House Sitting Downtown

“Trina took incredible care of our dog Dolly, taking things like the weather into consideration and also keeping in constant communication with us. She left the house spotless and even tidied Dolly’s toys up.”

“Jenny is a fantastic sitter! She took excellent care of my dog, Akira. Akira is usually shy and takes time to warm up to new people, but she was immediately comfortable with Jenny. I will definitely be booking her again!”

“Highly recommend Kevin! He is so knowledgeable and incredibly attentive, really appreciate him sharing his observations and tips and tricks with Millie today. She was instantly comfortable with him. He did a wonderful job caring for her, keeping her engaged and also following our routines. We would definitely use Kevin in the future.”

“Su took great care of my senior dog. She provided regular updates, asked questions when not sure and patiently took him on walks. She left my house in the same shape I left it in. When I got home my dog did not complain one bit which is a first for him :).”

“Amy is the best dog sitter we could have asked for. I pride myself on how much I take my dogs on adventures but Amy even surpassed what I do for my own dog! Amy took my dog on numerous wonderful adventures while sending me amazing pictures from their adventures. When Amy left she left a gorgeous hand drawn picture of our dog. I recommend Amy to anyone with a pet that they like and want to leave in good hands. 5 stars. A+ dog sitting! Will hire again!”

“We love Lexa! She watched our puppies twice and each time she was here before time! She took the boys on a very long walk and they were both nicely tired. Totally recommend!”

“Thank you to Alex for taking care of my boy! It was so nice to be able to go away for a few days and know he was well cared for. I know he can be a handful. Please get some rest you deserve it.”

“Natalie was so great!! She was very kind and flexible and even left the house clean. She sent me lots of updates of the dogs and followed all the instructions. This was my first time having someone I don’t know watch my dogs and she was fantastic!”

“Kim is so wonderful with our nervous boy, Bentley! She is also very communicative, sweet, and responsible! Thank you so much for being so patient and helpful with Bentley! We truly appreciate the special care you take with him! We will be reaching out for more pet sitting and would highly recommend Kim!”

“Aurora was truly a gift having her dog-sit our precious girl Sadie. She was caring, responsive, gave many updates throughout the long weekend and made me feel at ease while I was away knowing that my dog was in good hands. Thank you Aurora. You are top on my list for future dog-sitting needs.”

Kelly P.

“Alexandra was a huge help with a last minute booking. She took great care of our dog, and I know he had a blast. She provided tons of activity and kept us informed the whole time. Can’t wait to book again.”

Ansel G.

“Andrew was great! He was attentive of Timon and updated me on how he was doing throughout the day. Timon chomped down on a Christmas light and Andrew was quick to respond to get it out of his mouth and put the pieces where he couldn't get them. Will definitely reach out to Andrew again!”

About: I have a dog who is my whole entire world. I have always loved and cared for dogs and cats. Have done pet sitting for friends and family for the past 5 years I am currently in college and taking hybrid classes so I free 80% of the week. I am more than willing to discuss schedules and times. I like in an apartment with a small back porch but also a lot of grass and space around my apartment complex. I have a small maltipoo to keep your babies company. I can easily crate your baby if needed.

“Neha is an absolute gem! She’s incredibly sweet and caring. I was so grateful for her attention to our baby and the constant updates, pictures, and videos she sent us. It was a true blessing to have found her, and I would absolutely love for her to take care of Emmy again!”

About: We have shared our home with dogs and cats for over 30 years. For more than two decades, we've served as a foster home for Furry Friends Rescue, caring for dogs and cats of every age, breed, temperament, and medical need while they waited for their forever homes. That kind of fostering means we've handled it all: bottle-feeding newborn kittens, house-training anxious rescue puppies, managing senior pets with arthritis or special diets, and giving extra patience to animals recovering from neglect or trauma. We know how to read an animal's body language, spot early signs something's wrong, and adjust our approach to fit each pet's personality rather than expecting them to adjust to us. We no longer have pets of our own, which means your pet gets our full attention, energy, and home, without competing with a resident dog or cat for space or affection. Our house is calm, comfortable, and set up for animals to feel safe. We do still have foster cats that are friendly with other animals. Whether your pet needs a quiet, structured routine, extra TLC, or just an experienced hand who won't be fazed by anything, we've likely already seen it and handled it with care. Pet care isn't squeezed into our schedule, it is our schedule. Both of us are home full-time, with no kids and no pets of our own, so your dog(s) or cat(s) gets our undivided attention rather than fitting in around a job or a household routine. With two of us in the home, we can cover any schedule your animal needs, whether that's specific feeding times, medication a few times a day, or simply consistent company and playtime throughout the day. If one of us needs to step out, the other is always here, so your cat is never left alone for long. We're also equipped for whatever the situation calls for. We have crates and carriers on hand, and a large SUV if transport is ever needed, whether that's a vet visit, a pickup or drop-off, or anything else that comes up. Because we no longer have pets of our own, your cat isn't sharing our time, space, or attention with a resident animal. Our days are genuinely built around being available and present, which is exactly the kind of routine that comes from over 20 years of fostering. We own our home, which includes a large fenced yard and patio, giving pets plenty of safe space to run, play, and explore outside. We have no neighboring animals, so there are no surprise fence-line encounters or added stress from unfamiliar pets nearby. For dogs, we get outside for walks every day, rain or shine, so your pet stays on their normal exercise routine even while away from home. Indoors, pets have the run of a calm, comfortable home rather than being confined to one room. We tailor our approach to each animal's personality, whether that means a structured routine, extra quiet time, or simply consistent companionship throughout the day. For longer stays we can send pictures too. We have an established relationship with our own veterinarian and are comfortable handling special needs animals, including pets on medication schedules, seniors with mobility or dietary needs, or animals recovering from illness or injury. This comes directly from over 20 years of fostering through Furry Friends Rescue, where we regularly cared for animals with medical or behavioral needs that required extra attention and consistency. Whatever the service, boarding, drop-in visits, or house sitting, your pet gets a safe, secure environment, plenty of space, and two experienced caregivers who know how to watch for and respond to their individual needs.

