“Amie was very professional, kind and helpful! Our pets were lovingly cared for, and our little dog Oscar was relaxed and content when we arrived home from our vacation. Amie took care of our home like it was her own, and she was excellent at communicating while we were out of town. We felt very pampered by her expertise and care for our pets and our home!”


“I have used this app throughout the years and Nicholas is by far THE BEST! He is reliable, on time, communicates very well and leaves no trace. As a matter of fact, he left our place looking better than it was when we went away. Most importantly, our dog and cat were calm and happy - they were definitely in good hands. We recommend Nicholas and hope he is available for our family again in the future.”


“Elizabeth took excellent care of our cats! She even had to deal with a power outage and was a trooper thru that. Also, our one cat is afraid of thunder and she calmed her down nicely and gave her the love to get her thru it! Highly recommend!”


“Lillie is awesome with our sweet and sometimes willful pittie Flora. It's always reassuring to know our pup is in such good hands! And we come home to the house looking even better than we left it, so that's a nice bonus.”


About: With years of experience competing in dog shows, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior to every walk and sitting session. A lifelong animal lover, I’ve been around both cats and dogs since I was seven. Trust me to provide expert care and companionship for your furry friends. I’m currently working part-time. My Sunday and Mondays are always open and the rest of the week I am available after 2pm. I can also be very flexible if given early notice. I will care for your pets as if they’re my own. All instructions given to me will be strictly adhered to. My top priority is making sure your pet stays happy and healthy throughout each service.

“Jennifer was an excellent sitter for Bruce! She scheduled a meet and greet several days before her first time with Bruce. She arrived promptly and asked all the right questions to confirm to me that I—and Bruce!—were in good hands when she would be taking care of him. Jennifer is pleasant, communicative and very reliable! I definitely recommend her to you! And, I’ll be using her again! THANKS!”


“Sydney was amazing! She was available on short notice and treated our dog like her own when we went out of town for a long weekend! She was very communicative and sent pictures and videos. Highly recommend her for pet sitting!”


“Alicia is absolutely incredible. We went out of town for 5 days and it was the least anxiety we've had about leaving all our animals. She gave detailed and many updates with pictures, truly cared and loved them all. She even took all four dogs on several walks be herself! We honestly couldn't have asked for better care. We thank her so much and 100% recommend her. She will most definitely be our animal sitter if she is available!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—no pup too big or small! I’ve also walked cats, administered meds, brushed teeth, and provided loving care for seniors. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m experienced and happy to help. My fenced yard offers safe outdoor time, and I treat every animal like family. I currently have full availability and offer flexible, reliable care for your pets! I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, walks, daycare, and more—even same-day appointments. I do have little ones at home, so we may step out briefly for park outings, but never for long. Your pet will still get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is dog/cat - friendly, with a securely fenced yard, located on a quiet, low-traffic street. I clean with pet-safe products to ensure a healthy environment. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care as I do my own. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands.

About: I had a cat growing up but the last 5 years I have had two large, fluffy mainecoon cats that’s are my whole word but at every high maintenance! I would be able to check on dogs and cats after early in the morning it or after work ends for me around 4:00. I have most Friday’s off so I have flexible, long weekends! My own animals are not outdoor cats but we have collars with trackers in case they ever run outside! But luckily they never have 😄 We are very careful about not leaving food out that’s toxic for them to eat like chocolate 🍫

About: I’ve trained and taken care of my own dogs including becoming a therapy dog team with my current dog, Jonas. I love “reading” dogs and responding to their needs. I dog sit in my home and also offer dog sitting services to guests at my Airbnb on-site. Currently I am using a walker and am awaiting hip replacement surgery. As part of my schedule of care, I do two walks per day and I practice training after each exercise session. I offer lots of variety in activities and it’s a safe place to have fun and play! I have two doggy doors and a fenced in dog yard. I have crates, many play and relaxing areas, and many toys to enjoy. Depending on the mix of dogs, I cater to your way of feeding, needs for training, etc.

About: I have over 20 years of experience either in raising my own dogs or caring for other’s by house sitting while they are away. I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own, with much love and attention. I am available most evenings after 5:30pm during the week until 9pm and available most Saturday and Sunday mornings until 2pm. I can be available at other times if pre-arranged. I have two fur children of my own. I have had experience ranging from puppies to seniors. I have had experience with a diabetic pet who needed daily injections and more attentive care. I am comfortable with both large and small dogs.

About: I have had Dogs in my life since the age of six. I have done pet sitting for neighbors in the past and gotten great reviews. Also , I’m a proud dog auntie to my sisters to dogs. I have been taking care of them for the past 3 years when my sister leaves out of town. I am a quick learner and I can follow specific instructions. I have a lot of patience, and make it my priority to give pets the best care possible. Currently I have Graduated from College and have a lot of availability! I also work as a barista and do mostly mornings so I have a lot of my afternoon and nights available! In my personal experience when I was given specific instructions followed them! Also in a client’s home I would make sure the pet gets attention and be mindful of the space that I am in.

“Abby was a last minute find and was wonderful! She was really great at communicating before and throughout her stay with our two dogs. She sent photos and we could tell our dogs were really happy with Abby upon our return home. We’d be happy to have Abby back to our house to watch our pups again.”
