“Kristina did a great job communicating and sending a lot of pictures! Tokyo seemed to have a great time with her pups. I will be booking again with her in the future!”

“Gracie spent 8 days with Lynn for the first time and seemed to really enjoy her visit. She was perfectly at ease with Lynn upon meeting her for the first time and came home relaxed and happy. We will use her again.”

“Sherron took such amazing care of our sweet pup! She gave nice updates that made us feel great about how she was doing and allowed us to have a stress free trip knowing she was in great hands! We felt like Nala was treated as one of her own and taken on walks and given scratchies and lots of love/attention! We would highly recommend Sherron as a safe place for your fur babies to stay!!”

“Our dog, Baxter, enjoyed his day of play at Susan’s house. The setup was great, wonderful large backyard. Baxter is one of those guys that just doesn’t like going to a kennel (shakes like a leaf). We felt completely comfortable leaving him and have already booked additional stays. Thanks, Susan for taking great care of him.”

“Our travel anxieties were put to ease with Manny watching our pups. He has an abundance of knowledge and love for dogs and we knew ours were in good hands. We definitely will be booking again with him!”

“Gwen and Dalton take the best care of our sweet dog. They take him on walks, play lots of fetch and give him all of the love! I receive photos daily, which is nice. Their dog, Kato, is the sweetest guy and even runs his own Instagram account! Check it out - you won’t be disappointed! (@katobugandfriends) I’m already planning to use them for our next trip!”
“Absolutely! Here’s a quick draft for you: ⸻ I recently had Ashley take care of my dog, Paisley, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Ashley was incredibly attentive, kind, and professional. Communication was smooth, and Ashley provided regular updates, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Ashley for anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

“Kristen was convenient for me. She communicates well and regularly. She was flexible with pick up and drop off times. She treated my dog Jack as if he were her own. I will be delighted to use her again when the need arises.”

“We LOVE Courtney and her family. I really don't know what we would do without them. Im so very thankful that we found them awhile back. They always are our 1st go to. Dixie loves her dog Tanner, and so glad she has a friend to always play with.”

“A wonderful setting and environment for your dog lots of nature. Trixie looked healthy and happy. I got good feedback on the behavior of my pup. Very warm and welcoming home for pets.”

“Tristan was awesome with my nervous dog and gained her trust super quickly. We did doggy daycare / day boarding and Tristan made sure Ricochet had lots of fun during her stay at her house. We were super happy with everything and plan to book again in the future.”

“I left my Trixie with Ashwani and Garima for 9 days and I can say they were wonderful with her! I got pictures and video updates making me feel good she was having a great time. I will definitely use them again and recommend them 100%”

“Anna did a great job caring for our Bruno. She was communicative and reliable, and sent regular updates so we knew he was in good hands. We had a flight delay and Anna accommodated our late pickup time, which we really appreciated. Thank you again, Anna! Would definitely book again.”

“We are repeat clients of Julie, and once again, her care for our dog was as exceptional as ever. This time, we had to leave unexpectedly due to a death in the family, and Julie and her family were incredibly accommodating and understanding. Their kindness and flexibility made a difficult time a little easier, knowing our pup was in such great hands. We truly appreciate the love and attention they provide, and we'll continue to use Julie's services without hesitation. Highly recommend!”

“Kara was great with my baby Siggi. I've recently moved and needed a sitter for a trip where I could not take my dog. Kara was able to accommodate my schedule and kept me updated while I was away. Siggi seems like she had a good time :)”

“Jimmye Sue was perfect for my pup! My little guy stayed with them for about a week right after the thanksgiving holidays and I couldn’t recommend them more. Daily updates with photos and videos, and some dog friends, treats, walks to keep my dog happy while I was away. They were really thorough on asking me questions about my pup too, so I felt really assured that my dog was in great hands. Pick up and drop off was super easy too.”

“Had to book last minute and Billy was very accommodating. My pup was very well taken care of, and exhausted when he got home, which was great. Definitely will use again.”

