“Elise was helpful in booking additional hours at the last minute and she clearly connected with our dog during our short stay. She was responsible around the details of his care and I hope she can help us again soon!”


“Andriana is amazing. My puppy LOVES her, he wags his tail so much as soon as she shows up. She plays with him the entire time, is so available, and communicates before, during, and after the check in. I recommend her so much.”


“Excellent sitter, clearly cared for the boys beyond the requirements. He got an inconsistent eater to eat, cleaned up after one that micturated on a rug, and even played music for them. The one that's generally friendly loved him, and the one that's generally unfriendly tolerated him right off the bat which is impressive.”


About: I've taken care of dogs for 35+ years. My dogs have lived to 16-17 years, so I am familiar with pill schedules and tailored meal plans. I moved for work and secured dog-friendly housing (we're a package deal). Currently, we go on daily walks and outdoor adventures. I have safe spaces so the dog can "take a break", but snuggles are always available. My daily routine ensures your dog will go for a walk every day. Your dog's walks will include time to sniff and explore. I will respect your dog's wish/desire to be pet and cuddled. For example, my dog's morning routine includes nose to tail body rubs and a kiss on top of the head. However, that's the end of "snuggling, petting, cuddling" for the day. :-D I have a fenced yard for my dog that he has access to when needs it. He has his crate that he uses for naps or just to hang out in a comfy spot.

“Elissa was a fantastic sitter to our two labrador retrievers. She took them on walks twice a day, along with feeding them, and cleaning up after them. The daily updates were super helpful too! I would recommend her to dog sit and most definitely will be using her again. Thank you!”


“Angie was awesome! She was quick to respond and a great communicator. She also saved us from having to cancel our weekend plans. We will definitely be returning to her in the future!”


“Consistent and excellent care from Maya!! She is very reliable and we have valued having her as a trusted walker and companion for our puppy.”


About: I love dogs and with years of experience as a dog parent to my own two furry friends, I've honed my skills in caring for dogs of all ages and breeds. I'm a patient and gentle soul, especially with our senior friends who need a little extra TLC. You can count on me to provide reliable and trustworthy dog walking services, tailored to your pup's unique needs. I also offer assistance with leash training to help your dog become a well-behaved walking buddy. Let's take a stroll and make some unforgettable memories together! Dogs daily routine will be 7am wake up and walk, 8am breakfast and relax, 1pm potty break and treat toys, 6pm dinner and walk, 10pm bedtime. Dogs will receive all the care they need. I can accommodate special needs for extra special dogs. On request, I could work on leash training.

“Jasmine is took great care of our dog. We are very happy with her!”


About: Watched both large and small dogs for extended periods of time. My biggest challenge to date - two husky/malamute mixes both 85lbs chasing a squirrel! I am mostly available on weekends but also after work during the week! I’m a night owl so late nights aren’t an issue for me. Super flexible to meet any requests to ensure both you and your fur babies are comfortable! Always willing to send photos your way as I’m sure you’ll miss them while gone!

“Kimberly is Emmy's favorite! She is super responsible and communicative, goes above and beyond, treats my home as her own, and sends me adorable pictures of Emmy. I've even known her to give Emmy gifts (with my permission, of course)!! I couldn't be happier!”


“We love Robyn! Were were gone for a week and Robyn was on top of it all! Excellent communication and follow up. Even our shy kitties came out from hiding to say hello. I can't recommend her highly enough. We will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Melissa was great. Helped out on short notice after another Catsitter backed out the day before my trip. Very friendly and communicative.”



About: I have had dogs since I was 15y old, since then I understood that these loving creatures need our attention and care to be the best they can be and behave the way we need them to by providing guidance, boundaries and understanding. I am looking for a new career, that actually I could be passionate about, caring and training dogs have seem a dream for me and now even gets paid is a dream job. I don't own a house but there's a dog are in my complex, so boarding at home only for small dogs is possible, at client's home I keep the dog(s) entertained and exercise as needed, so they could be calm and the time away from dog parent(s) would seem short and free of anxiety, just like my dog at home.

