“Angela took great care of my boys while I was away for a weekend trip. My doggies are usually pouty when I leave them for more than a few hours and they acted like I never left! Angela was also great with communication and very prompt to respond.”


“Christina did a fantastic job taking care of my 3 fur-babies! She spent quality time with my cats, followed all care instructions perfectly, and sent me photo and video updates daily. I highly recommend hiring her to take care of your fur-babies as well!”



“Miriam dropped in on Black Kitty for three days. Her communication was thorough and care was excellent. I appreciated all the photos that were sent while I was away, and also an update when Black Kitty had appeared to get into a piece of styrofoam that I left on my desk. (She secured the styrofoam and put it out of reach.) I would not hesitate to have Miriam care for Black Kitty again.”


“Alex was so incredibly flexible and was able to extend our booking for an extra day to accommodate my travel plans, no questions asked. The process was seamless and it was such a relief knowing my kitties were well taken care of despite the schedule changing. Don’t know what I would have done without her!!”


“I was looking for a sitter on a short notice and I feel very lucky to have found a sitter like Anita. Anita was open to meeting on short notice and made me feel secure in leaving my pet with her.

Highly reccomended this sitter if you're looking for a reliable and caring friend for your pet while you're away.”

About: Ive taken care of several animals simultaneously since I was in elementary school. I grew up with two dogs, and several cats, and would often work as a dog walker/sitter for my neighbors animals. I currently work as a server, but the days that I have free can be fully committed to caring and spending time with some animal friends. I always make sure that any pet Im around as the necessary access to water and food as they would need. I also will make sure they have relieved themselves as needed, ensuring that they dont make a habit of making a mess inside the home. I offer care by giving animals dedicated amounts of energy and love, playing with them, giving them affection as well as exercise

About: I'm a foreigner and I should have left my little Hachi and Bailey in my country with their grandmother, my mom🤣 it's hard to be away from them and my way of spreading the love I feel for animals is by helping to take care of them, even for a couple of hours. I can guarantee that I will take care of them and give them love for as long as you need as if they were mine❤️ The work you currently do leaves me a lot of freedom of time, it can be said that I am my own boss, I can adapt to the time I need to take care of your pets, it would only be a matter of talking about it beforehand and with time. I really have availability every day I don't have dogs at home, my garden is fenced but my apartment is small and I consider it preferable to play or take care of pets in their comfort zone, but I have no problem bringing them home if necessary.

About: I love pets, and am the go-to pet sitter for many of my friends, who often invite me to care for their cats and dogs months in advance. I am attentive, follow care schedules and instructions to the letter, and am a pro at senior cat care taking care of our family's 21 year old Siamese cat, who passed away a few years ago. I'm a healthcare technology project manager on the job hunt for a new role. I am fully vaccinated and happy to housesit or walk dogs during the week between job applications and networking meetings, especially during normal working hours. I understand that it's my job to continue family patterns and routines, so I'm meticulous about following directions. I am also used to providing 'kitty hospice" for my elderly cat, so I am used to promptly cleaning up messes, checking on elderly pets frequently, and providing rather intensive care.

Cesar A.
“Cesar is an excellent dog sitter. He took care of my 20lb Terrier mix for two weeks. Cesar is knowledgeable about dog care and handling dogs with leash reactivity. He kept a close eye on fox tail around the neighborhood, and quickly learned to react to my dog's quirkiness: leash reactivity, fear of motorcycle sounds, and new people. By the end, my dog was smitten with him and is always happy to see Cesar. Cesar adhered to all of my requests, and followed my instructions carefully and always sent updates about Jack. He took my dog on walking adventures, because my dog loves walks. He is professional and friendly!”


Laura O.
“Laura has been an amazing caregiver for my dog, Reese, time and time again. I’ve hired her multiple times during holidays and work trips, and she always exceeds my expectations. Reese feels comfortable, happy, and completely trusts her. I’m usually nervous about leaving my dog with strangers or at dog hotels, but Laura provides the perfect solution by staying at my home so Reese can remain in his own familiar space. It’s never easy to be away from my dog for an extended period, but knowing Laura’s dedication and love for dogs gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”
