Heather has been wonderful to work with. She’s been prompt, careful and communicative with her visits with my pet. She’s been able to have a warm relationship with my pet despite my cat’s shyness. I absolutely plan on rebooking visits with Heather in the future.

My cat usually becomes a little anxious when I’m away from home for more than a day but she loved Lauren so much that there was no anxiety detected when I got home. Lauren took really great care of my cat and sent cute pictures of her everyday. She was extremely kind and helpful. She went above and beyond and I would highly recommend her as a sitter! Thanks for everything, Lauren!

She took amazing care of my pups, sending many photos and proactively reaching out to me, making me feel assured every step of the way that there is no concern to be had. I truly appreciate her and am looking forward to booking another visit with her again!

Callie helped me out over the holidays and took great care of my boy Frootie. She gave this shy guy his space (eventually he warmed up and introduced himself) while attending to his needs. Very grateful for the strong communication and commitment.

Breanna was great! We would definitely book her cat sitting services again! We left for 4 days over Thanksgiving and Breanna took care of our 2 cats during that time. We received photo/video and the cats were very happy when we arrived home. Breanna also swept up the bits of kitty litter so we arrived to a clean space as well. Appreciate the extra care she took!

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Growing up around them taught me everything I needed to know about their moods, needs, and the little quirks that make each one special. Most recently, I had the joy of caring for a friend’s puppy full-time for six months, and that experience only deepened my love for the job. From daily walks and bath time to feeding routines and training sessions, I’m comfortable handling it all. Whether your pup is a laid-back lounger or a high-energy handful, I’ve got the patience and experience to meet them right where they are. When your dog is with me, they’re family! As a recent college grad working fully remote this summer, I have more flexibility than ever and I love every second of it. My days and weekends are wide open, which means your pup will never feel rushed or overlooked. Whether it’s a midday walk, an afternoon play session, or just some good old couch cuddles, I’m here and fully present. No squeezing visits in between a packed schedule, your dog gets my undivided attention:) I provide dog sitting exclusively at your home, meaning your pup stays in their own familiar environment, surrounded by everything they already know and love. No adjustment period, no added stress. I’m extremely detail oriented, so nothing slips past me when it comes to your dog’s safety and well-being. From securing doors and gates to following feeding schedules and medication routines to the letter, you can trust that every little detail will be handled with care.

Lukis is amazing! I had such a great experience and can’t recommend them highly enough. They took loving care of my cat while I was away for the night, and it really put my mind at ease. Not only did they make sure he was fed and comfortable, but they also handled his insulin injection with care and confidence, which meant a lot to me, since I know it may not be easy or comfortable to do. Throughout the entire process, Lukis was incredibly communicative and kept me updated making sure I knew my cat was in good hands. That level of attentiveness and professionalism made everything feel easy and stress-free. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again! Truly a relief knowing Lukis is trusted, reliable, and caring 🖤🙂 They also took care of girlfriend's cat on the same night 😺

We have a high maintenance multiple cat situation that Chelsea handled without a hitch. She asked great questions during our initial meet, and was prompt, attentive and kind to our cats. She gave me an update every visit along with photos of each cat so I knew they were all accounted for and doing ok. Would hire again and highly recommend.

About: I worked at Premier Pet Supply for a year and a half, and LOVE dogs!! I am also very active and am used to walking my 50lb pitbull who knows how to pull😂 I am currently a full-time student who works a part-time job! I have a cat who I love and care for, as well as my mother’s dog and numerous family friends who I enjoy pet-sitting for. I am very active so walks are always fun, and I can watch pets overnight as needed! I am in an apartment right now, so dogs would transparently be difficult to board, but in a clients home I have historically done very well! I work 7 hour days 4 days a week currently, which can be adjusted as needed for clients and their pets comfort. I am also very good at following instruction and caring for animals- I used to work at a pet store!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a small family farm, where pets were always part of the family. My parents frequently adopted and fostered both cats and dogs, so I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of personalities and breeds—from tiny Chihuahuas to Basset Hounds and high-energy Huskies. Although I can’t currently have pets of my own, caring for other people’s animals has become my favorite way to stay connected to what I love most. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m available in the morning and evenings, and am able to leave work during breaks to do a quick check in on pets! Weekends are completely open. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to work with families to make sure their pets get the attention and care they need! Although I grew up with dogs on the couch and in bed I will always respect the owner’s house rules. Multiple walks a day, respecting scheduled feeding times, and most of all giving all of my attention to your furry friends!

