“We had Don watch our 3 year old dog for 3 nights and 4 days. He was absolutely the perfect sitter. He arrived at 5:30AM so we could have our dog be with him while we headed to the airport to relieve any anxiety and stayed until 7:00PM so we could get back not too late with our dog being alone. Don was very kind, sweet, and attentive towards our dog. He asked for a detailed item list for his stay, he sent us a ton of photos and videos without us having to always ask, and reached out to help clean up sheets, vacuum, take the trash out before his stay ended. You can tell he has a passion for dogs and truly enjoys spending time with them. I would highly recommend Don if you are looking to enjoy your vacation or time away and want to feel like you can trust someone to make your dog happy. We look forward to hiring him again next time we are out of town. He will be our first choice in sitters moving forward.”
“Jehiny was available pretty last minute and made me feel so safe and secure leaving my foster dog at home alone. She sent timely updates, shared pictures, and gave us some suggestions for some difficult situations we were having with the foster. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Alexandrea was wonderful and took care of my elderly pup with the upmost care. I received updates throughout the stay and would absolutely welcome her help again!”
“Súper professional and accommodating. Needed a sitter last minute for Mother’s Day and Josh went above and beyond. Very good about communicating updates. Handled giving my dog Vida her pill. & just all around a kind and caring guy! Definitely will book with him again.”
“Hannah was great! She stayed in close communication, sent pics and I know my dog was perfectly happy in his normal routine while we were out of town. She went above and beyond in many ways!”
“Carley always takes wonderful care of our senior blind dog. I think our dog actually likes Carley more than she likes my husband and I at this point!”
“Nikki did an amazing job carrying for my kitties! She was communicative and seriously helped me out, being able to watch them last minute over the holidays and graciously being flexible when I had to edit the timeframe. I came back to my place exactly how I left it and I know my cat's loved her! Will definitely be booking again.”
“FABULOUS. So thankful her and my pup got to bond. She misses her already. I would highly recommend her and we can’t wait to see her again! Thanks you so much Julia for everything I truly appreciate it.”
“J stayed with my two Bengals while I was out of town and did a great job caring for them. She followed medication instructions, cleaned up a couple of pee incidents (which is unfortunately part of life with my cats), and reached out whenever she had questions instead of making assumptions. It was obvious she genuinely liked my cats and paid attention to how they were doing. I appreciated that she noticed one of my cats allergies while I was away and texted to ask how she could help medicate if needed. I came home to two well-cared-for cats and would happily book with her again. ❤️”
“Sarah was wonderful! Incredibly friendly and attentive and even offered to meet us beforehand to get to know our pup. Would absolutely love to get her help again!”
“Mahalia took good care of our pups and she was very respectful with our home and left our place tidy. our dogs loved her and we will definitely have here watch them again for our next trips! :)”
“Brenna stepped in for me in an urgency and was the utmost friendly, communicative and wonderful caretaker for my two pups - one big and one small. I would hire Brenna again (and plan to!) in a heartbeat. She is the best and a fantastic doggie caretaker.”
About: I was born into a home that deeply valued the companionship of terrier dogs like Airedales and Welsh Terriers. For my entire life, I've been around dogs in my home, and at the majority of my friends' homes, learning the quirks of every breed from Australian Labradoodles to Frenchies. No dog or cat is too small or too large, my heart knows no limits. I have experience with senior dogs as well, as my sister has adopted several over the past 10 years. I can clean up any mess and I have the stamina to run up any hill or jog any trail with our beloved canines! I am currently the proud parent of two brother cats, Ghost and Banshee--they light up my world and my wife and I spoil them every day. Lastly, I will make sure you are comfortable and adequately updated during each and every one of our experiences. You can always trust that your pet(s) is/are in good hands. Communication is paramount in my book (I relish the texts and photos that my cat sitters send my way while traveling)--I know how important transparency is. I'd love to hear from you and can't wait to meet my new friend(s)! I am flexible and free for any and all pet care duties. I feed my own two cats twice a day, a very regal raw meat diet. I keep their water fresh and clean their litter box three times a day, minimum. I am proactive and intuitive in anticipating the needs of the cats and dogs in my care. I go above and beyond to make sure their every need is met. I have the utmost respect for running a clean ship and will always take care when inside client homes/pet areas. I meet your pets at their level, in their own spaces, with a friendly nature and open intuitiveness.
“Lillian is terrific. On time, thoughtful and diligent. She is flexible as well, and was able to extend her time with us no problem. And the doggies loved her! Highly recommend!”
