“Elvia was excellent with our mini-goldendoodle who doesn’t like most sitters. She played with him and sent us great photos. She is dependable and asked a lot of questions that showed she cared about our pet. We definitely use her again!”


“Heather took great care of our pup! She was very responsive, provided frequent and detailed updates, and was incredibly patient with Zozo who can be shy at first. She also left our apartment spotless. We will definitely use her for future dog sitting.”


About: I've babysat for my aunts and grandparents dogs over the years. I love animals so much and hope to have plenty of them in the future! So I'm looking to get as much experience with all breeds as possible! I'm currently unemployed which means I'll have tons of availability and free-time to give your pets the best care possible! I also have a rotating sleep schedule so I'm usually available for all different times I take care of pets by keeping a close eye on them and consistently checking in on what they might need. With 3 pets of my own I'm used to constantly checking water, scheduled feedings, and making sure they get plenty of exercise

“Alyssa is absolutely wonderful with my pup Miley. She's watched her a few times and she always works around my schedule which is so appreciated! I receive picture updates and know she's in great hands with Alyssa. Thank you!”


“Raquel was more than we could have hoped for. She is kind and professional, caring for our two dogs for five days/four nights at our home. She sent so many photos of them eating, playing, and sleeping, and kept in communication with us the entire time. She is perfect! FIVE STARS!!!!!”


“Wendy did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs - and my home - while we were gone for two weeks. She followed instructions about their different dietary needs, and took them to local parks for longer walks. Both dogs can be a bit anxious, but they got so much love and attention from Wendy and were calm and happy when we got home. I would highly recommend Wendy and will certainly use her again!”


“Nicole is a pro! She is calm and caring and my dogs were happy and relaxed. She is a very good communicator in planning a stay and during the stay. We had a good meet and greet and she kept in touch every day while I was away. She listened carefully to all details for meds and other needs. She took such good care of the dogs and my home. I will definitely recontact her in future and highly recommend her as a pet and house sitter.”


“So happy with Alexandra! She sent regular updates with photos and videos and our little Kiwi was very well taken care of! We will definitely book her again soon!”


“Jess was wonderful! She came very last minute to our home to take our dog out three times on Thanksgiving, and saved our own holiday as we had to leave for an entire day, and would never leave our dog alone for so many hours. Thank you Jess for being so dedicated and flexible!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14 and I love it. Having 2 dogs of my own I know what it’s like to find quality pet care so I like to provide families with the relief of knowing their four-legged baby is being well taken care of! Through my experiences, I’ve learned how to be attentive to dogs cries, whines, whimpers, etc. and body language which helps me make sure they get what they need. I’m currently a college student and am home for the summer. I work at the grocery store 3 days a week so during those hours I wouldn’t be at the house but other than that I will be there! I can’t leave during work but as my hours are short, it has not interfered with my ability to tend to the dogs! I work with each pet parent to make sure I have all the details of the pet’s schedule. In my home, pets are always viewed as members of our family. I believe that pets require the same love and attention that people do so that’s what I share with my clients as well!

“Cinthia was amazing. She stayed overnight with my dog at my apartment and was super attentive and sent lots of pictures. She left the apartment very clean and my dog very happy. Nothing but positive things to say.”


“Wonderful!! Katie is so kind and has the calmest demeanor. As soon as we did a meet and greet I felt so comfortable leaning my dog Sophie in her care. Katie provided photos and in depth updates so I had nothing to worry about! Great communicator and do easy to work with. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be using her again!”


About: The love and respect I’ll treat your furry family with is based on my expertise in Yale-trained Canine Cognition and Pet Therapy experience with Tails of Joy. As a remote policy analyst and consultant without a dog of my own, my availability is flexible enough to accommodate you and yours! Reach out when you’re in need of trusted care(: I care for dogs in both my home and my clients’ homes by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and routine. Whether I’m boarding, house sitting, doing drop-in visits, or walking, I make sure each dog receives personalized care based on their energy level, temperament, and any special instructions you provide. For boarding in my home, I create a calm, dog-friendly space with regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I maintain a clean, secure environment and follow your dog’s usual routine to help them feel at ease. For house sitting or drop-in visits, I respect your home and make sure your dog feels safe in their familiar surroundings. I follow feeding schedules, administer any medications if needed, and give them quality time and affection. During walks, I ensure your dog gets physical exercise and mental stimulation in a safe, controlled environment. I pay attention to leash manners, local weather, and your dog’s pace and preferences. No matter the service, I treat every dog like they’re my own—keeping you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pup is in good hands.

About: I've taken care of dogs which are german shepard and black lab and cats in the past. I taught them to walk to stand the door to let me know if they need to go outside. I'm currently homebody who is introverted, reading, and love to watch TV/movies. I am available to play, wash, feed, and take them outside to walk often. My one bedroom apartment is very neat and safe for pets to be in. I will look after them very well and great for cuddling. I do have a huge park across the street from my apartment which is great for walks and play.

“Alison watched our dog for the day and was very communicative and took care of all of his needs! This was her first time sitting for us and it was a bit of a last minute request - but we’ll definitely be booking her in the future!”


“Chloe stayed with our 2 dogs, Finn & Ally for 3 nights and did an amazing job! Ally is a rescue pup and very skittish, but Chloe was able to win her over! We also have 3 fish tanks and a newt that she took very good care of over the weekend. I highly recommend Chloe for anyone who needs a pet sitter! She is awesome!”


“Jessica was great with our Senior dog. She was prompt, followed all instructions. Most of all she really knows her stuff and seems to care about dogs. We came home to a happy pup and clean house. Will book Jessica again!”


“We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Janine provided while we were away. She was extremely responsive, kept us updated, and clearly has a natural way with animals—our dogs absolutely loved her. Not only did she take them on regular walks and play with them, but she also went above and beyond when both pups got sick during the stay. She handled everything with so much care and compassion, including cleaning up after them and making sure they were as comfortable as possible. It gave us so much peace of mind while traveling and made a huge difference knowing we had someone we could truly trust. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and loving sitter!”


“Maria made me feel so comfortable leaving my fur babies home during vacation. I could tell quickly they were doing great and probably had a little vacation of their own while I was out of town!”

10. kaitlin s.
“We have a 10YO Rhodesian mix and a 4 month old Great Dane. From the time we brought our first home, Kaitlin has been playful, loving, attentive and proud. In his later years, when she is home visiting, she is the first to jump in and help with his love and care and meds. In addition, she balances her time and attention between him and our new puppy. And I could not ask for a better partner with our new Dane. Her willingness to jump in and take over the new-parent responsibilities (crate training, feeding, outdoor time, sleep schedule, clean-up, etc.) highlights her love for dogs and a level of responsibility many of her peers haven’t reached yet.”
