“Yogi enjoyed his stay. I like that there are options. Dogs can stay in the house. But if they are more comfortable outside, she has a deck with access to a fenced in grass area. Good communication. No problems.”
“Such wonderful animal lovers! I received nightly photos of our dog having the best time on their property. Would recommend them to everyone and will use them again.”
“Once again, Cindy was the best! My dog was happy to see Cindy. She treats my dog like one of the family. She makes sure she’s fed, walked, and sends me pictures and a note. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Cindy is the best!!”
“Alexsys was WONDERFUL! Our pup got lots of outside time and exercise, was able to play with a couple other pups of similar size and temperament, and she was super responsive in our communications. Loved the pictures, videos, and daily updates on how he was doing! Highly recommend her.”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing! I couldn’t recommend anyone more for your dog sitting needs. We are very thankful we had her available to watch Mocha! She gave great updates and provided lots of pictures.”
“Briana was extremely quick to respond to our last minute request. She provided updates and photos throughout our pup’s stay with her and was always quick to respond whenever we reached out. Even after getting stuck in traffic and getting there late Briana was helpful and did not have any issues with our late arrival. We would highly recommend Briana to anyone in the area needing someone to watch their pups.”
“I really like the fact that Lucy only watches one dog at a time. No cages or kennels were used, and our dog was allowed to be on the couch which is what she does at home. I would recommend Lucy”
“We are so grateful to have found Brian to care for our two very special dogs, both of whom come with their own quirks and sensitivities. Our sweet and playful pup, Abbi, gets anxious in new environments, while our 13-year-old, Hank, is mostly sweet and playful but can also be a bit reactive when startled, especially by fast movements or unfamiliar people. Brian was incredible with both of them. Hank warmed up to him almost immediately (something that rarely happens) and seeing him snuggling his head into Brian's hand during one of the daily video updates was a highlight for us. Brian’s calm, confident presence clearly helped both of our dogs feel safe and happy. They had plenty of space to explore, lots of outdoor playtime, and were cared for with patience and attentiveness. In addition to putting our dogs at ease, he also managed to put my husband-who tends to be quite anxious about leaving them-at ease, as well. The daily video updates, thoughtful care, and dog-friendly environment made all the difference.”
“Jessica was the perfect fit for my two babies. The minute the got out of the car they were exploring. Tails up! She has a wonderful space for animals to run and play outside and plenty of room inside as well. Her home is clean and inviting. She sent frequent updates and pictures. It was evident my doggies had a blast. I'm very thankful to have found her. I would give her 10 🌟 She's above and beyond a great sitter 🙌”
“First time leaving our dog but after the meet & greet we Never worried. We just knew Rocky & Jackie were caring people and Kirby would be very well taken care of. He was LOVED, fed well, walked, played with, snuggled & safe! Pics were sent to us. Kirby looked so comfortable!! They took care of our dog just like we do!!! So thankful!!!”
“Gabby had to put up with a spoiled rotten cat! Skittles is the most unsociable cat there is. But everyday without fail she sent me a message that he was eating drinking and still hiding out in his room. She left her house open for Skittles to wander around in but he preferred hiding in a hole he created in her couch🤦 I cannot say enough good about this young mother of 4 beautiful children. She is now out family preferred sitter.”
About: Animals have been part of my life since birth, and caring for them has always been one of the greatest joys of my life. I grew up in a home that always had dogs, and when I got my first dog in my early twenties, I continued owning and caring for dogs for nearly 31 years. While I currently share my home with three beloved cats, I’ve spent a lifetime around dogs and understand their needs, personalities, and the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. For the past five years, I’ve also hosted guests through Airbnb and regularly cared for their pets, giving me experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something that comes from the heart. Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own family. I work for myself, I have a very flexible schedule and can adjust my time to meet your pet’s needs. This allows me to be available, reliable, and fully present for your pet. Whether it’s daily visits or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they are cared for, comfortable, and never feel alone. I treat every pet like my own, with safety and comfort always coming first. I live on a private five-acre property with a large, securely fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy plenty of space. Inside, pets have a calm, clean environment with cozy spots to relax, along with toys and attention. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly cared for.
“David provided loving care and excellent communication for our two dogs during their week long stay. We would highly recommend David and you can be confident of excellent care and communication.”
“Dimitri has been nothing short of AWESOME with Snow. This was a long stay so we were nervous, but we got pictures everyday which made us feel comfortable and snow looked so happy in all the pictures aswell. We really appreciate Dimitri and will definitely book again when we need the help.”

