“My Penelope got the opportunity to spend time with Damacia. The best care was given to Miss P she came home nice and tired. Damacia sent pictures of her and kept me informed. Give Damacia a try. You won’t be disappointed and you can enjoy your trip with a peace of mind.”
“There’s no one else I’d rather leave my newly adopted pup with! Thoughtful, kind and you’ll receive lots of pupdates to satisfy you while you’re traveling! Thanks!”

“Paula was amazing! She took great care of my dogs over thanksgiving and they had such a good time. I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies because I know she took great care of mine :)”
“PC and Will did a tremendous job at ensuring we felt comfortable after leaving Monty with them for the first time. They sent photos daily and were more than willing to converse via text when necessary. I definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a new Rover!!”
“From the very start, Matt impressed us with his prompt, thoughtful, and thorough communication. That same level of care carried through our meet-and-greet and throughout our puppy’s stay. We loved receiving his twice-daily updates and photos — it was clear our dog was not only well cared for but truly happy. When we returned from our trip abroad, jet lagged and exhausted, Matt gladly agreed to keep our pup an extra night so we could rest. When we picked him up, it was obvious how loved and well looked after he’d been. We couldn’t recommend Matt more highly and will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Dawn was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our big, fluffy, Luna, who can certainly be exuberant at times! She kept me updated several times a day with great pictures. I would 100 percent use her again!”
“This was Luna’s second stay with Laura and DJ. When Luna started wagging her tail the second she heard their voices. She is so happy there- it is truly her home away from home. Laura is wonderful with sending us pictures and videos. We are so grateful to have found such a loving family for our pup to go to when we are away.”

“Sheri is amazing, amazing and even more amazing! She took care of my little pal just like I would. I received daily pics and updates and I can't say enough great things about her care. Thanks again for everything!”
“Natasha was a great host for our lab. Our dog was happy and had lots of time playing ball and cuddling. We were updated frequently and we appreciated that piece of mind while we were away. Would be happy to have our dog stay again 😊”

“She did drop-in visits for my two cats while I was out of town for 2 weeks over the holidays. She was very friendly and helpful. There were no issues reported, so I assume everything went without incident. Overall very pleased and will ask her to pet-sit for me again if she is willing and available.”
“Paula is the absolute best !!! We always use her as we know our pets are genuinely loved and cared for ! She is always on time . We never worry when we are away and that means so much!”
“I reached out to Julia rather last minute for help with checking in on my two kitties while I was away on a trip. She was very flexible with the last minute accommodations which was awesome. She was punctual and professional! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on her check-ins. One of my cats needed some medication and Julia was happy to help with that. Going on a trip can be stressful worrying about your fur children, but Julia was great and I didn’t have any doubts that she was taking good care of them.”
“Erika was absolutely amazing! We have 12 cats, so caring for our household is no small task, especially while we were away on an international trip to Europe. She followed every instruction carefully, kept us updated with lots of photos, and went above and beyond what we expected. She even swept our porch/patio area and did some extra cleaning, which we really appreciated. Erica is experienced, knowledgeable, dependable, and clearly loves animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such good hands. We are so glad we found her and will absolutely book her again for future trips. Highly recommend!”
“Oh my goodness Kim is a phenomenal cat sitter!! We came back from a 6 day trip and our picky senior cats acted like we’d never been gone. She sent great pics of them each day so I could see all the love and attention they were getting. Kim was also kind enough to handle mail and packages, and even left us a lovely welcome home treat. We’ve had mixed experiences with others in the past and it’s comforting to find someone who treats your pets and home so thoughtfully. So glad we found her!”
“This is the 2nd time Amy has taken care of my 2 kitties and she has done an amazing job both times. Excellent communication and I’m so glad I found her. I will definitely use her again and I highly recommend her for your pet care needs! Thanks Amy! You have given me peace of mind so I could enjoy my vacations. I appreciate you!”

“Cynthia did a fantastic job taking care of my cat! She made sure she always had water, a clean litter box, and a little play time. She updated me with each visit and gave a thorough report card to let me know how things were going. I would definitely recommend Cynthia as a cat sitter and book her for future trips.”
“Tiffany went above and beyond with her visits, was an excellent communicator, and we came home to find our cat in such good spirits. She is so genuine in her love for animals and I can truly feel how well cared for he was.”
“Lauren did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Luna Laruen was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable while I was away. Laruen sent me pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made it easy to see that Pluto was doing great. When I got home, he was relaxed, happy, and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitter. I would definitely book again and plan to do so!”

