“Moru is absolutely amazing. We have a 8-month-old German Shepherd puppy and we have been so nervous about finding a good dog walker. Not only is Moru kind, sweet, and gentle, she is so talented and a excellent trainer. She sent updates with pictures and then had an entire edited video of the full hour that she was at our house. We are looking forward to continue working with her. Our puppy was incredibly happy and slept soundly until we got home.”


“This was my first experience hiring someone to watch over my cat and Sharon really went above and beyond. She was extremely flexible and thorough with her visit. She sent many pictures/videos and checked in with me often. She let me know when she will be arriving and when she was leaving. I was very comfortable having Sharon around due to her experience and really felt her loving and kind nature towards my cat when she visited before my trip. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you Sharon for taking such good care of my Peakie while I was away!”


About: My wife Abby and I are passionate dog lovers and we are proud parents of a 3-year-old mini Goldendoodle, Mochi. She has been with us since she was a 8 week old puppy. We love spending time with her—whether it's exploring trails, visiting dog parks, or simply some indoor fun, fetch the ball, hide and seek. When it's time to unwind, we all enjoy cuddling on the couch and watching TV together. Mochi is our family member, our kid. She is super friendly and loves other dogs. Our friends have relied on us to take care of their pups while they were away. We thus have hands-on experience caring for dogs of difference breeds and sizes, including a full-size Goldendoodle, Shiba Inu, Cockapoo, Westie and Pomeranian. Abby and me work as a team. So always somebody at home! We will send lots of photos or videos for update while your pup is staying with us! I’m fully home, which gives me the time and flexibility to provide attentive care for your pup throughout the day. On weekdays, we take Mochi out twice a day for 30 minutes each—once in the morning and again after work. If the weather is nice, we’ll also enjoy a midday walk to soak up some sunshine. In the summer evenings, we take Mochi to the dog park so they can socialize and play with other pups. After that, we wind down with some indoor fun, like a game of fetch or a cuddle session. On weekends, we love taking Mochi on trail walks, giving her a chance to explore new sights and smells while getting plenty of exercise. Whether it’s outdoor adventures or cozy indoor play, your pup will always be engaged and well cared for just like how we love Mochi! We have a fenced yard where pups can play and roam freely, and our super friendly dog Mochi is always up for a playdate! I work from home full-time, so your pup will never be left alone. To ensure the highest level of care, we only accept ONE dog per day, allowing us to focus entirely on their needs and provide lots of one-on-one attention.

Wendy”


“Here's a comment you could leave for Naghme: I can't thank Naghme enough for the exceptional care she provided to my cat over the past five days. She was incredibly caring and kind, ensuring my cat felt loved and comfortable while I was away. Naghme also made sure all the daily medications were given to my cat without any issues, which was such a relief.”


“Thank you so much Cassidy !!! You were great. I will call for your services again. Very much appreaciate the punctuality and care you gave Billy .. he didn’t miss a beat thanks to you !!”

I have a sweet 7-year-old Pomeranian at home who is calm and friendly with other dogs. She’s used to having doggy guests around and loves the company! I'm currently working from home ,so I have plenty of time to play with your pups!

“I apologize for my delayed review; I was busy catching up on my work. I was really pleased that Qian accepted my request, even though it was last minute. He came to check on Ray and my house within 30 minutes of my request before agreeing to it. He understood my instructions perfectly. He was also flexible enough to accommodate my request to change the time on the first day. For the actual service, he arrived right on time and took care of Ray as instructed, sending me pictures to reassure us. On the second day, he cleaned the litter box, communicated with me, and went upstairs to check on Ray to make sure he was okay. I'm very satisfied with the service and will definitely reach out again when I need pet sitting services.”


