“I would give Leah 10 stars if I could!!!! This was my first time using service. I didn’t know what to expect. She made the process super simple. She was way absolutely amazing with my 3 dogs. My very old, very very needy Weimaraner dude barked all night the first night. Unfazed she invited him into her bedroom. Still barking, she calmed him and soothed him all night. She’s excellent with all the dogs in her care. I have found our only sitter going forward. 100% would recommend! 10 stars!!!”
“We were so happy with Katie's care of our dog. It was our puppies first time staying away from us. He is young and full of energy. Katie was patient and very caring. We had daily updates of his progress that were greatly appreciated. We would highly recommend Katie and will be leaving our baby with her in the future.”
“Tim and his wife are the best! I don’t trust just anyone with my pup, but when Chester stays with Tim, I don’t have a single worry! I have used Tim time and time again and couldn’t recommend him enough.”
“Ebony was kind and patient with our dog who isn’t used to being without us. She sent me pictures all weekend and kept me updated on what they were up to! Our dog, Raisin, came home tired but happy - the sign of a fun few days. I am so thankful that Ebony put my mind at ease and made me feel sure that Raisin was in good hands!”
“Laronna has been taking care of our pups for a while now and she is amazing! Our dog absolutely loves her place and is happy each time we drop her off at Laronna’s place!”
“Francie was fantastic! With all of the dogs that she was sitting for she found the time to snap photos of my 2 girls, and keep me updated while i was apart from them! They came home tired, which means that they played exceedingly! I will definitely be bringing them back!”
“Jennifer is such a great sitter! She provided daily updates with info and photos, and sometimes videos too. I knew my pup was having a fun time with her pups and I didn't need to worry about him at all! I highly recommend Jennifer!”
“We were a little nervous leaving our fur babies for their very first night away from us—especially Mario, since he’s only been with us for about four months. But Melanie was amazing! She kept us updated with plenty of photos and sweet messages, letting us know how Daisy and Mario were doing. Her thoughtful communication and genuine care completely put us at ease. Of course, the pups did great with her! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“I interviewed three different sitters in their homes before finalizing a sitter, and Raina's kindness and genuine caring for animals stood out above the rest. She sent me regular pictures and videos of my baby throughout my dog's stay. She gave my dog lots of love, attention, and exercise. When she had a question, she immediately texted. I would highly recommend Raina!!”

We will definitely use Brandon again in the future, Moto had a great time!"”

“Taylor helped check in on our cat while we were away and gave us the sweetest updates. You can tell in her report cards that she aims to form a bond with your pet and ease any worries for owners that their pet is well taken care of.”
About: While I’m still growing my experience with cats, I regularly volunteer at cat adoption centers where I help care for and interact with cats of different personalities. This has helped me become patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs and comfort levels. I understand that every cat is different, so I take my time to build trust, follow routines, and create a calm, stress-free environment. Your cat will be treated with care, respect, and plenty of attention.
“Crystal has been an amazing sitter while I’ve been out of town for work. Great communication, sent pictures and kept me updated on everything going on when she arrived and left my house. She took excellent care of my three dogs, including my senior pup who needs a little extra attention. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!”
About: My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 6+ years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I grew up with a household of furry friends! I am currently stay home mom and I have plenty of time taking care of the pups. I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, I love dogs and have two dogs of my own - toy poodle and golden doodle and have large fenced yard with pet friendly neighborhood. Pups safety is my priority.
“Aubrey was awesome!! She did a meet-and-greet with my lil guy, got all his little quirks and needs down, and took great care of him!! I also was in need of a sitter last-minute and she was very quick to respond, so she was a great find :)”
About: I have owned cats my entire life. I've had some that had litters and given me grand kid kittens. My cats are my children. I have enjoyed the company they provide. The mystical energy they give is unique, makes you want to learn more about the curiosity behind a cat. I have more pictures of my cats, more than family, friends, or myself
About: I have always loved dogs from puppies to senior dogs they all deserve a treat and a belly rub. I love long walks with my dogs cuddles and learning tricks, love playing with your pet as well as keeping your home ad furry family clean. I am currently working part time giving me flexibility to be able to take on more house sitting stays! I love getting to know new areas and animals I am working on saving so making extra money house sitting is a great pass time and I get to get out of living with my family. I like to build relationships with the animals I watch I know they need to get to know me and smell me or they may run right up on me. I take my dog out every 3-4 hours as needed, she eats 2 times a day I try to keep her clean by wiping her feet coming into the course when wet or dirty,
“Kayla was absolutely amazing! She was able to watch our two cats on short notice and came by the house a few days beforehand for a meet and greet. Kayla was so kind and easy to communicate with. She sent pics and notes during each check-in, which was much appreciated. I highly recommend!”
“Colleen was a great sitter to my cat. She went above and beyond for my picky eater. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, and was prepared with great questions to get to know me and my cat.”
“Taro was amazing! This was the first time I’ve left my cat at an overnight pet sitter, and I was so nervous. However, within the first hour of dropping her off, I got an update that she started to explore a little more. Now, my cat tends to be nicer towards women since that’s who she’s used to be around, but she really liked testing the waters with Taro! I had updates about how she would rub against him and play with him! He also provided amazing updates every other day with some pictures as well! I really recommend him, especially if this is your first time booking an over night pet sitter!”

