About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs and have always been comfortable around them. I had a Labrador before, so I’m very familiar with daily care, routines, and spending time with dogs. I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Animal Science in 2025 and also have some experience interning at a vet clinic, which helped me better understand animal health and behavior. Since summer 2024, I’ve been helping friends with dog sitting, walking, and boarding. I’ve done three long-term stays (over a month each), so I’m comfortable caring for dogs for extended periods and helping them settle in. I’m responsible, patient, and happy to send updates and photos while you’re away! I’m currently a student, but I have good availability in the mornings before 8am and in the evenings after 5pm, so I’m able to do walks and spend quality time with your dog during those hours. I’m also flexible on weekends and can adjust based on your pet’s routine. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I live in an apartment right now, but I make sure pets have a clean, safe, and comfortable space. I take dogs out for regular walks and make sure they get enough exercise, attention, and care throughout the day. I pay close attention to their behavior and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, routines, and any special needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease.

“I am so grateful that Annee and I have found Jeanne. Annee will be 10 at the end of the month and the older she gets the more she enjoys staying at home. Jeanne is reliable, trustworthy, kind, and loves dogs with all of her heart. I love getting photos when I am away from Annee. I always come home to a happy, healthy dog.”

“Arabelle was a great pet sitter for my Emma. This was the first time I had someone come into my home to care for my cockapoo. She was trustworthy and got along very well with my Em. She kept her on a regular schedule during the day. Arabelle provided multiple walks and playtime. Emma hasn’t played much in sometime so I was very pleased that she was able to peak Em’s interest again. Arabelle kept my home tidy and clean as well. What a kind and well educated doggie professional !”

“Sai did a great job taking care of my two cats. She was super responsive and the cats were clearly well taken care of. She even vacuumed up the litter that the cats kicked around and washed the towels/sheets.”

Ava S.

“Geordie is a stubborn lovable Corgi who has never been left with a sitter before. Gabriela did wonderfully with him. Primarily, she has an air of responsibility about her and I felt safe to leave. I had been worried about it for weeks. No worries. Geordie was well cared for and I’m very grateful.”

“It is a great feeling knowing that Matt is watching Lola. Matt sends us updates and photos the whole time. Lola always looks so happy. We know our girl is in good hands with Matt.”

“McKenzie was the perfect sitter. Easy communication and took great care of Atlas.”

About: I've raised and cared for several breeds of dogs, large and small for about 20 years. I am a true dog lover and I believe its important to connect with them. I am very attentive to their needs. Body rubs and ear scratches are unlimited. I have experience with special needs pups as well. I do have experience giving medications if needed. I once was a volunteer and foster parent with Yorkie 911 Rescue. I also have experience with very shy dogs and I have extreme patience. My home is quiet during most of the day for those pups who need total relaxation or for those senior pups who just prefers quiet. I also have experience grooming small dogs up to 15 pounds. Dog care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and can provide consistent supervision throughout the day. I can structure my day around the dogs’ needs, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks, rest periods, and plenty of attention. I am comfortable maintaining a regular schedule and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I can also provide additional supervision and care throughout the week based on each dog’s individual needs and routine. My balcony is a clean, secure, and dog-friendly space where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. It includes a designated potty area, enclosed with strong netting with chicken wire. along with comfortable cots and lounging furniture where dogs can relax, have fresh air and sun bathe, The balcony is located directly outside my home office, where I work, allowing me to keep a close eye on the dogs throughout the day. Dogs are never left unattended on the balcony. I also have cameras throughout the apartment for additional monitoring and pet gates closing off forbidden areas. The space is kept clean, organized, and free of hazards, providing small/medium dogs with a comfortable and secure area to relax, play, and get some fresh air.

“House, dog, cats and the fish looked and acted like we weren't gone for 10 days letting us know their routine was not interrupted. Ellyana sent plenty of pictures assuring us the furbabies were well-loved in our absence. She was not shy to ask questions or report issues to ensure everything went well for everybody while we were away.”

“Jordan is fabulous. We had to book a house sitter at the last minute and Jordan responded quickly. We did a meet greet at our home with her and the dogs and we knew immediately Jordan was going to do awesome. She of took great care of our little guys and our house. Jordan is friendly, attentive to the dogs, and super easy to work with. She communicated throughout her stay giving us peace of mind knowing the dogs and our home were being well cared for. We will definitely use Jordan again !”

“Alex really went above and beyond in every respect. This was the longest time away from our dogs and we were halfway around the world. It’s clear Alex really cares about animals and went out of his way to keep them entertained, loved, and exercised. He gave us frequent updates with pictures and videos giving us great peace of mind. While we were away he had to contend with the unprecedented East Coast blizzard and cold ensuring that the house was protected and the dogs were safely handed off to a sitter that took over once the storm passed. He even stayed an unplanned extra night until the roads were passable. Will use him again without hesitation and really appreciate how much he cares.”

Sheila & John K.

“Very attentive to Fred. Took pictures and asked many questions to make sure she was taking the best care of him. We used her service 3 times. Definitely would recommend.”

Morgan M.

“Kaitlin was absolutely wonderful, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She was incredibly communicative from start to finish and kept me updated with lots of photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, she took amazing care of my dogs. They looked genuinely happy, relaxed, and well loved in every update. It was obvious they were getting plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly caring, Kaitlin is an outstanding choice. I would gladly book her again without hesitation!”

“Merina was an amazing pet sitter. She left my home and my pets very happy! She was very professional and personable, kept in contact with me with how the animals were doing while we were gone, and I can’t wait to book her again!”

About: I have always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and other pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I am responsible, patient, and dependable. I enjoy feeding, walking, playing with, and giving pets plenty of attention and love while their owners are away. I will make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! As a Division I student-athlete at the University of New Haven, I have learned how to manage a busy schedule and stay organized. Between classes, practices, games, and studying, I make sure to plan ahead and set aside specific times for pet care. I’m responsible with my time and understand the importance of being dependable, so I only accept pet-sitting jobs that fit into my schedule. This allows me to give each pet the attention and care they deserve while still balancing my responsibilities as a student-athlete. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone in your home and with your pet. I will always treat your home with care and respect, following any instructions you provide and keeping everything clean and secure. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, while also giving you updates so you can have peace of mind. My goal is to provide reliable, respectful, and trustworthy care every time.

About: I can't imagine my life without animals. My family has owned several different species of animals since I was born, and I now own a standard poodle and domestic short hair cat. I understand they are not just an animal, but a member of the family who needs to be treated as such. I am comfortable walking, grooming, and feeding any size and aged dog. Walking can either be at a slow pace, or jogging, I just have to be informed prior. If I am dog sitting, I will be sure to give extra pets and loving to each animal, and can also groom the dog if requested. Looking for consistent clients.

About: If your pet needs to stick to a schedule, I will be sure to manage medicine, potty breaks, etc., to a T! I have had cats since I was a kid and currently live with an extra-small dog! I'm very vigilant and detail-oriented, considering my XS doggy can get sick easily. I'm between jobs at the moment! This means my time is very flexible! I can fit in morning, afternoon, evening, and night walks and sittings! Unfortunately, my landlord only allows my small dog on the premises. But I'm more than able to pet-sit in-house at the owner's home. I'm very clean and can clean out a litter box or wash/put away toys while sitting. I also keep my hands to myself when at a home. I love petting cats and dogs, so I will definitely show your lovely animal some affection.
