“Kenya was absolutely amazing! The daily updates and photos were incredible and the house was well taken care of. Our two dogs looked very happy the entire 12 day trip and were well taken care of. I highly recommend Kenya for any of your pet sitting needs. Thank you, Kenya!”
“Marie is the BEST! I am so thankful that I left my sweet, sometimes challenging, senior dog with Marie during my trip to Europe. Marie is confident with all kinds of medications and based on all of the photos she sent, my dog enjoyed was beyond loved and happy the whole time. Traveling with the comfort, knowing that my pup was taken care of meant everything to me. Thank you, Marie!!”
“Dwight is extremely accommodating and friendly. He goes above and beyond to take care of our dog, Keaton. We know Keaton will be in amazing hands when Dwight is taking care of him. We hope to have Dwight care for Keaton for more vacations and long days of ours in the future!”
About: Hi! My name is Jack :) I have spent the past several years working as a veterinary technician, caring for animals in a professional medical setting. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I love building trust with animals and helping them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I strive to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care, I will work with you to ensure their feeding, exercise, medication, and enrichment schedules are maintained. Consistency is important for both cats and dogs, and my goal is to keep their day-to-day routine familiar and stress-free while you’re away. I am happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and create a care plan that works best for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician with several years of experience, I am trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or distress and respond appropriately. I provide a calm, patient, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by an experienced animal care professional.
“Thanya was a fantastic housesitter and we would be happy to have her back at any point in the future. Our large dog and two cats were well cared for and completely chilled out and happy when we got back home. Thanya kept us in the loop with plenty of updates and made sure to communicate with any questions/details we forgot in our initial meet and greet. I know our new kitten was a handful in particular so I really appreciate her patience and attention. Thanks so much Thanya!”
“Michael took such great care of our home and pets! He was in regular contact including pictures of the dogs for our kids. Will definitely book again for future trips!”
“Makenna is the bomb! She not only made our two k-9 girls fall in love with her, she also changed the bed, cleaned the house and left us a wonderful unexpected surprise!!! She is also a classy dresser and a delightful person! Thank you Makenna, we will definitely ask you to stay again. Kathy and Michael”
About: I've been pet-sitting for friends, family, and referrals for the past 10 years. Yorkies, Doodles, Dachshunds, and other mixed breed dogs, cats, and birds. I love caring for pets, especially cats and dogs and keeping them on their routines, feeling safe and loved while their owners are away. I've cared for senior dogs and have administered medications to both cats and dogs. I love taking dogs for their walks ...I personally walk 3+ miles every day and will gladly sit for dogs who love a good, long walk. I typically do overnight stays from 2 nights to 6 weeks. I am now accepting dogs, one at a time, for day sits in my home. I have a big fenced in yard and currently no pets. As a writer and yoga teacher I work from home and have lots of time to play with, walk and provide lots of loving attention to your pets. I do not currently have a pet. I used to have cats and I love all pets. I have a fenced in back yard. I typically pet sit in the pet's home when owners travel and am now offering daycare for one dog at a time in my home. I love to send pictures of the pets to their owners to let them know their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Nick did an amazing job taking care of our pups! The pups LOVED him and were a little sad that he had to leave 🤣. Hope to be able to have Nick visit again in the future!”
“Colleen is amazing! Not only did she take care of our dogs for two weeks while we were out of the country, she kept our house plants watered, and the house was nice and clean when we got back! We would love to have her take care of our two pups when we travel again! Thank you so much Colleen!”
“I cannot recommend Logan highly enough. From our very first interaction, he was professional, communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure my dog felt comfortable and cared for. What impressed me most was the level of attention and care he provided. He was consistently reliable, arrived when expected, sent thoughtful updates, and clearly took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, needs, and routines. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. My dog absolutely adores him, which says more than I ever could. It’s obvious that he genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were his own. Every walk left my dog happy, exercised, and excited for the next visit. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, dependable, kind, and truly exceptional with dogs, look no further. Finding someone you can confidently trust with your pet is rare, and Logan has earned my highest recommendation. I would not hesitate to book with him again and will continue to do so whenever I need help caring for my dog.”
“This was our first experience with Robbie, and it was very positive. He immediately connected with my new dog Buddy. His communication was excellent, and my home was just as I left it when I returned.”
“Danielle was amazing with Skai and very communicative. She sent me pictures throughout the stay and I felt very secured. She took amazing care of Skai and I would definitely book again!”
“Taylor took care of my dog for four days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept me updated every single day with multiple photos and detailed messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my dog was happy, loved, and so well cared for. She followed all of my instructions perfectly, kept my home clean, and was incredibly reliable. You can tell she truly loves animals—my dog absolutely adored her! I would 100% book Taylor again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Elizabeth went above and beyond while house/dog sitting for us. She had patience with our chi and let him get comfortable with her. She took the pups on multiple walks and followed all instructions.She also provided daily updates and with pictures and left the house clean before she left. Would definitely use her again!!!”
“Yelena was great, easy to reach and communicate with. Skai loved her and she even left her a new toy to play with! You can tell she is very experienced with dogs especially being that Skai can be very hyper but it did not seem to bother her at all. I would definitely book again, she made things very easy and smooth thank you :)”
“Jonathan has a clear love for animals and he did a tremendous job with our dog and cat. Great updates, very timely and house was spotless. Would highly recommend, in fact, we are already hiring him for a second job in a few weeks!!!!”

I am thankful and grateful to Katarina. She stayed overnight with my three dogs for the weekend. She was reliable communicated well and sent pictures throught her stay. My dogs can be a handful but were relaxed and comfortable with her. Would recommend her and look forward to using her again.
I can’t even begin to stress just how amazing Taylor is, but I’ll give it a go. This was our first time ever using a non family member to watch our pup, who is a bit older and has some medical issues. It was our wedding week, so naturally we were stressed, but from day 1 Taylor was so communicative. Photos, updates, questions all throughout the day - it was incredible! The really big thing for us though, was just how she followed the schedule we left for her and nala to the minute! We will absolutely be using Taylor again!!!!

If there was a “10 star” review, I’d rate Sarah a 10! Sarah took excellent care of my puppy Beau. She communicated with me daily, sent photos, kept me aware of walks and feedings. Sarah house sat for me and when I returned home, the house was immaculate. Prior to my trip, I had asked Sarah to meet with Beau one more time so that he knew her. She made time for us out of her busy work day. Beau took to Sarah right away! Thank you so much for taking such good care of “my baby”
We are absolutely delighted with Maria! We left our beloved dog, Ami, with her for two days while we were at an amusement park. I was extremely worried, as I had never trusted Ami with someone new before, but Maria immediately found a way to connect with our girl. Maria is a very sweet, kind, and responsible sitter. She was always communicative and regularly sent us photo updates of how they were spending their time. This truly helped put my mind at ease! Ami didn't just get along with Maria—she was literally showering her with kisses! This is the best sign that our dog felt comfortable and secure. We will definitely be booking Maria again and recommend her to everyone!
I don’t have enough words to express how grateful we are for Mariza. This was our first time having a pet sitter and Mariza eased our worry. She sent photos and updates of our girls throughout the day. When we came back home the girls were happy not only to see us but you could tell that they were left in awesome hands. We will be reaching out to Mariza for any future house sitting.
Lisa did great with Slinky. He started out being pretty worried about me leaving, but really relaxed and even is playing with toys now. He honestly didn't even play with toys until after this weekend, so she gave him a lot of attention, and got him to be more playful.