“Pickup and droppoff was easy. From the beginning she handled Ace with care. Once we got home he laid down which is great because I asked if she could get some of his energy out and she definitely did. She also kept me updated throughout the day which I did appreciate. Will definitely be booking again.”
“Nuriya family and home were very nice. Their home is smaller than my dog is used to so he got a little anxious. They took great care of my dog even through the tornado warnings.”
“Our first time using Rover. Meet and greet was very nice and felt like we just made some new friends. I think Charlie was treated like a king. Will definitely be our go to when we need a sitter. 🙂”
“Julie was a life saver! We were stood up by our original sitter, and she took Yuna in last minute. It felt reassuring to leave Yuna with her. Even though it was just for the afternoon, it seemed she got along with Julie's dogs and was exercised enough to have her sleep all throughout our road trip back home! Also kept us updated with pictures which was great.”
“Stephanie was great! She took great care of Sadie for the two days she stayed at her house. She has a nice large and fenced in yard where Sadie could run and play with her dog. She took her on walks and sent me pictures and videos of Sadie’s stay. I plan on going back to her again.”
“Misty and John were very kind to my girls. They were understanding when the one had a stress "incident" immediately upon arrival and they clearly made an effort to help ease her anxiety through the day (she's a total baby and anxious attachment type so new people and places take time for her to adapt to). I am eager to see if my girls grow comfortable enough to use them pretty regularly.”
“Miss Lauren was professional and provided excellent care from the first message to her first time spent with Owen. She came to meet us first so she could learn more about Owen and the things to make their time together go smoothly. I appreciate the care Miss Lauren provided and was so helpful to ensure Owen was comfortable with her. I look forward to having her watch Owen again.”
“I am very pleased Truess met us at the door greeted us with a well warm welcome we chatted for a minute she sent me pictures throughout the day telling me how Sasha was doing. It was a wonderful experience. We will definitely see her again soon. Thank you so much for caring for our baby.”
“Lots of communication and updates, Mango got along well with their dog, Sable, as well. Daycare card was very informative and everything was taken care of for Mango. Would highly recommend.”
About: I can train dogs I’ve trained many in the past and even mine ! Potty train walking on the leash bad behavior with aggressive eating and trained them to be patient as well. I groom clip nails clear ears sometimes I even trim their hair down I’m well at what I do. I was asking God what is it I can do and all I think about is helping others with their animals if it’s Gods will for my life all will fall into place and if your dog needs training I am that person to help you we can make appointments and I can help you with your pet. Your pet will need to have all his or her vaccinations including flea and tick prevention to keep all the animals safe and mines. They have to be crate trained at least and I can do the rest if not I can work on crate training as well. But I will prefer them to be crate trained. Although i pray in Jesus name you pick me to take care of your pets. Cats aren’t allowed in my home my husband is allergic I can only do dogs God bless and Jesus loves you all !!! Every morning I wake to take my pets outside around 6am every morning, I let them play outside sometimes we go on walks depending on the conditions of the weather if it’s to hot then no if it’s to cold then no I try to go on days I know the weather will be okay enough to take walks but I have a big fenced in back yard so I have a lot of space in my back yard to let them all run around and be free. In my home I would do as I always do train feed take on walks when can and have a great time. Although if in a clients home I always follow their rules I use to do wag and I had a high rating I’ve actually helped people with their dogs when they were out on trips and or just at work and needed someone to take their dog outside and that’s what I did never had anyone complain. I am very trustworthy.
“Quia was terrific with my little guy. He is very rarely w/non family members so it was odd for me & him. Her photos & updates were great for me. She's exactly what we needed!”

About: I have taken care of so many different dogs and cats and other pets since I was 10 years old. I have watched for friends and family and really enjoy spending time with pets. I work on reduced time at amazon so I work on Sundays, Monday and Tuesdays and then on thursdays and fridays I work at a dog boarding facility.

I also love when the dogs sleep with me at night. I can also take care of pets that have medications too.

