Kristine was absolutely wonderful with my fur babies. Leaving them for two weeks was stressful, but she immediately put me at ease by sending daily photos and thoughtful updates. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave them and would highly recommend Kristine to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.

Charlie is amazing!! He took great care of our dog Kira, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and given lots of attention. He was attentive to her needs, especially given her sensitive stomach, and kept us updated with regular check-ins. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend! Let me know if you want any tweaks!

About: I have 20+ years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from brand-new puppies to beloved seniors who need extra support. I’m reliable, patient, and very detail-oriented, and I always follow your routines exactly to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also have puppy training experience, so I can help reinforce the cues and habits you’re already working on—perfect for keeping your training consistent. For senior dogs, I offer gentle, attentive care, whether they need medication reminders, slower walks, or just a calm presence throughout the day. What sets me apart is the way I tailor every visit to each dog and each household. No two dogs are the same, and I pay close attention to their personality, energy level, and comfort needs. Whether your dog thrives on structured play, needs quiet companionship, or prefers a predictable routine, I adjust my approach to match what works best for them—and for you. You can count on clear communication, reliability, and genuine care. Your dog stays safe, relaxed, and understood. You stay updated and worry-free. Pet care is my full-time profession, so my entire day is structured around giving each pet the attention they deserve. I don’t overbook or cram visits together—I intentionally keep my schedule flexible so I can stay reliable, punctual, and fully present with every animal I care for. Spacing out visits allows me to maintain a calm, stress-free routine and gives me room to handle any unexpected needs that might come up, such as extra cleanup, weather changes, mobility issues, or a pet who needs a little more time and reassurance that day. Your pet never feels rushed, and you never have to worry about me balancing other jobs or squeezing you in. This is what I do, all day, every day. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I care for pets in their own home because that’s where they feel most secure, confident, and relaxed. I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, walks, medications, training cues, preferred routes, and house rules—so everything stays familiar and predictable for your pet. I pay close attention to details like behavior changes, energy levels, appetite, and overall mood, and I communicate anything I notice. I’m extremely reliable, gentle, and respectful of your home, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always handled carefully. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe and understood, and you feel completely confident trusting me in your home.

About: Loyalty, trust, safety & the love for all types of animals are the key to a working pet environment. I fondly believe that a pet isn’t just a pet, but a part of the family. Luckily, I have been around dogs all my life and have been responsible for them for about 22 years. I have experience walking, sitting, along with some training. Walks with me aren’t just about potty breaks. It’s your pup’s time to get out & live life...just like us! It’s the time to work out all that built up energy and a time to be social. Belly rubs included! I currently work as a freelance hair colorist. My schedule is very flexible. I can offer drop in visits, walks, and extended stays whenever needed. My schedule is flexible, so 1 can easily fit walks, visits, or boarding into my day. I adjust to your dog's routine, making sure their normal timing, habits, and comfort stay in place. Your dog will have a safe, private environment with no unfamiliar dogs. I only board multiple dogs if they’re from the same family, so your pet’s space stays calm, consistent, and low-stress. My home stays clean, comfortable, and focused on your dog’s routine without the chaos of large group boarding.

We are happy and satisfied with the three days that Keka has been house-sitting our pawlove Hazel. Sure they had quality time playing around the house and outside during their walk. On top of that she got to provide Hazel with some Training that she needed. We appreciate so much the time she spent with our Hazel. We will surely recommend her to our other paw parent friends and surely it won't be the last for Keka & Hazel.

Anita is simply the best! Since the first time she house sat and took care of my Missy, she has been my number one go to! The level of care she takes to bond with my dog, Missy is way above and beyond what I would ever expect, but it comes so natural for her. I think this is probably the fifth time she’s watched my Missy and she will continue to be my first choice. Plus Missy absolutely loves her!

Salette was fantastic with our dog, Nox and I would highly recommend her. Our dog can be very skittish and exhibits herding behaviors, but Salette read our dog’s behavior the minute she walked in. Nox also has to take medications for her allergies, Salette followed her regimen very well and we noticed that Nox’s skin was in really good condition when we returned from our trip. Salette also had excellent communication while we were away, making my husband and I feel confident that there were no issues while we were away. Our place looked just like we left it, making our return even easier.

Kristine is the most caring, kind, and genuinely incredible person we have ever met on this app. The way she takes care of our puppies is truly amazing and she goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy and that my husband and I have nothing to worry about! She updates with photos all day, texts how they are doing and what they are doing, and answers her phone the second we text her. It is so obvious how much she adores animals, and our puppies adore her. We are so lucky to have found Kristine! Would recommend to anyone, and already booked her to watch our puppies many more times after her first visit. What a wonderful person!!!! We are blown away!

My husband and I just came home with 2 puppies and were worried for our first day back to work. Michael made sure we had nothing to worry about. He texted us all day, sent photos, updates, provided above and beyond care to our puppies and is the most caring and kind person. We are so thankful we found Michael and are so lucky to have such a wonderful person to watch our pups with full care and attention for our 10 hour work days. He makes sure our puppies are safe and loved and we would recommend him to anyone needing excellent dog care.

Julia may have been better with my animals than I am. She stayed with them for a week and didn’t have any problems. My 18 year old dog has senior issues and Julia was able to make him comfortable enough to eat while we were away. He also had no accidents in the house while in her care. Julia kept in contact with us the entire week. I have the utmost confidence that she would care for your animals in the same Loving way she did for ours.

Taina watched our dog for 10 days while we were on vacation and she was great! Our dog generally doesn’t open up to anyone quickly and always barks at strangers, but she let Taina pet her belly the very first time they met which was such a pleasant suprise lol. She was great with our dog and kept updating us on the latest with her. We’d hire Taina for our dog again!
