Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾

Michelle has been an absolutely WONDERFUL in home sitter for us. She was attentive and detail oriented during the meet and greet and clearly has a good sense of how to handle various temperaments in animals. She sent us updates twice daily and included several pictures making us feel like our guy was getting very well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone!

Danyel was an amazing sitter for our 5 month old kitten bmo! She stopped by multiple times to get to know him + his schedule and familiarize herself with the place before we went away. While we were away Danyel sent us daily feeding pictures and other pictures with a few updates on how he was doing. It really helped us feel that he was safe and loved while we were away. Bmo is obsessed with her and we can’t wait to book her again!

Grace did a fantastic job! She sent many pictures of the pets, and we were very comfortable and relaxed while she was watching the pets. Grace kept in contact with me frequently, with any questions or concerns. The pets were very happy in the videos that she shared. We will definitely use her again.

Elizabeth was a fantastic housesitter for Manny! She was incredibly patient and understanding, especially since Manny can take a little while to warm up to new people. She handled his quirks with ease—even when he was being a bit picky or "spirited"—and by the end of the stay, they were clearly bonding. She kept me updated on their adventures exploring the local greenbelt and was very accommodating with his usual routines (including letting him snuggle in bed!). It’s such a relief to find someone who truly "gets" a dog with a big personality. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and patient sitter!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, which has shaped my understanding of their needs, routines, and personalities. I’ve always been involved in caring for my own family pets, including feeding, walking, and giving them consistent attention. Beyond that, I’ve pet sat overnight and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, family, and others. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility and feel comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible and open schedule, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to help with last-minute needs. I’d love the chance to spend time with and care for your pets! When taking care of pets I like to keep things consistent with their usual routine by making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get regular walks, and plenty of attention and love. I aim to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!

Kaili was great! She watched our two large dogs for two nights at our home, and we couldn’t have been happier. Our dogs have a lot of energy and definitely come with their own quirks, but she handled them so well. She kept us updated throughout her stay, was very respectful of our home, and left everything clean and tidy. We would absolutely book with her again. 5/5 stars!

I welcome pets and families of all backgrounds and identities! As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm happy to work with your pet's routine whenever possible. I always follow your instructions closely and maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel secure while you're away. I provide care in your home, where your pet is most comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own Samoyed, which has given me a strong understanding of large-breed dogs, their energy levels, grooming needs, and daily routines. In addition to Samoyeds, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to follow care instructions closely. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, habits, and comfort level, whether that means energetic walks, gentle playtime, or simply providing calm companionship. I also help reinforce basic routines such as leash manners, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and medication if needed. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets the time and attention they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I work part-time as a dental assistant, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. This allows me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins thoughtfully throughout my day and week. I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so pets always receive attentive, unrushed care. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending my free time caring for dogs and cats. I care for pets with a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Whether in the pet’s home or during visits, I follow your instructions carefully, ensure the environment is secure, and supervise pets at all times. I pay attention to each animal’s needs and personality, providing food, water, playtime, or rest as appropriate. I also send updates to keep owners informed and reassured.

Monica did a great job house sitting for us and taking care of our kitty Greyson who has stage 3 kidney disease. Due to his illness Greyson’s main diet is wet food and he needs to be fed several times a day with meds mixed in. This was not an issue for Monica. Under her care Greyson thrived. He looked healthy and happy. We so enjoyed the updates Monica sent to us every day. The photos and videos attached to the updates always made us smile, sometimes we laughed out loud by Greyson’s antics and expressions captured in them. She also cut Greyson’s nails for us, something we had trouble accomplishing on our own. Besides taking excellent care of Greyson, Monica kept the house in good order. She is a vey capable and compassionate pet sitter. We felt fortunate to have found her.

Allie was the sweetest with our two boys (adult male cats). She took good care of the house and when we got back the boys did not hide under the furniture, instead they were happy to see us. The best part was her excellent communication and that she sent proof of life images daily! I would not only recommend her, I will reserve her again in the future. Can’t go wrong with kind, reliable, and excellent communication skills!

Elizabeth was AMAZING with our pets! My Maverick is not the easiest dog to come around as a stranger, but Elizabeth managed to establish a good rapport with him. She took notes during our first meet and greet which went a long way in giving us peace of mind while we were away. We came back to a spotless house, and she provided updates on the pets just the right amount… Not too often and not only when I asked. I am usually very nervous when I spend more than a few days away from the fur babies, but Elizabeth made it so easy to feel secure knowing my babies were in good hands. THANK YOU, Elizabeth! 10/10 will be booking again!

Sarah has been taking our reactive dog on walks and earning trust with him. We finally booked a dog sitting stay for 4 days. Despite his last minute medical need right before the trip (which required her to give daily medications & wear a cone), she took on the challenge & did amazing. Our dog really seemed to trust & appreciate Sarah’s company & she made sure he got lots of attention, meals & walks. She was also very respectful of our house & left the place immaculate. We will definitely continue to hire Sarah & felt such relief to know our fur baby was in such good hands.

Monica stayed with our 5.5 year old boxer, Fig, for 10 days while we went on a vacation with family. This is the longest time we’ve both been away from him, and we were nervous! Obviously, we shouldn’t have been. We came home to a super happy, healthy dog, and a very nicely kept house. Our biggest worry was that Fig wouldn’t eat while we were away (he gets excited about new people, and has some digestive issues when he puts off eating) but Monica managed to get him to eat well the whole trip! Monica sent a bunch of great photos and videos every day in the evening so that we would see how he was doing, and he was clearly having a ball. She took him on a bunch of very successful walks, even though Fig has some leash reactivity about other dogs, and she took him on a bunch of adventures to go hiking along trails and to the beach! It was really nice to see that Fig was having a fun vacation with Monica while we were on our vacation. Monica is really great about communication, and was super accommodating of requests that we had. She accommodated a friend of ours coming over to the house to use one of the offices as a remote work space during the week, as well as a request from our neighbor pertaining to some hatchling birds she was concerned about. Definitely above and beyond what I would consider required of a dog sitter. Fig clearly had a great time with Monica, and we came home to a healthy dog and a tidy house and we’re very happy with our experience of her as a dog/house sitter, and will be happy to book with her again!

We found a gem in Maria! She took special care of our dogs and our home while we were away for a family wedding. We felt comfortable and confident leaving our dogs. Maria was happy to meet with us several times before our scheduled trip; once in the park and twice in our home, which made us feel that much more confident. She sent pictures and anecdotes two or three times a day, which we just loved. We will definitely use Maria again and we recommend her to anyone who needs a terrific dog/house sitter!
