“Leila took care of our fur baby and exceeded all expectations!!!! She sent us consistent communication all weekend and made sure that he was as happy as could be!! We will 100% be using her again 🫶🏼”



“We had a great experience with Nathalya! She stayed at our house for a week and left everything clean and tidy, she even took the trash out!! Our 7-year old dog is usually very nervous around new people, but she warmed up quickly and seemed comfortable the entire time. Nathalya kept me updated daily with messages and photos, and always responded within minutes. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands! 10/10 would recommend Nathalya!”

Our home and pupper were just as we left them when we returned! I knew I could relax with Jayelyn taking care of everything!”



“Christy stayed at my house for 11 days and watched my 2 dogs. I could not of asked for a better person to watch my dogs. My dogs took into her very well. She had no problems what so ever. I will have her watch my dogs from now on. I would recommend her any body, she is wonderful. She was communicating to me every day and was very well done. She is very professional and great. I can't say how pleased I am that I found Christy to watch my dogs.”

“Apollo is somewhat “special” and can get nervous with strangers but Jessica was so patient with him the first day until he eventually came around! I am so grateful for her kind, gentle approach towards my slightly weird doggo! Will DEFINITELY be using her regularly!!”


About: I have had a plethora of pups all my life in a variety of sizes; and everything from teacups to titans. I have also more recently (4yrs) been able to unleash my love for fur babies on kitties too! I also have experience pet and house sitting for many years. I have a teacup poodle named Nugget that loves playing with dogs and cats of all sizes. Though Nugget and I live in an apartment, it is quite large with an open floor plan and plenty of room for the zoomies. It is also a very pet friendly gated complex with plenty of grassy areas to run around and play, and only a few minutes from the dog park! It is also just a block away from an artisan pet bakery and a veterinary hospital. Just across the street from my complex is a beautiful neighborhood with picturesque tree lined sidewalks that are great for afternoon walks. Nugget and I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and share some pets and cuddles. I currently work from home and make my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to work with you and your pet’s schedule for the best outcome for all. My teacup poodle, Nugget, and I love hosting furry friends. We have lots of treats and toys to share l, with your permission of course. Multiple walks take place each day, anywhere from 15mins to an hour, depending on the weather, and fresh water is always available. Pets are allowed on the furniture and multiple pet beds are available, but I understand if you and your pet prefer their own and/or their crate. The longest time pets would be left alone is 1-2hrs, but this rarely happens as I usually take them with me if the errand allows for it. I am also happy to care for your pup in your own home. Please just let me know what kind of routine you wish me to follow and I’ll be happy to oblige to the best of my ability. Please note, walks during drop-in visits will only be long enough for your heart up to take care of their bodily needs. These visits are for feeding, checking in on your animal, and socialization. If you would like the focus of the visit to be walking your pup, please book a dog walk, as opposed to a drop-in visit. Thank you.

About: I’ve been working with animals for 9 years. Started as a groomer when I was 16. Be came a vet technician 22 years old. I love working with animals I work four days and off three days. I spend majority of my time at home pet sitting for friends and family who are going on vacation. I’ve worked with pets who have health issues by doing so making sure they receive medication, feed properly, spending extra quality care with them. As far as other pets as well who simply needs loving and play time

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and was lucky to grow up with three amazing pups — a Schnauzer, a Poodle, and a Toy Poodle. Since I was little, they were always part of my daily routine. After school, I’d spend time playing with them, and every evening after dinner, I’d take them on walks. I’ve always loved observing their behavior and moods. Whenever something seemed off, I would let my parents know right away so we could make sure they were okay. That early experience taught me to be attentive, gentle, and proactive when it comes to pet care. Being raised in a home filled with dogs, I naturally developed a strong sense of responsibility and love for animals. I treat every dog as if they were my own family. I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I'm usually available between 3 PM and 9 PM on both weekdays and weekends. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company, I’m happy to help during those hours! When caring for pets, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I enjoy playing with them using their favorite toys and taking them out for walks after meals or at scheduled times. I also love giving them gentle physical affection—whether it’s cuddling or simply sitting beside them for a good belly rub. Safety is always my top priority. I keep an eye out for anything in the environment that could be harmful, and make sure pets stay away from unsafe foods, objects, or areas around the home. My goal is to create a calm, caring space where your pet feels at ease.

“Hire Jules. She’s amazing. We booked three days of care for our three pets with her, and she was incredibly easy to communicate with, sent updates frequently on everyone’s status, and was able to win over our fearful German shepherd and very shy cat because she is the kindest and calmest person you can find on this app. We came home to happy and well-loved pets, and are thankful Jules looked after them and our home while we were away!”

