“I HIGHLY recommend Maria and Jose!! They took excellent care of my little morkie and treated her as one of their family. I really appreciated their regular updates and when my flight was delayed, they were very accommodating. I feel so fortunate to have found them and will definitely use them again!”
“Hope and her family are animal lovers and it shows. They were flexible about drop off and pickup times and weren't offended when I asked for a meet and greet before leaving our dog.”
“Bella seemed to really enjoy her stay with Kali! My fiancé and I really appreciated Kali’s responsiveness and willingness to work with our schedules. She even sent us a picture showing Bella settled in bed which we greatly adored. Thanks Kali!”
“Katie and Preston were so good to my puppy, Mona! They sent cute pictures and daily updates as to how she was doing that eased my nerves while I was away. They were additionally very accommodating and understanding when pick-up time kept getting pushed back due to multiple delays for my flight home. I never had any doubt that she was getting great care, and will definitely book with them again!”
“Paul is an excellent sitter, and my pup got so much attention and care staying with him! He has a wealth of experience with dogs, and is very attentive to their needs and behaviors. He is incredibly responsive and flexible, and I was happy knowing that my dog had a yard to play in, a dog companion to be with, and humans who were around to give her lots of love. His home is comfortable and catered to the needs of dogs, with plenty of cozy dog beds and places for them to look out of windows. He sent lots of photo and video updates, too. The next time I need a dog sitter, I will be booking with him. Thank you, Paul and Remi!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years, starting in a multi-pet household and continuing as a trusted sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I have experience administering medications—both oral and topical. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, mealtime, or snuggles, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I treat every animal like my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away I’m currently in between jobs, so I have open availability through early August—including weekdays, weekends, and even short-notice bookings. Once my new job starts, I’ll still be available most weekday evenings and weekends unless I’m out of town. I do this because I genuinely love animals—pet sitting doesn’t feel like work to me. It’s something I truly enjoy, and it’s always rewarding to spend time with animals, care for them, and earn their trust. I’m most comfortable house sitting in your pet’s familiar environment—it’s usually less stressful for them, and I love making sure they stay relaxed and happy while you’re away. I’m great with cats and dogs alike, and I have lots of experience managing routines, giving meds, and keeping things tidy. I do have one friendly dog at home, and while I can host in emergencies, I typically prefer to care for your pets in their own space so they feel safe and settled. Your pet’s comfort and your peace of mind are always my priority.
“I highly recommend Jackie! She has a very calm demeanor and my pup was instantly relaxed with her. She took notes on my dogs preferences and health needs and kept me updated while I was gone. If you want to feel reassured your pet is in good hands then definitely request her.”
“Gabriella was completely amazing while sitting my dog, I cannot recommend her enough! She was sending me consistent updates, sent plenty of pictures, and I really feel like she cared about my dog and wanted him to be comfortable while in her home. Will definitely be using Gabriella in the future and recommend her to anyone wanting the best for their dog!”
“Cannot say enough good things about Teresa. She took such good care of my pup and was very communicative, providing daily updates to show how much fun my dog was having. Provides a safe and nurturing environment and my dog had a blast!”
“Miranda was tentative and so caring with my pup. She gave me great updates / pics during the duration of my his 3 day stay. I felt so comfortable with him in her care. I will certainly use her again when I need overnight or day care!”
About: I’ve lived with (big) dogs all my life. Both of my dogs have dealt with health issues so from a very young age I was learning how to take special care of my dogs, giving them medication and special treatment. By the age of 10 I was volunteering to pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. I recently worked at a dog boarding/ play care and my love for our 4-legged friends is forever growing. I try to give my pup the best life that I can and I hope to do the same for many others! I’m currently working a part time job so I would have plenty of time to spend with your pets. My schedule is pretty flexible for both day time and overnight. I’m available to care for your pets in the comfort of your/their home, as well as providing dog walks in your neighborhood and longer trail walks if desired. I am comfortable following any feeding or medication needs as directed. I would be happy to do a meet and greet before sitting to make sure that we’re the best fit for each other.

“Sophie had a great time with Alexis and Addy! I got pictures and updates from Alexis daily on how Sophie was doing which was such a relief for me. Sophie seemed very relaxed and at home during her stay and I will definitely book her again! Wag on?”
“Lindsay was great with Cota and his energy. She l Kept us informed with tons of pictures and took him to sniff spots and parks. Her dog Leo and Cota became great buds. I will definitely book her again.”
“Did great with our large black dog. Would recommend. Great communication.”

Adalin T.
“I first met Adalin when she was in elementary school. I was walking my dog past her house and heard a young voice call out from a tree “I like your dog!” She hopped down from her tree to meet my typically shy dog, who eagerly greeted her. The following summer I had the pleasure of spending my days with her, her younger brother, the family’s two dogs and my own, when her parents contacted me for summer childcare through a neighborhood friend. Adalin loved encouraging the dogs to play and eagerly took them on lots of walks, managing her family’s two year old Pyrenees with care. Her attention and joy in the task was so apparent that several other neighbors asked if she would walk their dogs too, and she was taking care of three or four dogs by the middle of the summer. In the following years, I and other neighbors have continued to call on Adalin for pet care and house sitting for a variety of pets from dogs to cats to chickens. Your pet will be in loving hands with Adalin!”
