“Alexis was tremendous. He left thorough review cards, lots of pictures, and was very communicative throughout his drop-ins. He was very flexible through a home-alarm difficulty, was very sweet to our cats, and we cannot recommend him enough. Please consider utilizing Alexis for your home visits!”

“Asia is truly wonderful, she went above and beyond and my dog was very happy! she is very neat! she sent me photo updates and i was so relaxed knowing my puppy was in great hands, we are truly blessed to have encountered her on rover!”
“Joshuah took great care of our cat with digestive issues, and became fast friends with our kinda standoffish girl within a day. Great communication, lots of pictures, we felt super at ease knowing she was in caring hands. 10/10 would rebook.”

“Sierra was wonderful! Very dependable, trustworthy and great with our cats. She did all the extras while we were away and was flexible when our plans changed! Highly recommend!!”

“Ivan was great and flexible with our needs. We handed him the key last minute and he was very understanding about it. When we were away our pet camera got disconnected and Ivan helped us by reconnecting and even taping it up again so we could look at the cats through the cam.”

“Lisa was AMAZING!!! We were anxious to leave our needy cat for 2 weeks but Lisa went above and beyond in every way. She gave our cat the attention he demands, gave us daily pics/videos AND left our place even cleaner than when we left. Will be booking again!!”

About: I've had a cat named Sony I took sole responsibility for when I was in elementary. And just recently I've been watching my sister's dog. I'm a patient person and it's hard to get me frustrated. I'm currently a student without many responsibilities on the weekend, meaning your pet can count on my full attention. I'm available from 7am to 6pm for anything. First thing I do when I watch my sister's dog is make a list, what time to feed them, when to walk them, etc. Then I monitor the dog from a distance unless it's comfortable with me and step in if needed.
“Ned took amazing care of my little Corgi and was always proactive, on time, and communicative. Was such a joy to see the photos from their visits and how happy my pup was that Ned was there!”

“Marissa did a fantastic job with all of our animals. She was patient with our fussy ones that don’t always like to follow directions, spent time with all of our animals even if it meant crouching next to their hiding spots, and sent us great updates with photos. Even when we failed to warn her of a possible escape route for the cats, she quickly wrangled our escape artist and kept us updated. She was fantastic, and we’ll surely be using her services again.”


About: Coming from a professional animal family, I have been involved in various animal organizations and activities throughout my life. These include AKC, canine rescue, dog, cat and horse massage, dog training, puppy rearing, dog shows as a handler and helper, agility, obedience, pet sitting, dog walking, etc. I've always felt incredibly close to animals of all shapes, and sizes. I grew up with Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs, the occasional all-breed foster and house cats. In addition, I have been riding and helping care for horses for as long as I can remember and have experience with goats, cows, rabbits, chickens, etc. Over the years I have been hired to feed and care for just about every sort of animal commonly kept by people. I am very comfortable with daily visits as well as overnights. Additionally, I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes on leashes and love taking pets for walks. I'm currently a 34-year-old Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. I also have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (with a minor in Russian) as well as a Bachelor of Science in Development and Family Studies. I am currently working part-time from home with the ability to schedule based on the needs of the animal and would have plenty of time for quality care either in my own home or yours, whichever would suit your needs best. I am comfortable caring for your pet in whatever environment you would prefer, including leashing them in a public park space or exercising them in their home environment. I would be happy to discussed any preferred place of care.
“Sophia was wonderful! Stepped in last minute over the Christmas holiday and was great with communication and photos. Super loving towards Ella & Satchel. Followed our instructions perfectly. Would love to book her again.”

“Nathalie was a great sitter for my 3 cats! She was reliable, did exactly as asked, and had great communication. I will likely book her again in the future!”

“Sierra was such a wonderful caretaker for our pet bunny! She was super reliable and sent detailed updates with photos after each visit. Our bunny was shedding, so we asked Sierra at the last minute to add grooming and a daily tablet to her visits. She was really accommodating. After a 4 day trip, we came home to a really happy pet. We'll definitely try to book Sierra next time we're out of town. Thank you, Sierra!”

About: Currently studying veterinary science, so taking care of your animal is my profession! Working at an animal shelter part-time as an Animal Care Tech.

I made my schedule to have my afternoons and evenings free. 'I have a small mini poodle at home that loves to play. No strangers around your fur babies, currently living alone. I have a puppy-proof apartment set up for free roam and no easy access to anything harmful.

“Eileen is awesome! She took care of my cats for four months, and I plan to continue our weekly visits. She’s been reliable while I’m out of the US for surgery—she responds quickly and is so sweet with my kitties. My cats and I appreciate her so much. I’m even afraid they might start thinking she’s their mom!”

Marissa did a fantastic job with all of our animals. She was patient with our fussy ones that don’t always like to follow directions, spent time with all of our animals even if it meant crouching next to their hiding spots, and sent us great updates with photos. Even when we failed to warn her of a possible escape route for the cats, she quickly wrangled our escape artist and kept us updated. She was fantastic, and we’ll surely be using her services again.

Aidan took fantastic care of our dog! She can be difficult (resource guarding issues, high energy, requires medication daily), and Aidan met every challenge with skill. It was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter rather than boarding her, and Aidan made the whole process simple and reassuring. We came back to a happy, health, and well cared-for pup. They were flexible with our needs and did an outstanding job!

Marin is a caring, wonderful sitter. She looked in on my cat once a day, made sure of his food & water, kept his litter box clean, and took care to indulge him with brushing & hugs. Knowing him in such good hands eased my worries about leaving for a few days.
I would tell you to book Lisa but I low key wanna be sure she's available. My boy cat loves her! Went to her for snuggles & everything. The girl is really new to the house so isn't social with anyone yet... but she still ate & used her litter box so clearly wasn't stressed by my absence/ Lisa's presence. Truly I highly recommend! Great communication... great pics... awesome attention to detail... really goes above & beyond!

Ana always does a really great job caring for my dogs even when the weather is bad and their pee pads need to be changed. She gives daily updates and photos and they are super happy to see her. I came home and my apartment was clean and the dogs looked great. I would definitely recommend Ana
