“We got Meredith's help with walking our dog Chance and had a great experience with her. We asked if she could help with dog sitting at our house for a few days. She was responsive and thoughtful and we trust her with Chance!”

“Sam was wonderful with my shy, anxious pup. Sam took it slow and Fern really warmed up to her. I got a very detailed report from Sam at the end of the weekend. I came home to a happy pup & a spotless home.”

“Tam took great care of our elderly shih tzu, including giving her eye drops and other meds multiple times a day. She took lots of photos and kept us fully informed of our dog's activities and well-being. She left our house clean and well cared for, and followed our care instructions (for both house and dog) carefully. Highly recommended!!”

“Brooke stayed with our cat Benny for 4 nights. I cannot recommend her highly enough! She was patient with our shy boy and by the end of their time together, they were great buds! Brooke was so kind and communicative. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”

“My family could not have asked for a better person than Heaven to stay and care for our dog. Heaven brought us peace of mind while we were away as she is extremely professional, kind, caring, responsible and attentive. I received updates and pictures and our house looked untouched when we returned home. If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars, I would!”

“Sunny took amazing care of Tater while we were out of town! Sent lots of pictures (amazing ones!) and checked in with us often. Sunny even left us a framed picture of Tater. She is fantastic!”

About: I'm a lifelong dog owner, and have taken care of countless dogs over the years. Trusted by family, neighbors, and strangers, and of course your furry friend, your pup is in great hands. I have experience with puppies to medically complex senior dogs, small dogs to large dogs, and even the most stubborn of friends. I'm a reliable caregiver, and can't wait to become your dog's newest bestie! I have a relatively flexible full time work schedule, and can play with your pup in the mornings and evenings most days, and am generally available on the weekends! I am available most days for walks and check ins! I provide attentive and loving care to keep your fur-babies routine rolling. Your pup will have my full attention and care to keep their tail wagging!
“Erika was amazing! She was able to help me when I needed someone very last minute. She stayed with my dog and made sure to send me updates and photos all week. A bonus was that she left my apartment so clean when she left you could hardly tell anyone was there. I would highly recommend her!”

“Mary was great with our 7 month old cockapoo, Brew. He’s full of energy in the morning and she did great taking him on lots of long walks and also spending time hanging out at the house. She also left the house in very very clean/tidy condition which was so nice of her. Would definitely recommend.”

“Had Maddy stay at our house and take care of the cats while away for 10 days. Communication was excellent! Cats were well taken care of the given plenty of love! I highly recommend her!”

“Nicole is great! I needed last minute overnight help over a holiday weekend and Nicole was about to accommodate my request. She shared lots of pictures during the 24 hr period.”

“Sydney is a fantastic dog sitter! She was responsive and responsible with caring for our dog and our home! We give her our highest recommendation and would absolutely hire her again!”

“Allison was great with our toy golden doodle! Milly loved her. Allison was right on time, was in touch with us, and took great care of Milly. We will definitely call her again!”

“Dana helped me out in a last-minute situation and was extremely easy to work with. My dog took to her immediately because of her cheerful, energetic style. I hope to find more opportunities to work with Dana!”

“I’m so grateful for the care Paul took of my dog and my home the last five days. He is responsive and proactive and fantastic with my 65 pound, relatively energetic pup. This was Paul’s second time watching my pet and I highly recommend his services.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine joy and care I bring into every pet’s life. I’m a bubbly, cheerful person with a big heart for animals, and I truly love getting to know each pet as an individual. I’m very attentive to their specific needs, routines, and personalities, so they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can fully trust me to care for your pet as if they were my own family. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have also volunteered at animal shelters, where I worked with animals of all kinds of personalities — playful, energetic, shy, anxious, and senior pets. Those experiences taught me patience, adaptability, and how important it is to meet animals where they are. I’ve genuinely grown to love every single animal I’ve cared for. I pride myself on being reliable, detail-oriented, and compassionate, whether that means sticking to routines, giving extra cuddles, providing enrichment and playtime, or offering calm companionship. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy, secure, and loved — and to give you total peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work and study from home. This allows me to be very flexible and available throughout the day to check in on pets, spend quality time with them, and give them the attention they deserve. I’m able to plan my schedule around their needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just quiet companionship. Because I’m home most of the time, I can be very attentive and responsive — I’m not rushing in and out or leaving pets alone for long periods. I truly enjoy building time into my day to play, cuddle, and care for animals, and I always make sure their routines are followed closely. Providing consistent, loving care is something I take seriously, and having this flexibility allows me to care for pets to the fullest extent and give pet parents peace of mind. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are respect, trust, and consistency. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the pet parent, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, routines, and any special preferences their pet may have. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I am extremely respectful of my clients’ homes, space, and privacy, and I treat every home as if it were my own. When meeting pets for the first time, I always enter calmly and gently so they don’t feel startled or overwhelmed. I take time to let each pet warm up to me at their own pace and focus on building a healthy, loving bond based on trust. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. By combining clear communication, attention to detail, and lots of love, I ensure pets receive the highest level of care and pet parents feel completely at ease.
“Anastasia is great! She is communicative, trustworthy, and even brought in a package for me. We could see through photos that Mocha loved Anastasia’s company and we knew she was being really well taken care of while we were away.”

“Miranda was great! She watched them in our home while we were gone for the day. We scheduled a meet and greet beforehand which was good so the dogs could get to know her. Our dogs can be reactive sometimes so she was very attentive to their behavior and reported no major issues. She seems comfortable with all kinds of dogs since she works in a vet clinic. Would book again!”

Emma was amazing, she took such great care of our dog while my wife and I were out of town for over a week. She was a great communicator & always kept us up to date on any happenings. Our house was clean when we got back and our dog was happy! Would definitely use her again!

Gabriela was amazing this weekend! My dog was having an upset stomach and she was so attentive and communicative with me. She offered to help in any way she could. He definitely was much more work because of this and she was so nice about everything. Highly recommend her!

Kelly was amazing taking care of our two cats. She took the time to win their trust even though they can be shy. Her calm and enthusiastic manner was perfect. One of our cats has chronic health issues and she was comfortable managing them. She also sent updates and videos to keep us informed. Highly recommend!

Amanda was great. She came for a meet and greet with Cosmo before the planned sitting and was super accommodating when our plans had to change. Cosmo also got an upset stomach while she was watching him but she was extremely communicative and helpful while we were out.

Georgia was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats, who seemed to warm up to her so quickly. We got so so many photos and updates which we absolutely loved, she was so attentive letting us know how they were doing and if there was anything she noticed out of the ordinary. And to top it off, when our care fell through for the second half of our trip, Georgia was able to help out with a last minute booking and that was so reassuring to us. I would 100% recommend booking Georgia for your pets, they will be LOVED and cared for!!
