“Absolutely amazing they gave my puppy so much attention. My puppy was afraid because his first time without me at night and they helped him through it. Gave me great feedback and constant updates. Stayed in my home and very respectful in my apartment.”


“David is a godsend! My little Milu is my world and at almost 16 years of age needs lots of attention. The stress of leaving him for business or personal trips has always been incredible. I’ve not had the best experiences with other sitters who never do what they promise until I met David! The care, attention and time David gave to Milu was mush more than I ever could have hoped for. David would provide lots of pictures and updates and for the first time in almost 16 years I could travel stress free! Milu might have been disappointed when I came home 😂. David knows how to give medication if your baby needs them. I simply cannot give a high enough recommendation to this incredible person. If you want the best possible care David is your only choice!”


“Catherine took great care of my cat Oliver while I was away for about 10 days. She was reliable with feeding, gave him his oral care as needed, and spent quality time playing with him. I appreciated the regular updates and photos throughout the stay. She also helped out by watering plants and keeping the apartment tidy. As an added kindness, she offered airport pick-up and drop-off, which made things a lot easier for me. Overall, I’m grateful for her help and the care she provided to Oliver.”


About: Hi! I’m a full-time investment professional with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I currently have an energetic Springer Spaniel who loves the outdoors, so I’m very familiar with the needs of active dogs and enjoy making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. Throughout my life, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes—from tiny Maltese to playful Cavaliers, loyal Boxers, and strong, intelligent German Shepherds. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and feel comfortable with pets of all temperaments and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just relaxing company, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! I work full time, but have a flexible schedule. I am available most weekdays for morning, mid-day and evening visits. Available most weekends as well. I care for pets at my clients’ homes or on outdoor walks. If they enjoy a K9 companion I’ll bring my Springer Spaniel with me!

“Amanda was great! She accepted a last minute booking for me when I was invited on a weekend trip. She came to my house and took great care of my dog who was having some allergy issues. He seemed very happy when I got home and my place was left clean and tidy. I would absolutely recommend hiring Amanda.”


“Laura was great for house sitting while I left town for a long weekend! My six month puppy seemed to have a great time with her—she was very responsive whenever I sent a message to check in and sent cute photo updates!”


“Caity was great! She took great care of Hermey while we were away and was very communicative while watching him which made us feel very comfortable. Will definitely use her again!”


“Another amazing experience with Taylor! So thankful she was able to watch our dogs for the week. Always great communication from start to finish, with a meal ready to go for us when we get home as an added bonus! So appreciative!”


“Nathalie was great with our kitten Lucky. She stayed at our home for a week and she really took great care of him while we were gone. Our house was sparkling clean when we arrived which is something we really appreciate. She was kind enough to pick up some packages from our locker which she didn’t have to do which really tells you how kind she is. Thank you Nathalie! We will definitely be booking with you in the future!”


“Monica was super professional and friendly. She took great care of our cat and dog while we were away. She was very sweet and handled all my anxiety by reassuring me the pets were in good hands. We loved getting daily photos and updates!”


“Alejando is absolutely amazing! He came to meet my dog ahead of time 2x to be sure she and I were both comfortable and he could be good with instructions. He took wonderful care of zoe while I was away for the weekend. My place was clean when I came back which wasn't necessary but appreciated. Zoe clearly had an amazing time with him as she has slept so hard since I've been back lol. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trusting sitter that truly loves dogs. I will surely be requesting his services in the future! I highly recommend”


“Emily did a great job with my cat, Princi! It was my first time having someone cat sit and she made sure I knew Princi was in good hands. She checked in everyday and sent pictures of my baby. I highly recommend Emily to watch your little one, she will give you the peace of mind that they are in good hands!”

“Winny was great at watching my 2 pups Mia and Tyler, and accommodating us last minute. They were happy when we returned and she provided daily updates with pics and videos. Will definitely hit her up once we go out of town again. She’s lovely 100/10”


About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, I work at a pet store as a kennel so I am always with dogs taking care of them, and also my family/friends have relied on me to take care of them go out of town or even they are working late to just check up on them. I am available mon-sat whenever you need me I am there, sun after 12pm, I have plenty of time to play with the pups !! they will be in great hands I have a fenced yard grass in an area they can play in and enjoy the sun with food,water and toys and I will keep them company so your pups don’t be lonely. I will even cuddle with them if they feel lonely.

About: I've grown up around animals and have cared for small to medium-sized dogs for all of my life. From an early age, my family and neighbors trusted me to walk, feed, and play with their dogs and cats—and I loved every minute of it. Whether it was taking high-energy pups on long walks or keeping shy cats company while their humans were away, I quickly became the go-to pet helper in my neighborhood. Today, I’m a proud cat mom of two, and I completely understand the importance of finding someone who treats your babies like family. I’m attentive, patient, and always prioritize safety—whether I’m walking your dog, refreshing water bowls, or giving extra playtime and snuggles. As a walker, I’m reliable, punctual, and experienced in handling different energy levels and temperaments. I’m also comfortable with basic leash training and giving pets the calm reassurance they need while you’re away. I'm currently taking a break from my corporate job, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your furbabies. Whether it's daily check-ins, walkings around, extended visits, or last-minute needs, I'm available and fully committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I care for pets in their home the same way I would want someone to care for my own pets—with love, respect, and attention to detail. I follow pet care instructions closely, keeping your pet’s routine consistent and their environment clean and comfortable. Whether it's feeding, getting some sun together, litter box care, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure your furbaby feels safe, relaxed, and loved!

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the genuine love and dedication I have for every animal in my care. I treat each pet as if they were my own, paying close attention to their individual needs, routines, and personalities. My reliability, calm nature, and strong communication with pet owners help build trust and peace of mind. I go the extra mile to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my healthy daily routine by keeping me active, mindful, and present. Walking dogs and playing with pets gets me moving outdoors and helps me stay physically fit. Caring for animals also reduces stress and boosts my mood, supporting my mental well-being. The structure and responsibility keep me focused and grounded throughout the day. It’s a fulfilling way to stay healthy while doing something I truly love. When dog sitting and dog walking, I make sure each pup feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I stick to their regular routines, provide fresh food and water, and give them plenty of love and attention. During walks, I ensure they get the right amount of exercise while staying safe and stimulated. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health, and always update owners with photos and notes. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would at home.

About: I’ve cared for senior dogs, special needs pups, and hyperactive breeds with lots of energy. I’ve also fostered older dogs and helped feed and care for senior cats. Animals make me happy — I love spending time with them, learning their quirks, and giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I create my own schedule, so I’m flexible and can adjust to meet your pet’s needs. Whether your dog is an early riser or a night owl, I can plan walks, meals, playtime, and check-ins around your routine. I focus on keeping pets mentally and physically engaged through games, affection, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I take dogs on regular leashed walks and make sure they’re never left unsupervised. I’m also happy to follow any routines or crate preferences you have to ensure your pet feels secure and cared for.

“Cami provided fantastic care for our elderly dogs. She was very communicative with us and we worked together to aid in one of our dogs having trouble with the thunder noises. We are thrilled with Cami.”


“Eddy is AMAZING!!! He was so wonderful with my pup and I received so many photos and updates! My doggie is anxious and doesn't relax...he NEVER lets people rub his belly except me...I received belly rubbing videos which tell me he was so happy and loved!!”
