Simply put Alexandra was phenomenal. Both of our pets took to her from the start and she provided the perfect mix of information and fun when keeping us updated on how they were handling being away from us. She even went above and beyond by making sure all the dishes she used were washed and the linens on her bed were stripped - completely not necessary but a major difference from previous pet sitters we've used. Absolute 100% recommended - we will definitely be using her again!

About: I provide reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care. I have experience caring for a cat for 17 years and a Maltese for 2 years, so I understand both long-term care and daily pet needs. I’m calm, patient, and good with all temperaments, and I follow routines carefully to keep pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping owners updated. Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to offer availability seven days a week for dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home sitting. My flexible schedule enables me to provide dependable care, consistent routines, and personalized attention to each pet’s needs. Please feel free to contact me to discuss availability and scheduling. My focus is to keep pets comfortable and secure by maintaining their normal routine in their own home while carefully following all care instructions, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and playtime. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.

Jocelyn was amazing! We needed a dog sitter on short notice, and Jocelyn not only came through for our anxious dog but also made the experience one that added to her life. She walked her, loved her, and earned my trust during her stay. Our family will most definitely book again with Jocelyn and I encourage you to book with her as well!

Milena & Fernando are simply the best. They house sat our apartment for the weekend to take care of our 10 week old puppy who needed 24/7 attention and they were so great, trustworthy, caring, and responsive. They gave us updates with lots of pictures and videos all the time, reinforced everything we’ve been trying to teach him, and even taught him new tricks. Our puppy loved them and we feel so lucky we found them. 10/10 recommend

Jenid is extremely reliable, communicative, professional, and friendly. She is the kind of person I trust to be responsible for my dog even more than I trust myself because she is so experienced with dogs and so good at taking care of them. My dog loves her and we trust her completely. Thank you Jenid! :-)

About: I pride myself in spreading all of my love and compassion to every animal that I come across. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Nothing makes me happier than seeing happy pets, and giving their owners peace of mind that they are in safe hands. I have hundreds of 5 star reviews, and positive references detailing my work in all types of services with many different types of animals. I will always go above and beyond to care for any pet in my care, it's what I'm ultimately passionate about. I am incredibly flexible with my schedule, I do pet services full time and I'm always open to accommodating however I can. With open communication, anything is possible! My home has a fenced backyard, with a private security system. I make sure that I keep ample treats, toys, and enrichment activities in the home and I love taking the pets out for walks or just to explore the town. If I'm offering services outside of my home, I will always treat your space with respect and make sure that every request is thoroughly taken care of.

Aiyanna has been so so helpful with our dog, Phoebe! Not only is she great with her (and all of her quirks), but she is always willing to go the extra mile to support us and make sure we feel comfortable when we are away from her. Would recommend Aiyanna if you are looking for someone who is communicative, accommodating, flexible, and eager to make your pet happy!

Jose took care of my dog, Yogi, for three days and stayed at my home while I was away. He was very responsive throughout the entire stay and consistently kept me updated with photos and messages from Yogi’s morning and evening walks. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Yogi was being well cared for. Everything went smoothly, and Yogi was happy and comfortable when I returned. I really appreciated Jose’s communication, reliability, and attention to detail. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Leigh was amazing with our corgi, Rigatoni! We were in a bind with finding someone on short notice and Leigh stepped in with some options for us. She came over to meet us and quickly bonded with him! Throughout her 3 days, she was super communicative and provided us with updates and pictures. Rigatoni loved spending time with her in the comfort of our apartment and going on his daily walks. We cannot wait to have Leigh come and watch Rigatoni again. Thanks, Leigh!

Fernando takes excellent care of our foster dog, Ernesto and this stay was no exception. Even though he's watched him a few times before, each stay is different as Ernesto learns and grows and Fernando handles each update and change beautifully. He's a wonderful communicator and we never even have to wonder how Ernesto is doing when we are away because Fernando keeps us posted at every step. Thank you so much, Fernando!

Katherine was incredible! Our dog has some medical concerns and this was our first time leaving him with a sitter since he began his medication. She was so great about following our administration instructions for the meds, as well as anything else we shared with her. I’d highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again! Our dog was so loved while we were out of town, and that’s truly all we could want!

Claire is THE BEST! 5 stars isn’t enough! She took incredible care of our dog for a week, sending us pictures and updates multiple times a day. Leading up to our trip, Claire made sure to stop by for a walk through so she knew where everything was for our dog. She is so kind and takes such great care of our dog. We’ll be recommending her to everyone and will be booking her again.

Anikó is exactly the kind of person you want caring for a senior cat. Bruno is getting on in years, so handing him over to someone new always comes with a little anxiety — but Anikó put that to rest immediately. She brushed him, trimmed his nails, and when an unexpected health issue came up, handled it swiftly and kept us fully in the loop. That kind of calm good judgment is hard to find. She sent beautiful photos and videos throughout (a few are now permanent additions to Bruno’s collection), and I came home to little gifts like eye masks waiting for me. She’d even gifted Bruno a silver vine toy, which he loves. I’m certain he misses her. We’ll definitely be booking again if she’s available!
