“Ebony is always great with JD. He can be shy but this is the 3rd time with her and he actually was waiting anxiously for her to open the door. She sends pictures and keeps you updated. My JD has allergies and she sent me pics to make sure he was ok or did she need to do anything. We will continue using Ebony because we can relax and know that he is in good hands”
“This was the first time Lorri watched our mini schnauzer, Albus. He settled in very well at her house and she took great care of him. Lots of walks, a car ride, spoiled with treats, and plenty of birds and squirrels for him to watch out of the window! Lorri sent us updates and pictures every day which really allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away from Albus. I definitely recommend Lorri, I know it was a great "vacation" for Albus at her house!”
“Katie is an awesome sitter! We left our 10 month old puppy with her while he was recovering from being neutered and she took excellent care of him. Followed all his care instructions and sent us update pictures. She was quick to respond to all of our messages and very nice. We loved that she was close to home and when we picked up scooter early she was very accommodating. We will for sure use Katie again and we’re relieved we have found a safe place for our puppy scooter when we are traveling 🙂”
“Francie was so responsive and gave us lots and lots of updates while our girl stayed with her! She came home happy and seemed like she had a great time! Thanks again!”
About: I have dogs of my own & have taken care of our family dogs while their parents are away as well. We can do any medications if needed. They will have a fun, relaxing time while you’re away! We are home all day and have access to a doggy door/fenced yard to run/potty as well. We have experience with sick, old, puppies, & anyone needing that extra love & attention. We are home full time and have access to play/ take walks during morning/afternoon/evening if you’d like. We have 3 smaller dogs ( 2 French bulldogs/1 miniature pinscher) who are always welcome to new friends to play with. We have a doggy door that exits out to our fenced in yard. We are home all day. Dogs are welcome to hang on our couch or any blanket/doggy bed that they’d choose. We have our own 3 smaller dogs to play with as well (2 french bull dogs/ 1 miniature pincher). We’d feed dogs according to their schedule.
“My dog warmed up to Bryan immediately and really enjoyed her stay there! Bryan is always very responsive and sends pictures to help assure me Kody was in good hands. Definitely recommend!”
“We absolutely love working with Linda & Dwight. They’ve watched our dogs multiple times now, and every stay has been fantastic. Our pups are always excited to see them and come home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Communication is great — we always get the right amount of updates and photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. They follow instructions perfectly and truly go above and beyond every time.”
“Jennifer really helped us out when my daughter brought her baby to town and was worried about Dougie’s loud barking when the baby was trying to sleep. She kept him a few nights and he seems happy and well-cared for. She kept in good touch and made me feel assured that everything was fine…thanks again, Jennifer!”
“Leanne is awesome! She has a huge yard that my pup loved running around in, and she kept me updated every day with great communication. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and would definitely book with her again.”
“Ursula is wonderful! She’s super communicative and paid so much attention to what our dogs needed to feel comfortable in her home with her sweet dog. We are so grateful she took such great care of Polly and Benji!”
“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!”
“Rachel and her family took such good care of Opal, I couldn’t recommend them enough! I felt very comfortable knowing they treated her like their own. She loved playing with Rudy and running around in their huge backyard. They also sent pictures and videos daily, which made being away from Opal so much better!”
“Amie did a great job taking care of Coco and Boomer! We will definitely contact you in the future if we ever need a dog sitter. I appreciate the pictures and updates while we were on vacation.”
“We loved having Lindsay and her family take care of Rocco. She updated up with pictures (and stories!) during his stay. He was exhausted when we got home...a sure sign of a great weekend.”

“Gustavo was amazing! He sent us plenty of pictures and videos to keep us updated and to make sure our dog was happy and comfortable the entire time. He took her on daily walks and gave her plenty of time to play and run in the yard. We will absolutely reach out to him again whenever we need someone to watch our dog! Highly recommend Gustavo!!”
“Teresa did awesome with my dog. She took her for a walk, outside to play, and let my dog nap on her. My girl has separation anxiety and Teresa made her feel welcomed and comfortable. Thank you!”

