About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I only watch one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.

Cheryl is so dependable! Muppet is a little nuts but when I come home she's always happy and a little tired! Cheryl is also very tidy and cleans up after herself, which is not necessary but very much appreciated.

Elizabeth is a fantastic pet sitter from start to finish. She replies immediately, communicates frequently during her stay at our home, respects and fulfills all our requests, leaves our home immaculate, and, most importantly, cares lovingly for our three sometimes rambunctious dogs. She is great with both seniors and youngsters. I highly recommend her. We have already rebooked!

About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.

Dani was absolutely amazing. I truly felt like she loved my babies like her own. When my older dogs heating pad broke, she offered to bring her own from home so she stayed comfortable. She cleaned the house before she left, and was incredibly communicative. I know we've found a dog sitter for life!

Karen is phenomenal!! Our 3yo doodle LOVED her, as did we😊 From our first interaction through watching our girl she was truly one in a million!!! She is proactive, thoughtful, excellent communicator, on time, flexible, responsible, caring with exceptional knowledge about dogs.

About: I have hands on experience with dog walking, house sitting, and cat sitting, and I’ve also had dogs of my own, giving me a strong understanding of daily care, routines, and pet behavior. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail oriented, making sure your pet stays on their routine and feels comfortable at home. I provide updates, follow instructions closely, and prioritize your pet’s safety and well being at all times. I’m currently a nursing student working part time, but I have a flexible schedule and make time for pet care. With summer break coming up, I’ll have significantly more availability and flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and house sitting. I can accommodate more daytime care during the summer. I’m reliable with scheduling and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I have experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of proper introductions, routines, and supervision. I will always follow your pet’s routine closely. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, attentive, and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.

About: I love caring for cats and keeping them company. I have house/cat sitted in New York, San Juan, Santo Domingo, Rome, Copenhagen and Los Angeles. I am a freelance musician and I currently work part time doing deliveries mostly at night so my schedule is flexible to accommodate any needs. Most of my free time is during the day and then after 10pm. I take time to get to know your pets and discuss if they have special needs. I like to meet them when the owner is present, so they feel safe and we can talk about the interactions.

About: Nothing, I'm just a regular guy that dogs&cats know is a great person. I give off good vibes only. This is an opportunity to learn about pets in general and meet new people. Open to negotiation on a price we both can agree on. If you're a fan of anime, I'm your guy. Easily. I've fallen on hard times and am learning new skills currently. Which makes me available all the time. All day every day. Always available essentially. I like to be secure. Always lock the door before leaving the house. I’m a 2nd black belt in Taekwondo, blue belt in BJJ, and have practiced Muay Thai and Judo, and am a decorated wrestler. If it's a big dog I am sitting and anything happens we will become a tag team in perfect sync. The 2nd thing is organization and cleanliness. I despise clutter, hate leaving a mess. My greatest offer is security when I watch your pets and your home.

Alyssa was perfect for Daisy. She brought her chiweenie Oliver with her and Daisy loved it. Alyssa was thorough and communicative the entire time we were gone. She is a natural pet sitter. We will definitely call upon her again for upcoming trips.

This was the first time Karen babysat my children. She is very trustworthy and responsible. She followed all my lengthy instructions which included giving multiple medications. She let my two boxers sleep on top of her as they’re used to doing. Karen kept me updated with lots of pix. I didn’t have to worry about my house or my children while we were on vacation. We will certainly use her again. Thank you auntie Karen!

We don’t trust just anyone with our dogs or our home, but from the very first time we met Dani, we knew they were in the best hands. She was incredibly communicative right off the bat and took the time to ask about our preferences, even the little things that helped keep the dogs comfortable and on their normal routine. That level of care and attention made such a difference and immediately put us at ease. While we were away, Dani kept in regular contact, sending thoughtful updates and lots of pictures that made it clear our dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Coming home was such a relief! The house was spotless, everything was exactly as we left it, and our dogs were calm and content (which says everything). Dani is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, and it’s clear she treats pets like her own. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter.

We are so happy we found Natalie to take care of our baby girl Moana. Natalie spent a whole week with Moana, this was our first time leaving her for so long but we felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. Natalie gave us updates and took care of all her meds.
