“David was awesome. Great communication, responsive. We felt really good about the way he took care of our little dog. He’s certainly going to be our first choice next time.”
“Great overall! She communicates (sometimes a bit often), but you can tell it’s in her caring nature. She was able to go to rescue my baby after a Rover sitter left him home alone while I was out of town due to an “emergency”. Beverly was there step by step and I wouldn’t know what I would’ve done without her stepping in to get a ride to my place, pack him and his things, and take him in for boarding. She sent me pics and videos to ensure he was well taken care of. I would book with her again!”
“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“Anthony did an outstanding job watching my dog diego! We came in for a last minute trip with family, he updated me with photos very frequently so I felt comfortable knowing he was safe and having a good time. Highly recommend, Diego is now sound asleep on our way back home.”
“We were pretty nervous about leaving our little dog because she means so much to us, but Pattie took AMAZING care of her! From the moment we dropped her off, we could tell she was in a loving, safe, and comfortable home. Pattie kept us updated, was so thoughtful, and treated our pup like family. The sweetest moment was when our dog heard our voices and lit up—clearly she felt happy and secure the entire time! We are beyond grateful and would absolutely trust Pattie again. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, she’s the one! 💗”
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
“Lauren and Kevin & their lil nephew were loving to Lola. I glad she was comfortable in their home with their own pets. I always worry about that because Lola is use to being the only dog in the house. Upon pick up Kevin said they really loved having her and said she was really good so I was so relieved to hear that when you are leaving your pet with new people for 7 days. Thank you again for all the love and care you provided Lola while we were away!”
“Jessica was super easy to work with, accommodating and her energy is 10/10. We have a big rescue puppy who did so well with Jessica, and we think was sad to leave her. Will definitely use again in the future.”
“Amanda is the BEST!!!!! I was very worried about leaving my puppy for the first time ever. Wasn’t sure if I could trust anyone with him while I was out of the country. Amanda put my mind at ease and I was able to enjoy my vacation. My puppy loved her at first site and she loved him. It put my mind at ease. I must say he was just as happy when I left him as when I picked him up. I think Amanda is his new best friend!!! Thank you Amanda for the special care and security you gave Zane!!!! You truly have a soft spot for pets! Amanda is top notch!!!!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Megan. Not only did she send us picture updates of how much fun our dog was having but she also had another dog for him to have fun with. We will absolutely be reaching out to Megan any time we go out of town bc Bruce loves her.”
“Alisa was great with sending photos and videos. Basil seemed happy and active while he was there. Her house is a "Happy Place" for pets with lots of dedicated space for them. We will return!”
“Words can't express how pleased we are. Kerri and her family took our babies in and created a miracle. They were not use to being around other bogs and they barked at every little thing. I don't know what she did but, she has changed these babies, for the good! We will definitely be using her for again. Thank you so much!!!!!!”
“Theresa and Adrian were wonderful, we had absolute peace of mind that our dog Gemma was being well loved and taken care of. Early on Gemma had a few nights of late night barking and fussing and they went above and beyond to comfort her until she settled in. Thank you for taking such great care of Gemma. Frequent updates and great communication were very much appreciated also.”
“Robert took such good care of my girl! I was so nervous at first about her being away but he made sure it was updated and she was comfortable and well taken care of. My dog even got a chance to make some new friends which is amazing. Thank you again so much! I look forward to the next time babygirl has to go somewhere”
“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”
“We were so happy to have Leslie take our little guy for the weekend. She was very responsive and provided photos while we were away. Ralphy had a great time with Leslie and will be sure to book with her in the future. Thanks again!”
“Kayla took great care of my baby Chico. She was very nice and sent messages and updates the whole time during his stay with her. I would definitely recommend her. My dog don’t even walk with me because he’s lazy and he was walking with her. She’s the dog whisperer. Love her”

“Shylah did a great job with our 3 cats! They were happy and healthy, and she gave one of them his medicine successfully. We will definitely hire her next time we are out of town”
“Chelsea was amazing! Our kitty loved her. She is attentive and knowledgeable and takes the best pictures! We never worried about our Kevin once with her looking after him ❤️”
“I'm a trucker and needed someone to watch our cat the same day while we went to Canada. David was available thankfully at the time we needed to drop her off and pick her up even though both times were pretty late. I really appreciated that!”
“Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!”
