“Emily is the most wonderful and loving pet sitter! She was kind enough to take care of our two cats over a week long period and everything from start to finish was perfect! She is friendly, communicative, and was great with our cats. I highly recommend her as a sitter and we plan to work with her again in the future :)”
“Morgan was great, Milo had initially a bit of a hard time adapting to new spaces but she was very very good at making him feel safe and at communicating with me throughout the time I was away. I just took him home and he is very relaxed and playful. I am very satisfied and will definitely book her again!”
“Lola loves her visits from Cameron. It took no time for Lola to warm up to her the first day. Cameron is very friendly and made me feel comfortable right away. She’s had animals all her life and clearly understands dogs, and shared a lot of her knowledge. I’ve used her several times in our first week.”
“We are so grateful to Tina for her help. She was quick to respond and sent updates and pics of her visits with our two kitties. We would recommend Tina to anyone looking for a reliable and professional sitter, and we will definitely use her again!”
“I would highly recommend Angela as a pet sitter. She is sweet, responsible, trustworthy & caring and took great care of the cats while we were away. We came back from vacation to all very happy animals!”
“Bruce took amazing care of our cat while we were on vacation. In addition to food/water, our cat required drop in visits twice daily for anti-seizure medication, which Bruce handled with ease. His constant communication, including many pictures, gave us peace of mind during our trip. Thank you Bruce!”
“We were so grateful to have Molly looking after our animal crew while we were on vacation! She sent daily updates, pictures, and we felt confident our pets were in good hands. Molly was reliable and communicative throughout the entire time we were away. We’d highly recommend Molly to anyone looking to have their animals taken care of!!”
“Aliesha is great! She’s prompt and professional, and took excellent care of my cats. She’s very detail oriented, and is always sure to ask questions to provide the best care. She was responsive to all my messages and quelled my worries while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Kira was a wonderful and responsible overnight caretaker for our beautiful cat Samantha during the 2024 holiday season. She communicated with us on a daily basis and even sent pictures. This allowed me to fully relax and enjoy my Christmas while we are away visiting family. Kira was very respectful of our home and the best part was knowing that our 19-year-old cat was in good hands. When we arrived home, Sam was sleeping soundly and seemed content, which illustrated to me that she felt relaxed and safe. I trust Kira and recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs.”
About: I’ve dog sat and walked for multiple families and cared for cats for 10+ years. I am looking to help local families with pet care I work fully remote and have a flexible schedule so I am able to assist in mornings, during the day, and evening regularly and consistently I have two cats at my apartment currently and have owned pets my entire life. For dogs or cats that I sit, I ensure a safe environment to meet every family’s needs
“Esmeralda was FANTASTIC. My husband and I were out of the country for 5 days and we were in need of care for our English bulldog and senior French bulldog. Esmeralda did an outstanding job of communicating, providing gentle care, timely visits multiple times a day, doling out medications, keeping the house clean, sending follow up photos and more. I will absolutely be booking her again and would recommend her to anyone who needs professional and compassionate care for their pets.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was little and have dog-sit for many people in the last 10 years! I absolutely love taking care of pets and allowing people’s minds to be at ease that they are receiving the best care. I currently work remotely from my home, which I share with my partner (who is also a pet lover). I am happy to board your pet in our residence or stay overnight and housesit for you, as well! I will make sure to respect your home and your pets’ schedules to ensure they get the best care while you’re away. Ground rules will be followed to a T. I do tend to spoil most pets I take care of.
“Claire was amazing, she went above and beyond for my bunny! My flight ended up getting canceled she was quick to respond and extremely reliable! I will definitely be using Claire in the future!”

Naomi is a fantastic pet sitter! She took care of my shy cat, Rio, and I was (literally) shocked to see photos/videos of her out and about and getting pets from Naomi! I felt at ease while traveling, knowing she was there for Rio and taking good care of her. I will absolutely be booking with Naomi again!
