“Leanne was absolutely amazing with our two dogs for the holiday weekend. She was very communicative and so great with letting them run around d and enjoy their home.”

“Duke had an awesome stay with Cameron! Cameron went to great lengths to make sure he knew all about Duke and met him in advance so that Duke would be as comfortable as possible. Duke really warmed up and found a comfy spot to rest and got outside time and social time, too. Overall, we're very happy!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Evan and his fiancée! They were very attentive, flexible, and easy to communicate with. They cared for our pups like they were their own and kept us updated with regular pictures and messages, which we really appreciated. Our dogs looked so happy and comfortable the entire time — they especially loved spending time with their sweet dog Chloe! We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“This was Baileys first overnight stay with Katie but it definitely won’t be his last!! I can not recommend her enough!! She sent us wonderful updates and pics every day and was so tuned in to Baileys personality and needs. She was also very responsive and easy to communicate with when we were traveling. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind while we were out of town knowing he was being loved and well taken care of. We will definitely be booking Katie for our next trip!”
“My timid girl had a great stay with Tara. Open communication including daily updates, pictures and videos during her stay. Perfect accommodations to make her feel at home and the fenced yard was a plus! It was really nice not worrying about whether my dog was comfortable and not stressed out while we were away from home!”

“Yingfei was wonderful with our two dogs. She met them ahead of time and asked great questions about what kind of care they needed. Both of my dogs take medication and Yingfei was willing to administer this. She sent pictures and videos daily and gave great updates. My dogs ate and slept well at her home and returned home happy. I had a great experience with Yingfei and will definitely use her again.”
“Kristen is so loving and sweet to our Teddy. She updated us every morning on how he was doing and through out the day. I could not be happier ♥️ I know Teddy is going to be happy to go back any day and so will we!”
About: Former vet office employee turned SAHM looking for pets to love on from my home. Excited to give quality attention to every pet in my care. I’m a stay at home mom to one kiddo so we are home most days/ evenings to play in the yard, go on walks, or just snuggle on the couch. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play with our 3 year old poodle, Frankie. We will do everything we can to make every pet feel safe and comfortable.

