Thank you so much for caring for him while I was away - you were extremely professional and willing to go above and beyond, qualities that are hard to find these days.

I’m satisfied with her service and I would like to highly recommend her to anyone who are looking for a dog walker/drop-in visits and so on.”

About: I grew up with multiple dogs. My family has had 7 dogs since I was 13. I would walk and feed dogs afterschool as a job in middle school. I now have my own mini poodle, Teddy, that I love very much. I’ve always been great with animals and love to spend time with them. I’ll walk them around the block, for two miles, or just sit with them in the yard. I work freelance in television production. This sounds busy but actually leaves me with incredible amounts of free time between shoots. I have almost endless time when I am home. I am willing to do overnights but would prefer to just do walks and feedings. I will walk up to 2 dogs at a time. I’ll walk as far as they like to walk so just let me know your preferred walk distance.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our shy and anxious boy, Felix. Unfortunately, we had to skip the meet and greet, and due to this he was very nervous around her, but she was incredibly patient and understanding. Despite Felix’s initial growling and barking due to his discomfort, she took her time trying to soothe him and make him feel at ease. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay, which was very reassuring. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and patient sitter!”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats throughout all stages of their lives. I also used to foster animals in my free time. I work from home, so I can take breaks in and out during the day and squeeze in some time for the neighborhood pets here! I make sure their needs are met first, like bathroom walks and feeding time. Secondly I give them playtime and all the attention to tire them out.
About: I grew up with dogs and have always enjoyed being around animals! I enjoy their presence and their company and love to give them ample time and affection, including play time. I currently work most days from home so I have plenty of time to care for your pet and give he/she the attention and time they deserve. I have a cat who loves to play and get to know new animals. I also have ample toys and treats and plenty of space to keep your animal comfy :)
About: I have taken care of my own dog since I was 6 and have experience cat sitting for family friends. I have also been around a wide variety of pets- from a very talkative parrot to an energetic ferret! I genuinely love getting to know new animals and making sure that they feel completely relaxed and comfortable with me. My top priority is to keep your pet(s) happy and well-loved until you return. I recently graduated from Penn State and am currently working part-time as a Behavior Therapist for children with autism. After returning home from college, I said goodbye to my childhood dog of 16 years. It would mean so much to me to share the love I had for my own pup with your pet(s). Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or just relaxing company, I would love to make sure your pet(s) feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I live in an apartment building, which is where my dog grew up. He started out sleeping in a crate while he was being potty-trained. As he got older, he had to rely on me and my family to carry him up and down the stairs, push him in his stroller when he could no longer walk on his own, and help him take his medications. I understand that caring for animals with different qualities of life requires adjusting to their needs, and I plan to do just that for you and your pets.
About: I have taken care of all types of dogs. Old. Young. Small. Large. I give them the attention and love that they need and deserve. I love going on long walks so I am sure your dog will love that too! I had a boxer mix for almost 14 years but due to old age and sickness he passed away. I have a lot of loving to give to another dog! I work as a personal trainer at a couple of gyms that are close by so I usually make my own schedule. I am always local so I would be able to give your pet the time it needs. I give them their own comfortable area to be in and I am easily available to walk, play, feed and pamper your dog! I listen to specific instructions given.
“Angelica is amazing! She checked in on our fur child while we were away and always provided us with a thorough update and pictures. She’s super sweet with our doggie and is a great, prompt communicator. I would definitely recommend her.”

We are so grateful to Alyssa for taking care of our boy. Alyssa provided exceptional care, communicating with us as needed, sending daily pictures and detailed updates, and making sure our cat was happy and comfortable. She even went so far as to help our senior cat clean his mouth and eyes when he was having trouble. She was always on time for visits, providing a predictable routine that benefited both us and our cat, easing our anxiety. We can not recommend Alyssa enough.
I’ve booked Michelle in the past and she stays true and consistent with taking care of my fur babies. She is very thorough in the notes for re-cap. She took care of my new kitten and gave him great care and also took care of Echo and the needs were met for the kitties. Thank you again Michelle!
Lori has been amazing!! I took a cross country trip & left my 13 year old cat w/ Lori for about 13 days. She was able to administer meds to her, she knew how to use her Catmate500 automatic feeder. She also gave me updates every day. My Calico is very shy & a little quirky so she doesn’t always warm up to strangers, but Lori has been very patient & loving to her. She was even able to get her to play. I highly recommend considering Lori as a pet sitter. I will definitely be rebooking her in the future.
I’ve been booking Dane’s sister for a while now, and she has been very reliable and responsive . Communication is easy and she gives excellent updates. My cat Flurry is shy and it makes me happy that he s getting more comfortable with her. Hopefully he ll get as playful and cuddly with her that he is with me pretty soon. I appreciate that she tries to adapt her care with Flurry preferences and that I can rely on her every single week.
I had a great experience with Mayleth as our cat sitter! She took excellent care of both Moby and Zorka, making sure they were well-fed, comfortable, and happy while I was away. Her communication was clear and consistent—she sent me updates and photos that gave me real peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. I’d absolutely recommend Mayleth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive sitter. Thank you again!
Vanshika was awesome! I really appreciated how she sent "heading out" texts, and her visit reports were super detailed with tons of pictures. She even reported on his, uh, litter box visits, which was incredibly appreciated because of Sam's chronic GI issues. No such issues during this visit!! Sam was aloof but that didn't stop her from trying to interact with him each visit. I really, really recommend hiring Vanshika!
Mond is a fantastic pet sitter! He's been so responsive, highly reliable and took great care with all of my cat's needs, gave me updates, ensuring me that she was comfortable, happy and doing well. I am normally a worry-wort when I leave my cat at home, but this time I was so much more at ease and was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands. I highly recommend him :)