About: Animals have been my life since I was a child. Watching my mom take care of dogs at the local shelters and every animal she had taken care of in my childhood has left wonderful memories. Spending time with animals was always amazing because they felt more a part of the family. I’ve taken care of friends and family animals, and made wonderful bonds with them. I see my own pets as more than just animals, but as my own children and any pet that I take care of that’s not mine I treat as if they are. I recently moved to this state so currently this will be my only occupation until I find something else. Then I'll be part time care. always check in for any health and food necessities. Check and see if they are an indoor or outdoor animal to be more prepared for walks.

A good pet sitter knows how to adapt to all the needs of each animal, and I am so excited for the opportunity to do that for your furry family member! As a teacher, I have very open availability in the summer and love to help people out while they go on vacation! Once the school year rolls around, I am booked and busy, but still love to look for opportunities on breaks or long weekends! I make sure to first build a trusting relationship with each pet and always follow whatever instructions left by the owner because I know they’re in place for a reason! As an owner of an escape artist, I take extra care monitoring animals when outside, even if it is just in the backyard.

I can handle puppy training basics like potty schedules, crate routines, and leash manners, as well as senior care including medication administration and mobility support. You'll get honest daily updates with photos. No fluff, just reliable care. I’m current a college student home for the summer and taking online classes to fill up my time but my schedule is very flexible for your needs. I would say I can promise you that your pets are in great hands since I have always been so attentive with pet care while living with so many animals in my life.

“I would give Leah 10 stars if I could!!!! This was my first time using service. I didn’t know what to expect. She made the process super simple. She was way absolutely amazing with my 3 dogs. My very old, very very needy Weimaraner dude barked all night the first night. Unfazed she invited him into her bedroom. Still barking, she calmed him and soothed him all night. She’s excellent with all the dogs in her care. I have found our only sitter going forward. 100% would recommend! 10 stars!!!”
“We were so happy with Katie's care of our dog. It was our puppies first time staying away from us. He is young and full of energy. Katie was patient and very caring. We had daily updates of his progress that were greatly appreciated. We would highly recommend Katie and will be leaving our baby with her in the future.”
“Tim and his wife are the best! I don’t trust just anyone with my pup, but when Chester stays with Tim, I don’t have a single worry! I have used Tim time and time again and couldn’t recommend him enough.”
“I interviewed three different sitters in their homes before finalizing a sitter, and Raina's kindness and genuine caring for animals stood out above the rest. She sent me regular pictures and videos of my baby throughout my dog's stay. She gave my dog lots of love, attention, and exercise. When she had a question, she immediately texted. I would highly recommend Raina!!”

“Cait and her family have taken such great care of Teddy a few times now. We know he has a blast there with their sweet pup Honey and is given lots of love. Cait is great with communication and always sends daily updates.”
“My puppy had so much with Laura. She sent pictures and updates every day. Laura responds very quickly to inquiries both before and during boarding. I have already booked another stay a few weeks from now. Very pleased with my first time using a dog sitter.”
“"Brandon was very good with our dog, who is large and can have high energy. He asked for any specific care details and provided brief updates throughout our trip. He kindly accommodated an extra day for us on short notice when we had to delay travel due to inclement weather. Would recommend! We will definitely use Brandon again in the future, Moto had a great time!"”
“Linda & her husband were amazing. My dog had a great time, and I loved getting photo updates. I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and attentive. I’ll definitely be booking with Linda again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible sitter!”
“Rachel, Katee and their family were so welcoming to our sweet Kiya! This was the longest trip we’ve been on without her and I felt so much ease knowing they were taking care and loving on her like she was their own. They sent updates everyday and lots of pictures! She loved getting to play with their dog, Rudy and their daughter. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Jamie and Aaron are awesome! They offered a meet-and-greet a few days before our pup's visit, giving us a chance to meet them, their two dogs, and cats. From the moment you meet them, you can tell they really love animals and want to make each of their "guests" feel safe and at home. In fact, I think Row felt so at home at Jamie and Aaron's, he would have been happy to move in! Jamie kept us updated and sent pictures and videos throughout our trip - it was so fun to see him playing with their pups and snuggling in with them on the couch. We'll gladly book another stay with Jamie and Aaron!”
“Katie and her family took wonderful care of our Samoyed, Teddy, while we were away for five days. He can be a handful at times, but Katie kept us updated with daily photos and messages that reassured us he was happy and well cared for. We highly recommend her and would gladly book with her again!”
“Once again Cynthia has shined !!! I couldn't be happier with the service they provided. She kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and texts, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter, they are truly wonderful. Would definitely use again.”
“Tami is the best!! I knew when I was leaving my little guy with her that he was in EXCELLENT hands. She was excellent at updating me throughout the time I was gone with pictures and texts. She was incredibly careful and attentive with my little guy and I would absolutely recommend her to anybody needing her services!”
“Our little Dachshund loves going to stay with Leanne! When we drop him off he doesn't hesitate to go with Leanne. We feel very comfortable leaving him. She is the best!”