“Kacy was great- detailed updates and everything was in good order when I returned. She is great with my two elderly kitties who enjoy the attention. Even their finicky eating habits were addressed successfully. Thanks!”
About: I've been the go-to dogsitter for my friends and family for nearly a decade. Over time, they recommended me to others, and dog-sitting became something I'm passionate about. I've cared for dogs of every size from a pomeranian to a great dane. I have experience with puppies & potty training and caring for elderly dogs. It can be hard being away from your pets when away, as I've experienced with my own dog. I'll do everything I can to make you and your pets feel as happy and comfortable as possible. I'm always a text or phone call away and am more than willing to send updates throughout the day. Since I am a remote writer (and homebody), I can stay at your home and make sure your pets are being watched & cared for 24/7. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! As a remote writer who would rather spend all day with dogs than anything, I'm free 24/7 , 7 days a week as long as I have some notice. Whatever your pet walking or feeding schedule may be, I'm happy to adapt to keep your pets routine. I prioritize your pet's safety and comfort while respecting your home. I will follow your specific instructions and keep your home secure. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos to keep you informed and at ease while you’re away.
About: For the past ten years I have helped friends and family alike watching over their pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, turtles, hamsters/mice, and birds. Whatever the needs are, I am here to assist and allow you to have peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. I treat all pets like they are my own. I’m available for most all bookings. I am free on the weekends and weekdays. On weekdays I am usually free after 5 and weekends can be made available to suit your needs. Do you have special instructions or pets with special needs? No problem. I pay great attention to detail and can assist in the specific care you may need.
“Chayanne was great. She was flexible, able to meet me at the last minute and take the job. She was there everyday on the day/time I requested and stayed for 30 minutes giving my cat lexi some much needed company and sending me pictures of her. Highly recommended.”
About: As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’ve personally raised and cared for animals of all ages, from rambunctious puppies and curious kittens to calm and loving senior pets and I’ve seen several of my own pets through their full life spans. This has given me deep experience in providing age-appropriate care, whether that means extra playtime and training for younger pets or gentle attention and medication support for seniors. I’m comfortable and experienced with most dog and cat breeds, from small lap dogs to large, energetic pups, and from independent cats to cuddly companions. I know that every animal has a unique personality and needs, and I take pride in getting to know each one individually to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. One of the biggest advantages I offer is that I work from home full time. That means your pet will never be left alone for long periods and will get consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a calm environment, lots of affection, structured routine, or just someone to hang out with, I’m here to provide that kind of care in a homey, stress-free setting. I genuinely treat every animal I care for like family, and that means tons of love, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home full-time, my schedule is very flexible, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent care and companionship. I build my day around the pets I’m caring for, whether that means morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or cuddle breaks in between work tasks. I love having animals around; they bring joy, routine, and energy to my day. I have a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, fresh air, and play. My home is pet-friendly and full of love my kids adore animals and enjoy helping care for them, offering even more companionship for your pet while they’re here. We also have a sweet 3-year-old dog named Storm, who’s been around both dogs and cats her whole life. She’s laid-back, friendly, and used to having furry friends around. Because I don’t have to commute or leave the house for long periods, I’m able to give pets my full attention and adjust to their individual needs, including potty breaks, medications, or just some quiet time if they’re more relaxed. On weekends, I enjoy taking dogs on longer walks or play sessions in the yard or at nearby pet-friendly parks (with your permission, of course). Caring for pets isn’t just something I squeeze into my schedule, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. When pets stay in my home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home. I start by learning about their routine, habits, and preferences so I can maintain consistency with feeding, potty breaks, sleep, and play. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to run in the yard or prefers to nap in a quiet corner, I adjust my care to meet their individual needs. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. Inside, pets have free roam of the main living areas, unless you prefer otherwise. I offer plenty of one-on-one attention, including playtime, snuggles, and positive reinforcement. For pets that need a crate, I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep their routine consistent. I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I also have a friendly dog named Storm who’s used to being around both dogs and cats. Cleanliness, safety, and affection are my top priorities. I make sure pets always have access to clean water, follow any dietary or medical needs, and create a calm, welcoming environment where they can feel right at home.
About: I have worked with cats of all size shapes and temperaments! From your kittys that just want all the love to those who just need me to fill their bowls I’d love to take care of them while you’re away!
About: Hi there! I’m a pediatric nurse, but prior to nursing school I worked as a vet clinic kennel hand and then later as a kennel manager at a boarding/grooming facility. I currently live with my husband and our two dogs, but miss spending time with more dogs! I’d love to help you out with your “goodest” boy or girl. You can rest easy knowing your pup would be with a responsible, reliable, and experienced new friend! I am available all day Monday, Friday, Sunday, and most Saturdays. I’m also available every day after 7:30pm for evening visits! Although I work full time, I am happy to communicate my availability & be flexible. I can accommodate any of your requests in your home for drop in visits or walks. I’m comfortable with all breeds and any special/medical needs. I care for my own senior pup with special needs at home too! Our furry friends deserve the world and I’m happy to respect your routines to keep your pup’s tail wagging.
“Corensia did a great job taking care of our cat Gloria and the outside birds, as well as picking up the mail and packages every day. I appreciated the great photos and could see that Gloria, who is very shy and timid, allowed Corensia to let her and run her belly! Amazing! Thank you. I would definitely use Corensia again.”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of each dog's unique needs and personality. I make sure to provide personalized care, attention, and lots of love, so every dog feels comfortable and happy. I also have experience with different breeds and can handle special requirements like medication or specific exercise routines. Plus, I keep clear communication with pet owners to update them regularly. I’m currently full time pet sitter :) and I also do pet delivery from state to state. I also do babysitting as part time and nanny as part time from time to time when families are needing me. I have fenced yard. I have a 2 months old cat, who’s very friendly and sweet. I was told she was good with other dogs and she’s lovely with cats.
About: I am an Ace certified personal trainer. I am a very active person, so I will make sure your pet engages in lots of play time and gets plenty of exercise during their stay. I have a very large fenced in yard which will give your dog lots of space to run and play. I grew up living down the hill from my grandparents farm which included cows, pigs, chickens, lots of barn cats and dogs. I was the kid that was always finding hurt or stray animals and bringing them home to care for. I live in the country and all three of our cats are strays that that my husband and I took in. We also have a dog. I look forward to caring for your pet!
About: Hi! I’ve been a cat lover my whole life ever since I was born, I’ve always had a cat by my side. I grew up on a farm with both barn cats and house cats, and I’ve cared for two full litters from birth. From fluffy Maine Coons to fancy Persians to sweet strays, I’ve loved them all. I’m great with cats of all temperaments — shy, spicy, or snuggly — and I know how to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Cats are truly my favorite pet, and I’ll care for yours like they’re my own!
“Tracy was amazing. She was so good with our kitties. She took lots of photos and gave us great peace of mind leaving our kitties under her care! We will 100% be booking with her again.”
About: What sets me apart is my combination of medical experience and attention to detail. I'm comfortable administering medications including injections and fluids so pets with chronic issues or post-surgery needs are no problem. I also genuinely don't mind (and actually take pride in) deep-cleaning litter boxes, cages, and small animal enclosures. You'll never come home to a lingering smell or a corner I've skipped. Reliable, thorough, and unfazed by the messy parts of pet care.
“Billie was fantastic! Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She reached out regularly and sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going well. Additionally, she kept me informed about any packages that arrived. Billie also coordinated seamlessly with the next house and pet sitter, ensuring a smooth transition. The next sitter said the house was clean and my cat was well taken care of. I highly recommend her services!”
“Barbara was fantastic! She was incredibly reliable and took great care of Murphy while we were out of town. She kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind knowing Murphy was safe, happy, and well cared for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter.”
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
“We're new to the area, and needed a sitter to take care of our four cats while we drove our car cross country to our new home. I'm so glad we found Diane! She took amazing care of our two geriatric cats who need pills and injections, and gave us assurance that they were on track with their meds. We got so many excellent photos at each visit, and we knew that our babies were getting lots of play and cuddle time. We'll be repeat customers with Diane again - highly recommend!”
“This was our first time leaving our baby with anyone other than her grandma and we were very nervous. TeAsia eased our worries and gave us daily updates and photos and videos. It takes Sylvester a little bit to get used to people but she took to TeAsia right away. She seemed well cared for and loved. Overall we were very happy with our experience.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for the past 10 years. Previous neighbors have trusted me with pet sitting and walking their dogs. I work from home so I am easily able to give your pets the care they need at all times. My 11-year-old daughter usually joins me-she’s an amazing helper! She loves all animals and they all love her! Pets & parents must be comfortable with her being part of the care team! I have a spacious, fenced-in yard and work from home, so your pet will receive lots of attention and care! Our family dog, an 11-year-old German Shepherd, sadly passed away in 2024. While we aren’t ready to welcome a new dog into our lives, I truly miss taking care of a pet. That’s why I see pet-sitting as the perfect way to share my love for animals.
About: We live on 5 acres, approx 1/3-2/3 acre fenced. I am an experienced, responsible person that is also timely and dependable. Our 2 labs are very spoiled. I’ve had dogs for 20+ years and am experienced with giving pets medications if it is required, as well as feeding them. I also have senior pet experience. Medication & food would need to be provided by pet owners. We can accommodate overnight stays. Pets can be in crates or in beds depending on your/their preference. I treat every pet special. Currently my availability is open. I am an early riser up by 5am daily. I work from home and pets can access a fenced yard. I’m familiar with providing daily meds & special meals/food for pets as well. Our 2 labs are friendly and get along with other dogs. Both our dogs are fixed (spayed & neutered). Our backyard is fenced and secured. Our deck has a ramp (no stairs) so easy access for puppies and senior dogs. When you dog is in our backyard they will be supervised. We allow dogs on our furniture.

