“Though M&M obviously missed me she was well taken care of, her coat was bright and shiny and she was full of energy. I was amazed that Kaysie was able to snap some pictures of my usually very elusive cat. Thanks Kaysie.”
About: I've grown up around cats and have sat for multiple families. I love cats of all ages and look forward to getting to know each and every one. I enjoy plants as well and am happy to care for plants while you are away. I currently work full time during weekdays and would unavailable during typical business hours. I would happy to drop by and spend time with your pet first thing after I leave work and on weekends. I always meet you and your pet before committing to sitting for you to ensure we are a good match and your pet feels comfortable with me. I meet the pet where they are in the environment that is most comfortable for them. I ask questions in advance to ensure I am prepared to meet your pets needs while you are away.
“Best Rover ever! I get so nervous leaving my super needy and social cat—but Mackenzie gave her so much attention and love. Mackenzie communicated with me quickly and professionally and went above and beyond cleaning things she didn’t need to! Will be hiring again whenever I’m out of town!”
“David was great - so communicative and flexible! We added on an extra day at the last minute to beat the snowstorm, and he replied instantly about our request. He also sent photos and videos every single day! Highly recommend.”
About: I have volunteered in animal shelters and have experience caring for all kinds of doggies. From big fellas like Labradors, Australian Shepherds, and Huskies, to small puppies like Corgis, Yorkshire Terriers, and Scotties. I will ensure your dog and I have a great time together! Available most days in the afternoon and evening! Currently in Summer break :D Don't hesitate to contact me for more details! Happy to see your furry friend! Every pet has a different personality, and I will give time to know about your baby and make them feel comfortable. With respect and love, I ensure your pet will have a great time with me!
About: I have experience with all dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior, with experience giving daily medications in the form of pills, ointments/creams, and injections. I love hanging out with dogs and always follow feeding/walking schedules as requested. I am a PhD student so I work outside the house and won’t be home all day when house sitting but I have a flexible schedule and can sometimes work my schedule around to fit the care of dogs and cats etc with enough notice. I enjoy spending time with animals so I’m always willing to adjust my schedule. I have taken care of pets in their home for extended periods, most commonly over holidays. I’m always respectful of the home and animals, ensuring that I don’t overstep on their territory and I like to leave the home as clean as I found it.
“I booked Divya to check in on my cat daily for a week while I was on vacation. She was very dependable and really went the extra mile in making sure Kyle was happy and looked after. I'd absolutely work with her again!”
“Erin did a great job taking care of my kitty while we were on vacation! She did occasional drop in visits to play with Zelda, feed her, clean the litter box etc. for the two weeks we were gone. Everything was well taken care of, and Zelda is happy!”
“Alexsandra was super with our elder GSD and spunky Lab/Hound. She was careful to help guide our GSD down his access ramp to the back yard and help him back into the house. Even took time for a few minutes to play with the L/H. Very caring and professional.”
About: Hi! I’m a work-from-home dog lover with experience caring for senior pups and rescues. I lovingly cared for my senior dog through his golden years and recently adopted a sweet 1.5-year-old rescue from Kentucky. I understand the patience and attention dogs need to feel safe and loved—whether it is slow, sniffer walks or long jaunts to get out some energy! I currently work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for drop-ins or walks at almost any time, and am available before or after work on all days, including weekends. During drop-in visits, I treat your home with the same respect and care that I ask of our pet sitters. I’ll make sure your pup is happy, fed, and has fresh water, and I’ll clean up any messes or accidents. Whether it’s bringing in the mail, watering the plants, or giving your pet some extra playtime, I’m happy to help with the little things that give you peace of mind while you're away.
“Once again, Allison did a fabulous job with our older, rather neurotic dog! She is very easy to keep in touch with, and we felt super comfortable having her look after our pets.”
About: I have always had animals and pets around me and never hesitated to take care of others pets when needed. Grew up with three labradors, a cat, and a bird. I currently have my own cat with my partner! I am currently working full-time remote. I can be flexible on the location I work from depending on my meeting load on any given day. I can be more flexible after 5pm for other activities. Usually, my Sundays are busy with church and meal-prepping/running errands. I do not offer service in my home. However, I will treat your home with the most safety and respect to you and your pets environment as though it were my own.
About: I have been taking care of my own pups and fostering dogs and cats of all ages for rescues since 2008, and I’ve been a licensed vet tech since 2013. I do in-home sitting, drop-ins, and walks, and I am experienced at administering medications, including subcutaneous fluids. Senior dogs hold a very special place in my heart. I treat your babies like my own. 🥰 I’m available weekends and some holidays for overnight stays. Drop-in visits are available any time morning to evening. I can also fit some drop-ins around my work schedule. Contact me and we'll get something set up! I have been a licensed vet tech for 11 years, and have worked with pets of all sizes, ages, personalities, and needs. I use a calm, gentle approach to help pets feel at ease.
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs, medium sized to small sized. With at least two dogs in the house at a time, I learned very quickly on how to care for our furry friends - whether that’s walking them, feeding them, or playing with them, I was and still am very eager to do so. Since becoming an adult, I have had various coworkers, friends, family members, and even classmates, ask if I can pet sit for them. I am currently in between jobs, and to fill in time and happiness, I am very flexible throughout the day. I can be available as early as 8am and as late as 8pm, any day of the week. Since I am only offering day care, I have a front yard with ample space for bathroom breaks and a small back area as well. Other than that, I have sidewalks lining my streets, where many other pet owners frequently walk their dogs. I also have a car, and am willing to drive to a park (I.e. Schenley, Frick, etc) if you are comfortable with it. If I am visiting your home, I will gladly abide by all rules that you have.
About: I have a dog of my own, so I understand what it takes to care for animals. I make sure to provide the same kind of care I’d want for my own furry friend! I currently work full time, so I’m available in early mornings, evenings, and weekends primarily. Reach out about weekday availability as I have some flexibility on times for week days! It’s important to read animals to figure out what they want. I lean on guidance from owners and cues from animals to best meet their needs and get them the care they want!
“Megan came to my rescue and was available over the holiday. She took great care of my dog and kept me informed so I could enjoy time with my family. She is reliable and loved up on my dog. I will be using her in the future!”

She is flexible with my schedule and accommodates any changes or requests I have. Arya loves Tori and always looks happy and healthy when I come back.

Tori is one of the best dog sitter I have ever had, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person to watch their dog.”
