“Patrick blew my expectations out of the water. He was absolutely fantastic. On time, courteous and friendly. I hope he is willing and available if we need cover in the future. Amazing!”
“Marley is amazing. She is prompt, reliable and communicative. I felt so at ease knowing my dog was in good hands and getting some great exercise. While he’s normally a bowling ball of energy when I get home from work, he’s so much more relaxed after his walks with Marley.”
“Celeste was great! Our dogs loved her and she was so flexible with our schedules and such that it made our experience seamless. I was so grateful that she was so in tune with dogs and mannerisms. Our dogs can be timid at times with new people and Celeste was able to allow them to come to her in a way that made them comfortable with her almost immediately. I will without a doubt be booking with Celeste again!”
About: Hi! My name is Kiana, thank you for considering my profile. I have experience working with cats and dogs of various breeds, sizes and histories. I grew up with two small dogs and a rescue kitty. I am available to provide frequent potty breaks, treats and walks for your pet while you are away. Please reach out with any questions or concerns. I look forward to caring for your pet and learning more about their specific needs. I currently work a hybrid schedule going into the office on an as needed basis. I am available in the evenings M-F and all day Saturday and Sunday. Your pet’s safety remains my top priority. I look forward to discussing your specific pet’s needs and history prior to my first visit to ensure they feel safe and supported.
About: When I was 10 I moved with my family and my neighbors had two Rottweilers that terrified me so much that I had to cross the street to walk by their house. One day I went up to my neighbor and asked to meet them and they ended up becoming my best friends in the neighborhood, and I would feed and walk them every-time my neighbors went out of town. Ever since then I have loved dogs no matter how big or scary, and have taken care of pets for my friends and family, from little cocker spaniels to German shepherds and everywhere in between. I am currently in the midst of a job search, so my availability is open to look after and pets for the time being. I have spent a lot of time this year pet/housesitting for my parents and a few of my friends. I currently do not have any pets at my home since I have a studio apartment with not a lot of space, but I have reliable transportation and I live close to a few parks, beaches, and woods where I take dogs that I am looking after. I’m good about sticking to scheduled walk and meal times and am a fairly active person so your dog will get plenty of exercise!

Your home and pets will always be taken care of while I’m there. I enjoy nature so walking and hiking are apart of my daily life. Your pups will always get walked for the time you recommend.

About: Caring for pets has always been more than just a job for me—it's a passion. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From playful puppies learning their first commands to senior dogs needing extra patience and care, I understand the unique attention each stage of life requires. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and routine so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m experienced with basic puppy training, leash manners, and crate training. For older pets, I provide gentle, attentive support—whether that means administering medication, helping with mobility, or simply offering lots of love and companionship. I believe communication is key, so I always keep pet parents updated with photos and notes to ensure peace of mind while you're away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I work in IT from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I can easily fit their needs into my daily routine. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space—and your pet—with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or house rules, to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free. I understand how important trust is when someone enters your home, and I always communicate clearly, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you feel at ease while you're away. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate special requests or routines to help them feel secure. Whether your dog needs quiet companionship, active playtime, or just a calm presence while you're gone, I provide reliable, loving care every time.
“Maria was right on time and made friends with our dogs immediately. We felt very comfortable with her taking the dogs on a walk right away. Dogs had a great time. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve never been able to have pets as I lived in an apartment that didn’t allow any. But I’ve always had a soft spot for them. I’ve taken care of a particular frenchie for days at a time and it’s my absolute favorite thing to do!! I’m currently a third year psychology & cognitive science student and I was looking for a side job that’ll keep me active and distracted from studies for bit in the day!! I was brought up to be very respectful to all and any, that includes homes I’m being invited to as well. I make sure to leave everything as is and I’ve had the opportunity to stay at someone’s house multiple times in order to care for their dog.
“I have asked Mary Ann to help with the care of our family dog twice now and both times she was responsive with booking, cleaning up an accident inside the house, giving meds and showing up in time frames requested. We are really grateful for her help and service.”

About: I have had dogs and pets in all different sizes throughout my life. This includes a teacup Poodle all the way to a Newfoundland. My own dog has completed the Canine Good Citizenship test.

Jacob T.
“Jacob is hands down the biggest dog lover I have ever met. I think he might be part dog himself! My 4 year old beagle stayed with Jacob for a week while I was out of town and received so much attention, exercise, and doting that I would almost say he was disappointed to leave. It's great knowing I have a reliable pet sitter in town who treats my pup like the king he is. If you want piece of mind while traveling and lots of pet pictures, let Jacob take care of them next time!”

He has been taught to respect these athletes as though they are humans, not something less.

Uladzimir S.
“I've been having Vlad care for my German Shepherd (2.5yo) one night a week, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. My dog can be a bit particular, but he took the time to understand his needs and routine right from the start. Every time I return, I find my dog relaxed, well-exercised, and clearly happy. I highly recommend Vlad to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.”

JKathleen W.
“I can't recommend JKathleen (Tanner) enough as a pet sitter and dog walker. She took care of my two dogs—Max, a lovable but energetic Border Collie, and Bella, my sweet and slightly shy Labrador Retriever—and I was blown away by how well she handled them. Max is always on the go, and Bella can be a little hesitant around new people, but Tanner took the time to connect with both of them. She instantly made them feel at ease with her calm and gentle nature. Throughout the time she spent with them, I received regular updates with adorable photos and messages. It was clear that Tanner went above and beyond to ensure Max and Bella had a great time, whether it was going for a run in the park or enjoying a calm cuddle session. Her attention to their individual personalities and needs was truly impressive. Tanner’s love for animals shines through in everything she does. She’s responsible, caring, and truly treats pets like her own. If you want someone who will take great care of your furry family members, I wholeheartedly recommend Tanner.”
