“Anna is an excellent pet sitter. She is responsible, compassionate, caring for our dog and takes wonderful pictures. Anna won’t hesitate to call or text you with any questions. She left our dog happy, home clean and us relaxed knowing our dog was well taken care of. Thank You”
“Karina was absolutely amazing. She gave us regular updates and spoiled our dogs more than we do. She took care of all of their medical issues. We will definitely ask Karina to watch our dogs again.”
“Our pup LOVES Gabi. When we returned from a 10 day trip she acted like we just took a short trip to the store. She used to have hair loss and digestive issues after a long trip. This time none of that!”
About: I started off taking care of dogs at a young age. My grandma owns a large labrador and a small yorkie. I’ve had many experiences dog-sitting and walking. I have my own golden doodle that I love to death. I am able to go on walks every weekday. Monday through Friday i’m available from 4-7 PM. My hours will become more flexible during summer break. I’m used to handling big dogs as well as small dogs. I know how to keep a dog calm and under control during a walk. I’ll always make sure to watch out for cars, bikers, and pedestrians.
“Erica was wonderful with our dog. She was very communicative and treat our dog (who is very anxious) so well. We are so glad to have found her and will definitely be working with her again. Highly recommend.”
“Thea watched our two dogs and stayed at our house for a week as well as feeding the fish in my reef tank. She sent daily updates along with many photos. She did a phenomenal job, came back to a clean house and would use her services again in a heartbeat. Truly five stars for Thea.”
“Charlotte was fantastic. We had a few hiccups and she was beyond helpful. She was very communicative and sent daily updates with pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone for pet sitting and will definitely use her again!”
“Yulia was exceptional! I simply don’t post reviews, but in this case I feel compelled to because of the fantastic experience we had with Yulia taking care of our dogs and our home. She was responsive, smart, confident, kind, and experienced. We received great updates, including photos and videos, everyday. She even added a soundtrack to her videos…too cute! Upon returning home, the house was spotless, and most importantly the dogs were relaxed and happy. In fact, I was a little disappointed that they didn’t seem to have missed me as much as I had hoped, ha. The house was spotless and she had left a very nice letter thanking us for the opportunity (along with a plate of fresh baked brownies). She is the ideal balance of professional and personal. We will absolutely work with Yulia again in the near future and we highly recommend her!!”
“Makayla was SO great! She recently completed a house sitting visit. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures (which we loved), and took great care of not only our dog Kygo, but our home as well. You’d never even know she stayed here for a few days - that’s how well she cleaned up. Our dog can sometimes be unsure of new people coming into the house but Makayla was patient with him and they are now good buddies :) We plan to book more drop-ins, walks, and overnights with her. I recommend you book her ASAP, you will not regret it. Having peace of mind about our dog is too priority when we travel and Makayla exceeded all expectations. 5/5”
“Eva is absolutely amazing!! She treats our Gracie like her own and takes wonderful care of our home. Eva is reliable, trustworthy and always keeps us updated with pics and messages. I they recommend Eva for all dogs from seniors to puppies!!”
“Justin stayed with our two pups, housesitting for us for almost a week. He was simply amazing with the pups, communication and managing the house. He is reliable and trustworthy and will be our first call the next time we need a pet/house sitter.”
“Abby was amazing! We have a senior dog who is not typically comfortable around new people, and he was able to warm up to Abby during her stay and seemed very happy when we got home. She also sent some many pictures of our dog and took amazing care of our home which we are so grateful for. Thank you, Abby!”
“Jennifer stayed in my home and took care of my Shar-pei Chuffy. This is the first time I've used a service to take care of my dog. She was totally reliable and kept me updated with texts and photos. She won over my standoffish boy and he fell completely in love with her. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Michael was fantastic! We have 2 large dogs, one has pretty bad anxiety, he handled him so well! He communicated, sent pictures, and really cared about taking care of our dogs! I would recommend him to anyone. He did some training with our dogs as well which helps with getting energy out, I just really appreciate how caring he was with our dogs!”
