“Having Gabriella watch my dogs was a wonderful experience! She was very communicative, great with the dogs, and I felt very comfortable leaving them with her! Would definitely recommend using her services!”

“Maggie has sat for my pup twice and both times she was attentive and kept me updated on how things were going. My senior boy is shy and slow to warm up and he does well with her.”


About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have my own two cats currently. My childhood dog had epilepsy and was on medicine multiple times a day and I was his caretaker to help my family with their work schedules. I give my kitties love first try big in the morning but before I leave I feed them and scoop the box. I make sure to play with them before bed so they have activity and get their energy out. I let my cats free roam while I’m away for the day but I grew up with a crate trained dog. I’ve pet sat for friends before who have restrictions where their pet goes and I’ve been able to follow their directions.
“Carly did a great job of taking care of Archie when I was out of town! She was very communicative and provided frequent updates. I came home knowing he was well-taken care of when I was gone!”

“Gabby was great with our dog, she took great care of him and our house! The house was spotless on our return, and our normally anxious dog seemed as happy as usual which was a relief for us. She was very quick with communicating, we would definitely have Gabby sit for us again.”

“Christiane did a great job watching our dog Harper while we were away for a long weekend. She sent a lot of updates and I could tell Harper was happy and comfortable!”

“Austin took great care of our dog, Zeke, while we were away. It was such a relief knowing Zeke was in good hands, and we came back to a happy pup and a clean, well-kept house. We would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a pet/house sitter!”


About: We had three dogs growing up. I’ve had three of my own as well. I am currently the go to sitter for my best friend’s dog. I’ve cared for dogs in extreme health situations/have seen just about everything. I’m great with dogs/love spending time with them. I also work remotely and am available to come and pet sit. I am open to potentially boarding, but I would have to talk to my landlords first. I work from home, with two thirty minute breaks. I do not start until 10:30 and can do morning walks or feeding. I’m off at 6:30 and can do evening walks or feeding as well. I’ve had a full range of experience caring for my dogs over the years. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding and basic grooming. I also have experience with a wide variety of medications and have no problem giving supplements or medication at your direction. Since I work remotely, as long as there is some desk space to set up and Internet service, I can stay over any day of the week if needed. I consider myself a good communicator and am happy to send updates or answer any questions you may have.
“Crystal is amazing! She stayed at my house and watched my labradoodle for three nights while I was out of town. She is very responsible and left my fur baby and my home in perfect condition!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care Celeste provided for Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup! She went above and beyond in every way. Throughout the weekend, she kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Celeste was professional, attentive, and clearly treated our pets as if they were her own. Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup absolutely loved her, and we could tell they were comfortable and well loved the entire time. We highly recommend Celeste to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and top-notch pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Allison was very responsive and professional. She took great care of Cuper, and was able to get Cuper to take her medicine. (Which is tricky.) I would definitely hire Allison again.”

About: I have had dogs since I was 6, taken care of them my whole life, but don’t have one of my own currently sadly. I want to get a dog within the next year so would to take care of yours while I am interviewing from home! I work from home for now, interviewing for residencies, with lots of time to take pets out throughout the day. I go on long walks and runs on my own daily so will keep your pet happy and active! I love caring for pets, petting and cuddling with them, taking them on long walks, and playing with them indoors while I am sitting around.
“As always, Hope was an amazing sitter for our dog, Chester. This is the third time we've asked Hope to stay at our house with Ches. We trust her completely and Chester loves her. She is communicative, polite, courteous, and tidy. Highly recommend!”
“Destiny was great staying with our two dogs and two cats, one of the cats recently started living with us after my father passed away, so she is a nervous cat with all the changes. She worked around our pets' schedule, sent updates and pictures, and let us know when she was leaving. One of my cats got a little sore under his eye while we were gone. Destiny sent us a pic, asking if this was common and treated him with ointment after we spoke. When we came home, everything looked like we left it and our pets were happy and healthy. Will definitely book Destiny again.”


About: I’ve cared for various dog and cat breeds/personalities throughout my life, I love them all! I have some experience administering medications to dogs and cats. I am patient and consistent when it comes to following rules or a routine. I will treat your babies like they’re my own! My daily routine includes caring for my 3 kitties by playing with, cleaning up after, and feeding/watering them; I’d love to do the same for your pets! I’m familiar with special diets and administering various forms of medication, as my cats and other pets I sit, are on medicated diets and take additional medications. I currently have open availability, save a few social obligations over then next two months, but I’m flexible and communicative so we can always discuss timelines! I treat other’s spaces with care and consideration, I like to be respectful above anything else. I love all animals and treat the pets I sit with the same care I do my own.
“Nicholas was a great dog sitter. He sent daily texts and pics of our boys. He walked our high energy GSPs multiple times a day and kept them busy. The dogs immediately liked him and even slept in bed with him. He answered texts promptly, communicated well and left our house clean. I would definitely recommend Nicholas to care for your pup.”

“Cecilia is a great dogsitter! She’s very communicative, which helped me to feel at ease leaving my dog with her while I was gone. She followed all of the instructions I left and took great care of Murph and my apartment.”

Nina is incredible! We just returned from a 10 day vacation. I was so reluctant to leave our 10 yr old special needs dog that had been diagnosed with a neurological condition a couple months before our trip. Nina cared for him as if he were her own. She administered his meds and managed his nighttime restlessness with such ease! We also have two kitties she cared for at the same time. We came home to a happy crew and a very clean home! The trash was emptied, the dishwasher was empty, the house was very tidy, just as we left it. Nina was also so communicative and sent lots of pictures despite a 6 hour time difference from home and where we vacationed! We will not hesitate to book Nina again and highly recommend her. We are so grateful to have found her. ❤️

Bethany was great! She kept us updated throughout her stay with plenty of pictures and messages about how the dogs were doing, which we really appreciated! She even made sure to let me know when she noticed one of our dogs was limping, and I was so grateful that she paid attention and communicated that with us. On top of taking great care of our dogs, she left our house spotless! We would absolutely recommend Bethany and would love to have her watch our dogs again!