“I highly recommend Evan and his partner as a pet sitter! They took wonderful care of my two dogs for a couple of days and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. They were friendly, responsible, and flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. My dogs came home happy and well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups!”
About: I love big dogs, little dogs, and all in between. I've had two wonderful Golden Retrievers and I'm looking forward to caring for your furbabies. I'm retired and am now looking forward to an enjoyable career as a pet sitter. I'm available 7 days a week, very flexible schedule. My husband and I are retired and are both huge animal lovers. Our Goldens crossed the Rainbow bridge and petsitting is a way to fill the void they left in our lives. We did have a beautiful cat but she passed away from cancer in September 2025. We no longer have any pets in our home. Since I am retired I'll have lots of time to spoil your pets! I'm an early riser so a walk first thing in the morning is fairly routine. Dogs are taken on short walks 3 or 4 times a day and given lots of love and attention. If owners are ok with it they are allowed on furniture and are allowed to sleep on my bed.
About: We love any and all animals! We have two fur babies of our own that love to meet new friends. We have cared for animals with special needs, have lots of experience with a variety of needs and personalities, and I have trained a service dog of my own! Your pets will be treated like family! Lots of play time, rubs and loves, treats, and snuggles! We also are within walking distance of a great dog park that we frequently take our babies to. Your pets can tag along with us if you’d like as well! Your babies are guaranteed to have a world of fun while you’re away, and come home tails wagging! We love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, and can't wait to me yours!
“Wendy and her husband did a terrific job of watching my little guy Toby. You can tell immediately they are dog lovers and treated Toby just as one of theirs or better! I would definitely recommend Wendy if you're looking for a good dog sitter.”
“Kirsten is AMAZING! I met her the day before I dropped Ringo off with her & she was fabulous! She’s so sweet & so so good with Ringo! She sends pictures & updates all through out the day! 10/10 recommend her! You WILL NOT be disappointed! She is absolutely FABULOUS! Ringo LOVES her!❤️❤️”
“Molly is a great sitter and I 100% recommend her. Her house is very pet friendly and her children are respectful and kind toward the pet guests. Their family's dog is super sweet and got along just fine. The yard is perfect for the dogs to run around and play and sniff. If I could afford it I'd bring Chloe here more often just to get some "dog time".”