“Meet and greet. So wonderful to meet Jennifer. She was very quick to understand things. I’m so grateful to have someone to call on for various visits for our pets. Thank you for your time today Jennifer.”
About: I grew up with in a two cat household. I have experience with medication with cats in pill forms. Am able to clean up after messes cats make. I have even bottle fed raised multiple kittens after they were rejected by the mom cat. Love cats of all sizes.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and currently have cats of my own, so I understand their unique personalities, body language, and daily care needs. From playful and social to shy and independent, I’m comfortable adapting to each cat’s individual temperament. In addition to personal experience, I previously worked as a kennel technician, where I cared for animals in a professional setting. This role taught me how to monitor behavior, recognize signs of stress or illness, safely handle animals, and maintain clean, sanitary environments. I’ve also volunteered with rescue cats, which gave me experience working with timid, fearful, and newly transitioned cats. I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and creating a calm environment so they feel safe and secure. Your cat’s comfort and well-being will always be my top priority.
About: I currently have 4 cats whose ages range from 1 to 10 years old, so I have experience caring for cats in many different stages of life. Each of my cats has a completely different personality and different needs, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to make every cat feel comfortable in their own way. Some are playful and energetic, while others are more shy and relaxed, so I understand the importance of respecting boundaries, routines, and comfort levels. Growing up around animals and caring for multiple cats has made me very confident in feeding, playtime, litter box care, giving attention, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets.
“Megan is the best! She always goes above and beyond to make sure our pets feel extra loved when we are out of town. We hope to continue to use Megan in the future.”
About: I have experience not only pet sitting in someone’s home, but also outside of their home. I currently work as a dog bather, so I have experience with animals and handling there too! I am currently working part time, only about 20 hours a week, so I have plenty of time to give that special dog in your life a walk for you when you’re unable! Our yard is partially fenced in (half of it is fenced) and we have another dog in our house. Your dog will primarily stay with me, alone where I can watch them! And if they need to go out, I am able to take breaks when I need to to take them out.

“Lucy always does an amazing job with Molly. Her and Christian have really helped me with watching Molly as I prepare for a move, but I will still keep them as my go-to dog sitters for when I take a trip, even if they will live an hour away. The dog's excitement as I approach their house to drop her off with them tells me how well she's cared for while there.”
“Alexsys is absolutely amazing and super sweet!! I had a last minute booking that she was able to take!! She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day showing how much of a good time my Rheya had!! I also LOVE that she was able to play with some other furry friends and had a back yard to get her zoomies out! 100% will be booking with her again!!”
“Wonderful sitter! You can tell she really cares about her campers. We have our baby scheduled with her for a long weekend and I fully trust her to provide excellent care. My little baby is my pride and joy :)”
“Gabby was exceptional taking care my dog, Luna! It was my first time leaving her with a sitter and using Rover and she made the experience so much easier. She loved on my pup and sent me updates with pictures and videos throughout her overnight stay. Gabby is professional, friendly, and caring towards the pup and their human. I needed some handholding and she was super kind. I’d recommend Gabby any time!”
About: I have loved and cared for 10 of my own fur friends(6 dogs, 4 cats) and been so lucky to love and care for many many more. From farm to house to tank to pen I have cared for pretty much everything except insects and arachnids. I've spent nights with road side rescues that became beloved family members, I've taken my bottle feeding resuce squirrel camping in a shoe box in my sleeping bag, I've fed horses and chickens in a blizzard. I've gently loved the old ones that are hanging on just a little bit longer and I've welcomed the brand new ones to this great big world.

About: Hi! My name is Kat, but I get it if that’s a dirty word in your house. I’ve been lucky to grow up with dogs of all levels; Huskies, Mastiffs, Pugs, etc. I started watching friends, family, and neighbors pets in 2019 and in 2021 I rescued my beautiful Cane Corso! I love all animals and can be trusted to treat your fur-baby with the upmost care and attention. I’m very active so I’m happy to play/hike/walk all day, I’ve even roller-skated with a pup. As I mentioned, I have a rescued giant breed. With her being a tougher rescue she has taught me how to handle almost any situation. She is reactive on walks so I’ve done training to continue to get her exercise with as much ease as possible. That being said, I can handle most dogs at all levels, no matter the size. Currently, I work 3 evenings a week with open daytime availability. I can drop in or take your pup for a walk anytime during the day and most evenings. I exercise often and go on lots of walks through the day, so if you have a high energy dog it’s no challenge for me. I wait a bit between exercise and feeding but I will prepare the food exactly how you and your pup prefer. I’m comfortable with crating and have done crate training.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have 4 cats and a 4-month-old puppy, so I understand the patience, attention, and love pets need every single day. Growing up surrounded by animals taught me how to care for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. From playful puppies to independent cats, I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets lots of affection and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently work a flexible part-time job, which gives me plenty of time throughout the week to care for pets and give them the attention they deserve. Since I also have 4 cats and a 4-month-old puppy of my own, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I enjoy spending my free time with them. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, young, or older. In a client’s home, I always follow instructions carefully to keep pets on their normal routine and help them feel as stress-free and comfortable as possible while their owner is away.