About: I have cared for dogs through neighbors, friends and family since I was a kid! I often helped walk, feed, brush and play with dogs growing up. I have cared for all different breeds and sizes, including German shepherds, Newfoundland’s, Boston terrier, and more! I love getting to walk, pet and play with dogs and can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I currently work part time as a home organizer 3-4 days a week, so I’m available some weekdays and on weekends! While I usually know my schedule a month in advance, it can vary depending on projects with clients. I live in an apartment complex with a small dog park and a pond to walk around. However, my apartment itself isn’t available as a space to care for your pets. I am happy to come to your home to pick up your pet or stay to care for them!

“Very good.”


“Why wait till the end of my booking. Javier is a gentleman through and through. Ari is a very suspicious girl and goes off on people’s smell. She has never allowed others to walk her, or play with her, and I’m beyond amazed that she allowed Javier to walk her to his home. Proving Javier is a genuinely good person.”


About: I love animals and have always had cats and dogs in my home to care for and could not imagine life without the pets in my life I usually am home from my day job around 4-4:30 (depending on traffic considering I work near the galleria) so I’m usually available anytime after that during the week and all day on Saturdays and Sundays I am not currently offering pet sitting in my own home because I do not own the home but am willing to check on yours in your home as much as necessary!

About: My dog was a rescue with severe anxiety which we overcame with love and patience. In his senior years, I became adept at giving meds and dealing with his hearing loss and age-related issues. I have fostered multiple dogs through the years, all with different personalities and temperaments. My schedule is currently flexible so I am available during the week and many weekends. I am open for walks or drop-ins while you are at work. I don't have any pets in my house, so dogs needing to be solo are welcome. I have a private fenced back patio and beautiful green space around my home for lots of walks!

“Melissa is great! Great communication and looks like our BERTi had a wonderful weekend even though it was our first weekend away from him. Would highly recommend Melissa. Will also be using Melissa again.”

“Amani did great with our dogs. She was attentive and asked questions about their routine, etc. She followed our instructions and we came home to happy and healthy pups. Would gladly have her back.”

He’s always been gentle, patient, and really in tune with animals. Now that I have a cat of my own, I always ask him to look after her when I travel. Every time I come back, I can tell she’s been in good hands—she’s calm, happy, and clearly comfortable with him. My brother has a natural ability to make animals feel safe and loved. I fully trust him with any pet, and I know he’d be a fantastic sitter for others too.”

Finally she is one of the few who gets along with my cranky kitty... It makes it so much easier to gobout of town for work or a vacation knowing she's taking care of them!!”

Hannah took care of Happy for a week and did a marvelous job. I really appreciate her kindness and sensitivity to my dog Happy.

Cierra was responsive, provided plenty of updates and photos, and my babies seemed to love her! Would definitely recommend and book again.

Our dogs always have a great time with Olha, she follows all instructions carefully, sends lots of pictures and videos, and is very trustworthy. 10/10

Nathalya took great care of our dog and cat while we were away. She followed all of our instructions. Our fur babies loved her!

Great sitter! He was flexible, attentive, sweet and was so great with my babies! I am so grateful I was able to enjoy my free time because he was there with them! He even looked after all of my plants and the house which was amazing peace of mind. Thank you!!!

Jessica took great care of our 3 pups, staying at our house with them while we were on vacation. We felt very confident leaving them with her in our home. She is wonderful.

Naomi did such a great job with my 3 dogs. She really takes the time to make them feel comfortable. I have an older dog that gets nervous when we are gone. Naomi really took the time to work with her and form a relationship to keep my dog calm and make her feel comfortable. I felt completely at ease while she was watching the dogs. I highly recommend her!

Jasmeen takes such good care of our beloved companions. Appreciate how much she loves them and sends us pictures. :)

Morgan did double duty house/pet sitting for me over a recent long weekend. I can’t say enough about the quality of care, professionalism and responsiveness that Morgan provided both prior to and during my trip. I would not hesitate to recommend her services.

Very professional and very respectful. Sarah kept us updated throughout the stay and was great for our dogs.

Rafaelina is our go-to dog sitter! Our girls Lola & Birdie adore her, and she’s been available with short-notice the last few times we’ve hired her! She’s an excellent house sitter too and you will not be disappointed if you hire her!!!

Melissa took care of our three boxer dogs for the second time this year. She stayed at our house with the pups each time. Melissa always takes very attentive care for our dogs’ varied needs and I trust her completely to provide them with all the attention they deserve. My house is always in good shape when I get home and she always provides great communication and plenty of pictures throughout her time with our doggies. I fully recommend Melissa for any dog services one may need. She’s greatly knowledgeable and experienced.

Javier has a kind, gentle spirit and was great at communicating in a timely manner. We’re grateful for your service, Javier!

Amani was great with my two pups! She sent lots of pictures. She did great managing a new puppy and my older pup. We will def book her again!!

We used Sandra and her daughter repeatedly, and even recommended them to friends. They spend time with the dogs and aren’t just in and out, like so many pet sitters. They communicate and send pictures.

Laura was very attentive, friendly and communicative. She was great about updating us by sending photos. She did a great job and I would definitely book again!
