“Heather took care of Koko for about two weeks. She sent me photos of him every other day playing outside. I highly recommend her services to anyone needing someone to watch their dog.”

“Arshawna took great care of my dog. She was very professional through the whole process and sent daily pictures of our pet. Our Rosie got a little cut on her paw and Arshawna promptly sent us pictures, cleaned and wrapped her paw everyday. Arshawna was very flexible and was able to accept our request of keeping Rosie for an extra day so my family and I could enjoy our trip a little longer. I recommend her services and will be using it again when needed.”
“Ashley accepted my last-minute booking, and I appreciate her availability during a busy time of the year. I could relax and enjoy my son's wedding this weekend. The dogs were happy when we picked them up, and I received a few pictures of their stay. Thanks again for the excellent service and for giving me peace of mind that they will be okay. Sincerely, Annette”

“this family is super awesome. I felt relaxed and was able to ensure my vacation for five days while Polo spend time with boys, including buddy! I will be using you again. Polo has met friends.”

“Jessamy was awesome with our Loki. It can be difficult for Loki to open up to new people and surroundings but Loki felt comfortable almost immediately as I can tell from all the videos and photos of Loki provided to us by Jessamy. It was easy communicating with Jessamy before and during Loki’s stay and I was always at ease. Loki loved playing around with Artie and it just felt like the perfection match. It looked like there was plenty of activity for Loki which I look for with sitters since Loki can have a lot of energy. We will be utilizing Jessamy’s services again in the future and I would highly recommend her for anyone’s pup.”

“Wonderful as always! This visit I had my newly adopted pup stay as well. She did wonderful keeping me updated and ensuring all the pups were comfortable. I will absolutely use her for a sitter anytime I am away.”

“Absolutely thrilled with our experience! Angel was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals. She took the time to get to know our furry friends and their unique personalities, providing personalized care that put us at ease. Daily updates and adorable photos kept us connected while we were away. Our pets were happy, healthy, and well-loved upon our return! We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver! 🐾❤️”

“This was my first experience using this application, and I am pleased to have connected with someone who truly demonstrates genuine care for pets. Roshonda consistently provided updates via text, photos, and regularly informed me about my dog's well-being. Her attentive care for my pet was evident throughout the process. I will confidently request her services in the future.🐕”

“Kelly watched my dog Red for the weekend. They became best friends fast. He didn't want to come home with me he loved her and her family so much. She kept me updated with photos and texts throughout the weekend. Amazing. We will be using her again.”


About: Hi, I’m Heather! As a life-long animal lover, I know how important it is to find someone you trust completely with your furry family members. I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether your dog needs extra belly rubs, active playtime, or a calm environment to relax, I tailor my care to their unique routine and personality. I’m reliable, attentive, and dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I'm a retired heathcare worker and stay at home house wife, with all the time in the world to take care of your pet. I love all animals and I will care for yours as if they were my own. We have a big fenced in yard for play time.
About: I have cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, and turtles. I’ve had 5 dogs and 6 cats throughout my life and currently have 3 additional cats to the 6. Growing up around so many different animals has taught me how to recognize their individual personalities, needs, routines, and comfort levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, companionship, and providing plenty of love and attention. I truly enjoy being around animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. As a stay-at-home mom and Army Reservist, I have a flexible daily and weekly schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m home most of the day, so I can provide frequent attention, bathroom breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m able to work pet care into my routine without rushing, and I enjoy having animals around throughout the day. My schedule also allows me to be flexible with different pets’ routines and their owners’ needs. I care for every pet based on their individual routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, keep their normal feeding and bathroom schedule, provide exercise and playtime, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I would also keep their space clean and comfortable and communicate with their owner about how they’re doing. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.
About: I have been around animals and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. I am comfortable around all dogs and I am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your fur baby. When I come to take care of, play with, or walk your fur baby I will dedicate my time to loving them. When staying with me I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I like to build trust, communicate and personalize your fur babies stay so you both feel at ease. I am currently home full time and I am available for drop ins when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. I will take your fur baby on a walk to use the restroom since I don’t have a gated yard but if that’s a worry, I also have access to a few gated dog parks for your fur baby to run around and use the restroom.

“We had an excellent experience with Maria while our Bernese Mountain Dog stayed with her for nearly two weeks. She did a wonderful job managing his changing energy levels—keeping him active when he was playful while also giving him plenty of time to relax when he needed it. One of the things we appreciated most was the daily updates. She consistently sent pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for he was throughout his stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and treated him like one of her own. We came home to a happy, healthy pup, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter.”

