“This was our first time booking with Claire, so I was definitely a little nervous at first leaving Cosmo with someone new, but it honestly worked out so well. She sent daily updates with tons of photos and videos which made us feel really comfortable knowing our baby was home getting spoiled and loved. Cosmo looked so happy in every video doing his little zoomies, and when we got home he was healthy, happy, and clearly very well taken care of. She also kept the house super clean which we really appreciated. So glad we found Claire and the definitely book her again.”

“Hayley dog sat our two little dogs last Saturday and she was lovely. If she has availability to sit your dog, definitely contact and book her! First of all, our one dog is a 15 year old diabetic with a host of other problems. He has to eat at a certain time, take oral medications, and get his insulin shot at a certain time. With a meet and greet, Hayley actually came over and learned how to give him his shot. To be honest, it's really hard to find someone to give an insulin shot who'll also sit, but Hayley got the gist right away! She's really nice and very responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in Hayley's care. I got photos all night, updates on their feeding/meds, and when I came home late at night, everything was very tidy and cleaned up. So, the point being, if you can get Hayley to sit for you, do it. It was such a relief having her here with our little guys. We will definitely be asking her to sit for us in the future :) She's great!”
About: Passionate dog lover with experience in all breeds and sizes. I’ve handled walks, feeding picky eaters, administering meds, and even attended training classes with clients. Your pup will be in loving, capable hands. I currently have very flexible availability during winter break and can provide care throughout the day. Once classes resume in late January, I’m typically available afternoons, evenings, and overnight, with flexibility depending on location and schedule. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home and treat each space with respect. I follow routines closely, keep pets safe and comfortable, and prioritize trust, communication, and responsible care at all times.
“Hannah was great to come watch my dog for an entire day when I didn’t have the chance to come back and check on her. She sent lots of photos and was very attentive to Pickles. Would definitely use her again”
“Kimberly is one of the best dog-sitters we’ve ever had. We have a needy golden retriever and she house-sat for us for four days. She communicated so well, gave our dog tons of attention, followed our requests diligently, and kept our home very clean. Thanks to Kimberly for doing a great job! Highly recommend!”
“ABOVE AMD BEYOND. Without a doubt our human to go to when our parents are gone… (K9 Diesel & K9 Karma) Austin is amazing. Clear communication and extremely easy-going. he loves dogs and definitely does not have an issue with handling large dogs. happy to have met him.”
“Dee Dee performed all the tasks we asked of her, which included administering medication, feeding, walking, watering, and cleaning up after our 7 year old malinois with a serious medical condition. She stayed overnight for a week and took in the mail, brought out the trash cans, and looked after our house. She helped to make our vacation possible, as our dog cannot be boarded because of her medical condition.”
“This was our first time having a stranger house sit for us and we were super nervous, but upon meeting Ellie we knew our pups were going to be in great hands! We were gone for about 3 days and Ellie sent us pictures and updates of the pups everyday. When we got back home we were so happy to see how well the pups and the house were taken care of. We are super happy with Ellie and will definitely be asking for her help in the future! Thank you Ellie!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like family — you’ll find me giving scratches, chatting with pups, and making new furry friends wherever I go. I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, turtles and more) and have hands-on experience raising and training XXL breeds including Cane Corso and Great Pyrenees, as well as few velcro pittie mixes. I’ve rescued and fostered large breeds and have regularly pet-sat for dozens of friends and family, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I have post-surgical care and recovery experience with extensive TPLO experience: recovery area setup/design, PT routines, non-weight-bearing potty breaks, enrichment, medication administration, wound/bandage care, and handling special-needs or anxious dogs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m excited to meet your pup and provide an infinite amount of pets and belly rubs! I work remotely, part-time which makes me flexible and available to stick to your pet’s routine—walks, meals, meds, and playtime—and provide reliable, consistent care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I prefer caring for pets in their own home so I can follow their familiar routine and accommodate their quirks and comforts. Before our first booking I’ll do a pre-visit and send a short questionnaire to capture feeding, walking, medication, crate/bed preferences, emergency contacts, and any behavioral notes. I’ll follow your instructions to a T, keep your pet and home secure, maintain feeding and potty schedules, provide enrichment and exercise. Additionally, I'll send regular photo/text updates so you mind can be at ease knowing they are well cared for while you’re away.
“Krista took such amazing care of our 130 lb dog while we were out of town. She didn’t just “watch” him, she truly loved on him, played with him, and treated him with so much kindness and attention. Coming home to a happy, relaxed, tail-wagging dog says everything about the care he received. She also watered our plants, kept us updated with lots of pictures, and went above and beyond by watercoloring a beautiful portrait of our dog as a parting gift. It was incredibly thoughtful and meaningful. Krista is dependable, caring, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with animals. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pets and home.”

