Anana was brilliant. She sent goofy pics of our little orange boy. There was an issue with our door and she worked with us to work through it. She communicated well and is very reliable. Thank you so much Anana!

About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up caring for them by feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and giving them lots of love and attention. I also worked with children for 7 years, which helped me develop strong responsibility, communication skills, patience, and the ability to stay calm and caring in different situations. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine because I’m available throughout the day and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m flexible with walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention and care. My schedule is open during the day until 3. Unfortunately if no response from pet owners ahead of walk etc I will not walk dog. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well attended to at all times. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely by providing walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, attention, and any specific instructions requested by the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of companionship and exercise while keeping their environment clean, calm, and stress free.

About: I’m a patient, attentive pet sitter with a calm approach, who respects boundaries and wants the best experience for both you and your pet. I have cared for dogs my whole life and cats for about 5 years. Also I have done a year of walking on WAG! I treat every furry friend as if it were my own! I have open availability weekdays and weekends for requests. I use public transit, biking, or walking as transportation so can get to places relatively quick. I believe that animals are a blessing to us and only deserve the most of our appreciation. When you are away I will assure your furry friend has everything they desire.

About: My family always had a dog growing up, so im very familiar with them. Then, after I moved out I got cats of my own, and learned how to take care of them too! Im at teacher, so im typically available nights and weekends. I'd be able to come over and provide whatever necessary services after school and on weekends I make sure I respect the pet's boundaries. I never pet a cat or dog first unless I know it's okay and they feel comfortable with it! I've watched dogs and cats at my apartment before, and we always make sure the pets feel safe

Karli was great! ! Karli gave me a very detailed update and very detailed pictures of each cat. I appreciate how many pictures Karli took, it made me feel comfortable knowing my cats are out and safe! Karli was extremely responsive and flexible, and Karli helped us out last minute. Karli scooped my liter, fed my cats wet food, played laser, and plugged my camera in as a favor. I would highly recommend Karli to watch anyone’s pets

Parisa was an absolute angel. Our beloved pet rabbit became sick while we were out of town, and she immediately stepped in to provide emergency care without hesitation. Her compassion, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals truly saved our little one’s life. We are forever grateful for what she did. she went above and beyond in every way imaginable. It’s rare to find someone as kind and dedicated as Parisa, and we can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She’s simply amazing

Chris is attentive and gentle with my older cat Elika, and has been a reliable drop-in visitor for me across numerous week-long trips over the past two years. Chris readily adapts to changing circumstances, and always gets in touch if something unexpected happens with Elika. Receiving his photos from visits is reassuring. He spends time with her playing, petting and combing. I always feel confident when Chris is watching Elika. Highly recommended!

About: I’ve been a pet lover my entire life (almost 40 years!). Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats, and we even had a pig for nine years (yes, in the city!)! I also managed to talk my parents into letting me have hamsters, gerbils, rabbits, and Guinea pigs. As an adult, I continue to be a pet mom to dogs, cats, and chinchillas. If it has fur, I’m loving it! Pet care is genuinely enjoyable for me—everything from little check ins, a nice walk, or evening cuddles, caring for animals brings me a lot of peace and joy. I do my best to plan my schedule around their needs, so they can receive consistent and loving attention. I ensure safety in my clients home from the starting point of the meet and greet. From that very first meeting, I start learning the ways in which your pet feels safest, and how to care for them best. I treat your space and pets with the same respect and care I’d want for my own, taking time to learn preferences and any special instructions that would make your pets feel the safest and most comfortable possible. I double check doors, gates, and leashes and keep a close eye on behaviors and well being, while sending updates and pictures so my client feels reassured that their pet babies are in good hands.

About: Animals have been a part of my life from the very beginning. Growing up with pets of all kinds, I’ve cared for them through every stage— from playful babies to their golden years. With a grandfather who was a veterinarian, I learned firsthand how to provide competent, thoughtful care. More importantly, I believe that animals communicate their needs, and I pride myself on listening to and understanding them. Whether it’s companionship, care, or just a little extra love, I’m here to support your pets like my own. I make my own schedule and can care for pets on any schedule that best suits their needs. I care for my own two dogs every day, the more the merrier. I provide a structured yet flexible routine for my dogs. They eat freely, are only crated at night, and go on three daily walks. Since I don’t have a yard, I take them on long walks or to the park for exercise and enrichment. Obedience training is a regular part of our routine, keeping them mentally and physically engaged.

Yara went above and beyond with her care of our cats. She always provides exemplary care (and updates/photos) but this time we are so relieved she takes such good care of our cats. One of our cats had an eye infection within the first few days of our trip. She took our cat to the vet early in the morning and gave the cat her medicine during the rest of our trip. We are so grateful!

Jessica was an amazing cat sitter for my recent week long vacation! My cat is generally shy around new guests but immediately wanted pets from Jessica. She has great communication skills and replied to my messages very quickly, which I value. Her visits were always within the agreed upon timeframe, which helped me fully relax and enjoy my vacation. She provided detailed updates with lots of photos. I trust her and plan to book with her next time I'm away.