“I really can’t recommend Jasmine enough! A week or so before I needed to book my girls, she reached out to check & see how they were doing because her family missed them & hadn’t seen them in a while! During Bama & Skye’s stay, I received multiple pictures & updates throughout the day & then when I had crazy flight delays on the final day, she was super accommodating to letting me pick them up almost 6+ hours late! My girls love her & her family. When I was packing them up to drop them off, all I had to say was “wanna go see Dallas(Jasmine’s dog)” and they rushed to the door climbing over each other to get to the car fastest! Truly one of my favorite sitters that I’ve used!”


“Jessica really ensured Rascal was spoiled and pampered. She takes lots of pictures and communicates well and quickly when we have questions. All of Rascals pampering needs were exceeded.”
“Dominique was great with our pup, this was her first time away at a sitter and she did great. Dominique sent daily photos and videos, she stuck to our pups strict diet needs. We thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl.”

“Robin is the best pet sitter/walker we have ever had. She is thoughtful and thorough and all our pets love her. She takes excellent pictures and we feel so much better when she checks in on our pets.”

About: I have 3 german shepherd that I have taken care of since they were puppies. I love the way dogs can interact with people and the love they are willing to offer. I am able to do CPR on dogs if ever needed. I am compassionate and caring because thats all they need. Each dog may be different but they all share a common feeling which is wanting love and care. I connect with them fast. If there are any special needs as far as the walks or when coming to check on them let me know. It will be my great pleasure to play and walk your dog because it's what I love doing. As my heading describes, they are the only ones that can see your true heart.
“Just left my five month kitten, and his 14 year old brother ,for the first time. Lilianais took really good care of them and my plants. She is definitely a cat lover! I got my updates as planned and she answered all my questions. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”

“Angel was very sweet and understanding. I had gotten a bonus last minute and was able to fly home for Christmas but no one was willing to watch my kitty for me. She stepped up and made sure she was taken care of and even eased my worries of leaving my kitty alone for the first time. I definitely recommend her!”


“Tania did a wonderful job stopping in on the cats. She cleaned out litter boxes, gave them pets, administered eye drops, and played with them. She went above and beyond and it was much appreciated. Would definitely book again.”

About: Reliable, active, and caring dog sitter who treats every pup like family. I provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a safe, loving environment so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a teacher and volleyball coach, caring for others is already a big part of my daily routine. My schedule is built around responsibility, consistency, and staying active, which makes pet care a natural fit. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening check-ins, I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I follow your pet’s normal routine; such as feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles; while keeping your home tidy, secure, and filled with comfort in your absence
“Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of Castiel, Crowley, and Lilith. She was caring, attentive, and clearly took the time to understand each of their personalities. I especially appreciated how patient she was with Crowley, who is a rescue and still getting used to humans. By the end of the stay, she had earned his confidence, which says a lot about her calm and compassionate approach with animals. I felt comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands, and I will definitely consider booking her again in the future. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

I will ensure they have the most up right respect as if I were watching a human baby in my home.
“Definitely found a dog sitter that my dogs and I are all comfortable with! Casey was very understanding and accommodating to my situation and my dogs. She put me at ease with her knowledge and friendliness. I have a dog that has had some seperation anxiety issues in the past. Casey was no stranger to this and asked many questions to make sure she knew how to handle him. Well...none of that information was really needed because my dog sure didn't act like he had anxiety issues around her. Casey is amazing!”

About: Hello! My family and I are absolute pet lovers, and we would be thrilled to welcome your furry friend into our home. We know how stressful it can be to leave your pet behind. Separation anxiety is incredibly common, and having a dependable, loving caretaker makes all the difference. When your dog stays with us, they become a part of our family. As a registered dietitian, attention to detail and proper care are second nature to me. I apply those same high standards to your pet, ensuring fresh water is always available and no meals or schedules are ever missed.

I am a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is flexible for your pet's needs. I am never too busy to take care of your pet. I will make scheduled visits to your home to ensure your furry friend is fed and let outside. Your pet will feel more comfortable in their environment, and I won't miss or be late for a visit. I am open to taking in dogs, depending on the breed and personality.

