“Hayley had cared for our 12 year old dog several times now and she is the best!!! I can feel anxious when I have to leave our dog for extended periods of time and Hayley’s texts and photos always make me feel at ease! I’m grateful we have found Hayley and she a the first person I reach out to when I know we are going to be away!!”


“I cannot say enough good things about Nicole! I have two dogs and two cats one of them being a senior who is high maintenance and she handled all of them with ease. She was responsive when I contacted her and kept me informed throughout her stay as to how all my babies were doing. I highly recommend her as a compassionate and patient pet sitter!”


“I cannot thank Lucas enough. Far exceeded my expectations, we will 100% be a repeat customer. Two-week trip, our anxious dog loved Lucas and clearly felt safe amd cared for. Detailed updates, even cleaned up the house (and the sheets on the bed he used) before we returned! Highest recommendation”


“We are visiting from out of town and needed a sitter last minute. We have two rescue dogs who are sweet dogs but don’t warm up to strangers quickly. After reading Zoe’s profile and knowing her exposure to dogs of many temperaments, we felt confident that she’d be a good sitter. She absolutely was. She responded promptly to the request, arrived on time, and sent an update with photo. We would definitely love to have her sit our pups again. If pups are happy, so are we!”


“Michelle did a wonderful job with our two dogs. They can be a handful but she did great. She was also very good at keeping us informed with pictures and updates as needed.”


“Amaya was absolutely fantastic. She was communicative, went out of her way to make our animals happy and comfy while we were gone, and left the house clean. We got lots of photos and videos of our pets during our trip, and she paid special attention to make sure one of our animals with some health issues was well taken care of. We will definitely book her again. We are more satisfied with her as a house sitter than any other we have found in our area.”


About: I provide personalized care tailored to your pet’s unique needs, giving extra love and patience to senior dogs or ensuring consistency with their routines. With years of experience and a genuine passion for animals, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m available Friday night and weekends to provide attentive and loving care to your furry friends. On, weekdays, I can do walks in the mornings or after 4pm, and I’m free anytime on weekends. As an avid runner, I’d love to have your per join me for some exercise. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. I follow their usual routines, give them plenty of attention, and ensure they feel at ease. From feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles, I treat every pet like family.

About: As a dog owner of many rescues pups and the the person who friends call on when they travel I know I'm the person to help your fur baby out when needed I am currently working full-time remotely so I will be here for your fur babies all day long! I love to break up the day at lunch and walk as well! Plus it is lonely working all alone! I need the company. I am a forever dog owner who misses having a dog of my own! My last dog nickname was princess and the pea because she refused to sit on hard surfaces :) I'm happy to treat you fur babies with the same amount of love and follow all their house rules!

About: Hello! My preferred names to go by is Max as you might see in my testimonials! I volunteered at an animal sanctuary that had chickens, geese, swans, goats, horses, & alpacas. I have experience in dog sitting & grooming every kind of breed. I took care of ferrets as well! Cute little guys running through tubes. I have a ton of experience cat sitting as well. I even briefly worked at a cat cafe! I also have 2 of my own. Litter boxes don’t scare me! I would never force any kind interactions based off of any of the animals behaviors, unless if they would want that! I’m all about approaching with love, patience, & playfulness! I currently have open availability. I don’t have proper space to board your animals at my house but I don’t mind traveling to yours at all. It all depends on the pet, but I would approach first with a hand sniff & see if they are okay with me petting them. I also think it’s a really great idea to do a practice trial run with the owner there at first so they can meet me & warm up to me!

“Mike is the absolute best dog sitter you will find! He’s so attentive and sent so many updates/pictures/videos, I knew my dog was having the time of her life with him!! He will be my first go to when Lola needs a sitter from now on, he’s incredible!!”


About: Family and friends have always trusted me with their furry friends! I grew up with dogs and cats by my side my whole life. I am very comfortable with pets and always strive to make them feel happy and loved. I work part time (20 hours a week). I have a lot of free time for pet sitting/walking. I am will ing to get up early or stay up later if needed. I will always ask my client to leave me a note or explanation as to how to care for their pets when I pet sit. I want to make sure I’m am taking the best care of these pets, especially if they have special circumstances (medical needs, likes/dislikes, etc).

“Alexandra was fabulous! I don't think my dog knew the difference between her and me! I felt very comfortable with her in my house and with my sweet pup. She sent lots of pictures and texts. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
