“Victoria was an excellent sitter! She did a great job taking care of our very energetic dog and was communicative throughout our trip. Would definitely recommend her!”

“Very good—communicative, patient, loving while apartment sitting for me. My two elderly dogs were happy and healthy when I got home from a weekend away. Would recommend to others.”
About: Most of my experience revolves around taking care of my own animals and taking care of them growing up. I have always enjoyed being around animals and making sure they are cared for. My partner is a vet tech in training and has shared a lot of her knowledge with me. I’m a currently working part-time so I am very flexible when it comes to what times you would prefer visits for your animals. I am fully available for overnight visits. My job does keep me till 10-11pm occasionally, but I open to do visits those nights as well. Caring for clients with animals that need a little extra attention and care is absolutely not a problem. One of my cats has to be on a very specific diet due to his medical issues and i’ve always worried about leaving them with a pet sitter. But i would be more than happy to listen and fulfill any extra steps that your animals need.
“Fantastic dog sitter. Amila stayed with our 1 year old Bernadoodle for 5 days and he was so comfortable with her. She took him on multiple walks a day and he loved it. She left our place immaculate. Would highly recommend!”
“Left our house in great shape and our dog, Fiona, was clearly well taken care of. They are communicative, friendly, and accommodating. We will definitely hire them again!”
“Charlii treated Wes and Margot to a wonderful week of walks and playtime when we were away. She provided lots of lovely updates and videos and gave such great care to our two pups 😍”
“Faith was wonderful. We received updates on our cat during her stay, and it was so amazing to be able to leave knowing he was in caring and capable hands.”
About: I have extensive experience handling rescue animals. I have worked closely with professional trainers with my own dog which has given me more knowledge to apply to pet sitting. Pets always feel safe with me because I keep calm. I work part time as a catering chef. I will be able to schedule my sitting/walking appointments when I am not working in the kitchen. This will allow me to do two things I really care about and enjoy. I have a cat and a dog at my home. When I am doing my sitting work, my wife will be able to take care of the pets at my home. I will care for other people's pets as if they were my own.
“From the beginning Irina conducted herself as a total professional and upon meeting it was clear she had a huge heart for taking care of our dogs. She exceeded our expectations and followed our instructions to a T. We asked for daily photos and not only did we get many but she also takes AMAZING photos. We will definitely ask to work with her again.”
“As always Zi was great! My home and cat were well taken care of and Zi communicates really well. My cat needs daily medication which Zi gave no problem! 10/10 recommend!”
“Qishu was a great, she clearly really loves dogs and cats and they love her. She was very reliable and easy to communicate with. She sent informative updates with pictures so we knew everything was ok. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’m a huge dog lover! I’ll treat your pup like my own with lots of love, playtime, and care. Walks, belly rubs, and fun guaranteed! I’m currently working part time. So I have lots of available time to help you with your pet. Most of the time I’m free :) I am always aware of what is happening next to me and I pay attention about the pet body language. So everyone is safe and sound.
“Flannery took amazing care of my dog and cat in my apartment. She is an excellent communicator and kept me up to date with lots of videos of my pets. My senior cat is deaf and requires medication and I was so happy knowing she was safe with Flannery. She managed my dog and cat’s tricky dynamic with each other so well. She also left my apartment so tidy which was nice to come home to.”
“Alix was an absolute pleasure to have watch my sweet little Lucifer dog! I'm almost afraid my dog might love her more than me 🥲Alix was very responsive and easy to work with, I can't wait to use her services again the next time I need a good soul to keep my animal company. Thanks again!”
“Sophie did a fantastic job sitting for our house, two dogs, 6 chickens and many plants! She's a great communicator and enthusiastic pet lover. She sent daily dog photos and kept the house so clean it was hard to tell anyone had been there. I will highly recommend her for house and pet sitting!”
“Kye was great! Went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable before leaving Romeo with an in-person pre-meeting. Not only was I updated throughout the trip with cute photos and videos, my home was cared for and left in the same manner it was in before my trip. Thanks for great communication and care for Romeo!”
