“Connor (CK) took great care of Roxy while we were out of town for 3 days. He took her on walks and to the dog park, and provided lots of attention. He followed our instructions and took good care of our home. He sent pics and a report each day. She was calm when we got back home — a sure sign that she was well cared for.”


“Ilana was great! She went above and beyond to make sure the dogs were taken care of, walked twice a day (early morning and later evenings due to the heat), and sent so many updates! We had her stay at our house while we were out of town and the house was tidy upon us coming home, with no issues. Ilana was very respectful and kind! Thank you!”


“Marcela was wonderful with our goldendoodle! She stayed with him for over a week while we were away, and we could tell he had a blast. She took him for many walks in the neighborhood and sent frequent picture and video updates. We will definitely be booking Marcela again!”


“This is my second time using Sydney for pet sitting. She puts so much car into watching the animals she’s charged with. She does a wonderful job with my anxious dog and very shy cats. I trust her to take good care of my home as well. Looking forward to continuing to use Sydney in the future!”



“We have booked Natalie multiple times now for house sitting our two fur babies! She’s always wonderful with them, texts updates, and leaves our house in great condition.”


“Brooke did an amazing job with our girl while we were out of town. So many wonderful updates and pictures let us know our pup was doing great. Brooke was great to work with!”


About: Because I’m in medical school I have a unique perspective on pet care in the sense that I am calm, thorough, and empathetic! I also have a dog of my own with medical needs so I am equipped to care for any pet. I’ve had large dogs, small, dogs, cats, and fish all my life and I would love to help care for your pets too:) I’m currently in medical school so my schedule varies during the weekdays (which I will frequently update) but I can come swing by to take on walks, check-ins, or house-sit. I have most weekends free as well. I am experienced in caring for food aggressive pets, dog-aggressive pets, as well as medically needy pets. I can take large dogs 100+ lbs on leashed walks as well as play in yards with them. I love animals and I know how to keep everyone safe and happy:)

“Maura was great- very communicative and sent lots of photos of my dog, Bentley which I appreciated it! I look forward to working with Maura more in the future!”


“Regan is great! She was super communicative and made sure all was well with our senior diabetic cat who needs shots twice a day and our hyper young cattle dog. Very grateful for her!”


“David was awesome! Very communicative and took awesome care of our big dog for a week. He left the house cleaner than it was when we left. We will definitely love to have him take care of our dog again. Peace of mind knowing your dog is well cared for on vacation is amazing!!”


About: I was born into a family with a dog and have had a dog in my life ever since! Now I have a 7 year old pittie mix who is my whole world. I trained her and continue to do so to help her acquire new skills or just for mental stimulation. While I was a late-in-life cat lover, I now have 2 cats of my own who i cant imagine life without. Over the years I’ve had many friends, family, and coworkers trust me with their fur babies whether it was for a single walk, a feeding and play time, or stay overs while they were gone. I even have experience administering medicine to special needs animals. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your needs. Usually I am free in the mornings and afternoons. Evenings are tougher for me, but we can make something work! I will always want to do a meet and greet before caring for your animal whether I’m providing a walk or a staying with your fur baby over night. I want to make sure I’m the best fit and that you feel comfortable with your pet in my hands. I will defer to you in terms of safety and care (beyond the basics) as you know your pet best. As I get to know your pet, I’ll understand their preferences and triggers which will allow me to provide them with the best care.

“Emmaline was truly a stellar dog sitter! She gave us such detailed reports on how our pup was doing throughout the week, provided ample photos or them hanging out and relaxing together, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to know their pup is well loved.”


“Gianna was a very reliable house sitter for our 2 dogs and 1 cat while we were out of town. My wife and I are very happy with her communication and how helpful she was taking care of the family. We definitely recommend Gianna!”


About: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. My love of animals is probably one of my most defining characteristics. I grew up taking care of my family’s dogs & cats, volunteered at a local shelter throughout high school & college, & I now have a dog & 2 cats of my own! I’m also a certified Physician Assistant, so giving medications or injections is no problem! I recently accepted a job where I am able to work partially from home, which allows my schedule to be very flexible in the early afternoon to evening. I’m also available varying weekends depending on my travel plans! I’m very thorough & detail-oriented. I know what it’s like to want your pet to be in the best hands, so that’s what I’m here to offer!
