Avery did a house sit with our two dogs over a long weekend and took great care of our dogs and home! She sent us daily updates and photos and was always responsive when we checked in.

Claire was amazing with our two (somewhat high-maintenance) French Bulldogs, one of which is still a puppy. She cared for them and our home and sent us several updates and pictures each day. We’ll definitely be having her dog sit again!

Jen was a wonderful dog sitter for our dog Rafiki! She has excellent communication, kept us updated frequently, and genuinely enjoyed her time with our special little guy! We found out Rafiki had an ear infection right before we left and Jen was so gracious as to administer his medicine. We will definitely be working with Jen in the future!!

Sam was fantastic with my little old lady Tiffany. Due to an eye injury, Tiffany couldn’t be left home alone and I was very worried about working. Sam was able to stay with her all day while I was at work, navigated the cone and medicine schedule with ease, kept me informed on what Tiffany was up to and how she was feeling, and just generally took excellent care of her. Tiffany is very stubborn and reactive, Sam managed this really well. I felt no stress at all having to leave my sick dog at home because she was in such great hands. Tiffany was relaxed and happy each day when I got home. 10/10 recommend Sam!!

Yasmin went above and beyond and took my kitten Sir Snuggles to the vet when he was not feeling well (with my approval) when I was on travel abroad. She even got the vet on the phone at the appointment to talk to me. She was fantastic - and Snuggs is all better now thanks to her help.

About: I've pet/house sat for multiple people in the past. Animals include dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I like to have a meet and greet before ever staying with your pets alone. If you have any special diets or quirks make sure we discuss them in advance! I don't mind staying for a few hours to watch your animals or just drop in, whatever is needed! I have a nighttime job so, your animals will need to be able to be alone at night a few days of the week! I will discuss meal plan, how often you walk them/let them outside, and if they have meds with you prior to caring for your animals.

Elliana did a great job with our 5 month old golden. She was very responsive and sent pics throughout her stay with him. I was so worried about how he’d do his first time away from us and was quickly at ease once I saw all the cuddle pics. Will definitely book with Elliana again!

Allison was AWESOME!!! She took excellent care of our babies. Our house was clean and tidy when we returned home. She communicated often and asked great questions to make sure she was the right things for our babies. She was also very flexible as our leave and return times were not definite. I would highly recommend her!

About: I've been caring for pets since I was at least 12! I've had cats & dogs mostly, but I love animals! Experienced with treating health conditions in dogs & am very willing to learn! I'm known for my track record of being dependable & never canceling work unless absolutely necessary! I am not currently working full time, so I am available 24/7 as of right now! I am ready to work as soon as possible! 😊 I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and needs. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking a walk, or staying overnight, I prioritize safety, consistency, and plenty of attention. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping owners updated with regular messages and photos. You can count on me to follow instructions carefully, respect your home, and provide a calm, caring environment while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes small to extra large as well as cats and even some exotic pets. I have been the go to sitter for my friends and family every time they go on vacation. I love caring for animals and can’t wait to help you with yours. I am experienced with animals- puppies to elderly dogs, kittens to elderly cats. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule and can work with what you need. I mostly have open afternoons and Friday through the weekend. While I’m taking care of your pet I will do all I can to assure they are taken care of physically as well as emotionally offering love, play and exercise, whatever it is they need that day. Every pet is different and I will work with you to ensure they are getting what they need from me, walks, pets or play.

About: Pediatric nurse and life long dog lover! I’m here to make your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. Let’s keep your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away! As a nurse my schedule varies week to week but I typically know weeks in advance. On my days off I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and whatever other needs your furry friend may have. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or bedtime habits. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment while keeping owners updated with photos and messages!

About: Growing up, my family didn’t have pets, so I love my friends and family’s pets like they are my own! I am intentional and ask questions when learning from owners how to best interact with their pet(s). I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats, up to two of each at the same time. I prioritize playtime and being active with any pet I’m responsible for. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and can adapt my skills and schedule based on their unique needs. My schedule is extremely flexible as I continue the job search post graduate school. I am able to support pet owners with short-term drop ins, frequent walks for high energy pets, and extended stays. I am available to care for pets in their own home. I aim to ease any stress by keeping their environment familiar and maintaining their usual schedule as much as possible.

Sam went above and beyond for Hazel, my high-anxiety dog. I received so many great pics and check-ins and knew she was well-cared for, and tired when I got back. I can't recommend her enough!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals-dogs, cats, and everything in between, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. From pet sitting for neighbors as a kid to loving on my own furry family members, animals have been a constant in my life. I know pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. That’s why I treat every dog or cat in my care with the same love, attention, and patience I give my own. As a stay at home mom with my kids in school full time, I have plenty of free time during the weekdays to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m home and available most mornings, afternoons, and early evenings, which makes scheduling walks, drop ins, or daytime care easy and flexible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I only care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and everything smells familiar! I always follow your instructions closely- from feeding routines to favorite toys and I keep your pet’s safety and well being my top priority. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress free while you’re away.
