“Ellen was absolutely amazing! Super flexible with some strange arrangements helping us look after our dog in a downtown hotel. Very kind and Poppy took to her immediately. Would highly highly recommend.”

“Christina took such wonderful care of our corgi Gus while we were away. She was so thoughtful and kind, provided updates daily. We trust her completely and recommend her highly! Thank you for loving Gus like your own!!”

“Samantha really put us at ease when we went away for the night. She communicated with us the entire time providing updates on our dogs and pictures. I will continue to book Samantha anytime we need someone to check on our babies!”

“Alexandra took such great care of my baby! She sent regular updates and photos and videos. My cat is shy, and she felt so safe with Alexandra that she really came out of her shell. I highly recommend her care for your pets! ❤️”

“Duncan was a professional and responsible caretaker. He went above and beyond our expectations when he took care of our 2 dogs Honey and Pickles for two weeks. Before even starting the job, he met us in a freezing blizzard for a simple meet + greet, which I think immediately showed his dedication to the job. He also cleaned up around our house when the dogs were making a mess, not something that we asked him to do — but rather something that he proactively did. One of our dogs, Honey, has anxiety. Duncan even stood overnight on New Years Eve just to help her stay calm during the fireworks, which I believe is something your average dog caretaker wouldn’t do! He was also very responsive with text and sent us updates every day. I felt much peace of mind because I knew Duncan was taking our two dogs on 2 walks every day, feeding them on time, and spending some time with them too. I would definitely recommend Duncan to a friend and would rebook him myself!”

“Stephanie was amazing with Birdie. She was incredibly responsive throughout the stay and easily took care of any difficulties that arose. We could tell that Birdie loved Stephanie by the end of the stay, which made us very happy. She was also very thoughtful and considerate staying in our apartment!”

“We are so lucky to have found Areana! She was excellent about communication with multiple check ins daily. We have a rambunctious menagerie of animals and she handled them like a pro. We are excited to work with her again!”

About: I have worked with all kinds of animals throughout my life, learning to train cats and dogs on my own. I’m also familiar with exotic pets such as pythons and bearded dragons. I can comfortably administer different kinds of medications to most animals, including oral liquids and pills, sub-Q and IM injections, and topicals. Currently I am available as a full-time pet sitter for house-stays and drop-ins. I often sit for multiple houses at once, doing house-stays for one client and drop-ins for 1-3 others depending on the services and times needed per client. When I meet an animal for the first time, my priority is gaining their trust. I spend time casually observing so I can take note of their personality and physical forms of communication, but I don’t get too close or move too quickly until I’ve given the animal a chance to take me in as well. Once trust is established, we can move on to wearing leashes and harness, medication routines, playing, etc.
“Booked Stefan last minute and has my fingers crossed behind my back, but no need! Proactively Stefan made the effort to travel to meet my dog prior to booking. He was communicative and kind, will re-book certainly.”


“Anna was amazing and so accommodating for a last minute stay with my pup! She was super communicative and sent plenty of updates. It was greatly appreciated as it was the first time leaving my pup for the night!”

“Leah did a great job watching Birdie and taking care of our house while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing everything was in good hands. We came home to a happy dog and a well-kept house, and we would absolutely recommend her to others.”

“Grace is awesome! Teddy was so well loved and taken care of. He is a golden doodle puppy in the teen stage and can be a lovable handful, but she handled him like a pro. We hope she is available the next time we go away for a few days!”
“We had a great experience with Quanece and Malik as our pet sitters. From the start, they were incredibly detailed and attentive - taking thorough notes during our initial meeting and asking all the right questions about our pets (who are both on medications!). What stood out most was their honesty and communication during the stay. They were upfront when our dog didnt have an appetite the first day or so while we were away, which we really appreciated knowing. Their flexibility, especially when we needed them to stay longer, made everything so much easier. We’ll definitely be using them again!”


“Carrie was an amazing sitter. Attentive, communicative, and punctual. She went above and beyond to make sure my Bonnie was cared for the way I would take care of her. I will be rebooking with her for sure!”

“Sabina did an amazing job sitting my cats over the holidays! i was in a last-minute bind and looking for overnight help for my two cats and she was kind enough to take the job and go above and beyond to care for my babies/send updates. it was so nice being able to have some peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. would highly recommend!”

“We really appreciated how conscientious Krista was with our chihuahua. From the meet n greet straight through the end, Krista was friendly, communicative, and attentive to our dog’s needs. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat 😊”

“Shakira was a kind and thoughtful sitter for my 4-year-old Pit Bull mix. She came the day prior to meet my dog, ask questions, and did everything as asked on the day-of. She also helped me out a lot as this was a last-minute request. All in all, Shakira is a great dog sitter and highly recommended!”

Taylor has sat for our pup many times but this was her first overnight stay and it went GREAT. She stayed with Mr. Scruff for four nights and we were so thankful to not have to worry about him at all while we were gone. We got plenty of updates, she followed all of our instructions (especially important with his separation anxiety and reactivity), and was also a great houseguest. Our buddy was belly up, playing, and eating while we were away, which means he felt safe and happy — all we can ask for!

Ava was an amazing house/dog sitter for the weekend! She took amazing care of Archie and Cora and was very communicative throughout the entire process. She checked in every morning and evening and sent pictures, and we felt like the two of them were in great hands! We would definitely book Ava's services again in the future!

Mounika was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our home with our 8-month-old puppy and provided thoughtful, regular updates throughout her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy can be quite a handful at times, but he absolutely adores her. She was patient, attentive, and clearly cared for him as if he were her own. On top of that, she helped us navigate an unexpected HVAC issue while we were gone and left our home spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would recommend her without hesitation. 100/10!

We had a wonderful experience with Layla! She took such great care of Ellie, sent lots of updates and photos, was quick to communicate, and even brought in packages that arrived while we were away. I was fully able to enjoy my time away knowing Ellie was in such good hands. She also helped with a last-minute walk request the week before our trip. She treated both our home and our pup with so much care and respect. She is reliable and trustworthy, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
