“Felix was awesome! He goes above and beyond my expectations without even the need to communicate anything with him. He got so friendly with my Bella, they played all the time and he was amazing at sending photos and videos so I knew how my kitty was doing. I found the place looking better than when I left and Bella looks happy and well fed and looks like she had a great time. I am so grateful for Felix”

“Maggie had a great time with Casey! Our dog can be difficult with other dogs but Casey assured us he had experience training his own dogs and dog sitting many others. We enjoyed our time off knowing she was in good hands.”

About: Pet Care Experience: I have had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments.

“Alannah watched our golden retriever at our house for 10 days recently! She was wonderful communicating with us regularly & sending photos of our pup. She also walked him everyday! We enjoyed our trip away knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely ask her to watch him again.”

About: I’ve had dogs for as far back as I can remember! They are the thing in this world that makes me happier than anything. I get along with every breed/size/type of dog I’ve ever been around and am so looking forward to meeting more awesome pups through the app! My schedule is currently very flexible and can be adjusted on a week to week basis depending on a clients needs. I plan to be available as much as possible to establish routines but open enough to change based on circumstances. I look forward to providing top quality care for your four legged friend(s)! I am a responsible person who takes looking after someone’s animal/home very seriously. If staying overnight I’d love to meet you and discuss your routines with your animals, and just make sure it’s a situation everyone is comfortable with to maximize the care I can provide!

About: I’ve been a pet owner/lover my whole life! Happy to do whatever makes your doggie feel comfortable while you are away! I know how much pets mean to their owners and would love to offer some TLC to yours when you can’t be there. I’ve also done housesitting for many people over the years and I’ll take great care of your home as well! I can also do chores around the house while you are away, if desired. I specialize in pets that are higher maintenance or require special care (administer meds, nervous/anxious animals, older animals, etc.) I hope to get to meet your furry friend(s) very soon! I am a friendly, down to earth, clean person that will make your time away worry free!

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior pets. I'm patient, gentle, and pay close attention to each pet's unique needs.

I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m currently very flexible, especially on evenings and weekends. Whether it's a quick check-in, feeding, or playtime I’ll make sure your pet gets consistent, loving care. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or special care needs.

“Yara was great! She came a week early to do a meet and greet with Gizmo and followed all the detailed instructions! She also sent me daily photos of my dog which gave me that extra conditioner! She was very sweet and attentive while taking care of my pup! Plan to use her again for future overnight visits!! A++++”

“Amazing! She took care of our dog and cat and they were really happy. She sent us a lot of photos and communicated often we are going to book again with her!”

Stephanie & Michael D.

“Jo-Anne is awesome. She is super sweet and I felt very comfortable with her right away. She was attentive to the dogs, gave great updates while we were away so that I knew the pups were happy and left good notes. I’m hoping to get on her calendar again during this volleyball/ski season.”

“Nicole was so awesome with Milo!”

“HoChuen day-sat our dog for several hours while we were out. I would highly recommend him. He was conscientious and prompt and asked good questions before we signed him up. He was on time and engaged with our dog and followed up on our instructions. He communicated when he thought there was a problem and asked for our input. I would have no hesitation in hiring him again. I recommend him to other users.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs over 50 years since childhood. As a retired doctor, I understand health and behavior well. Neighbors and friends often trust me with walking, feeding, and caring for their pets, knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. As a retired doctor, I now enjoy a peaceful life with a flexible schedule. I’m home most days and would love to spend time walking, playing, and caring for your dogs. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays. My home is quiet and pet-friendly, with a secure backyard and plenty of space. I focus on safety, comfort, and calm interaction. Your pet will have my full attention, and I can easily handle special needs or medication if required.

“Thank you Jenna for your tender loving care of Alex while I was away. I know it wasn't easy, as he also started a new medication (that you picked up for me!!) along with his other meds. Just getting him to take his meds is quite a task. I will certainly contact you again the next time we are out of town. Thank you, thank you!!”

“Margot was so great with Milo and was so helpful for watching him through the whole day! She took him on 2 walks and was very kind! Milo seemed very happy when I got home and we would definitely book with her again 😊”

“Emmy is amazing, we have used her several times and she always goes above and beyond what we would expect from a dog/house sitter. Provides us with regular updates with photos and full details on how our dogs are getting on. Nice to come home to 2 happy dogs and a clean & tidy home.”
