Boone can be a stubborn old hound and rather particular with the people he trusts. He took to Seth right away and it out my mind at ease. Seth’s experience and easy demeanor were a major stress relief for me. Communication was great and I had no worries while I was out of town. Will absolutely book again!

Anne did a great job petsitting Charlie. She watched him in the afternoon when I had to go into work. She arrived on time, followed all the instructions we provided for his care, and we came home to a happy puppy.

About: I’ve cared for dogs&cats since elementary school. I’d find myself naturally responsible for feeding, walking, cleaning, and loving them. I’ve done cat sitting for a friend for as long as a month, and dog sitting basically all my life since I grew up them. I’m experienced in caring for pups less than a year old, and older dogs as well~ I worked at Dogtopia where I handled over 40 dogs in one room! I have experience handling dog scuffles and managing dog behavior. My current schedule is open and free Sunday through Saturday. The holidays being an exception as I will be out of town for the week of Christmas. I am prepared to meet the needs of your 4-legged loved one in any way that they need. Request and I will deliver as best as I can. I believe our furry friends deserve respect and have boundaries as we do.

About: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, a lifelong dog lover, neuroscience researcher (spinal cord injury repair), and dog mom of 7 years. I prioritize long, enriching walks with my dog Saint (we average ~10K steps/day) and plenty of playtime. I’m attentive, gentle, and safety-focused, with years of caregiving experience from babysitting. I can’t wait to meet your pup and treat them like my own. I work from home and can offer flexible hours during both weekdays and weekends. Early mornings, lunchtime walks, and evening drop-ins are all possible—just message me with your preferred timing. I live in a clean, nonsmoking apartment and have one friendly small dog. Visiting pups must be potty trained and comfortable around other dogs. I use secure leashes/harnesses, never walk off-leash outside fenced areas, and follow your feeding, crate, and medication routines precisely. Meet-and-greets and up-to-date vaccines are required for everyone’s safety.

About: Hi! My name is Barb. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and small animals for over 10 years, including my own pets. I am available for daily walks, feeding, playtime, drop-in visits, litter box cleaning, and medication routines. I have experience with active and senior pets, shy cats, and animals that need extra patience and reassurance. Puppies and kittens are also welcome. Hope to hear from you soon! My schedule is flexible for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the week. I’m available for both recurring and occasional pet care, and I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine while their owners are away. I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication when caring for pets in a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and care instructions, pay close attention during walks and visits, and always make sure pets feel comfortable, calm, and secure in their environment.

Michael was prompt and responsive and took great care of Mindy, adjusting to her needs. There were a couple unexpected surprises along the way - one major one which we also did not expect while away - and that was gardeners in the back yard…which Mindy wasn’t very happy with - but Michael swooped in and dealt with it as well as he could, and remained professional. From the pictures, Mindy seemed to enjoy their time together. We would invite Michael back again!

Victoria willingly accepted to sit my dog while I went on a last-minute work trip. She sent daily pictures, kept up with the dog's schedule flawlessly, and maintained constant communication. Truly a professional in every sense of the word. I'll seek her services again and recommended her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy sitter.

About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole entire life. I have dog-watched for neighbors since I was about 12 years old. I am very loving towards animals and am skilled in washing and walking them. There is nothing better than getting to hang out with animals as they provide an unmatched love in our lives. I currently own two disabled dogs so I like to think no challenge is too big or too small. I enjoy dogs and cats of all sizes. I am very good with time management so I plan to work with you to make sure your pet is getting the best attention while you are away from home. I appreciate your time in considering me for the jobs! I work a remote 9-5 so most evenings I am open but I am willing to schedule something out between work and your pet if you need me mid day I listen to the energy the animal is giving off. I try my best to clear myself of negative feelings and stress so the animals feel more at ease amongst my presence

Sam is one for the best pet sitters you’ll ever find! She is responsible, reliable, incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and truly a cat whisperer. Even my shy cat took a liking to her right away! Excellent communication and her beautiful spontaneous pet photos are a big bonus! She also watered my plants and they thrived. I came home after nearly three weeks away to two healthy and happy cats. I commend her to you 100%!

About: I've pet sit for my friends dogs and have raised a corgi puppy from 10 weeks old! I love dogs and will treat yours like mine. I have a playful and friendly corgi who plays well with all dogs. Plus I give excellent scratches. I will send a bunch of photos, as long as you don’t mind me spamming you with them! We do at least 3 walks a day, dog parks after work, and fun adventures on the weekends. Normally we eat breakfast around 8:30, go for a potty walk, and play. During the weekday, I take them out every 4 hours and do mental puzzles at home. If the weather is nice, we will go to a nearby dog park. On weekends, we tend to go out for outdoor adventures if the weather is nice I live in an apartment with ample walking nearby. Super dog friendly neighborhood. We have space to set up crates if needed. I am a neat person and will clean up after myself and the dogs.

About: Hi there! I love animals and have been dog sitting since 2012! I myself have owned dogs growing up and adopted a cat named Albus in 2014! I also have experience with fish, bunnies, chickens, geckos, chameleons, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and frogs! I previously volunteered at a local zoo putting together meals for animals so I had plenty of experience with meal prep and feedings, even with live food.

I am free after work on most Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and after 7pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. House sitting may be limited to the weekend depending on my work schedule. I may have some flexibility with advanced notice, please feel free to message me if you aren’t seeing availability for what you need. Most of my availability will be during weekends at any time of day. I love playing with animals and will happily keep them entertained! I also will give plenty of pets and affection if you pet enjoys that! I have worked with many dogs and cats of all ages and levels of energy and can accommodate accordingly! I love snapping photos (if ok’d) of your pets to share with you!

Jennifer was great watching our 3 cats over a long weekend! She was very easy to get in touch with, responded quickly, was very responsible and reliable, sent great updates and photos and of course took great care of our cats and got to know all of their personalities. She even got our very shy girl to come out when she came for her visits! We will be using her again for future trips!

Eliza is the best! She just gets it, and you can tell as soon as you meet her. She knows how to make even nervous dogs feel comfortable, gives each dog individualized care tailored to their temperament, didn't mind a high maintenance picky eater, sent lots of pics, made me feel so secure they were in good hands! Can't sing her praises enough
