“I just want to commend Savana for coming today to walk my puppies on February 6, 2025, even though there was ice and snow throughout the day. I assured Savana the night before not to worry about coming because of the bad weather but because of her care and professionalism, she made it to my home. I cannot say enough, how happy I am with having Savana As my Dog Walker. She is wonderful!!!!”
“Grayson was so helpful when my husband was away and I started a new job meaning I was gone for longer than usual! She helped take our dogs on a walk for about two months for five days a week. She treated my dogs well and communicated with me even when needs changed! She was great with the dogs and very trusting. If we need someone in the future, we will book her again as I knew I didn't have to worry about the pups!”
“Helaina was great! She responded quickly and helped accommodate me last minute. The dogs instantly loved her. Will definitely be using her again:)”
About: I have been pet-sitting for my neighbors, boss, and co-workers since 2010. While I occasionally board pets in my home, I usually provide pet/house-sitting in the customer's home. I walk/feed/brush dogs, administer oral medication if indicated, and spend time playing with them. I also take in mail, water plants, and take out trash/recycling. I am a newly retired teacher, so I am now available full time for all of your pet care needs any time 7 days a week. If I am providing care in my home, I can offer to take dogs for a walk in a nearby state park. I try to keep the pets' feeding and walking schedules consistent with that of the owners.
“Maria was great! Responsive and handled my pups with ease. She walked them for an hour, which is amazing because I just had spinal surgery and they have been so cooped up.”
“Very reliable and communicative. Follows all instructions. Very friendly great with our dog !”
“Meghan was great and very attentive to our dogs. She followed up with details after every walk and even brought some of our packages inside for us. Excited to book her again in the future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for well over 10 years. I myself have a 7 year old and 3 year old dogs, and a 18 month old cat and a 4 month old kitten. Since we’ve had each of our pets since infancy, I’m well versed in the adorable yet tricky stages of pet care like puppy &kitten-hood. I can also care well for senior dogs, just like we loved our 16 year old rescue til she crossed the rainbow bridge two years ago. I’ll be working full time later this summer, but I’m looking to fill my days with your pets until then! I’m unavailable most Sunday mornings, but may be able to make arrangements if necessary. I am happy to keep your dog on a leash, in a fenced in area, or in a crate for your peace of mind at your request. I absolutely love dogs, and would make a fantastic guardian for your older dog, young puppy, dog with separation anxiety, or your family pup that you just cant bring on vacation. I also adore cats. I know each one has such a special personality, and I’d be happy to snuggle & play with them on the couch or let them lounge and entertain themselves, watching from afar. I’ve experienced the anxiety of being away from them, so I’m glad to send you pictures or texts to help you feel comfortable while apart. I look forward to getting to know your pawfect family member!
“Kimberly did a great job caring for our dog while we were at work. It was our first time having someone come to the house and walk our dog. She made us feel very comfortable that our dog was going to be well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I'm Rai (he/him)! I am a proud cat dad to Luca -- he is my whole world. I will treat your pets like my own, send you picture updates, play with them, sing them little songs, and accommodate their needs! I'm the go-to pet sitter for my friends & family and would love to be your go-to person as well :) I'm currently working part-time and freelancing, so my schedule is flexible! I typically have a lot of availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays and in the evenings. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, medications, or playtime. I respect your home and your pet’s routines, including any rules about where they’re allowed to be. I’ve got experience with my own cat, Luca, who used to love jumping on tables—so I understand how to gently reinforce boundaries and make sure your pets are safe and comfortable while you're away.
“Allyson is great, she connected right away with Orion. He looks so happy every time she walks with him. I am very grateful for all you do, Allyson.”
About: I’ve been caring for both cats and dogs ever since I was 14 years old! I have a 17 year old pitbull, 3 cats, and a foster cat I care and love for at home!! I would love to spend time taking care of your pets!! I have flexible scheduling all year round!! Feel free to contact me about scheduling preferences and I'll do my best to find time for your pets! My home will not be available for pet sitting. However, I'd be happy to visit your home or preferred location to care and look after your pets.
“Mike has been great! Very responsive, helpful, and great with our dog! He’s been really reliable, especially with our ever changing schedule.”
About: I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania, with two chocolate labs, a dozen barn cats, and various other farm animals! I also ran a small pet-sitting business in my neighborhood when I was a young teen. I absolutely adore animals, and caring for them has been second nature to me since I was young. I have a wide range of experience from fiesty barn animals to cuddly couch potatoes. I typically work 3-4 days at the end of the week, which leaves Monday through Wednesday (Sometimes Thursday!) completely open. I’m available for pet sitting, walks, and drop ins. I can even accommodate walks and drop ins on the days I do work, depending on my schedule. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and keep routines as consistent as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or playtime. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure in their own space, so I always move slowly with shy animals and give lots of love to the social ones! If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a cozy, stress-free environment with plenty of attention, enrichment, and quiet spaces for rest. Cleanliness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet like part of the family, whether they’re here for a visit or I’m looking after them in their own home.
About: I spend a lot of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter! I have also had 2 German shepherds and 2 cats growing up. I currently work part time, and I don’t work every day. I can easily work around my work schedule to help out with your pups! I will care for your pet in your home. That would be the best for me and your pet! My home is not suitable for pets at the moment.
“As a first time mom I really needed help today and kristie was a blessing! She is a very nice person! Was very thorough with everything and helped me a lot! Came on time and was very professional Thanks so much. I will book again.”

About: I had an incredible opportunity to foster dogs and cats over a 4 year period and learned all animals need patience and kindness to be healthy! Some of those animals had disabilities and needed special care like medications or treatments as well. I currently work in office Tuesday - Thursday, 9:30 - 5:30. House sitting can be very flexible through out the week and on weekends as well. I currently have a pet free home, so your pet will be my only priority. I do not have a fenced in yard but we do live in a community that has sidewalks and plenty of grass for dog walking.

Rai D.
“My cat, Gigi, is my whole entire world. Best friend. I’m obsessed with her. The absolute love of my life. She is also 100% the spawn of satan. Child locks on all my cabinets. Knows how to unzip backpacks. Knocks over plants like someone’s paying her to do it. Screams and pounces when hungry. Once she ate a literal sponge. Tl;dr, my cat causes chaos wherever she goes, to the detriment of herself and others, and for this reason I am understandably nervous about leaving her with anyone, ever. But Raisa has watched her before (and is about to watch her again!) and everyone was not only alive, but happy at the end of it! I received plenty of kitty pictures throughout the week and came back to a house not on fire + a very cheerful Gigi, love-headbutting Raisa. If she can take care of my hellchild and leave all parties cheerful and unscathed, she’ll be a wonderful temporary pet parent to any fur-baby.”