About: Rain or shine, I’m ready for walk time! 🐶☔️ With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring lots of love, patience, and energy to every walk. I’ve had two dogs of my own—a Wheaten Terrier and currently a sweet (and sometimes skittish) Goldendoodle—so I’m especially comfortable with pups who are anxious or shy. I welcome dogs of all sizes and energy levels and love matching their pace, whether it’s a calm stroll or a playful adventure! I have full availability Monday-Sunday from 8am to 10pm and can accommodate any schedule! I can do walks for 30 minutes and 1 hour or more. I am very strong and can keep a short leash on a dog who is very excitable if you are worried about them interacting with other dogs. I will not let your dog run up to or jump on strangers without asking their level of comfortability first. Very flexible with how you want your dog to be walked and am open to all perspectives: loose leash, tight leash, want dog to go to dog parks etc.

“Nafiseh has been fantastic- my Havanese loves spending time with her, as the photos clearly show. We have been very lucky to have her.”


About: "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened" - Anatole France. I have been a pet owner for more than 20 years. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so I’m looking for pets that can use all the love I have built up for them. I have previous experience taking care of dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I have worked at pet stores, pet groomings and vet rooms which has allowed me to develop the skills necessary to interact with pets and read their body language. I’m also an avid advocate of volunteering and supporting foster homes to help animals looking for a FUR-ever home. But most importantly, I've been a passionate pet lover my entire life and can provide tons of fun and care to any pets willing to take it. I run my own businesses from home and I only take care of one pet at a time. I can provide regular walks and exercise. My home is a safe environment as your pet will be the only pet there (unless an owner has multiple pets). Before the stay, I will propose a Meet & Greet to ensure my home is a great fit for your pet.

“Connie was great and very helpful in taking in my last minute request! She went and did everything and more , my dog was so happy as I saw from connies pictures :) thank u connie for ur help and definetly will recommend again !”


“Rachel came and visited my pups. She let them out to play and have potty breaks. My dogs take time to warm up but honestly it didn’t take more than 5 minutes and my pups loved her. I will be booking her on a more consistent basis. She is so loving and warm. I highly recommend her to anyone with their babies”


“I just live the way Saman cares for my Gracie. She’s very shy and struggles with separation anxiety. He’s so patient and kind to her - meeting her in her terms and gaining her confidence. It’s made all the difference and helps with my anxiety about her too!”


About: I have been dog sitting and dog walking for over a decade, I have worked for local businesses as a dog walker, I’ve been a dog owner for almost 8 years, and I know what dog need, love, attention, lots of walking, lots of petting, and someone that will care for them just like they were their own. My work is in the evenings between 3 PM and 8:30 PM, so I have lots of time during the day and lots of time at night to make sure that your little one is walked well and will be taken care of during the day while you’re at work! Whether it’s at your home or my home, my focus will be primarily on your furry friend, in a safe and happy environment so that they feel comfortable and it’s easy for them to adjust. I live near Mill Pond as well, so it would be a great opportunity to get a big walk around the pond!

About: From cuddling with cats to playing fetch with dogs, I find deep satisfaction in providing attentive and loving care to furry friends of all shapes and sizes. Every pet has their own unique personality and preferences, and I take great pride in tailoring my services to ensure each one feels happy, comfortable, and loved in their owner's absence. I am very flexible in terms of scheduling. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into both my daily and weekly routines, reflecting a commitment to ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, involves a comprehensive approach tailored to the specific needs of each animal. In my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment by setting up designated areas for rest, play, and meals. Daily routines include regular feeding times, ample fresh water, and opportunities for exercise and mental stimulation through walks, play sessions, and interactive toys. For clients' homes, I prioritize maintaining a consistent routine as closely aligned with the pets' usual schedule as possible. This includes adhering to feeding times, administering medications if necessary, and ensuring the environment remains clean and secure.

About: Ive had a genuine love for pets since childhood. Even with having multiple cats at home, I would still find cats outside and bring them home to give them food and water. My friends have also trusted me with their pets due to my experience, and Ive never really met a pet that didn't like me as well. I care for my own pets (2 Russian blue cats), in between being a musician. I embrace their healing properties (Like their purring, that is even used for acoustic therapy for bone healing in humans!), I enjoy educating myself about what they need to thrive. My 2 cats (mom and her son) keep each other company daily, they both enjoy going outside but the little one only roams in the backyard when he feels like running around and munching on grass.

