“Juliette took care of our Lola while we were on vacation and she was so sweet to our anxious little bear. Would highly recommend! Very communicative.”

About: Hi, I’m Kush! I know that leaving your pet with someone new requires immense trust. For 16 years, I was the proud pet parent to my own beloved dog, navigating everything from playful puppyhood to the deeply sensitive needs of their senior years. This lifelong journey gave me a masterclass in canine care, but more importantly, it taught me how to love a pet like a member of the family. I am incredibly compassionate, deeply caring, and completely selfless when it comes to animals. To be honest, I will gladly put a dog’s comfort and needs before my own—or any other human being's, for that matter! I focus heavily on bringing warm, positive vibes into every interaction to create a completely stress-free, happy, and safe atmosphere for your pup. When your dog is with me, they aren't just being "watched"—I build a genuine bond and treat them exactly like my own child. Because of my extensive 16-year personal history, I am highly experienced in: 💊 Medical Administration: I am completely comfortable and precise with administering daily oral medications, supplements, or managing specific chronic medical routines. 🍳 Custom & Specialized Diets: If your pup requires home-cooked meals, I am well-versed in exact food prep—including boiling fresh chicken, cutting up sweet potatoes, and following strict allergen-free recipes. 🐕 Behavioral Awareness & Connection: While I am not a commercially certified trainer, my years of hands-on experience have made me a keen observer of canine body language. I intuitively know when a dog needs a potty break, a calming presence, or simply an extra round of affection. Whether we are out on a structured neighborhood walk, practicing gentle manners, or enjoying a fresh, warm meal, your dog will receive the exact same fierce dedication, safety, and love that I gave my own companion for nearly two decades. I can't wait to meet your furry family member and welcome them into my heart! :) I am fully available for weekend house sitting, and I also welcome weekday overnights depending on my current schedule, provided clients can give me at least a 2-day notice to ensure proper planning. A Relationship Built on Trust & Kindness I treat my clients like close friends and family members because I believe in building deep, lasting relationships. Guided by core values of honesty, loyalty, and kindness, I care for your pups with the same gentle devotion that I would give my own child. Your pet gets to stay completely comfortable in their familiar environment, surrounded by dedicated love and attention. Honesty, Rules, and Respect for Your Home I am as honest as they come, and I believe firmly in respecting and abiding by your household rules. I will treat your home with the exact same care and respect as if it were my own. Whatever boundaries, routines, or specific instructions you have, I will strictly follow them to ensure your home remains safe, secure, and exactly how you left it. Rx & Custom Diet Safety Safety is my highest priority, especially for pups with complex needs. I am fully experienced in managing custom diets and administering Rx medications accurately and on time. Because a great partnership relies on absolute transparency, I will keep you connected with honest, frequent updates and photos so you never have to worry.

“Lindsay was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our pets and our home while we were away for an extended trip. From the very beginning, she stood out as incredibly thorough, experienced, and responsible. She took our meet-and-greet seriously, asked thoughtful and detailed questions, and made sure she understood our pets’ routines, personalities, needs, and all of the little details of caring for our home before we left. She was also exceptionally prompt in her responses and proactive in her communication. We never had to wonder how things were going or reach out repeatedly for updates; Lindsay took the initiative to keep us informed throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. Her communication made it very clear that she is an experienced sitter who understands how important it is for pet owners to feel connected and reassured while they are away. Throughout the stay, Lindsay gave us every confidence that our pets were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. It was obvious that she took the time to learn their individual routines and personalities rather than simply going through the motions. She was attentive to the details we had discussed and treated their care with the same level of thoughtfulness and responsibility she showed during our initial meeting. She was equally respectful and attentive with our home. We returned to everything clean, organized, and very well cared for, along with happy and relaxed pets. Coming home after a long trip and immediately being able to see how thoughtfully everything had been looked after was such a relief. Most importantly, Lindsay gave us genuine peace of mind from beginning to end. Her thoroughness, responsiveness, initiative, and clear experience made it easy to trust that our pets and home were in excellent hands. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust Lindsay to house sit for us again. We would recommend her without hesitation!”

“Boning was a great sitter for our two dogs! She gave us daily updates with lots of photos, made sure our picky eater was actually eating and she kept our home in great shape! I would absolutely recommend Boning to anyone looking for overnight in home care.”

“Ariauna was so great with my rescue pup (who can be a little shy) and I could tell from all the pictures she sent that he really warmed up to her! She is very easy to communicate with and sent me updates that I greatly appreciated as it was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. She also left my apartment in much better shape than she found it! I am very happy with everything and I know my dog is excited to see her again next time :)”

“Andrea was terrific. She was very easy to work with. She took great care of Scout and was a great guest in our home. I will absolutely use her again.”

