About: My current pup was an untrained adult dog when I first adopted her 12 years ago, and I trained her myself using positive reinforcement - she’s very calm and patient. I have trained several puppies and untrained adult dogs. I have experience with long-term senior care for my parents’ and my own dog. I have sat for and boarded special needs pets (dogs and cats). I provide a nurturing environment for pets and look after them like they are my own! I work from home and take care of my own dog. I have a flexible schedule and can be available on short notice. Can travel if need be. My dog is very laid-back, well-trained, and patient, and walk her 3-4 times a day. She has a nice space in the house with plenty of access to water and a very comfortable bed. She's been trained to avoid certain areas of the house so she doesn't get into any trouble, such as the kitchen and bathroom. I am very diligent about following any medical care instructions. I can walk dogs with varying exercise needs, and am physically strong enough to handle strong pups. And it goes without saying that I'm very responsive to phone calls, texts, and emails if any updates are desired.
“Jorge is just the best! A perfect Match for my 16 years old Lili! Jorge ‘a energy is great, he is smart and kind. He took very good care of my dog. I can only highly recommend his services.”
“It was the first time for my dog to be sitted with someone he didn”t know. That brought me anxiety but Brionna in the meet and greet gave me enough confidence to hire her. Although Pelusa played hard to get the first day, they bonded very well as days passed by. I will definitely trust Brionna again to sit for Pelusa.”
“Elizabeth was amazing with our dog Fez while we were gone for nine days. She also stayed at our house and housesat for us. Very communicative, tons of photos where we could tell Fez was having a lot of fun and we came back to a very clean home and a very happy doggo. Definitely will be using again.”

Narjes has been great with our pets over multiple bookings. She’s responsive, responsible, takes frequent cute pet pics, and managed well when our dog started vomiting during our absence. She was kind and caring, doing comprehensive cleanup and cooking him rice to settle his belly. The house is always left in good shape, too!
Rachel was attentive and made Maia feel loved during the week I was gone! I got lots of pictures and never was worried about her. I would definitely use Rachel again! I really appreciated that she was attentive to detail and definitely really loves cats. Thanks so much!! The apartment was clean and in perfect condition when I got home and Maia acted like I never left, so I know she was in good hands.
Rachel was an amazing cat and house sitter! She took initiative to come meet my shy kitties beforehand which I really appreciated. My scaredy cats warmed up to her and Rachel was great about sending me updates throughout the week. She also took incredible care of my home. I would highly recommend her and would definitely ask her to sit for us again!
This was my third time using Victoria as a dog sitter , and once again, she was amazing! I went on a 9-day vacation out of the country and completely trusted her to take care of my 12-year-old senior dog. She provided regular updates, sending pictures and texts that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was clearly well cared for and comfortable, which means everything to me. Victoria is reliable, communicative, and truly cares about the pets she looks after. Highly recommend!
I’ve booked Steven several times for dog walking, but this was the first overnight dog sitting booking we’ve done, and of course, he did not disappoint! He was just as professional, responsive, and thoughtful as always. He also made sure to leave the house super clean and even stripped the bed linens for me before he left. And most importantly, I came home to an happy, healthy pup per usual. Always a pleasure working with him!!

Although Pelusa played hard to get the first day, they bonded very well as days passed by. I will definitely trust Brionna again to sit for Pelusa.
Keslie was amazing! My little guy Gunner is a bit anxious when he goes outside and she did a great job with him. She kept me updated with pics and how he was doing during my trip which eased my nerves about leaving him. I’ll be using her again for future trips. She was very sweet with my little guy and I am very grateful she took such good care of him.
Maxwell stayed with my huge dog for a week and, as usual, was incredible, reliable, communicative about everything, quick to respond, flexible, understanding, and most importantly, so very wonderful to my dog :) She stayed through a storm and I was able to not worry at all about him. 10/10