About: Lifelong Pet Lover with Years of Experience Hi, I’ve been around pets my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I started walking and feeding my family dogs at just 7 years old, twice a day, making sure they had plenty of playtime and fresh air in our grassy yard. From playful puppies to gentle giants, I’ve handled dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident with potty training and establishing healthy routines for any breed. Since I was 15, I’ve also cared for cats, both my family’s and my friends’. I keep litter boxes clean and ensure they stay off surfaces where they might break or damage anything, all while making sure they feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle, or responsible in-home care, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the chance to care for your furry friend. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time throughout the week to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday drop-in, or overnight stay, I’m available and committed to working around your needs. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked, they’ll have my full attention and care. Comfortable, Spacious, and Pet-Friendly Home Your pet will feel right at home here. I have a large backyard and a spacious home with plenty of room for dogs to play, explore, and relax. While the yard is not fenced, I always supervise outdoor time to ensure pets stay safe and secure. If you use training tools like an e-collar and provide them, I’m happy to use them responsibly and only according to your guidance. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just like family.
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats since I was a kiddo. Currently we have two spoiled dogs and two sweet cats. I take my two dogs on a mile or two walk every day. I started my own pet sitting business in my 20’s after working for a small pet company. I also was working FT with adults with disabilities. I have cared for a wide variety of animals even giving a diabetic cat shots and caring for a blind and a deaf dog. I’ve also had the opportunity to take care of rabbits, birds and even a very social ferret. Once I became busy raising my own family, I stopped working FT but continued watching friends’ and neighbors’ animals on the side. I’m the type of person who stops to pet other people’s dogs when I’m out on a walk. ❤️ My husband and I have 5 kids, two of which live at home. I’m also a grandma with a second baby otw! As a family we’ve always had cats and dogs as well as guinea pigs, gerbils, turtle and a lizard. I’m currently working very part-time so have lots of time to love on your animals. I’m available most days and on the weekends as well. I’d love to walk your dogs and/or play with them in your backyard and hang out with them while you’re away. I also would love to give your kitties lots of attention.
“Laura took great care of my pup! She was communicative and shared helpful updates/photos. Her dog Maple is a wonderful playmate! Our dog looks forward to returning to Laura’s house again soon.”
About: I have had my own dogs since my early 20’s, and I’d probably have about ten more if I could. Everyone in our family has dogs, ranging from tiny Yorkipoos to big ol’ lab mixes, and I love them all! I currently have one rescue pup, Russell, who is 19 different breeds! I am patient, I don’t get grossed out easily, and I will love your pup like it’s a member of the family. My husband and I are both teachers, so we are home full-time during the summer with our two teenage kids. During the school year we work, but I’m usually home by 3:30. Our 13-year old daughter is interested in pursuing a career working with animals, so she will be assisting in the care of your pet. We have a large fenced yard and a dog-friendly house. We even have a doggie door for pups to come and go outside to the back yard as they need or want to. We have one 5-year old dog who gets along great with other pups. Usually when we dog sit, we have the visiting pup have a home base in our daughter’s room where they can be fed separately, have peace and quiet, and enjoy the best air conditioning in the house! We are a dogs on furniture house, and she even loves to let the dogs we are sitting sleep in her bed with her if they want. Your dog should expect many pets and snuggles at our house! If we are coming to your house, we will follow whatever routines and rules you’ve established for your pet. But still expect lots of love for your pet!

“First time ever using the app so I was really nervous about it, but DAMACIA made me feel completely at ease. She listened to all my concerns and how to take care of my sweet boy because he is hard of hearing. She took him on a walk around the neighborhood and Maximus seemed to enjoy it. Now that the walk is over my sweet boy is passed out on the couch probably for the rest of the day. Will definitely be using her services in the near future.”

