“Nishat agreed to a multi-day, multiple visits per day, booking with less than 2 weeks notice. She stopped by to meet them in advance of our trip and took her time to get to know each of them. She was very calm, gentle, and caring. Our dog and cats took to her right away. She did a great job caring for them while we were away, even diligently providing them medication that was prescribed *after* she had agreed to the booking. We are so pleased with Nishat and grateful to have found her!”


“Maricela is an excellent sitter. We had her come by for drop in visits during an week and a half long vacation. She was so good with my three girls. She kept me posted everyday of how my girls were doing, and sent tons of pictures. I will definitely have her care for my girls again.”

About: Animal lover with flexible schedule, calm and patient energy. I'm very active so available for long walks or runs! Always attentive to details and specifics for each pet in my care. I'm a full-time creative (painter and graphic designer), so I enjoy setting my own schedule and can easily accommodate to your pet's needs during various times of day. I can work remotely and this allows me to be available more often. I am comfortable learning each pet's needs in their home environments, and adjusting to what makes them feel most comfortable. Happy to come to you so that your pet can experience their typical daily routines.

About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was little. I can walk, bathe, feed, or just be there for your pet. I’m very good with dogs but also have experience with smaller pets as well. I currently do have a full time job but I’m super flexible outside that. I’m free pretty much every weekend and can easily help out during the evening as well I will remain vigilante in watching and caring for your pet and in following any rules or guidelines you provide. I’m always happy to show lots of love and affection too of course

“Anna was great! She took care of our dog and reported back very thoroughly. He was such a happy camper - highly recommend using Anna to care for your fur baby.”


“We will never leave our pets with anyone but Dani! You will know the first time you meet Dani and introduce her to your dogs and cats that she truly cares about your fur babies. She has a calm demeanor and is kind and sensitive. You will fall in love with her dog Xena who was so patient withe my fiesty 12 week old Lab puppy. We would leave 10 stars if we could, thank you Dani!”



About: Hi! I’m Katie — a designer at Bath Iron Works and proud new puppy mom to Moonie. I’ve always lived with cats and dogs since I was a kid! I’m looking to help fellow dog owners with walks, playtime, and care while giving my girl a chance to socialize. Your pup must be friendly with other dogs, and I work best with small to medium breeds. For overnights, keep in mind we have two cats in the house — they’re pros at keeping their distance, but your pup should be cat-tolerant. I love being outdoors and am eager to hit the fields, trails, and even a few mountains. If your dog would enjoy an afternoon adventure or a weekend overnight with plenty of love and activity, give me a holler! I work full time, so I’m available in the afternoons, evenings, and some weekends. I’m active with my own pup, so your dog can happily join us for walks, playtime, or adventures on the trails! In my home, pets are treated like family. I ensure they’re safe, supervised, and comfortable, with plenty of love, play, and outdoor time. I respect routines and follow all care instructions closely.

About: I’ve had dogs growing up from puppies to seniors. I walked and took care of neighbors dogs too! I love to spend time with dogs! I work 7:45-4:30 M,T,TH,F. I’m off on Wednesdays. I can check in on your pet before and after work! Wednesdays I can usually check in at anytime! I do have two friendly cats who stay inside. I will listen to the pet parents instructions and make sure your pet is cared for and safe.

“Isabelle took excellent care of our two Corgi boys while we were on an extended trip of 11 days. We were nervous about leaving them for such a long time, but from the first moments of our meet and great, it was clear that Isabelle was a perfect match for them. The boys connected with her immediately and it was obvious that she is experienced in both drop-in visits and extended care. She is a very thoughtful and capable sitter, who sends regular updates with adorable photos, and we really appreciated her timely replies to our texts. We never worried about our pups while they were in Isabelle's care and when we returned, our boys were relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Isabelle for both drop-in visits and long-term care, and we look forward to bringing her back to care for our boys sometime soon.”

About: My unique approach lies in understanding cats on an individual level from their quirky preferences to their distinct personalities.

“Highly recommend Kelsey! She was the kindest and most patient with Luna. She gave her lots of love and walks during her visits. I was able to enjoy time out of town knowing Luna was in caring hands.”


About: Taking care of my two rescue dogs is what I enjoy. One is now 10 years old, and the other 16 years old. I have taken care of many other families and friends pets as well. They have always been extremely pleased with care provided. I hope to one day open and operate my own non profit dog rescue. Schedule is wide open as I am in transition between careers!

Vanesa P.
“Vanesa is caring for my dog right now. My dog loves Vanesa. She’s a kind, caring human being. She’s very attentive to my dog Beauregard. She brushes him without being asked. She walks him more than I do. She feeds him religiously just as instructed. She is very trustworthy. I give her a key to my house when I’m away. She sleeps at my home when I am on vacation so Beau is not lonely. She has dog sat for me on dozens of occasions and there have been absolutely no mishaps. I give her the highest possible recommendation.”