“Bridget was wonderful! She provided detailed updates and notes every day when she did her visits and always took pictures. It was so nice having the peace of mind that my kitties were taken care of while I was away.”
“Taylor is reliable, trustworthy, and great with animals. She is very professional and thoughtful in her care, and we’d definitely recommend her to anybody looking for a pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Sara was great with my two cats. She was quick to reach out with any questions, and she sent me a ton of photos to put my mind at ease! I will definitely be using her again!”
“Rachel provides weekly care for our dog and is always punctual. She provides excellent feedback, responds quickly, and is patient with our nervous dog, giving him the space and understanding he needs.”
“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!”
“Latasha looked after our kitty (Lazare) and house for a week in July. She was very professional and courteous. She took the time to write down instructions on our meet and greet. Lazare loved her! I appreciated her communication and photos and she also took good care of the house and plants. I wholeheartedly recommend Latasha.”
“Sheronica was great with daily visits to our 2 cats including a daily pill for the older of the two. Very flexible and responsive to questions and changes. Would definitely book again!”
“Our first booking with Zadee went flawlessly. She was super communicative and went above and beyond what was expected. I won't hesitate to ask her to look after my girls again next time.”
“Lauren is amazing! She’s went above and beyond on her visits with our dog - taking her on walks, spending time with her to play, and taking extra care when she was being a picky eater. She kept us updated with pictures and notes and put our minds at ease. She even watered my flowers. She was a fabulous find, and we will definitely book again with her next time. Highly recommend!”
“We are so grateful that Kayla could squeeze us in on short notice. She took great care of our sweet girl and sent us pictures of her! Will definitely book with her again!”

About: I have always loved dogs. My husband and I adopted a beagle 5 years ago and we have just loved every minute of it. We go on daily walks, have plenty of toys and dog puzzles. I currently work from home and will have plenty of time to monitor and play with your dogs. My Beagle Tommy is also dog friendly. We go outside frequently and supervise outside playtime. I have a friendly beagle who loves to play hard and nap hard too. We allow dogs on the furniture and work from home. We do not crate dogs even when leaving the home.
“Ursula was fantastic. She communicated very well with us during Marley's stay at her home. We really appreciated her care for our little dog when we were in Tucson for a brief stay.”
“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.”
About: I have had dogs all my life. I have taken care of every age of dog. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian my entire childhood. I was even going to try and start the process, but then life happened and my plans had to change. My plans took me to being a stay at home mom to 3 kids who also love animals. While I am no professional, I love trying to help my dogs learn new tricks or commands. Once again not a professional, but I do all of my dogs grooming needs myself. I have clippers and a grinder for nails and all kinds of brushes. For the babies not afraid of vacuums I also have a pet grooming vacuum. I can brush bathe and clip dogs nails at the owners request. If you bring your own shampoo the bath will be at no cost to you. If you dont have any it will just be a small fee for me to use some that I have. I am able to give medications if need be. I can also follow special diet routines if necessary as long as you bring the supplies that are needed. I am a stay at home mom for our 3 kids so when your fur baby is in my care they will hardly ever have to be kenneled. Potty breaks can be as often as needed based on what they are used to at their actual home. Daily walks can be taken(depending on the weather). I would be delighted to care for your dog while you’re away! My home is shared with my husband, our three children, and two friendly dogs who love to play in our fenced yard. I also offer daily walks to keep your pup active and happy. I normally follow a two-meal schedule with my own dogs, but I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s usual routine. Since we also have a cat, it’s important that visiting dogs are comfortable around cats. My goal is to make your dog feel as happy and comfortable as possible while you’re gone. If there are any special routines or comforts that help your pup feel at ease, I’ll gladly accommodate them when I can. For higher-energy dogs, I even have experience biking with pups who enjoy an active workout.
“Kristin is a wonderful person and an excellent Rover. My pups absolutely adore her and her dog Jasper and always have a terrific time at her house. They always come home tired and peaceful. I don’t know what we’d do without her. Thank you so much Kristin!”
“Ashley is excellent with dogs. My pup was immediately welcomed into Ashley’ home. Ashley is very responsive and is genuinely invested into my pup. I highly recommend Ashley and will definitely request her services again.”
About: In-home insured training, boarding, and daycare business with 10+ years of professional experience with dogs, from working at a shelter, fostering dogs, vet tech experience, training in a commercial kennel, and running my own training business. I am home most days full time, however some days I leave for 2-3 hours for private training clients, in that time all dogs are kenneled or otherwise contained for safety. The dogs have over a quarter acre fenced in yard to enjoy. I do regular activities, enrichment, and occasional field trips to ensure your pup has a vacation as great as your's while you're gone. All my time is dedicated to caring for, playing with, and hanging out with the dogs. I utilize gates and different rooms to separate dogs out to ensure that they are paired up not just as dogs who tolerates one another, but as dogs who truly enjoy one another's company and thrive together. I require all dogs be crate trained for safety at night, meals, and when I have private training clients at the house.
“Summer was fantastic! She answered all of our questions and truly cared for Tika. She sent pictures and video throughout the day to keep us posted and even took her out for a walk in the park. Thank you, Summer!”
“My girl Gingersnap is older and shy, she doesn't really take to new people quickly. Candela was sweet and patient with her, and at the end of two days Ginger was totally comfortable in her home and didn't want to leave! Candela was also super flexible and accommodating to our schedule, which was so appreciated. We were able to visit St Louis from out of town and do everything we wanted knowing our little bear was safe and happy. What a relief. Thank you Candela!”
“Sarah was amazing with my baby Soup! She is super friendly and very responsive. She took care of Soup like her own and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend her! 😊”
About: I’ve worked at Banfield pet hospital in different states, expanding my knowledge of different species from different regions. My grandmother owned a grooming business when I was a little rascal, which allowed me to be around fluffy friends all day. I work a typical day shift so my home is up and active by 6:30am every weekday and we’re on a walk before I head off to work. Evenings consist of walks before and after dinner. I allow animals to roam home as a part of their natural curiosity. I’ll have very deep conversations with my furry friends because I know for a fact they understand me, just as I do them. I enjoy walking around the neighborhood and, on average, I bike 10 miles a day to stay in top shape.
About: I am a lover of all pets. Young and old, big and small. I can do walks, hikes. Even a play at the park. Your pooch will be pampered here. Experienced sitter. I am at home all the time. My husband works from home. All pets are loved all the day here. Me and my husband are grown up with dogs and we have our own sweet little fur daughter and want to get and share love to more fur babies. I have a fenced yard and a friendly trained dog to keep your baby company. My kids love fur. We walk, jog and can adapt as per your baby needs.

