“Such a great dog sitter! My dog is a senior dog with quite a few specific needs - meds, food, etc. Noah was so wonderful! He did everything I asked and more. I know my dog was in great hands and that he truly cared about her. Thank you for taking the stress out of leaving for the week.”
“Olivia is the absolute best! We were scrambling to find someone after our old dog sitter moved and she is always so patient with our big guy who can sometimes have stranger danger. I would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone that is needing some help with their pup!”

“Molly did a great job caring for our two cats! She sent us pictures and a message after every visit. She was very quick to respond to our messages and communicated very clearly. She even washed the cat's food dishes when she was all done! We will definitely contact her again in the future.”

“Teresa was attentive and communicative as our cat sitter. She kept up with the schedule despite blizzard conditions over the weekend. We came home to a happy cat.”

About: I am a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for large breeds, especially strong, energetic pups like German Shepherds, Huskies, and other working breeds. I’m comfortable and confident handling dogs who need a calm, steady leader — including those who may be reactive to other dogs, people, or environmental triggers. I also have experience caring for dogs with special medical needs. I have experience applying ointments, eye drops, and administering pills and liquid medicines. I understand that cats have unique personalities and routines, and I’m comfortable with everything from feeding schedules and litter box care to administering medications and giving space to shy or independent cats. I provide calm, attentive care and make sure every pet feels safe, respected, and comfortable in their own home while you’re away. I like to be transparent when I take care of other peoples fur babies and will often share updates via text with added videos and photos of the time I spend with your pet, as well as time stamped detail of feeding, playtime, and potty updates. Pet care is a planned and consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I organize my schedule to ensure I have dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, play, and companionship without feeling rushed. I build in flexibility to accommodate different pet needs, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends when needed. Because I plan my time carefully, I’m able to be reliable, punctual, and fully present for every pet in my care. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. In my client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and medications are handled exactly as instructed. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any behavioral or medical needs. For dogs, I focus on safe, structured walks, positive reinforcement, and calm handling. For cats, I provide attentive care while respecting their boundaries, keeping their environment clean, and offering affection at their comfort level. I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and leave detailed updates so pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Addison was absolutely amazing with Phoebe. She was very thorough in her daily updates and always provided lots of pictures. I have a more anxious cat around people and she was very good at respecting her boundaries and listening to her cues. I would definitely recommend Addison to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets while they are away :)”

“Christy took great care of my cat for a week while I was out of town. Highly recommend and would trust her with any of my animals. She kept his litter clean and gave him plenty of attention. Lots of updates and great communication. Thank you Christy!”

“Dawn was so wonderful caring for Penny for a second time. She was more than willing to be flexible to help with some additional medication and that made a world of difference in my peace of mind while I was away.”

“This was our first time using Rover and Krista exceeded all of our expectations with her care of our 2 cats. She followed all of our care instructions, gave frequent and thorough updates, and made us feel confident that our cats were safe. We would absolutely work with Krista again for future trips!”


“What a blessing to find Juli! She is so knowledgeable about dogs and has so much love for them. My Valentine has a special bond with her. I recommend her without any hesitation. Thanks Juli!”

“Briana has been amazing to my sweet Penelope! They had an instant connection, and Briana has given me peace of mind that P is taken care of during drop in services.”
“Sierra did a great job of showing up on time and caring for my kitty. I was really comfortable with her during our meet and greet, Peepers was too so I knew it would be a good fit. I will definitely look for Sierra’s availability next time I need to travel. Thanks!”

About: I’ve petsit for neighbors and family since I can remember and we always had pets at home. I have taken care of puppy litters, German shepherds and even birds! I am in between jobs currently so I have a flexible and open schedule to be available for your fur babies when you can’t be. It’s so fun getting to know different personalities of our pets. I’m very patient and even shy dogs warm up to me quickly. I love showing love with cuddles and taking dogs on adventures.
“Jessica has been so great with Phil! He needs to stretch his legs during our longer work days and Jess has been wonderful! She has given us the peace of mind as we transition to working out of the home full time!”

“Seeley was INCREDIBLE! She was also so detailed and really took time to ensure I felt comfortable away for three weeks. She was on time, honest, and did great updates. Would love to have her as a regular! book her now, you wont regret it!”
About: With 8 years of experience living with cats, dogs, and lizards, I’ve become a trusted caregiver who walks and feeds dogs when family is away. As a full-time teacher, I have plenty of flexible availability in the afternoons and on weekends perfect for giving your beloved pets the attention they deserve! When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment where every pet feels welcome and relaxed. I provide plenty of playtime, regular walks, and follow each pet’s unique feeding and care routines. I make sure they have cozy spots to rest, fresh water at all times, and lots of love and attention throughout their stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their usual routines to help them feel at ease in their familiar surroundings. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering any necessary medications, and keeping their living spaces clean. I also send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family—ensuring they receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve.

Bri is a genuine animal lover and brought such care while looking after our cats for us while we were away. She was detailed, kind, and flexible. We love our cats so much and we loved that we got to share their goofy and playfulness with her and felt like she genuinely cared for them and enjoyed her time with them. If you are looking for someone to care for your pet, Bri is the perfect choice! We hope to ask for her help again in the future!

Scott did a wonderful job checking in on my cat while I was out of town. Their communication was great and I appreciated the updates after each visit. My cat can be feisty when people who are not me enter our home, but Scott just went with it and I feel handled it great. I would definitely recommend and book with Scott again!

Julianne is a true angel! We are so grateful for her sweet care of our dog and our cats! She genuinely loves animals and they are very comfortable with her. Even our shy cat who never comes out for anyone, played with her and felt comfortable. She sends us updates with pictures and reassurance that all is well. We are confident knowing that our pets are safe and happy!😊🥰🦮🐈⬛🐈⬛

I feel lucky to have found someone just blocks away to watch my two cats. I am new to the city and do not know my neighbors yet. Eleanor was easy to communicate with, came over ahead of time to meet the cats, and kept things under control in a heat wave. It was a huge peace of mind to know my pets were cared for while I was gone.

Trinity was a caring & attentive pet sitter to my two cute but somewhat high maintenance kitties. I especially appreciated her frequent communication & attention to all the pet care details as well as the various rules/ & regulations in my apt. building. I am definitely hiring her again for pet care & recommend that you do too!!