“Courtney always does such a wonderful job when she walks and checks in our Fufu. I feel much more at ease knowing she will be coming by. I also love the pictures she sends of their time together so I can see him and know he's having fun.”



About: My passion for pets and commitment to their well-being, have helped me acquire invaluable experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies who can’t get enough playtime to seniors who prefer a cozy spot by the window, I tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs. I understand the importance of routine, which is why I prioritize punctual feeding and walking schedules. For many dogs, these moments are the highlights of their day, and I strive to make every experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Whether it’s hiking for the adventurous or gentle leash walks for those who like to take it easy, I’m dedicated to ensuring their happiness and comfort during their time apart from their owners. Additionally, I'm attentive to the emotional needs of pets who require extra affection and support. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment that helps ease their anxiety and keeps them engaged and content while their family is away. With my pet care experience, you can trust that your furry family members will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! My schedule allows me to be flexible enough to adapt to your pets schedule! Thursday nights are when I'm on a tighter schedule but I'm glad to talk this over! I make sure to make their time away from you as close to their daily routine as possible. I make sure to know their likes and dislike to make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. There are some dogs that do not feel good in loud and busy areas. So I make sure to go on walk them in quieter places. Also, if I am house sitting some prefer to co-sleep and I am comfortable doing so. Every pet care experience is catered to your and your pets liking :)

“Dog Sitter Review: Exceptional Care and Attention! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of using John for the second time, and once again, he exceeded all my expectations! This time, he took care of not just my resident dog but also my foster puppy, and I couldn't be more grateful for his dedication and compassion. It was clear that John has a genuine love for animals. He provided both dogs with plenty of attention, playtime, and care, ensuring they felt comfortable and happy during my absence. His ability to manage the needs of both my resident dog and a young, energetic puppy was impressive, and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. What truly stood out this time was the extra effort he put into making my home feel welcoming upon my return. Not only did he take great care of my dogs, but he also went above and beyond by cleaning my apartment and even disposing of my trash! It’s those little touches that show how much he cares about his clients and their homes. I cannot recommend John enough! His professionalism, attentiveness, and kindness make him an outstanding choice for pet care. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and ensure your home is well taken care of, look no further. I will definitely be using his services again in the future! Thank you,John, for all that you do!”


“Minghao and Yuchen have taken care of our cat before. This was a longer trip away and we fully trusted that everything would go smoothly, which it did. Thank you as always!”


About: Working from home full time. I grew up with small dogs and now a dog owner for a 3 years old Pomeraian. I love being around with dogs. I have experience taking care of pups of all ages. I work from home full time so I can surely give lots of attention and care for your babies. I'm looking forward to meeting your fur babies. I can accommodate specific potty or walk schedules your dog have. I just need you to tell me in advance. I can only accommodate small to mid-size dogs since I live in an apartment. We have large green lawns (perfect for potty breaks and walks) in our apartment complex.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes for over 5 years, including my own pup and those of friends and family. I’m a pre-med college student who’s super responsible, active, and attentive to pets’ routines and needs. Whether it’s playing fetch, going on long walks, or keeping shy dogs comfortable, I always try to meet each pet where they are. What sets me apart is my calm, patient energy and love for animals. I have experience with high-energy breeds, older dogs needing gentler care, and dogs with special diets. I’ll treat your pet like family—because I know how much they mean to you. As a college student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and can easily adapt to morning, midday, or evening visits. I make it a priority to stick to each pet’s routine, whether that’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or medication, and I always build my day around making sure they feel safe and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it my priority to maintain the pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, or any medications. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I also respect the client’s home by keeping things neat and being mindful of boundaries. Whether it’s a short visit or extended care, I treat each home and pet as if they were my own.

susan p.
“Susan is a responsible and loving dog owner. She always made sure vaccinations were up to date (that's how I learned about the mobile vet service!) to keep her pups health. Cody and Tucker had their daily walks and meals - they even dined "al fresco" on the patio. When my dog heard Susan's car, he would jump over and wait for her at her front door. She took my dog along for walks in the nearby forest/park. When I couldn't find Speckles, I'd walk over and pick him up from her house.”
