“Are dogs are not bad dogs but there are 3 of them and they are all rescues and they have their own quirks. They love Lori and we cannot ask for anything more. She takes care of them and keeps us updated and they are happy when we get back. Lori is great!”


“Sarah is amazing! She stayed with my fur babies for 3 days. I never once worried. She sent alot of pics and updates. She is our new person to call when we need help!”


“We cannot put into words how grateful we are for Kaitlyn and her kind heart. While we were away our Oscar took a turn for the worst and Kaitlyn graciously took on the burden of taking him in to be evaluated. She stayed in constant communication with us and when we were told there was nothing else to be done, she face timed with us and allowed us to say our goodbyes. We could never thank her enough for what she did for us. We hope to have her watch our other two in the future.”


“Konnie was incredible! We have had many pet/house sitters in the past and she exceeded all expectations and went above and beyond. We are so happy we found her! Our dogs, Bella and Duncan, loved her and we could tell she loved them! She kept them in their routine which was so important to us. She sent lots of photos, and even left a few for us to see when we got home! She left our house as clean as we left it. It was so nice to come home to our happy, well-cared for pups and a clean house. We have already rebooked her for a big trip next year and recommended her to our neighbors. If she's free, book her!”


“Kayla was great she is very sweet and attentive with our Steeley we will definitely use her again she sent pictures and walked and played with our lab she is a very sweet young lady”

“Mark was so great w my pets!!! He followed the schedule to a T and made sure to pass along plenty of updates. I always get nervous about letting people into my home, but Mark proved to be nothing but professional and responsible! I’ll definitely be seeking him out again soon!”


“Olivia was great with my 3 dogs. She spent a lot of time loving on them and playing with them. I don’t trust many people with my senior dog because of her age and illnesses, but Olivia was great with her. Will definitely be booking her again!”


“Scott and Samantha are our go to sitters for our Italian Greyhound, Quincy! We have used them multiple times, and always come home to a clean house and a very happy dog. Quincy has pretty bad separation anxiety, but Scott and Samantha give him extra attention, care, and snuggles. We highly recommend them to help with any of your pets’ needs!”


“Julie was amazing!! She took great care of my cats and even made a special trip back to my house when needed. She took all stress away while I was on vacation and I could really enjoy my time away! My cats loved her and I will book with her again in the future if she’s available!!”


“I am so happy to have found Julia! She clicked immediately with my dog. She followed all of my instructions, but better than that, she treated my dog with loving care. She even washed up his dinner dishes! My cats were well taken care of as well. Julia will always be my go-to sitter.”


About: I love Gods creatures, great and small. I am a lover of unconditional 4 legged of love! I will treat your fur family as if they were my own- unconditionally and with care! I do work a part time job, but officially retired, I love to walk, I look forward to being motivated and sharing the joy of it! I have flexibility and mobility. I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.

“Took great care of my cat (Coco) and turtle (Myrtle). Even went to extra efforts to make sure Coco got her meds in a timely manner. I'll be hiring Nathan again in the near future!”


About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!

“Monica is the best!! I have two Senior Chihuahuas that are both on medication and special food. She has taken the time to earn their trust and takes wonderful care of them and not just physically. She considered each dogs quirks and fears and has made them both very happy dogs when I’m away. I’ve gotten so much more freedom now because of her. She is Amazing!!”


About: My Fiancé and I foster dogs, we've recently adopted a Jack Russell mix that we became attached to. My other experience was with our family Golden Retriever and going every week to visit the dogs at our local shelter. I'm looking for a job to supplement my current job as a Dental Assistant. Hopefully I can sit or walk once or twice a week if that is all possible. I have a but friend Jack Russell mix who loves people and other dogs, she does zooms in the fenced in yard and has his own secure space downstairs if necessary.

About: My senior dog passed away recently and I’m looking for pups to care for until I decide on my next fur baby. I am a hiker and constantly in the woods so if your dog likes walks, I’m your gal! I’m skilled in emergency care and can administer medications. I am a medical professional and my schedule is flexible. I’m willing and able to spend the extra time and love your doggos (but I’m not prejudiced to just dog love!) because all creatures deserve kindness and respect. I have experience dispensing medications and caring for animals with anxiety. Please consider asking me to care for your dog/cat, I will treat them as if they were my own. -Sam I am a remote worker and am able to spend ample time with your animal! Walks are typically 30 minutes minimum, unless otherwise requested. I hike daily and I’m always looking for a hiking companion. Your dog will be able to roam freely in my home (unless otherwise requested). If I’m away, I will likely crate your dog unless they are potty trained and have house manners.

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish, and I treat every pet like part of the family. I'm attentive to each animal’s unique needs and have a calm, gentle approach—whether it’s playing with an energetic pup or giving extra care to a senior pet. I’m also reliable, patient, and happy to follow any special routines or instructions to help your pet feel safe and loved. I teach ESL online, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to work from anywhere. That means I can stay at your home and be present throughout the day to care for your pet—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m able to build my routine around your pet’s needs. I offer in-home pet sitting, which means I can stay at your home to provide consistent care and companionship while you’re away. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own familiar environment.