“Monica took wonderful care of our fur babies and our home while we were away for a week! We have a puppy and senior dog and Monica was great with both! She even worked on some training with our pup! She provided great communication and sent lots of pictures to reassure us our girls were doing well while we were away. If you are looking for someone you can trust to take good care of your fur babies (and your home) while you’re traveling, I highly recommend Monica. We will definitely be requesting her again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Luciana 🐾 I’ve volunteered with Heartland Animal Shelter for 2+ years and have experience fostering kittens, adult cats, hospice cats, and working with dogs of different sizes and personalities. As a pet parent to my cat Milo, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone patient, loving, and attentive. I provide: ✅ frequent photo updates ✅ playtime and enrichment ✅ medication experience ✅ calm care for shy or anxious pets ✅ reliable routines and potty breaks I work mostly from home, so your pet will receive lots of supervision and attention. I know every pet is different, and I always take time to understand their personality, routines, and comfort needs so they feel safe while you’re away ❤️ Not ready to book? Check us out on Sniffspot!

I work mostly from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do occasionally leave for short errands, workouts, or appointments (typically 1–3 hours), but I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine and comfort. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and boundaries so they feel secure and cared for. I have experience with cats of all ages, including kittens, seniors, hospice kitties, and cats needing medication. For dogs, I’ve worked with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments through Heartland Animal Shelter. I have a fenced yard for pets that enjoy brief supervised outdoor time (always safely monitored). Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I adapt to what makes them happiest.
“I’m so grateful with Stephen and Donna, can’t thank them enough in taking care of our furbabies, esp with Donna who’s very patient and really take her time to be with my very anxious cane corso. It was a big help for us leaving them in an awesome dog sitter. They’re highly recommended if you need help with your furbabies. They’re above and beyond.”
“Elizabeth house sat for us over the Holidays and we couldn't be happier! We have 1 big bouncy dog & 2 cats and all throughout our trip she sent us updates and photos so we knew our babies were doing well. The house was just as we left it and we hope Elizabeth will come house sit for us again.”

Thea was absolutely incredible while taking care of my dog, Leo, for two weeks while I was away. She went far above and beyond anything I expected from a pet sitter. From day one, I received multiple updates throughout the day along with tons of pictures and videos, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing Leo was happy, safe, and genuinely enjoying himself. Honestly, I have never seen Leo happier. It was clear he absolutely loved spending time with Thea. She took him on regular walks that he thoroughly enjoyed, gave him constant attention and affection, and treated him like he was her own dog. The level of care, patience, and love she showed was truly exceptional. What impressed me even more was how thoughtful and professional she was beyond just pet care. She organized and cleaned my home and even did laundry — things she absolutely did not need to do but did anyway simply because she cares and takes pride in what she does. Coming home to a happy dog and a spotless home was honestly amazing. Thea is easily the best pet sitter in the area and one of the most professional, reliable, and caring people I’ve worked with. She made being away from Leo completely stress-free, which is priceless for any pet owner. I would hire her again in a heartbeat for all of my future vacations and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you are looking for someone who will genuinely care for your pet as if it were their own, Thea is the perfect choice.
We’re so grateful for the wonderful care of our dogs! Our older German Shepherd developed vertigo the week before our trip and was still a bit weak and unsteady when we left. Claudia took amazing care of her, and she returned much stronger. It was such a comfort knowing our dogs were in great hands so we could fully enjoy our trip.
Had Ana watch our 2 dogs for a day and came home to sleepy happy pups! We scheduled last minute and Ana was still able to arrange a meet and greet with us and the dogs. She was great with communication and sent lots of cute photos! Would absolutely recommend her and would use her again.
Abby was more incredible than we ever could’ve imagined! She took such good care of our sweet Kobe— who can be quite stubborn at times. She was communicative and sent updates (with both pictures and videos :)) throughout the entire weekend! We are so thankful to have found her and cannot recommend her enough.
Erica is great and we highly recommend her. She has sat with our two pups twice now and we couldn't be happier. She communicates well and makes our travel much easier knowing the guys are in good hands. In fact this last trip she made arrangements for a couple extra days so we didn't need to find a second sitter. Thanks Erica!!!
Monica took wonderful care of our fur babies and our home while we were away for a week! We have a puppy and senior dog and Monica was great with both! She even worked on some training with our pup! She provided great communication and sent lots of pictures to reassure us our girls were doing well while we were away. If you are looking for someone you can trust to take good care of your fur babies (and your home) while you’re traveling, I highly recommend Monica. We will definitely be requesting her again in the future!
Gaby is amazing!! She was a last minute booking for us and she was so accommodating! Gus loves her!! She stayed at our house and left it nicely and clean! She is absolutely amazing and we definitely recommend her! She send us pictures every day and was very communicative. Gus is a puppy and has so much energy , she adjusted to his craziness and gave him all the love he needed! Will definitely book again!
