Jill is AMAZING! Our pup has pretty severe separation anxiety and is shy around new people, so we were a little nervous to leave her with a sitter for the first time. Turns out we had nothing to worry about — Jill was incredibly understand, kind and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure Aspen was comfortable and happy. Will absolutely rebook in the future. She is just the best!

Gwyn loved Brittany! We really enjoyed her too. She did some light housekeeping as well as keeping with our girl’s routine. She also made a little crochet cat that looked like our cat that Gwyn purrs when playing and cuddling it. Thanks for everything Brittany! You made our first time getting a pet sitter a pleasant experience for everyone.

Gina was amazing and we have already signed up for her services again. Her communication is superb and she cared for our fur babies as if they were her own. Thank you Gina for the care you provided our kiddos and the relief you provided us knowing how well they were cared for when we were away!

Laura always takes great care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats. She has great communication and we are never worried when she is around. I really appreciate her staying at the house, I think the fur babies are so much more comfortable in their own home. Thank you Laura!

What a great experience with Madison. From the start, communication was clear and reliable, and it was obvious that Jake was well taken care of while I was away. I received updates and photos that gave me peace of mind. It’s not always easy leaving your dog with someone else, but this experience made it stress free!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter to contact Madison. 👍👍👍👍👍

Miles took amazing care of our dog Baxter. He was very communicative and we felt so comfortable knowing Baxter and our home were in his care while we were away. We could not be happier with the house sitting services he provided. Would definitely recommend!

Phillip was so great with our large (90lb) 10 month puppy Muggsy this weekend. He took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure Muggsys needs and routine was met. He gave Muggsy lots of affection, playtime, and active walks throughout his stay, and worked within our training routine to keep him on his best behavior. Our home was cared for and clean when we returned as well! Thank you, Phil!

We had the best experience with Taryn! She went above and beyond while watching our pups over the 4th of July weekend. Not only did she send us regular updates and adorable photos (even themed for the holiday!), but she did it without us even having to ask—which gave us so much peace of mind. The power even went out for half the day, and she handled it like a pro—making sure the dogs were safe, comfortable, and cared for the entire time. It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. We are so grateful and will absolutely be booking with her again!

About: I have always enjoyed working with all kinds of animals. The joy, comfort, and love that comes from an animal is truly unbeatable. I am reliable, nurturing, and detail-oriented.i have worked with all ages of animals including puppies and seniors! I have experience in giving oral medications as well! I am a recent college graduate and just left a job. I am currently available all day everyday and would love to fill that time watching your pets! Since this is now my only job, I can spend as much time as needed with your pet! I am very physically active and enjoy going on walks and playing with animals. I communicate with the parents of the pet I am watching to ensure I am giving the best possible care to their fur baby. Most of the families I sit for will write/type directions if there is medications or specific requests. I am unable to board pets in my home, but I will love on your animals from the comfort of their own home.

About: I’ve spent over 10 years caring for my own dogs, Rosie and Snowy, raising Rosie from just 6 weeks old to the happy 10-year-old she is today. That hands-on, lifelong experience shapes the way I care for every pet I meet. I don’t just ‘watch’ pets, I build trust, routines, and real connections with them. I also have experience caring for cats and love them just as much as dogs. Every pet in my care gets personalized attention, dedicated playtime, and genuine companionship. I treat each animal like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and never alone while you’re away. I work as a teacher during the spring and fall, so my schedule is open during the summer for pet sitting. The only conflict in my schedule would be if I’m taking care of another family’s pets :). I care for my dogs in my home with lots of love and dedicated play time. I walk them at a certain time each day, usually twice a day. I like to build the same sense of routine with both my cat and dog clients. I think it’s important that the transition between you, the family, and me is as smooth and seamless as possible. That way the only thing different in your house is me!

If I could give 10 stars I would! Magalay is so great with our animals. She’s super responsive, and takes the most beautiful photos while she’s house sitting. I never have to worry about how our fur baby is doing while out of town as she keeps us updated and my dog absolutely loves her (and she only loves her family). I can’t thank her enough for all the time and care she gives and she’s even amazing with our 18 inch bearded dragon! Highly recommended and I’m so pleased I found her and she agreed to be our pet sitter!

About: I’ve had the joy of caring for many different types of dogs over the years—large and small, energetic and calm, young pups and senior companions. Growing up with dogs taught me to naturally understand canine behavior and body language, which helps me respond to their needs quickly and appropriately. Whether it’s a wagging tail or subtle signs of stress, I’m tuned in to what your dog is trying to say. In addition to basic care and companionship, I’m experienced in administering oral medications, including pills and chewables, with patience and care. Your pet’s health and comfort are always my top priority. Whether your dog needs a playmate, a calming presence, or just someone who understands them, I’m here to help them feel safe and happy while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I customize the visits to ensure their routine is kept. My visits are customized to you and your pet's preferences. I will walk with them on leash. I can easily crate them if it is necessary.

About: Raising my dog from four moths old to now 7 heads old has taught me the patience, consistency, and understanding that pets need at every stage of life! I'm currently on break from school so my schedule is wide open and very flexible! I'm willing to work early mornings, nights or overnight, I’ll fit in with your schedule! I care for pets in my clients home by following their normal routines, keeping their environment familiar, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime! I make sure they are fed, safe, and comfortable!

Lauren was very detail-oriented and thorough. She followed my instructions to a tee and asked her own questions to make sure she was prepared. She left my house exactly how I left it. She took such great care of my fur baby and always gave descriptions that were intentional and creative. I will recommend her to anyone and will use her again for my next vacation away.
