“Kimberly was able to walk Norman last minute when I had forgotten to book! I am so grateful for her flexibility and availability. Highly recommend.”


“My 2 pups are always excited to go walks with Elena. She is so loving and kind to my dogs. She’s dependable and I’m just so grateful to have her since I work long hours and they need these walks”


“Casey is attentive and outgoing. She is responsible and evidently rises around 3am. She is a hard worker and takes herself seriously. Her work ethic translates into her side hustle. She takes this gig just as serious as her professional career work. She is punctual, a great communicator, and authentic. I value her time and I appreciate her services. If you’re looking for a responsible candidate, I vouch for Casey. Other candidates on this site, don’t take this job serious and are difficult to get ahold of.”


“Thank you so much!! Chico loves the attention and exercise and I’m so glad for your patience with us 🙂”


About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets beginning with household pets as a child. About ten years ago, I adopted my first pet of my own and have had one ever since. I regularly take care of neighbors’, friends’, and referred (and repeat) clients’ pets of a variety of ages, temperament, and health condition with love and joy. I love caring for animals and am confident in my ability to handle any challenges pet care may throw at me. I have been pet/housesitting part time for several years and have recently shifted to a more full-time basis. This has enabled me to build my schedule around my clients’ needs. I do my very best to accommodate any feeding, walking, or medication routines that pets may be used to. I make myself available throughout the day for questions or updates, and if I cannot immediately respond, I do so as soon as I can.

“Excellent walker. Very accommodating.”


“Great communication. We appreciated the updates and photos. Terrific job with our Great Dane.”


“Rachelle was very sweet with Luna. She know a lot on how to properly care and manage energetic large dogs like mine. Her love for dogs is very evident. Would definitely recommend :)”


“Love her, she is perfect. Most importantly, she enjoys walking my dog.”


About: I have always loved animals above everything else and was lucky enough to experience having pets from age 6. I started out by taking care of rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, cats, dogs, etc. I've read many books, researched, and learned from the most experienced about how to train and care for different types of animals, especially dogs and cats. I have around 11 years of experience with cats and dogs, from the moment they were born to their senior years. Currently, I have two dogs, A 6-year-old husky named Leo (the one in my profile picture) and a 9-year-old labrador mix named Eva. I have trained and cared for both of them fully myself. I have also done volunteer work in shelters and have taken care of many other pets for my friends and family. I currently have a flexible part-time job that gives me a lot of free time to spend doing what I love most, being with animals! First, I always ask my clients if they have specific instructions or routines that they would like me to follow, whether it's in my house or theirs. I make sure that I know and do exactly as the clients ask to make sure the experience is easy and comfortable, for both the client and their lovely pet. I have two dogs of my own to welcome and accompany their pet in my house, I am also able to have them in separate spaces if the client prefers. I have many toys and treats in my house to keep them occupied and happy, and most importantly my unwavering love and attention! I also have a fenced yard in which they can run and play freely and there is also a couch specially arranged for them to rest and enjoy.


“Angellee is wonderful with my Patchy. She treats them as they are her own. I can’t say enough about her the best!!!”



“Kristina walked my dog last minute and did a great job. She followed all instructions and sent a lot of updates. I will definitely book her again for me walks.”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I don’t just see this a job, I see this as an amazing opportunity to create long lasting relationships with my clients and their pets. I love animals unconditionally and It just genuinely makes me so happy to take care of them. plus I get a good excuse to get out of my house! ;) All hours except for occasional Tuesday's at 2:30-3:30. This may vary depending on plans, appointments, etc. I will keep in touch don’t be afraid to reach out! I care for pets explicitly how the owner instructs me to. I will always put in my best effort to win your pets trust and make them feel safe in my company.

About: I have had pets, whether it be cats, dogs, or a parrot, my entire life. While growig up I have been mainly responsible for my pets, learning how to properly care for them. At this current moment I have a a 4 year old german shepherd mix(Maximus), 7 year old American Cockerspaniel(Teddy), 2 cats (7 years and 4 years), and a blue macaw. I regularly walk my dogs an hour or more a day and have feeding times for all my pets. I’ve never had any trouble taking care of any pets throughout my whole life. It would be a great pleasure to care for any pets you have to offer. All I need is a list of needs on how to care for your pets and I’ll handle the rest. There’s no pet too small or too big. Pet care is one of my top priority things in my day to day life. I will actively take my dog pretty much everywhere he and I can go together. We go on hikes weekly, to the beach, you name it. I care for other's pets as if they were my own. I am patient and kind to them and will regularly check with the owner by sending photos and updates.

About: I currently have a small elderly terrier mix dog. I have a bearded dragon as well who I take good care of. I'm not adverse to caring for any scalely friends. I'm currently not working. I am studying to get into my chosen university first. I can care for pets whenever you need me to or whenever available. I do have a fenced grassy back yard to keep the pets entertained. Also a few dog toys to play with and have fun. I do have a cage/crate but it's for medium to small pets only. There is 24hr security surveillance as well for those who would like to see their pets.


“Our dog Kodi is such a ham. He is very playful & Ellen is very patient. She spends time to play & walk with Kodi. We appreciate her promptness & reliability as she always shows up when she is supposed to & provides quality time with Kodi. We are very grateful for her time with him. 🐾”

My experience in the care of furries is 10 years in which I have learned to love them because I know that the furries are guardians of the human heart. Their purpose is to give joy and love to those who receive them and make them a part of their family. My schedule is flexible from Monday to Sunday. At the moment I'm at home all week and willing to take care of and have fun with your furry. Plenty of places to go out for walks with our family and plenty of snuggles to receive from our kiddos.
