Zilalai was absolutely wonderful with our old german shepherd! She sent tons of photos of their time together and I could tell my girl was having the time of her life with Zilalai. We will absolutely be using her again in the future. Thank you so much Zilalai!!!

K and Izzy were instant friends and from the pictures I received Izzy clearly had a ball (literally and figuratively)! K ensured she had a romp in a park, plenty of time to play ball and lots of attention and snuggles through her day. Izzzy was contentedly snoring in her crate when I returned home. Thank you, K!

Emily was wonderful with our 10mo puppy, giving him attention and providing enrichment throughout the day, taking him on his midday walk and feeding him lunch. We came home to a happy, wriggly, sleepy puppy. Emily also left the sweetest report card and polaroid shot of Kiwi at the end of the day :)

About: I’ve been caring for our family dog since she was a puppy, starting all the way back in 2014. Spending time with dogs has always brought me joy, and I’d be truly happy to help care for yours with the same love and attention I work remotely from home, which allows me to stay flexible and fully present. Your dog will have attentive, caring company throughout the day — not just in between tasks! I absolutely love spending time with dogs and would be happy to help care for yours, whether it’s for walks or when you’re away. For me, it’s not just about spending time with your dog — it’s about getting to know their personality, habits, favorite toys, food preferences, and all the little things that make them feel comfortable and happy. My husband and I live in a cozy apartment with enough space to create a warm, safe, and welcoming corner for your pet! If you're looking for someone attentive, gentle, and truly dedicated — I’d love to meet you and your dog!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and grew up learning how to care for them with patience, consistency, and love. I’m very comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also have a cat, so I understand the unique needs and quirks that cats have. I’ve administered medication to my dog and my cat. For years, I’ve been who my friends and family reach out to for a pet sitter. My schedule is very flexible, so I can make myself available whenever needed, whether it’s a pop-in or a week long overnight stay. I love animals so I’m happy to accommodate my schedule to your needs. I’ve taken care of young cats and dogs my whole life so I’m confident I’ll be able to provide yours with a safe and comfortable experience.

Sonia was an absolute dream. She was so responsive and took very good care of our apartment while she stayed with our very active dog. She is extremely trustworthy and we were so grateful to be able to have her stay with our animals. We left her instructions and she followed them to the ladder and took very good care of our animals. She kept us updated on her status and sent many pictures throughout our trip. Highly recommend and would definitely use her again in the future!

Noah is fantastic. We had no problem leaving our dog and home with Noah. He’s a trustworthy soul and a real canine whisperer. We could tell from the pics he sent that our dog Tally was well cared for and loved. We came home to a happy dog and a cleaner home than we had left. Highly recommend.

Joseph was absolutely fantastic while watching my dogs. He followed every instruction I left and made the entire experience stress-free while I was away. He kept my apartment extremely clean, was very communicative, and regularly sent pictures and updates of the dogs, which I really appreciated. He made sure to walk each dog individually as well as together so they both got the attention and exercise they needed. It was clear he genuinely cared about them and took his responsibilities seriously. He even went above and beyond by cleaning up dog waste in my building’s dog park, which was completely unnecessary but very thoughtful. Overall it was a 10/10 experience. I felt incredibly lucky to have Joseph looking after my dogs and my home, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter or dog walker.

K was so excellent!! They were flexible, wonderful at communication, kind, and trustworthy. It is hard to have a stranger in your home, caring for your pets… K put all those fears to rest. My giant, anxious dog and wild cat were in great hands with K. They took care of them, loved them, and were so patient, especially with my dog’s anxiety. Thank you for being the best and we can’t wait to have you again!

Kristin was great! I adore my dogs but they are reactive and have significant separation anxiety. I always get barking complaints when I travel. I usually get a bit anxious when I've traveling because of that. However, when Kristin watched Cooper and Justice, I got zero emails or texts from my landlord! She did well with giving them their various meds. The dogs were only marginally excited when I got home, which I take as a sign that they had fun with Kristin. We hope to work with Kristin again!

Sydney has taken great care of our dogs multiple times, and her most recent stay was no exception. Our gal Lil is genuinely excited when Sydney walks in the door, and we always come back to a happy girl and a super clean and cared for house. Lil is also dog reactive and can be tricky to walk, and Sydney is really patient and caring with her. Thanks so much, Sydney!
