10. Jake G.
About: I have had my own dogs for over 10 years. I am experienced with scared and reactive rescues, as well as care free couch potatoes. My priority is learning about a dog and a the “whys” behind their behavior to help understand them. I treat every animal I meet just as they are my own family member ! I am currently working part time, I have plenty of time to care for your pets. My schedule is very flexible and I can work it around your pet’s! I have two dogs at home currently but my schedule is very flexible. I take them all over to the parks in the city and would love to do the same with yours !


11. Catarina S.

13. Stefanie D.
About: Hi there! Growing up, I had many rodents ranging from hamsters, gerbils, and rats. Although I love rodents, I absolutely adore smaller and medium dogs. 3 years ago I met my boyfriend’s chihuahua, Lux, and I instantly fell in love with her. She is truly my furry best friend who I spend quite a lot of time with! Since then, I’ve learned how to take care of smaller and medium dogs through my boyfriend and previous roommates I’ve lived with who needed help taking care of them. I love taking daily, frequent walks, playing fetch or tag in the yard, and having a nice snuggle when I wake up in the morning or at the end of the night. My last roommate adopted a puppy who I helped trained for almost a year and a half so I have some experience with clicker, treat, positive reinforcement, crate, and potty training. I have more experience with smaller & medium dogs (40 pounds and under), but I’m always open to experiencing and learning new things! I look forward to meeting your furry companion and treating him/her with the same compassion and kindness I do with Lux! :) I’m currently working part time on the weekends, so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets during the weekdays! Whether you need me night or day, I’ll be available for you! In my own home, I have a loving chihuahua who is only 6 pounds so I keep my eye on her as much as I can. I don’t have a fenced backyard but if a fence is needed, there is a dog park near my house that is fenced with little to no foot traffic and the nature walks are so beautiful there! My backyard is also super spacious so I could also take them for a leashed walk around the backyard if not leash resistant. Also, I’ll make sure your furry friend gets as many potty breaks and exercise as possible!




14. Jaime B.


“Jamie is great! Whenever I have to leave my fur baby, knowing she is caring for him puts my mind at ease. She is a responsible and loving sitter and her daily updates are so considerant when I'm missing my cat Casanova.”


15. Taylor F.
About: I have been working in the veterinary field for 5 years and I’ve been dog sitting for 6 years. I have also worked for a doggy daycare for over a year. I absolutely love caring for pets whether that’s dogs and cats or exotics. I’m available almost all weekends. I do work full time but can stop by over lunch on the days I work, if needed. I am pretty flexible so I will always make time for the pets I’m watching. At your home, I can feed, medicate, walk, bathe and trim nails, clean ears, and express anal glands (if your pet allows). I will follow any instructions you provide and can send pictures with updates!!


16. Leslie P.
“Leslie was a great pet sitter! She communicated with us everyday, she sent pictures as well. She even made homemade dog treats for my pup. We will definitely be booking Leslie again.”


17. April L.
“I have had the pleasure of knowing April for quite some time, and I can confidently say that she is one of the most caring and responsible people I know. Her love for animals is truly heartwarming, and she goes out of her way to ensure they are well cared for. Not only is she dedicated to helping animals, but she also has a passion for running, which reflects her determination and commitment. April’s kindness and work ethic make her a truly exceptional person, and I feel lucky to know her”


18. Alexis B.


“Alexis was professional, dependable and immediately hit it off with our pup. Communications with her were excellent; prompt, clear and thoughtful!”


19. Cheyenne L.

“Cheyenne was amazing. She kept us informed all weekend about our boy Finley. She sent pictures and updates with every visit. She was on time and completely responsible for Finn's needs. Finley can't wait to see her again. I would highly recommend her.”


20. Samantha C.

“Samantha was a wonderful sitter for our two rescue cats who are very skittish. She sent numerous photos every day which really put our minds at ease while we were away. She followed the care instructions perfectly and responded quickly for every step communicated. We will defintely have Samantha back!”