“Royce is truly a gem. She is so kind with my cats and was kind enough to wash dishes in the sink despite that not at all being her responsibility. She is just vsry thoughtful. Thank you so much for being the best to my furbabies!”

“With Tristen, all relief that my little’s were safe and sound and attended to meant the world to me. I was free to be the mother of the groom and focused on my son, his bride and the different events in their ceremonially weekend 💗 Thank you Tristen, and for the photos too.”

“Kristen did such an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were away. Our plans changed slightly and she was very accommodating and responsive to help however needed, which we appreciated so much. Will use her anytime we can and highly recommend, thank you!”


About: As a life-long cat owner myself, I understand that every cat has their own personality and routine. I currently care for a special-needs cat with FIV who has no teeth, so I'm experienced with specialized feeding routines, monitoring their well-being, and providing patient, attentive care. I'm comfortable caring for cats in familiar and new environments. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or just prefers their own space, I'll always respect their routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they need.
“Errin is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. She took excellent care of all our kitties and they were happy! She spent quality talking to and loving on them. Even my scaredy-cat Fate came out the last day to check Errin out which is very impressive. She loves the fur babies she cares for and it shows. I will definitely book Errin again and highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

“I have large guardian breeds, and finding someone I trust with them isn't something I take lightly. Kate has consistently exceeded every expectation. She's calm, confident, responsible, and has a natural ability to connect with dogs that can be intimidating to most people. What truly sets her apart is her proactive communication. I never have to wonder how things are going because she's already sent an update, photo, or thoughtful note before the question even crosses my mind. She treats communication the same way she treats pet care—with attention, professionalism, and genuine care. Kate has that rare combination of reliability and intuition. She notices the little things, anticipates needs, and makes both pets and owners feel completely at ease. Whether it's managing routines, handling strong personalities, or simply showing up consistently and dependably, she does it all with grace. My dogs don't hand out trust easily, and neither do I. Kate earned both. If Rover had a Hall of Fame, she'd be in it.”

About: I have had animals my whole life, my experience has entailed caring for dogs in their basic needs, maintaining training and working on other commands, as well as taking them to any appointments that were in order. I really enjoy time spent with dogs, and just like me I understand that most people consider their dogs to be family. I like meeting new dogs and learning all their little personalities. I would be great as a sitter or walker because I genuinely care about animals and feel that they make life so much more fun and enjoyable. I have experience with both larger breeds and small breeds so I am comfortable around all different kinds. I wish I could have more animals so this is the only acceptable alternative :)

Chelsey took the time to get to know our dog, her play and food habits, and she makes sure Maggie is loved for the entire visit.

About: I have always had pets in my life, mostly dogs. Life would be too lonely without a furry friend to cuddle. I have taken care of our dogs, cats, hamsters, and guinea pigs over the many years. We homeschool so our schedule is quite flexible and we spend lots of time at home or on hikes in the area. Sunday and Tuesday mornings we often have commitments but aren't gone more than 4 hours total. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog. We have one cat as well who is nervous around our dog so she stays behind a closed door in our master suite. My kids also have a guinea pig which stays in a cage in their room and your dog won't have access to. We have tile floors and pup friendly furniture.

