“Hannah did such a great job! She send me updates and pictures and followed all my instructions! Best sitter I had so far! I will book her again. :)”

Yona K.

“Joree and my dog got along great. She stayed with him for the weekend while I took a last-minute trip. She sent plenty of photos and updates, and I came home to a clean house and relaxed dog. I would be happy to work with Joree again.”

KRISTINE E.

“Cody went above and beyond caring for my rabbit. She sent many pictures twice a day during the drop in visits and it helped me feel at ease while being away on a 10 day trip. I sent her long instructions and she followed them perfectly. There are not many sitters I have trusted with my pets, but she genuinely cares for animals and is 100% reliable, safe, and respectful.”

Margarida D.

“Danielle C was an outstanding pet and house sitter! I could not recommend her more. She communicated with me throughout her stay, sent amazing photos and clearly loved being with my dogs. I can’t wait to have her back :-)”

Liana D.

“Emily was absolutely amazing! She arrived on time, sent photos, asked questions when she noticed Charlee wasn't going potty as usual and communicated consistently and with details! Having just moved to the area, I was nervous with a new sitter, but after this first experience with Emily, I will definitely choose her as my first choice for furbaby care, and hope that she is available! Thank you, Emily!! :))”

Lisa S.

“Melissa did an amazing job watching my dog and cat, she sent me lots of pictures and they were all of my pets comfortable and at ease with her. I found my home in better shape than I left it and my animals were obviously loved and well cared for. Will absolutely hire her again!”

Rachael W.

“This was the first time leaving my pup alone, but Cheryl eased my mind every step of the way. Not only were my babies clearly well cared for, but she left our apartment in better shape than we’d left it. Highly recommended!! She definitely went above and beyond!!”

Liz D.

“Fantastic! Will be robooking again! Highly recommend! She took the best care of our old man!!!!”

About: Animals have been part of my life since before I can remember — one of my earliest memories is our Bernese Mountain Dog happily dragging me down the block. I've kept animals close ever since, so I've got real, hands-on experience with pets at every life stage, from housebreaking a new puppy to helping an arthritic senior get comfortable on the stairs. Friends have been handing me their dogs for years too — weekend trips, last-minute favors — so caring for someone else's pet like my own isn't new territory for me. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and however we're spending time together, my goal is the same: keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible. Animals feel safest when their world doesn't change while you're away — same walk times, same feeding schedule, same bedtime ritual — so I take the time to learn what "normal" looks like for yours specifically. These days I share my home with two rescue cats — Cucumber, an 8-lb grumpy old man who insists on being called "a good boy," and Daisy, his partner in running the household — and Jeffrey, a sweet Blue Heeler mix with plenty of opinions to bark about. Expect photo and video updates throughout our time together, plus extra playtime worked in whenever your pet's up for it. Every animal is different, and I take the time to read their cues and meet them where they're at. Some want a full-on wrestling match, others just want quiet company. There's no better feeling than when an animal decides you're good people. I work freelance, so my schedule stays pretty flexible — mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, whatever your pet needs. That flexibility means reliable, consistent care for daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight house sitting, whenever the timing works best for you. Most of my care happens in your home — dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting — so I start by learning your routines, entry points, and house rules. I stick to feeding and walk schedules exactly as given, double-check that doors and gates are secure every time I come and go, and stay alert for anything that could be a hazard.

“Ebony did such a great job with our dogs! She was super easy to communicate with, sent pictures of the pups multiple times a day, and followed all the instructions we left. Ebony also took great care of my less people friendly dog and ended up earning her trust by the end of her stay. We will definitely be booking Ebony again and we highly recommend that you book her as well!”

“Elise was an amazing sitter and house guest! She was communicative and made the first time having to leave my dog for the weekend stress free. My dog loved her.”

Caroline C.