“I can't recommend Jeff enough! We have used him for several walks and used him for our first overnight. My 3 dogs absolutely adore him!! He is very pleasant to be around, clean, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable. We will definitely be using his services as long as we can. We truly can't thank you enough Jeff!!!”
About: I am very passionate about caring for animals of all species and sizes! I worked for a dog rescue for 5 years including working in the medical clinic and as the Lifesaving and Care Manager, so I have experience caring for dogs in all life stages and with all sorts of medical needs. I am experienced with giving medication, injections, vaccines, and assessing their health and wellbeing. I also rode horses for 10 years and have experience working in a full service training barn. I was a regular pet sitter at a client's home caring for 4 dogs, 5 horses, a pig, 2 goats, and 2 tortoises which was my favorite job by far! I have my own dogs and cats that I love dearly. I would love to be able to love and care for your pets just like I do my own! Please contact me with any further questions! I currently work part-time various days throughout the week, but my shifts are typically only 5-7 hours. I am very diligent about making sure that your dogs get walked daily and bathroom breaks often throughout the day. I will make any needed accommodations for any medical needs your pets may have. I also have a pet friendly car with a travel crate and a backseat canopy, so if you know your furry friends love to go for rides to get a pup cup or pup patty, I will gladly take them! I will follow all instructions you leave regarding your pets. I am very diligent about making sure your dogs are walked daily and let out for consistent bathroom breaks. I am very familiar with crate training and my own dogs are crate trained. I cannot emphasize enough how much I love pets. I will treat them as if they are my own. If they normally sleep in bed with you, I will 100% let them sleep in the bed with me. I just ask that you are honest and upfront about any behavioral issues your pets may have. I have experience with dogs that have resource guarding issues, aggression, are escape artists, have to be kept separate from other pets, etc, but in order to give both your pet and I the best possible experience, I ask that you are honest about any behaviors that may impact our time spent together. I personally own a mastiff and a pitbull mix, so I am very familiar with large breeds and have personally had dogs that needed to be kept separate all times. I also had my own horse for many years and have always had cats around as well! I personalize each experience to fit your pet's exact needs. Please let me know if you have any specific questions you would like answered! I would love to connect!
“Avery is an amazing pet sitter! This is our first time using her and we will absolutely reach out in the future. Our cats loved her! She is friendly, professional and great with animals. It was such a relief to have such an incredible pet sitter looking after our babies while we were away. Plus she got some incredible pics of our little snugglebug to tied us over till we could get home and love them us ourselves.”

Sam & Solene are absolute *dream* pet/home sitters. They are so kind, communicative, and professional. We didn't worry once while we were away and we came home to very happy and calm pets. They also left our house SO clean. They really go above and beyond, and we are so grateful to have found them for future pet/house sits! Thank you, Sam & Solene! 🌺
Wonderful experience. Cheri is very experienced and loves dogs. She was amazing with our high energy dog that needs a lot of exercise and playtime. We gots regular updates and saw how happy our dog was while we were away. She gave us the royal treatment. Very friendly and attentive. She was also a wonderful houseguest. We will definitely have her again!
This was my first time having a sitter come to my house to watch my puppies and I could not have made a better choice than Taylor. Her attention to detail, professionalism, follow up, and her love for her job and animals are top notch. This is a testament to her superior work ethic. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing fully well my 2 dogs are well taken care of. When I came back home, my dogs looked very happy and the house was in pristine condition. If you’re looking for a a reliable, trustworthy, professional animal lover, Taylor has my highest recommendations.
It is so clear our Ellie was cared for with genuine love and attention the entire time we were away. Dee Dee kept us well‑informed with updates that gave us total peace of mind, We can tell Ellie felt safe, happy, and completely at home. We’re incredibly thankful—and we’ve already booked her for our next trip because she’s truly amazing.
Jezrah-Valerie was a great sitter for my little bad boy, Bu. Bu is a Portuguese water dog, which means that – – even according to the books – – he can be expected to be willful and quarrelsome. He has a bark that you can hear in China. And he knows what he wants and when he wants it he is very opinionated, but he also is the cutest little dog you’ve ever seen all 72 pounds of him and also one of the strongest dogs you will ever find. And also, he is very mouthy, which means that he will run his teeth along your hand, never ever wanting to bite you, but just to let you know that he has teeth just in case you didn’t know. He will not use his teeth on you unless you physically attack him, which is unlikely in a Dogsitter. The only time he ever has used them that I’ve seen was a giant Cane Corso, with close-clipped ears and quite an attitude attack attacked him. And so Bu defended himself admirably, flying through the air to avoid being bitten himself. At any rate,, Jezrah is always thinking. She is proactive and very bright. She loves dogs. She has a charming smile which never disappears. She is sweet. She loves dogs. She is generous. She is cheerful. My little bad mischief-maker was all smiles, even though I had been gone for 9 hours. I boo is not a dog who wants to be on his schedule. When he has to pee, he will tell you. He eats at regular times, but sometimes he is not hungry then so he does not eat. He gets hungry later and wants to eat so he tells you when he is hungry. You either have to have a Dog’s mind, or being in sync with his personality, or pay close attention to him to know when he is hungry and when he has to go out. I have had him since he was little.l, and mamas know these things. But other people might not. Just figured it out pretty quickly. And boo was a happy camper when I came home. I loved her personality and her attitude and the way she took care of BU. I told her she should raise her prices, but she hasn’t done it yet. I would say, if you can get her, and she has the time availability, you should definitely grab her when she is available. She comes up with her own ideas on how to do things sometimes and they work just great. I will definitely be using her again… just don’t take her on the night or days that I need her., please. Ha, ha.
We had a great experience with Staci! I have a 16 year old dog and Staci took the time to make sure she was comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Staci sent daily picutures and communicated throughout the day about how my pet was doing. She was even open to extending her stay, last minute, when my travel plans changed. I would love to have Staci watch my dog again!
Hailey is a wonderful Petsitter. She took care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat, staying overnight at our house for 4 nights. She made sure the dogs had fun in the backyard and pool, and gave all 3 furries plenty of cuddles. Frequent communication via text with photos and video. Highly recommend Hailey!
Michael was absolutely amazing!! From the very first message he was super responsive and on point. When we met him, he was so sweet with our pup—we just knew right away he was the perfect fit. He showed up on time, followed her routine perfectly, and kept us updated with pictures every day. He was also super communicative if she needed anything, which gave us total peace of mind. Honestly, 10/10 recommend Michael—we’ll definitely be booking him again soon! Thank you so much!!
