“Tommy was so responsive and gave such great updates while taking care of our sweet pup. He took wonderful care of her and went above and beyond to communicate and check on how she was handling spending such a long stretch alone.”


“Grace was wonderful! She walked the herd (2 dogs, one 145lbs, the other 94lbs) for 1 hr each day! My dogs are not easy to walk, but Grace was up for the challenge. She is punctual and kind. We will hire her again (if she is willing to come back ;) )”



“Again, reliable and comforting! Always takes the demeanor of the my boy, Max, into consideration. He can be a bit nervous at times and Jen is a PRO! Highly recommend!”


“Our Ollie absolutely loves Daniel! From the moment he walked in for the meet and greet they hit it off great! Daniel is very punctual, dependable and communicative. I absolutely trust him with my leash temperamental dog and looking forward to more lunch time adventures for them.”


“Iryna walked my two dogs for a week when I needed help in a pinch. My 10-year-old dog is very shy, and Iryna was patient with her and won her over—no small feat! She was also so kind to my new puppy, walking him and also playing with him in the house (it was very hot outside). Overall, Iryna went above and beyond for me and my dogs, and I appreciate her very much. Definitely recommend and will call her again!”


“I highly recommend Eva for their exceptional care of Django. Their genuine love for animals shines through, and Django always comes back happy. Grateful for their fantastic service!”


“Paola is OUTSTANDING! There are few I could trust with my special-needs dog, and Paola is at the top of the list. Perfect attitude and perfect service. Highly recommend!!!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was 3 years old and love taking care of animals. I’ve taken care of family friends’ pets when they’ve gone out of town when I was in high school and college as well. I’m a nurse and I’m looking to hang out with some pets on my off days! My schedule varies from week to week, so one time bookings or a flexible schedule would be best for me! I won’t be boarding other pets because I have two cats of my own, but I can follow schedules required for your pet in your home and ensure their best safety.

“Rebekah was amazing with my timid, anxious pup. She walked her and gave her cuddles. She communicated frequently and I felt so comfortable being gone, knowing my girl was taken care of.”


About: I stand out as a pet sitter due to my experience in organizing educational programs on animal welfare, which deepened my knowledge of pet care and responsible ownership. I’m skilled in understanding animal behavior, providing attentive and compassionate care, and creating engaging activities for pets. My ability to ensure both safety and comfort sets me apart, making me a reliable choice for pet-sitting. I can provide pet care at any time from 11 AM until evening or late at night. I’m also available for overnight care, allowing me to accommodate a variety of schedules and needs. My home is not available as a care space because I have two shy cats who thrive best in a quiet and familiar environment. However, I am fully equipped to care for pets in client's home. This allows pets to stay in their own comfortable and familiar surroundings, which helps reduce stress and ensures their well-being. I prioritize safety and trust by following the pet owner’s instructions closely and maintaining a clean, secure, and loving environment tailored to each pet's needs.

About: Growing up without pets, I always dreamed of having my own furry companion to take care of, never taking for granted any time I got to spend with my friends' family pets. When I entered college, I threw myself at every opportunity to watch my professors' dogs and cats, thankful that they trusted one of their students to take care of their beloved pet. Due to my flexible schedule as a student, I was available to be an attentive, caring pet sitter, quickly learning how to take care of dogs and cats of all sizes, needs, and personalities. After graduating from college in 2023, I knew I could not live much longer in a pet-free home. Despite my intense need to fill the pet-sized hole in my heart, I waited one year to save up enough money and to learn the fundamentals of caring for a pet - being a responsible pet owner was my number one priority. Finally, in June 2024 I became the owner of my beloved Sesame, a rambunctious, playful, sassy black cat who is the love of my life. While I cannot change the fact that I grew up without pets, this long period taught me never to take a pet's company for granted. I pour so much love, energy, and time into caring for my Sesame, and would be delighted to share this infinite pot of love with your pet. My job is fully remote, so it is incredibly easy for me to fit a furry companion (or several!) into my daily routine. This flexibility allows me to keep my availability wide open, so I am available whenever you are in need for a caring, compassionate, attentive pet sitter. Safety is at the forefront of my mind when I am pet sitting. Having a cat who will chew on any plastic or string he can get his hands on, I have learned the importance of keeping a clean home free of hazards to ensure your pet's safety. While dropping by or staying overnight to care for your pet, I am very attentive to your pet's behavior. Through observation, I quickly learn what kinds of attention your pet likes and aim to engage with him/her safely and regularly. With ample playtime, attention, and care, your pet will be in safe hands while you are away.

“Al was awesome with my small guy and went above and beyond. Ross ended up having tummy issues while I was away and was so well taken care of! Thank you!!”



“Robert walked my Greyhound several times a week for almost a year until her finals days. He took amazing care of her. It’s easy to see that he really cared for her. He was incredibly responsive and adaptable. Before Robert I was always stressed that my dog walker would cancel or decide they no longer wanted to walk my dog (both of which happened many times). Robert never once canceled. He was so great that even my neighbor told me he did a great job taking care of my dog!”


About: I have been the preferred pet care contact for friends, family, and neighbors for over 15 years, and I’m excited to extend my pet family! I love sitting with animals to understand their personalities so that I can give quality care on an individual basis. I have a seasonal job, which means that my off time can be spent giving exceptional care to your furry family. As a morning person, I’m excited to keep your pet on their routine. Safety is always my number one, for you, your pet, and me. Whether you have a couple bullet points to give me guidelines, or a full binder of info, be assured that I will do my best to follow it all! I’m very attuned to animal body language and understand that we’re all working together to make this a positive experience for your pet!

“She is a great caretaker. She is very friendly and experienced. She is pet friendly, demonstrated positive, caring attitude. She is excellent at handling my dog..”

Mia is an excellent dog walker! Not a lot of people have the strength and patience to walk both of my dogs simultaneously due to their size difference. Mia goes above and beyond when providing for anyone’s pet as if they’re her own - I can’t recommend her enough!
