“Melissa was wonderful with our new tiny Maltese puppy Penny. She was loving and patient with Penny and we look forward to having her come stay with Penny again in our home.”

“Lisbeth was great with our furbabies! She took great care of our home & pets, and provided fabulous pictures while we were gone. She was very responsive to us, and also respectful in her updates, and not at all bothersome of our vacation. Our dog is high energy and pretty attached to us, and Lisbeth took excellent care of him, with lots of walks, fetch, attention and care, so he was happy while we were gone (& when we came back). We would ABSOLUTELY have Lisbeth stay again! Thank you Lisbeth - you’re a gem & rockstar!!”

“Katie was a fantastic house- and pet-sitter—reliable, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. We could tell our pets really liked her, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’d happily have her back and highly recommend her!”

“Victoria took wonderful care of our puppy for several hours and did an amazing job! She made sure our pup was well fed, played with her, and kept her happy the entire time. She was very organized, attentive, and followed all our instructions perfectly. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our puppy was in such good hands. Highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Jade was amazing! She house-sat and watched both my dog and cat for a few days. She did an excellent job and have numerous updates and photos! I felt very comfortable and my pets loved her and were often sleeping and cuddling with her. She was very attentive and communicative. Definitely will have her sit again!”

“They were great!! It was my first time using a sitter and I have an anxious dog that takes medication. They were so patient with him and updated us every step of the way! I feel so much more comfortable knowing I have people who can watch my boy when we are away 🤍”

“Elissa was so great when she house sat for us to watch our cat and dog. She sent plenty of updates and made sure she had all the information she needed, like double checking the feeding schedule and making sure there were no medications to administer. Will definitely see if she’s available the next time we need help with the pets!”

“We are very pleased with the exemplary care that Alexa provided to our dog Finnegan during a several day stay in our home. Finnegan warmed up to her within seconds of meeting her. She was proactive in communicating with us regularly, providing much-appreciated pictures. Alexa has been a caring, reliable, and responsible sitter whom we’d recommend to others and plan to call upon again!”

“I had a great experience with Salette! I was really anxious because one of my pups requires a lot of care and it’s also nerve wracking to have someone new house and pet sit. However from the moment we facetimed on the phone for our meet and greet I felt comfortable with her and my fears were put at ease. We also did a in person meet and greet and my pups adored her. For the 2 days I was away she sent pictures and followed all care instructions and when I came back all puppies were happy and well. One even velcroed herself to her which I was happy to see because she usually tends to have separation anxiety. She also took great care of my living space even though she didn’t have to - in fact, I came back to a cleaner house than the one I left. Overall, Salette is extremely trustworthy and I would definitely use her services in the future ☺️”

About: I have direct experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience. I'm comfortable with feeding routines and administering basic medications. I ensure each pet gets the exercise and care they're accustomed to. What sets me apart is my attention and love! I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away! I’m home from college until July 24th, and I have a flexible, open schedule that lets me prioritize pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I make sure pets receive consistent attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding, exercise, and any medications if needed. I’m very mindful of safety, keeping pets supervised, ensuring environments are secure, and avoiding anything that could put them at risk. I also treat your home with respect, cleaning up after myself and your pet, and leaving everything neat and tidy. I also keep communication open with updates and photos! My goal is to create a stress-free, loving environment where your pet feels at home.
“Ceecee was amazing! She was able to accommodate us extremely last minute to home sit our senior dog. She took great care of our dog and was able to keep up with all his medications. Our apartment was in phenomenal condition when we returned. We will not hesitate to book Ceecee again.”

About: If you give me the opportunity to care for your pet, you'll feel at ease knowing I'll take care of it as if it were my own. I'll give it all the love and attention it needs to make you feel happy. Right now I'd like to dedicate myself solely to animals and their care. I have every day of the week free to dedicate myself to them. For me, all animals deserve the same treatment and care. I always give them my best, no matter the occasion. I will always give you all my love, attention and you will never lack my care.
“Anna was absolutely amazing while caring for my cat.. she was very attentive and communicative, always sending updates and asking questions. Will for sure book her again🤍”

About: I started my experience dog walking 2 years ago for a professor’s friend in Winchester, Virginia. Twice a week, I would walk her hyper pups. She then recommended me to her father, whose dog I began walking twice a week as well. From there, my mini business boomed through word of mouth. I began dog sitting in people’s homes as well for multiple individuals for varying time spans. Most of the dogs I interacted with were seniors and required extensive care. However, all dogs owners loved and recommended me to others! I still walk the original dogs and add in others as my schedule allows with two other jobs. I am sad to leave my extensive clientele in Winchester, but I am moving back to New Jersey for graduate school and excited to meet new puppy friends!! For the summertime, I am incredibly flexible with nothing planned. I prefer weekly walks / drop ins, but also like sitting as well. In August, I start physical therapy school at Columbia University so my availability will decrease but I’d be willing to provide services on nights / weekends. During breaks, my availability will open up again! Whenever walking / sitting, I respect the owner’s rules, no matter what. I long to maintain utmost cleanliness and adherence to routine as physically possible. I am also very communicative and honest, building trust with my clients.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently have a senior small dog of my own, so I understand the patience and attention pets need at all life stages. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and helping them feel loved and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I recently graduated with my master’s degree and currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention and companionship for your pets. I work hard to provide your pets with comfort and safety. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m especially patient with shy or nervous pets and will always provide a calm, caring, and attentive environment.
“Shilletha did an amazing job watching all my pets and house. She sent plenty of updates with pictures and spent a lot of time taking care of my babies. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

“Jennifer house sit with our dog for several days and was great to work with. I would highly recommend. When we came home we can tell that our dog was well taken care of and happy. She also took care of the house very well- and went above and beyond for us. She kept us posted and gave us updates on how our dog was doing and what he was up to. Our dog also had a recent minor leg injury and Jennifer was extra careful with him and followed our instructions well.”

“Brianna is the best in the business by far, first off my pups loved her & she took extremely great care of my two huskies. Brianna is trust worthy & reliable. Brianna communicated everyday and sent pictures to keep in the loop. I was skeptical at first bringing a stranger in my home but Brianna changed that quickly for me. I would defend rebook Brianna.”