About: I’ve worked at a pet store for over 2 years, and I’ve been a dog bather for about half a year. I’ve always had pets my whole life but i’ve learned so much about our fur babies in the past few years. It’s something that I can do on weekends nights, and on weekends depending on school and my work schedule. Im pretty open though on most nights! I have a fenced yard with a big german sheppard, and two black cats that roam the house. I am always with my animals to keep them company and keep up there needs.

About: Hi my name is Corin a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver!

I respect your space and your pet’s boundaries, ensuring they have plenty of interaction, playtime, and fresh water!
“Kayla took Luna on a lovely walk while I was gone for the day! Luna loved her walk and was definitely tired for the rest of the day. Kayla was very communicative and even arrived early after checking it was okay to do so!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love, care, and patience with every dog I look after. I focus on building trust with each pup, ensuring they feel comfortable and relaxed in a familiar routine.

Your dog will feel like they’re in the best hands, with plenty of love and patience every step of the way! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I prioritize flexibility and planning. With a short 10-minute commute and my work hours from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, I’m able to offer midday walks, quick play sessions, and personal check-ins during lunch breaks or right after work.

My routine allows me to stay consistent with care, while giving your pet the love, attention, and exercise they need every day!

“I highly recommend Sonya and her family for pet sitting! I recently left my dog, Macario, with them while I was away camping for several days, and they took excellent care of him. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was comfortable, well-loved, and treated like part of the family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great stay. They were easy to communicate with, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure both Macario and I felt comfortable throughout the experience. As a dog mom, having peace of mind while you're away is priceless, and that's exactly what they provided. I'll definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Macario!”

She typically has other dogs she is watching so he has playmates that keep him busy and active. He sleeps hard for days after I pick him up, so I know he was having a good time.”
“Dawn was so awesome sending me photos and updates. She clearly loves animals and is very professional and nice. Her dog is really sweet. My dog was a total jerk the whole time and peed and pooped in her house and she was really nice about it. I felt so bad! Highly recommend.”
“Gia had a great time at Laura’s! She got home 2 days ago and still hasn’t fully recovered (in a good way lol). Laura takes good care to keep the doggos busy so they don’t get anxious or miss you too much. Gia got to play with multiple new friends and probably learned a thing or two. Laura is really good about sending pics and videos - and she is very responsive if you send a message to check in. Would definitely use again!”

“Ashley did a great job sitting my energetic black lab for 3 days. My dog can be a lot to handle, but Ashley was so polite and understanding. My dog came home with such a big smile on her face- I know she had a good time.”
“Sonja treated our dog so well I'm surprised he wanted to come home. She sent pictures while we were away of their trip to a park, snuggles, playing, chewing on a bone, and looking very happy. We are happy to have such a high-quality dog sitter!”
“Catherine was great! Coordinating the booking was a breeze. She was very nice and attentive to my pup, Tammy who was so tired from all the playing during her stay. When I picked her up she was in great spirits and couldn't stop smiling the rest of the day. She really enjoyed her time spent with Catherine. I will book again and highly recommend to anyone.”
