“Wiktoria was great. She stayed at my cottage with my big dog (~100 lbs) for a weekend. I received updates through the weekend and went above & beyond to ensure Monty had a good time. Came back to a happy dog and clean cottage.”

About: I have 15 years of experience as a dog owner, and 16 years of experience as a cat owner. I've frequently fed, checked on, and played with neighbors' pets while they're on vacation. I'm always careful to politely introduce myself to new animals, and I'm excellent at pulling around feather toys as well as playing tug and fetch. I believe in using exclusively positive reinforcement (force-free) methods when interacting with pets. I'm available for dog walks, check ins, potty breaks, in-home pet care, and short overnight stays. I'm happy to clear my schedule for specific requests as long as you notify me 2-3 days in advance. I'll follow your lead on pet care instructions (you know them better than I do, after all!) All walks will be on-leash unless you recommend an enclosed area (ex. if you ask me to take your pet to a fenced dog park). I love walking on Stacey Boulevard when the weather is nice, taking more energetic dogs over to Ravenswood for a hike, and (October to April, on the correct days) visiting nearby beaches!
“Carol was fantastic. She stayed in our house for 3 nights and gave us daily updates with videos, pictures, and audio messages. She did a great job taking care of the creatures (including a high energy 7 month old puppy) and leaving the house clean. We highly recommend her!”

“I am very pleased to recommend Lauren as a house pet sitter. She provided excellent daily communication and shared delightful pet updates with photos, which truly put my mind at ease. Lauren was respectful of our home and followed all the pet care instructions we provided. Her sweet demeanor made her a joy to work with, and it's clear that our pets were well cared for during her stay. I highly recommend her for your house pet sitting needs!”

“Ashleigh took excellent care of our dogs on short notice during Christmas. She was very communicative and made sure our dog got his medication every day. We highly recommend Ashleigh!”

About: I absolutely love dogs. I have cared for my own dog my whole life, and he is my world! I will care for yours the same way! I am a student and have plenty of time on weekends and between classes to care for and walk the pups! I love walks too! I will cater to whatever specific needs or requests you have. My schedule is very flexible as well so just let me know what you need and I can help you!
“Matthew is an excellent dog sitter. Taught our pup some new tricks. Loved the communication and photo/video updates throughout our trip. I trust Matthew with our puppy and would certainly book again in the future.”

“Henry was a perfect fit for my two little dogs and cat! He made sure to ask about any instructions, sent photographs to reassure they were being cared for, and managed to befriend two nervous pups quite quickly!!”

“We couldn’t say enough great things about Matt! He was beyond awesome. Not only did he take great care of our pups, communicate every step of the way but he also helped do some odds and ends around the house. We would highly recommend using Matt for your pup needs!”

About: I adore both cats and dogs and love opportunities to spend time with them. I have over ten + years of experience taking care of both. I also have experience taking care of pets in their senior years. I love the outdoors and I am very active, I want nothing more to enjoy the outdoors with a fur friend! I am available for house and pet sitting. I work in a restaurant a few nights a week, so I have all day until about 3pm for long walks and playing. I deeply care for animals well being, I do everything I can to make sure pets get enough attention, care and love while their owners are away. I have also been a caretaker for an estate for 12 years so I have a lot of valuable experience in basic home care and maintenance. I was also a farmer so I have your plants under control as well!
“Kara did a very nice job sitting for our two dogs at our house. Dogs were well taken care of, and the house was in perfect shape on our return. We will definitely use Kara again. Bob”

“Kerry was absolutely amazing with our pup and seems like just an awesome human all around. We came home after a long day out with young kids to a happy and well exercised pup and even a cleaned up kitchen!”

“Lila was wonderful with our newly adopted adult dog. We were nervous to leave Una alone for the first time since adopting her. On very short notice, Lila came over to meet Una and make sure she had all of the information needed to ensure a positive experience for her. She sent us photos and showed Una lots of affection so that when we returned, Una was relaxed and happy. Thank you, Lila! We very highly recommend your petsitting services!”

“We came back to a clean house and happy dogs, which is difficult because Coco is never happy with anyone. :) Coco must have had an especially good time, because she was in a very good mood. And my old lady, Maya, looked well cared for and clean, which is tough given her incontinence problems. The house looked well cared for as well. Meredith herself was extremely professional and responsive! I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Sarah did an excellent job taking care of my dog and cat over a two night trip. They were clearly well cared for and my dog was super happy with all the walks! I highly recommend Sarah. She is prompt, professional and very kind with my pets.”

“Sarah is an attentive and caring sitter. She treated my home as her own and was so careful with my senior citizen and my little troublemaker. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah again!”

About: 10 years of hands-on animal care experience I provide reliable compassionate care for dogs all breeds and sizes. Creating a loving environment while you’re away. I currently work driving a doggy daycare bus, which leaves me plenty of time in between to take care of any furry friends. I am available early morning, between the hours of 11 and 130 and then available for late afternoon after 3:30 for evening walks, feedings, etc.. I will come to your home and if you’re comfortable, I can spend the night. Making sure everybody gets fed. I have no problem with giving medication. I was a vet tech at one point so very adapt with all animals no matter what their situation is or their dietary restrictions. i’ll even water your plants if necessary.
“Terri took excellent care of our super senior Ezra. She provided detailed updates and photos, and kept Ezra's safety and comfort top of mind. She is an incredible caregiver.”

Carol was fantastic. She stayed in our house for 3 nights and gave us daily updates with videos, pictures, and audio messages. She did a great job taking care of the creatures (including a high energy 7 month old puppy) and leaving the house clean. We highly recommend her!

Sophie was so great taking care of our 4.5 month old puppy and our cat! She sent me tons of pictures and updated me along the way. She took poppy on long walks and to the beach to make sure she had plenty of exercise. She was very neat and left the house in great condition. We also booked Sophie last minute and she was able to come over and meet Wilksy and poppy before the wknd. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

Julianne took great care of our senior dog for three nights at her home. She easily managed his meds, gave him the good spot on the couch, and was accommodating with pick up and drop off times. We look forward to having her take care of him again sometime soon.
