“Belinda is one of the most incredible dog sitters EVER! She communicated effectively, followed every instruction on caring for our two little puppies, and ensured that they were loved and well cared for during my wife’s and I family vacation! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable professional dog sitter.”

“Noemy did an amazing job taking care of our animals while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond helping keep our house well taken care of. You should definitely choose Noemy to take care of your pets. You won’t be disappointed!”

“Kate housesat for our pups so we could attend a last minute trip out of town. I love the updates and pictures. She even made them homemade treats! I know my pups are happy when we're home but they always look for her after she's left!”

“Claudia is truly exceptional! This was our second time having her care for our four dogs, and she continues to amaze us with each visit. Over Thanksgiving week, she cared for three elderly dogs with gentle attentiveness and one rambunctious four‑year‑old “teenager” pup who is endlessly active and seeking adventures. Her adaptability in balancing the needs of senior dogs with the energy of a high‑spirited youngster was remarkable — each received the perfect mix of patience, play, and love, making us feel completely at ease while away. Not only did she keep the dogs happy and well‑cared‑for, but she went above and beyond in every detail. We returned to a beautifully clean and tidy home — honestly better than when we left it. Her reliability, kindness, and willingness to go the extra mile make her an absolute treasure. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we wholeheartedly recommend Claudia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.”

“Mara is incredible! She was a fantastic sitter for my pup, bringing him on adventures and taking great care of him! She was so patient with my nervous boy, which end in him giving her all of the snuggles. Mara kept me updated with photos and end of the day updates that made me feel so comfortable even though I was so far away. I will definitely utilize Mara’s services again, and I strongly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter :)”

“Africa did amazing with our little boy. He has big separation anxiety. She was patient, kind, and provided several updates throughout the day. Aside from family members she is the only other person we trust with our dog. Will definitely be using her services again!”

“Dana is very patient with our nervous girl, which always leads to her feeling safe and happily asking for many pets/tummy rubs. We definitely feel like our girl is in good hands and can rest easy knowing she is so well taken care of!”

“I’ve had Mark housesit and care for my 2 senior pups several times now, he is always timely, reliable, and takes good care of our dogs. (He is also so neat you almost can’t tell he stayed!)”


“Cynthia did a great job taking care of our dog and cat. She met all their needs, including multiple feedings for our cat who is on a special diet. She promptly answered our calls while we were away and left us several texts with pictures, which we were happy to receive. I recommend her services to anyone who needs a caring, competent sitter!”

“David and Beth did a great job looking after our pets while we were away. They were understanding and flexible when a few unexpected things came up, which really put us at ease. We appreciated their care and would be happy to have them look after our pets again in the future!”

About: Pets deserve the best! Grew up surrounded by all types of pets, such as dogs, cats, turtles, and hamsters. Have had a cat of my own for 6 years, and I've constantly looked after my sister's dog since he was a puppy. I was the animal-obsessed one in my family, constantly taking in strays. I am a student at a University and have class on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. However, I am free on those days after 5 pm. On Monday, Wednesday, and the weekend. I am free at any hour. I give my full attention to the animal when I am with them and treat them as my own. I am always sure the animal is comfortable before anything. I love to treat other people's pets as my own, and know when to give them their space. Am respectful of others' homes and careful not to disturb space. Instructions are easy for me to follow, and I like to send updates with photos of your fur baby.
About: I grew up with six dogs, so being around them has always been a big part of my life. I started helping care for them when I was about 10, and since then I’ve also looked after dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just giving them love and company, I’m gentle, reliable, and always happy to match their energy—whether they’re super active or more laid-back. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets with attention and love. I’m available for boarding on weekdays, weekends, and weekday visits or walks in the morning or afternoon I provide care in your home where your pet feels most comfortable and safe. I’m respectful of routines, always clean up after myself, and make sure your fur baby gets the love, attention, and calm energy they need while you’re away.
“Lori is amazing! She provides updates and pictures, which are always nice to see of Lucky when we are away. We never worry when he is with her. She goes above and beyond for our little guy (well really not so little).”

“Emily is super nice and got along great with my dogs. She is comfortable watching puppies and can easily follow the quirky routines that your dogs may have. I appreciated the updates and photos while I was away!”

About: I grew up on a farm and have always loved animals. I have taken care of different animals since I was a little girl. I have a lot of experience with large and small animals. I work full time but I am available in the evening as well as some mornings before work. I usually have open availability on the weekends. I have a beautiful cat currently, who is very spoiled at my house. We love being active outside and playing with toys at home. I am a very active person myself, which is why I enjoying walking dogs so much.

Melinda was fantastic! Great communication, reliable, and took wonderful care of both our dog and our home. She sent updates and a photo while we were away, which we really appreciated. Our dog was so well cared for and didn’t miss a beat while we were gone. We will definitely be booking her again!
