently. Sharon handled their issues in stride, and even got my sister's timid anxious dog to warm up. They loved running around in the fenced back yard and snuggling up in the dog room with lots of spaces to take a break. Sharon sent pictures and updates throughout the trip. Would definitely work with Sharon again!”
