“She was so helpful and the kittens loved her. Even my shy girl eventually came out to play!”
“Hands down the best for any fur babies. I love it when Lezlie watches my 3 kitties. She’s the best sitter. Whenever I go on vacation I tell the cats “Lezlie’s coming!!!🤣”. I always feel at ease with Lezlie looking over our home. Kind, communicative, prompt, always a great experience with Lezlie. 🤩”
“Repeat customer! Brittany is very in tune with our cats and can tell when something is off, we appreciate her monitoring our cats health while we are gone!”
“Thank you Julie for taking great care of Sunny while we were away. Julie was willing to take the time to meet, in advance, to get to know Sunny, go over our instructions and ensure we were comfortable prior to booking. Julie followed our instructions exactly and Sunny was well taken care of while we were away. Thank you again Julie.”
“Quick response and excellent service. First time using the app and she was very helpful. Would recommend 👍🏻”
“Edward was absolutely amazing! His communication was superb and we felt very lucky to have him watch our pups over the weekend. 11/10 best dog sitter I’ve ever worked with. Can’t recommend him highly enough!”
About: I live with three furry overlords! Two I adopted after they were abandoned and one I rescued when he was starving. They’ve since promoted me to full-time servant, expert treat dispenser, professional litter cleaner and chin scratcher. Available anytime :) If you need someone to take care of your kitty cats, contact me. I’m a full time cat mom at the moment. I keep their routine consistent with feedings, playtime, and cuddles (24/7 for cuddles). Fresh water is always available, litter boxes are cleaned daily, and I make sure they get plenty of stimulation and affection. Basically, I treat them like royalty with a side of silly voices.
“Makayla was wonderful & so sweet! I needed a sitter on very short notice for in-home boarding of my cat & she was super quick to respond & coordinate plans for dropping off. Really easy communication, never had a problem getting ahold of her for an update here & there & took great care of my kitty who was a bit stressed at the time from being in the middle of a move. Would 100% rebook & recommend! ?”
“Kathie took excellent care of our 4 legged family member while we were gone. Definitely going to request again.”
“Kristin was an amazing pet sitter. She always updated me about my cat and was so caring with him. I would definitely recommend her for anybody who wants their pet to receive lots of love while the owners are gone.”
About: I have one year experience working at a boarding and daycare facility! I also have past volunteer experience at my local Humane Society where I provided treats and blankets for the dogs. I grew up with my 12 and 7 year old labs and they are my best friends. I love getting to know new animals and making them feel comfortable with someone other than their owner! I would love to spend my free time caring for animals and making families feel more secure with who is treating their pets! I’m fairly flexible with scheduling. I am very easy going but can also be stern when needed. I would be very excited to let animals be themselves in their home and ensure that they are safe but also still enjoying their time with me!
“Katalina did an amazing job! She followed all instructions, sent drop-in visit pictures, and treated my dog well. She also went beyond by cleaning my dishes in the sink and tidying up my apartment for when I got back. I would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!”
About: My family got our first puppy when I was only four years old, and for the last six years, I have taken care of three family dogs in addition to three cats. After living with so many animals for such a long time, I certainly know the do’s and don’t’s of pet care. I am very attentive and thorough in everything I do, especially when it comes to caring for another living being, and I will love your pets like they were my own and care for them the same way. I am a full time college student, but with classes out for the summer, I am free practically all day every day! I can provide plenty of attention for your pet without worrying about how much time it will take. I can pay as much attention to your pet as you need me to. If your dog is low energy and prefers to lay around all day, I can stay by their side and take them for bathroom breaks as often as needed. On the other hand, if your dog loves to play and run outside, I can certainly keep them entertained all day long, as well. I will be sure to follow any special instructions you have for your pet, including dietary needs, medications, specific behaviors, and anything else.
About: Growing up I always house and pet sit for my friends and neighbors. I would care for their animals and also upkeep the house if needed. I also grew up around a plethora of animals, so I have experience with all kinds! Over the summer, I am available for anything you need! I have no commitments on the weeks that I will be home, so I am here to care for or hang out with your animals. In someone’s home, I make sure the pet is comfortable with a new person around and let them feel safe in the comfort of their own home.
“I used Ben’s services for the first time recently to watch both my cat and my house. He did a fantastic job and went well above expectations. As I believe others have said, in addition to taking care of my cat, which was the top priority, he left the house super clean and tidy, washed the sheets, cleaned up the dishes. I highly recommend him.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs since they were puppies. I also take care of family and friends pets whenever they need help. I will treat your furry friends like they are my own! I am currently working until 3:30 during the week. I would love to spend time taking care of dogs or cats anytime after 3:30 on weekdays or any weekends. I have taken care of dogs that are crate training or when they are free to roam around the house. I know how hard it is to put dogs up when they are crying, but I’ve had to do it before so I feel comfortable doing it.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of pets' individual needs and my calm, patient approach—especially with puppies and senior animals. I have hands-on experience with basic puppy training, including crate training, housebreaking, and leash manners. I also specialize in senior pet care, from administering medications to providing gentle exercise and comfort tailored to their age and health conditions. Pet parents often tell me they feel at ease knowing I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in their pet’s well-being. I treat every animal like my own—whether it’s keeping a high-energy puppy engaged with structured play or ensuring an older dog feels safe and relaxed in their routine. Additionally, I stay in close communication with owners, sending regular updates and photos, so they always feel connected. My goal is to provide not just care, but peace of mind. I am currently on my summer break so I am free for most of July and August! Once school starts I won’t be able to board many animals because I will be gone but I would still be available to walk animals or go over to a house and feed/let out your pet! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my priority is always to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In My Home: I offer a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and rest. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or medication—so they feel secure and at ease. I provide plenty of mental stimulation through toys, training games, and cuddles, and I make sure they get the right amount of exercise based on their energy level and age. Pets are never left alone for long periods, and I always maintain a clean, supervised environment. In My Client’s Home: I respect the home as much as I do the pet. I maintain the pet’s usual schedule to help minimize stress while their owner is away. That includes sticking to walk times, feeding routines, administering medications, and giving them the attention and affection they’re used to. I also keep the home tidy, water plants if needed, bring in mail, and send regular updates with photos and notes to keep clients fully informed. No matter the location, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with love, patience, and consistent care.
About: I’ve cared for my own dog, T-Bone, for over 5 years and understand the daily needs of dogs of all ages. I also have experience walking and pet-sitting for friends and neighbors. In addition, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, where I helped walk dogs, clean kennels, and comfort animals in a high-stress environment. That hands-on experience taught me how to handle dogs with a wide range of temperaments and needs—including shy rescues, excitable puppies, and older dogs. I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine. Since I already care for my own dog daily, walks and pet care naturally fit into my everyday life. Whether it’s a quick midday walk or an evening stroll, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the attention and exercise they need! When I’m caring for a dog, their safety and comfort come first. I always use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, avoid high-traffic or overly crowded areas, and never take on more dogs than I can safely handle at once. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, energy level, and triggers so I can tailor the walk to their needs. In a client’s home, I treat the space with care and respect, making sure pets are calm, happy, and safe while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you always know your pet is in good hands!

Gyeongseo B.
“Seo is the most caring and genuine individuals I know. I feel jealous of her cats because they are spoiled to no end. If any pets are living better than her cats, they are lying. She is always making sure that they are at healthy weights, playing with them to give them exercise, and giving them all the love and attention they can handle. Any owner that is fortunate enough to have Seo babysit their cat(s) can be assured that their cats will be treated like royalty and are in the best of hands.”
