“Victoria was the best! She sent pictures daily and was extremely communicative. Our pets were well cared for! We will 100% be asking her to come back next time we are gone.”


“I have been out of town recently, and Kimberly has been my go-to Rover to watch my 15 year old Labrador Paws. Kimberly is very communicative and sends tons of pictures and updates. It warms my heart and puts me at ease when I need to be away from home.”


“Best dogsitter ever. Sam handled our frightened little reactive baby with excellent care! We've had a lot of Rovers, and I've never felt so at ease or so sure that our babies were being loved as I did with Sam. We came home to a clean home and two happy girls with wagging tails.”


“Great stay with Gus over a holiday week. Our dog is a rottie and Gus knew just how to manage her; she was cozying up to him in no time. She was well cared for, the house was super tidy and clean when we returned. Gus sent regular updates to let us know that all was well. We will definitely try and hire him again!”


“Ana is communicative, reliable and was committed to keeping me two young cats safe and happy. She provided tailored care and was patient and flexible with an issue with my house that took place while I was away. Collaborative and kind. Highly recommend.”


“We feel so lucky to have found Anny and her sister, Lucy! They're highly communicative, responsible, attentive, and so warm. We felt very at ease while we were away, and they took great care of our energetic dog and our home. We'll be rebooking them in the future!”


About: Animals are one of my life’s greatest loves (AKA special interest). At this point, I’m basically a level-capped pet sitter with critical hit affection and stat bonuses vs shyguys and grumps. I’ve maxed out my EXP through a lifetime of joyful, hands-on experience with cats, dogs, birds, and myriad other small animals. From shy senior cats to energetic pups, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique “character build” — whether they need a stealthy companion, a high-stamina walker, or a boss-level snuggler. I’m known for following instructions to the letter, sending regular photo updates, and treating pets and homes with deep respect. Safety, stability, affection, and fun are my top priorities. Whether you’re gone for a day or a week, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and understood. I work part-time from home (and for house sitting, can easily work from yours), so I have a flexible schedule to structure around your pets’ needs — walks, feedings, playtime, grooming, cuddling and companionship. At home, I maintain a clean, calm environment with scheduled meals, play, and grooming for my own two beloved cats. Routine and enrichment are key to keeping pets stress-free and happy. When caring for your pet — whether in your home or mine — I prioritize: • Following care routines as written • Respecting your home (clean, safe, secure) • Watching for any changes in behavior or needs • Keeping environments peaceful, safe, and low-stress I’m committed to giving you peace of mind and helping your pet feel like they’re on a staycation 🌞

“We came home to a tidy house and happy pets thanks to Cara. We appreciate her thoroughness and quick response whenever we had a question. Will definitely ask her back next time we go out of town.”



“Ashley was wonderful. She took great care of our Murphy, sent messages and pictures, and left great feedback. I would not hesitate to ask her to housesit again.”


“Isaiah did such a wonderful job watching my pups! I recently adopted my second pup (a husky mix!) and I was nervous to find someone who could manage him and keep him calm/comfortable while I was gone. Isaiah really impressed me during our meet and greet, I could tell right away he was very experienced with training. He really knew how to handle my pups on leash. During my trip, he sent me plenty of adorable photos and I felt very assured that my pups were happy and safe. He also worked with my dogs on elevator behavior, which is very much appreciated :) Lastly, Isaiah took great care of my apartment. It was SO nice to come home after a long day of travel to clean floors and linens. I'd happily hire him again!”


“Crystal is great! She sent lots of photos and videos of our dogs while we were out of town. It was amazing cuz of course we missed them so much! She spent lots of time at our place during the meet and greet to make sure the dogs felt safe and happy. She was so patient with our shy guy and sent photos of him snuggling up with her! He’s scared of everyone so it was really special to see that! She left the apartment spotless! She’s the best! Definitely recommend!!”


“Kimmy was wonderful! She stayed at our house while we were out of town - took great care of our dog, was very communicative, took her on long walks and shared photos and updates throughout the stay. We’d recommend Kimmy and hope to work with her again!”
