“Dong was great with our dog mason. He dog sat for us while we were away for a wedding. He regularly sent pictures and videos of our dog. He’s communication was on point and very responsive. He followed the instructions and I would highly recommend dong.”


“Elizabeth is such a gem. Not only very knowledgeable and experienced but she was also incredibly attentive to my pup’s needs. Will definitely be booking her again 😊”


“I could not be happier with Sara! This was my first time having a non-family member watch my dog while I was out of town and I was so nervous about it. I looked at a lot of options before deciding on Sara and am so glad I did - Sara stayed at my place and with Sasha for two weeks. She took such wonderful careful of Sasha and sent me multiple pictures and updates every day. Sasha clearly loved her and Sara treated her like her own, making me feel so at ease and letting me enjoy my vacation without worrying about her. On top of that, she left my apartment just as clean as I left it. I will definitely be using Sara in the future and am so relieved to have found someone I can trust! Could not recommend Sara more.”

“It was our first time booking Aiayana and she did a fantastic job taking care of my dog during the holiday season. We loved her personality right from our first meeting! Aiayana kept us updated by sending pictures of Ginger's daily routine and she went the extra mile when my dog had an accident on the carpet. Additionally, she left the house spotless and even cleaned my cat's litter box, which was not a part of her job. We'll definitely book her again!”


“Dona is absolutely wonderful. She took great care of our 2 kitties and our giant Irish Wolfhound. Our pets are usually extremely shy but they warmed up to her so fast! She also sent great updates and photos. We look forward to booking her again in the future!!”


“We are so grateful to have found Samara to watch our dog Gobi! She's attentive, responsible and great with our nervous lil guy.

She even did our dishes! Literally the sweetest. Thank you Samara!”

From the moment I met Dee, I could tell she was passionate about animals and really understood their needs. She kept me updated with adorable photos and sweet messages, letting me know how Ash was doing. It was clear that Dee went above and beyond to make sure Ash felt loved and comfortable while I was away. When I returned, Ash was calm, happy, and seemed to have enjoyed her time with Dee. I highly recommend Dee for anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter—she truly treated Ash like her own baby!”

“Adeanna was amazing with our 2 dogs for house sitting for 5 days! She came to meet up prior so she could get a better understanding on how to take care of our dogs. Then when it was time for her to come stay at our space, Adeanna was extremely communicative checking in and sending pics throughout the day. She was also excellent and providing nuance care our 2 dogs. Our dogs love Adeanna and we highly recommend her! 😁😁”


About: Dogs gravitate towards me, and me to them! I’ll take a good moment to let them feel me out, and read them as well. If they need a little space I always meet them where they’re at— and if not, it’s all love! I’ll of course do the basics (feeding, regularly scheduled walks, pee & poo patrol, playtime, companionship, cleaning small messes)- but talk to me about any specific needs! I can handle coordinating playdates with your dog’s best friend, specific routes or dog parks, simple medications, brushing, special toy/reward reinforcement, and reinforcing existing/in progress commands. I work remotely Mondays & Fridays so am quite flexible Fri-Mon! Other days I am sometimes in person v sometimes remote (the day depends), so we can most likely make your needs work! In your home, I follow your desired schedule, and keep to the areas you prefer. For in-home overnight stays: you designate the rooms that I and your dog stay in (ideally should cover areas to access the dog’s normal food, sleep, and play needs, as well as bathroom, sleep, and water for me). Pet cameras welcome, but please disclose where they are. For walks: you designate where I should be/not be. Ideally this includes access to your dog’s treats, harness/collar/leash, poop bags. You’re welcome to tell me specific dog parks or routes that your dog loves; otherwise I’m happy to change it up for your dog to enjoy some variety! If you share any watch-outs (high sensitivity to other breeds of dogs, or types of uniforms/people, certain noises, other kinds of animals, etc) happy to keep the walk safe and friendly!

“Kaitlin is the best. She treated my two kitties like her own. She sent plenty of pictures and was very communicative. She went above and beyond for my babies. I was never worried and always felt like they were in great hands. Would recommend 100000000%”


About: I’ve been pet and house sitting since I was 13 years old. My aunt used to trust me with her house and her three dogs, two old beagles and one elderly weiner dog who was a puppy mill mama. After that, I pet sit for friends and family members, and eventually to co workers and customers from the restaurant I served at. My longest stint was three weeks, I stayed at the house with the two dogs, and I also helped out at the Airbnb on the property, turning over the bedding etc for new guests. I love to be able to let animals stay home instead of getting anxious and worried being boarded and also being away from their family. (Not villainizing , because sometimes boarding can be nice for more social dogs!) I also can provide more short term care at my apartment for a single large dog or cat. Or multiple small dogs. I have a very flexible schedule. I have taken care of elderly pets and pets who needed medication given. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, horses and farm animals! Thanks so much for reading and hopefully I can help you out in some way! I can stay for short or long term amounts of time. For example: a weekend trip or vacation. I can also just do overnights! I work part time as a server but no double shifts. I live in an apartment, right across the road there is a small park which has a dog park section separated by big and small dogs!

“Raj house sat our dogs while we were away for our wedding. He was great and went above and beyond to care for them. They were so tired and happy when we returned. Would definitely recommend and use his services again!”


About: Petsmake everything better! I have a deep love for animals and enjoy being outdoors, so dog walking is a natural fit. I’ll make sure your furry friend gets the exercise, care, and affection they deserve. Back home, I have two Basset Hounds, one super chill and one with the energy of a Retriever, so I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. Whether your pup prefers a slow stroll or an active adventure, I’ve got it covered! I am available weekends, early mornings, and evenings! I can be flexible with this, I want to make as much time as I can to help you and your best friend out! I always keep a close eye on pets to ensure their safety and comfort. Whether in a walk or in the client’s, I provide attentive care by monitoring their behavior, making sure they have fresh water, and responding promptly to their needs. I prioritize creating a calm and secure environment so pets feel happy and relaxed while I’m with them
