“Daylin did a wonderful job watching my dog, Leela, while I was away for 10 days. She went above and beyond, not only was she extremely communicative, sending me regular updates and adorable photos, but she also kept my apartment immaculately clean. She even gave Leela a bath, which she didn’t have to do, which was such a thoughtful touch. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Leela was in such loving and responsible hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future. Thank you, Daylin, for all your hard work!”
“When I say, Haylee is amazing. I truly mean it. She was so informative and considerate of letting me know what was going on while she was cat sitting. And I love that she sent me pictures during the stay. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“We hired Jo to overnight dog-sit for us for a week long trip. It is always nerve-racking to hire someone we don't know to stay at our home with our fur babies. She was amazing with Benny and Picasso and sent lots of pictures/communications and was always very responsive. She followed my mile long instructions and the boys were so chill when we got home. It's comforting to have someone that can look after our pets in the comfort of their home. We feel fortunate to have found Jo and have already booked her for our next trip. She left our place spotless and even watered the plants (which I totally forgot about). We are grateful for the wonderful care our pups received!”
“Indra took great care of our two dogs and our home. She sent us pictures regularly and it was evident she bonded with both our dogs and they felt comfortable and at ease with her. We appreciated that she took initiative to handle some light grooming when needed. Overall, she was very attuned to the each of the dogs, what they enjoyed and what they needed. Would highly recommend Indra.”

“Dawson did an amazing job of caring for Steel in my home. I will for sure use them again while out of town. Very happy to be able to leave him at home where he is comfortable and know he is well cared for.”
“Sid was an excellent dog/house sitter for our 15lbs pomchi while we were out of town for a week. He spent considered effort during the meet and greet to befriend our pup, and during the actual stay he was incredibly communicative which put our minds at ease. I recommend Flo and Sid to anyone looking for a dog sitter, and we hope to use them again in the future.”
“If I had to summarize Zakiya - PEACE OF MIND. She took care of our dog for 2 weeks in our home and we truly didn’t have to worry about our dog’s well being AT ALL. She’s an excellent communicator, attentive to details (left us a log of our dog’s business), caring and professional. We’d definitely use Zakiya’s services again.”
“Ruth has been an absolute all-star to our pups! She’s attentive and detailed to a point. She makes sure to understand everything in their routine so they won’t tell that there’s a difference in their day. Ruth is also sure to communicate with us in a timely manner whether it is for a request or while she is watching them. Overall, super sweet and will be our regular for our fur babies. She’s already watched them 3 times! 😁❤️”

“Allen did a fantastic job taking care of Toby and housesitting while we were traveling. He was so gentle and caring with our pup. He was a conscientious and thoughtful house-sitter too, making sure to leave everything clean and tidy at the end. Great communication. Highly recommend.”

I follow owners' instructions precisely, ensuring their pet’s safety and maintaining the home’s condition. I always keep the water bowl full, make sure potty breaks happen on time, and ensure meals, medication, or treats are given as scheduled.
“Sydney was absolutely incredible. She watched our dog, Cody, over Thanksgiving and we felt completely at ease with her staying in our home. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely knows what she’s doing with dogs. Her dog Riley stayed with Cody and the two of them became best friends—walking together, playing together, even napping side by side. Sydney handled their introduction perfectly and brought a doggie gate to make sure they were safely separated at first. Everything she did was thoughtful and professional. Cody is a German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix and Riley is a Golden Retriever, and they got along beautifully thanks to Sydney’s calm, experienced approach. We’re so grateful for her care and will 100% use her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend Sydney!”
About: I make sure every walk was filled with fun, fresh air, and lots of tail wags! Ensured dogs got the exercise and attention they needed while keeping them safe and happy. Send updates and cute pictures to owners to keep them connected. I’m more open during the week ( especially the mornings!) than the weekends. I have múltiple dogs on my own so I’m used to the routines. I maintain a structured feeding schedules, plenty of activity, and lots of mental stimulation through toys, enrichment games, and training. Keep a clean living space and monitor their behavior closely to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for every day.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I cared for my dog for 12 years, cooking his meals, giving medications, and supporting him through chemotherapy — helping him live longer and happier than expected. That taught me patience, compassion, and how to care for pets with special needs. I’m also a proud cat mom to three, and I look after a colony of seven strays I’ve helped get fixed, fed, and loved. Because of this, I understand that every pet has their own personality — from shy rescues to playful puppies to senior pets that need extra comfort. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a walk, or an overnight stay, I’ll make sure your fur baby feels safe, happy, and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I make time every morning and evening for animals. I’m flexible with scheduling and can adjust to meet each pet’s needs, whether that’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine consistent so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves care that’s tailored to their unique needs. With my own pets, I provide personalized meals, vitamins, and consistent routines — and I bring that same level of attention to every animal I look after. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their established routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, daily walks, or quiet cuddle time. My goal is to build trust by treating each pet like family and making sure they feel happy and secure in their environment.

Aileen is a phenomenal and trustworthy sitter. She house sat for us and took really good care of our high energy German shorthair pointer puppy and our other dog. She follows directions well and it’s clear she really cares for your pets. When we got back, the house was clean and she even washed the bedding. So happy to have had her as our sitter. We came back to chilled out pups and received pics while we were away. They had fun and enjoyed her a lot.
Tony was the absolute best! He was incredibly attentive and caring with my doggos—they loved him. He followed all of my instructions to a tee, kept me in the loop, and always responded quickly. I have an older, injured dog, and he did an amazing job caring for her. I really appreciated his clear communication and the photo updates. I would absolutely book with him again.
Iliana could not be more amazing. She took such wonderful care of our three pups while we were away. Right before her visit, one of our dogs was diagnosed with lymphoma. I was ready to cancel our trip, but Iliana assured me she had everything handled. Iliana took our dog to her vet visit, and stayed on top of all of our dogs’ medication schedules. Iliana made us feel so at ease. She could have not been a more wonderful house and pet sitter. We are so, so grateful to her!!!
Laura took such good care of my dog! When Laura left, my dog was whining and looking out the window for a while. She was very flexible, also feeding my hamster from time to time. If you're looking into boarding, Laura's dogs seem to be sweethearts and well-behaved, they were welcoming to my dog and got along very easily. Really appreciated all the cute photo & video updates too. Highly recommend!
Jasmin was FANTASTIC. She took such great care of our pup! I like receiving many updates, and she did just that - I got updates throughout the day, everyday. And our dog clearly loved her. She was great with his separation anxiety, and took wonderful care of the house. I highly recommend her - she's wonderful.