“Ashlee is the best! I was so happy when I saw she was available such last minute since she has raving reviews, and now I know why! She was so sweet and patient with Chanel, even when Chanel was anxious and scared and a little nippy. She sent constant updates with pictures which was so reassuring especially since it was our first time leaving her. She was super responsive, attentive and communicative. She house sat and left the place cleaner than it was before we left it. I will definitely be rebooking her!”

“She took excellent care of my dog!”

“Adrian took excellent care of our pup over a long weekend. He sent us plenty of pics and updates throughout, which we really appreciated since this was our first time leaving our doggo. Adrian was super communicative and thoughtful leading up to, during, and after his time petsitting. He made sure Plum got lots of exercise and attention while we were away, and our home looked pristine when we got back. We’ll definitely want to work with Adrian again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a great petsitter!”

“Marcy was absolutely excellent! She was incredibly kind, professional, and kept us updated throughout our trip with plenty of messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. She followed all of our instructions carefully, including giving medication with meals to one of our dogs, and everything was handled perfectly. When we got home, it was obvious our dogs had been well cared for. They were happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time. The house was spotless too. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Marcy again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and have walked them for two years. I make sure they have a safe fun time. My schedule is pretty open so I am guaranteed to make sure your pet is well taken care of and having a fun safe time. In clients home I make sure that gates are closed to backyard. Make sure they aren’t getting into anything they aren’t supposed to be in.

“Audrey took great care of my dog, spent time playing with her, and made sure she got outside and exercised. She was also able to accommodate a same-day request when I was in a pinch, which was very helpful and much appreciated. Overall, a positive experience.”

“Paige and her husband were the sweetest dog sitters, took our Nora for a walk by the reservoir and I can tell our dog had a great time! Thank you Paige!”

About: I’ve had my own pets since I was born- cats, dogs, fish, gerbils and Guinea pigs- and am comfortable caring for all! In middle school, I’d sit for my next door neighbor’s dog, a loveable golden retriever named Kaze. I walked him daily and stayed with him when they’d travel. I quickly became the go-to sitter for other friends and family members throughout the years. In college I had my own first particularly challenging pet, a Jack Russel named Rudy, who opened my eyes to the importance of training and routine with dogs. I’ve been a bit of a cat lady over the past decade, taking in a variety of cats in need and helping them live out their best lives. I’ve gained a special appreciation for the nuance often required with our elderly pals. 😉 I currently live with my partner, our two dogs, Chi Chi (4) and Benji (10), and our old curmudgeonly cat Toonces (18), who is treated like royalty. I take more photos of them than I’d like to admit and will take lots of your pet too. I also spend lots of time with Ralph, my dad’s 8 year old dog, practicing his social skills and snuggling. My approach with pet sitting is similar to my approach with humans - I believe it is important for us to get to know each other in order to build a trusting relationship. I have significant experience caring for aging cats and dogs, direct experience caring for a young kitten in heat, and some experience looking after puppies. Don't hesitate to reach out...I look forward to having as much fun with your pet as I know they’ll have with me! I am between corporate jobs at the moment I am hoping to build up my list of pet sitting clients while I reflect on what's next for me. I love animals and spending my time caring for pets brings me lots of joy. I’d love a regular morning, afternoon, and/or evening walking partner and am open to discussing extended sitting opportunities. I believe building trust with you and your pet is the most important thing. This starts with approaching your pet with genuine care. I am an expert at following complex instructions and will want to understand your and their needs in order to tailor my approach. I am also comfortable and experienced with crating, and keeping pets separate within the home if needed. And there could be an opportunity for play dates with my sweet pups, if the fit is right.

About: I’ve shared my home with dogs and cats my entire life, rescuing pets of all ages from energetic youngsters to sweet seniors. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has a unique story, and I make it a priority to train every pet I bring into my home. This hands-on experience has taught me a massive amount about patience, adaptability, and animal behavior. More than anything, it has given me a deep sense of compassion and a real knack for connecting with animals. I love bringing that structure and care to their lives, and I'm excited to bring that same dedication to this role. I offer in-home pet care tailored to your pet's exact schedule. I work full-time at a school, I am available for quick drop-ins on weekday evenings. I have open availability on weekends to give your pet all the time and attention they need. I offer personalized in-home pet sitting and drop-in check-ins tailored to your pet's unique needs. Your pet's comfort is my top priority, which is why I strictly follow their established feeding and exercise to maintain their normal routine while you are away.