I plan to pass on her profile and recommend her dog care to all my friends who need it. Book now!”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets from small dogs to big dogs. My sister works in the vet field and has came home with a million rescue dogs to take care. I learned how each dog/ breed is unique and that each provides different care which is important. I’m currently a SAHM! So I give pets a lot of playtime. Try to take them on daily walks around 6 with the family :) I have a fenced backyard so dogs can go out and enjoy themselves. Since I have a kid, everything in my home is child proof, so they will both be safe from getting hurt

“I’m so thankful to Isabella for taking such great care of my little baby girl, Kirana! This was our first time ever leaving her with anyone, so I was definitely nervous, but Isabella made the experience so reassuring. She kept me updated throughout the day, let me check in, and sent pictures/videos which I really appreciated. Kirana had such a good time and was very well cared for. You can tell Isabella genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I’m so happy we found her and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their fur baby! 🩷”

“Lillie did great with Chase. She was available during our timeframe and flexible when we needed to adjust. She communicated everything to us about Chase’s day and behavior she noticed from him. When we picked Chase up he was happy, so it was clear he had a great stay. We’ll definitely book again!”

About: I’ve taken care of and been around many animals since I was young. From cats to horses, I’ve seen it all! I love animals:)! No matter how big or small they are always welcome in my cozy home. We have a big backyard fenced in & a spare bedroom for your pup to lounge around. Also allowed to cuddle on the couch🥰. Plus, my husband has many years of experience from working at a veterinarian clinic so I can promise your pup is in really good hands between us two! I’m a stay at home wife/mom so I can tend to your pets every needs 24/7. I’m always home unless I’m off to a doctors appointment or getting groceries. I have the same schedule everyday that any dog or cat is use too! My pets are very well taken care of. I have a cat named Binx and a dog named June. They are both very chill and relaxed. June is an old girl and she is spoiled. She has her own bed setup (pillows and all) and she gets fed twice a day and gets many treats, hugs, kisses, and rubs. Binx is very spoiled as well. She is relaxed around other dogs but mostly hides and sleeps for most of the day. She gets fed plenty and she is always trying to play with her dad. She is declawed so don’t worry about your pups or cats getting hurt by our babies! I will take great care of other animals like I do mine.
About: I have cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, and turtles. I’ve had 5 dogs and 6 cats throughout my life and currently have 3 additional cats to the 6. Growing up around so many different animals has taught me how to recognize their individual personalities, needs, routines, and comfort levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, companionship, and providing plenty of love and attention. I truly enjoy being around animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. As a stay-at-home mom and Army Reservist, I have a flexible daily and weekly schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m home most of the day, so I can provide frequent attention, bathroom breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m able to work pet care into my routine without rushing, and I enjoy having animals around throughout the day. My schedule also allows me to be flexible with different pets’ routines and their owners’ needs. I care for every pet based on their individual routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, keep their normal feeding and bathroom schedule, provide exercise and playtime, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I would also keep their space clean and comfortable and communicate with their owner about how they’re doing. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.

“Heather took care of Koko for about two weeks. She sent me photos of him every other day playing outside. I highly recommend her services to anyone needing someone to watch their dog.”

“Arshawna took great care of my dog. She was very professional through the whole process and sent daily pictures of our pet. Our Rosie got a little cut on her paw and Arshawna promptly sent us pictures, cleaned and wrapped her paw everyday.

I recommend her services and will be using it again when needed.”

“We had an excellent experience with Maria while our Bernese Mountain Dog stayed with her for nearly two weeks. She did a wonderful job managing his changing energy levels—keeping him active when he was playful while also giving him plenty of time to relax when he needed it. One of the things we appreciated most was the daily updates. She consistently sent pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for he was throughout his stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and treated him like one of her own. We came home to a happy, healthy pup, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter.”

I’m a stay at home wife/mom so I can tend to your pets every needs 24/7. I’m always home unless I’m off to a doctors appointment or getting groceries. I have the same schedule everyday that any dog or cat is use too! My pets are very well taken care of. I have a cat named Binx and a dog named June. They are both very chill and relaxed. June is an old girl and she is spoiled. She has her own bed setup (pillows and all) and she gets fed twice a day and gets many treats, hugs, kisses, and rubs. Binx is very spoiled as well. She is relaxed around other dogs but mostly hides and sleeps for most of the day. She gets fed plenty and she is always trying to play with her dad. She is declawed so don’t worry about your pups or cats getting hurt by our babies! I will take great care of other animals like I do mine.
