“Jenna was punctual and spent time outside interacting with our large dogs during her visits to make sure they were exercised. She was also very detail oriented in her communication with us! Will definitely use her again!”
“Elizabeth was great! She was very active with Sadie and actually took the time to walk her. I even saw her running with Sadie once which is awesome! She also accommodated my last minute request so we appreciated that! We will definitely be using her again to watch Sadie.”
“Kelly has been coming to feed my cats lunch for the past couple of days, and I couldn’t be more impressed! She’s absolutely amazing with them—so patient, gentle, and genuinely caring. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in such good hands while I’m away. I can tell she really takes the time to make sure each of them is happy and comfortable. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone dependable and wonderful with animals!”
“Diane is an excellent pet sitter! She was very communicative while we were gone - sending photos and updates on how our kitties were doing. She cared for them like they were her own. The litter boxes and house were in great shape when we returned as well. I highly recommend Diane!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little kid and I’ve been taking care of my neighbors dog for 4 years! I love animals and I get along with them great even if they aren’t fond with me quite yet! I will play with them and do whatever I can to make them happy! I am in college and I play a sport so we get our schedules weekly but I will have time to take care of your pups! We have an invisible fence in my yard so the dogs don’t run away! But if they need to go outside I will sit with them because I like to keep them company! And when I want to walk them I will take them on a nice walk around the neighborhood!
“I loved how CJ gravitated toward Jennifer with complete trust from the first meet. Jennifer was on time, administered oral medicine as instructed, and showered us with the best dog photos we could have never captured. What a wonderful DogSitter 🩵🐶”
About: My family has always had three dogs at a time, and most of them were rescues. I have been a dog lover since I was little. Dogs naturally love me. I am between jobs right now, and I want to fill that time doing what I love. Unfortunately, where I currently live does not allow dogs. I follow strict care schedules and have experience with medicated dogs. I am not trained to give injections but I'm willing to learn. My dog used to take seizure medicine daily.
About: As a dog mom of 2 German Shorthair Pointers. These dogs have high energy and need lots of attention so I keep my energy up and stay active with them such as lots of play time and walks. Dogs are my world and I do everything to keep a smile on their face and their tails wagging :) I currently work as a part time hairstylist on the weekends but have full availability through the week Monday-Friday. If given enough notice for weekend dog sitting I can make it work I have two fur babies of my own that are very friendly and love to play inside and outside! They have their own bedroom and I offer beds and crates. I have lots of toys, extra leashes for walks and have extra cables to let them play outside. I even make homemade doggy ice cream for treats on hot sunny days! :)
“Capri was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond caring for our cat Lucy while we were on vacation. She gave detailed daily updates with pictures and was always available if I had any questions or concerns while we we away. Thank you again Capri!”
About: I have a background in caring for exotic and household pets. I have had cats growing up ever since I was little and would find strays in our yard, to the current 3 cats in our home now. I had a beagle for over 15 years, and have experience working with dogs in a boarding kennel within a veterinary clinic. I have experience working with a variety of animals including tropical saltwater fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals ranging from crocodiles to sloths and penguins. I currently have 2 lizards, a chameleon and a gecko as well. I have a background in basic training for dogs, birds and reptiles including target feeding and basic commands. I would love to come take care of your furry or scaley friends! I currently have 3 cats and 2 lizards that are taken care of on a daily basis. Each animal has their own schedule and routine that vary from eachother, so extra care is often times needed. I also recently worked for an aquarium for the past 6 years, which I was a supervisor that worked up to 12 hour days taking care of basic and advanced care needs for the animals in our facility. I can give basic medications if needed or bottle feed/syringe. I can let out your dog on a runner or lead if that is preferred. Walks are also fine, given proper training based on the specific needs of the dog. I can provide playtime and enrichment to help with extra energy that needs burned off as well.
“We have been using Breann to drop in on our cats several times now and she has been great and trustworthy. She is good with the cats and takes care of the house. We are never worried when we leave thanks to her. Highly recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting.”
“Derek takes such good care of our three cats. They are so comfortable with him, and that says a lot. He follows all our instructions, and he also plays with them and spends time petting them as well as giving them treats. I might go so far as to say that they seem to miss him now that we're home. Next time we need a sitter, we'll be contacting Derek.”
“Nadia is the most wonderful dog sitter and you would not be disappointed buy using her services. She cares so much about the animals we feel so lucky to have found her. Her updates are fun and we look forward to them everytime. She is always on time and prompt to any responses. I can promise you, you cannot go wrong with using Nadia to take care of your pets!!!”
“Sara was on time, provided several updates and photos and even offered an extra drop-in visit to make sure our cat was OK during fireworks July 4th. We recommend Sara and plan to hire her again!”

Jessica went above and beyond with regular updates, photos, and detailed notes that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog took to her right away, which says a lot because he can be a bit shy with new people. She clearly has a natural connection with animals and treats them like her own. When we came home, he was calm, happy, and well cared for—exactly what every pet parent hopes for! Jessica is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely loves what she does. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