About: Welcome to Your Pup's Second Home Hi there! I’m Gunja, and I’d love to welcome your furry family member into our home. Here, every pup gets the love, attention, and care they truly deserve because I know how hard it is to leave your baby in someone else’s hands. We have a large, private half-acre backyard that’s perfect for dogs who love to run, sniff around, and just be dogs. Whether your pup is a sprinter or a sniffer, there’s plenty of room to explore, play, and get some fresh air. It’s a safe, enclosed space where they can roam freely while I keep a close eye on them. One of the biggest things that sets my care apart. I’m home all day, every day. Your dog won’t spend long hours alone or in a crate waiting for someone to come check in. They’ll have my full, undivided attention from morning to night. Think of it as a vacation for your pup, with a devoted human who’s always around to play, cuddle, or just sit together. Medication & Special Needs: I’m fully comfortable administering oral medications, supplements, and following specific care routines. If your dog has dietary restrictions, health conditions, or a particular schedule they thrive on, I’ll follow it to the letter. Every dog is different, and I take those differences seriously. I also have a special place in my heart for senior dogs. Older pups need a little extra patience, and gentleness. Slow walks, cozy resting spots, careful monitoring is top priority here. Your senior baby is in good hands here. Our sweet Maltese, Milo, is the friendliest little guy you’ll ever meet. He loves playing with other dogs and has a way of making every new visitor feel right at home almost instantly. What You Can Expect • 📸 Regular photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing • Consistent feeding and routine based on your schedule, not mine • A calm, quiet home environment. No chaos, no stress • Lots of cuddles, belly rubs, and genuine affection • Open communication with you throughout the entire stay 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 I truly believe that dogs aren’t just pets. They’re family. Trusting someone with your dog is a big deal, and I don’t take that lightly. Whether it’s a weekend stay or a longer visit, your pup will be loved and cared for like my own. I can’t wait to meet them! Being a stay-at-home-dog mom helps so much. Being able to spend all my time with my little pup is so fulfilling. I have all my time to devote to your little furry child and keep them happy and safe while they're away from home and their warmth. We have a pretty comfortable house with no restrictions for your pup. There is a massive backyard that they can have a great time getting their exercise or simply getting their tan on. Of course, they will get their regular walks and any enrichment activity they'd get at home. Milo (our pup) and I, are homebodies for the most part. We're always home to give 100% of our time and care to your pup

“I hit a home run with Shima! I have an 8th month old German shorthair pointer with high exercise demands daily. Shima was looking to gain knowledge in this field and has been walking, running and training my pup for a month now 2-3 times a week. She does an exceptional job with him and is patient to his needs! Working with a GSP can be one of the toughest breeds to work with. I come home and my pup (Troy Aikman) is happy and relaxed! I work a lot during the week so it is relieving to know he is in such good hands. I would highly recommend Shima for your needs. Troy lights up with energy when she shows up! Thank you Shima!”

