“Emily came to our hotel to watch our pups while we spent a full day sightseeing. It was a load off our mind knowing they had company and were able to go for walk. She did a wonderful job and sent pictures throughout the day. I would highly recommend Emily!”


“Brooke did a wonderful job taking care of Beau. She sent frequent updates and photos so we knew that he was doing well. She was attentive to all of the instructions we left. We could tell Brooke did an amazing job watching Beau and that he was really happy! He was well taken care of, as was our house. We would absolutely recommend Brooke!”


“Kayla was fantastic for watching my 2 pups and kitties while away. She was super receptive to their little quirks (including walking them outside on leashes in the yard during the rain because they think they’re sugar and going to melt, and would not go out!). I would definitely recommend using Kayla and plan on booking her again when she is available.”


About: I have always had small dogs growing up and got my own dog 5 years ago. I have watched my neighbors and family members dogs and cats of all sizes. I care for these animals like I would want my dog to be cared for. I’m very compassionate and detail oriented. I will do whatever the owner instructs and provide updates with pictures. I have 2 part time jobs currently so I have random time gaps throughout the day to fill. I will be starting graduate school in September and will also still have some random time gaps throughout the day and I’m looking to fill them with some animal love. I pay close attention to details left by owners about their pets care plan. I treat every animal with love and compassion like they are my own pet. I care for pets like I with the same high standards I have for anyone who cares my own pet. I provide updates and pictures while I’m caring for pets so the owners know their animal is safe and in good hands.

About: I have several years of tending to dogs and cats, (as well as some birds) of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling potentially difficult dogs and cats, regardless of age and/or disabilities. I have also worked at Morris Animal Inn and currently work at a vet clinic while I prepare to go to vet school. I have a cat of my own, Forrest who I love very dearly. I can also administer medications orally, topically, and subcutaneously. I can monitor all bathroom trips for stool and urine output, give baths, clips nails, or clean out ears if needed. I also take the BEST pictures of pets and can give you updates whenever you’d like :) At the moment, I am currently working full time at a vet clinic, but most weekends I am off or get out early. Im currently available most Friday afternoons to Sundays nights as well as most Tuesdays. Im also flexible to work other days circumstantially. I have a formerly feral cat at home who is now an indoor-only cat that I adopted from my current job. I feed him twice daily as well as clean his litter box morning’s and evenings. He is up to date on all of his exams and shots, and is also on a hydrolyzed diet since he has some food allergies. Additionally I make sure to keep his nails short since he loves to make biscuits on my face :)

About: What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood. As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.

“Anya and El are so very kind and caring. They took excellent care of house sitting and caring for our puppy. They followed our directions and went beyond to enrich our puppy’s world, taking her to dog parks, on hikes, to Petco and lots of walks. They consulted and were generous with their time. They even bought treats and a recommended collar. We highly recommend them!”


“Louise is a fantastic pet sitter. She watched our 8-month-old puppy all day, closely following our instructions, keeping detailed notes (such as time of bathroom trips, walks, meals, and naps; how much our puppy ate, etc.), and regularly sending text and picture updates. Also, our puppy loves Louise!”


About: I have experience both cat sitting and dog sitting for owners who have been out of town for extended periods of time. I have also cared for my family dog and own personal cat! I am currently working full time, so I am available for morning and/or evening care, overnight stays as well as weekend care! I currently cannot offer care in my own home because of my own pet. I offer in-home stays and visits so your pet can be comfortable in their own environment! I am knowledgeable about animals and attentive to their needs. I have experience caring for animals with unique needs, such as my family dog, who has high anxiety that influences her behavior. I love to play with pets and will always make sure they receive adequate attention based on their needs.

