“Lindsay was absolutely great! I was very nervous about leaving my cats for the week as they are COVID pets that I hadn't left longer than a long weekend before. She gave me thorough updates each visit with pictures and reassured me they were doing well! Really made a huge difference knowing they were in good hands while I was away.”
“Melissa was fantastic, going above and beyond to make sure my two boys were taken care of. I will definitely try to book her again next time I need the cats taken care of. Thank you so much!”

“Alina did an amazing job taking care of my two cats! I was gone for about 8 days and was nervous leaving them for such an extended period of time, but was quickly put at ease. My cats can be temperamental at times and we're during my trip, and Alina knew exactly how to care for them still. Thank you so much! I would book Alina again as a sitter and recommend her greatly.”
About: Hi! I’m a 19-year old college student, currently on summer break looking for a way to make extra cash! I’ve always had atleast 2 dogs my whole life and have all the experience! I love all the dogs and cats from small to extra large and shy to extroverted. I’ve taken care of puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, lizards, hamsters, etc. I do work during the weekdays 8-4 but am available before and after to help care of your pets! I look forward to meeting new furry friends :) I currently work a 8-4 job during the weekdays but am available before or after work to stop by or stay over if needed. I’m also available basically all day on the weekends. I have a sizable yard which is fenced in and I always keep a close eye on my dogs. I take care of them appropriately and never fail to give them love.
“Chrissy was awesome! She came to the house to meet Bolt and was genuinely happy to meet him. She was extremely outgoing and bubbly and answered any questions I had. She took a bunch of pics during her walk and kept in communication during my trip. I would highly recommend her!”
“Raechel was amazing! She took great care of my cat, Couscous. She went above and beyond, played with him, gave him all the extra attention he needed. She sent me regular updates with pictures and notes, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing that Couscous was happy and well cared for. Thank you!”
About: I have experience taking care of show dogs in the past, as well as other animals, including cats, rats, rabbits, turtles, and many more. I am comfortable around most small animals, and I have a lot of experiencing caring for them and understanding their needs. I am very reliable, trustworthy, and hard working, and I will be flexible to work around your pets' schedule. I have yearly background checks done for work, which I can provide upon request. I’m currently working part time. I’m available during the days until mid- August and evenings after that. Weekends also work very well with my schedule. I don’t bring pets into my own home, but I’m happy to visit your home to care for your pet. I’m happy to follow whatever instructions you leave for your pet.
“Personable, attentive and responsive to our dogs. Julia immediately engaged with our pups, made them feel comfortable, and walked them around the neighborhood. Gives excellent positive reinforcement for their behavior. Communicates well, gives updates, and asks for details on care and activities. Definitely someone to trust with your pet.”
“Attentive and a great friend for our pup during her visit. Great communication as well. Was able to accommodate for our last minute request ! Thank you. Highly recommend”
About: I've cared for everything from birds and hamsters to cats and dogs! As a teacher and former daycare worker, I bring a calm, nurturing presence that pets (and babies!) naturally respond to. Whether it’s playful puppies or senior pets needing gentle care, I treat every animal like family. Since I am a teacher, I get summer off. My last day is June 18th, so after my last day my schedule is very flexible. I will be available every day of the week. My cats are indoor and I feed them in the morning when I wake up and before going to sleep. If the client has a dog, I like to take the dogs to the park or on a long walk and ensure they get physical activity. I feed them according to their schedule and make sure they get lots of snuggles throughout the day.
“Laura took such great care of our cat when we were away for a week! The photos and updates provided peace of mind so that we could enjoy our trip without worry. We will definitely be asking Laura to care for our kitty when we go out of town in the future!”
“First timer, here, and brand new to the city. Dalara and Jack go far beyond what I would have expected from a dog walking service. Dedicated and loyal, this team makes sure my Willow's adjustment is going well and daily needs are met. Jack comes with an amazing calm presence and my Willow fell in love with ease!.Dalara's love of animals is backed by key professional experiences, providing knowledge concerning any pet medical issues. These two make for a dynamic team that leaves me feeling very positive about my choice ! I love the updates and pictures I receive during the day. I've chosen to book with them again! Thank you, Jack and Dalara!!!!!!”
About: I have over 20 years of experience watching family and friend’s pets. I do over-night stays in your house with your pets, and dog walking. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, fish, and even lizards. I’m able to give medications, and I’m very good with senior pets. I was recently laid off and have completely open availability at the present time. I enjoy walking and would be happy to do that with your pet. I’m also available for home/pet-sitting during vacations. I have a senior cat who doesn’t do well with other animals so I can’t provide care in my home, but I have extensive experience providing care in my client’s homes. I respect my client’s homes and privacy - I do not bring guests into their homes or go through their belongings. I will keep your dog on-leash during walks but am happy to play with your dog in your yard or approved dog park.
“Olivia took such amazing care of our Crabcake while we were out of town! She provided in depth updated and took plenty of photos! Will absolutely hire her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“He is awesome. Super understanding. Last time I booked with him I left in a hurry and forgot to set some things up for him. .. He was flexible with the timing and very gracious about the situation. He took great care of Cookie!!! 100% recommend!!!”
About: I have six years of expertise and provide each pet with individualized, loving care. I have the patience, focus, and knowledge to deal with most behaviors. I make sure to gain their trust through understanding and empathy while assuring a safe environment. I've dealt with dogs that have behavioral issues, puppies, senior dogs, and anxious dogs. Seeing a pet become more confident and at ease in my care brings me joy that makes it all worth it! I’m currently in school taking classes remotely while also shadowing at a dog training facility so most days i’d be available for doggy daycare and walking! i have a large fenced yard and space to crate pets if needed. I also have two small yorkshire terriers that love to cuddle and a neighbor who has 3 very kind dogs of different ages if your pup ever needs some play mates! I make sure to thoroughly clean up after each stay and if your pup ever has an accident i’ll make sure to clean them up!

Ashley W.
“My sister, Ashley is one of the most compassionate and responsible pet sitters you will find. Since we were younger, we both had a variety of pets, so she is used to caring for everything - rats, birds, cats, dogs - you name it. She recently watched my dog, Cowie who was on medications that she had a bad reaction to. Ashley was a lifesaver and cared for her throughout the day and sent me videos and updates often. I am what you might call an overprotective dog parent and would trust Ashley with Cowie anytime. You can count on her to be reliable, punctual, and mostly caring and compassionate, and I would highly recommend her as your future pet sitter. ”
