About: I’ve been a caretaker in one form or another since I was very young. I started as the neighborhood baby/pet/house sitter, and later became a professional nanny—where caring for children also meant caring for the family pets and homes. Although I stepped away from nannying, I still love caring for animals. I travel for work about a week out of every month, which makes having a pet of my own difficult right now, so pet sitting has been the perfect way to stay connected to animals while helping other pet parents feel at ease. I’ve been dog and house sitting for friends and referrals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, affection, attention, and reliable care. Whether your pup loves long walks, your cat loves playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and consistent companion, I’m happy to provide dependable, loving care in the comfort of their own home. I have a pretty flexible work week and I’m off on weekends. I wake up on the earlier side so I will have plenty of time to do the morning pet duties. I’m a homebody so my evenings are spent reading, catching up on work, watching tv- so that also leaves plenty of time in the evening for whatever your pet’s needs are! I do love to walk outside so hopefully your pet does too! I follow the house rules and routine to help the pets remain calm while their families are gone. I also believe consistency is key in building trust with them too. Safety first! My mother is a trauma nurse so I am always looking out for any potential danger and I’m a very cautious person.
About: I stand out for my hands on experience caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including senior dogs who require medication morning and night, cats who need medication, and dogs with anxiety who benefit from a calm, patient approach. I’m experienced with overnight care, vet visits, walks, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m reliable, attentive, and prioritize clear communication, providing regular updates so pet owners always feel confident and at ease. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings, as well as weekends. I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care, attention, and exercise. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I will always follow your pet’s routine closely. I pay close attention to behavior, comfort, and safety at all times, and I’m experienced with administering medication and caring for pets with anxiety or special needs. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, secure, and at home.
“Leaka treated our pets like family. She was very communicative with us, keeping us in the know with all our pets shenanigans. She was attentive with them, providing play and even snuggles. We could tell our pets were well taken care of. We will definitely look to Leaka for future pet sitting.”
“Daniela took great care of both our cats and our home. She was communicative, professional, and caring. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone I know.”
“Taylor took great care of my two chihuahuas and home while my husband and me were gone for the holidays. We so appreciated her availability on Christmas! The dogs seemed happy when we returned and the house was in good order.”
About: Hey, I’m Anthony! I’ve been around animals since I was born. Grew up on a mini farm and took care of countless of dogs, as well as cats. I actually have a Siamese cat! I’ve always felt so connected with animals my entire life and most (if not all) pets of friends/family love me :) I’ve also watched a lot of pets in my life from time to time, whether it’s for a friend, neighbor, or family member. I work part-time at the moment and I have a lot of time on my hands, aside from work and occasional hobbies. My work schedule is given out a month in advance, so I always know when I’m available in the future and when I’m not. I’m very good with respecting the boundaries of animals and providing the care that they need. Your animal needs a lot of playtime? I got that covered. Your animal needs company but is more on the shy side? Got it, we can just hang out! Let me know what is needed for your pet, how their usual day looks, and I’ll be more than happy to put my all into caring for them
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family, and family friends since I can remember. I have the most experience with smaller dogs, but have walked many puppies as well! I have just graduated college and moved home, and would love to spend my free time assisting those who need help with their pets! My schedule is open! I have a large backyard and no other dogs. I have had dogs previously, and have also taken care of others dogs in my home!
About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, I provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive dog sitting that pet owners can truly trust. My approach combines safety, structure, and genuine affection—ensuring every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while their owner is away. I have extensive experience with daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, puppy care, senior dog support, and managing multiple dogs at once. My goal is always the same: to create a calm and loving environment where every dog feels safe. Because your dog deserves more than just a sitter, they deserve a trusted companion! Since I work part-time and as a self employed, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets I look after. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine, giving me the ability to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a full-time schedule or any company, I’m often available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, making it easy to adapt to each pet’s normal routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is a natural and rewarding part of my everyday life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I make sure pets receive consistent feeding, fresh water, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection throughout the visit. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect and keep owners updated so they can feel confident that their beloved pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Elena did an awesome job with our dog, and she was incredibly communicative and helpful throughout the stay. She sent great pictures, let us know when anything needed our attention, and was always willing to help if we needed it. Would absolutely book her again!”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs with all kinds of personalities energetic , zoomy, clingy, dramatic, sleepy. plus I fully support snack breaks and emotional support belly rubs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already live an active lifestyle and enjoy being outdoors.

