“Ivy did a wonderful job at caring for our puppy, Kuma, while we were away! Ivy was very attentive to our puppy and asked great questions before to get a good sense of his needs. I really enjoyed getting pictures of Kuma throughout his time with Ivy. I have a very anxious dog and Ivy was super patient with Kuma until he warmed up to her. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!!”


“Ashanti took amazing care of both my home and dogs while I was away. She agreed to meet beforehand in person to get acquainted with my two dogs. She was super communicative before and during the booking to ensure no details were missed. When I got home, my place was spotless and my dogs were happy, and well taken care of. Ashanti is trustworthy and kind. I would highly recommend her.”


“Jennifer did an amazing job taking care of our cat! She sent regular updates and plenty of pictures and was always so responsive when we had questions. We will absolutely book her again next time we’re out of town.”


“Rachelle was an amazing cat sitter! She sent us regular pictures and updates which we loved, and when we came home after being away for a few days our apartment looked exactly as we left it. She will definitely be our go-to cat sitter going forward :)”


“Ariana did a phenomenal job watching our dogs for the weekend! She sent dozens of updates and pictures and made sure they got plenty of time outside and socializing while we were away. One of our dogs has an injured back and she was sure to give him special attention and made being away from them extremely easy and stress free. Would highly recommend Ariana!”



About: HI! Thanks for considering me to take care of your pet while you're away. I've always loved animals and have been lucky enough to care for many in my adult life. I'm returning to the platform after a 3 year hiatus after the recent loss of my cat. I have an abundance of love remaining and would love to direct it to as many pets as possible. A few details before booking - I am an MTA commuter, so there is only so far I can go at the moment. - I work in-office Monday thru Wednesday and remotely Thursday thru Saturday. I'm pretty flexible, but for in office days walks and drop-in visits would be early mornings and after 5pm. - Due to my shared living space, I am unable to offer boarding at the moment. - Please share as many details as possible about your pet! I want them to feel as happy and comfortable as I am able to make them while you're away Other than that, we can iron out any details once a request is sent! I look forward to meeting you and your furry loved ones :) I currently work 9 am - 5pm in office Mondays thru Wednesday and remotely the remainder of the week. I am allowed flexibility at my job so if needed I can make adjustment, but I need at least 2 weeks notice to move stuff around. I am very respectful of my clients' homes and abide by the standards and protocols they set. I want to make their pet as happy and comfy while they're away.

“Elias did a wonderful job taking care of our mischievous little beagle. Elias communicated well throughout the stay and we felt totally comfortable that our dog was in great hands. We would 100% book again.”



“Celine is the best. She came and met our little guy a week before hand. She made sure to arrange and align with us on everything beforehand. She kept in constant contact with us, sharing pictures, checking in, asking questions. And she left everything perfectly in order, with our pup smiling and happy to greet us when we got home. Like I said. The best.”


“Another great experience booking with Jaidi! We came home to a very happy dog and a very clean house. It is so nice to know that while we are away our dog is in good hands. Can’t recommend Jaidi highly enough!”


“Dave was amazing! We would work with him again in a heartbeat. We had a tough situation where we needed to change our original Rover sitter (on an 11 day trip) within a couple hours of the original booking beginning. I reached out to Dave and he met our two dogs and was able to jump into the sit with less than 24 hours notice. From his communication and photos I was reassured every day that the dogs and home were in great hands.”



“Nia was just wonderful! She is very reliable and communicated well. She sent lots of pictures and took my puppy out several times during the day. She was able to give my dog medication comfortably. I hope to be able to hire her again.”


“Greg house sat/dog sat for us when we left on a 4 day trip and he took such good care of our dog! He gave nightly updates and was more than amenable to our needs! I will be booking with Greg from here on out.”


About: I’m dependable and reliable, attention to detail is my jam and I’m comfortable walking with small and big dogs or taking care of cats, even if it takes a while to warm up to a stranger in their home/space! even the most prickly cats eventually get won over! I’m currently working part time and my schedule is flexible! I love being able to walk and get outside or stay indoors to hang out with cats and dogs! I live with a disabled cat so making sure the apartment is safe and cat-proofed is key, and when pet sitting I make sure all escape routes are secured, feeding times and walk times are kept to schedule, and that there’s always room for play time!


“Jen took such great care of our pups. She paid close attention to all of my concerns and she remembered the weird idiosyncrasies about both dogs. Jen seemed to give them all of the attention and love we could’ve asked for. So glad we found her!”


“Eliza was fantastic with our 2 challenging pups! She communicated with me every day so I know my dogs were safe and happy, and that put my mind at ease as well. Would definitely book again!”


“Henry did a great job looking after our Fajita. He looked after her, kept her company, and played around with her while I had to be away. He was very puntual and communicative. We would definitely book him again!”


“Jessica stayed at our home when she watched both our dog and cat. She sent me photos while we were gone and she left the house neat and clean. We would definitely use her again!”


About: I don't really go on vacation so I'm often pet sitting for my friends while they're away. Since I like it so much I figured I'd make a business out of it.

About: I'm a cat sitter with tons of experience helping stressed-out cats settle in after a move. No matter what the cat is, I can connect with them. Whether they’re super independent and like their space or total lovebugs who want all the cuddles and playtime — I vibe with all kinds of cat personalities. I work from home, so I’m around most of the time and can easily keep an eye on my little visitor, take care of his needs, and give him attention whenever he needs it. I don’t have any pets right now, but I want to. I live on the third floor in a spacious apartment with secure, mesh-covered windows — totally safe for cats.