“Yogi enjoyed his stay. I like that there are options. Dogs can stay in the house. But if they are more comfortable outside, she has a deck with access to a fenced in grass area. Good communication. No problems.”
“Such wonderful animal lovers! I received nightly photos of our dog having the best time on their property. Would recommend them to everyone and will use them again.”
“Alexsys was WONDERFUL! Our pup got lots of outside time and exercise, was able to play with a couple other pups of similar size and temperament, and she was super responsive in our communications. Loved the pictures, videos, and daily updates on how he was doing! Highly recommend her.”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing! I couldn’t recommend anyone more for your dog sitting needs. We are very thankful we had her available to watch Mocha! She gave great updates and provided lots of pictures.”
“Briana was extremely quick to respond to our last minute request. She provided updates and photos throughout our pup’s stay with her and was always quick to respond whenever we reached out.

“I really like the fact that Lucy only watches one dog at a time. No cages or kennels were used, and our dog was allowed to be on the couch which is what she does at home. I would recommend Lucy”
“We are so grateful to have found Brian to care for our two very special dogs, both of whom come with their own quirks and sensitivities. Our sweet and playful pup, Abbi, gets anxious in new environments, while our 13-year-old, Hank, is mostly sweet and playful but can also be a bit reactive when startled, especially by fast movements or unfamiliar people. Brian was incredible with both of them. Hank warmed up to him almost immediately (something that rarely happens) and seeing him snuggling his head into Brian's hand during one of the daily video updates was a highlight for us. Brian’s calm, confident presence clearly helped both of our dogs feel safe and happy. They had plenty of space to explore, lots of outdoor playtime, and were cared for with patience and attentiveness. In addition to putting our dogs at ease, he also managed to put my husband-who tends to be quite anxious about leaving them-at ease, as well. The daily video updates, thoughtful care, and dog-friendly environment made all the difference.”
“Jessica was the perfect fit for my two babies. The minute the got out of the car they were exploring. Tails up! She has a wonderful space for animals to run and play outside and plenty of room inside as well. Her home is clean and inviting. She sent frequent updates and pictures. It was evident my doggies had a blast. I'm very thankful to have found her. I would give her 10 🌟 She's above and beyond a great sitter 🙌”

“Gabby had to put up with a spoiled rotten cat! Skittles is the most unsociable cat there is. But everyday without fail she sent me a message that he was eating drinking and still hiding out in his room. She left her house open for Skittles to wander around in but he preferred hiding in a hole he created in her couch🤦 I cannot say enough good about this young mother of 4 beautiful children. She is now out family preferred sitter.”
About: Animals have been part of my life since birth, and caring for them has always been one of the greatest joys of my life. I grew up in a home that always had dogs, and when I got my first dog in my early twenties, I continued owning and caring for dogs for nearly 31 years.

For the past five years, I’ve also hosted guests through Airbnb and regularly cared for their pets, giving me experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something that comes from the heart. Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own family. I work for myself, I have a very flexible schedule and can adjust my time to meet your pet’s needs. This allows me to be available, reliable, and fully present for your pet. Whether it’s daily visits or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they are cared for, comfortable, and never feel alone. I treat every pet like my own, with safety and comfort always coming first.

At my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, a walkable neighborhood for daily walks and fresh air, and a spacious deck that’s perfect for lounging and sunbathing. Inside, animals are treated like family in a clean, pet-friendly space with constant attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines and space, ensuring their pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in their own environment.
“Lizette and her family are so sweet! They took the best care of Harvest and were such a pleasure. She made sure to keep me updated by sending regular pictures and Harvest surely loved them as well!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 10 years, with skills for basic training. Your pets happiness and safety is my priority. Thank you! I work remote and have the time to spend with your furry companion. I have two dogs of my own that I foster. My schedule is open and flexible to meet your dogs needs. I live in a three story townhouse that allows me the space to observe each dogs temperament to see how they interact with other dogs.
About: I have had a animal all of my life and find myself drawn to them at any given moment. They bring me so much joy, because they have no cares of the troubles of the world today. Oral medication given, daily exercising. I am an animal lover, I have had some sort of animal all my life ie; fish, birds, dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs. My kids are all adults now and thought it would be a good idea to care for your fur baby as a temporary companion. I will stick to whatever rules an guidelines you may have for your pet. I can care for your pet weekends and weeknights. I work well with my clients request and routines. I live in a single family home on a corner lot with mountain views.

About: I have loved and cared for 10 of my own fur friends(6 dogs, 4 cats) and been so lucky to love and care for many many more. From farm to house to tank to pen I have cared for pretty much everything except insects and arachnids. I've spent nights with road side rescues that became beloved family members, I've taken my bottle feeding resuce squirrel camping in a shoe box in my sleeping bag, I've fed horses and chickens in a blizzard. I've gently loved the old ones that are hanging on just a little bit longer and I've welcomed the brand new ones to this great big world. I am currently working part-time and have the flexibility to work around your schedule. Overnights and holidays are available with at home and boarding options. Lots of walks! I do have one friendly dog and a cat in my home with the ability to keep everyone separate if needed. Crating is also an option. Lots of love and attention. Your home or mine.