About: Iv been around and taken care of all types and sizes of animals since I was little and always had such a love for them. Im currently looking for some extra work to fill my time until i have full books within my field of business. I also adore all animals and would love to spend my days with them. I have a fur baby at home who I play with and walk all the time, who love to have company over to have someone to play with.
About: I’m a devoted dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I raised one of my English Bulldogs through all 13 years of his life and currently care for my active four-year-old bulldog every day. My experience has taught me how important patience, consistency, and personalized care are in helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup needs walks, cuddle time, companionship, or playtime, I’ll treat them like my own dog and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 😊 I work remotely from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and consistent care throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and companionship. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and love making pets feel comfortable, active, and cared for while their owners are away Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to make sure they are comfortable at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10, not just my own, but also those friends and family. Every time someone traveled or needed support, I'd take care of their dogs, turtle, fish and most recently cats. A year ago, I decide to offer that same care (in a formal way) to other families, just like others have done for me when I couldn't be home. Knowing someone loving and trustworthy is with your pets makes a difference. That's what I offer: presence, love, and support, so your pets feel safe and seen, even when you can't be there. As a life insurance agent working from home, I'm blessed with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present, for both my family and the pets I care for. I'm a mother of 3 independent and loving daughters (ages 9,13, and 15) who have grown up around pets, and our routine flows in a way that supports my ability to offer calm, focused care, which allow me to be able to dedicate myself with love, presence and intention to the pets whose families trust me. I know what it feels like to open your home and trust someone with your pets (I've been in that side too) it's a big deal. That's why I show up with love, respect, and warm heart. I talk to your pets, care for them gently, and treat them like family, because that's what they are. I'm not just there to feed them or walk them, I'm there to make sure they feel safe, seen, and love until your return.

