“Amanda was so incredible! She was responsive and took the best care of our pups! Amanda was kind and helped take care of the house while we were away by bringing in the mail without asking and also taking the time to ensure things were left better than she found it. THANK YOU, Amanda! It is such a joy to work with you and I cannot recommend her enough! I 100% will book with Amanda again! (:”
“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”
“Garrett stayed with our Malti-Poo Daisy for 3 days and was amazing. Great with her and also took great care of our home. Plus, he was great with communication. We will definitely use him again!”
“An absolute pleasure to work with. Elaina did a fantastic job taking care of our dog and sent us pictures throughout the day. She also left our home very clean. I highly recommend and will use in the future.”
About: I had two dogs growing up so I have been around them my whole life. I currently have a golden retriever that lives with me as well. I have dog-sat a basset hound since he was a puppy as well as a miniature dachshund and helped train them. I have a lot of patience so puppies are no issue! I also love getting my steps in so long walks are okay with me! I am okay with going to your residence or bringing your dog to mine as long as they are friendly! (There are good trails to walk where I live and I have a private dog park as well) I am currently on summer break from college so I am around every day other than a vacation I have planned. When school starts back up at the end of August my schedule will be a little less open. I have a golden retriever that gets along with other animals very well!! I am very respectful of others homes and will make sure to follow all instructions given.
“Mina house/dog sat for me for the first time last week and was just terrific. My pups seemed so comfortable, Mina sent me loads of pix and was super responsive to me if I needed to reach her. I came home to a clean and tidy house and two happy pups, couldn't ask for more! Thanks Mina and hope to work with you again soon!”
“Tifawni took excellent care of our brood (2 dogs and 2 cats) and was professional and reliable. She was a life saver after our original pet sitter fell through quite last minute. She loved on our pets, was amazing with our anxious dog, and left our house spotless. Book her, she’s incredible!”
About: I love the babies and the old folks yelling, "Get offa my lawn!" I care for puppies who are at least partially housebroken (tell me your style, and I can adapt to it). I care for seniors who need medicine and/or mobility equipment. I care for all the dogs in-between. I have cared for dogs with skin allergies and skittish dogs who are terrified of storms. I will help your dog feel right at home everywhere we go. I go to college online, part-time, so your schedule is my schedule. I am free whenever you need me, generally within one day's notice. If you need me to housesit, as long you have wi-fi, I am good to go. I live in a townhouse, and I have a cat, so I can only doggy daycare small-to-medium dogs, but we can take walks all day long, if your pup wants! At your home, your rules are my rules. I will follow whatever reasonable instructions you have for your pets. (I can also water your plants and feed your fish/birds/small mammals/reptiles.)
“Ryan took great care of our 4 large dogs and 2 cats while we were away on vacation. He sent us lots of photo updates and our animals got lots of snuggle time while we were gone.”
“Corey was an amazing sitter for my dog mylo! I had to leave for a trip with short notice, Corey met me and mylo and was very flexible, great communication and took great care of my place. I had no worries or issues leaving my dog with him. I will definitely be using Corey again and recommend him to anyone needing a dog sitter! I will be back to book him!”
About: Hi, I’m Alex. I’ve got years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in homes and out on walks—everything from laid-back seniors to high-energy breeds. I’ve helped with boarding, daily visits, and routine walks, always making sure pets feel safe, understood, and cared for. I’m comfortable giving medications (including pilling by hand), and I’m good at reading animal body language to meet their needs calmly. I also have a great network to consult if something unexpected comes up. Your pet will get the same care and attention I give my own. I have an open schedule right now, and the only times I need to be at my regular job is in the evening a few days a week (which is nearby). I prioritize a safe, trusting environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs, whether in my home or theirs. My approach adapts to the service requested, always ensuring comfort, security, and attentive care. A pet’s well-being is my top priority.
About: Hi Pet Parents! I’m just a girl who loves her pets. I grew up with rescue dogs and continue to adopt rescue pups to this day! Currently, we own a boxer-pit and a bearded dragon. As for your furry family members, I understand that life happens and we can’t bring our pals everywhere with us. I also understand feeling a little anxious about doing so! While I grew up with many dogs, I also have a love for cats and reptiles. I have cared for many of each species, in various ages, needs and temperaments. I am not deterred by shy or “scary”, loud or “pulls on leash”. Every pet is unique and it’s our job to adjust and provide them spaces in which they can succeed. I have administered various medications to dogs, cats, reptiles and rodents. I am available for drop-ins, walks and overnights in your home. On weekdays I work 9-5 so try to schedule drop ins before/after these time frames. I promise to treat your pet like my own, care for them with the best of my ability and provide them love, safety and comfort while you are away. I am full time but typically work 9-5 on most of my days. My weekday availability is most open and I am able to visit in the mornings and evenings. I strongly encourage a call with each client rather than written instructions. We would go through expectations on feeding/diet, exercise and play, training, commands, enrichment and cleaning expectations. I also would ask about how to keep the pet most safe within their space when you are gone- is a crate preferred (I have experience with crate training), are certain rooms used etc.. I would then ask about walking (if a dog) and what is best (dog friendly, water to avoid overheating etc) for their personality and health.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, but life circumstances haven’t allowed me to have a pet of my own for awhile—so I put all that love, attention, and care into yours. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, long walks, or just keeping your pet’s routine steady while you’re away, I treat every furry friend like family. I am looking to fill some of my time loving on your pet. I have always loved dogs and I miss having them in my home. Flexible hours for availability. I also walk a lot and would love to have a companion! Sounds like a win win! I am looking for opportunities to care for pets outside of my home. Due to family allergies I am unable to own a pet so I am looking to love on yours.
About: I've owned my dog, Beaux, for, 2 years. Prior to that I'd dog sit my neighbors and family pets quite often. This is where my love of dogs came from. Whether it is going on walks, play time, and hanging out I will take care of your dogs as if they were my own. Additionally, I work with dogs that love to pull and help them to minimize pulling. Working with my dog to minimize those behaviors is something I've enjoyed doing. I work from home and my schedule is fairly loose throughout the day. I set aside time for my dog during the day for walks and playtime. My yard is not fenced, but there is ample space behind my house for walking and playing. There's a huge common grass area that is perfect for dogs.
“Jayla was very communicative, which is essential to feeling like you can just relax while you’re away, and the dogs loved her! She’s a top recommendation for anyone looking for overnight care.”
“My dog has anxiety and doesn’t do well being boarded. He needed someone to come stay with him in our home and that person was Tori. Tori understood his needs. In the past when I have traveled, I would come home to an upset dog. This time I arrived home and he was happy. I received so many photos and texts from Tori about how he was doing that I was able to enjoy my trip. The fact that she took such great care of him, made it easier to be away from him. Tori is AMAZING!!! I will definitely use Tori again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including my childhood dogs- Sandy, who was with us for 12 years, and Callie, a senior dog I helped care for during her later years. I’m familiar with the needs of aging pets, from administering medication to offering extra patience and comfort. I’ve also helped care for pets belonging to extended family, so I understand how important trust and communication are. I treat every dog with the same love and attention I’d give my own. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I work part time and am available on weekends, early mornings, and late evenings to meet your pet’s needs. At home, I care for my two cats, Kiara and Saul, with playtime, brushing, feeding, and fresh water. While I haven’t had pet-sitting clients yet, I want to provide the same level of love and care to other pets. I follow instructions closely and make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their environment.
About: Hello! Thanks for putting your trust in me with your pup. I've been taking care of relatives and friend's dogs all my life. I'm also the go-to pet sitter for my neighbors in the building. I don't have a dog of my own right now, so your pup(s) will get my full and undivided attention during their stay. Although I do not have a yard, we have a very large terrace just out my door for lots of free space to run and fetch and enjoy the sun undisturbed by other pets. If your pup is good socializing with other dogs, we have lots of very well behaved k9 neighbors to hang out with and a half dozen dog parks in the area. I'm an APA dog foster dad (that's the pitty in the pictures), and also regularly walk dogs at the shelter. So I have experience not just in keeping an eye on your pup, but training and enriching as well. I'm more than happy and capable to work on any particular skills or obedience training while your pup enjoys their luxurious stay with me :). I currently work from home so I am available at most times for your pickup and drop off and your dog will spend minimal time alone. As an APA foster parent I'm used to ensuring the safety of dogs in my care, in particular around other dogs. I know how to keep distance and appropriately read body language. I leave very little clutter to ensure your furry friends can't get into any mischief. Capable and willing to help address any particular special considerations with advanced notice.

