“Once again, Marianne was there for me so I could enjoy a night out with my husband and support him. I’m so grateful for her—I trust her completely with my little puppy. She’s amazing, always there when I need her, and always willing to go out of her way to help in any way she can. She even brought me two key litters—how thoughtful is that?”


“Catherine did an amazing job cat sitting my fur baby, I always get anxious leaving her but I know she was in great hands so I could be at ease. Catherine has really kind, warm energy, and a big heart. She sent lots of photos and updates, took great care of our home too. I will definitely rebook her in the future for when we travel. Thank you Catherine!”


“Dawn has stayed in our home to watch our two kitties multiple times in the past, and did an amazing job. This last trip she watched our dog, Baloo, as well and she was fabulous as always! The care and consideration she’s gives for our animals, and home, I truly amazing. And it makes going away much less stressful.”


“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina and the care she gave our dog during our 4-night trip. Leaving our pup is never easy—he's such a huge part of our lives—but from the moment we met Christina, we felt completely at ease. It was clear right away that she genuinely cares about animals. Every morning and evening, she sent us sweet photo updates that instantly brought smiles to our faces and eased any worries we had. We could tell our dog felt comfortable, loved, and safe—and that meant everything to us. It’s such a gift to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, and Christina is that person. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a home that was just as we left it. We're so grateful for her care and can’t imagine using anyone else in the future. Highly, highly recommend! Thanks Christina!”


“Peggy was wonderful with our dog. He has high anxiety and is blind and she was so good with him. She walked him multiple times, sent updates, was reliable and communicated. I highly recommend Peggy, she is kind and very responsible. I appreciated all the messages, pictures and videos of him.”


“Romana has dealt with two dogs for 4 nights and 5 days. She stayed in our apartment overnight. She managed incredibly well considering that both pets were left with a pet sitter for the first time. She managed well the stresses and the schedules of the two pets who eat at different times and have different walking routines. The apartment was left in pristine conditions. Throughout her stay she kept us informed daily of the well being of the pets. I strongly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter or walker. Thank you Romana!”

About: Hi, I’m Kennedy! I’ve cared for pets in all kinds of homes, from cozy cabins in Montana to sunny apartments here in Florida. Over the years, I’ve fostered dogs of all ages and personalities, from bouncy puppies to gentle seniors, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping their routines consistent. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just hanging out together, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also experienced with house sitting, so you can trust that your home will be looked after just as carefully as your pets. If you’re looking for a reliable sitter who will treat your pets like family, I’d love to connect! Pet care is part of my everyday life, I’ve fostered for years, so caring for animals is second nature to me. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to give pets regular walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s morning cuddles, midday walks, or evening wind-downs, I make sure each pet feels loved and cared for. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable by following their usual routines and giving them plenty of love and attention. In your home, I respect your space and keep doors and gates secure. In my home, I provide a cozy spot, fresh water, and a safe environment free from hazards. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands.

“Marta is a great pet sitter. She came over two times before I actually needed her to get acquainted with my pets. She did everything that was expected and even sent us pictures while we were away. I would definitely use Marta again.”



“Camille is the sweetest, most loving, on-time person to take care of our puppy. She was so helpful with the new member of our family. Highly recommend!”


“Christina was absolutely amazing. Our dog is a service dog and usually is with us 24/7, but we were going into some foreign countries that had a lot of outbreaks of viruses affecting animals and we chose not to take her. It really worried us about where she was going to be, but after meeting Christina and her taking care of her one day as we were doing I told her we can't couldn't take her on it her, we felt confident that we had chosen the right person. She was amazing with Aurora, and I would highly recommend her as a sitter,”


About: Honestly my special skill is animals like to be around me. I’m the type of person who has to stop and say hello to every dog I see. I am confident around animals of all sizes. I have had many different types of experience caring for animals from owning my own pets for the majority of my life, to being an in home pet sitter. I also used to have a job where I was required to go into people’s properties and had to interact with all the dogs that would be there to greet me which helped me develop skills on how to handle different situations, having to read the animals as I navigate their yard. I would like pet care to be my full time occupation. I am available week days and weekends. I am willing to travel if needed. I am comfortable with whatever the owner requests. I am available for at home stays for extended periods of time. I am flexible in my schedule.

I’m also comfortable following any special instructions, whether it’s medication, training reinforcement, or a specific routine. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’ll treat them like my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐶🐱💛 Currently I am working from home, so 99% I am at home and will be happy to take care of your baby and take a great care of them. Ensuring your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority.I create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels safe and happy. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, providing them regular meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. 🐾 In my home: I make sure the space is pet-friendly, free from hazards, and full of cozy spots for rest and play.

“My Ollie takes a while to warm to new people but Cory did it fast with his calm, kind and confident persona. Cory has walked Ollie a few times and stayed over in my house with him, and everything went great. I appreciate that!!”


About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds — from energetic retrievers and beagles to strong-willed American bulldogs, and now, two playful French bulldogs. I’ve worked closely with professional dog trainers for each of my dogs, and I’m so grateful for that guidance. It’s taught me how to better understand dogs and communicate with them in a calm, consistent way. Over the years, I’ve learned how to adjust to each dog’s unique personality — whether they’re full of energy or need a little extra patience. My friends are always surprised at how quickly their dogs connect with me, even the shy or nervous ones. I love earning a dog’s trust and making them feel safe, seen, and cared for. Your pup will be treated like family, with plenty of attention, affection, and care tailored just for them. As an entrepreneur, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout my day. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day playtime, or sticking to a consistent feeding and potty routine, I’m able to give dogs the time and attention they need to feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I follow any routines or guidelines you provide closely — from feeding schedules and crate time to walk preferences and training cues. Consistency helps dogs feel secure, and I do everything I can to make sure they feel right at home. In my own home, I keep a clean, dog-friendly environment with secure spaces for play and rest. I’m always mindful of what’s within reach and make sure all dogs are supervised during interactions, walks, and mealtimes. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I give my own. I make sure your pup is comfortable in their familiar space and stick to your instructions so there’s no added stress for them — or you. I also check in regularly with updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy, safe, and in good hands.

“Nothing brings me more nerves than days away from my pup, my separation anxiety is far worse. Caroline did an amazing job with Thelo! Regular updates on his walks, photos, and giving him the affection he always needs. Would highly recommend her for a house-sitting stay to take care of your beloved pet”


“We had a great experience with Leslie. She sent us pictures and videos while we were away and our dog loves her. Our house was as we left it. Plus, she’s really nice! We highly recommend Leslie and will gladly use her again in the future!!”


“Sean was great. My girl exhibits fear aggression towards other dogs and Sean was able to easily work with her. Not only work with her but they had a great time! He updated me frequently and made me feel at ease while being 3,000 miles away. He also took care of my skink and aged rat. Awesome dog/skink/rat sitter!”
