“Gabby is simply the best. She was amazing and flexible with the needs of our senior girl, Jersie. She sent picture updates throughout our trip and kept us in the loop of what was going on. We are so thankful for her compassion and are looking forward to booking with her again ❤️”

“Kathleen was fantastic! I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. During our meet and greet she came prepared with questions I hadn’t even considered to make sure that she felt that she could be a good fit for my dog Tiger. I felt super comfortable and confident leaving Tiger with her. Throughout the stay she texted me updates and pictures, so I was always in the loop. Tiger really liked her, and so did I. I will be booking with her again, and would recommend her services to anyone looking for care for their fur baby!”

“Olivia was great with our kitty for two weeks while we were out of town. She sent pictures and kept us updated on any new behaviors or issues. We will definitely be asking her to care for our kitty in the future!”

“Kathleen was amazing!! She took great care of Charlie and sent me pictures and updates to ease my mind! Would definitely recommend and plan on using her from now on”


“Lauren was a fantastic house sitter! She sent daily updates and pictures to let us know everything was going great. She showed up on time and communicates very clearly. My house was clean and she even washed the sheets and took out the garbage. My three dogs were happy and well taken care of when we arrived home. I would highly recommend her and will hopefully use her again in the future!”
“Cecilia is a great dogsitter! She’s very communicative, which helped me to feel at ease leaving my dog with her while I was gone. She followed all of the instructions I left and took great care of Murph and my apartment.”

“I really felt like my dog Roxy was living her best life while I was away! She took Roxy for walks, hung out on the couch and backyard, and sent tons of pictures to me. She even watered my outside garden. Lauren is very experienced, asks all the right questions and I knew I soon as we did the meet and greet that my dog would be in good hands while I was out of town. I will be using her again if I need someone to house sit and care for my dog.”

“We hired Brendan to stay at our house for our week long trip to watch our Orange Tabby, Popsicle. We had a list of things we wanted him to do on a daily basis for Popsicle and he was diligent in following that list. We received a morning and evening photo and corresponding with Brendan was very easy. Brendan cares deeply for being on time and being responsible and was certainly a professional pet sitter for our cat who we love so much.”

“Christiane did great with our 4-year-old Yorkie. He can be a bit of a stinker - barks and wants to play 24/7 - but he seemed happy and very well taken care of. She’s communicative and in my opinion went above and beyond what I would expect from a sitter! Would definitely recommend!”

“Jailen took the best care of our sweet girl and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay. She was communicative, kept me in the loop with a little scare, and kept the house tidy. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve never not had a pet in my house. From dogs to cats to hamsters to fish to rabbits to guinea pigs, I have taken care of them all. My own cat is the light of my life and I bring that same level of care when I watch other people’s pets. I work in office M,T,W,F from 8:30-4:30. I am remote on Thursdays. I have a lunch break everyday so I can do a lunch time potty break or check-in in addition to an after work walk/check-in/potty break/play time. I’m pretty available on weekends as well for walks and check-ins. I work remote on Thursdays so I can work from home with your fur baby. (I live with my sister who works remote so my kitty isn’t by herself) I can crate your dog if needed. I can check on them at lunch time on the days I work in office. I make sure to provide play time/stimulation/walks. I can also administer medicine if needed.