Cheryl B.

I like that she will house sit with them so they can stay in a familiar environment while I am away. She will play with them inside and outside, so they are closely watched. She knows by being with the dogs, she would be able to spot any abnormal behavior and then react appropriately.”

Abigail K.
“Abigail and I were roommates for 2 years. In that time, our third roommate had a dog named Kemper (pit-bull mix). He was very loving but had challenges when it came to resource guarding and other things. Although it wasn’t her dog by purchase, Abigail went to all of the training sessions with Kemper. She also had previous experience with the same company (Sit means sit) for training with her family dog. The training program taught all of us how to set up a good learning environment for dogs. Abigail not only followed the program perfectly with Kemper inside the house, she also followed all the protocols outside the house, making sure he wasn’t barking at other dogs, making sure he stopped at every corner before crossing the streets, had him doing tricks like placing on a fire hydrant, etc. When our roommate wasn’t home, Kemper would always come up to her room to look for her and cuddle. Abigail was basically a second mom to Kemper. She is such a loving and responsible caretaker I would trust her to watch any dogs I get in the future!”
Dawn F.
“Dawn is wonderful with my special needs dog. She is very patient and loving with him and she is happy to spend time just hanging out with him until he is comfortable. She plays frisbees with him endlessly and makes sure he gets all of his favorite snacks. She is the perfect companion for him when I can't be there. Thanks Dawn!”
Michael M.
“Mike is the kind of person every dog owner hopes to find. He’s caring, reliable, and has a natural way with dogs that puts them instantly at ease. Over the years, he’s looked after my dogs many times, and I’ve always come home to happy, healthy, and relaxed pups. Mike doesn’t just check the basics off the list, he gives each dog attention, playtime, and affection, making sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away. He’s dependable, trustworthy, and someone I’d trust without hesitation to care for my dogs in any situation. If you’re looking for a dog sitter who will treat your pets like his own and give you total peace of mind, Mike is the perfect choice.”

She’s incredibly reliable & punctual and has a calm, reassuring presence that pets immediately respond to. I’ve seen firsthand how well she handles both routine care and unexpected situations, always putting the animal's well-being first. Any pet would be lucky to have her looking after them.”
Brad P.
“The best word I can think of to describe Brad when it comes to dogs is devoted. He is so devoted to every dog in his care, whether for one day or for weeks or months. He loves to work with them on walking, manners, tricks, and anything he can think of. He enjoys the companionship and I am certain every dog enjoys his companionship, constant devotion, and endless attention. He is the most loyal and loving dog caregiver. Any dog would be lucky to spend time with him and any dog owner should feel completely confident and comfortable that their fur baby is in wonderful hands while with Brad.”
