“Veronica was wonderful with our two cats. I would recommend her to anyone and would use her services again anytime. It was the first time I used a sitter, and it worked out perfectly”


“AnnMarie is wonderful and understands our pets. One very shy cat who never shows her face actually came up to her on her first visit. Amazing! AnnMarie does a great job.”


“Maritza was great with my cat, Riley. She took time to meet Riley and get an idea of her daily routine. She provided daily updates with tons of photos and videos and a description of how Riley was during each visit. Maritza was very respectful throughout the process and provided me with a sense of ease knowing my cat was in good hands while I was away. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting services! Thank you!”

About: I love all animals and I have taken care of my own dogs and cats for 15+ years. I am also a 'go-to' person for my neighbors' pets too. I work remotely a few times a week so I can assist during the week!! Can drop in Thurs, Fridays, Sat and Sundays whenever needed to let your animal out, walk or feed too. Also can give shots as I had a diabetic cat which needed shots I can walk your pet - feed, give medication, let animal out - or spend time with them during the day. Happy to assist when needes.

“Rebecca Z. Has been incredible taking care of our kitties while our house sitter friend had to leave to for an emergency. She took over smoothly and Ian and George (our kitties) warmed up to her fast. We received many pictures and detailed updates for every visit. I will be definitely working with Rebecca on future trips”


“Adriana was great! Our dogs warmed up very fast to her. She is very respectful of the dogs and their environment, prompt, and great communication. We will be returning for Adriana's service.”


About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds throughout the last 10 years. Friends and family have relied on me to walk them, feed them, and provide any other care needed! I’m a teacher on summer break and have plenty of time to care for your pet. Will be available most weekdays and weekends to attend to your pups. I will treat your pet as my own, providing extra love and care as needed, as well as treating your space as my own and making sure all feel safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I could walk, literally. I grew up surrounded by pets on a small family homestead, we're talking dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, and the occasional bottle-fed goat among so many others I lost count. Now 28, I bring that same lifelong experience, calm energy, and deep love for animals into every pet-sitting job I take on. Whether your pup needs a long walk, your cat needs quiet company, or your senior pet needs gentle care, I’m here to help. I’m confident handling animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and kind. I treat your pets like they’re my own. Let me know how I can support your pet’s routine while you’re away! I work weekends in the hospitality industry, which gives me a lot of flexible time during the week to focus on my writing. Pet care fits in perfectly—I love having walking buddies and a reason to step away from the page and get outside. Whether it’s a midday walk or a quiet home visit, I enjoy building routine and connection with the animals I care for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’ve worked with animals my whole life—on a farm and in private homes—which means I’m confident handling different energy levels, temperaments, and situations. I’m attentive on walks, avoid unsafe areas or off-leash encounters (unless discussed), and always keep water and waste bags on hand. During home visits, I follow your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, medications, or just quiet companionship. I respect your space, lock up carefully, and keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. My calm energy helps animals feel safe—and I treat them like they’re part of the family.

About: I have 3 dogs of my own and I have always been an animal lover. I also love to exercise so dog walking is perfect for me. I have trained my dogs to understand their basic commands and they have excelled. I also am a volunteer at the animal shelter so I have worked with all kinds of dogs throughout different ages. I work from 9-4 Monday-Friday which would allow for me to do the later shifts when walking or watching a dog. On the Weekends I am available all day usually because that is my time off from my Daycare Job. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, my top priority is ensuring their safety and comfort within a familiar, stress-free environment. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walk schedules, and preferred play or rest habits, to maintain consistency and reduce anxiety. I take the time to understand the layout of the home and make sure any potentially hazardous items—like loose wires, open trash bins, or accessible medications—are safely out of reach. I always double-check that doors, gates, and fences are secure before and after outdoor time. When walking, I use only the client-approved leashes, harnesses, or other safety gear and avoid unfamiliar or overly busy areas unless instructed otherwise. I also keep a close eye on the dog’s behavior and body language to quickly catch signs of stress or discomfort. Clear communication with the owner is essential—I provide regular updates and follow all instructions carefully, including dietary needs and any medications. My goal is to ensure every dog feels safe, secure, and loved in the comfort of their own home.

“This was my first time using Rover and Marie set the bar high. She was very communicative, prompt on her arrivals and followed the instructions we shared with her. My sweet dog looked so happy in all the pictures with her. Will definitely book her again when I’m in the neighborhood.”


“Rachel did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats while we were away. She was also very accommodating with a last minute request we had while we were away also. Highly recommend!”

Lisa N.
“If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like family, Lisa is the one. She’s reliable, patient, and genuinely loves animals. My pup warmed up to her instantly—and that’s saying a lot, because he’s usually shy around new people. Lisa goes above and beyond, whether it's making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise or sending adorable photo updates that brighten your day. Her calm energy and attention to detail give you total peace of mind. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my four-legged best friend.”

Lily F.
“Lily took care of our two dogs and four cats while we were away for two weeks and honestly, I can’t imagine a better experience. One of our cats is older and needs medication every 12 hours, and our dogs are super high-energy and need a ton of fetch and running around to stay calm. Lily handled it all beautifully. Our animals are usually slow to warm up to new people, but they trusted her right away. The first week she came twice a day (morning and early evening), and the second week she stayed at our house full time. She was great at sending us updates--and not just quick check ins, but real pics and videos of everyone playing (both cats and dogs), relaxing (both cats and dogs), and just doing their thing (cats). It meant a lot to us to feel connected to our babies while we were away. When we got home, everyone was happy to see us of course, but they weren’t anxious or unsettled at all, which was such a relief. In fact we were shocked at how relaxed they were and how quickly they got back into their routine after being gone for a good 2 weeks. That says a lot. And of course the house was spotless. ( I think it might’ve been cleaner than when we left.) Lily is calm, thoughtful, incredibly reliable, and really sweet with animals. Even our standoffish cats came out to hang with her. We’d have her back in a second and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy, kind, and genuinely wonderful pet sitter.”


Bryanna F.
“Bryanna is one of the best dog walkers I have had for my boxer. Her caring, sweet approach made Callie like her on the spot. Her love of animals shows as soon as you meet her. I will definitely use Bryanna again to walk my dog.”
