“We couldn't be happier with the care Tori has provided for our dog, Toby. Tori is incredibly responsible and responsive, always keeping us updated and ensuring Toby’s needs are met with the utmost attention. She’s especially wonderful with high-energy dogs like Toby, understanding their quirks and giving them the exercise and attention they crave. Tori has taken care of Toby both for regular dog walks and during overnight stays, and she’s excelled in both. Her caring nature shines through in every interaction, and Toby absolutely adores her.

16. Vittoria R.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds over the years and had a lovable Rottie for four years! Living in a close-knit neighborhood, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for my neighbors—always happy to lend a hand (or a leash)! I’m currently working part-time and in school. my days end late on Monday-Wednesday so night walks would be perfect for me. Thursday-Sunday my afternoon and night are more open and i’d be able to do mornings on the weekends as well. Ensuring save, trusted pet care in my home & yours: I maintain secure, cozy clean spaces, consistent routines, respecting clients spaces while also having attentive, loving supervision to keep every pet happy and stress-free

18. Madison S.

“Madison has been great for my dog Archie! He loved her from the very start and was receptive to his goofiness! I am very happy with her help with my boy!!”


19. Jared S.

“Jared was an excellent dog sitter! He did two days in a row for me while I was at work, one hour each day. He took the initiative to come over earlier in the week, find out where my place was, meet my puppy, asked all the questions he needed too, wrote stuff down, and worked around his schedule. After each visit he took plenty of photos, wrote a big summary of everything that happened and they did. He was a great sitter and I will be using him again in the future. Very affordable and his availability is great! Highly recommend!”