“Erin was phenomenal with my cat. She had a google form ready to gather as much info as possible about my cat, very well prepared. She took the time to play and give him love while I was away, even provided many photos and a thorough description of how the visit went! Would highly recommend for anyone who needs someone to watch their pet(s)!!!”
About: I Foster 3 cats over the years , I end up keeping one for our family . I babysit family and friends fur babies while they are away.If have a schedule for your fur babies I am willing to keep on the same schedule , for walks for playtime.
“Cheyenne did a wonderful job taking care of our cats! She went the extra mile and cleaned their litter boxes (even though it totally wasn't necessary), took tons of pics and spent extra time giving them lots of love and scritches. Absolutely would book again!”
“Keana is absolutely reliable and accommodating. Our cat feels clearly comfortable around her. It is nice to know she is well cared for while we're out of town. Keana kept me in the loop and regularly send pictures with her updates. Definitely recommend her! Already rebooked her for another visit.”
“Makayla has been a lifesaver. She has been great with all my fur babies. Even my most fearful cat has warmed up to her. She also has great communication. I’ve already utilized her services multiple times and will continue to.”
“WOW! Lindsey was amazing. More than amazing. Everything I could hope for in a sitter. Within 2 days she had my super shy girl sitting on her lap. This took my husband at least a year and a half to get to that point. She sent pictures showing the same shy girl playing with a wand without the other two cats butting in. They all loved her and from what I could tell, each kitty had equal play and loving. I came home to clean litter boxes, fresh water, happy cats, and a vacuumed house! She genuinely cared about my babies. I almost want to take trips just to have Lindsey come over and love on my cats ❣️”
“Isabelle was amazing! I loved reading her descriptions of her visits and the photos of my babies 💖 I was comforted on my trip knowing she was taking such good care of them. I could tell she really loves animals and my cat MooMoo definitely misses her already lolll, I'll for sure be booking again in the future 💕”
“January was an awesome pick to watch over my cat Yozora. She was patient with her while she was scared, played with her when she was ready and kept her fed. What more can I ask for”
About: I’ve been providing dependable, loving pet care for 6+ years, and what sets me apart is the level of comfort, patience, and genuine attention I give every pet I watch. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away not just “watched.” I have experience caring for pets of all personalities and energy levels, including playful puppies, anxious pets, and senior dogs who need a gentler pace and extra patience. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and making sure every pet receives plenty of affection and companionship. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel reassured while they’re away. My goal is always to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. 🐾
“Shelly did everything I asked her to do. She was great about posting updates each day. I have had sitters in the past who didn’t pay careful attention to instructions and texted me often while I was away. Shelly paid attention and handled this job as a professional. I would definitely hire her again!”
About: For 18 years I’ve lived with multiple cats and since I was old enough I have been taking care of them. I currently have two cats one of which we got as a 2 month old kitten so I have experience with small kittens. I have administered oral medicine to my kitten when she was 3 months and had gotten a respiratory infection giving me experience in giving medicine to cats especially a very young one. I have experience cleaning cat litter and feeding cats.

“Pattie was wonderful with Pepper! She communicated consistently throughout the day while being respectful of my work schedule. She sent plenty of pictures and clearly spoiled our baby girl. Pepper came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely use Pattie again for care when we need it.”
“Anthony was great. We did a meet and greet and when I dropped her off the day, he sent me lots of pictures to reassure me Tilly was content and safe. He took her for walks and spoiled her. I plan to use him again. 5 stars.”
“Friendly, professional, compassionate, attentive,.courteous and so much more...Beverly is a phenomenal caretaker for my precious little furrbaby. She communicated with me regularly during her first visit and that put my mind at ease. I only have positive things to say about my experience and plan to rebook. Thanks Beverly 💎”
“Had a great experience with David! He was incredibly kind and flexible. He made sure my dog felt comfortable and happy—taking her for a car ride, going on walks, and giving her plenty of attention. It was clear he genuinely cares for the dogs he looks after. I felt confident leaving my dog in his care and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. It warms my heart to see my fur baby so excited to see Sheila. In the past when I took her OTHER places she dreaded going and would pull back. With Sheila she runs to her giving me the comfort I need.”
“Constance and Terry were great dog sitters for my pup Obi-Wan. They were very attentive to Obi’s needs, and sent me updates with pictures every day. I will definitely be using their services again!”
