Anna was awesome! Very communicative and my dogs (and rabbit) loved having her stay with them. I was out of the country and she made sure I was updated the whole time. I felt very comfortable and relaxed :) we will definitely be booking with Anna again!

Samantha was so kind, gentle and caring with my Noelle, I could not have asked for a better “babysitter”! I am so grateful to have met her and look forward to working with her again!

About: Hi, I’m Alec. I provide dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting with a focus on reliability, communication, and genuine care. Certified in pet cpr, I take the time to understand your dog’s routine, needs, and personality so they feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I always offer a meet-and-greet so your dog can get to know me first. During visits, I keep everything consistent — walks, feeding, play, and any medication your pet needs. I also send clear updates with photos and videos so you stay informed and never feel stressed about how your pet is doing. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priority. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup. Being a travel agent gives me a flexible schedule, allowing me to care for pets throughout the day while working remotely from anywhere — home or on the go. I make sure my pets get plenty of love and attention every day. Between walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping them active, they’re always happy, healthy, and cared for.

About: I have grown up with and around dogs, big and small, my entire life. Cared for dogs from a puppy age all the way through the elder years. Know that all dogs have their own personalities and needs and am able to adjust accordingly. I believe in strong communication with the pet owners. They know their dogs the best and will be an extension of them when they are not around. I’m a boat captain and looking to spend time helping others and their dogs during the off season. I am free during the days and most evenings. Given enough notice I should be flexible enough to adjust to almost any schedule. Being a captain, I have to run a tight ship, be aware of my surroundings and monitor safety constantly. I approach pet care the same way. I care for my pets like they are a human, I treat them nice and with respect, after all pets have strong intuition for good people, and I strive to live up to their high expectations.

I am so lucky to have found Phaedra, I had so many reservations about hiring someone, mainly because I didn’t want a stranger in my home but she really went above and beyond in making sure this was a seamless process. From the beginning, with the meet and greet portion, it was very clear that Phaedra knew what she was doing when it came to dogs. She gave a lot of advice, was super patient and listened to whatever I would be expressing. During the time I was gone she kept in contact giving tons of updates to with photos and a video which was very comforting. I am very happy and grateful!!!

I recently had Siu-Lin stay at my place with my 16.5 year old Ronan yorkie who just had MAJOR lobectomy surgery . I was nervous leaving anyone with him since he is in healing mode. Overall, it was a positive experience and I'm glad I found her She was very caring and attentive with my dog, and I could tell he was comfortable and well looked after. She was understanding when I reached out , especially since it was our first time using her services. I would definitely be using her again in the future and I highly recommend!

Samantha was terrific! We are very fussy leaving our labrador, Paddington, with anyone. We met with her beforehand, and we instantly knew that everything would be fine. She is extremely reliable, kept in touch with us consistently, and we were very pleased with her stay. We would happily use her again.. We would recommend her to anybody!!

About: I make sure every pet I care for is healthy, safe, and happy! I have experience dog sitting, and I previously worked at a pet store that offered boarding, doggy daycare, and supplies only for dogs and cats. I’ve cared for all types of dogs and am comfortable following medication instructions when needed. I also have a dog and a cat of my own. My dog is my world and my best friend, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I promise to treat every furry friend as if they were my own and give them the best care possible! I’m available most weekday afternoons and usually have availability on weekends as well. I do have a weekend job, but it isn’t consistent, so my schedule is often open. If possible, I’d just appreciate being notified about bookings at least two weeks in advance. I’m always happy to spend my afternoons caring for furry friends and making sure they’re loved and well taken care of! I have experience dog sitting and caring for all kinds of pups, and I always follow each owner’s preferred routine. Every dog is different, some love backyard potty breaks, others need outdoor time without walks (especially the speedy runners!). I’m happy to accommodate each dog’s personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

About: I have taken care of dogs for 15 years. From puppies to seniors, Dachshunds to Pitties. I’ve owned my pit for 15 years and I adore him with my life. I have dog sat for a whole week even commuting to and from work to make sure their pup was safe and healthy. I have dealt with all the beautiful and not beautiful moments with my furry friends and I will always make sure to take care of them and make them feel at home with me. I am currently working full time at a doggy boarding facility and get my schedule a week in advance. I will make sure that the week ahead is confirmed for anyone who needs me. I make sure to continue the schedules my clients supply to me. I have a dog with a very specific diet, so I will be sure your dog gets all their meds and proper food so they stay in great health! I also am active so long walk and play time are no stranger to me! If your dog is more mellow I will match their energy and pace so they can feel comfortable and secure. I am Dog CPR certified and Dog behavior certified, so I am able to work around all personalities!

About: I’ve been caring for animals since birth. I own a dog and two cats and currently work as a dog walker for regular clients.

About: I genuinely love animals and have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a 4-year-old adopted cat and an 8-year-old dog, so I understand different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, administering routines, and providing lots of affection. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m flexible and reliable, and I make sure to plan my day around the pets’ needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m happy to provide consistent care during weekdays and weekends, and I always prioritize quality time and attention for every pet. I provide a calm, loving, and safe environment for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, routines, and any special needs. I’m very attentive to behavior, comfort, and safety at all times. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel secure, respected, and well cared for. Communication and trust with pet parents are very important to me.

Kat was amazing with my two big dogs. We have an Australian Shepherd and German Shepherd and can be a lot. Kat made this process so simple. She came for a meet and greet and my dogs (and kids) liked her right away. While we were away, Kat stayed with them in our home. We got a lot of updates and pictures. We came home to a clean house and very happy dogs. Now we can’t wait to go on vacation again, since we know we don’t have to worry about the doggies!

We left our 8 month old puppy for five days(4nights) with Jess. It was the first time we left her since we got her and Jess was a great fit for our family. She kept us updated, and made us feel so much calmer about leaving her. She even helped Maple keep up with her basic training skills. Will definitely be keeping her contact information for the future!
