“We cannot say enough wonderful things about this amazing couple! From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were not only cared for, but truly loved while I was away. They sent frequent updates and the sweetest pictures throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind—something I haven’t felt in a long time when leaving my dogs. It was clear they treated my pups as if they were their own, paying attention to every little detail and making sure they were happy, safe, and comfortable. Their communication was excellent, their kindness was genuine, and their dedication was obvious. For the first time in a long time, I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in the best hands possible. If you’re looking for sitters who go the extra mile, look no further. I am beyond grateful for the care they provided and we have already booked out our year with them again!”


“Our 2nd time having Victoria and Nicole watch Zoey and are, once again, extremely happy. I love how Zoey has really warmed up to them too. We are so grateful.”


“Emily was awesome with Zeca! It was our first time using River and it was really helpful! She was updating us every day with pictures and arranged with a friend to have him when she had to work full time!”


“Samantha is the best house and pet sitter! Both my pets are recent rescues and are a handful. She treated them as if they were her own, and sent me updates and pictures of them throughout my time away. Her communication skills are wonderful! I always felt like I knew what was going on at home, almost like I was there. When I came home, she had even cleaned the house! She truly went above and beyond. I would love to hire her again for my next trip and I highly recommend her to others!”


“Eris took great care of our sweet elderly dog, and was so patient and sweet with her about her anxiety with fireworks. She also left our home clean and tidy. She was willing to step up to the plate when our dog had abnormal symptoms (offered to take her to the vet, pick up meds, etc). We would recommend her as a sitter!”


About: I have been caring for my own pets for over 10 years, and throughout that time have cared for pets of family and friends whenever needed. I am currently pet-mom to 2 cats and 1 dog (cattle dog). I am happy to care for pets of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I have professional experience caring for humans of all ages (infants-seniors), and am excited to use those caretaking skills to love on your furry friends! I work an office job during the week, but my position allows for flexibility in hours/scheduling. I can do walks/check-ins during the day (depending on location), and any level of care in the evenings/overnight. Weekends are most flexible, and I can provide any of my listed services. For services in your own home, I have my own transportation and am happy to work out a schedule that works for us both :) I’m flexible with scheduling, and am happy to accommodate to meet the needs of your pet.

“I feel so lucky I found Alexus to dogsit for us while away visiting family. I have two lab mixes that she quickly bonded with, even my timid dog who is very weary of strangers. They were snuggling and playing together within a day or two, I was (happily) shocked! One of our dogs got sick right before we had to leave on our trip, and Alexus took such good care of her and was always willing to go the extra mile for us when our dog needed to go to the vet while we were out of town. She was communicative and sent us daily photos and videos which I loved. She's the best!”


“Michelle was the best sitter we could've asked for! We went on vacation to Europe for 2.5 weeks and she stayed in our home to look after our cat and dog. She took amazing care of both our pets and our home. We have a high maintenance (aka neurotic!) border collie and she handled all her quirks perfectly. We left quite detailed instructions and Michelle followed them to a tee. She was a really great communicator and kept us updated with info and pics every day (even taking into consideration the time difference!). We came home to two happy little pets and a spotless house. Can't recommend her enough!!!”


“Mark is the best! I really could not imagine a better person to take care of my dog and house sit. He is very consistent with updates on how my dog is doing as well as being very capable of taking care of a house.”


“Abby was wonderful with our three dogs!! We have one very old lady, one energetic puppy and a very shy puppy. She was able to care for all of them and had great communication with us the entire time we were away!”


“Kolby was absolutely amazing with my two chihuahuas! They got so much love and attention while we were away that I think they were actually a little sad when we came home. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I would definitely book with Kolby again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”


“Alexandra was great! I loved her daily updates with photos and we returned to a happy and healthy dog. Our dog was a little more tired than she typically is with dog sitters, so that was great. She even surprised us with a flower, card, and origami dog when we got home. We will definitely be interested in using her again!”


“Jesse did such a good job watching my mini zoo (two dogs and one cat)! He was communicative and sent lots of pictures which I really appreciated. I will absolutely be reaching out to him first the next time I need a sitter!”


About: Hi, I'm Laura! Some little girls imagine growing up, getting married... having kids... Well, I daydreamed about having pets since my parents were allergic and I couldn't have any pets during childhood. Once I bought my first house, I adopted my dog from the shelter. Shadow was a one year old Rottweiler and he was already potty trained and knew basic commands. He was perfect for a first dog! I also have volunteered for the Humane Society and helped raise litters of puppies and kittens over the years, I've also had experience bottle feeding kittens. My home sits on 1/2 an acre and has a 6' fully fenced backyard, so lots of room for your dogs to run and play. I have blankets on the couches so everyone can be comfortable. Dog hair, don't care :) I work from home so I'm available for potty breaks throughout the day, I have half an acre so there's plenty of room to play. My yard is fully fenced for safety but dogs can feel comfortable on the couch or dog bed, whatever your dog may prefer best in the environment!

“Sadie couldn’t have been better! I had never used a pet sitter before for my very needy/attached dogs and I felt soo comfortable with Sadie taking care of them! She is literally the best. Could not recommend her enough! We already have her booked for our next trip!”


About: I have been caring for pets since I was in High School (many moons ago), I have had dogs in my household for 40 years. I am relied upon by neighbors to drop in to assist with their pets when working late or non-standard hours. I enjoy training dogs the basic commands, seeing the joy of a dog playing fetch, and want to ensure the pet owners know their fur babies are safe and cared for while they’re away. When in the office I kennel my dog and would kennel pups if boarding in my home. When my college son is home, he cares for our Shadow. Lots of play time when I get home. I have a large fully fenced backyard, plenty of room to run, fetch, or soak up the sun. I had to teach my rescue how to play fetch and it is so fun to see the joy in a dog when playing with them. It would be easy for me to provide care in the pet owners home or my home, and I am open to discuss options.

Lisa M.
“Lisa loves all pups. Although everyone loves their own dogs, Lisa has always been able to connect and bond with her pups and everyone else’s. Lisa has had all sizes of dogs in her home, from 85-pound labs to a 12-pound best friend. When the dogs need sitting time or a good walk, Lisa is always the first to volunteer. With a great space and a large yard available, I cannot think of anyone our Pinot Gris would rather stay with more than Aunt Lisa!”
