About: In addition to my extensive experience with cats and dogs, I also have experience with rabbits, ferrets, and other pets. Not I’m I experienced with these animals, I also have intense curiosity about them, and I enjoy learning more and educating myself about their care. As a teacher, I have evenings and weekends available to care for your furry family members. I will soon have my summer off and I will have unlimited time to care for your pets! I am very careful to follow all instructions and safety recommendations. My first priority is to keep your pet healthy, as well as engaged and secure. I enjoy spending they deserve, loving, responsible, affectionate care.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have owned dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve also had cats for over 10 years, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give every pet. I understand that each animal is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to provide the care they need. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners peace of mind through reliable, loving care and regular updates. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week for visits, feeding, playtime, walks, and companionship. I make it a priority to stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s a quick check-in or spending extra time giving your pet attention and affection, I’m committed to providing reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, playtime, and any special care needs. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so I can provide care that feels consistent and reassuring. I also make sure pets always have access to fresh water, receive plenty of attention and affection, and remain secure while I’m in the home. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for both your pet and your home. I treat every home with respect, keep owners updated with messages and photos, and strive to provide dependable care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Life time owner of cats and dogs throughout his life. Has been watching friend and family pets for several years. Experienced with cats and small to medium sized dogs. I currently work full-time in office Mon-Fri, but am available weekends and weeknights (including overnight). I can be flexible to accommodate your needs. I will meet with potential clients face to face prior to accepting any request. Firstly, to go over any specific needs or questions of your pet and second, to get to know you as an owner.
“It’s hard to go away when you have a senior dog who is arthritic, deaf and can’t see. It’s a huge comfort to know that he and our other pup are being looked after by someone as caring as Heather. She is the best!”
“Grace is very good with our Clover. Daily walks and exercise/ play are Clovers favorite. Thanks for taking such good care of her and communicating promptly with us .”
“Kat was an absolutely awesome dog sitter. My husband and I were looking for someone to stay in our home last minute and care for our dogs and Kat was immediately responsive and proactive. She was timely, followed instructions, provided updates throughout the day and the dogs were very well cared for. I would highly recommend Kat as a dog walker or dog sitter. We hope to work with her again!”
“Karime was amazing! She accommodated a very last minute request and took great care of my girls while they were dealing with some serious allergies. She communicated consistently and promptly and also took note of when things seemed concerning. Great and caring sitter!”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our dog and extremely communicative throughout all of her visits. We will definitely be using her services again in the future and can’t recommend her enough.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong background in animal health and professional husbandry. Through my experience shadowing veterinarians, I’ve developed a trained eye for animal behavior and wellness. I know how to recognize the subtle signs of when a pet is feeling "off" or needs extra attention. I also have professional husbandry experience working with mice in a laboratory setting. This background means I am incredibly detail-oriented, strictly adhere to feeding and medication schedules, maintain rigorous hygiene protocols, and have a gentle touch with delicate or timid animals. I currently work remote for Yale as a PhD student, which allows me a great deal of flexibility to prioritize your pet's needs. On weekdays, I am fully available except maybe a few hours throughout the week for walks, playtime, and feedings. My weekends are completely open for overnight boarding, ensuring your pup is never left alone for long periods and receives constant companionship and care. My home is a 'pet-first' environment where safety and mental stimulation go hand-in-hand. For my two cats, I maintain a strict vertical-space setup and regular 'puzzle feeding' to keep them engaged. I am highly experienced in managing slow introductions and reading subtle body language to ensure all animals feel secure. I maintain a chemical-free cleaning routine to protect sensitive paws and noses, and I’m diligent about 'double-door' safety to prevent escapes. Whether it's ensuring fresh water fountains are clean or providing a quiet, crate-ready retreat, I treat every guest with the same meticulous care I give my own cats.
“Emily is amazing !! She was able to dog sit for us on Easter while we attended a wedding!! She communicated with us through out the day, sent pictures of Panda! We felt so at ease knowing Panda was in great hands!! We will definitely continue to use Emily!”
“Sophia was great with our dogs! One of our pups had some tummy troubles while we were away and she was especially a trooper for handling that for us! Would definitely recommend!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 16. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I am comfortable taking dogs for long walks around the neighborhood or to the dog park, and I have stayed in home as a pet sitter. My family has a dog and I am involved in her care and play time on a daily basis. I have a very flexible schedule and have lots of time for your pup. I am available for late morning and afternoon walks and playtime. I have an energetic 60 pound dog. I am used to walking a strong dog and can easily handle a dog that may pull. I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood and/or play in your yard. I will work with whatever routine your dog is accustomed to.
