“Beth was exceptional with our cats. She kept in close communication while we were gone and gave regular updates. It was evident that the cats were comfortable with Beth; when we got home they showed no signs of stress or misbehavior. I would wholeheartedly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”

About: Lifetime dog owner and several years of experience as a professional dog walker in the heart of Boston, MA! Experienced with all breeds and types of walking equipment. I recently moved to the Midwest from Boston so I'm currently a full-time dog-dad! I have a lot of free time to take care of pets :-) I follow all instructions given, as you know your pets best, and will always leave everything as I found it! I love to keep an open line of communication should any questions arise on either side.

About: I have been watching my neighbors dogs for the past 17 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. Since I am young and active, I can take your dog on walks and provide plenty of exercise throughout the day. Additionally, I can provide overnight sitting and ensure your house looks occupied. I am more than happy to bring in your mail/packages, water your plants, adjust the blinds, turn on and off lights, bring garbage cans to the curb (and back) for trash pick up. I have a cat of my own named Oliver so I also have years of experience with cat care! I can come check on your feline friend and will feed, refresh water, play, and clean the litter box as needed. I am very free during the summer. During the week I can stop by anytime during the day, as well as provide overnight care. I am also free most weekends. I understand it is hard to leave your furry friend so I really do go out of my way to put pet owner's at ease. I will consistently provide updates and photos so you know you are in good hands.
“Victoria was great with all 3 of my dogs. It tends to be a circus wrangling all 3, but she did an awesome job. Victoria is attentive to detail and great at communicating. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have experience dog walking and dog sitting, most importantly making pets feel comfortable and loved in their temporary new home! I have also fostered kittens until they were ready to be adopted! I am currently at home studying for my graduate school entrance exam, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend playing with your pup! I am available to dog sit any day of the week. I have no other pets at home so your pet will receive all my love and attention! I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks.
About: I have had pets for a majority of my life. I have had cats previously and currently have a chocolate lab and german shepherd that I mainly take care of. I’m a student at Lake Forest College with some jobs on the side. Let me know what you need and I’m willing to work something out! I have a fenced in yard with a dog on a leash, so I understand the importance of keeping an eye while they are outside. I am also capable of crating.
About: I am a college student living in East Harlem for the summer and near three great dog parks. I will provide 30-60 min walks with time in a park. Dogs enjoy a little time in parks with other dogs, so I try to make it happen as much as possible. Every walk comes with a complimentary treat and lots of love. I have over 10 years of dog care experience in all areas of pet ownership and hope to bring these skills to taking care of your pets! My goal is to make sure your dog has an enjoyable time away from you and to stick to any schedule you set forth for your dog. Hope I am given the chance to treat your dogs to a great walk! I currently work part-time, so I have a lot of time to share with your pet. I strive to make all pets comfortable, loved and well played with. I follow all rules given to the T. I will play any game while keeping them on schedule. I offer long dog walks. Comfortable sleeping spaces with optional cuddles for cats lol! I have a lot of space for zoonoses in my own home as well.

About: From bunnies to fish to dogs to chickens, I’ve helped out with neighborhood pets since high school. I have my own dog, Gordie, who comes to college with me, so I’m used to caring for pets. I’ve gone through extensive training classes with Gordie and have developed a very good understanding his behavioral cues and how to respond. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and am confident in my ability to interact and connect with them. I’m working part time from home and am always around to stop in to take care of pets, go for walks, or entertain them. I can easily stop in throughout the day for check-ins and walks. I prefer mornings and afternoons but can do a final check-in during the evening too. Looking to make new animal friends! I am used to going into other people’s homes and respecting their space. Safety and security are my priorities when it comes to pets and homes. I know it can be hard for some pets to be at home by themselves, so I’ll make sure to stimulate and comfort your pet during the time I’m there.
About: I grew up with pets and have years of experience caring for animals, including feeding, administering medication, and keeping their spaces clean and comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, from walks and playtime to maintaining their daily routines. Since I can’t have pets of my own right now, I truly enjoy caring for others’ and making sure they feel loved and well cared for. I’m currently a student at Wake Forest, so outside of my class schedule, I’m pretty flexible and able to adjust my routine to meet your pet care needs. I am not available 12-3pm M-Th or T/Th 9:30-11am. In clients’ homes, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and well cared for by following their usual routines. This includes feeding, administering medication if needed, cleaning up after the pets, and providing plenty of attention, playtime, or walks. My goal is to ensure pets feel happy and secure while their owners are away.

I have had her look after my pets several times and I can rest assured knowing that they are always comfortable and loved in her care. My dog, Duncan, recognizes her car and gets so excited to see her every time, and I know your pets will react just the same. :)”
Sophia H.
“Sophia is one of the best pet caregivers I have ever trusted to take care of my own pets. She is caring, considerate, and hardworking. I have never worried about anything while my pets are in her care because they are so excited to see her and beyond happy when I return. When my dog was sick, Sophia was the first person to help our family out. Not only did she care for him like he was her own dog, but when he passed, she cried with us and we mourned the loss together. Sophia is one of the best dog sitters I know because she is able to meet each dog where they are at, adapting to their own individual needs. She has experience with her own pets at home, and she has taken care of countless other pets throughout her time as a pet caregiver. Sophia is loving, personable, and dependable; she is someone I can always reach out to for support.”
Kayla G.
“Kayla is a great dog and cat sitter! She is very attentive and loving! She watched my Maltese, Zoe when I was away on a trip, and I got many photos and updates, which I appreciated! I highly recommend Kayla.”
