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!

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.

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!

About: I've always lived with and loved animals. I am a co-parent of two cats, have been a regular sitter for many friends' cats & dogs over the last 10 years, and have completed four pet sits this year through another app. I also have experience looking after chickens, ducks, pigs, hamsters, rats, rabbits, and fish! I take my commitments and responsibilities seriously, and I know how much trust is involved with relying on someone else to look after your home and beloved pets. Getting to connect with pets adds so much joy to my life, and I'm passionate about giving animals the care they deserve! I am very attentive & gentle with animals, and am happy to share photos and updates of your pets while they are in my care! I'm relatively new to this site, so my references are still coming in - happy to connect you directly with a reference, or do a phone call / video chat before arranging anything. Hello! I'm Kris, a 38-year-old fashion designer & caregiver. I’ve been a trusted pet sitter for many in my extended community over the years, having lived with and cared for many cats & dogs of all ages. I am available for overnights & drop-ins any day of the week. I take my commitments and responsibilities seriously, and I know how much trust is involved with relying on someone else to look after your home and beloved pets. I work for myself, so am able to spend lots of time keeping your pets company and taking play / walk breaks. I am very attentive & gentle with animals, and am happy to share photos and updates of your pets while they are in my care! I've worked as a house cleaner before as well, and you can expect me to keep your home tidy, scoop litter daily, and care for any house plants.

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!

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!

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.