I follow the owner’s routine closely for feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication (if needed), and playtime so pets stay on their normal schedule. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, patience, and updates/photos for their owners
“Erika was wonderful! She took such good care of my girl (Rosie - a golden doodle)...took her on walks, watched movies with her (my dog loves to cuddle and watch tv), played with her and more. Erika stayed at my house for five days while we were away on vacation and kept it clean and nice - even washed sheets and towels (something extra!). Erika is responsible and dependable and am booking her for a lot more assignments! Thank you, Erika!”

Audry was amazing when she babysat our dog Lucy. She took great care of her and her discipline on sticking with our pup’s schedule was well appreciated. This was the first time having a sitter stay in our home, and the trust and vulnerability this takes is huge but Audry made the experience less stressful or nerve racking as she took great care of our home and our Lucy. We will definitely book again, and won’t hesitate to reach out!
Prerana & Aubrey were absolutely amazing. They stayed with our dog for 9 days and always kept us up to date with pictures and how he has been throughout the day. The house was even clean and well kept when we got home. We will absolutely be booking with them again!
Carlos took wonderful care of our 8 year old dog and our new puppy on very short notice, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. From the start, he was incredibly thoughtful, asking detailed follow up questions to really understand each dog’s specific routines, preferences, and needs. It was clear he genuinely cared about providing the best possible care. He stayed in our home during the booking and was very respectful of the space, leaving everything clean and well cared for. What stood out most was his availability and attentiveness, especially with such a young puppy who requires constant supervision and structure. Knowing our dogs were getting so much time, attention, and care in their own home gave us real peace of mind. We would absolutely book with Carlos again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter.
Taylor is amazing. She was wonderful with our dogs, who she willingly got to know prior to our trip. They immediately bonded with her, even tho one of our dogs is usually slow to connect with new people. She is super responsible and always communicated with us on a daily basis while we were gone. She also took good care of our home and plants. We highly recommend Taylor!
Cynthia watched my dog, Rocco, at my hotel while my husband and I went to dinner and a concert. She was very flexible about coming to our hotel. Cynthia had great communication and made me feel reassured that Rocco was in good hands. She sent texts and photos throughout the night. She took Rocco for a couple walks and fed him dinner. I would definitely recommend her others and will select her again the next time we are in Las Vegas.
Kim was awesome!!! When things fell through with another sitter we had to scramble to find a replacement last minute, and we feel so lucky to have found Kim!! She was able to help us out on short notice, was super communicative sending lots of updates and pictures, and left the house looking better than it did when we left! She was also incredibly patient with our shy puppy, and did an excellent job taking care of our whole pack.
Sarah did a great job! Our dogs are kind of a particular and fussy situation and it was handled wonderfully. We were on a cruise for two weeks and had very limited cell access; nonetheless, we felt comfortable leaving our home and our kiddos in Sarah’s hands. Flexible with being in our space with us there if needed, like before we left on the first day. Would definitely rebook and recommend!
Tanya was awesome! She checked in twice a day with photos, summarizing my dog's day and also any household items I had asked her to handle. She took great care of Thunder for 3 1/2 weeks which is a lot of handle! I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. When I got home, the house was very clean and organized, and she even left me a little welcome home note and surprise. ALL the stars!
Stephanie was wonderful! Very professional and calm demeanor. She took great care of my dog and house during a three day trip. She sent us updates and was great to work with and friendly. House was in perfect order and dog was happy on our return. Looking forward to having her back.
Erika is excellent and detail-oriented. She took notes on each of our cats, not just on their needs, but also on their personalities and habits. Erika sent us daily updates and pictures of our darling fur babies. Next time we go on vacation, we are booking Erika. You should too!
Wendy did great house/dog sitting for our Dutch Shepherd. She kept him on his schedule and kept us well informed on how he was doing. Sometimes our dog can get anxious when we are away and vomit from anxiety / but that didn’t happen on Wendy’s watch! He was comfortable with her. We returned to a healthy dog and a clean home. 🙏
Cecilia was great watching our dog & cat! They instantly got along well with Cecilila, and she was great at sending photos and updates and even giving our dog the time he needs to get out his energy. We could tell that they were very well taken care of by Cecilia!
