“Debra took great care pf Rocky. The neighbors enjoyed meeting her and she actually got a booking from my neighbor Donna for January. My home was neat and tidy. You never knew she was here. I would highly recommend her.”
“Kayla was very responsive and easy to deal with. She was right on time for both our meet and greet and the dog-sitting session. The dogs loved her and she was very interactive with them. We appreciated the regular updates while she was with them. We look forward to seeing her again!”
“Sara did a great job housesitting with our 2 dogs for a week while we were on vacation. She is very responsive and sent us lots of photos. Our dogs seemed to be very comfortable with her. It was much more relaxing to know that they were being taken care of at home instead of having to be boarded.”
“Tracy was amazing! She was very loving and attentive with our pets and kept us updated on everything. She stayed in our home and we felt very safe and confident that our pets were well taken care of. We highly recommend Tracy and we will have her pet sit for us again in the future.”
“Allison recently house sat our 9 year old greyhound, this was the first time we have ever left her and we’re a bit nervous, Allison did a wonderful job taking care of our girl, and gave us regular updates on how she was doing. We will absolutely use Allison again, and highly recommend her.”
“Karen did an amazing job at our home with our 3 cats during a 17 day vacation. She came to meet our pets before we left and they were comfortable with her immediately. When we returned home, the house was clean and pets were happy and healthy, and they were brushed (3 long hair cats). One cat needed medicine twice daily which was no problem for Karen. She sent photos or videos every day to let us see how they were doing and they seemed relaxed and playful with her. We enjoyed our time away and weren't concerned about our home or pets because we knew they were in good hands. We feel that Karen is conscientious and trustworthy, and she is a true animal lover. We were lucky to find such a great pet sitter, and will definitely ask her to stay with our pets in the future. :)”
“Hate to give Tom 5 stars because if people find out how awesome he is I might not be able to book him in the future! He deserves those stars. He’s trustworthy. He takes great care with my home and my dog loves him!”
“Amy was great! I felt totally as ease leaving Tootsie in her care. got daily pictures, texts of what they were doing. She and Tootsie got along wonderfully. Will not hesitate to use Amy on any upcoming trips.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have taken care of every kind — from tiny lap dogs to big energetic pups. I have two dogs of my own, so I totally understand how pets are part of the family and how important it is to know they’re safe, happy, and cared for. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own. I work completely remote & part time which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, and I always make sure to give regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy. When I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect I give my own. I follow your instructions exactly, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pets stick to their normal routine. I’ll always keep you updated and let you know right away if I notice anything out of the ordinary.
“Susan took amazing care of our dog and cats while we were out of town for 2 weeks. Each day she shared photos and a story of the day's events. It was a great way to keep us connected. Our pets all seemed to become attached to Susan. Our house was equally well cared for. It looked exactly as we left it. We would without hesitation have Susan pet and house sit for us again.”
About: I’ve loved animals all of my life, have been around all types of dogs and cats. Post college, I work remotely and find myself having a lot of time and flexibility. Love to take care of others’ pets while I wait to get my own :) I work remotely and tend to be in control of my schedule. I’m able to be home all day, can take at least 3 breaks during the work day and have no other commitments after work. In other’s homes, I am great at following directions and respecting other’s wishes, to the point where I will request written instructions that I can always have on me. There will be no guests and I rarely leave for longer than an hour at a time.
“Holly and her husband were amazing!! My dog has never been left with anyone but us and he can be very intimidating. They handled him with grace and pure love for 4 days! I have since rebooked and I highly recommend them! I couldn’t be more satisfied.”
“Another excellent week away with the amazing Abby taking care of my pups and kitty and house ! Not an easy job but Abby, as usual, was amazing! Daily pictures, updates on the daily activities with the pups and kitty, and today I came home to a clean and tidy house! Appreciate you so much Abby!”
“It was so nice to have two great people taking care of walter while I was in texas visiting my son and daughter in law. I felt so at ease which made my trip that more enjoyable.”
About: I’ve cared for a Shiba Inu, a Husky, two small dogs, and a cat. Each one had their own routine, quirks, and personality. I pay close attention to what they need to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy pups or creating a calm space for shy pets, I treat every animal like they’re my own. And yes, I’m always happy to spoil them with a treat or two 🤫 I work as an independent contractor, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s during the day or in the evenings, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for, having fun, and loved while you’re away. Your furry friend will be treated like family. I pay attention to their comfort, routines, and emotional needs, whether I’m caring for them in your home or on a walk. Expect lots of care, communication, and maybe a little spoiling too! 💛🐾

Ayleana Jolee J.
“Ayleana was a wonderful petsitter and it gave us so much peace of mind that our cat was in such good hands! She sent us picture updates of our cat, was very responsive to all communication and came multiple times per day at our request to give our cat attention, play with him, and attend to his special food needs. She was a joy to work with and went above and beyond to care for our cat! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and attentive petsitter.”
