She’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a natural way with animals. I use her every time and will continue to do so in the future.

About: As an experienced dog parent myself (I've raised a big sweetheart Great Dane from a small puppy and have always had special dogs in my family), I'm prepared to provide excellent and tender care for your furry family member, big or small. I also have 6 years of professional experience administering basic veterinary care to multiple species. I have a decent amount of flexibility in my schedule (currently a graduate student), which enables me to be available for your pet during the week and weekend. I’m most often available for walks and home visits after 2pm on certain weekdays and during the evening, and am able to pet-sit in the evenings, weekends, and overnight as well. I prioritize empathetic, highly attentive interactions with the animals I care for, and will work hard to ensure your animal is both safe and truly looked after. I also value and respect your pet’s need for consistency in feeding and exercise schedules! And, because every pet has slightly different needs and lifestyles, I’m happy to accommodate your specific requests during walks, feeding, and play.
“Can’t recommend Nick enough! We had to fly out of state very urgently, and Nick was a lifesaver- responded very quickly and made sure our cats would be well taken care of! 10/10 would book again”
About: Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs. Some times I take them to the dog beach and for hiking. I am available for drop in visits and dog walks the whole week with possibility of adapting to the schedule that works better for you. I can take care of your dog at your place for a few hours. If you want some furry company for your dog, my dog is very friendly and he will keep your dog company all the time.
“Zining provided amazing care for Asha when I had to take a last minute trip! She was very responsive and provided detailed updates. I highly recommend her services.”
About: I love all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs and cats. I have been petsitting and walking dogs for over 10 years. I believe that it is important to take each dog's individual personality and preferences into account when caring for them. I'm professional, reliable and flexible. My fun and compassionate personality will ensure your dog and I will be best friends. I'm available from Monday to Friday - from 9 am to 6 pm. I can do Sundays and holidays sometimes as well, but would better discuss those in advance. The key is to follow their established routine, providing consistent food, water, exercise, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and attention, while ensuring their safety and comfort within the environment, including regular bathroom breaks and monitoring their overall well-being; this may include specific considerations depending on the pet's species, breed, and any special needs they might have.
“Yue took great care of my cat when my family and I went on an extended trip during Christmas and New Year. She sent us great photos and videos. She was very responsive to my requests and was respectful towards my property during her visits. Will definitely use her service again in the future. Highly recommend.”
“As a rover sitter myself, I always try to provide the level of care I would want my dog to receive and Cynthia goes above and beyond my expectations every time!

My pup loves his time with Cynthia and I will easily be booking with her again!”
About: Hi! I’m a recent college graduate and former student athlete with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and have always enjoyed caring for them, whether going on long walks, playing, or just spending time together. I love to be active, so I can keep up with energetic pups! I’d love to help give your furry family members the care and attention they deserve while you're away! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. Since I'll be home with them I can create a calm and structured environment, great for pets who thrive on routine and companionship. I live in a spacious apartment with a balcony and lots of outdoor space. There is also a beautiful park and dog park next door where I can take them to play!
“Angela was fantastic! Easy to work with and very responsive. She took excellent care of our cat, and sent lots of pictures and videos to let us know he was happy and healthy while we were away.”
About: I’ve cared for and had big dogs since I was 7 and understand dog behavior well. I’ve trained all of my dogs since I was little and have been a neighborhood sitter. I love all dogs but big dogs will always have a special place in my heart! I’m working part time, and can easily fit a walk in my schedule at least every day if not more. My schedule does depend on the day but please reach out and we can figure something out :) I am available early mornings, afternoons, and nights! In the clients home I will foster the most safe environment I can for myself and the pet. I am not afraid to ask questions about behavior and for help from the client to ensure the best care for the pet.
“I appreciate Allison's communication during her visits and Bella was happy when I got home. All was clean and in order and I would use Allison again!”
About: This summer I lost my senior pup and I am looking to get some furry love back in my life. I love running, hiking, playing, and exploring with younger dogs. I have a lot of tender experience with geriatric dogs as well, including administering medication, dealing with incontinence, and staying active with mobility limitation. I know how important it is to trust that your sitter will take care of your pet the same way you would, and that is the level of service I strive to provide. I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule, so I have a lot of availability for your pup's needs! I will keep my calendar up-to-date, but feel free to reach out with any scheduling questions. I know that coming home to a space that feels clean and respected is a big part of trusting a sitter in your home. As a property owner I place a high priority on following any instructions you provide and cleaning up after myself. For boarding, our house doesn't have a yard but we live in a very safe place for walks and we have a covered porch for dogs who like people watching.

“Adam was great with my 85lb Doberman! My dog is not the easiest to walk, he’s dog reactive and pulls, but Adam handled him perfectly. He was also able to make arrangements same day.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 13 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve always had pets in the house since I was a little girl and currently have a 3 year old pup of my own. We trained her from puppyhood, and I have learned even more about patience, communication, and unconditional love since adopting her. Over the years, I’ve provided everything from daily dog walks to full-week overnight care. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a long walk, or extended pet sitting, I always treat each pet like they’re my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away because I know how important this is for all our pets. I’m currently working a full time job but have unique hours where the alternate days and have a half day Friday. I also get every weekend off. I can use my later work days, short Fridays, or weekends to help walk or check on your pets. When I help take care of pets in the home, I always make sure I know the specific details I need to make the pets feel comfortable with me and taken care of. I have helped care for very friendly and also very scared pets and have always found they warm up to me quickly. I remain calm and loving to all the furry friends I help watch.

5. Brendan P.
“Brendan is honestly an animal whisperer. He has a gentle, calm, and patient approach with them that makes animals trust him so easily. For instance, my own dog is quite wary and sometimes even aggressive towards men in particular. However, upon meeting Brendan, my dog was able to open up to him because Brendan was able to read his body language. It was truly a sight to behold! He is well-versed in taking care of animals of all kinds. Besides being a fantastic pet-parent (to his Great Dane and his cat(s), he also has some veterinary care experience, as he works with some non-domesticated animals- which is great to have as an animal caretaker!”

She has had cats of her own for many years, so she is super informed and educated about being a pet owner. She is very responsible and attentive in caring for my pet. She would stick with the notes I had given her and would take time out of her day to play with my cat, to ensure he socializes, which is something that I care for. She is reliable, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter.”
