“Mikayla is the best! Sultan loves her and he’s always so much more calm after she visits while I’m gone. She even helps refresh his bone broth when it runs low 😆”

About: I've never had a dog myself but I love being around them! I've helped take care of dogs in the family for a few years now! I’m a college student looking to earn some extra side money! That being said I don’t have a completely open schedule but definitely willing to work with you!! I am not offering services that include bringing your pet to my home because I am in circumstances that wouldn't make that very beneficial but I will do everything I can to ensure your babies feel loved!

“Faith was amazing and very accommodating for my two elderly dogs. She kept me informed while she did two drop-in visits for me, and sent lots of pics! I would definitely use her again and recommend her!”

“Repeat client here, and there’s a reason we continue to use Tiffany every single time, she’s simply the best. From a practical standpoint, consistency and trust matter, and Tiffany delivers on both. She has taken care of Toots multiple times for drop-ins and walks, and every experience has been seamless. Toots can be particular, and Tiffany just gets her. That level of understanding isn’t luck, it’s skill and genuine care. What this means is I never have to second-guess anything. Tiffany is reliable, communicative, and always ensures Toots is safe, exercised, and well cared for. More importantly, Toots clearly enjoys her time with her, which says everything. In reality, when you find someone this dependable and attentive, you don’t keep searching, you stick with them. Highly recommend Tiffany. We’ll continue booking her again and again ❤️:”

About: I have 5 years of experience caring for and walking dogs, including regularly walking dogs throughout high school. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I’m dependable, patient, and have a very flexible schedule, so I can easily work around your pet’s normal routine. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m a college student with a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week and on weekends.

I’m also respectful of your home and happy to send regular updates and photos while you’re away.

“Sydney was wonderful! Very communicative and helpful! She was great with our cat! She was able to make a last-minute visit work when our original plans fell through and she made sure our cat wasn’t injured when we saw on our camera that the cat had hurt herself when alone.”

“Meghan was fantastic at taking care of my 3 dogs for two weeks. I am not even sure my dogs missed us all that much! Meghan showed up at the same time for every walk and made sure to give the dogs lots of love each time.”

“Sara came very last-minute and did an excellent job. My cats seem happy, she gave detailed updates, and she followed all directions! Thanks, Sara!”

About: We go by Gin (Virginia) and Jack (Kandiack), and we’re a husband-and-wife team who share a deep love for animals. We understand that every pet has a unique personality—from confident, social dogs and cats to shy or anxious pets who need extra patience and reassurance. A few years ago, we bought our home and discovered a large population of unaltered feral cats in the neighborhood. We stepped in to have them spayed and neutered, provided food and shelter, and slowly earned their trust. Over time, they became part of our family. That experience deepened our understanding of patience, routine, and the difference consistent, gentle care can make. Our hands-on experience includes: * Caring for shy, anxious, and semi-feral cats. * Building trust at each pet’s pace without forcing interaction. * Maintaining familiar feeding, walking, playtime, and litter box routines. * Offering companionship to pets who feel lonely or stressed. * Administering medications and following special diets and individualized care instructions. Gin is certified in pet first aid and CPR through the American Red Cross. We carry our own insurance and are bonded, and we’re happy to provide additional details upon request. We know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. We take time to learn their routines, preferences, and little quirks so we can help them feel comfortable and secure. Our goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are receiving the same patience, attention, and love we give our own. Pet care is a regular part of our daily routine. I work from home and set my own schedule, giving us flexibility to coordinate visits and stays around your cats’ needs. Together, we plan our availability to provide dependable feeding, medication, playtime, and companionship while keeping your cats’ familiar routines consistent. We’re available for weekday, weekend, and overnight care, with last-minute requests welcome when our schedule allows. We provide attentive care in your home, where your pets can enjoy familiar surroundings and routines. We follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, and each pet’s individual needs. For households with multiple pets, we take time to understand their relationships, separate feeding arrangements, and how each one prefers to receive attention. We build trust patiently, using approved treats or favorite toys without forcing interaction. Our experience with rescue and shy cats has taught us the importance of consistency, gentle care, and respecting each animal’s space. We watch for changes in appetite, behavior, and litter box use, communicate concerns promptly, and share updates and photos. We also take care to prevent escapes, secure doors, and follow your home access instructions. Gin is certified in pet first aid and CPR through the American Red Cross, and we carry our own insurance and are bonded. Your pets’ safety and comfort—and your peace of mind—guide our care.

