“Wonderful , I was so nervous but Julia won over our dog immediately and she was clearly very happy during Julia's stay. The house was immaculate when we returned . Very highly recommend Julia”

“Christy was a wonderful dog sitter for us. She kept us up to date on how things were going and sent us pictures of our dog playing. When we can home our dog was happy and our house was in perfect shape. We are so grateful.”

“Becky was absolutely amazing with our 10-year-old dog while we were away for a week. She gave our dog her medication reliably and sent us frequent updates and photos. This was our first time leaving Nala with someone who was not our family or friends but Becky took care of our girl like family. On top of that, she went above and beyond by caring for our home and helping with things like bringing in our packages while away. We came back to a happy, healthy pup and a clean home—couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I’ve pet sat for neighbors’ dogs of all ages since high school, and I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and cleaning up waste. I’m also very routine-focused—I stick closely to your dog’s schedule so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I grew up with a mutt who recently passed, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, lovin, and caring for your dog. I’ll treat your pup like my own and provide daily updates with photos, plus quick notes on meals and how their day went. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I work Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons into early evenings, and Sunday mornings into early afternoon. Outside of those hours, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and extended visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent care, along with daily updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. 🐾📸 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any household rules you have in place. I make sure your pet always has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and comfort. For dogs, I’m careful with leash safety, door safety, and picking up waste on every walk. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean, make sure doors and windows stay secure, and respect their comfort level—whether they want playtime or quiet companionship.
“Yhakerra was a wonderful dog sitter!! So happy with everything. The dogs were very happy when I returned home and our place was clean and tidy as well. She sent photos and videos, communicated daily, and did so many things above and beyond expectations for their care. I will definitely hire her again for future care.”

“Brandon was great! He came to meet us beforehand to make sure we were comfortable. Booch immediately loved him. While we were away he was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures. The house was also well taken care of. We would definitely hire him again!”

“Eric is first and foremost a very kind person. He is obviously a pet lover, and our dog Daisy enjoys being the beneficiary of his attention. In fact,this morning she was looking for him, and I had to convince her to eat her breakfast! Eric is also great at staying in touch. I never have to wonder how things are going as there are photos and notes to reassure me. I guess I am a helicopter pet mom, so this is great. If I had to go on an extended trip and leave my pup, Eric would be my first and perhaps only choice. If you want to travel with confidence, look no further.”

“Taylor regularly walks/house sits for my dog! She’s always reliable and communicative when she’s taking care of my pup. I absolutely recommend Taylor for your pets needs!”

About: I am a pre-veterinary science college student who has been taking care of animals since I was 8 years old. I have recently been involved in senior pet care as well as puppy pet care. As a pre-veterinary science major, I do a lot of research as well as hands-on activities on a weekly basis. I also partake in hands-on care at home with two dogs, one a senior and one a puppy. I am very thoughtful about others and their environment. I will take best care of both your pet and your home when being your sitter.
“Ellie watched our two dogs for the day. She was great! Very responsive, kind, arrived on time, sent us photos cuddling with our pets and sent updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend!”


About: I’ve helped care for animals for 8 years. I love meeting new fur babies and caring for them like they are my own. Happy to help! I work remotely from 8-5 but can come early mornings & late afternoons. I do get lunch breaks at 12 everyday so I can swing by for a feeding or quick walk. Weekends work for me all day typically! I will follow your instructions and care for them the way you need. If you leave some toys out I can make sure to allocate play time as well.
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life and have spent the last 7 years providing care for dogs and cats through referrals from friends, family, and neighbors. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give each pet. I treat them like part of my own family. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and unique needs to ensure they feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a senior pet needing a little extra attention. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. My remote job allows me the flexibility to build my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I always strive to create a calm, comfortable, and safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, this way they feel secure and cared for even when their humans are away.
About: I am a recent graduate college student with a very flexible schedule! I have been around dogs my whole life, I currently have 2 dogs who I've trained and walk daily when I am home. I love being active and enjoy being outside! I love devoting my time into helping others, so if you are in need of a scheduled dog sitter or just a one-time walker, I would be more than happy to help you out! I am able to handle all dogs of size, anywhere between a Maltese to a great mastiff! I hope to give your furry friend all the love and affection they need and more! Recommendations are available by request! I have just finished earning my Master’s and will be taking some time to focus on my dog sitting services, so my schedule is flexible throughout the day and evening! When visiting a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their belongings and to leave the home exactly how I left it. My goal is to always make sure the dogs are comfortable with me in their living space and keep them on their daily routine!
About: I’ve been house sitting/pet sitting since I was around 17 years old. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I’ve watched dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, fish and more. I’m familiar with pee pads, crate training and dog diapers. I will always treat your animal with respect and kindness, showing them so much love while you are away. I’m currently not working so I would have plenty of time to be with your furbaby. I do volunteer work during the week but I would still have plenty of time to care and be with your animal. I can walk, play, snuggle, crate train and prepare meals for your animals. You just tell me what the preferred routine is and I’ll do my best to match that so your animal feels safe and loved.

We had such a great experience with Christie watching our dogs, Kane and Rina! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures, walk updates, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.

Eric was an amazing sitter for Luna! We received daily updates of videos and pictures. It was the first time she wasn’t being taken care of by immediate family. Our girl is a fussy little eater but Eric was generously patient with our feeding requirement which needed boiled chicken on the daily. He walked and gave her all the play time she wanted. She got even more spoiled! He even ran out and got her extra Greenies and wet food when her supply ran out! We will definitely be asking Eric to watch her again when we can’t bring her with us. What a relief all around that we found such a great sitter!!

Julia was amazing with our dog who is very anxious. We left her with Julia for 5 days and we were very satisfied. She sent daily pictures and updates. Our dog is 11 years old and has separation anxiety, Julia was great keeping her calm. We will definitely ask her again to take care of our pet.

We had a great experience with Kerra as our pet sitter. She stayed at our house for nine days (over Christmas week). Our diaper-wearing, 14 year old basset hound can certainly be a bit of a handful, but Kerra didn't flinch one bit. She gave him and our two cats all the attention and care they could ask for. And the fact that she has experience working at an animal clinic added an extra layer of comfort for us. She was very communicative, sending us daily photos of the pets and didn't hesitate to reach out if she had any questions. When we returned home, the pets were happy and healthy, and the house was nice and clean. Kerra is a kind, patient, all around awesome human being, and we would highly recommend her to anyone lucky enough to have her.

We were so fortunate to have had Ivan watch our puppy for a weekend! We learned so much from Ivan’s expertise as he generously shared so much training knowledge with us. He took excellent care of our puppy, took him on many adventures, and we came home to the happiest dog! Would highly recommend any of his services to others.

We had Bianca watch our pup while we were away for the weekend getting married. Our pup is dog aggressive and we are always very nervous to leave her with new people that aren’t family, but we can confidently say Bianca is now our number one choice when we need a sitter!! She was communicative, took such good care of Freya and was so cautious about her needs. Not once did I worry about our pup! 10/10 cannot recommend enough !!!!