About: I’ve cared for various dog and cat breeds/personalities throughout my life, I love them all! I have some experience administering medications to dogs and cats. I am patient and consistent when it comes to following rules or a routine. I will treat your babies like they’re my own! My daily routine includes caring for my 3 kitties by playing with, cleaning up after, and feeding/watering them; I’d love to do the same for your pets! I’m familiar with special diets and administering various forms of medication, as my cats and other pets I sit, are on medicated diets and take additional medications. I currently have open availability, save a few social obligations over then next two months, but I’m flexible and communicative so we can always discuss timelines! I treat other’s spaces with care and consideration, I like to be respectful above anything else. I love all animals and treat the pets I sit with the same care I do my own.
“Adrienne was fantastic with our large furbaby. He is an anxious soul, but did well with her and seemed happy and content with her. She was very professional and courteous and set our minds at ease as well as allowed us to enjoy time away from him with no worries. I highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I've housesat and taken care of dogs for friends and family members since I was a kid. I've been told I have an energy that animals really respond to. I can no longer have a pet of my own, and I miss my dog every day, I just want to be around dogs again, and help out pet parents. I just opened a bar on my own so it is practically impossible for me to have a dog full time, but my schedule is also flexible enough where I could make sure to give a lot of attention to a dog on a part time basis. I am happy to watch a dog at your home or mine, I have a fenced yard and plenty of parks and trails nearby to walk around.
About: With 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I know every pet has their own routine, quirks, and personality, and I treat each one that way. Whether your dog needs regular walks and playtime, your cat prefers a quiet companion and a consistent feeding schedule, or your pets just want company while you're away, I'll keep their day as close to normal as possible. I follow the routines you set, from feeding times to potty breaks to bedtime. I haven't administered medication before, but I'm comfortable learning and happy to follow your instructions step by step. I'll also keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing they're happy and safe. I'd love a meet and greet so your pets and I can get to know each other before you head out. I’m reliable and detail-oriented, and I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their own home. I can follow specific care instructions, administer basic medications if needed, and keep your home tidy while you’re gone. I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful, so I provide updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re being well cared for. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I am available for pet care before and after work as well as on weekends. I can provide morning and evening care including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. On weekends, I have more flexible availability and can spend additional time with your pets. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine and receive consistent attention and care while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and environment. I carefully follow all care instructions including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special requests. Safety is very important to me. I make sure doors and gates are secure, pets are supervised appropriately, and their environment stays clean and safe. I respect each client’s home and keep everything tidy while they’re away. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are safe and well cared for. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and owners feel comfortable.
About: I grew up with animals in my house including a dog, cat, frogs, lizards as I am a biologists daughter who taught me my love for animals. I love spending time with animals and taking care of them I work 8-5 Monday - Thursday and 8-12 on Friday but am available before and after work and on the weekends. I can check on the animals multiple times a day! I am cognizant that all animals have different personalities / needs. My cat has boundaries that I have gotten to know, and I will make sure to do that with any animals I take care of. I keep a routine with my pets so I would be glad to implement and keep yours going
“Alyssa was great with our two Aussies while we were on vacation. She was very communicative throughout the stay and made sure they got all the attention they wanted/needed. Would definitely recommend and will be rebooking with her again!”


About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved animals! I've been a pet and house sitter for friends and family for over a decade, and I'll show the same care for your pet and space that you do! I work evenings so I would have availability in the morning and early afternoon. I would also be available for pet care full time on the weekends. I will always make sure your pet gets the full attention and care they deserve! Your home will be left just as clean as I found it, and I will treat it with respect.

Hadley was awesome! My dog is 11 years old and has severe separation anxiety, so I worry that she'll be a handful while I'm gone. Hadley not only took care of her but also enriched her by taking her out to socialize with other dogs! My apartment was in pristine shape when I got home and my doggo was happy as could be, I can't thank Hadley enough for the wonderful job she did!

Kaitlyn was an incredible sitter. My dog got injured a day before a left and I was a bit concerned with the amount of medication that he needed last minute, but Kaitlyn did such an incredible job and by the time I was back, my dog was much better. I recommend her 100%

He did a wonderful job with our crazy houseful of cats. He asked lots of great questions during the home visit before our booking and I knew he was going to be very thorough- and he was! He spent tons of time with our pets which is what they need the most. Successfully administered meds to two cats, which is not an easy feat! Will definitely rebook.

Crystal was absolutely fabulous; she went above and beyond to provide phenomenal care for our Golden. Crystal is conscientious, thorough, and very competent. She doted on Dawson throughout the days she stayed in our home, sent constant updates and photos and kept our very energetic pup entertained. Crystal was a very courteous house guest as well. I highly recommend Crystal .
Jody was phenomenal during her stay with Bella. Her communication was fantastic, and she was so sweet with Bella. Just before our trip, Bella had to start a bunch of medicines, and Jody handled the last-minute, complicated medicine and feeding schedule amazingly. Cannot recommend Jody enough!

Sara is amazing!! We were blown away by how involved & thorough she was while watching our dog. She sent great updates, got our dog out of the house and having fun (even a trip to the park!) and, bonus, left the house better than she found it. We returned to a happy dog, who looked like she had a blast while we were gone! I would recommend Sara in a heartbeat!