About: For over 25 years, our home has never been without a dog. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beloved boy, Blue, this past year, and we deeply miss the daily joy and warmth a pet brings to a household. Right now, our family is in a transition period as our daughter heads off to college to play softball. Before we commit to a new pet of our own, we want to see how her game and travel schedule unfolds so we can ensure we have the proper time and dedication a permanent dog deserves. Caring for your pet gives us the wonderful opportunity to welcome that familiar canine joy back into our lives, while giving your dog a warm, experienced, and incredibly attentive "home away from home" where they will be treated like family. Since I work from home full-time, your pup will have constant companionship throughout the day. I am easily able to step away for regular, timely bathroom breaks, and I love using my work breaks to check in on them, stretch our legs, and truly enjoy their company. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, but please note that one portion of the fence in the back is a bit lower. Because of this, we want to ensure your pup isn't an active "fence-jumper." However, safety is my top priority! My work-from-home setup gives me full visibility of the entire backyard while I work. If there is ever any concern, I am more than happy to accompany your dog outside every time they need to do their business. Daily Routine & Preferences Once the workday wraps up, it’s all about the dogs—longer neighborhood walks and dedicated playtime are always on the horizon! I am incredibly comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic young pups to gentle seniors, provided they are fully house-trained.

“Leslie was great! If you're visiting Dearborn to see the sites, definitely leave your dog with her. Pick up and drop off were so easy and less than a mile from the museum gate. She sent photos and kept our dog happy and loved while we explored.”
About: I’ve always had animals growing up. I feel like they naturally gravitate towards me. This is the first time in a while I haven’t had pets of my own so I would love to care for yours! When booking with me please be advised I have a toddler. Your pet lucks up on double the love, attention, and cuddles with the both of us. I am new to the DFW area and would love to take provide care for your fur baby or babies, showing them nothing less than the love and care you already give them! I have a job but it is a flexible schedule and I pick my own hours so I will be with your pet(s) full-time when you book. I am very attentive. I may not have a fenced in backyard but I have a sizable balcony, dog park in my complex and plenty of walkable sidewalks near my home. I will never take my eyes off your pet when outside and they are welcome on all furniture in my home.

“Jessica was amazing with our new puppy! She was able to accommodate us on short notice, which we really appreciated. She walked him, fed him, played with him, and even introduced him to other little puppies so he could socialize. She greeted me warmly and treated both of us with such kindness. Our pup came home happy and tired from all the fun. We will definitely be coming back!”
“I checked out other sitters and Kerri was the best fit for my fur baby Prince. I appreciate how she is with him and she treats him like a prince. Kerri is very friendly and professional. Thank you Kerri for looking after my fur baby.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I regularly help take care of my neighbor’s dog, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel loved and comfortable. I also volunteer with animal shelters whenever I can because I truly enjoy being around animals. I’m very patient, energetic, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, and I love spending time outdoors on walks and keeping pets active and happy. As a student who also works, I often have gaps in my schedule during the early mornings and midday. I usually spend that time going on long walks or being active, so I thought, why not have a furry friend join me? I enjoy giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need, and I’m happy to fit their routines into my day whenever possible. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine by following your instructions carefully and paying close attention to their needs. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping each other company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away!
“I have had Keanna taking my two large black lab mix dogs for walks several days a week (or drop-ins if necessary during rainy days) while I'm working for a couple months now and she's amazing! The dogs love her! She can take both of them at the same time without a problem and they are much more disciplined now on walks in general because of her guidance. She is very reliable and very flexible and also will be house sitting/dog sitting for me the next couple of times I go out of town. Highly recommend! 🥰🐕🦺🐾🐾🐕🦺🥰”
“Rebecca was great we had a pre meeting where she got to meet and interact with Theo who of course loved her. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I am a big time Animal Lover and have a good sized backyard to let you pet run around and have a good time relaxing. I have plenty of time to watch and take care of your pet, I have no problem walking and watching your pet while you are away. I have a fenced in yard and have a good size backyard to let your pets run around and relax and just to have fun.
About: I have been caring for animals since elementary school. I watched cats and dogs for neighbors and friends of the family. As I got older, I started getting referrals for pets from around the community and cared for those animals too. The arch of my kindness and care is not limited to animals, as I also provide care for the elderly. I cared for both of my grandparents and my father until his passing. I currently provide care and other services to a 104 year-old young lady who is believed to be my community’s oldest living resident and yes, she still walks and does not use a wheelchair. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your pet any day of the week (unless I have another pet scheduled for that day) and at times convenient for most people. I am here to follow your instructions and schedule without deviation. Your fur baby will be feed exactly at the time(s) directed by you, same with any medication(s). For dogs, I will take them outside for walks and indoor/outdoor play as weather permits, and see that their water is always fresh with some treats and cuddles too. For cats, it is play and more play; plus fresh water and treats, then snuggling when we are done.
