“Neil was an affectionate and reliable caregiver for our dog and two cats when we were away for a week+, providing lots of updates regarding their moods and cute moments, and clearly taking a lot of pleasure in their company. He was a great pal to them all and left us feeling comfortable that they were in good hands.”
“It was great working with Jackie! She was very communicative, gave attentive care to our sweet pup and respected our home during a house sit. Looking forward to working with her again!”
“Rachael took great care of our dogs and house. We got frequent updates and pictures, and the dogs seemed happy and well taken care of when we got home. I’d highly recommend booking her for house sitting!”
“Alana was wonderful - she’s responsive during the booking process and followed all the notes we went over during our meet and greet discussion. I have an 11 month old whippet who is a little nervous to be left with a new person, but he warmed right up to her! Alana was very patient and gave lots of updates. Would definitely use her sitting services again.”
“Shalese was excellent as always! We know Dre loves we she comes to care for him and she does a fantastic job! Her updates are perfect and she always leaves our apartment clean and well taken care of as well.”
“Natalie is the absolute best for our dog. We went for a week long trip and Natalie stayed in our home. Let me start off by saying that we came back to the house even better than we left it. Natalie kept us up to date and treated Tia and our house as her own. She made sure to clean up any and all messes. And cleaned up a mess from Tia’s accident better than even we could. She even went through our trashes and washed her own sheets. Natalie will be our go-to sitter going forward and highly recommend her to all”
“This was my first time being away from my 10 month old blue heeler mix. As he is still a puppy he can be a handful and is still a work in progress with commands. Andrew did a great job, sent daily updates, and put my mind at ease. I will definitely be rebooking. He was also accommodating to a short notice schedule change. Thanks Andrew!”
“Sophie was a great communicator and did a lovely job taking care of our cat, Vanya. The house was spotless and the litterbox was clean when I returned home. We will definitely use her again.”
“Carly was wonderful stepping in last minute to watch my dog for the week. She took great care of Lyra and handled her dog reactivity effortlessly. Carly was communicative throughout the sitting and always sent updates and pictures. I highly recommend her for any petsitting needs!”
“Sonja did such a great job watching our dog while we were out of town! We could tell that louie was very comfortable around Sonja. Sonja also communicated really well with us and went the extra mile cleaning up before she left.”
About: I grew up as a horseback rider in New Jersey with cats and dogs always in my home. I have lived and dog walked/pet sat in cities such as San Diego, Chicago, Seattle, and Boston. I'm currently pursuing my PsyD in Clinical Psychology and wish to unify my love of working with older adults with my love for animals and their healing abilities! I'm currently attending school Monday to Friday, but am open to caring for your beloved pet(s) on the weekends from morning until night. Let's chat to see what works best for you and your schedule! I'm a diligent caretaker ready to follow instructions and requests within your fur baby's natural environment. I'm available to dog walk, pet sit, as well as house sit for your convenience and peace of mind.
“May watched our two pugs, for a long weekend, which was no small feat, as one is a puppy with puppy energy. Our pugs loved her! She followed the routine that we left and gave us updates. She also left our house spotless, as if no one had been there! May is an excellent dog sitter and we would definitely book with May again!”
