About: Grew up in a farm with tons of animals and dogs and cats, I have over 20 years of experience caring and boarding doggies. They help me a lot with my anxiety and depression and it's a full time job. Available all the time. I work from home so I'm always at home available to watch your baby. They will love making me company and that would be my pleasure. I have a huge fenced yard and I'm always at home. I have a daughter and I do domestic work at home. Animals will help me keep company.

“I'm super appreciative of Sean, as he stepped in to help at the very last minute. He took my dog out for walks for a week. He was very responsive and took good care of my little pup. Highly recommend!”


About: I have 2 cats of my own who have been part of my loving family for 9 years and counting. I also love dogs and am experienced with giving them their own individual care. I am currently on sabbatical and can work with your schedule and needs. Most of my days are extremely flexible. I am here to provide whatever your fur baby needs! Each individual pet has different needs and preferences; they are just like humans, and it's important that we treat them and their space with respect.

“Andrea has been amazing w my very shy formosan. She has been very patient with Cricket who took some time to warm up. She includes plenty of detail in her reports so I could rest assured that Cricket was making a good friend and practicing all her tricks. She even intuitively brought a puzzle that helped put cricket at ease.”


“Therese arrived promptly and was very sweet with my dog. I could tell she loves dogs and is good with them. She took him on a good walk, and he was very happy and tired for the rest of the day!”


About: A little about me: I love both cats and dogs. I fostered a sweet golden retriever for 2.5 years when I lived on the East coast and I miss the loving energy that dogs bring. I’m now a cat mom and I’ve loved the journey. Both have brought much joy into my life. What to expect: I will care for your loved one as if they were mine. I will accommodate to your dog/cat's needs/preferences such as personality traits (shy, social, etc), favorite games, feeding times, and any other reasonable accommodations. I give lots of pets and can take cute pictures (if you’d like!) while you’re away so you can be in on the good times we’re having. Clear communication is important to me, and I appreciate when that goes both ways for the best experience possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion. :) I currently have flexible hours as I’m a part time consultant on weekdays and free on weekends! So I can spend the time needed with your furry friend. :) The care I offer is flexible depending on the need. For drop ins I’m respectful of house rules and appreciate when the owner leaves a list of needs/reminders for me so everything is taken of. For walks, I live near a dog park with dog friendly walking areas. Lots of options!

“Andy does a great job of walking my dog selective, fear reactive dog. He gives me detailed updates on how each walk went. It’s great to find someone so reliable and communicative to walk my dog while I’m at work!”


“This is our second time working with Thomas and he has been fantastic with our dog! Thomas is patient, prompt, and reliable. Our dog looks forward to walks Thomas and we can’t wait to work with him again. Highly recommend!”


About: I grew up with a lot of dogs in our family and was always the one walking, feeding, and looking after them. From a young age, I've been the go-to pet sitter in my family. Over the past year, I've regularly helped friends and neighbors by walking, running with, and caring for their dogs while they're away. I'm reliable, attentive, and love making sure each pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m a very active individual by nature, so I particularly love to take dogs running with me if they’ve been trained to run on leash :) I work full time as a physical therapist with a flexible schedule that takes me all over the city. I am generally available mornings before 9 and evenings after 4, but can also tailor my schedule to be free at times in the afternoon as needed. My weekends are typically open and flexible for dog sitting or longer walks/runs Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and secure. I follow all instructions carefully, keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, and always double-check gates, doors, and leash attachments. I want pet parents to feel confident that their babies are safe, loved, and in good hands at all times. At my home, I have a small fenced-in yard and plenty of space inside for playing and sleeping.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and absolutely love it. One of my regulars is my sister’s pup—my “niece”—who I’ve watched countless times while she’s away on vacation. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Daily walks are already a part of my routine, so your pup will get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. Since I work from home, I’m able to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day—whether it’s for playtime, potty breaks, or just some extra cuddles. I’ve cared for my older sister’s dog many times while she was out of town, so I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe and loved when you're away. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like family—paying close attention to their routines, needs, and comfort. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where your fur baby will feel right at home.

