About: I've spent years around dogs and cats and love spending time with them. More recently I've pet sat cats needing medication, plus dogs and cats spanning the full personality spectrum: high-energy goofballs and shy, need-to-warm-up-slowly types alike. I read each pet's cues quickly and adjust. I'm outgoing, upbeat, reliable, with good attention to detail. I also have my own cat, so I know what it's like to want a caregiver you can fully trust with your pet's routine. If you're looking for someone your pet will actually be excited to see, I'd love to hear from you — send a message anytime! I typically work 9-5 M-F with some flexibility - especially on Mondays and Fridays. I can always stop by before and/or after work, and depending on schedule/location, I can sometimes do a midday visit. I'm pretty flexible on the weekends. When I'm caring for a pet in your home, I stick closely to your instructions — feeding schedule, medication, walk routine, and any specific habits or quirks you flag. I do a walkthrough of the space early on to spot anything that could be a safety issue (open trash, auto feeders plugged in and functioning, etc.) and make sure doors and gates are always secured. For dogs, I keep an eye out during outdoor time for other animals, traffic, or anything that might spook them; for cats, I make sure litter, food, and water are consistent and that they have a safe, quiet space if they're the shy type. I'll also always check in with you with photos, updates, and answering any questions! Additionally, I'll always treat your home with respect. I am clean and organized and happy to help with tasks like bringing in the mail, watering plants, etc. I typically can't bring pets into my own home but if there's an emergency in your home (i.e., power outage or water leak) while you're away and the pet needs to come over while we figure out a solution, I'm happy to do my best to accommodate that.

“Jacquline was able to help us on very short notice and kindly provides pictures and updates with each visit. Our cats really enjoy her visits!”

“Taylor was such an amazing sitter for my cat bean! Bean is very shy and skiddish and it seemed that she felt very comfortable with Taylor upon a day of her coming to watch her. She was extremely communicative and left in depth reports of what she completed upon each visit. I will certainly be booking her again for any sitting needs going forward!”

“Lauren has taken amazing care of our three cats and we feel so comfortable and secure knowing she's the one taking care of them when we are away!”

“Emily took amazing care of Prince! She sent us amazing updates everyday and provided perfect personality pictures. We will definitely use her again!”

“Katherine is awesome! Very lucky to have her nearby :) She always goes the extra mile - refilling his water, giving him treats, etc. and leaves detailed notes for us.”

“Nathalia checked in on our cat during our week away. She was very professional when coordinating the visits and did a perfect job of caring for our cat. We looked forward to her wonderful updates and photos during our vacation. Knowing that our cat was well cared for allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

About: I just graduated from law school and am studying for the bar exam this summer! I definitely need to get out of the house for breaks throughout the day and would love to spend that time walking your dog:) I am available during the day most days, as I am currently studying. So all of my time outside of pet care is dedicated to that! I have an apartment, so for boarding dogs they should be ok with an elevator! I try to take dogs out every 2 hours depending on their needs. There are a lot of green spaces near my apartment, as well as a dog park 4!blocks away!

“Navya took such great care of our kitty cat while we were away! She went to check on her the same time every day and sent updates and pictures about how she was doing. Zuzu was a happy girl when we got home and very well taken care of! We will definitely book Navya again when we’re in need of someone to take care of our baby.”

“Nick was great with our cats, Sarada and Eli! This was the first time my roommate and I had used a cat sitter, so we were a little nervous. But Nick followed all of our instructions very carefully and gave great feedback and photos for each visit! I felt much better after the first check-in. He’s also just a very nice and friendly person overall, and our cats seemed to get along well with him! I highly recommend him for cat sitting!”

Lauren Y.

“Abby was so attentive! I got wonderful, detailed reports with lots of photos. Cat seemed very comfortable with Abby, and pretty happy overall. Huge thanks, Abby!”

Lindsey F.

“Gracie did a fantastic job watching my cat, who needed twice a day pill administration. She was very communicative and I appreciated her sending all the pics and videos! Will definitely book with Gracie if I need a sitter in the future!”

About: I have taken care of pets since childhood, starting when I helped my parents look after our Cairn Terrier. My two current dogs (Dachshund and Lab) have given me experience with different life stages from puppy to adulthood. They have different personalities and are different sizes which I think makes me feel comfortable with all size dogs. Our lab has a lot of allergies so we have to be very careful about her food allergies and give her medicine to control her itchiness. Having two dogs means when I have a pet sitter I know how important it is to communicate details about walking/food/interactions with other dogs/habits and more. I would love to take care of your dog and treat them as if they are part of our family as well. I will be on sabbatical starting in August, which allows me to maintain a consistent daily routine dedicated to walking, caring for, and playing with dogs. I am fully available on both weekdays and weekends start in August, with the exception of 1 week planned vacations in August and November. Based on my experience with my dog, my neighbors dogs, and my friends dogs I can provide walks, baths, food, playtime, dog park time, and so forth. I have had my co-workers dog stay with us as well. It is important to me that they eat their food, have expected pees/poops, and feel comfortable in a new environment. If there is anything odd or unexpected I will message right away to confirm if its normal. I love taking pictures and sending them. Anything that could be improved with their care please let me know!

About: My own golden retriever lived to nearly 15, and caring for her through every stage of life is what gave me a real understanding of what dogs need and what their owners worry about. I don’t take that lightly when I’m caring for someone else’s dog and I treat each one as if they were my own! I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and personalities, from brand-new puppies to seniors, and from the shyest wallflowers to the most enthusiastic greeters. I’m comfortable with leash training for puppies and administering supplements and medications for older dogs with established routines. Midday walks are one of my favorite parts of the day, and I’m also available for drop-in visits when that’s all your pup needs. Either way, you can count on your dog getting genuine, attentive care while you’re away. As a remote worker, I have a flexible day and would love to break it up with outdoor activities with your dog! Aside from times when I have meetings, I am available to go and let out your pet or go for an outdoor activity. I always defer to the owners instructions for a visit and follow them to a tee. Whether your dog just needs a quick outing and play time inside or a longer walk in a certain route, I am able to provide whatever your dog needs to have a good visit!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 and quickly became the go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors. I truly love spending time outdoors, going on long walks, exploring trails, and enjoying the fresh air, and I believe dogs deserve that same active, happy lifestyle. I’m patient, gentle, and always take time to connect with each dog so they feel safe and loved. I’m currently studying and applying for jobs from home, so my schedule is very flexible. That means I can easily fit pet care into my day and adjust to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or drop-in visits, I have plenty of time and energy to give your pets the attention they deserve. I can walk all kinds of dogs with care. I can visit the clients’ home to feed, play and take out dogs, and follow any instructions provided.

“Charlie was absolutely fantastic! Luna is usually very shy, but she seemed a lot more social this time. Charlie took great care of her and gave us detailed updates during our trip. We were both very happy and would definitely book again. Thank you so much!”

“Priscilla is the best! She is reliable and really cares about our cat, Fettuccine! It’s great to be able to be able to go out of town and not stress about how Feta is doing! And as a bonus, Feta holds less of a grudge when we get home..so it’s clear she enjoys Priscilla’s visits!”

“Sara was so nice and made sure that our baby was taken care of while we were on vacation. She gave us detailed updates and sent us pics and videos. Thank you Sara for giving us peace of mind and being so great to Ivy!”