About: Most dogs aren't badly behaved. They're stressed, confused, or never taught how to communicate what they need. I spent a year training in person under Tess Erngren, founder of GoodDog Academy in Oslo and one of Scandinavia's most established voices in reward-based, fear-free dog behavior work, alongside my own husky, learning hands-on. That year, and everything my own dog has taught me since, still shapes how I work today. I have pet first aid knowledge from that training as well as general first aid experience. Eight years ago, my first husky changed how I see training completely. A puppy class on fear-free, positive reinforcement methods showed me that most of what I thought I knew about training was actually about control, not trust. Force-free doesn't mean soft. It means real structure, built through a dog's own agency instead of fear and appeasement. I don't use an aversive of any kind: no e-collars, no prong or choke collars, no corrections meant to intimidate. Letting a dog choose what to sniff, where to go, and when to disengage builds confidence, not just compliance. That philosophy is the same whether I'm walking a husky who needs to run their nose for an hour, or sitting with a bichon who just wants a calm lap and a familiar routine. A session with me might look like decompression walks, nose work, or simply unstructured time to explore, whatever that particular dog needs that day. I offer walks, in-home drop-in visits, house sitting, and 1:1 training, along with basic husbandry support like nail trims and brushing. My training sessions aren't about teaching your dog to perform on command. I teach you the tools and principles: communication, timing, and how to read what your dog is actually telling you, so you can train whatever you want, on your own terms. My schedule is fully flexible, mornings, afternoons, evenings, or weekends. I'm happy to work around whatever fits your dog's routine best, including last-minute requests when possible. All sessions take place at your home, so your dog stays in a familiar environment. I limit the use of crates as much as possible, dogs do best with freedom and choice, but if your dog is already crate-trained and calm in one, a short session is fine. I offer meet and greets whenever that's helpful. When meeting a new dog, I let them come to me rather than approaching directly, stay relaxed and at their level, and pay close attention to their body language so the introduction happens at their pace, not mine.
“Michelle is nothing short of amazing , she is reliable , attentive and truly cares for my princess comfort , I know princess is in good hands when she’s with Michelle , highly recommended.”
“Izzy is completely trustworthy, reliable, and caring. She gave my dog (and surprise cat), lots of attention and affection. She even worked on some dog training in my absence, which was totally unexpected. I will absolutely ask for her help again .”

About: While this is my first time as a sitter/walker on an app like this I am very experienced with animals including dogs and cats. I am experienced with dog walking and caring for pet’s basic needs. I currently have a very open schedule so I will be able to visit or walk your pets with little scheduling conflicts. I will be attending community college in the fall starting in late August but I will update my schedule when it does change. I take safety for pets extremely seriously. Doors are a high alert area because I know how sneaky some pets can be once a door is opened. I have my own experience with stopping my own dogs and even cats from getting out either by body blocking the door or picking the cats up and moving them to a safe place. While on walks I like to keep my dogs at my side and always stay clear of other dogs or animals.
About: I’ve take care of my neighbors dog since I was 14 and I love animals so I have experience and I know what it takes bathe, feed and etc a pet I’m currently planning on going back to school. In the meanwhile I can do this in the side in order to save money for school. I have a fence yard that they will never be out on the free. Plus they will never without supervision and I will be under my care.

I always worry about that because Lola is use to being the only dog in the house. Upon pick up Kevin said they really loved having her and said she was really good so I was so relieved to hear that when you are leaving your pet with new people for 7 days. Thank you again for all the love and care you provided Lola while we were away!”
“Jessica was super easy to work with, accommodating and her energy is 10/10. We have a big rescue puppy who did so well with Jessica, and we think was sad to leave her. Will definitely use again in the future.”
“Amanda is the BEST!!!!! I was very worried about leaving my puppy for the first time ever. Wasn’t sure if I could trust anyone with him while I was out of the country. Amanda put my mind at ease and I was able to enjoy my vacation. My puppy loved her at first site and she loved him. It put my mind at ease. I must say he was just as happy when I left him as when I picked him up. I think Amanda is his new best friend!!! Thank you Amanda for the special care and security you gave Zane!!!! You truly have a soft spot for pets! Amanda is top notch!!!!!”
