About: I've been surrounded by the pets of friends and family for my whole life, as a college student, I love petsitting over summer break! I've worked with a diverse range of animals, providing care such as baths, walks, feeding, and most importantly, cuddling! I have experience with dogs with anxiety who need medication as well. I have tons of free time over summer break, and I'd love to help out with your furry friends. Currently on summer break, so pet care would fit seamlessly into my schedule. I'm used to dedicating my summers to animal care, so driving to multiple locations for feedings/walks multiple times a day, or overnight stays, is no problem. I live in an apartment with no front or back yard but am located right across the street from a large park. It may be a little small, but there is more than enough room for animals to roam around. As for pet care outside of the home, I take these duties very seriously and am more than happy to visit multiple times a day, or as necessary. I also frequently take pictures/videos to send updates, and am happy to do so at your immediate request.
“Oh goodness, I don't know where to begin! Miguel is wonderful! He kept in touch with me and if he had questions on Zona's care he reached out to me for clarity. Photos were sent to me daily with days activities! My home was secure and Zona cared for with Miguel. We will definitely use him again. Thank you Miguel!!”

“Diane was so kind and wonderful with our senior dog. She made such an effort to get to know us and our dog’s needs. She communicated clearly throughout her short stay. We can’t wait to book her again!”

“Coleen did an amazing job with the our three pups! Two are very nervous about new people, and they made fast friends. She kept us up to date while we were out of town and sent lots of pictures.”


“Liz did great !! Pups were happy & well cared for!! I wouldn’t say my dogs are hard, but I also wouldn’t say they’re the easiest. I have a five year old pup that has a lot of energy and anxiety and a 13-year-old who has G.I. issues & bone cancer. Liz did a wonderful job with both of them & I came home to wiggle butts & a clean house !! Communication was great & I’d definitely hire again!”

“Justice took good care of my dog and four cats. She was very communicative and had to follow a medication regimen and somewhat complicated feeding system. I will definitely book her again when I’m next out of town!”

“I liked Hanna from the get-go. She paid close attention when I showed her around, giving me confidence she’d know what to do. She sent photos and updates and clearly the cats were comfortable with her. She even managed to put them in their outdoor enclosure, which is one of their favorite things. Hanna left my house tidy and clean. No complaints!”

“Jamie was perfect. She went above and beyond with Bernie. And somehow our place looked better when we got back than when we left. Between this and all of the sticks Bernie got on his walks I'm wondering if witchcraft was afoot! Or maybe that's just the time of year talking and Jamie is simply a great person to hire!?”

“Joanna was amazing. My pups loved her and she went above and beyond to care for them. I felt rest assured they were in good hands while I was out of town. I highly recommend her and I will be having her come again in the future.”

About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve just really cherished being around animals, even the ones who aren’t super cuddly. I have a lot of patience and respect for each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their people are away. I work full time during the week and try to stay busy on the weekend, but I will absolutely work my weekend schedule around you/your pet’s needs. I have a big fenced backyard and plenty of space inside for house-trained pets to relax, whether that’s on the couch, a comfy chair, or the floor. I share my home with one dog, a terrier mix named Minnie. She’s playful and friendly, but if your dog prefers to keep to themselves, I can easily keep them separated. Older dogs sometimes find her a bit too energetic, while younger pups usually have a great time playing with her.
“Milly was great! She had great communication and took wonderful care of our dog and home. The entire process was very easy and we would be happy to her book again. Thanks Milly!”


“Camille is the best! She’s dog sat for our senior dog Rex a few times and it’s always good to know he’s well taken care of. She made him homemade treats, sends daily updates and photos and goes out of her way to be accommodating about drop off/pick up times. Would definitely recommend Camille if you’re looking for a caring , easygoing person to care for your dog!”

“Dylan was a wonderful sitter! He was very accommodating to my last minute plans and was able to come to my house to sit my dog Sabu. I think Sabu really enjoyed his time with him and I would recommend him to any pet parent!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She went above and beyond to make sure our senior dog was fed, played with, and snuggled, and she took wonderful care of our home while we were away for Thanksgiving. When our travel plans were derailed due to weather, she even stayed an extra day without hesitation to help us out. She kept us updated with multiple photos each day and was incredibly sweet and caring throughout. Highly recommend!”


About: Hi! My name is Jai (rhymes with pie) and I love animals of all kinds! I've had pets my entire life and one of my favorite things is taking them (yes, even my cats) on walks to explore the outdoors and get their exercise in. I'm a teacher looking for a fun summer side gig and I would love to not only feed and walk your pets, but play with them and show them love and affection. I am currently a teacher on summer vacation with some part-time nannying and babysitting work. My schedule is very free and clear this summer to be able to take care of you pets whenever you may need. I'm a quick learner and once I know where all the pet stuff is I will be able to provide the best quality care for them. I have experience with administering medication, as well as potty training/taking dogs out on a consistent schedule.
“Jo went well above and beyond while house sitting with our pup. Our senior dog had become a bit anxious with summer thunderstorms (and was probably sad to be separated from his little brother for our trip), but Jo picked up some extra supplies from her home. She distracted him with enrichment games, like a snuffle mat and licking pad. And of course gave him lots of good love along the way. Like many other reviews noted, she took good care of our home leaving it cleaner than she found it.”

Naylah is absolutely fantastic with our two Australian shepherds, one with senior needs and the younger one with high energy. She went above and beyond to take one on lengthy walks, and the other, more leisurely. Naylah is also a great communicator and took great care of our home. When we came home, our Aussies looked great, were calm and happy. Highly recommend Naylah.

Diane is delightful. Her presence was calming and made my pup fall in love right away. She was very educated, responsive, and attentive to all the fine details I provided for her stay. She left a tidy home + a very happy pup for me to come back to. We look forward to having Diane back soon.

Isabella did an incredible job watching our fur babies while we were away for our wedding! She was very responsive and kind and our three cats loved her :) She was ready and willing to stay over night and to administer medications for two of them. Thank you so much Isabella!

Danielle was fantastic and took wonderful care of my two big dogs. She was able to fill in at short notice and kept us updated the entire time. She is punctual, thorough with care instructions, and kept the house in great shape. Will definitely re-book in the future!

Jamie is the best! We can always tell that she takes such good care of our dog, Kenai, when we are gone. She does a great job at accommodating his set routine, and she was kind enough to water our plants & leave our house spotless for when we got back from vacation 🥲

Justice is the absolute BEST person to house sit and watch your pets. She followed all instructions perfectly and kept me updated on how my pets were doing. She’s also very responsive and kind. I’ve booked her many times before and I know I will again in the future. Thank you Justice!!! 🙏 🐕 🐈⬛

Lidi is just wonderful! She communicated with us regularly while we were away for a few days and took such wonderful care of our two pups (and our home)! She went above and beyond with everything, making sure our senior pups were eating well, giving multiple medications daily and walking them regularly. She was so thoughtful every step of the way and we were very grateful to have someone we really trusted to take care of our pups and our home! We’re already booking her for more trips! Highly recommend. 🩵

Nancy is fantastic! She is very conscientious and took excellent care of my senior dog. She asked great questions to make sure she kept the routine he is accustomed to and was very sweet with him. She sent pictures and gave updates which were fun to get and very appreciated. Don’t hesitate to book with Nancy. I highly recommend her!
