“Kaitlyn was amazing. She was with my babies for 5 days. She took amazing care of them. They get anxiety when I'm not home so they don't really eat but she did really great on keeping me up to date if they did eat. She is very responsive and I felt very comfortable leaving them with her.”


“I cannot recommend Malcom enough! He followed every instruction we left for our babies, loved them like his own, and made sure they we comfortable while we were away. He even stayed at the house to make sure there was no anxiety overnight. We loved knowing our dogs were well cared for”


“Sarah was awesome! She took great care of my dog and 2 cats and left my home clean and tidy! She sent me tons of videos and pictures while I was away and I could see the animals loved her immediately. Will use again!”


“This was my first time using the app, and I definitely wasn’t disappointed with Jazmine! She sent pics when I was away of my dog and I thought that was so sweet! She was even willing to stay a little longer to watch my dog! Definitely shows you how great of a person she is! Would 100% recommend!!”


“Alivia was great with our two dogs and cat. Our cat became sick during the time Alivia was here and she acted quickly to help her get to feeling better. Alivia would send frequent updates as well and is a very good communicator. I could not have asked for anyone better!”


“Jessica was great and did everything I asked of her! She sent lots of photos and responded quickly when necessary! I could tell when I got home my dog was not stressed and still very happy.”


“Aja deserves 10 stars, we highly recommend her to anyone seeking her service. She’s very professional and structured, and followed all of our little requests. We loved her thorough and personalized updates throughout her stay with our dog. We felt comfortable with her in our home and with our German shepherd, who seemed to warm up to her quickly. We look forward to having her back soon!”

About: I have 4 dogs and 7 cats myself and can manage a lot of animals. I can provide play time and walks as well as follow any medication needs or restrictions. I currently have a job and can dog sit with that schedule, I’ll never be gone for more than 7-8 hours and I work Sundays, Mondays, Wednesday’s, and Thursdays. I feed my own dogs and cats on a very strict schedule and have been able to manage their medication and health needs consistently. I’m willing to adapt to a client’s schedule and provide any adjustments that are necessary.


“Chatavia was a great dog sitter for Max! She updated me on his well being and sent me pictures and videos of him to keep me updated. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”


“Rena was great with my pups and showered them with love. She made sure I knew about their day and how they were doing with lots of pictures and videos, which were greatly appreciated! She made sure one of our pups got her ear drops each day and let me know when she did them. I highly recommend Rena and will use her in the future :)”


“Perfection! Katherine (Kate) was a terrific dog and house sitter. She is bright, communicative, and neat. The dogs loved her so much they barely noticed our return. Kate brought in the mail and packages as well as dealing like a pro with the overnight power outage from Winter Storm Stella. We will be asking for Kate's help often!”


“Zoey took such good care of Aja, and Ed, and even my garden for 2 whole weeks!! Her dog Melo and my dog are now friends and I’m so grateful for the love and care she showed my pup! I’d definitely book with her again over and over and over!!”


“Alanna has been amazing taking care of our 3 dogs in our house for a long weekend. We met her before and the pups just loved her. She sent us a lot of updates with pictures, she followed the instructions and she gave so much love to them that I cannot ask for more. We will definitely ask her to take care of them in the future. Best care ever!”


About: I grew up caring for animals and watching over them since I can remember. I am in the military, therefore responsibility and trustworthiness is a necessity for me. You can rely on me to care for your animals as they were my own. I work full time, but most days I am off around 3 or 4 pm. Weekends I’m completely free unless and emergency happens at work. My schedule is very flexible. I will ensure your animal has plenty play time outside and goes on adventures. If sitting is in your home, I will ensure your animal is well taken care of within your home. Play time at home is guaranteed!

“Alicia, was a very conscientious pet and house sitter. I had her stay at my home with my three cats and she was in constant communication, providing me with updates and picture. She also left the house as clean as it was when she arrived. I would highly recommend Alicia and I will definitely have her watch my pets again.”


About: Growing up we had a loving lab named Hannah who always wanted to cuddle and give kisses. Shortly after adopting her, we rescued my kitty Dusty who became best friends with her, unfortunately Hannah passed a few years back and Dusty lived a very long life and passed away in June. While in the final years of High School and college, I had neighbors, friends, and family get out to have me to care, walk, and feed their love ones when they go away, along with spending the night with them. I currently work full time as a registered nurse. Work day starts around 6:30am and ends around 4pm. I will have plenty of time in the morning and after work to play with your pups or kitties. I have a fenced in dog park where I currently live and access to a nature path. I can easily crate your dog if needed during the day or make sure everything is picked up if they roam free when home alone.

“Attentive to the dog's needs and was patient with Sam.”


About: I have dog sat since i was around 13 years old. I also have experience in walking dogs. I will also make sure that your animals get plenty of love while you are away! I am currently home for the summer, so I have plenty of time on my hands to be able to care for your fur babies! I will come and spend time with your animals while you are away, and I will give medications as needed, I will clean up messes they may have made, I will feed and give them water, and I will also walk them. If you want me to do more with them I most definitely will!

“OMG! Carrie was amazing! She took the time to get to know my two dogs ahead of the sitting. She learned their routine and provided extra TLC to the pups. Carrie was flexible and timely. She also communicates any and all issues. For example, one of the pups had "nervous poop" and she let me know about it in case it turned bad and he had to go to the vet. She also spent time with the pups, reinforcing positive training behavior. I will definitely use Carrie's services in the near future and would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs. Big Thanks to Carrie for taking such great care of the pups.”


About: I have had dogs, cats, fish, birds, rabbits, horses as part of my family from birth to death. I have so much love for all kinds of animals. I take care of my horses in the morning and evening. As for my dogs and cats, I provide care throughout the day or as needed. I will treat every home I enter with respect and show the same love to your animals as I would my own furry family members.