“Alisa was great with sending photos and videos. Basil seemed happy and active while he was there. Her house is a "Happy Place" for pets with lots of dedicated space for them. We will return!”
“Theresa and Adrian were wonderful, we had absolute peace of mind that our dog Gemma was being well loved and taken care of. Early on Gemma had a few nights of late night barking and fussing and they went above and beyond to comfort her until she settled in. Thank you for taking such great care of Gemma. Frequent updates and great communication were very much appreciated also.”
“Robert took such good care of my girl! I was so nervous at first about her being away but he made sure it was updated and she was comfortable and well taken care of. My dog even got a chance to make some new friends which is amazing. Thank you again so much! I look forward to the next time babygirl has to go somewhere”
“We were so happy to have Leslie take our little guy for the weekend. She was very responsive and provided photos while we were away. Ralphy had a great time with Leslie and will be sure to book with her in the future. Thanks again!”
About: I've been caring for animals all my life and have grown up with them always in the home. I work hard to make sure they feel welcomed and love while in my care since I know it can be hard for them being away from family. I have fostered and volunteered with rescues and local shelters for 10 years. I have also been a wildlife rehabber for 6 years and greatly enjoy helping all animals in need. I do currently have one dog that is back end paralyzed and loves everyone and everything. Im currently working part time from home so I will always be here with the furry friends I am caring for. I have a daily routine of getting up early, letting the doggy's outside, feeding them breakfast, going for walks when the weather allows, lots of toys to play with, feed them dinner and have a good time together. We also work on basic training and enjoying lots of love and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard, wonderful neighbors and a welcoming environment for even nervous dogs. I have baby gates set up as well to keep everyone safe.
“Vanessa is wonderful!!! She took care of Baker for two nights. Lots of walks and photos throughout his stay. She treated him like her own with lots of snuggles. We are so grateful, and we’ll definitely stay with her again!”
About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. Our family isn't ready for a new dog yet, but we love the company! As a teacher, my summer is dedicated to being home and active! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay
“Emily, Jason & Larry were excellent hosts!! Upon my request for a sitter, they suggested a meet & greet between our dogs. They were welcoming and caring about insuring the dogs were compatible. We agreed on letting Nanook stay. They were very communicative about what our dog was up to, how he was getting along with Larry and they sent photos too. After the stay we were surprised to have received a thank you note and a personalized treat in our bag. That was such a sweet touch! We would definitely book with Emily & Jason again! Nanook enjoyed his stay with them and Larry!”
About: For over 25 years, our home has never been without a dog. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beloved boy, Blue, this past year, and we deeply miss the daily joy and warmth a pet brings to a household. Right now, our family is in a transition period as our daughter heads off to college to play softball. Before we commit to a new pet of our own, we want to see how her game and travel schedule unfolds so we can ensure we have the proper time and dedication a permanent dog deserves. Caring for your pet gives us the wonderful opportunity to welcome that familiar canine joy back into our lives, while giving your dog a warm, experienced, and incredibly attentive "home away from home" where they will be treated like family. Since I work from home full-time, your pup will have constant companionship throughout the day. I am easily able to step away for regular, timely bathroom breaks, and I love using my work breaks to check in on them, stretch our legs, and truly enjoy their company. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, but please note that one portion of the fence in the back is a bit lower. Because of this, we want to ensure your pup isn't an active "fence-jumper." However, safety is my top priority! My work-from-home setup gives me full visibility of the entire backyard while I work. If there is ever any concern, I am more than happy to accompany your dog outside every time they need to do their business. Daily Routine & Preferences Once the workday wraps up, it’s all about the dogs—longer neighborhood walks and dedicated playtime are always on the horizon! I am incredibly comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic young pups to gentle seniors, provided they are fully house-trained.
“Frankie came home tired and that’s a sign of a good stay. We got updates and pictures during our overnight boarding and we’re very pleased. Will definitely use Whitney & Samuel in the future.”
“Chris and Cass were awesome sitters! They are really kind, cool people who love dogs. My Sammy had a blast staying at their place and I know he loved it. I actually felt bad taking him back home because he was having so much fun :) My pup Sammy is a pretty nervous and anxious dude around strangers, but not Chris and Cass. He loved them both and I’m so happy to have met them.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic! Her and Moose gave buddy a welcoming and safe place to be whime we were in town for work. I would highly recommend them! She even was kind enough to pick him up so we could focus on our event. Thank you Elizabeth and Moose, we will see you next time we are in town.”