“Ian did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my dog and cat. He sent pics and updates everyday! It really put my mind at ease to have updates like that. I will definitely be rebooking him again!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life and I used to foster dogs and cats with my family in NC. I’ve helped family friends and relatives with their pets for years l and I’ve been professionally dog walking on and off since I moved here 5 years ago. I do have a full time job that I work around, my shifts typically max out at 7 hours so I have plenty of time to provide the best pet care I can. I do have my own pet cat who is not the biggest fan of other animals so home boarding is not an option for me. However, I do feel very comfortable taking care of pets in their own homes. I’m able to provide great exercise and play time as well as administering any medications they may need and sticking to their normal feeding schedule.

“Cortney is great! She is considerate, timely, professional - and she clearly loves animals. She's cared for my pet as well as my brother's pets (who live a few blocks away). We all really like her!”

Alice F.

“We love Carly! She is a great communicator. Is extra attentive and loving with our pets. She sent sweet photos and messages while we were gone. She is responsible and thoughtful and our pets love her!”

Stanlyn B.

“Amara did an excellent job caring for my senior dog while I was out of town. She was able to give him his medication every day and keep him on his regular schedule. I cannot recommend her enough and will be booking with her for future pet sitting needs.”

About: I have volunteered for Zeus's Rescues walking dogs for three years. I previously owned two shetland sheepdogs for several years! There is nothing, absolutely nothing, in this world that is better than spoiling a dog or having extended playtime with a dog or pet. I am always reachable, overly communicative, and reliable in an emergency. My schedule is very open right now and I expect to be working only part time soon. I look forward to communicating with you and your pet about your schedule and your needs. I am offering dog walking, drop in visits for your pet, and house sitting at this time. I am comfortable with and proficient at: measuring and feeding the proper amount of food, making sure your pets are hydrated, administering the right amount of medication, playing with your pet, tiring out your pet, reducing your pet's stress, giving love and affection to your pet, taking care of your home while you're away, (I'm a homeowner myself,) and taking your pet to the vet in the event of an emergency.

About: Hi! When I’m not traveling for work, I work from home and love using my breaks to get outside and get my steps in — and I’d love to have a four-legged walking buddy join me! While I don’t have a dog of my own (just one sassy cat for now!), I’ve been around animals my entire life and regularly help care for friends’ and family members’ dogs. I’ve also house-sat and cared for dogs in their own homes while their owners are out of town, so I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I genuinely enjoy dog walking and love knowing I’m giving a dog the exercise, attention, and outdoor time they need. I’m comfortable with different personalities and temperaments and pay close attention to a dog’s body language and boundaries. I never force an interaction and know when to give a dog space, redirect their attention, or step in when needed. Because I work from home, I’m especially interested in daytime walks and drop-ins, as well as house sitting. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a potty break, meals, playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I’d love to help! My goal is to make your pet feel safe and cared for — and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in attentive, reliable hands. When I’m not traveling for work, I work from home and have a flexible daytime schedule. I love taking breaks throughout the day to get outside, so dog walks and drop-ins fit naturally into my routine. I’m also available for house sitting and can work remotely from your home when my schedule allows. My boyfriend, Christian, is also an animal lover and may be available to help, giving us added flexibility with walks, playtime, and keeping your pets company. I’ll treat your pets, home, and routine with the same care I’d want someone to give my own. I follow feeding schedules, walking instructions, medications, household rules, and any special requests closely. I pay attention to body language and boundaries and adjust my approach to each pet’s personality. For house sitting, I’ll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you always know how things are going. If Christian will be joining or helping with your pet’s care, I’ll always discuss that with you beforehand.

“I recently moved to the area with my senior dog and two cats and was in need of a sitter for a short trip. Caitlin had great reviews, and we spoke and met - she has a gentle, calming presence which I liked and sensed would benefit my pets in this new environment. I was right - based on her frequent communication and pictures they took to her right away! All this was great, but I was most impressed and grateful for her attentiveness and concern - the first day of my trip she contacted me regarding an unusual development with my dog - it turned out she had developed a hot spot! The early detection allowed for easy treatment (those things can get nasty quickly) which Caitlin was willing to undertake. I highly recommend Caitlin and will be using her in the future.”

“What amazed me about Ryan was how organized, knowledgeable and self-sufficient he was. He even took notes at the meet and greet! We quickly concluded that we and our pups were in very good hands!(”
