“Hannah is just wonderful! She is reliable and provides such attentive care for my mini Goldendoodle! Raja enjoys all the walks, play time, and cuddles! We appreciate the regular updates on Raja throughout the day. I highly recommend Hannah!!”

“Natalee stayed with my dog Billi, a codependent Cavalier King Charles :), while we were away for the weekend. She went above and beyond in giving him all the love and support and walks, while we were gone. I could tell from all the pictures she provided that was felt safe, secure, and loved! I look forward to future opportunities to work with Natalee.”

“Sarah is wonderful! She took great care of my cats, sent regular updates and photos, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My girls warmed up to her nicely and even snuggled with her which made me so happy to see how comfortable they were with her. I would definitely recommend Sarah and cannot thank her enough :)”

“Niva is truly exceptional — we cannot recommend her enough! She took care of our 2.5-year-old cat for an entire month, and from the very beginning, she was absolutely wonderful. Despite accepting our request on short notice, she showed up with full commitment, not only caring for our cat with incredible attention and love but also looking after our home as if it were her own. Niva is an excellent communicator — proactive, thoughtful, and consistently keeping us updated with daily photos and messages that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she took the time to deeply understand our cat’s personality and needs, asking insightful questions and going above and beyond to ensure comfort and happiness. Our cat adored her instantly, and honestly, we’re convinced Niva is a bit of a cat whisperer! We even learned a lot from her during this experience. When we unexpectedly had to extend our trip by a week, Niva was incredibly understanding and accommodating. She even went out of her way to help us explore backup options, which meant so much to us during a stressful moment. On top of everything, she handled deliveries, collected mail, looked after our plants, and left our home in a pristine condition. Niva was truly a godsend. Both we and our cat absolutely love her, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to work with her again. We hope to have her back soon!”

“Monica was amazing from the beginning to the end! Super flexible and open to meeting when the schedule works best for both parties. She sent multiple photos and videos daily which was perfect when we were missing our bud. She even taught our old dog a new trick! Highly recommend her for anyone and would certainly reach out again to have her take care of our dog for us! Thank you!”

“Tianyu (Scarlett) was absolutely incredible! From the start, she did a meet & greet with our dog Lola and asked thoughtful questions — setting the tone for just how attentive and caring she is. She house sat and cared for Lola for 5 days, sending detailed daily updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. She was also extremely responsive whenever we reached out, and when we got home, the house was spotless. Truly above and beyond care — for both Lola and our home! We’d absolutely recommend Scarlett to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet and home with the utmost care. We’ll definitely be booking her again! 🐾”

“Mary was amazing! She dog sat at our home with our 35 lb frenchy-pit mix. She was with her for 4 days. She sent multiple pictures a day and helped a nervous fur-mama feel very comforted. She left the house immaculate! I feel so lucky to have found her. Thank you, Mary!!”

“Erika is professional, kind, responsible, and kept me updated on my pup while I was away. I had her stay at my home while I was away. She was clean and organized and make sure to send me pictures of my little guy. She was excellent and I highly recommend.”

“Olivia is the perfect sitter! She is very thorough and reliable, and provided pictures and updates. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing that our pets were in good hands.”

“Juliana was such an amazing housesitter. She took fabulous care of my little cat as well as left my place looking better then when I walked out the front door! Juliana was thoughtful in her updates to me about how my kitty was doing. I highly recommend her.”

“Esther was great, would book with her again! She took the time to come for a meet and greet ahead of time, followed everything we asked to take care of our dog, including medication, and took good care of our place. Thanks!”


“Alexis will always be my go-to cat sitter. She took amazing care of my Persian cat while we were away for 10 days. She followed all instructions carefully and kept me updated regularly with messages and photos. Milo absolutely loved spending time with her. She gave him plenty of cuddles and playtime. She also taught him a trick!! I had complete peace of mind the entire time I was away. I truly appreciate everything Alexis did for my cat.”

“Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.”

