“Rosalina was great! I have 3 cats and a skittish dog. Rosalina was patient and took the time to let my dog get used to her. Very reliable over the crazy holiday weekend! I will definitely use Rosalina again!”

“Mallory took great care of both of our dogs, especially our medically needy senior. She was easy to communicate with and diligently monitored symptoms in our senior. Our dogs were well cared for and I would happily rebook.”

She was very communicative and sent lots of wonderful updates while we were gone! We were able to fully enjoy our time away knowing that our dog was in incredibly kind, capable hands. We would love to work with Pam again!”

About: I’ve shared my life with animals for over a decade, and my heart truly belongs to dogs and cats. As a homeowner and a "dad" to three pets of my own, I understand that your animals aren't just pets—they’re family. Why Choose Me? -I’ve been with my own buddies for 10 years, navigating everything from post-op surgery care and complex medication schedules to senior "attitudes" and puppy smiles. -I am a hybrid worker with a flexible schedule and my own transportation, making it easy for me to drop in for walks or midday snuggles. - I treat every home with the same care I give my own. You can expect a clean space and frequent, proactive communication so you never have to wonder how things are going. -Whether your pet has a specific routine or a quirky habit, I follow instructions to the letter to ensure their comfort remains consistent. I know the peace of mind that comes with knowing your fur babies are happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m here to provide that same comfort for you. Work mostly from home with one day in the office. Very flexible on needs and schedule! Up early and go to bed late, which makes my schedule open to accommodate the needs of our little fur friends. I respect your space, privacy, and needs to ensure your home is just the way you left it when you return. In my home, we keep a clean ship, organized, and make sure all fir buddies are rewarded with treats when good behaviors are exhibited. With instruction, can be mindful of any special needs for our fur friends. Their health and comfort matters too!
“Rebekah stayed with our 4 dogs and 1 cat this past weekend and honestly everything went perfect! Our dogs and cat were very well taken care of and our house looked as though she never stayed. She was very prompt with updates throughout the weekend and gave our fur babies so much love! We will be using her again in the future and would highly recommend!!”

“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”

About: I am a down to earth dog lover! I have two silly labs at home and they are the highlight to my family. We frequently visit the dog parks and walk trails. I have experience with dogs young and old, sickly, High energy to lazy. While your dog is in my care we will have lots of fun!

About: Hi, I’m Brooklynn! I believe pets are family, and my goal is to make your dog feel safe and loved while you’re away. When I house sit, I provide companionship, constant updates, and plenty of cuddles. I’m comfortable with senior dogs and administering medication. I’ll keep your pup on their exact routine to minimize stress and ensure your home is treated with the utmost respect. I’m a stay at home mom to a 1 year old! So I am available majority of the time throughout the week and weekends. I will make sure that your pup is well taking care of and getting all of the love and care that they deserve!

About: I try to provide training for your dog using simple commands and treats. I have a corgy. He likes eating poop, so I am firm with him but lovely. I believe I take my time to rub his belly or play with my dog before feeding him or going for a walk. I always keep treats and bags. I currently have a job from home, with a flexible schedule. I always go outside for walk 10 to 20 minutes o play with tennis ball. I used to go outside 2 or 3 times a day. In the morning the firts walk is longer. I have many different toys and a medium-sized blanket if he needs to rest. They can also go on my couch. If he needs more privacy, I have a big cage with blankets and pillows. I live in an apartment with 2 beds to a bath.
