“Casey took wonderful care of our furry ones; especially our dog, Crowley! We will certainly request their assistance again and recommend whenever we can!”


“Brandon was great with our mini dachshund. He sat with her for the evening while we went out. He got her to eat, which isn’t easy. We came home to a happy pup!! We already rebooked him.”


“Miranda was excellent with our senior dog and took great care of him. She made sure he was well fed, got his potty breaks, and had plenty of time for his naps. She kept us updated and sent photos while we were gone. I would highly recommend Miranda and her outstanding care.”


“Tatum was absolutely amazing! Last minute booking that saved our vacation! The updates through out the day and pictures where reassuring things were going well! Maverick enjoyed her company. Would love to use her again!”


“Elisa is the sweetest girl. She sent us daily photos and Bella loves her. We were never worried that our baby girl wasn't being well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Elisa if you need someone to care for your fur baby”


“She was so good with my senior dog. She stayed in touch and gave me updates daily. First time I left my pet at home for a week with a caregiver. I truly felt my senior pup was in great hands. Thank you Ashley.”


About: I will happily care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Whether your pet wants to lay around or go for a hike, we can do that! I have experience training a dog of my own, so I can maintain your usual basic training/rules if needed. I also have experience giving medication. I have plenty availability in my schedule to fit your needs. I am currently available nearly 24/7. I am not away for longer than 8 hours at a time any given day. I will care for your pet in your own home. I will abide by the rules of your home and look after your pet like they were my own.

“Janice was amazing while taking care of Nacho and house sitting. Updated and pics were frequent and reassuring. House and Nacho were well taken care of. Will definitely look to book again. Thank you Janice!”


“Valerie was the best pet sitter we have had. She took great care of our 3 dogs and cat. Usually when we get back they are so relieved for us to be home but I think they missed Valerie which makes me happy. I would highly recommend her. Our dogs can be at times a little much and a little overwhelming, but she took care of them great.”


About: I grew up taking care of 5+ cats and dogs at a time with fosters who came in and out, and I truly feel I can say that I've seen it all! My pets growing up required different medications, hard food, wet food, different feeding areas, specific feeding times, and more. I dealt with all of them on my own at the same time, so I'm used to balancing both important details and chaos when it comes to pets! I'm currently a grad school student and have varying class schedules based on the month, but I always have weekends off, and varying levels of freedom during the week. I am used to balancing a lot of activities at once during high school and college, so pet sitting is no problem at all for me to add into my schedule. I promise to always be respectful, trustworthy, and compassionate towards you, your pet, your time, and your home. As I mentioned before, I am used to animals who require a lot of specific care needs such as medications, etc., and can also handle a lot of animals at once if that's your situation. I genuinely love dogs with my whole heart and will come to this job with both passion and diligence.

“Ella took amazing care of our pets while we were out of town for 10 days. She sent us several pictures and short updates about the games our dogs played each day. She followed all our instructions, and we could see how happy our girls were with her. She stayed in our home the entire time, and when we returned, the house was spotless. She even left a thoughtful handwritten note on the kitchen counter summarizing how our pets behaved, what they did, and a few details about her stay and our home. We highly recommend Ella for pet and house sitting, and we will definitely contact her again the next time we’re out of town. Thanks again, Ella!”


“Tyler was amazing! The pups didn’t seem to miss us at all. She was attentive and provided photos frequently without any prompt. Will definitely be using her again for our pups.”


“Yolena was a life saver and was able to watch my cat even though the request was very last minute. She kept me updated and sent pictures letting me know how my cat was doing. Great communication as well! Highly recommend!”


“Angie is awesome! I just got home and found everything just as I had left it. And when I had to leave for vacation, my sweet girl wasn’t feeling the best. Angie took everything in stride and took such good care of my pup while I was gone. I absolutely would not hesitate to have her back.”


About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for 13 years and have cared for 3 amazing dogs of my own. I truly love spending time with dogs — whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, or just giving them all the cuddles they want! I understand how important it is to feel confident your pet is safe and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like family and pay close attention to their unique needs and routines. I’m reliable, patient, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind. Whether your pup needs playtime, snuggles, or a calm environment, I’m here to help! I work full time on weekdays but I’m off all weekends and available some evenings, so I can give your pet plenty of attention and care during that time. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy at all times. You’ll always be updated, so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands.

“What an amazing job from an amazing sitter! Christine was extremely polite, communicative, and always checking in with pictures and updates. She not only took care of Delilah, she took great care of the house! 100% recommended and 100% plan to rebook in the future. Thanks again!!”


“Marissa was a big stress, relief for dogs that have food, aggression. She followed all of our strict rolls to make sure the dogs didn’t get into any fights over their dinners and overall I think she did really well.”


About: Ive had animals all my life! My mom and i ran a doggy daycare in house handling up to 10 dogs at once. I also grew up with cats and several other exotic animals so im definitely not afraid of being around four legged friends of all kinds! Im a college student who is mostly online so my days are open and I am anticipating using them to care for your fuzzy friends! it just depends on what care the client needs! My personal preference for a client would be to give me a list of things that need to be done, as well as the animals preferences. I have the animal and the clients best interests in mind.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I could remember growing up. And now more recently I’ve started watching family and friends animals as well while they’re gone on short trips I love visiting them and playing with them when I get there! Im currently working part time so I plenty of time to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. During the week is more better for me but I am flexible to do weekends sometimes as well! Since I have a full house I would prefer to come to you. I love to go for walks and play outside with my dogs or when I’m watching someone else’s and I make sure I keep them on the same feeding schedule.

He loves getting to go on walks and getting pup cups at our local ice cream place. Would definitely recommend Karina 11/10 times to anyone needing this type of service!”