“Krystal took great care of Dusty while staying at our home with him for several days. We will definitely request her services again in the future!”

About: I absolutely love animals. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have two cats at home. Previously experienced with caring for my senior dog who had CKD. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments as I'm currently working as a vet assistant and studying to be a registered veterinary technician. I recognize that every pet parent has their individualized way of caring for their pet and I strive to support that. Your furry kid means a lot and you should feel confident and comfortable with their care. I currently work 4 day weeks, 10 hours a day. I have three days throughout the week and nights after work that are available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. I do my best to maintain a safe environment, staying aware of harmful materials, chemicals or products that a pet could get into. Removing or storing these items safely to avoid any negative exposure. Especially for young pets (and labs) that will eat anything.

About: Here to help, here to care, prefer other calm non shedding 25-50lb well behaved and calm dogs My intention is to offer reasonably priced care to others's dogs who worry about their pet like their own child - i feel this way about my own pet so wanted to jump in and help some one else out who has similar dogs like mine (to allow a suitable mutual match, i have strong preferences for calmer, 4-5+ aged 25-50lb female spayed dogs who will get along well with my dog and don't require excessive entertaining and minimum care. I would also need to be able to keep them contained in a large room with a pet gate / room divider at time or in a crate if they are used to it if i step away for a hour or two (at most 4 hrs). I will have cameras and bark alerting systems to monitor their wellbeing. I currently work from home 2-3 days of the week and I can be home on weekends by appointment I would host dogs who can be left home for a couple hours at a time in a contained crate / playpen to run my errands or small appointments on the weekend and weekday evenings Fenced yard, caring kid and friendly doodle at host's home, access to walking trails 2-3x a day, love spending time outdoors with dogs and playing fetch or tug rope with them

“Tristan is wonderful! So kind and attentive to Maggie. Stayed extra to make sure she didn’t feel lonely til we got home. House was super tidy too. Highly recommend!”

About: I provide reliable, attentive, and humane care for dogs who need more than the bare minimum. I specialize in longer walks, consistent companionship, and thoughtful routines that support a dog’s physical and emotional well‑being. My approach is grounded in respect for each animal’s needs — not just the convenience of a quick visit. I’ve cared for dogs of many ages, temperaments, and energy levels, including high‑exercise breeds, seniors, and dogs who thrive with predictable routines. I’m comfortable managing detailed care instructions, medications, and individualized schedules. My goal is always the same: to make sure your dog feels safe, mentally-stimulated, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Pricing Description: Dog Walking Premium 45–60 minute walks with structured pacing, decompression time, and attentive handling. Drop-in Visits Drop‑ins provide routine‑based care with enrichment, calm companionship, and a walk tailored to your dog’s exercise needs. I focus on behavioral cues, decompression, and thoughtful interaction throughout each visit. House Sitting House sitting offers calm companionship, structured walks, and respectful care of your home. I maintain a tidy, low‑stress environment and follow your dog’s daily rhythms closely.

I have an open availability this summer and can continue with dog walking and pet-sitting throughout the year, since my teaching hours will be a half-day commitment. I maintain a calm, organized, pet‑safe environment and follow your routines closely so your dog feels comfortable and secure. Walk & Exercise Standards I do not provide rushed or minimal-contact visits. All walks are designed to meet your dog’s actual exercise needs. I always use positive reinforcement to redirect behavior through praise, treats, or toys. I do not yell or use physical means to get the dog's attention or make commands. Dogs receive humane, high‑quality care that supports their physical and emotional well‑being.
