“Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!”

“Aimee is great. Great with communication and very accommodating - sometimes our plans have changed while away and she is great to make it work. Plus great with our two cats!”

“Catherine went above and beyond for our drop-in visits! I was so happy to leave George in good hands, with great walks and playdates with her dog Winston! Thank you so much for everything you do!!”

“Jocelyn has done multiple drop ins for our Nella and is always great with check ins and communication. We appreciate the consistent great service she provides. Nella really likes her visits too!”

“I booked a Riley for a drop in visit. She was great and provided a detailed update for when she checked in with Butter. I would book her again!”

“Tara was flexible and responsive and took great care of our pets while we were away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


“Another stress-free, flawless week of visits from Heather. I am very happy to have found her and that she and my dog have a good relationship that makes for easy visits. Thanks, Heather!”
“Aly was so great! She was available last minute and took such good care of my cat. She was thoughtful, asked questions, and was responsive. Would highly recommend her !!”

“We love Anne! She takes the best care of our puppy every week, and we trust her to always let us know how our little girl is doing and if there are any issues. She took care of her the week after her spay and was so gentle and sweet with her. She’s the best!”

“Ameera is a pet parent’s dream! She was extremely attentive and caring with my cat, provided wonderful updates and videos that I looked forward to every day, and went the extra mile to make sure both my cat and I were comfortable throughout my travel. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Haley was great with our senior cat. She clearly bonded with her quickly and gave us detailed updates. We appreciated that Haley was comfortable giving meds and that she included med info in our updates. We’ll definitely book with Haley again!”
“Isabelle and Diego were wonderful sitters for our kitty!! They are extremely detailed oriented and sent very comprehensive cards with lots of photos. Would definitely book with them again!”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have raised mine from puppies. I’ve also happily walked, house-sat for, and boarded friends’ dogs in times when I didn’t have one of my own. I’m planning a career transition and will be working on a personal creative project, so I will have a flexible schedule to respond to pet parents’ needs during busy work days. Regular walks are important for a happy and healthy pup! When I walk my own dog, I follow routes that will keep us both safe and am always careful in any interactions with other dogs, especially if we don’t know them. I’d do the same for your pet and abide by any specific instructions you might have!
“Rachel did an amazing job watching & caring for Porkchop while I was gone on travel for a week. Rachel and Porkchop became fast friends. I really appreciated her attention for detail - feeding, replenishing water, cleaning out the litter box, bringing in the mail, and sharing photos as well as updates on a daily basis! Rachel is also very timely with her responses and it shows that she takes great care in her job. Highly recommend!”

“Jackie was very pleasant to work with, asked questions to cover all the angles to make sure my super senior kitty was taken care of, including about giving her medication which Jackie did with ease. She sent me pictures for each visit and provided thorough notes/summaries, and I could tell she genuinely adores cats and showed that love to Moojie. I will absolutely hire her again!”

“Paul was responsive and incredibly communicative. I needed to take a last-minute international trip. Within a few hours, we were able to schedule a time for Paul to take care of Clementine. I am definitely using his services again the next time I have to travel.”

“Brittany was great and Kramer loved her!! She was also so helpful with Kramer’s special instructions (since she was just spayed)! We will definitely use Brittany again!”

“Dominique was terrific to work with. Very responsive and he showed up on time for each of the visits and followed the directions perfectly. I could relax on our trip knowing that Dominique had everything under control.”

About: I have been a pet sitter all of my life, from random drop in visits to overnight stays. I have been surrounded by multiple dogs and cats at a time growing up and have no limit for how big or small they may be. I helped with a family rescue for many years so am used to animals with all types of aggression levels. I currently do not have any pets of my own. I am a young professional who works a hybrid schedule and am offering my services in return for your furry friend’s companionship :) I currently work hybrid (3 days a week) so can work with your schedule, but I cannot unfortunately take any recurring requests at this time! My animals growing up have always been my best friends and my first priority. They’re absolute family to me. Because of this, I treat everyone else’s pets as such.
