I had never utilized this app before so I was very scared at first but Sally made everything seamless. Very happy to have picked her to take care of my babies considering that cats are not the same as dogs. She immediately connected with them and I felt at easy while being away. She sent us pictures and updates every single day and was always quick to respond.

Megan was great! Very consistent with care for my cats, always on time and it was clear that my cats were comfortable while I was away! I would definitely rebook! She also took out my trash for me to make sure my house wasn’t smelly from cat food :) I appreciated her being responsive and being great for my cats!

About: I’m a veterinarian with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and needs. I studied at the University of Florida and went on to complete a rotating specialty internship at Cornell, where I gained advanced training in emergency and specialty care. I’m currently in an ophthalmology specialty training program, so I’m especially attentive to subtle changes in pets’ comfort, vision, and overall health. I truly love working with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing a little extra patience, or a pet with medical needs, I provide thoughtful, attentive, and safe care. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring ongoing conditions, and recognizing early signs of illness-giving you extra peace of mind while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your pets, and I’m committed to clear communication, reliability, and making sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I work full-time as a veterinary ophthalmology specialty trainee from 8am–5pm on weekdays. Outside of those hours, I’m fully available and very attentive to the pets in my care. I’m available for evenings, overnight stays, and weekends, and I’m happy to provide consistent care for multi-day bookings. Because of my veterinary background and over 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable managing pets with a wide range of needs and ensuring they’re closely monitored when I’m with them. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m trained to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately. I’m comfortable administering medications, other treatments, and caring for pets with medical needs. In your home, I strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and will follow all care instructions closely. I also prioritize clear communication, providing regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

About: I've had animals all my life including cats, dogs, fish, and lizards.

About: I have dog sitted for close friends and work colleagues during graduate school.

I am currently a pharmacy resident and work mainly during the weekdays from 7am-5pm and work every other weekend starting this upcoming July. My availability for June is open during the afternoons and most early morning for weekdays and open on weekends! I make a point to follow instructions to a T, and if there are opportunities to go above and beyond, I will do so. If dog sitting, I make sure to give the utmost attention to your pet while also meeting your expectations. As for house sitting, I like to treat a home as if it were my own: tidy and organized.

About: I love animals. With over 30 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, animals have been a central part of my life since childhood. I started walking dogs in middle school as my very first job, and I’ve never stopped loving it! I’ve raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood, so I understand the patience and consistency needed during those early stages. I currently care for my own dogs, I love them and they are my best friends and 100% part of our family. I have experience with senior pets who require medication, as well as rescue dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding due to anxiety or feeding concerns. I’m reliable, calm, and deeply dedicated to each pet’s unique needs. I am open to most pets and have had hamsters, birds, fish, frogs, turtles, lizards, hermit crabs, etc over the years! As an elementary school staff member, I have my summers off—giving me the time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care for your furry family members. My schedule is very flexible this summer! I work in an elementary school during the school year, so I'm off for the summer months. Other than occasionally carpooling my son to camp, my days are wide open and I'm available to accommodate a variety of pet care needs I prefer to care for dogs in their own home so they stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure, especially when their routine changes. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your dog’s specific needs

Abby truly can do it all!!! She always is so attentive and caring towards my animals. I have had her do drop ins for my senior dog and puppy (in all the puppy stages) when I’m away. She can handle it all from my older Belly’s seizure meds, incontinence, and picky eating habits to Xany’s crazy pup energy, always wanting walks and cuddles and playtime. Abby is communicative and sends lots of cute pics of her visits which gives me peace of mind and joy. My older dog also isn’t really a people person, but she likes Abby and feels safe with her which is the most important. Beyond grateful that Abby lives nearby our home <3
