“I'm so greatful that I found Autumn and will definitely try to book them in the future when I need to travel for work/need a cat sitter. They were quick to reply, super polite, friendly, and honestly just very personable. Offered to do a meet and greet, and even though it didn't work out due to my own timeline it was nice to know they cared to have an introduction and get to know everything. Asked if they had questions and even cleared the water fountains pump that got clogged while I was away! I should have written a shorter review but I just wanted to be sure to emphasize how great of a job they did and how much I appreciate their services. (They even saved a food delivery I forgot to cancel! So sweet!)”

“Lori was great! We were traveling during the Holidays and needed a last minute sitter and Lori very graciously obliged. She was timely and followed all of the care details perfectly. She even let us use one of her cat’s toys that she no longer needed, so sweet! Lori is great, highly recommend!”

“Emily is such an amazing pet sitter. I had not needed to use her services for several months so when I reached out to book, she took the initiative to ask if anything had changed since she last checked on my cat, which I really appreciated. She also always sends the cutest photos.”

“Tracy is so amazing with our dog Poppy! I feel like this must be what parents feel like when they found a great nanny. She brings enrichment activities, yummy treats, and comes up with awesome walks and hikes for our little pup. So happy we found her!”

“Lobster loves when Nassim walks him! He gets so excited to see her every time and she does such a great job with him. She’s kind and gentle and trustworthy. We are lucky to have found her!”

About: I grew up with cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, hamsters, mice, rats, and even a chinchilla in my household. When I started petsitting in 2015, I started with neighbors pets, including backyard chickens, cats, and dogs. I've since expanded to include birds, fish, you name it! I have experience and feel comfortable with sick, elderly, and differently-abled pets, administering subcutaneous and oral medications, and helping with accommodations and physical needs. I am currently finishing up my final semester of school (Bachelors in Liberal Studies) and have free time during the day, M-F, before I go to my evening classes. Walking dogs (or cats!) would not only help fill my time, but also help me stay on track for my daily steps. When my schedule allows, I love housesitting as I tend to only travel a few times a year. I have been housesitting/petsitting for many years for neighbors and friends, who have extended my offerings to their friends and families. I am fairly flexible, within reason, as my schedule allows me to be. I feel comfortable staying in homes and taking care of them along with the pets, and keeping a safe and clean space for us all.
About: I have two cats with very different personalities - one loves pets and one just loves company and that’s okay! I understand each pet has their on personality and I’d take the time to meet them and provide the individual care they need while you’re away. I work full time from home, which makes my days flexible and accessible for pet care! I can easily stop by in the mornings, midday, or evenings to keep your pet company or take them on a walk. I understand some pets are a little more shy than others. That’s why it’s important to approach each pet gently with love. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and gets the attention they need and deserve!
“Emily was great with my dog…tried to play with him, gave home treats, and made sure he didn’t have to go potty again before she left. He gets nervous around some new people, but he was very calm around Emily. Will definitely have her come back again!”

“We have booked Sarah and David 3 times now and they have taken such great care of our two dogs. They came to our house meet our dogs and get acquainted with us before we booked with them. We love the photo updates while we are away. Super responsive and friendly!”

“Cody was a terrific pet sitter — friendly, flexible, trustworthy. Good with animals, which I imagine is a must for this gig, but was nevertheless much appreciated.”


About: I am excellent with dogs, perceptive to their needs, very active when walking, and consistently great at training our furry friends. Have taken care of dogs (who are part of our family) for over 40 years, and know the ins- and outs-. I am also experienced in administering any medication, as my fur baby had leukemia for the last year of his life. Also, I have a knack for taking the cutest dog pics and will make sure to keep your mind at ease while I am watching over your fur baby. I work from home as a professor and live a very active lifestyle, including daily walks, weekly hikes, and bike rides, where my very active fur baby (may he rest in power) loved the activity and exploration. I am a huge fan of giving belly rubs to furry friends, as well as having company during my walks and hikes. Your dog will get filtered water, plenty of love and belly rubs, on leash walks & hikes, and on-time and appropriate meals. My home has plenty of comfy resting spots, and a fenced-off, front yard where your fur baby can bask in the sun, chase butterflies that visit my garden, enjoy a doggy treat on the deck, and take care of their business.
“Gisselle was everything I could hope for! Caring for my little cat and super communicative. She sent me lots of photos while I was away and reassured me everything was going great. It was my first time leaving my cat alone and it went so smooth, all thanks to Gisselle! Thank you so much!! 100% recommend.”

“This was our first experience with Rover and I could not be more pleased with how great Morgan was with Champ! She met him a few days before the scheduled drop-ins and he immediately started licking her and asking for pets before she even finished coming inside (Champ is normally super shy and barks a lot). Morgan was very communicative and sent several pictures and updates during each drop-in. I hate leaving Champ (I’ve only boarded him three times in his 8 years of life and am always paranoid if he’s not right by me lol) so I was nervous about how it would be for someone else to come into my house to watch him but it was the best decision. Champ hates fireworks so Morgan moved his bedding into the bathroom where he was hiding and she sat in there with him until he calmed down. If I boarded Champ he would’ve been in a kennel near a bunch of other dogs freaking out about the fireworks but Champ got to be in his own home where he feels safe. She went above and beyond any expectations I had. I laid out some pee pads and sure enough, Champ understandably had a couple of accidents because he wouldn’t go outside during the fireworks and Morgan cleaned up without any complaints. I would be thrilled to have Morgan take care of Champ again next time I go out of town!”

“First time booking Sam as a drop in before a long stay coming up. She did a great job! The dogs seemed to really feel comfortable with their walk, playtime and meals!”

About: I currently have a cat. I love her so much. She is my princess. I will spoil your cat! I will spoil your cat just like my own I’m currently working part time. So I have plenty of time to help out with your doggies or kitties. Can’t wait to watch your kitty. Depending on what service you would like I’m open to helping out as much as I can. Love animals. Can’t wait to help out. G
“Armando (Christian) took care of our cat for over a week and was incredible. He was super attentive to our cat’s needs and checked in everyday, providing timely updates and pictures of her on every visit. Christian also kindly watered our plants in the LA heat while we were away! I would rebook with Christian again and cannot recommend him enough. Thank you!”
About: I come from a dog-loving family on the East Coast that always had a furry companion to care for as I was growing up. I’ve cared for my own pets as well as pet-sit for neighbors and friends over the years (including cats and dogs, both overnight and drop-by). I'm a semi-recent college grad and current remote freelancer, so I am available most odd hours of the week with really flexible schedule to stay, drop-in, or walk your pet(s)!! My current housing unfortunately does not allow pets, but I am experienced in pet-sitting at a client’s home and can easily adapt to your home and pet’s needs.