“Chris did a week of dog walks for our pup Juneau while my husband was traveling. He is reliable, courteous and a great communicator. Chris did a great job with Juneau, who can be challenging due to her leash reactivity. We would be delighted to use him again.”


About: With over 12 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring a calm, respectful, and attentive approach to every pup I meet. I started out as a teen, pet sitting for family friends, and quickly became the go-to dog sitter among my own circle as I got older. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, gaining experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments—including seniors and shy rescues. I understand that every dog is different: some need high-energy play and stimulation, while others need a gentle pace and plenty of quiet companionship. I focus on building trust with each dog by meeting them where they are—whether that means tossing a ball in the yard, going for long walks, or simply giving them space and comfort while you're away. I’m currently working remotely part time so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m available for housesitting, drop-in’s, and walking. Whether I’m dropping in, staying overnight, or taking your pet for a walk, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and boundaries so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I’m attentive to details like locked doors, leash safety, proper feeding, and making sure medications (if needed) are given correctly. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and routines, leaving things just as I found them, and making sure your pets feel secure in their environment. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, so your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

“We love Mariana checking in on Indie! He’s really warming up to her and we really appreciate her walking him and feeding him. She always follows our direction and we’re so thankful”


About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for them since I was 6 years old and have helped family and friends to care for theirs while out of town. Love treating them as one of the family and giving them all the love and attention they need, As of right now my schedule is pretty open and can fit in walks, check ins and overnight care at just about any time. Consistent times work best as it allows me to schedule other activities around caring for my animal friends. I live in an apartment near the beach, I could make space in the home to setup a bed and play area within my place and we can get outside for walks along the cliffs or beach nearby. Have some open yard area for bathroom visits and possible socialization. Many dog parks nearby as well.

About: I'm a kind and responsible college student who loves animals. I've cared for my neighbors older cats including giving them medication. My first job was walking a very energetic golden retriever puppy and I've taken care of numerous animals since then including senior care for cats, and walks and runs with dogs on leash or at the off leash dog park near my home. I can throw a stick for hours :) I'm hoping this turns into my main summer job. I'm free everyday and evening that I don't already have a pet sitting job, including weekends. I can watch your pet at your home or pick them up and take them out for walks at anytime. I play with pets when I care for them, I love petting them and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I'll follow any guidelines you have and make sure they are always safe.

From the start, it was clear she really gets cats—she has two of her own and asked a lot of questions about Rosie to understand her quirks and personality. She played with Rosie a lot, kept her engaged, and made sure she felt comfortable and relaxed the whole time. She also helped manage our pug Milo, which was extremely helpful. Rosie and Milo don’t quite get along yet, but Tracey was able to navigate their different needs, manage their behaviors, to keep them both happy and comfortable.

Surekha B.
“Surekha is truly one of a kind. She’s cared for my little zoo—four dogs (Emmy, Buster, Tiny, and Twinkle) and one very particular cat (Bobby Socks)—many times, and every visit has been seamless. She’s calm, patient, and somehow manages to give each pet the individual attention they need. What really stood out to me was how she connected with Tiny, my shy Min Pin. Surekha never pushed her, just showed up with quiet consistency—and over time, Tiny completely came out of her shell. Now she wags and runs up to her like they’ve been best friends forever. I trust Surekha completely and always feel at ease knowing my pets are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for in her hands. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their sitter!”

I have witnessed him interacting with various animals for the first time, as a "stranger," and all were able to quickly warm up to him and trust him. I have seens both cats and dogs fall asleep in his lap, including one cat who knew him well and loved to sprawl out with her belly all the way exposed, totally trusting him! In addition to cats and dogs, Kevin has experience caring for tropical fish, coral, hermit crabs, and reptiles; he is a true animal lover and I would trust him with my pets again any day!”
