“Jennifer is absolutely amazing and we are so lucky to have found her! She is so nice, accommodating, patient, and attentive. Our timid rescue boy is slowly but surely warming up to her and we could not be more grateful!”


“Jeffrey takes great care of our pup, Tia. We used him for visits and walks prior to our most recent week vacation. We recently went away for a week and Jeffrey stayed at our home. He followed any/all directions we had left for our dog and kept us in the loop daily when we checked in. We trust him to stay in our home and take great care of our dog. Our dog is typically anxious and when we got home from our trip, we saw that Tia ate very well while we were gone which is sometimes a struggle when we leave her. We were very happy with her care. We look forward to continuing to use Jeffrey for future trips and daily walks.”


“Samantha is fantastic, she has a gift. My dog is a senior, with difficulty walking and we have to pick her up to get on the sofa, the bed and the stairs, and she did everything with great care. She sent me photos and messages all the time. I will definitely hire her again when I need. to take care my dog. I highly recommend her.”

About: Hi, I’m Arieh — a lifelong animal lover and your pet’s next favorite human! With a background as a strength & conditioning coach, I’m fully equipped to handle dogs of all sizes — from tiny terriers to giant breeds with serious pull-power. But my real strength? Loving care. I grew up surrounded by pets — dogs, ferrets, goats, birds, fish — and I bring years of hands-on experience to every animal I meet. I’m especially experienced with senior pets, puppies, and pets facing health challenges, including giving medications and providing extra patience and TLC. Plus, as an amateur photographer, I’ll keep you updated with adorable, high-quality photos — because you shouldn’t have to miss a single happy tail wag or goofy smile while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or feathered!) family member! Pet care fits beautifully into my daily life! I run my own e-commerce business and work remotely, which means I set my own schedule and have the flexibility to adjust my days around pet care — including accommodating last-minute bookings. I’m currently single and love staying active, so taking pets on walks or spending time with them throughout the day feels like a natural, joyful part of my routine. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or some quality cuddle time, I’m happy to make sure your pet’s needs are met with love and attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When I care for pets in your home, I do everything I can to maintain their normal routine — from feeding schedules to walk times, play, and rest — so they feel secure and at ease while you’re away. I’m respectful of your space, tidy, and always leave things as I found them (or better!). I pay close attention to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means giving medication, monitoring energy levels, or offering extra patience and affection for senior pets or puppies. You can expect regular updates and photos from me, so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing.

About: I’ve always enjoyed spending time with animals and I have over 5 years of experience caring for my own cats, and hands-on experience with small to medium- sized dogs. I am comfortable with basic care routine like feeding , walking, and playtime, and I enjoy learning each pet’s unique personality I offer both drop-ins and in-home pet sitting. Since I work remotely full-time, I am flexible with when I can come over to care for your pets I care for pets by creating a calm, safe environment. I understand the importance of routine, gentle handling, and observing subtle behavior changes to ensure pets are happy and healthy.

“Marcella’s mom, Ivana, stayed at our home with our dog for several days and nights. She is a wonderful, warm person and I was comfortable with her immediately. She was great with CiCi (our loving-but-stubborn 70-lb hound pup) and gave her lots of exercise and attention. She kept in touch with us daily and sent photos and status reports 💜 Amazing capable dog/house-sitter, hope to work with her again!”


“Kelsey was awesome with our two dogs (both under 3) Sadie the lab and Charlotte the King Charles! Kelsey worked right through a power outage and as a result my family had a terrific vacation worry free!”


“Courtney watched Ollie in our home during our holiday break. She was punctual, reliable and sent updates with pictures during her stay. We came home to a clean house and a happy pup.”



“Violeta has been sitting both of our Dobermans for a couple years now whenever we’re away for the day. This time we asked her to watch our older girl for a week while we were out of town. She came by 4x a day to feed, let out and spend time with our dog. Everything went super smoothly and she followed our directions no problem — she even checked our mail and brought in packages for us. We are so grateful to have someone nearby who can watch our pup for a few days when we’re out of town. Thanks Violeta!”

Jessica M.
“Jess has the sweetest soul ever! My dog immediately gravitated towards her when she first met him. He’s a large dog and jumps with new people he likes which scares some, but she stepped right into his standing hug and showed him the most love! I would trust her with my dog any day! She showed how much she cared for him within the first thirty seconds of meeting him. I’ve never worried about him when he’s with her- she takes care of everything asked and more! She’s the best dog walker out there!”


ARIEH H.
“Arieh is so sweet with my pup. From the minute I walked in, I could see how loved and cared-for Teddy had been—he was so happy and relaxed. The photos he sent were absolutely stunning; people even asked me if I’d hired a professional dog photographer! It’s clear Arieh goes above and beyond to capture every joyful moment. If you want your pet to feel truly cherished (and get frame-worthy shots to prove it), book Arieh—you and your furry friend will be thrilled!”
