“Paola did an incredible job of looking after my sweet girl while I was away! She made sure she had all of the information needed and I felt extremely comfortable leaving my baby in great hands. Paola went above and beyond all of my expectations and I was so grateful for her kindness she showed to me and my sweet girl. Paola sent frequent updates, provided photos, offered suggestions, and even brought a new harness and leash for my puppy. It is very clear that Paola has a true gift and love for animals. I would absolutely rebook with her again and highly recommend her to others! Thank you so much again, Paola!”

“Anthony did amazing with drop-in visits for my bunny. Despite being new to caring for a bunny, he didn’t bat an eye to accept a request and help care for her over the holidays. He was super attentive to the unique care she needed. He is trustworthy, communicative, and punctual. He will be my go-to from now on for any pet needs in the future!”

“Leo did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of my dogs, Bentley and Abby. This was the first time I’ve ever used a dog-sitting service, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Leo was incredibly professional, attentive, and made sure my dogs were well cared for while I was away. Being away from your dogs can be stressful, and the most important thing is knowing they’re in great hands. Leo gave me that peace of mind and made the whole experience easy and reassuring. I highly recommend Leo to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be using him again in the future. Thanks again, Leo!”

“One can tell that Andria loves cats.... and they love her. She was caring and loving towards my kitties. She even cleaned up and repotted the plant one of my kitties tore up. She sent multiple pictures daily and was always on time. You can't go wrong with Andria.”


About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. As I child, every birthday and Christmas wish was always the same: a dog or a cat of my own. Since that wasn't possible at the time, I spent my childhood caring for and rescuing animals whenever I could --including dogs, cats, swans, pigeons, porcupines, wolf, piglets and many others in need of help. Animals have always been a huge source of inspiration, peace, comfort and joy in my life. I grew up drawing dogs, writing children's stories about animals, and naturally connecting with them wherever I went. And somehow, that feeling has always seemed mutual. Dogs and cats often approach and choose me even in a crowd, and if you ever meet me on the street, don't be surprise, I'll say hello to your pet, before I say hello to you. Pet care naturally fits very well into my daily routine because I use to work on my schedule and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and creating a calm, loving environment around them. I also hold a Canine and Feline CPR and First Aid certification, which allows me to care for pets with extra attention, responsibility, and preparedness. My work flexibility allows me to dedicate real attention, affection, playtime, walks, and supervision throughout the day, not just quickly check-ins. I've always had a deep love and respect for animals of all of kinds: dogs, cats, fish and even parrots! I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality, energy, and emotional needs, so they can feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable while their owners are away. And YES, if they need to sleep/rest very close to a human, I will be very happy to be that human! Whether it's a walk, daycare, boarding, or drop-in visit, I will do always with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. I'm also comfortable caring for senior pets and following complex medication or care routines with great attention and responsibility. I'm also fully comfortable working in video-monitored environments for additional peace of mind and transparency. I understand how important communication and trust are, especially with this beautiful souls, so I'm always happy to provide regular updates, video and photos, throughout the experience. I live in a comfortable apartment with my husband and no kids around or other pet, with a shaded balcony that has been fully pet-proofed for safety. My furry friends are welcome to choose whether they’d like to spend some time outdoors or simply relax inside, always in a safe and supervised environment. The area where I live is very quiet and dog friendly, with little traffic and a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Just a short walk away, there are two wonderful areas for daily walks and outdoor time: a beautiful waterfront path where pets can enjoy fresh ocean air and peaceful sunset walks, as well as a fully equipped dog park with separate areas based on dog size -perfect for safe play, exercise, and maintaining healthy socialization. I always strive to create a calm, clean, loving and emotionally safe environment where pets can fell relaxed, comfortable, and cared for while away from their owners.

“Caitlyn was great to my babies! We ended up having a little emergency (our stove turned on & shot glass everywhere); Caitlyn was quick to make sure my babies were okay & then treated my home like her own!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I now have 2 cats. I’ve done puppy and senior dog care. I’m experienced with cat care, litter boxes and medications, nail clippings and more. Pet sitting will be my full source of income, and something I enjoy and will have an open schedule for. Available weekdays and weekends. On weekends preferably morning to early afternoon. My dogs always had a fenced yard, but I moved into an apartment so they went on multiple walks a day due to not having a yard. Fed twice a day, walks throughout the entire day. I’m experienced with giving dogs medicine and shots due to one of mine having diabetes. I am very experienced with puppies I’ve had three. Adaptable to anything that a pet owner requests for their dogs care. I currently own 2 cats, one is 6 the other is 2. One male one female, my female is a rescue so I’m experienced with more timid/shy cats. I know cleaning litter schedules, importance of dry/wet food diets.

Michelle is absolutely amazing! She gave me such peace of mind and my fur babies could not have been taken better care of. She's very responsive, took the time to get my one sick baby to eat when he was NOT into it, and she sent me frame worthy pictures daily. Michelle, you're a freaking ROCK STAR 😻

Jennifer was amazing! She was able to help out last minute when my plans fell through. She was professional, prompt, and sent me many photo and video updates of my cat to make me feel at ease. I returned home to a clean apartment and a very happy kitty. I will definitely book with Jennifer again!

Great sitter!! My plans changed at last minute and Nick was very understanding and flexible with me, I really appreciated it! He took notes and followed every request I had for my pets to a T!! They were very well cared for and were so calm when I came home that I know they felt at ease with him. I plan on booking again and highly recommend Nick for drop ins! Nick, thank you again, hope to see you soon!

Alyiah is the best! She is very responsible and it’s always a pleasure having her as a pet sitter. My cat loves her so much! He is always so happy to see her and they have a great time together. This is our second time with Alyiah and I know I won’t find anyone better than her!

Jen was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter! She took wonderful care of my cats, kept me consistently informed, and sent plenty of photos that gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared and paid close attention to every detail. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would 100% book with Jen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.
