I contacted India on relatively short notice for pet sitting. She was available to come meet us and our dog before our trip. India did a wonderful job taking care of our older German Shepherd who is dealing with some skin conditions. She was very caring and followed all of the instructions that I left for medicine and wound care. We appreciate the care that she gave our girl and will definitely book with India again to take care of our dog. We also have a bearded dragon and fish that she took care of as well. Highly recommend India for pet sitting.

My dogs think Jordan is the best thing since Milk Bones. And frankly, so do I. I always have a relaxing vacation because I know I don’t have to worry about my pack or home because Jordan has it all under control. When I come home, my dogs are all happy & content & show zero signs of stress, so I know they also had a great “vacation”.

We couldn’t be more grateful for Stephanie’s incredible care of our dog, Teddy, while we were on vacation. Our travel plans changed multiple times due to weather, but Stephanie was so flexible and understanding, which made everything much less stressful for us. Not only did she look after Teddy, but she also went the extra mile by taking him to play with other Australian Shepherds, which we know he loved! It was clear that Stephanie genuinely cares about animals, and Teddy had a wonderful time with her. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!

Kristen was absolutely wonderful with my Pomeranian mix, Jasper, over Spring break. From the very beginning, she was flexible with my schedule and made the whole handoff seamless and stress-free. It was clear she genuinely cared about Jasper’s comfort and wellbeing. She was attentive, communicative, and completely dedicated to making sure he was happy and well looked after while I was away. Knowing Jasper was in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time away without a second of worry. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I will absolutely be reaching out to Kristen again and recommend her without any hesitation!

About: I am a responsible and dependable college student who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I am attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while their pets are in my care. In my own personal experience I have worked with pets ever since I was 13 and have loved animals my whole life. I have watched multiple animals at one time, administered medication, provided walks, provided cuddles/play times, and provided over night stays for the past few years. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion around, I will provide patient and loving care tailored to their needs. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am currently working a part-time internship related to my major for school. This internship only takes up 15 hours of my time during the week. I am available to play and care for your pets any time during the weekend and when I am not working. As I do not have my schedule yet, I estimate most of my time will be spent with your pets in the evening during the week and whenever we can make work! I am very flexible. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any household rules. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, so I work to maintain their normal routine and minimize stress. I also pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly with owners if I have any concerns. I treat every home and pet with respect, keeping living areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring pets remain safe at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

Juliana was a joy to work with and took thoughtful care of my home and dog! She was knowledgeable, kind, communicative, and patient with Hugo getting used to her. Upon my return, she had followed instructions thoroughly and carefully, and Hugo was well cared for and happy. And so am I! Thank you, Juliana!

Linda was awesome. Sadie was relaxed and happy while in her care. It was nice to go on vacation and know that Sadie was being well cared for. I would recommend Linda to anyone who wants their pet to stay home while they are gone. I will definitely request Linda again if we go away.

Samuel did a fantastic job watching our dog who is both quite reactive and recovering from ACL surgery. We already rebooked him for next month and highly recommend him for anyone needing peace of mind while they’re away from their fur baby.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 11. I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs! I took animal science in high school for two years which included dog grooming two days out of the week and also learning about all animals in general. I worked at Hayfield Animal Hospital as a Kennel Assistant when I was in high school as well. This required walking and feeding dogs on a day to day basis. Through my junior year of high school through college, I was a summer camp counselor for a Horse riding stables. This included taking care of 30+ horses every morning and night during the week. I have been riding horses for 20 years now and have an equine minor. I have lots of experience with dogs and cats! I currently have two dogs of my own that I love very much. I have grown up with cats and until recently have always had one or two in my life. I currently work full-time from home. I work from 8 to 5 but can sit before then, during lunch, or after work. I also have time on the weekends to sit as well. I have two dogs of my own at home, so I cannot do in-home sitting currently. I will take great care of your pups/cats at your own home and follow any instructions given!

I highly recommend Kathleen for anyone looking for in home or not care. Kathleen allowed us to take a wonderful holiday vacation knowing our 16 year old boy with Kidney issues would be well loved and cared for as she sent pictures daily and was always available for a checkin. Kathleen also took care of our home and eneded her stay as if she had never lived their for 10 days. Just amazing! We were pleased more than we ever thought we would be. Highly recommend this wonderful gal who we did just meet as she came 3 times prior to my trip to ease my nerves. Real gem and she and her family are great with animals. Katu was comfortable right away, which is unusual. Thank you Kathleen. You are our sitter for Katu! Happy New Year! Loved your family Christmas card! Thank you so much!

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a Blue Great Dane named Diesel. He is great with other dogs, and we will have to do a meet and great to make sure you’re pup will get along with him also. I’m usually available unless the wife has me doing something. I spend every min I can with my dog and will show your dog the same treatment. My yard is unfenced for now, but it is 2 acres that’s at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We have plenty of room to play and go on walks.

About: I am detail oriented, professional, and reliable. I provide personalized, attentive pet care—never a one-size-fits-all approach. Every animal has their own personality and needs, so I tailor their routine to what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. You can expect regular updates, photos, and check-ins (unless you prefer otherwise) so you always feel connected and reassured while you're away. I currently work on base, therefore, I am primarily available evenings and weekends, with some flexibility depending on your pet’s schedule. With enough notice, I can often adjust my availability when needed, but usually work 7-4. I follow all owner instructions closely, whether it’s walk schedules, fenced-yard playtime, crate routines, furniture rules, or how your pet is to be left when I’m out. Your pet’s wellbeing and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

Elizabeth was attentive to Daisy's needs per the 'care & feeding' instructions we provided. Just as importantly, she treated Daisy as if her own, which was apparent by Daisy snoozling on Betsy's luggage as she prepared to leave.

About: Hi. Something short about me is that I used to have an american pit when I grew up. I trained her with her responding both to verbal commands and hand gestures. I also have trained and taken care of cats while i was in college. I currently help take care of a mastiff thats approximately 150 lbs so i dont shy from big breeds either. Im looking to get some extra cash on the side to surprise the girlfriend. I can check on the pets throughout the day, play, jog, and chill whenever needed. Ive worked with ones scared and others that cant stop jumping. I dont plan to home or host a pet at the moment, but, I do have a large room that can be used to care for them. I would have to take them for walks as I do not have a fenced in yard
