“Stephanie took great care of our 1.2-year-old golden retriever, Bidu, while staying at our home for five nights, and we had a wonderful experience with her! She was responsible, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house just as we left it. Her updates throughout gave us peace of mind, and it was clear that Bidu felt comfortable and well looked after. We’d happily have Stephanie stay with him again in the future!”


“Shinhyun is very gentle and sweet. Luca is hppy with her. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy dogsitter.”


“I have asked Michelle to cat-sit my kitty twice now and she has been great! My cat has separation anxiety and not only is Michelle great at calming her down, she plays with her a lot. She does a great job of making sure the litter is scooped, water is filled, and food bowls full. She has also been very respectful of my home; she is very clean. I will be asking her to cat-sit my Nugget in the future.”


“Leslie was absolutely incredible and hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve had. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was to our dog, Mimo, and to our space throughout the holiday weekend. Not only was she prompt and communicative, but she went above and beyond to ensure Mimo was taken care of, and always sending great updates in the process. We’re looking forward to the next opportunity Leslie can watch again!”


“Diana was great with my dog! She understood his behavior and handled him really well. She took him on so many walks to the park that I'm sure he wishes I would go away and leave him with her more often!”



“It was a great pleasure to have Danyel look after our little guy and home. As a siamese, he isn't the quietest cat to look after and has a particular set of routine he needs to follow but Danyel looked after him to the T! She was incredibly responsive, communicative, and went above and beyond the required ask to make sure our home and cat is burdened free by the time we got back from our trip. Thanks Danyel!”


“Kate did amazing job with our dog! We were a little nervous about in home sitting, but it seemed like a really good option for our dog, and Kate made us feel completely at ease about it. Kate communicates very regularly and we loved getting daily updates from her. She left our home spotless so we could relax after returning home and, most importantly, our dog was very clearly well taken care of. We would highly highly recommend Kate. Thanks Kate!”


“Gabriela is an excellent pet sitter! She did a fantastic job taking care of my two senior fur babies! She is reliable and kept me updated with pics of the kids while I was gone. I look forward to hiring her again when needed!”


“Angel did a great job with the pups during the home stay. They seemed very happy and well taken care of when we got back from our trip! I would rebook with Angel again in the future.”


“Camila was great with my pup, Howie! He has stranger danger and barks a lot at new people but she was very patient with him and he warmed up to her quickly! She sent updates and picks while I was away which I really appreciated. We’ll definitely use her again!”


“Yet again, Denise held down this furry fort while we were away and we appreciated her patience and attentiveness to the needs of our four kids. All was well and welcoming upon our return home and the kids were relaxed and not at all troubled by the fact that we l had been away which is exactly as it should be! Thank you for taking care of them and our home in our absence!”


“Alyssa was great! She is extremely nice and it’s clear she loves spending time with dogs. She had great communication and I appreciated the updates. I’m sure my dog had a great time with her and we’ll be rebooking her in the future! I highly recommend her :)”


“Malia was a joy to work with. She not only cared so well for our 2 dogs, but did an outstanding job house sitting. We came home to clean sheets, laundry going and happy dogs! I will definitely keep using her as a house/dog sitter, she’s incredible!”


About: I truly love animals and treat every dog or cat like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or simply keeping your pet company, I bring a warm, friendly, and attentive presence to every visit. I’ve cared for animals my entire life — I grew up with a family dog, bunnies, and even a tortoise! I raised my corgi mix, Lilo, from puppyhood and understand the consistency it takes to support pets through every stage of life. I also have experience with senior pets. I’m available throughout the day and can dedicate as much time as needed to care for your pet. Whether it’s extended stays, drop-ins, or walks, I’d love to make your pet’s care a part of my everyday routine. I’m currently searching for my next remote job opportunity, which means my schedule is quite flexible. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. When boarding, I can make arrangements for my dog to stay elsewhere for your pets' comfort. When house sitting, I follow your specific instructions, tidy up, and always treat your space with respect. I will happily send photo updates so you can stay connected while you’re away. If your pet has special needs (mobility, diet, etc.), I am even more detail-oriented with my care! I have experience with oral medication, eye drops, anxiety, reactivity, incontinence, visual/hearing limitations, and more.

“I had a great experience with Caitlin. She was prompt to all of our scheduled meetings in the run up to the actual house sit. During the house sit itself she was great with communication and provided pictures of my dog while I was away. Overall a very responsible and professional house/pet sitter who I will use again.”


“Amazing as always. Tracey stays with our pups at our house for extended stays. She's a fabulous communicator, and wonderful and tending to the house and the pups. Our crew is always so content when we return, free from anxiety and visibly well cared for. She leaves the house exactly as she finds it each time, I never worry when she is there :)”


“Amani was a wonderful house sitter and we felt at ease knowing Marley was in good hands. She’s so thoughtful and Marley didn’t seem like he missed us at all (which is always the goal). She’s the best!”



“It's nice to be on a trip and know your home and fur babies are well taken care of. Stacey kept us informed with pictures and text messages to let us know how our pups (2 big dogs) were doing. I think we missed them more than they missed us for sure! When we got back, you could tell they were missing the extra attention and play time Stacey gave them. Would recommend and request Stacey for house/dog sitting again.”


About: I respect both humans and their pets. I also believe that animals should be cared and protected in their environment both indoors and outside settings. I have a full time job that I work Monday to Friday, and I intend to provide pet care services on after hours and weekends. I focus on and ensure that I don’t interfere and disrupt personal space of both the human and the pet I’m caring for at all times.

Mahlet W.
“Mahlet is truly passionate, patient, and caring to pets. She treats them with gentleness and love. I remember how she took care of Emily, a male cat. She never misses a chance to show how special Emily is. When Emily got sick, Mahlet took care of him. She cleaned his wound, put cream on him, and brought him to the vet. She made sure that he will get the care that he needs. She wants what is best for the pets. I know that she is trustworthy, responsible, and respectful not only to pets but to humans, as well. I will definitely recommend Mahlet to take care of pets. I truly appreciate her hardwork and dedication.”
