“Madelyn took such good care of my kitty when I went away for a few days. She kept me in the loop and my cat seemed to love her. Shes trustworthy and gives plenty of attention and pets which I appreciated. Highly recommend you book with her.”

“Second time having Christine take care of my two cats. She always goes above and beyond to make me feel like they are in good hands. My cats also seem to like her a lot! Would definitely recommend having Christine take care of your animals!”

“Crystal is by far the best cat sitter in the world. She’s so reliable, easy to work with, and makes sure after each visit to update me with a full report and loads of pictures. She spends quality time with the cats during each visit and ensures they are well cared for. My cats adore her!”

“Yena was awesome! She took such good care of my cats while I was away; sent me updates, pics, made sure they were comfortable, and just overall went above and beyond. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. Made being away way less stressful. Would definitely ask her again!”

“Darya is the perfect rover! I recently used her for drop-in visits while I was away, she was punctual, made sure I was updated with pictures, and took wonderful care of my Luna. Would highly recommend to others and will be using her again for future services.”
“Nikita was on time (2X) every day, was very attentive to our “little old lady,” and kept us well-informed while we were away. She also took the initiative to work with our building security to remove an “overnight camper” from our patio while we were out of contact range. Thank you, Nikita!”

About: Hi, My name is Alex and I would love to be your dog sitter during the busy work week. I work from home and have 2 dachshunds. They are both friendly and would love to keep your dog company. Outside of my own dogs, I have dog sat for many friends (check out my photos!) Fell free to reach out if you have any questions. I work from home and will be available on the weekdays. Outside of meetings, I can take your dog out whenever you need from every 2 hours and up. Overall, my schedule is pretty flexible. My apartment is very dog friendly. We keep the apartment clean and anything dangerous off the floor. We have stairs and ramps for the couch and bed.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities, and I truly enjoy making sure each furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. I grew up with pets, including my sweet Chihuahua who I cared for all the way through his senior years when he became blind, and also had the sweetest French Mastiff girl who made me fall in love with big dogs too. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which is exactly why pet sitting means so much to me. It gives me the chance to be around amazing animals, I especially enjoy helping dogs feel calm and happy when they might be feeling lonely. I work part-time from my phone for a marketing company, so I’m usually free and flexible to care for your pets. Most of the time, I’m available the day of and happy to help whenever you need! I live in a pet-friendly apartment, my place is pretty spacious and open. Also, in my building we have a pets area where I can take dogs for walks and playtime.
“Anna is an awesome kitty cat sitter! She was available for me last minute and kept me up to date on all her visits with my kitty cat. I will definitely rebook with Anna on my next trip out of town!”


“Jarrod was great with my dog Brook!! She is normally very shy around new people but she liked him instantly! He also made sure to wait to feed her after the walking her”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life since I was five years old, and I’ve loved them for as long as I can remember. Although I don’t have any pets of my own right now, I truly enjoy giving my time, attention, and affection to other people’s dogs as if they were my own. I take pride in helping owners feel at ease while they’re away—keeping their pets happy, their routines consistent, and their homes just as they left them. I do work as a restaurant general manager full time but on my days off (which I’ve marked in my availability) I would love to fill my time taking care of your pet 😇 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel calm and cared for while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every home with the same respect and attention I would my own. You can always count on regular updates and peace of mind.
About: I was born into a family with rescues! Once I turned 10, I was gifted the responsibilities of feeding, bathing, and walking our own animals. Since then, I have been lucky enough to care for the furbabies of friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I am an active, working, and responsible young-adult who cherishes the relationships people build with their animals. I will love yours as if they are my own <3 I am a full-time college student currently working part-time in corporate. I am available in the mornings and early afternoons most week days. on the weekends and over school breaks, my schedule is completely open. No matter what, I’ll make every minute with your pets count! I help feed our animals in the mornings and walk them when I’m able to in the evenings. I also assist in taking them to their veterinary and grooming appointments.
About: If you’re looking for someone who loves taking care of animals, you’ve found your match! I love giving pets the love they give to humans back to them! Since I was 10 I loved caring for animals, playing with them, and attending to their needs. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way to elderly dogs. I also have taken care of younger cats all the way to elderly also. No matter the age or size of the animal, I’d love to help care from them when you’re away! I currently coach high school football in the afternoons and evenings on the weekdays, so I’m available in the mornings for weekdays and free on weekends usually after 1. Sunday I’m free all day. I enjoy coming to the families home so the pet feels more comfortable with the environment. I don’t mind staying the night or working longer hours also.
About: I’m a lifelong animal owner with experience caring for multiple kinds of pets! Throughout the years I have cared for small rodents, birds, dogs and cats. I currently work remotely full-time, so I have plenty of time to give your furry friend the attention they deserve! I’m available for boarding most weekdays, dog walking and home checks most weekdays and weekends. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with balcony access for fresh air and lots of room for your fur baby to roam! I am able to crate your pet if needed, and will do anything in my power to make your animal feel comfortable and safe.
“Excellent communication and very helpful in a last minute situation. She was extremely flexible with our schedule, very attentive with our pet and will definitely be booking her again for our future trips.”

“Absolutely fantastic! She was so kind and loving to my fur babies and kept me updated the whole time I was gone. Also felt so much safer booking with her knowing she has a vet care background/knowledge. Would definitely book again!!!”

About: As someone who has several furry family members, I understand how important it is to leave your pet in the care of someone you can trust. I love being able to fill that role as needed, whether it's while you're away at work or while you're away traveling. My pets love a predictable routine, so I recognize how important that can be for many pets. I find it really meaningful to help with maintaining your pets' routines as much as possible while you're away and unable to do so. I'm lucky enough to be completely remote with work and have a couple free hours throughout the day most days. I want to use those free hours in a productive/active way if possible, which is why I thought offering pet care might be a great way to make use of that time. I'll strive to do my best to meet your pets' feeding/play/walking needs whenever possible. I totally get the anxiety that can come with leaving your pets in the care of someone new. I also know it takes time to build trust and safety between pets and people that are new to them; I'll do my best to initially provide some extra time/availability to build this relationship with your pet/pets.
“I had Latisha come and watch my kitty while I was on a couple of vacations this summer and she was absolutely amazing! She responds quickly, is on time, thoughtful and genuinely loves what she does! I’ve never used this app before these trips and was kinda hesitant about someone visiting my shy fur baby who was rescued as a kitten. But after talking with Latisha, and having her watch Nugget I feel so grateful I found her. I will be using her all the time now :)”