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life—I grew up with two sweet pups, Maggie and Milly, and that’s where my passion for pet care began. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs, each with their own personality and needs. Whether your pup is playful and energetic or older and needs a gentler approach, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love to every visit. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family! I work from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a lunch break around 2 p.m., which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care throughout the day. I’m happy to adjust my schedule as needed to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. While I’m not able to offer pet sitting in my apartment, I’m more than happy to come to your home to care for your beloved pet. Whether it’s staying overnight or dropping in for walks, playtime, or feeding during the day, I’ll make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

“I highly recommend Emily, she was great with our pit bull puppy Pearl! Pearl seemed happy and well taken care of. Emily is obviously not only a dog person, but an animal person; our two people shy cats even came out to see her. She will definitely be back to take care of Pearl.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and needs. Last year, I rescued a senior dog and cared for him through recovery from double leg surgery, giving me firsthand experience with post-procedure care, mobility support, and close monitoring. I also administered monthly arthritis injections, so I’m comfortable giving injectable medications when needed. That summer, I took him to Alaska, where we spent our time hiking and enjoying the outdoors together. He sadly passed away from old age after a wonderful year, but caring for him reinforced my passion for providing patient, loving, and attentive care to animals. I currently have two female cats of my own, ages 4 and 5. One requires oral medication twice daily, so I’m very comfortable administering oral meds as well. I’m also fostering a friend’s male cat while she’s away at school, giving me experience managing multi-pet households. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I plan my schedule to make sure pets are never left waiting for attention or potty breaks. On days I have classes, I structure visits and walks around them so dogs get potty breaks every 3–4 hours at most, and often more frequently depending on their needs. I have no classes on Wednesdays, which allows for extra flexibility, longer visits, and additional walks or enrichment. I also aim to get 10,000 steps daily and frequently walk my neighbor’s dog at Camel’s Back Park, so regular walks and outdoor time are already part of my routine. Overall, pets in my care can expect consistent check-ins, timely potty breaks, and plenty of movement and attention throughout the day, with schedules tailored to each pet’s needs and comfort. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a second-story apartment with no yard, which means pets are always leashed and closely supervised when outside. I’m careful with doors, stairways, and transitions in and out of the apartment to ensure pets stay secure at all times. While I don’t have a private yard, I’m located very close to Camel’s Back Park, allowing for regular, structured walks and fresh-air breaks in a safe, familiar environment. I tailor outings to each pet’s energy level and needs, whether that’s a calm stroll or extra time to explore. Inside, my home is clean, pet-friendly, and calm, with plenty of attention given to monitoring behavior, comfort, and safety. I follow all owner instructions closely to make sure pets feel secure and cared for in my home and during every outing.

About: My whole life has been spent with animals, dogs especially. My passion runs deep for beautiful creatures and I would do anything in my power to give them a helping hand. I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have at least one dog, along with many other animals. Before becoming a mother, I spent a lot of my free time working and volunteering at at various shelters and fostering animals. I have assisted/monitored many dogs during birth and helped to raise more puppies than I can count. Please keep in mind that I have two kids so your animals must do well with small children if I am boarding. You won't regret choosing someone like myself to take care of your dog (or any other animal) because I will treat him or her as if they were my own. Send me a message and book a vacation!

“Thank you for your thoroughness. You were super communicative and went above and beyond.”

“Caitlynnwas fantastic! She took great cAre of our kitten as well as amazing photos. She sent thorough updates and was happy to tend to our house plants and mail. Will definitely use Caitlynn again.”

“Stephani was fantastic! We were able to book on short notice over the holidays. She worked with our schedule. She not only checked in our our kitties everyday but she sent snaps to both my roommate and I on request so we could see our fur babies in real time. On top of that, she kept close tabs on one of our cats that started getting sick when we left. She even took him to the vet and gave him meds throughout the rest of the stay. She was friendly, trustworthy, flexible, and went above and beyond for our pets! I would 100% book again and recommend Stephani to others!”