About: I've had multiple pets all my life and strive to make their day as better as their last. I have a true strong passion for animals. I will be providing dog walking, house sitting and drop ins for dogs and cats. I have lots of experience with both, from taking care of my own pets to watching others in the past. I work, but am very flexible with my hours and open to most days and times. I'm outgoing so would be able to play and be active with pets that need to burn energy and like to have fun. I'm open to taking pets to a park or on trails to go on adventures. I'm very responsible and respectful. I'd treat every furbaby like they were one of my own.

About: I’ve had my own pet sitting business since I was 12. After starting college, I have taken up pet grooming for the past 2 years. I do handle elder and young pets aswell. A lot of the time we take a trip around the neighborhood or hiking on a nearby trail to burn extra energy. I do currently work full time from home. I do have to go in some day to help out with the kids, but no longer than 4 hours. I have an unfenced yard and a lab myself. The pets are aloud to roam around and lay on furniture if that’s ok with you. They will be provided with 3 full meals a day unless stated otherwise and let out every 2-4 hours.

About: Hi! I'm an experienced and dependable pet sitter with over 8 years of pet and house-sitting experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also spent one year working at a boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for multiple pets in a professional setting and learned the importance of maintaining routines, providing enrichment, and recognizing signs that a pet may need extra attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has unique needs. My 7-year-old Labrador is diabetic, so I'm comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and insulin injections. Whether your pet needs extra medical care, a consistent routine, or just lots of love and attention, I'm happy to provide compassionate, reliable care. During the week, I'm available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight house sitting. My weekends are typically booked, so my availability is primarily Monday through Thursday! My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, while giving you peace of mind through dependable communication and attentive care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently in school and work full-time at a hospital Friday-Sunday. Due to my restrictions on the weekends, my primary availability is during the week. I am available for drop-ins or house sitting during the week and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I also love to send updates throughout the time I spend with your pets, so expect some cute photos!

About: I've had pets in my family since I was a kid, and I have taken care of foster animals, family pets and friends pets throughout adulthood. I have taken care of pets who have medication needs and environment needs (scared of thunder and such.) I work for myself, so I am able to work around my work hours accordingly and easily to provide the care that is needed for my clients. My care is adaptive to each pet family's needs and home. I am an observant person and pay attention to the details while caring for pets. I cannot take on daycare or boarding services right now, but I am more than happy to take dogs for walks, care for cats, and pet sit while you're away.
“We have used Barbara multiple times. She always communicates well and is extremely nice to our dog. We appreciate having someone so reliable and never have any doubts about the care and attention given to our dog. Would absolutely recommend her.”
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.
About: When I was young I started dog sitting my neighbors, families and friends dog and I’ve love it since then. Dogs are my spirit animals and they deserve the world! I work in a hospital and have a part time job. After 3-4pm I can definitely hangout with your pups. Whether for a walk or go to the park. Provide a balanced and appropriate diet for the pet based on its species, age, and health requirements. Avoid overfeeding. Always ensure access to fresh, clean water for your pet. Regularly check and refill the water bowl to keep your pet hydrated. Engage your pet in regular physical activity suitable for its species. This could include walks, playtime, or other forms of exercise to keep them healthy and active. Depending on the type of pet, grooming needs may vary. Regular grooming such as brushing, bathing, nail trimming, and dental care are essential for their health and well-being. Spend quality time with your pet, provide enrichment activities, and consider socializing them with other animals if appropriate. Maintain a clean living environment for your pet. Regularly clean their living space, wash bedding, and remove waste promptly to prevent odors and maintain hygiene. Make sure home is pet-proofed to prevent accidents or ingestion of harmful substances. Keep dangerous items out of reach and provide a safe space for your pet to rest and play.
