“Elizabeth stayed with my Pomeranians for most of November due to work travel and then a personal trip over Thanksgiving. I always hate being away from my pups, but after the first two short stays for my business trips, I felt really good about being far away for 10 days over Thanksgiving, knowing they were in good hands. As always, Elizabeth was communicative, responsive and I could really tell she was getting to know their personalities and quirks. She also sent really fun updates, with a bit of humor and witty writing, but even better, the stories she texted me about were spot on with how they behave as a little pack. In addition, after her stay, I was putting harnesses on them to go on a walk, I noticed that my 9 month old pup Evie, who always ran around crazy when it was walk time and wouldn’t let me put her harness on, was coming up to me to get her harness put on. So, not only did she take good care of them, she somehow got Evie to understand how to put her harness on, and that chase was not part of that process. I’ll be forever grateful for whatever magic she did to get Evie to want to put on her harness! I will absolutely use Elizabeth again and highly recommend her to stay with your pets while on vacation or business travel.”
“Tianyu (Scarlett) was absolutely incredible! From the start, she did a meet & greet with our dog Lola and asked thoughtful questions — setting the tone for just how attentive and caring she is. She house sat and cared for Lola for 5 days, sending detailed daily updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. She was also extremely responsive whenever we reached out, and when we got home, the house was spotless. Truly above and beyond care — for both Lola and our home! We’d absolutely recommend Scarlett to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet and home with the utmost care. We’ll definitely be booking her again! 🐾”
“Omar did a great job! He communicated with us throughout our trip, sent pictures and videos, and was a good house guest. Our dog warmed up to him quickly - a testament to his care and kindness.”
“Esther was great, would book with her again! She took the time to come for a meet and greet ahead of time, followed everything we asked to take care of our dog, including medication, and took good care of our place. Thanks!”
“Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾”
“Elvira does a fantastic job and my dogs absolutely love her. She sends a lot of updates and clearly loves animals. She followed all of my instructions for their normal routines and kept we well informed about how they were doing.”
“Another amazing pet sitting experience with CJ!! Our shepherd Ellie absolutely loves him and when we came home, she looked at us like “who are you?” He takes great care of our girl and also leaves our house in impeccable condition. This time he even had to put up with house construction and had no complaints. He’s our go-to for pet sitting!”
“Michelle is awesome! She stayed at our house and watched our golden for the night. You can tell she’s loves pets and is so good with them and is really focused on taking care of them. Our dog really liked her snd they had some great adventures! There were lots of updates and pictures, which we loved. Highly recommend her!”
“Kristine was absolutely amazing! Took every detail that we asked of her and told her about our Doberman and she followed through with extra little details! Kristine was very communicative and you can really tell she cares about what she does. Will gladly hire her again! P.S. she works at a flower shop and left beautiful bouquets for us in our kitchen. I’m obsessed!”
“Kiana was great! I was in a last minute panic because my dog Finn got sick and couldnt go to day care, but has separation anxiety so I really needed coverage last minute. Kiana was a big help and flexible, adjusting as needed to help me and Finn get through the worst of it.”
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including fish, dogs, lizards, rabbits, and cats. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of different pet needs, from maintaining routines to recognizing changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly looked after friends’ pets during vacations and work trips throughout my college years. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and reliability. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive not just proper care, but also attention, patience, and affection. I’m adaptable to different personalities and routines, whether it’s an energetic puppy or a more independent cat. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m also really big on living an active lifestyle. I enjoy walking and running regularly, so having a pet actually fits in perfectly with that. It’s great because it keeps both me and the pet active and engaged, and it naturally becomes part of my day rather than feeling like a separate task. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every environment I care for pets in. In my home, I have a secure, fenced yard that allows pets to roam and play safely. I also live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby parks, which is great for regular walks and exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions, including medications or special care. In both settings, I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. My goal is to create a safe and trustworthy experience where both pets and owners feel completely at ease.
“Jiamin was excellent with our pups. She’s was prompt for both our meet and greet and scheduled booking. She sent extremely thorough updates with lots of photos, and the dogs loved her! Will definitely use her services in the future. Thanks Jiamin!”
“Rendell is amazing. He is a great communicator and took stellar care of my pup on a very last minute booking. I will definitely track him down again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Stephanie took great care of our 1.2-year-old golden retriever, Bidu, while staying at our home for five nights, and we had a wonderful experience with her! She was responsible, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house just as we left it. Her updates throughout gave us peace of mind, and it was clear that Bidu felt comfortable and well looked after. We’d happily have Stephanie stay with him again in the future!”
“Samantha was amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup for more than a few hours, and she set our minds at ease immediately, and our dog loved her from the start. She is incredibly kind and professional, and totally gets our dog’s idiosyncrasies!”
“Rachel was wonderful! Super responsible and really put my mind at ease while we were traveling. She kept great communication and sent daily photos and videos, which I really appreciated. She left the place spotless, and I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.”
“Jessa, did a wonderful job taking care of our Finn. She was very nice we did a meet and greet ahead of time. She was thorough in her communication and she sent us lots of photos of Finn.”
“This was our second time booking Ghazaal for in home cat sitting and I definitely felt a lot more at ease leaving our cat because we knew she was in excellent hands. We got regular updates, Ghazaal is so kind and easy to interact with. All instructions were followed and our house was like she was never here, except for a very happy cat! We have already booked Ghazaal again!”

Kenny did an amazing job caring for my two cats while I was away for three weeks. Since my cats are normally very cautious around new people, I was impressed by how quickly he gained their trust. The daily updates and photos were greatly appreciated and gave me complete peace of mind throughout my trip. It was clear that he genuinely cared for them, and I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.
This was Sam’s second time watching our puppy dog and she did an amazing job! She stayed at our apartment for four days and took great care of Sage. You can tell that she really loves animals and goes above and beyond for them. On top of that, she left our place spotless. We are so grateful to have found Sam and will definitely book her in the future.
Zixi did an amazing job taking care of my cat! While I was away, I initially had friends stop by several times a week, but my cat became very anxious and started vomiting hairballs frequently. I then booked Zixi for three consecutive nights of house sitting, and the difference was immediate. From the very first night, my cat warmed up to him. Zixi brushed her 2–3 times a day and thoughtfully gave her wet food to help soothe her digestion. Thanks to his attentive care, my cat’s condition improved significantly—she stopped vomiting and was visibly much happier. I truly appreciated how patient and observant Zixi was, and I would absolutely book with him again!
Lauren was absolutely amazing with my senior dog, not only did she keep him company and keep him safe, but she also helped him with little things that made it a lot more comfortable, she’s very knowledgeable about dogs and very loving, and I highly recommend her!!
Vivian was an absolute lifesaver for our little nervous little guy, Disco. He can be very anxious, but she handled him with so much patience and warmth. She quickly helped him settle into a happy routine filled with walks and snuggles. We could tell he felt safe and happy with her. Highly recommend Vivian to anyone looking for a compassionate and trustworthy dog sitter.
Andrew and Veronica took great care of our dog and house for two weeks! Our dog was showered with attention as Andrew works from home. We got regular updates and photos, and appreciated that our dog was happy and followed her daily routine. 0ur home was clean and the plants watered, and Andrew even offered to do some grocery shopping for us before we came back. They went above and beyond, and we would be happy to have them sit again!
