“Lily was fantastic. My old girl (16!) is sweet and she took to her so quickly and when I came home she wasn’t anxious at all. Lily took the time to make a special connection with my Winnie and the photos and updates were so spot on — I could see Winnie was having a great time with her new human.”
“Lydia was very punctual, organized, prepared, and friendly! She was very easy to talk to, and my pets liked her right away. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her for an overnight stay. She sent me photos, videos and kept me updated. Would absolutely book with her again.”
“PHENOMENAL! It warms my heart to know this duo truly has a heart and ability to care for dogs. Their attention to detail and care put into making my rescue comfortable around and trusting of them is evident. Hailey and Destini work so well together, and I can't say enough good things about them! 5/5 stars. Would recommend!”
“Sarah did a great job looking after our three dogs! She was really good at communicating with us and giving us updates daily. We will definitely use the service again. Thank you, Sarah for a worry-free vacation!”
“Sommer was very dependable and detail oriented which was important to me! She also provided excellent communication and quick response time when communicating!! My cat is usually depressed, stressed, and distances himself from us when we return from vacationing. It usually takes him several days to warm back up to us but he was not that way at all this time!! I would give Sommer 10 stars if it was an option.”
“Virginia was awesome. We booked her on short notice due to a death in the family and she was happy to do it. She sent us great pictures and updates a couple times per. She treated our dogs like they were her own and we came back to happy dogs. We are very grateful to her and appreciate all that she did. She will be the one person we go to for our fur babies from this point forward.”
“I needed an emergency sitter for my cat and I messaged Devyn. She was able to come to my apartment and sit with my cat twice a day. My cat absolutely loved her. Will definitely be requesting her again!”
About: I treat every pet like my own — with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, so I understand how to tailor my care to different life stages. Whether it’s keeping up with potty training, administering medication, or just providing a calm and comforting environment, I’m here to make your pet feel safe and happy while you're away. I also prioritize communication, so you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind. My goal is to build lasting trust — with both you and your pet. I currently work for a CPA firm, but my schedule is very flexible — especially in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. That means I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it's going for a walk, spending time playing, or just offering some calm company, I love incorporating pet care into my day. It’s the best kind of break from my work! Although I don’t currently have pets of my own, I regularly care for and play with my friends’ animals. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, given plenty of attention and exercise, and that their specific needs are met — whether that’s extra cuddles, bathroom breaks, or following any special instructions. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine and environment to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet with the same love and respect I would want for my own.
About: I am a lover of all animals & have grown up with them my whole life. I started pet-sitting for friends and family when I was 10. I am comfortable with all breeds, and all your pet needs including medications, puppies, seniors, walking, etc. I am happy to give your pet all the snuggles or wear them out with lots of play! I have a very flexible schedule and availability will depend on the day / week. I am open Monday - Sunday. Depending on when you need me, I am happy to make my schedule revolve around your pet. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible and will do everything in my power to ensure this is the case. In your home, I will keep their routine to what they are used to. On walks, I will keep them on leash and make sure your requests are met. For drop-ins, I will make sure they are left feeling very loved.
About: I grew up with dogs and have always and one or two to take care of. They are so fun to play with and I enjoy seeing the different quirks in each animal I’ve worked with. I’m available for daily walks, or drop-ins in the morning, afternoon, and early evenings from 7 am to 7 pm. My schedule is flexible and negotiable. I ensure my dogs are fed, entertained, and that they get a good amount of outside time. If it’s hot outside, then I will make sure to mind the temperature of the concrete and bring them in or play in a patch of grass.
“Kayla did a fantastic job! I’ve never hired a pet sitter before, so I was really nervous about how my animals would do. She was very reassuring and sent me pictures and updates every day. She did fantastically with the dogs, especially my really anxious one. I appreciated how attentive she was to my dogs’ health. She let me know quickly when one of them inevitably puked from stress and made sure they were both happy and tired before leaving for the day.”
About: With over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked with a wide range of animals—from loyal German Shepherds and playful pit bulls to energetic labs, cuddly chihuahuas, and high-energy doodles. My experience also extends to caring for cats, ducks, and even fish, making me a versatile and trustworthy companion for your pets. Whether it’s a daily walk, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I am a teacher during most of the year, but I love working with animals. I am trying to build my summer with pet sitting, dog walking, etc to keep myself active and busy. I do not offer pet sitting in my own home. However, in your home I will keep the schedule/routines you use and ensure your pet gets plenty of cuddles and care.
“Yvette did a wonderful job staying with our cats. She gave plenty of updates and made sure the cats were comfortable and played! Will definitely book Yvette again when needed!”
About: I’m currently a fourth-year undergraduate student majoring in Environmental Studies and Political Science! I grew up taking care of family pets such as dogs, cats, horses, and goats, which was my initial introduction to the animal world. Beyond this, I spent many years volunteering at rescues to learn about caring for animals with particular behavioral and medical needs. I’ve gained invaluable experience through rehabilitating animals and have tried to advocate for animal welfare whenever possible in my daily life. Since starting my degree, I’ve house-sat and pet-sat on multiple occasions for periods up to a month in length. I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of animals and understand the importance of care done correctly. I’m happy to accommodate specific requests and prioritize pet well-being above all else! I'm a full-time student, so I will have several classes every day beginning in late August. However, this schedule could easily accommodate visits to the house throughout the day for potty breaks or other animal needs. I'm able to manage morning and night care, along with 1-2 visits throughout the day. I'm also available with greater flexibility on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for drop-in visits, walking, and house-sitting. Depending on owner and pet needs, we can work out a schedule to suit everyone! In my client's home, I try to maximize time spent with the animals by sitting in communal spaces and interacting with them whenever possible. I'm a patient and flexible person, so the process of learning an animal's routine and behaviors is a fun challenge for me! I also complete necessary tasks like feeding, watering, walking, grooming, etc.
“We were very happy with Kirsten taking care of our animals. Not all of them are easy but all of them love her and Kirsten did a great job taking care of everybody while we were gone for the weekend. We will definitely book Kirsten again.”
About: I’ve always loved taking care of dogs, and have either watched dogs while staying at other peoples homes, watched them in my home, or even just stopped by to walk them and play with them. With dogs, I make sure to take extra time to care for them and pay close attention to them, since I know they miss their owners a lot when they go on vacation. I am also comfortable with giving dogs with special health needs their medicine, as I have done that with a dog with physical problems as well as a dog with severe anxiety. I take pride in attention to detail when it comes to spending quality time with dogs, and make sure that they trust me. I am currently working at a restaurant with varied hours, ranging from early morning to late evening; I am not always working, however, and am more than willing to share my work schedule. I am currently not available to offer services in my apartment, as pets are not allowed in my building complex unless the pet is mine.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I love to cuddle with them, take them for walks and treat them like my own. Your furry friend will not even know you’re gone. I will take such great care of them. I’m currently a stay at home mom with kids in school so I have all day and all weekend at night. Their father can watch them so I’m available 24 hours a day seven days a week. I will take care of your pet just as you wish whatever services or demands that you have will be taken care of to the fullest extent

Eliza meets all my criteria and I would hire her back in a heartbeat.”
