“Amazing sitter! My babies (she watched my rat terrier pup and holland lop bunny) aren’t used to new people in the apartment all the time, plus we just moved so new space. Stephanie took the time to make sure they were not only properly cared for with all the weird things that come with pets, but they quickly came to feel comfy around, love, and look forward to her visits I could tell! Would love her to sit anytime!”
“I’m very happy that I found Melissa! She was very gentle and kind with my beloved cat, she spent the entire time of her visit with him, sent me detailed update and cute pictures! Really appreciate her help and for sure will book her service again! Also very pleasant communication with her! Definitely can recommend Melissa!”
About: I am an animal lover with years of experience taking care of dogs and cats. I have taken care of dogs in all shapes and sizes ranging from small guys to big pure bred Akita's. I currently work part time and have a very flexible schedule to work with. Morning and afternoon walks are my ideal time of day but will work with any schedule. I do not offer dog boarding or sitting at the moment but take the upmost care of pets on walks. Your pets safety and enjoyment is my number one priority.
“Jill was amazing! She followed the instructions for our cats perfectly and it gave us a lot of peace of mind while away. Sent plenty of pictures - would definitely book again!”
“I was so worried about Simon but I came back from a 3week vacation and he was wonderful. I know this is because Alison took such good care of him. She was awesome. I would completely recommend her.”
“Very understanding and accommodating! I had an issue with a door code while out of town and she was able to work with me to fix it. Would highly recommend and use again when needed.”
“Becca was a wonderful sitter for Zuko! She helped address some issues that arose during the visit and was mindful the entire week of his needs and potential items to mention to me. I felt fully aware of what was happening with my kid while out of town, and truly appreciate her attention to detail! 10/10 would recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs :)”
“Absolutely wonderful sitter! Very thorough and even took the time to bond and play with our timid cat! Sent tons of photos and videos letting us know when/if our cat was eating/drinking/playing.”
“Olivia was a great cat sitter! She took great care of our cat, gave him lots of attention and followed all our care requests. We will certainly be booking with her again!”
“Tabby is absolutely wonderful. My pups and kitty had a lovely time with her. I could tell they were really comfortable while I was gone. She has watched them multiple times at this point and I will definitely be booking her for services again whenever I am headed out of town.”
“Emily took great care of our two cats while we were away. She was always in communication, giving updates and sending pictures, and went above and beyond when we asked for extra help with small items. We were very comfortable knowing that our cats were so well taken care of. We will definitely book with Emily again. Thank you!”
About: I grew up with plenty of dogs in my family, and I was usually the designated dog sitter. All of my family and friends dogs grew up with me so I've delt with puppies and older dogs alike. I have watched dogs for months at a time and have enjoyed every last minute. I work a 9am-5pm from Mon-Fri so I am mostly busy then. I usually work from home the second half of the week so there is some flexibility on those days. But I have a completely open schedule Saturday and Sunday. If you do book for Fridays, please book drop off before 8:30am or after 2:00pm as I am meeting heavy during that time frame My apartment has a large grass yard for the dogs to play. I also love going on walks, so I am definitely willing to take them to parks. I own extra leashes, footies, beds, treats and other doggie essentials. If there are any concerns, I am willing to accommodate for dog.
“Molly watched Rocky & Daisy for me. She was great about being on time & walking them an extra distance to wear them out! One of the dogs was sick on the carpet and she took the time to clean it up & let me know. Greatly appreciated! I’ll be using her again to take care of my fur babies in the future!”
“Brooklyn did great taking care of my high energy dogs. Will be using her again in the future and would recommend her to those looking for someone to care for their fur babies.”

Spencer H.
“I have a German shepherd mix named Hazel. She is high energy still at 4 yrs old. Spencer has been great with her. He has walked her numerous times over the years. He is caring and attentive to her needs while understanding that she is a challenge to walk. He is able to manage her with no issues. He uses the commands that she has learned and follows the rules for her at all times. He is great with dogs! I would highly recommend to him to anyone needing a walker or sitter.”

You won’t go wrong with Bradley.”
