“Thomas has the heart of a gentle giant and my sweet Irish setter is so happy when I get home, which tells me he has taken superb care of her. He's great at getting her to go to the potty, even when she's a little bit stubborn, and she enjoys his pets, brushes and biscuits. He communicates thoughtfully and thoroughly, so it's super easy to work with him. Highly recommend!”
“Zeynep does an excellent job walking our dog, Mischa! She is very timely and sends us lots of photos. We are so grateful and would recommend her services!”
“Holly was great from the initial meetup when she provided me dog friendly cafes, a new dog park to visit and she is a blessing to fill a gap in my dog walking and dog visiting coverage. She is patient and extremly caring.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs ranging in size from toy poodles to labs and greyhounds. Currently, I look after two delightfully friendly rescues with very different personalities, aged 5 and 6. Training them has been a valuable experience, teaching me the importance of leading with confidence and compassion. I work in fine dining on an afternoon/evening schedule, so I am available every day until 3pm. Aside from caring for my own dogs, I will happily spend the rest of my mornings going on walks and playing with your pups! I maintain a very active lifestyle and bring lots of energy to my work with dogs. I walk my two pups (one large and the other small/medium sized) at the same time and give them plenty of time to explore when we go outside. When I meet new dogs, I observe their personality traits and work to build trust through careful attention and clear, friendly guidance. I am gentle by nature but strict and supportive in my handling. I believe in keeping a steady routine and know that every dog will have a unique set of needs and abilities that shape the nature of the support I provide. In my spare time, I also enjoy drawing and painting. I’ve done many pet portraits in the past and would be honored to take commissions for your pet!
About: I’ve had dogs for 16 years and currently care for a cat I’ve had for eight. I know how important pets are to a family and understand the challenges of juggling life while making sure they’re loved, safe, and well cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to support pets with special needs, including seniors. I currently have full availability to care for your pets throughout the week. Whether it’s daytime walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I can adjust to fit your needs. Weekdays and weekends included. I have a calm, pet-friendly home with a relaxed environment and plenty of space for your cat or dog to feel safe and comfortable. I understand the importance of routines, clear communication, and trust when caring for someone else’s pet and I treat each one like my own.
“Patrick has been a tremendous help with my dog’s midday walk. He is reliable, shows up even when it is raining, and gives me helpful updates so I know what has happened on the walk. Definitely recommend him.”
“My pup loves her! She is amazing at keeping me updated with notes and pictures and is just all around great at communicating- wether it be about my pup or scheduling. Carrie is, and will continue to be my go to daily sitter”
About: DISCOUNT on first visit. I have had pets my whole life growing up in a small farm. We currently have a small dog and 2 cats. I’m experienced with working with all ages of pets including senior pets with special needs. I’m also experienced in delivering medicine if needed. always had cats and dogs. Pets are family and I’m happy to take good care of yours. I’m available to help on my days off - weekends, holidays and the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month (some variation may occur on Fridays) I tailor my pet care and training to the personality of the pet. Having grown up with animals, I know how to read a pets personality and adjust to their needs. If you are working on a specific training or skill, I can make sure to reinforce that during my time with your pet.

About: Hi everyone, Its Jordan and my fiancé Laure. We are life long dog owners and lovers! No dogs here with us but Jaxon the staffordshire terrier and Chief the miniature pinscher are my mom’s dogs that we love to have over when we aren't boarding other dogs. Jax and Chief enjoy long walks, lots of fetch, and big ol’ bowls of water of course! We always make sure to get a good training on our walks to reinforce good habits! :) When we’re not with Jaxon and Chief, we love to meet other ones. Old or young, fast or slow, your pet is welcome here. :) Between the two of us, someone is always home. Never more than 3-4 hours max away if need be so your pup is in great hands. We make sure to accommodate each owner and pet to best suit their needs. Special care is always taken for elderly and/or easily spooked pets and plenty of walks and sniffs for the more energetic! Daily feeding and walks are planned around our daily schedules so flexibility is a breeze!
“Peter has been so great with my dog Milo! He has a history of anxiety and is not always great with other dogs, but Peter has been so patient with him despite his quirks! I look forward to continue booking him for future care needs :)”

Erica L.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Erica as a pet sitter. She is one of the most caring and responsible people I know, and her love for animals truly shines through in everything she does. She has both a dog named Bella and a cat named Fancy, and she treats them like true members of the family — always attentive, loving, and patient. She understands that every pet has their own personality and needs, and she takes the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s keeping pets on a routine, going for walks, playing, or just being there for company and cuddles, Erica always goes the extra mile. She used to care for my cat, Otto, and he absolutely loves her — which says a lot, because he’s usually pretty picky about people! If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets like they’re her own, you can trust Erica completely. Bella and Fancy are lucky to have her — and your pets will be too!”

Cindy B.
“Cindy watched our tri-paw kitty Fiona many times over the years. As a longtime cat owner, Cindy is very knowledgeable and always did an excellent job of engaging with Fiona. I always felt Fiona was well taken care of and pampered! Cindy also helped me out in an emergency when a mass was detected and had to be removed immediately; my trip overseas conflicted and Cindy agreed to take Fiona to the vet for the procedure. I was beyond grateful for this extra support that allowed me not to delay the surgery. I can't recommend Cindy enough if you are considering a compassionate, seasoned pet owner to help out with your cat or dog while you are away!”
