“Sydney was an amazing sitter!! Our dogs are quite difficult to deal with and Sydney took it all in stride. Our smallest dog even escaped our yard (totally not Sydney's fault, he is just a difficult dog) and Sydney stayed on the phone with us until he was safely home. I highly recommend Sydney!”

“Katie did a fantastic job house/pet sitting for us while we were away for a long weekend. Katie is very knowledgeable and was great with our Cat and Greyhound We already have her booked for our next trip!”
“Jennifer was fantastic and my corgis loved their time with her! She was extremely communicative and kept me up to date with texts and photos the entire time. I highly recommend using her services! I’ll definitely be a repeat client!”

About: I’ve always been the person that catches the un-catchable runaway. Animals naturally warm up to me almost immediately. Family friends and neighbors always contact me for loving care of their fur babies I am retired from ups and am available for almost anytime to help you provide the most loving care for your pet while you’re away. I currently do not offer this service as I’m not set up for other pets at my home. I have a rescued English Bulldog that was extremely abused and has socialization issues at the moment.
“Emmaline was super responsive and clear during her stay. Our dogs took to her quickly and she left our house cleaner than when she arrived. Will definitely be booking Emmaline before our next trip!”

About: I have had dogs for over 20 years. I have a new puppy Myself. I know what it’s like when I leave home and I’m worried about her. I can help. I am currently unemployed and have plenty of time to fit into a schedule and love on any animal that needs some assistance. I like to take walks. I like to play give treats. I can always come to you my apartment doesn’t have a fenced in yard but I would enjoy going outside throwing the ball throwing toys in your own backyard. We’re just going for a walk.
“Tonia took great care of our very anxious dog, Jack. She agreed to watch him for a last-minute trip we took, and he warmed up to her right away, which is unusual for him! She was so kind and sent us many pictures and updates while we were gone. I will absolutely ask her to help us out again!”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. As a teenager I started to be more involved in the maintenance, feeding, and general care that a dog needs. I have experience with senior dogs, such as needing a diaper or medications daily. I understand the importance of patience when introducing yourself to new dogs, as well as the stress a new visitor might cause. My goal is to make the experience and comfortable as possible for your dog! This is my top priority, and I would love to help people out and make some new furry friends along the way! I am very flexible, and understand life and plans can change quick. Please don't hesitate to reach out, I am willing to work with you! In my home, my cats are able to go wherever they'd like, and we have a couple gates keeping the dogs out of certain spaces when we are not home. We have a few pee pads out for them to use if we will be gone a long time, and a bowl of dry food out all the time. They have multiple water bowls (one filtered) and get fed a homemade food once daily. I have had my fair share of having to clean up accidents in the house, because, accidents happen! I want to help you come home to a clean house and calm dogs! I am absolutely not opposed to anything needing to be done for maintenance, such as litter box cleanings or a wash after playing in the mud.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8 years old. I have 4 dogs and 2 cats right now, 4/5 of my pets are rescued animals. Two of my dogs have been to obedience classes and get along well with other animals. The other two are still a puppies. I’m very active and love walking and running the dogs on a daily basis. I currently work full time however work from home at my convenience. I am flexible for the most part and will work around your schedule and needs. I have a fenced in yard and live on over 5 acres. I enjoy walking and/or running with the dogs. My husband and my son love animals and will give them so much love and attention.
“Julie did a great job caring for our dogs! She sent lots of picture updates and was a quick communicator. Julie was able to be at our home with the dogs the majority of each day to keep them company. She gave them new toys and spent a lot of time with them playing outside!”

“Best dog sitter we have had to date. Christina was amazing from the get go. Kept us up to date and made sure our 3 dogs were well loved and taken care of while we were on vacation. Would recommend her to any and everyone!”

“Ben did a great job again!!!!! Had a few surprise deliveries that I wasn’t expecting and he was great help with those. And the shy kitty ended up purring on his lap. That says it all.”

About: My husband Jeff and I have 2 dogs and no kids. Our dogs are our kids! Our dogs are about 2 years old and get along well with other dogs. Both of us grew up with dogs and have had dogs that are both young and senior. We give our dogs lots of time and attention. We are responsible pet owners and believe in keeping them healthy, loved, safe, and part of our pack! I am retired and my husband works part-time so one of us is almost always home to care for your pet(s). If we are gone for a few hours, our dogs are caged in the house. Usually, it is if we go out for dinner or the store, so it's for short periods. If your dog does not do caging, that's ok as long as they are good! We have a large fenced yard. Our 6 foot privacy fence also has wire mesh at the bottom of the fence to make sure dogs are safe and can't get out (or other animals get in). Our dogs are about 3 years old and get along well with other dogs. They love to play and are free to move in the house and the yard, and they get regular walks. Dogs are allowed on furniture. We would love to be your pet sitter while you are away, and you can be confident your doggie will be happy, safe and loved!
“Maci is wonderful! I had her watch two dogs (50 and 80 pounds), one who needed medication and the other who just needed extra attention haha. She took great care of the dogs and my house for a 10 day trip. The house was super clean when we got back and the dog happy! I’ve also had her do drop ins before this trip, in which she was also great!”

“Julie is a gem! She related well to our dog and presented herself well to us. She kept us up to date with texts and pictures. She kept the house clean. She followed all the directions for administering meds and feeding on schedule. I would recommend her without hesitation!”

“Kaiden did great with our Roxie (Boxer Tween) She is very selective and warmed upto him very fast. He stayed in our home and did a good job caring for that too. We have winter travels approaching and our looking forward to Kaiden's services again. Knowing our pup and home our in good hands with him will bring us peace of mind..... again. We highly recommend booking Kaiden!”

About: I’ve had pets growing up, mostly cats, but I had dogs and we trained them and took really good care of them. I took care of feeding them, my brother walked them and my mom cleaned. I’m currently working part-time and looking for a side hustle and some fun time with some amazing animals! I love animals and understand the struggles of everyday trying to make sure you get home to take care of them. With my dog, I feed him, my brother walks him and my mom cleans him. It is more of a team effort, although I can do all 3.
“Tarah is amazing. She cared for our fur baby during the 4th weekend and Miss. Remi gets very anxious with loud sounds but Tarah went above and beyond to keep her comfortable. When we first met Tarah she was very personable and Remi went straight to her. She has excellent communication skills while keeping your pet. We highly recommend Tarah. We will definitely ask her to keep Remi again.”

About: First of all, I am a High School Special Education teacher off for the summers and holidays! I am trustworthy, safe, and have been fingerprinted (lol). I have never seen a puppy I didn't love!! At our house, our puppies are one of the family. They do almost everything with us!! I feel so guilty when I have to leave them for work each day! We used to have horses and mini ponies, guinea pigs and we still have a fish. I currently have two Shi-Tzu's. One is 6 years old, and the other is 10 months. My best buddy of 15 years just passed away on Thanksgiving. He was a Shepherd Chow mix. I miss him so much. All of my dogs were\are patients at the Banfield pet care inside of Pets mart. I have them on the pet insurance\ care plan. My older shi-tzu likes to ride on Golf carts, and in the baby carrier on my bike. She also likes to swing on the baby swing at the park
About: I am reliable by nature and have somewhere around 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician; therefore I have extensive experience with dogs and cats of all breeds and temperaments. I am still in the veterinary field, but now I work remotely full-time, which means I am able to make sure my dogs get their daily exercise. I always aim to keep my clients’ pets as comfortable as possible (whatever that means to them) during my time with them as I know it can be stressful for both you and your pet when you’re away from home. I always aim to keep owners as updated as they would like to be.
