About: I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs since I was 13. I've had my own dogs, as well as caring for and watching many friends' and neighbors' dogs overnight. I simply adore dogs and I believe they can sense it. I'm very patient, calm, & will treat your dog with the upmost of care. I'm dedicated to dog sitting and walking! My schedule is flexible and I'm available 5 days (Sunday through Thursday in the day), and overnights Sunday through Thursday as well. I'm comfortable staying over a client's house. I'm respectful of property and very clean. I will become fast friends with your fur baby and play with them for hours.

She is wonderful. So reliable, communicative, and caring. I had total peace of mind while I was away knowing she was caring for Maggieour cat. She got her to play everyday which I'm sure she loved. Everything was clean and tidy when we came back. Maggie was happy and healthy and at ease. Thank you so much Adora.

I could not be happier with how Marianna took care of my cat. Kunkcles was well taken care of while I was away. Marianna did everything I asked. I will definitely return to her in the future if she is available.

Staff was a fantastic sitter and took great care of our two sphinx cats while we were on vacation. She kept in continual contact, administered medications when they were required, and spent extra time with our cats. It is clear that Steff enjoys the company of pets. She was punctual and went the extra mile when our plans were changed at short notice and beyond our control. We cannot recommend Steff highly enough.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I’ve pet sat and cared for many of my friends and family’s animals as well as my own. I am physically strong and can handle walking bigger dogs. I also volunteer at an animal shelter and have taken care of, walked, and medicated animals of all ages and sizes. My work schedule is pretty flexible and I can fit dog walking before or after I work. I’m usually off on weekends so I’ll have even more availability then as well. I do not have a fenced in yard so I will not bored dogs at my house. I will gladly take your dog on walks and can even come to your house to watch your dog when needed.

About: I’m a retired professional with a calm, patient nature and a genuine love for animals. My sister has two dogs, one of whom is a super senior with special needs, so I’m very comfortable providing extra attention, patience, and thoughtful care. With a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to one-on-one care, I enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for dogs and cats. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication routines, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering reliable care and true peace of mind to pet parents. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a retired professional, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around a pet’s needs rather than the other way around. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, medication schedules, and quiet companionship. I enjoy building consistent routines that help pets feel secure and comfortable, and I’m able to give them my full attention without feeling rushed. This flexibility also allows me to adapt easily to senior pets or those with special needs who may require extra time, patience, or monitoring. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs—whether in my home or in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water, regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m especially attentive to senior and special-needs pets, including administering medications as directed and keeping a calm, consistent environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and space, making sure pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also keep pet parents updated with check-ins and notes so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I really love animals and spending time with them. I currently work as a dog walker, so I’m used to being around dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I also have my own cat, Leyla, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I always pay attention to each pet’s needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to communicate with. I treat every pet like my own, and their safety and happiness are always my priority. My work shifts end by 3:30 PM, so I am fully available for afternoon and evening care at your home. While my off days vary each week, I am very flexible and can provide dedicated time for walks or house sitting during those days. I am committed to following your pet's specific routine and ensuring they get the attention they need once I am off work. I am a very responsible and alert sitter who prioritizes the safety of your pet and the security of your home. I am extremely careful about locking doors and ensuring your pet is safe and supervised at all times during my visits. I stay in constant communication with owners, providing updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.

Hannah was fantastic! She came three times a day, was always reliable and trustworthy, and showed up even in bad weather. We have a large dog (over 100 lbs) and felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. We’ve used Hannah multiple times and never worry when we’re away. Highly recommend!

Brianna was amazing. We typically have close friends check in on our boy, but recently moved to the area and did not know anyone yet. She made everything super easy, gave consistent updates, and provided tons of cute pics.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiance Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a child - from puppies and kittens to senior furry friends who need a little extra care. I'm happy to make your time away from home worry-free, with walks, feeding, play time and lots of cuddles. I'll take care of your plants and bring in the mail too, making things easy for you to step away. Now that I am retired, I love taking care of cats and dogs! I have the time to offer extra attention, and love it when tails start wagging when I arrive. Let me help you take the worry out of being away! As an active retiree, I am available when you need me. Three visits a day? I'm there. Does your dog relish its long afternoon walk? Me too! Fussy eater needs attention from first bite to clean plate? Maybe a little cuddle time after? The schedule we set up is the schedule I keep! Safety and security is one of the most important parts of pet care. I check for locked doors at every visit. The leash is on before we step outside. I don't engage with neighborhood pets to ensure that your your pup feels safe with me. And while I know that kitties have their own personalities, I am always patient and thoughtful toward their unique needs.
