“Carl did in-home pet sitting for us and was a delight to work with. He was responsive, professional , had great questions - making us immediately comfortable, and took care of our dogs exceptionally. He has a perfect demeanor for our dogs. What a gem to have found him!”
“Gabi house sat for me for 6 days/ 5 nights and took care of my dog and cat. During the entirety of her stay she was very communicative, very attentive to the animals, and comforting to me (since I get nervous when leaving the girls!). Prior to leaving I cleaned my home to be ready for her to stay and when I got home the house was just as clean, if not cleaner. I really highly recommend Gabi as your new sitter! TLDR; Gabi is great, hire her.”
“I always leave a review so that others will feel more than comfortable when considering Kaylee to watch their dog. I’m grateful to have found her and have hired Kaylee a few times already as this last trip was 2 weeks outside of the country. It made my trip more enjoyable, and my seven-year-old dog has really bonded with her!”
“Tina came to our rescue on short notice and we couldn’t have been happier about how the stay went. She was always communicative, detailed and extremely responsible with her care for our Geoff. She is a true master and should be welcomed in any home to care for any kind of pet.”
“Aury did a great job taking care of our dog and our home. She sent photos multiple times a day and I could tell the dog was very well cared for. Our house was spotless upon returning home.”

“THE BEST PET SITTER EVER! Polina is truly the kindest, most thoughtful person you could ever hope to care for your pets. She went above and beyond in every way—staying overnight just to make sure my kitten was safe and comfortable, and treating both of my cats with so much love and attention. I’m normally filled with anxiety when I’m away from my animals, but with Polina watching over them, I felt completely at ease. She kept me constantly updated with pictures and messages, which made all the difference. I could tell my cats were happy, calm, and so well cared for. Polina, thank you from the bottom of my heart—you are a gem, and I am so grateful for everything you did.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 20 years. Growing up in a family that adored animals, I naturally became the go-to pet sitter for friends, neighbors, and relatives. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. Whether it’s going for long walks, administering medications, providing baths, or simply offering love and attention, I treat every dog as if they were my own. My calm demeanor and attentiveness help pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m available for pet care every day except Wednesdays, with flexible hours throughout the day. Whether your pet needs morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I can adjust to your schedule and provide loving, attentive care when you need it most. Your pet will enjoy a calm, quiet, and clean environment with no other animals or small children in the home. I’m fully focused on giving your pet personalized care and attention. Whether your pet is shy, senior, or simply enjoys peaceful surroundings, my home offers a safe and stress-free space where they can feel completely comfortable.
“Yssis was great with our pets! We got lots of cute pics and the furkids were definitely getting all the snuggles. We will definitely try and use Yssis again next time we travel.”
About: My dog is now 17 years so I have pet care experience in all stages of life! I also have experience with small and large dogs. I am loving and patient and ready to care for your pup or cat! I am my pets caretaker almost daily. Occasionally I watch my neighbors or extended family’s pets on the weekends or (less often) weekdays. I love animals so it’s a great part of my daily routine. I frequently take the pets outside and provide lots of love and play time! I make sure the pets are safe and secure in the environment, and hazards are out of the way.
“Amy was great with ZuZu. When we returned is was as if we had only been gone a few hours. ZuZu handled our absence nicely. Amy left the house in exactly the same condition as when we left. Amazing.”