About: With 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I have a deep understanding of animal care, from cats and dogs to exotic species. I’ve worked with pets of all temperaments—whether they’re energetic and playful or more reserved—and I’m comfortable providing care for animals with special needs or medical conditions. In addition to my veterinary experience, I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting for clients who visit our veterinary hospital, which has given me the opportunity to care for a variety of fur babies in their own homes. I also have experience with exotic animals, having worked at a botanical garden where I cared for a wide range of species. From reptiles to birds and small mammals, I’m familiar with the unique needs and care requirements of different types of animals. Whether you have a cat, dog, or exotic pet, I am fully prepared to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets while you’re away. I have my own fur babies, so I truly understand the trust and love that goes into finding someone to care for your pets. Whether your pets need medications, extra attention, or just a familiar face to keep them company, I’m here to ensure they’re in the best hands possible. I offer flexible and open availability for all your pet sitting needs! Whether you need someone for a few hours, overnight stays, or extended care, I am happy to accommodate. As a pet lover with a background in veterinary medicine, I prioritize the well-being of your pets and can be available on short notice. My schedule is open to fit your needs, so feel free to reach out for any day or time that works best for you and your fur babies! When caring for your pet in their own home, my top priority is ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful, which is why I strive to create a calm and familiar environment for them. With my experience as a veterinary technician, I am equipped to handle all aspects of pet care, from following specific routines to administering medications if needed. I believe that safety and trust are the foundation of great pet care. I’ll make sure your pet is always secure in their surroundings, keeping doors and gates closed, providing supervision during outdoor time, and ensuring they are never left alone in unsafe situations. I also make sure to follow any special instructions you provide to ensure your pet’s routine is maintained while you’re away, from feeding times to favorite toys or special cuddles. I treat your home as I would my own, respecting your space and keeping everything neat and tidy. I also offer updates and check-ins to keep you informed and help ease your mind while you’re away. With my experience and genuine love for animals, you can trust that your pet is in the best hands, enjoying their time at home while you’re gone.
About: I’ve loved all animals for as long as I can remember. I wanted to be a veterinarian growing up but when I couldn’t reach that goal I became a vet tech instead. After being a tech for 8 years I decided to start my own pet supply business. When I’m not meeting pets at events I love to walk and spend time helping people take the best care of their pets possible. I work full time running my fun traveling pet boutique, in my off time I love to dog walk for exercise and to help Other pet parents that don’t always have the time. I treat every single pet I meet like they are my own. Trust me she’s nothing but spoiled and loved 🥰 I can administer meds, give all the head rubs and belly scratches needed and show all the care for your special furry family member. Every pet deserves to be treated with respect and dignity.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and I have plenty of experience from not only volunteering at animal shelters but from helping my friends and family during their trips out of town. I've worked with dogs of all sizes and I have a senior dog myself. I have experience walking, bathing, cleaning up after them and feeding them, I am very patient, observant, and willing to help. I have plenty of time to house sit or check-in on your pets during the week, especially near the weekends, I would love to take them for nice long walks around a neighborhood or park. My pets are very kind of well behaved, I have a lot of patience and understanding when it comes to any accidents or mishaps they may cause, I would treat your pets with the exact same care and attention.
About: As an Adventure Specialist, I offer your pet much more than standard neighborhood walks; I provide enrichment hikes and structured play designed to satisfy both their mind and body. I am highly proficient in reading dog body language to ensure safety in new environments and adapt the pacing and duration of our adventures to suit your pet's specific needs. For shy or anxious friends, I bring a reliable calm energy that fosters a quick, loving, and trusting bond. You can always depend on my professional commitment, which includes strict punctuality and adherence to all routines, expert handling of customized care (such as medication or specific diets), and preparedness with basic pet first aid. Most importantly, I guarantee your peace of mind through prompt, detailed communication, including photo and text updates of all our happy adventures! Pet care isn't just a part of my schedule; it is my schedule. As a full-time sitter, my days are structured around the needs of my animals under my care. This means there are no conflicting work meetings or commutes, allowing me to fully commit to your pet's schedule. I dedicate morning, midday, and evening blocks specifically to walks, feedings, and play sessions, with plenty of time in between for communication and customized care. When choosing House Sitting, your pet receives my full commitment to deliver Epic Adventures and Warm Hugs right in their familiar environment, which I think is the best choice for anxious or multi-pet homes. As your pet sitter, I like to get a detailed overview of your pets' exact routine (meals, beds, schedule) so I can minimize stress and ensure maximum comfort. Our days are filled with Heartfelt Hikes on familiar trails, keeping our adventures safe and enriching, and all potty breaks are timely and consistent. Beyond premium pet care, you gain added home security and peace of mind, as I handle basic home needs like mail and plant care with the same professional attention.
About: I am a Marine Corps Veteran. During my time in I always lived with friends that had dogs and cats. I bonded with every single one of them. It wasn’t until I got out recently that I finally chose my fur baby (to be honest, he chose me ☺️). I rescued him last year, and we have watched watch tv together every single night since. His name is Banana Boat. Aside from my own baby, I absolutely love dogs and cats. All shapes, and sizes, I love them all. I am a pretty much a full time student nowadays, I go to class Monday-Thursday. I have a small side business where I make plaques and signs, and other art pieces. I have a pretty flexible schedule Whatever needs to be done, I’ll ensure it gets done. Whether it’s for your house and or fur baby I was in the Marine Corps for 10 plus years, following orders was engrained in me lol.
About: I have a dog named Snoop, I make sure he brushes his teeth every night, puts his pj’s on and we do have our weekly ice cream run. I have always loved dogs and I always try to help out with dogs that aren’t in the best homes. I am currently in school 3 days a week and need something to do the other 4 days. This also is something I would just really enjoy doing. I would prefer to watch your babies at your home for their safety and comfort. I will always keep an eye on them and make sure they are happy.