About: I’ve been a cat owner for over 10 years—starting when I was just 6 years old and continuing throughout my senior year of high school. Currently, I own an Akita-Husky mix dog, whom I’ve cared for since he was 8 weeks old, thus giving me hands-on experience with puppies and house-training. Recently, I did a 2-week housesitting stay caring for a 15-year-old senior dog. In addition, I volunteer at PetSmart, helping look after stray and feral cats of all ages, including kittens, in their pet enclosure. Ultimately, I’m both a cat and dog lover. I enjoy caring for pets of all personality types—including feistier cats—as well as all breeds and sizes, from small to large. Currently have plenty of time to dedicate to looking after pets, specifically for walking (for dogs), feeding, playing with, and caring for them. It’s my priority to ensure the pets feel loved and cared for. With my current flexible schedule, I am available for several days of the week providing dog walking services, housesitting stay-overs, and drop-in visits. When caring for pet’s for housesitting, I always aim to follow their routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, walked or let out as needed, and give plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they enjoy that). I respect the client’s space and keep the house clean and tidy. For drop-ins and dog walking, I focus on making each visit and walk a positive experience for the pet(s). Walks are thus tailored to the dog’s energy levels and needs, whether it’s a short stroll or active playtime. I also pay attention to weather conditions and use proper gear to ensure their safety. I always take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level—whether they’re shy, energetic, or somewhere in between—so they feel calm and cared for while their owner is away.

Sydney S.Star Sitter
“I have just hired Sydney as a dog walker and we have been loving her! I have a 2 year old golden doodle who is around 55 pounds and full of energy. Because I recently hurt my back, and am a single pet owner, i have had trouble taking Charlie out for her walks. Sydney has been of great help! She is pretty flexible with her availability and is very punctual. She is also willing to take Charlie on longer walks which she really enjoys, and comes back exhausted from (great for me haha). All in all, sydney is a very respectful and lovely dog walker :)”

As someone who loves animals (dogs especially), more than anyone else I've known, I believe that she would be a great asset for any company or client searching for a dog caregiver. Her passion and constant drive to take into consideration the ethical treatment of animals is also another great example of how all animal care employees should constantly be. I would happily recommend Mónica to anyone looking for a new canine caregiver.”

“Peter watched and walked my dog for me during a summer that I had to travel extensively for work. My dog has several medical requirements and medications that need to be taken daily or weekly. Not only did Peter follow the schedule but he helped organize the medications for regular usage upon my return. Peter was an outstanding help and I highly recommend him.”


Shima A.
“Shima’s dog daycare is absolutely fantastic! Her house is clean, spacious, and filled with engaging toys and activities. Cookie, who is usually shy, settled in immediately and always comes home happy and tired from a day of play. I love the regular updates and photos she provides. Shima truly prioritizes the health and safety of all the dogs and offers top-notch care. I highly recommend her to any dog owner!”


Nicole G.
“I left my two cats with Nicole for five nights total as I had a wedding to attend and couldn't take my babies. She sent me photos, videos and updates on them throughout which was very reassuring. My youngest is a little shy but she warmed up to her very quickly (!) and if I ever need a pet sitter I will be calling Nicole again”


Sophia S.
“Sophia Salinas is a bright enthusiastic young woman. She seems to have a special affinity for animals, particularly cats and dogs. She works as a volunteer at Petsmart and often sends me photos of the cats she is playing with. Recently Sophia went to New York City to babysit a relative's dog for 2 weeks. The dog became so attached to her that, when they were not walking or playing, he would curl up for a nap in her suitcase. But Sophia's best training for working with animals came when her own family acquired a puppy. Not just any puppy - an Akita Huskey mix. This dog is a handful, believe me. But Sophia persevered - teaching him simple tricks like sit, heel, and lie down. She took him for walks, short ones at first, and then gradually going farther afield. After some perseverance, she is now in full control and the dog obeys her without question. He also likes her to cuddle with him on the floor.”