About: What Sets me Apart? Love, Experience, and Trust. I'm just not a dog walker — I'm a lifelong animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. We know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust when you can’t be there. What makes me different is simple: I lead with care. I don’t rush through walks or treat this like a numbers game. Every dog I work with gets our full attention, patience, and affection — because that’s what they deserve. I take the time to learn your dog’s routines, quirks, and comfort zones. Whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and sensitive, I adjust to their needs and make sure they feel safe, understood, and happy while you’re away. This isn’t just a service — it’s a relationship built on trust, reliability, and compassion. Because when you leave your dog with someone, you’re not just handing over a leash — you’re handing over peace of mind. And I take that seriously. Hi there! I’m available for pet sitting after 3:30 PM on weekdays and open on weekends. I work full-time during the day but make your pet’s care a top priority when I’m off. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate care in the afternoons or weekends, I’d love to help! Caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—is something I take to heart. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care based on their routine, needs, and personality. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, play, and rest. In a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible, keeping pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar space. My focus is always on making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for, just like family.
“I am so impressed with Karina and Teresa. My dogs loved them. I had never left my dogs overnight before (obviously an over protective parent) but did after a FaceTime and meeting. They did everything I asked for and some. So I couldn’t recommend them more. They sent me photos and made some recommendations for me that were right on!”

Karime was amazing! She accommodated a very last minute request and took great care of my girls while they were dealing with some serious allergies. She communicated consistently and promptly and also took note of when things seemed concerning. Great and caring sitter!
I was so pleased with Joo’s ability to connect with my 2 dogs. Both are rescues and have specific needs: Lizzie is fearful and very anxious; Quigley was a stray—perhaps for years—and is house trained only when his human is home. She handled both of their needs with compassion and kindness. They warmed up to Joo quickly. Joo sent my photos and videos of my kids while I was away. It was obvious that they were having a really good time. That put my mind at ease and a smile on my face.
Dustin stayed with my dog for a week at my house and he was great! My dog (pit mix) is extremely nervous and has separation anxiety but Dustin was very compassionate and took good care of my pet. This was the first time traveling that I didn’t worry that my dog was stressed out. I would highly recommend Dustin. He communicates well and was willing to walk the dog at any hour. Lots of pictures too!
Jordan was excellent to work with. She set up a meet and greet prior to house/pet sitting with us and was very professional. She hit it off right away with our dog, Daisy. She spent a full week at our house with our dog, bunny, and fish. We received daily updates with pictures and videos which were fun and something we looked forward to each day while we were away. We came home to a clean house and tired pup. I would highly recommend Jordan to house and pet sit - nothing but great things to say! Thank you, Jordan!
Debbie watched our senior dog while we were out for a few days. Higgs was perfectly well cared for and it made our trip much more enjoyable to have Debbie watching over dog and keeping him comfortable in his old age. We will definitely use Debbie for future trips when we need someone to stay at our house and watch over Higgs.
We had such a great experience with Heather and Chris as our dog and house sitters. From the moment we connected, they were friendly, professional, and clearly very experienced with both pets and home care. When we unexpectedly needed to extend our stay, Heather and Chris came through without hesitation. That flexibility and willingness to help on short notice meant a lot to us and really showed how dependable they are.
Katy was a fantastic pet sitter! She took great care of Peewee and made sure he were happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. Communication was smooth and reliable, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I came home to happy an happy dog and everything just as I left it. I would absolutely recommend Katy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Ran did an amazing job watching our cat Cannoli while we were gone over the holidays! We had another sitter cancel last minute and Ran truly saved the day. She had great communication, sent lots of pictures, and left our apartment spotless. We were so reassured during our trip that Cannoli was in the best hands. We will absolutely book with Ran again in the future!
Steven was absolutely wonderful. He has such a calming, kind energy, and you can immediately tell he’s great with animals. Theo clearly loved him and was very comfortable in his care. When I came back from work, my house was clean, Theo was happy and well taken care of, and I truly felt at ease the entire time. Steven also sent me videos and photos throughout the night, which I really appreciated and found reassuring. I will definitely be booking with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Janalie is the best dog sitter around. She gave so much love and attention to our Labrador retriever and has amazing energy from the moment she met the dog. She kept us up to date and sent photos throughout her stay. Our doggo was in good spirits when we got home!
Scheduled a house sit for 3 nights, but Cuong didn’t stay at the apartment overnight as requested. My cat looked like he had good care though, but he was skittish a little on our return, which may be due to the fact he was alone overnight, even though we requested Cuong to stay at our place, prior to agreeing to the call.