“Lynn was a godsend for my family and took amazing and very loving care of our very active golden doodle. I would not hesitate to rebook her again. She’s very trustworthy, communicative and left the house in tip top condition. She’s so personable that I can see her becoming my friend.”

“Thank you so much for caring for Pliny. You went above and beyond. Thanks for walking her and playing with her, and helping her feel comfy while we were gone. And the special gift of framed pics was really sweet!”

“Elizabeth did a wonderful job caring for our little dog, Coco. She connected well with Coco during our meet and greet. Coco is a bit shy and she warmed to Elizabeth immediately. While we were away, Elizabeth sent us updates of how the two of them were doing. She also took excellent care of our home — leaving things nicer than she found them! I would highly recommend her as a dog and house sitter. We are looking forward to having her back!”


About: I’ve learned that the secret to a happy pup is listening to what they are trying to tell us. That’s why I adapt my sitting style to your dog's mood and personality. Dogs experience the world through their noses. If you're dog is an explorer; I am happy to accommodate their need for a slower, sniff-heavy walk. If your dog struggles with anxiety and is hesitant to even step outside the door, don't worry. I encourage them gently and treat them with the same love and respect that you do! I am available any weekend and look forward to spend spending time with your pets. Please reach out to me for availability, I’m really flexible. I set reminders for important tasks so that I can keep your pet on their schedule. I monitor any changes in their behavior, so that I know when something is wrong.

About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life: dogs, cats, fish, rodents, parakeet. My sister is a marine mammal trainer, and I appreciate the advice she’s shared about shaping behavior and interpreting body language. I have yet to meet a dog I don’t like (and vice versa!) I’m a physician assistant student finishing up my degree in May. I currently have a lot of flexibility with scattered zoom classes and studying. Looking for pet sitting or walks to break up the studying ◡̈ Pets need love, attention, and patience. I walk my mom’s dog daily and tend to all her grooming (and of course give her lots of pets).
“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! 🥰🐾”

“Natalie was so great!! She was very kind and flexible and even left the house clean. She sent me lots of updates of the dogs and followed all the instructions. This was my first time having someone I don’t know watch my dogs and she was fantastic!”

Sookie had a great time with Catherine! Catherine was kind, professional, and followed our care instructions for Sookie to the tea. She sent lots of photos and videos that eased our minds while we were away. We will be booking with her again soon! Thank you Catherine!

Awesome service we’re very happy with the way everything went. Tiana was very communicative and sent us pictures. She took the dogs out for walks and fed them on time and gave them their medication and of course gave them all the lovin they needed while we were away. We were very happy with her service.

Savannah has been such a blessing to our family. For the first time ever, I’ve felt comfortable leaving my 16 year old dog with someone and go on a trip with my entire family. I know my dog is well taken care of with Savannah. She is loving and caring which puts my dog at ease and she is on top of communication, putting me at ease. Thank you for everything!

Tracy is an amazing pet sitter, her and her partner watched boba for a couple days while we went out of town. She was super responsive when we first reached out and set up a time to meet boba. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She was understanding of bobas quirks and patient with him. Highly recommend her!

Skylee was amazing!!! She was so sweet and caring with my cats and also extremely communicative with me the whole time. I felt super comfortable while she watched them and would highly recommend. She was very detail oriented too and knew exactly what my kitties needed while I was gone!

Vanessa was a wonderful house and pet sitter! She asked all the right questions and took such good care of our dog while we were gone. Our Paisley has a hard time being left alone and she was very considerate of that and even went the extra mile to get her to eat when she was being finicky. We received plenty of updates and she left our house looking as it was when we left. We'd book her again and our dog Paisley absolutely loved her! The cat Leela loved her too and she's pretty aloof!

Paola was right on time to pick up my puppy and sent me regular updates of everything. She accommodated my weird schedule and did it last minute with only one day notice. My puppy is only 6 months and has TONS of energy. Everything was fine in my home and she even cleaned up my puppy’s messes from being left overnight in the house..I. Would definitely use her services again.
