“Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other!

17. Mary S.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting whenever they are out of town. I currently work full-time Hybrid. I work from home Mondays and Fridays. During this time I can provide care specific to your pet and their needs. I can provide potty breaks every 0-2 hours at least. I have a giant fully fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs. One dog prefers more to watch the other dogs play while the other dog loves to be in all the action!


18. Lisa D.
“Lisa has been pet sitting our animals for years. Sugar gliders. Degus, cats and dogs! She has done a great job with all of them. She is trustworthy and reliable. Most importantly, she loves all animals.”




19. Mikah M.

“Mikah takes great care of my dog Mako when they’re out for walks!”


20. Lisa D.
About: I've had pets in my home or family's homes for the entirety of my life! However, my first pet was a cat who I adopted about 10 years ago. I provided a very loving home (everyone will tell you that he was one of the most spoiled cats they met) and he was a great companion! I've also had several years of experience with several different types/sizes of dogs. I frequently walked my family's and neighbor's dogs. I currently work from home so the opportunity for me to get away from my desk to walk a dog or check in on a pet is great! I currently work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible on a weekly basis! It's easy for me to jump offline to check in on a pet or walk a dog during the middle of my work day. At a client's home, I will always be respectful of your space and cleanliness of your home. I have experience with child care in families' homes and always picked up after myself.
