“Alayza is a dog whisperer! She’s amazing, kind and patient. My dog has big stranger danger and fear aggression when meeting someone new and it seems he warmed up to her pretty quickly. By the second day he was cuddling with her and letting her pet him! I highly recommend Alayza!”

“Russell was an excellent sitter in our home for our demanding cat while we were away for 10 days. He sent lots of pictures and asked good questions. It was super clear how much he cared about her well-being and loves animals. We would highly recommend Russell as a pet/house-sitter!”

“Karima stayed at our house for two full weeks to watch our dog and cat while we were out of town. She was great! Karima was very communicative and sent us photos of both pets every day, and kept the house tidy while we were away. We will definitely use Karima again, as we came home to very happy and chill pets who seem to genuinely miss her now that she’s gone!”

“Isabelle exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter! From the moment she arrived, our dog Max felt completely at ease with her, which says a lot about her natural way with animals. She kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos that gave us complete peace of mind knowing Max was happy and well-cared for. What really impressed us was her attention to detail - not only did she take excellent care of Max, but she also left our home spotless.”

“Keisha saved our Christmas plans! When our sitter canceled last minute, it was such a relief when Keisha was so willing to do a same-day meet and greet, and stay with my elderly dog for the week of Christmas. She was responsive the whole time, and we returned to a happy dog and clean house. She even treated Marley to a Christmas present, which was so sweet!”

“Javien is amazing! He stepped in to care for our dogs for a few days at our place with barely any notice. Our dogs adored him right away! He also handled our dog’s diabetic needs, including insulin injections. Plus, he kept us in the loop with updates all day. We felt so confident that our dogs were in good hands, even when we needed a sitter last minute. We’re definitely going to ask Javien again for future pet sitter needs! Thanks, Javien!”

“Elizabeth was an amazing dog sitter for my pup. She was very responsive and sent updates regularly (including pictures that I must say were rather artistically done). My dog was sick while I was away and she stayed awake late in to the night making sure he was okay. I would have her sit again in a heart beat.”

“Kriss was AMAZING with our two pitties! One of our dogs had a rough start so he can be a bit fearful of new people, but within an hour of her stay with the dogs, Kriss sent us a photo of that dog lying across her lap. She is responsible, kind, and kept us updated throughout her visit. We are looking forward to working with her many times in the future :)”

About: Taken care of neighbors and friends pets and have grown up with a dog. Love playing, relaxing, and making pets feel safe and have fun. I currently work full time and my schedule is very flexible. I am off every other Friday and I live close to work so I can come back home at any time. I live in an apartment building that has a dog park for the dog to play, wander, and go to the bathroom. There are also many dog parks in the area that can be explored.

“Aaron was a pleasure to have in our home to watch our two kitties. He followed all our instructions and took amazing care of our girls. He sent plenty of updates as instructed and when we returned, our home was left the same as how we left it and he kept it clean. He made sure our girls were happy and safe. We will definitely be booking him in the future. We have no complaints. He treated our home and cats with respect. If you’re looking for a trustworthy pet sitter please consider Aaron. My fiancé and I are so grateful we found him . Thank you so much again Aaron. He made our trip care free knowing our kitties were in great hands. We love you Aaron!!”

About: Since 2019, I’ve been providing loving, reliable pet care with experience in dog sitting, house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and more. I bring high energy, patience, and genuine passion to every animal I care for. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a senior dog who just needs gentle companionship, I show up with consistency, love, and respect for their unique needs. Your pets are family—and I treat them like it. I’m a full-time caregiver with a flexible, free-range schedule—I don’t work a traditional 9 to 5. When I’m not cat or dog sitting, I’m usually babysitting, doing side gigs, or making deliveries with Uber Eats and DoorDash. My days are adaptable, which allows me to give plenty of attention, care, and time to the pets I’m responsible for. I’m available for check-ins, walks, and overnight stays based on what your pet needs! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and comfort. In my home, I keep the space cozy, pet-proofed, and welcoming with lots of love and supervision. In the client’s home, I respect the space and maintain their pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I send regular updates, photos, and always go the extra mile to ensure your pet is happy and cared for like family.

“Meg was great with our pup while we were away for Thanksgiving week. She house sat for us, handled all care instructions to the T, and gave our pup lots of attention and play. It was great to come home to a happy pup and a clean, neat house, just as we left it. She was communicative and provided regular updates. We won’t hesitate to use Meg again!”

Sylvia was nothing short of wonderful. As a first time puppy mom, I have been very nervous leaving my fur baby in someone else’s hands. Sylvia put my mind completely at ease — not only is she kind and very communicative, but you can tell she has a passion for taking care of fur babies! I cannot recommend her enough.
