About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I love all pets and have experience with cats and dogs. I treat them like members of the family and am very attentive. I’m the person at a party that will ignore the people if pets are around.**I cannot do overnights, just all day visits for housesitting/overnight requests :)** I have a very flexible schedule currently so I can be of help whenever needed. I am available weekends and weekdays. Available all day also I am very passionate about animal safety. I am aware of every precaution necessary and safety is my number one concern. I am very trustworthy and am always thinking about your pets’ needs first.

“Evan did a great job with our large (3 cats and 2 dogs) menagerie for a week. Pets were well cared for and even though I had some pretty specific feeding instructions, Evan handled it perfectly. Communication was exceptional, and everything with the house was great when we got home. Honestly, no notes. I highly recommend Evan and will book again in the future.”

“Julia was amazing! She was so communicative and we got home to a happy and healthy pup (and a 100% clean apartment!) I could tell she was spending a lot of time with our buddy and really appreciated her attention and support. Would absolutely book again!”

“Grace was wonderful with my dog and my house while we were away for a few days. She was attentive to pet and house needs, communicative, and extremely easy to work with. We will definitely hire her again!”

“Isabella was the best Sitter that I’ve had so far! I’ve used many sitters on Rover and she was by far the most attentive and great with my dog. Would recommend her to anyone! I will also be using her again in the future.”

About: Knowing your pets are a part of your family, its my intentions to provide an opportunity for your pet to at its best. That means learning your pets personality and needs. My Career also entails skills with animals care specifically for sick animals, not that I am veterinary doctor, meaning I help deal with acute health issues. Being a good listener and observer due to my Scientific Career it's only a matter of time before you realize that you pet just might be excited to visit, and even more happier to return to you. Thanks for asking. My work has very set routine. Therefore when I start a project I know the days that I am available throughout its completion due to having to let processes develop on their own. So I am able to designate time for pet sitting in a routine manner and flexible manner. If I know my clients needs, I can adjust my work accordingly. Thanks for asking. My apartment is definitely animal friendly, with only on carpeted room. I will always notify the owner or any health issue, and with coordinate with the owner emergency protocols. Outside, there is a waterfront your pet can visit for walks, large yards that the pet can explore, and even an enclosed area where your pet can be unleashed so they can get a chance to roam free if ever necessary. As far as individual animal routines for food and walks are concerned, I would only take on a job if I was able to provide the animal with its precise schedule. I find animals are more confident when they know what to expect. Thanks for asking.

“Jean was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We are pretty picky with who we trust our fur baby with and we definitely felt like she was in very capable hands! Couldn’t recommend more highly!”

“Rayna did an incredible job with my dog, Lucy!! She asked how many updates I wanted on Lucy while I was away and I told her there was no limit, and she delivered the most fun photos and updates! Lucy clearly felt so comfortable with Rayna! I will absolutely be booking again.”

“Mariana took great care and kept us updated on our 3 pups while we were away for a long weekend. I highly recommend her if you are considering travel this summer!”

EUGENE M.

“Maya is truly amazing, so loving and patience with my spoiled boy Armani. She is the only pet/home sitter I will be using for the future. She will take care of your home and pet as if they are her own. I highly recommend Maya if you are looking for a reliable person!”

About: I’m a travel nurse without any animals who wants to love on yours! I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 3 years old, up to 3 dogs at a time. I trained my puppy while I was in high school and have loved on dogs through their old age as well. I worked at a doggy daycare for a few summers while I was in college. I work 10 hours shift during the week, however I am free in the evenings after 6pm and have one free day during the week. I am always available on the weekends. I understand that all dogs have their own routine, needs & quirks! I am very thorough with the care I provide and will love them like my own! I have experience in dogs with medical needs such as giving them oral meds & injections as well as post-op recovery care.

“While planning for our upcoming wedding, we were looking for a in-home sitter to trust with our two small dogs, one of whom is 16 with some special needs. Although we were initially very nervous to leave them for the weekend, our nerves were immediately relieved upon meeting Steph. Steph has a calm and patient presence, and is also extremely professional. At our meet and greet, she was very attentive and asked great questions, which really proved to us how experienced she is and how much she cares. Steph sent photo updates throughout the stay and handled an unforeseen issue with ease. We would highly recommend Steph to take care of your pets and we hope to hire her again in the future!”

“Nadine did a great job with our five month old puppy! Our puppy loved her at the meet and greet. I wasn’t home at the time Nadine came to walk Sandy so Nadine sent lots of photos and videos and actively walked our puppy and played with her the whole hour of the visit. Nadine was very professional and went the extra mile for us, even fitting us in last minute, in between other obligations!”

Sharon M.

“Ryan was very responsive and amazing with my two dogs. He spent the day with my dogs in my home and provided regular updates, photos and videos throughout the day. He is kind and respectful. I highly recommend Ryan and plan to use him again.”

Christina B.

“Sarah was amazing. So intuitive with our nervous dog, who was immediately comfortable with her. Reliable, responsive, kind, caring and very clean. We feel so grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”

Juli C.

“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”

About: I have fostered animals (mostly cats) for two years and have cats of my own. I have experience caring for cats and dogs from 10 weeks to seniors. I’m comfortable caring for multiple animals at a time. I have experience in giving dogs and cats medication. I’m familiar with feeding schedules, coordination of care, waste management, and pet enrichment. I grew up with 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 hermit crabs, 3 fish, and 1 guinea pig (thankfully not all at the same time!). I also have experience in working with farm animals (horses, chickens, ducks) and rode horses for a few years. I’m currently a full time special education teacher and I’m available in the afternoon/evening and on weekends. After June, my schedule will be more flexible and I will have additional availability during the summer months. I have 3 cats of my own (Boo, Sam, & Taylor) and 1 step-cat, Cleo (she does not live with me). I love working with animals and look forward to caring for yours! I currently work full-time as a teacher and will be more available during the summer starting late June to late August. However, I will be available afternoons and on weekends. Pet safety is extremely important to me. Since I’ll be caring for animals in your home, I’ll collaborate on any safety concerns on the property or in general. I’m able to easily crate dogs and I always walk dogs on leash. I ensure that all exits and entrances are properly closed so that pets don’t get out. I also don’t allow cats outside. I will also coordinate with you on if there are any local environmental concerns (nearby construction, a door in you home that sticks,

“Kaitlyn was great with my girls and house! Everything was just the way I left it. 5 nights 6 days. She sent updates and pictures everyday. I have a reactive dog and a 14.5 year old diabetic cat. She loved/s them and kept them happy, safe, and comfortable while I was away. Thank you Kaitlyn!”