About: Passionate animal lover with professional pet care experience since 2018. Over the years, I've worked in veterinary clinics, grooming salons as an assistant bather, and in dog daycare settings, giving me experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I'm comfortable with caring for multiple pets at once, administering medications, sticking to an organized walking/feeding schedule, and providing individualized attention to each pet's unique needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I'm committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I make communication a priority. You'll receive regular updates and plenty of adorable photos that capture the best side of your pet's personality and daily adventures. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to providing dependable, compassionate care for your beloved companions I provide pet care full-time, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. Because this is my main focus, I am available for daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday bookings. I can accommodate a variety of schedules and am committed to ensuring pets receive consistent care, exercise, companionship, and supervision. I live in a pet friendly community in Midtown. The area includes designated pet relief stations with waste bags readily available, making it easy to keep the environment clean and comfortable. Im only a five-minute walk from a local dog park where dogs can enjoy additional activity and socialization, with owner permission. I prioritize safety at all times by keeping pets supervised, following their regular routines, and ensuring they have a clean, secure, and welcoming environment while in my care

About: Hello! My name is Annie. I love animals so much, especially dogs. I travel for work as a flight attendant so I am unable to care for an animal full time by myself unfortunately. That being said, I would love to help you take care of your animals when needed! Throughout my life I have had many cats, dogs, and other animals. I've been walking and helping take care of dogs as a paid service for a few months now and I absolutely love it! I'm typically available most weekdays. However, occasionally on a Thursday or Friday I have to work my other job flying around the world. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I am looking forward to helping you out with your fur children :)

Marissa is an amazing dog sitter. She made five drop-in visits for my 5-month-old puppy. Not only did she take care of him, but she also improved his training! He improved the "sit" command and was finally starting to lie down on command and recognize his "place" in the living room. Marissa is compassionate, patient and understanding. My dog loves her. I hope to book with her again very soon.

We booked a week-long request with Sydney, with morning/evening visits. We were nervous to be away from our cat for so many days, but Sydney provided many updates and pictures during their time together that we knew he was spending quality time with a kind friend. I’m sure our cat is excited to see Sydney again for the next time she visits, she is very caring and in tune with his needs!

Gwenyth was a fabulous sitter for my two cats. She came twice a day, regular as clockwork, and my cats, who hide from visitors, came out to see her at every visit! When we returned the house and the cats and their litter boxes were in excellent condition. We may never board our cats again if we can book Gwenyth.

Literally so kind and so awesome, I asked for a drop in pretty last minute and Lukis was so wonderful and came through in checking in on my baby girl. I was nervous to leave her for the first time since her brother passed and Lukis was so empathetic and sweet and made me feel like it was possible to move forward (and leave the house 🤣) Really grateful, 1000/10 recommend 😻🫶

Sydney did a great job watching my senior cat Jack. He mainly needs attention, and she spent the full 30-minute session after basic needs were taken care of giving him cuddles and spending time with him. I came back to find everything in order and a happy cat. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her!

Really on top of everything, making sure she knows where everything is and the cats’ general routine before arriving, even made sure to double check with me when they got overexcited for their food. My usually shy cats warmed up to her quickly, and judging by the pictures had a great time, I’ll definitely be hiring Eleanor again when I go away.

Areatha went above and beyond for our two cats. One of them had an unexpected eye infection right before we were planning to go on our trip.