About: Safety first so I double checked my apartment for any hazardous items, edges, or liquids that could possibly endanger any pet! I also love taking lots of pictures with the dogs in my care. Staying active is a priority of mine so it makes it a lot more fun when I can have an active or playful pet around! I ride a skate board so it's easy for me to get around town quickly for in home visits to your pets. Spacious room is ideal for pets with their own beds or toys. I live alone so you can sure all my attention will be focused on the safety and care of your furry friends! Your pet will have my full attention as I don’t work right now I only focus on caring for pets. I also foster dogs here and there. I have plenty experience with all types of dogs and I can easily pick up on whatever your pets needs are.I always will make sure to keep you informed on our daily activities.
“Latte loved Jenny. I arrived home and was greeted by a happy, affectionate, playful cat. My holiday was enhanced by a steady stream of creative kitty pix and videos. Jenny is a gem. Natural grace. A true cat whisperer and animal lover.”
“Elizabeth did an amazing job with Lady Mae while staying at my apartment for the weekend. Was extremely communicative and followed all instructions. Was a pleasure to work with her and will definitely be requesting her services next time I’m out of town.”
About: I treat your pets like my own—with love, patience, and attention to detail. I focus on building trust, creating comfort, and making every moment joyful while you're away. If you're looking for someone to help you take care of your fur babies on a weekly basis I'm your girl! I enjoy spending time and taking care of animals. In your home, I create a calm, cozy space, follow routines, offer gentle companionship, and ensure pets feel loved, safe, and relaxed—just like they never left your side.
“Karen was great! Was able to take our request at the last minute and was super communicative and responsive. Riggins is increasingly picky as he gets older and seems like he had a relaxing weekend with her :) Will definitely be using her sitting services again.”

Lauren was wonderful! She swooped in last minute to watch my cat and my very excitable dog for two nights. She was super responsive, sent regular updates, and it was clear that the animals loved her. She gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling. Highly recommend!!
Jehiny took amazing care of my French Bulldog, Mochi, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly attentive and kept me updated throughout his stay with frequent messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When Mochi developed a little diarrhea, she immediately took extra care of him by giving him pumpkin to help settle his stomach and kept me informed every step of the way. She also made sure he stayed active and social by taking him on playdates, which he absolutely loved. It’s obvious that Jehiny genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Her communication, attention to detail, and thoughtful care went above and beyond my expectations. Mochi came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. I would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Alexandrea. From the moment we met at the meet-and-greet to the moment we left for our trip, I felt completely at ease knowing our dog, Pipoca, was in her care. She was flexible, working with our flight schedule, and, most importantly, arrived right on time. She treated our home with so much respect, as if it were her own, and her communication throughout the stay was exceptional! She sent frequent updates and always checked with us before making any decisions outside of what we previously agreed on, along with so many adorable photos and videos throughout the day! She even took Pipoca along with her while running errands aka little adventures for our little one, kept her engaged, and it was clear from every update how happy and comfortable Pipoca was with Alexandrea. When we came home, the house was clean and Pipoca was relaxed and happy. I would not hesitate to book Alexandrea again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, reliable, and genuinely caring sitter.
Sarah and David were absolutely exceptional with our two dogs. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. They provided regular updates and photos throughout our trip, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying. It was clear that Sarah and David genuinely love and understand dogs. Our two pups were treated like members of their family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and outstanding care. When we returned, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Sarah and David were professional, reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond in every way. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would trust them with our dogs again without hesitation. We highly recommend Sarah and David to anyone looking for exceptional pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our dogs—we are incredibly grateful! ❤️🐾🐾
Charlotte was so accommodating to our schedule and gave our new kitten and senior dog a lot of love! It was so nice to enjoy our vacation and know that they were being given so much love and attention. Our flight home was delayed a few times and Charlotte was able to stay later than anticipated to look after our babies. We appreciate her so much!!
I was a little scared to leave my dog Emma with someone new, but Eilythia made the experience so pleasurable and easy from start to finish. She sent adorable photos of Emma throughout the day, played multiple games of soccer with her in our front yard, and made us feel like our dog was in good hands throughout our time away. 10/10 recommend!!!!!
Lillian house-sat with our shy, skittish pup for two weeks and kept her safe and comfortable. We were updated with photos and videos and able to enjoy our trip knowing that Lillian had everything under control, and we returned home to a healthy, happy dog (and a tidy house!). Highly recommended.
