“Elise was helpful in booking additional hours at the last minute and she clearly connected with our dog during our short stay. She was responsible around the details of his care and I hope she can help us again soon!”
“Excellent sitter, clearly cared for the boys beyond the requirements. He got an inconsistent eater to eat, cleaned up after one that micturated on a rug, and even played music for them. The one that's generally friendly loved him, and the one that's generally unfriendly tolerated him right off the bat which is impressive.”
“Forrest and I are so happy to have had Trina drop in and spend time with him. She is a remarkable caregiver and her affection for dogs is undeniable. I did not have to worry about her professionalism (she kept to the scheduled appointment, showed up on time, did not leave the place in a mess, and appropriately engaged with my dog based on his interest and energy level). It’s hard to find someone who can connect with dogs as well as she does and we are excited to have her to sit for us again.”
About: People always say if they could come back as a dog, they’d want to be mine — because I treat my pups better than some people treat their own kids! I’ve raised an Eskimo Spitz and two Bichons, and we’ve traveled cross-country by plane and car together — mostly because I didn’t want to leave them with just any pet sitter. I get how tough it is to leave your dog with someone else. That’s why I don’t just cover the basics like food and walks — I make sure your pup gets all the love, attention, and care they’re used to. When I travel, I even fly my dogs to stay with family so I can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I want to be that same peace of mind for you — knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently not working - have flexible hours and would love to take walks for my own health - why not with a fur baby?? Whether I’m caring for your pet at my place or yours, I always make sure they’re safe and comfy. I keep everything secure — no sneaky escape routes or anything that could hurt them — and follow your instructions to a T, from feeding to meds to their favorite routines. I’m good at picking up on what your pet needs, whether they want to chill or play, so they always feel happy and relaxed. You can count on me to treat your fur baby like my own, with lots of love and care in a safe, cozy space.
“Guilherme did a great job with our dogs! He was timely and provided a lovely update about his visit. We’re very thankful he has been able to help when we need it!”
“Angie is great! Friendly, responsible, & communicative, she gave my cat the attention & care he needed & me the peace of mind I needed. 10/10 highly recommended & I will absolutely use her services again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for 35+ years. My dogs have lived to 16-17 years, so I am familiar with pill schedules and tailored meal plans. I moved for work and secured dog-friendly housing (we're a package deal). Currently, we go on daily walks and outdoor adventures. I have safe spaces so the dog can "take a break", but snuggles are always available. My daily routine ensures your dog will go for a walk every day. Your dog's walks will include time to sniff and explore. I will respect your dog's wish/desire to be pet and cuddled. For example, my dog's morning routine includes nose to tail body rubs and a kiss on top of the head. However, that's the end of "snuggling, petting, cuddling" for the day. :-D I have a fenced yard for my dog that he has access to when needs it. He has his crate that he uses for naps or just to hang out in a comfy spot.
“Minghao was absolutely wonderful with our cat Ichi! He sent fantastic update photos and videos while we were out of town, and even helped out when we needed additional last minute help. Would highly recommend and will absolutely use again!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my house since I was a baby! I enjoy connecting with animals and have dog sat for many friends and family members over the last 6 years. I’m currently working part time, so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your dog! I work from home, so I enjoy taking dogs on long walks to get some fresh air and exercise (for both of us). I will be very respectful of your home and make sure your dog is well attended to while you’re away. Please don’t hesitate to specify anything they might need to feel extra safe and cared for.
“Will was great looking after our cat when we were out of town. He was communicative and always sent photos. He did a video call a few days before and followed all our requests regarding letting out cat out in the morning and keeping him in at night. We will definitely hire him again!”
About: I love dogs and with years of experience as a dog parent to my own two furry friends, I've honed my skills in caring for dogs of all ages and breeds. I'm a patient and gentle soul, especially with our senior friends who need a little extra TLC. You can count on me to provide reliable and trustworthy dog walking services, tailored to your pup's unique needs. I also offer assistance with leash training to help your dog become a well-behaved walking buddy. Let's take a stroll and make some unforgettable memories together! Dogs daily routine will be 7am wake up and walk, 8am breakfast and relax, 1pm potty break and treat toys, 6pm dinner and walk, 10pm bedtime. Dogs will receive all the care they need. I can accommodate special needs for extra special dogs. On request, I could work on leash training.
“Kimberly is Emmy's favorite! She is super responsible and communicative, goes above and beyond, treats my home as her own, and sends me adorable pictures of Emmy. I've even known her to give Emmy gifts (with my permission, of course)!! I couldn't be happier!”
About: I started my own dog walking business as a 10 year old and haven't stopped since! I've worked with young, high-energy dogs who prefer runs with active playtime, high-anxiety dogs who have special walk protocols, as well as the chillest senior dogs who like to go at their own pace. I've also done short- and long-term in-home pet sitting for up to 10 days with both dogs and cats. I currently work full-time, but have very flexible hours! I can usually be available until 10 a.m. and after 3:30 p.m. on weekdays, and any time on weekends. I have some evening commitments, but they vary by day throughout the year. I can adapt to your pet's routines and preferences, and give them as much attention (or as much space) as they like! If you have any behavioral or training goals for your pets, I am also happy to maintain an environment/practice that will help them continue to learn!
About: Ive taken care of pets since a young age, I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, horses and fish. I have experience talking care of elderly and disabled pets as well as young/baby pets. I love animals and dogs and would love to take care of your pets! I am working part time often and am generally available to check in with pets throughout the day as well as overnights at your house! I frequently have animals at home so am unavailable to provide services at my home. At your homes I am clean, organized and sensitive to your pets needs.
“Hannah was absolutely wonderful! She took care of my two cats for a week and did an amazing job. She’s dependable, resourceful, and clearly loves animals. My cats, who usually hide from strangers, warmed up to her right away. She gave regular updates, and I could tell they were happy and well cared for the whole time. Hannah is reliable, caring, and goes above and beyond to make sure your pets are happy.”
“Thank you Keola for helping us with a last minute request to check on our cats on Christmas Eve! She is really easy to communicate with, quick and responsive, and helped with what we needed perfectly!”
“Ally took great care of our two cats. She's easy to communicate with and kept us updated the whole time. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

susan p.
“Susan is a responsible and loving dog owner. She always made sure vaccinations were up to date (that's how I learned about the mobile vet service!) to keep her pups health. Cody and Tucker had their daily walks and meals - they even dined "al fresco" on the patio. When my dog heard Susan's car, he would jump over and wait for her at her front door. She took my dog along for walks in the nearby forest/park. When I couldn't find Speckles, I'd walk over and pick him up from her house.”

Anitha T.
“Anitha’s a pet-care wizard! She was so responsive with all my questions. Also, my doggy thinks she’s the queen of treats. The other day we saw her on the way to the park and he tried to go with her! Loyalty to the treats I suppose. But yeah, you can rest easy if you decide to go with Anita.”