About: Hi, I'm Kim! I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I'm a mom of 4 fur babies of my own and have had animals all my life. I am currently transitioning from a 13 year Nanny position into my dream job of caring for animals full time. Three years ago, I started pet sitting part-time and have gotten rave reviews and I absolutely love it!! (References available on request) My schedule is very flexible for drop-ins and overnight stays on a first come, first serve basis. I will come to your pet's home where they are most comfortable. Offering pet care services in your home, I follow the typical routine you and your pets have already established. They will keep their routine and not go through any traumatic transitions. The best part? Your fur baby is there when you get home. Your home will also have that "lived in" look. Mail will be picked up, plants watered, lights will be switched on and off, trash rolled to the curb, and any house issues that arise can be addressed. Especially for overnight or vacation services, I would love the chance to meet you and your pet(s) in your home ahead of time. I always encourage new clients to schedule a (free) 30-minute meet-and-greet before the first booking (either at your home or a public location) so that I can meet your pet(s). If I am doing a sitting or drop-in, then these are perfect for showing me where the food supplies are as well as bowls, litter box(es), and anything else that may be needed for the booking I send daily updates while you are away so your vacation is worry free. I am looking to establish a regular client base and consider pets as part of the family.
“Bre was fantastic! She was willing to adjust her schedule to help with the weather and always communicated with the person house sitting. The dogs were super excited to see her everyday so I know she took excellent care of them. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I’m Fabrizio, proud dog parent to Bruno, my 5-year-old buddy who taught me that every pup has their own personality and needs. Over the years I’ve also cared for the pets of friends and family — from playful puppies to older dogs that just need extra love and attention. I’m flexible, reliable, and love keeping owners updated with pics and messages. With me, every walk is an adventure and every cuddle feels like home. 🐾🐶 I work as an independent sports agent, which means most of my job is done from my phone and laptop. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adjust my day around walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting. Whether it’s mornings, afternoons, evenings, or even weekends, I can usually make it work. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and find the perfect times to keep them happy and cared for. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. When I’m in your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions carefully to make sure your pets feel comfortable and secure. I treat every house as if it were my own, with responsibility and care. On walks, I’m always alert to surroundings, traffic, and other animals. I keep dogs safely leashed, avoid risky situations, and make sure they get exercise in a fun but safe way. You can trust that your pets will always be in good hands with me.

“Cassandre is the best. She and her family provide such a fun and safe environment for our dog when we are away. Cassandre is a genuine dog lover, and we have so much peace of mind knowing that our dog is in the care of someone who loves him as much as we do.”
“Paula was amazing! She took great care of my dogs over thanksgiving and they had such a good time. I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies because I know she took great care of mine :)”
“PC and Will did a tremendous job at ensuring we felt comfortable after leaving Monty with them for the first time. They sent photos daily and were more than willing to converse via text when necessary. I definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a new Rover!!”
“From the very start, Matt impressed us with his prompt, thoughtful, and thorough communication. That same level of care carried through our meet-and-greet and throughout our puppy’s stay. We loved receiving his twice-daily updates and photos — it was clear our dog was not only well cared for but truly happy. When we returned from our trip abroad, jet lagged and exhausted, Matt gladly agreed to keep our pup an extra night so we could rest. When we picked him up, it was obvious how loved and well looked after he’d been. We couldn’t recommend Matt more highly and will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Christina and her family took excellent care of my 2 dogs. We really appreciated the daily text and pictures. It gives you peace of mind to know that they are being taken care of . I would definitely leave my pups in her care every time, as long as she continues.”
“Dawn was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our big, fluffy, Luna, who can certainly be exuberant at times! She kept me updated several times a day with great pictures. I would 100 percent use her again!”
“This was Luna’s second stay with Laura and DJ. When Luna started wagging her tail the second she heard their voices. She is so happy there- it is truly her home away from home. Laura is wonderful with sending us pictures and videos. We are so grateful to have found such a loving family for our pup to go to when we are away.”
“Laura had my dog nova for a week.Great with keeping you updated on your pet.Nova had a blast will definitely use Laura again.My dog was sad to go home that’s how much fun she had”
“Cyndi was awesome! Kept both of our 100+ pounders and never flinched! They were so happy with her I thought they may not want to come home! We will definitely be booking another stay with Cyndi!”
“Sheri is amazing, amazing and even more amazing! She took care of my little pal just like I would. I received daily pics and updates and I can't say enough great things about her care. Thanks again for everything!”
“Natasha was a great host for our lab. Our dog was happy and had lots of time playing ball and cuddling. We were updated frequently and we appreciated that piece of mind while we were away. Would be happy to have our dog stay again 😊”
“Lara was so great to work with! She took care of our Winnie like she was part of their family and kept us updated with lots of pictures throughout her stay. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Frank had such a great time with Amanda! She was incredibly communicative throughout his stay and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. It was so nice being able to see how happy and comfortable he was while we were away. Frank clearly loved his time with her and, honestly, didn’t want to leave when it was time to come home! Amanda took great care of him, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. We will definitely be booking with Amanda again!”