About: Hi, I’m Brit—a lifelong animal lover with over 3 years of experience caring for dogs, especially small to medium breeds like cockapoos, cavapoos, and hound mixes. I truly believe every pup is unique, so I take the time to get to know their quirks, energy levels, and what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether your dog loves long walks or just wants some quiet cuddle time, I adjust to what they need. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I really enjoy building trust with both pets and their people. 🐾 Pet care is a dedicated part of my weekly routine. I build my schedule around my clients’ needs, ensuring I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits or walks as requested. Whether it’s a midday check-in or extended sitting, I plan ahead to give each pet my full attention and make sure their needs are met with consistency and care. I prioritize creating a calm, familiar environment for pets by maintaining their daily routines in their own home. I follow feeding schedules, walking routes, and any specific instructions to ensure consistency and comfort. I take extra care to understand each dog’s temperament, using a gentle and observant approach to keep them safe and happy. I always leave the home tidy and secure, and keep you updated with regular photos and notes so you feel at ease while you’re away.

“We had an excellent experience with Victoria as our dog sitter. She took great care of our dog, Bear, ensuring he was fed, walked, and happy during our time away. Victoria was professional, reliable, and communicated with us regularly, providing updates and photos of Bear. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We felt completely at ease knowing Bear was in such good hands. We highly recommend Victoria to anyone in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter.”


“Natalie dog sat and house sat for us for 10 days over the holiday and was absolutely amazing! She gave us updates on the dogs and sent pictures (which my kids loved), took them for daily walks and left our house in perfect condition. We have 2 big doodle mixes (60 pounds and 75 pounds). and they can be pretty needy at times. She did a great job and I would recommend her to anyone and definitely use her again.”


“Dani is wonderful! She watched our two dogs and our bird, in our home, while we were away for three nights. Both of our dogs are rescues and do much better staying in their own home. One of our dogs is very reactive and takes medication. Dani was so patient and kind and worked with us to help Cooper gain her trust. She communicated during our trip and sent us photos of our fur babies. She kept our house impeccable, as well! We will definitely be using Dani again in the near future. She is highly recommended to anyone looking for a compassionate, hardworking, knowledgeable dog sitter. Thank you Dani, for all you did to make us and our pets so comfortable!”


“Jen has such a positive attitude and took great care of our cats and dog. We received periodic updates and she made sure that Spruce took his meds (which he sometimes resists). Thank you!”

We’ve been close since college, and I’ve always admired how deeply he listens—not just to friends, but to everyone (and I know he’d do the same with any pet). He’s the kind of person who really shows up for people, communicates with honesty and warmth, and puts real care into everything he does—whether it’s leading community rides with his cycling club or going all in on his internship work.

Susanna W.
“Susanna is a wonderful individual who loves and cares for all pets that she encounters. Susanna was my previous roommate and together we adopted a 6 year-old cat together. Throughout our time living together with our cat, she was an amazing 'co-parent'. Susanna always made sure that our cat was fed, provided with water, had a clean litter box, and loved her. Susanna made sure to schedule vet appointments, attend appointments, and paid pet bills to ensure that our cat was cared for. Susanna also has a family dog of her own and she absolutely adores her. When living together, Susanna would make daily calls to her family and check in on her dog. Also, when her parents/family went away on vacation, Susanna would care for her dog during this time. She was a great caretaker and went above and beyond to make sure that her dog went on many walks, had lots of cuddles and love, and was well fed. I highly recommend Susanna as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She would be an incredible caretaker for any and every family and furry friend!!”

Sheree H.
“Sheree graciously offered to care for my beloved pet, recognizing the difficulties I had previously faced when leaving my furry friend in a dog hotel during my absence. Upon learning of my situation, she went the extra mile and selflessly volunteered to watch over my pet at no cost. I provided her with detailed instructions, particularly regarding the administration of medication and the use of medicated shampoo during bath time. Sheree's compassion shines through in her interactions with my dog - she is both nurturing and playful, resulting in my dog wagging her tail joyfully whenever she sees Sheree. Moreover, Sheree maintains open lines of communication, regularly calling me to provide updates on my dog's well-being.”

Anthony K.
“I highly recommend Anthony as a dog walker. He is responsible, gentle-natured, and follows instructions carefully. I’ve seen firsthand how well he cares for his own pets, and he’s been a trusted caregiver for my two senior dogs over the years — both of whom required special attention, medication, and specific feeding protocols. Knowing Anthony is with them has always given me peace of mind. He’s reliable, trustworthy, and an all-around great fit for anyone looking for quality pet care.”
