Ra-chel was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative, punctual, and followed all of the instructions I gave her. I have a puppy and a 3-year-old dog with anxiety, and she took the time to make sure both of them were comfortable and cared for. She sent plenty of updates and photos—and from the looks of it, they were both very happy! I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!

She has been absolutely amazing! When my husband and I need a dog walker in the future we will definitely be rebooking through her. Thoughtful and so great with Ziggy that my dog jumps for joy when she comes by to get her :)

About: I have had 3 dogs in my life, and 3 cats. I am not scared of dogs or cats. I have experience walking, feeding, giving water to dogs, giving baths, cleaning litter boxes, taking them to the vet and to beach. My cats sleep with me. I have experience with feeding them, placing them into a carrier, taking them to the vet, giving them water. I have a degree in biology, and I work as a biology teacher. I currently work as a teacher, so I would be mainly available after 4:00pm on the weekends. During the weekend, summer, spring break, and winter break, I am available anytime. I live in a house. The backyard is fenced, there are food and water bowls, litter boxes, dog/cat beds. I have 1 dog that is the sweetest and loves to play. I have 3 cats that would not bother the dog. If the need medication, I of course give them their needed medicine. I talk my dogs to the beach, for a walk around the neighborhood, and they love car rides! They love toys!

About: Grew up in a family with cats and dogs of all sizes. From mini schnauzers to English mastiffs, we had a good range. Our cats were all pretty small but what they lacked in size they made up for in personality and appetite. I always volunteer to care for my friends’ and family’s pets when they’re out of town so I’m really excited to meet new fur balls to take care of. As a pet parent myself, I want to be able to provide all my clients the certainty that their pets will be cared for like my own. I’m a college student that goes to school for only 2-3 hours a day so pet sitting to fill the time would be a joy. I will make sure to follow all directions concerning my client’s home to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort. If there is any areas that your pet needs to be in or avoid, that will be a priority to me. I myself have two furry little escape artists at home so I know how to handle eager explorers.

About: I've parented and cared for dogs for over 20 years. A food & water refresher, quick walk, and some genuine attention for your dog(s). Golden! I'm currently working evenings, so mornings and afternoons on weekdays are free for dog care. I have reliable transportation and pride myself on being punctual and thorough. During a dog visit I will feed, walk, play, and pickup after your dog. Any given guidelines will be a strictly followed. It's very important to me to provide our 4-legged friends with the best care possible!

Karmelita was amazing! Zippo can be kind of skittish with sitters, but had no problem coming out for her. Our cat needs medication regularly twice a day and Karmelita had no problem giving him the medication or with the schedule. And even stayed to play with him for a bit! She was an amazing communicator and took lots of photos. I highly recommend Karmelita and hope she is available next time we need someone to watch our cat!

Adrian was amazing! On time and followed care instructions to a T. I’m nervous to trust anyone with my pets and I’m so happy I found Adrian. They also sent pictures to show how much fun they were having and it put me at ease to see them having a ball. I will be booking with Adrian again whenever I need a dog sitter! Thank you so much for your care of my fur baby and I can’t thank you enough!

We’ve had sitters before, but never have we seen Buddy warming up to someone this quickly. He was literally demanding belly rubs from Sara the second day! Loki, of course, loved her from the start (he loves everyone), but it was especially heartwarming to see how relaxed and happy all three of our cats were while we were away. Even Lucy, who can be… let’s say, selectively social, tolerated her presence like a true diva. Sara clearly has a natural gift with animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our furry crew was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter!

About: I love all cats. From skittish to playful. I have cat sat in home for friends. I’ve also boarded a cat for friend for a month while he traveled. I’m currently have a flexible schedule for cat sitting. I have two of my own cats. They’re 7 years old & littermates. They have done multiple cross-country trips with me. I prefer to take care of your babies in their home because they’re most comfortable there. I have a dog as well & she is very calm. We take several trips a week to the dog park or dog beach.

Tara took excellent care of my senior, disabled dog to include administering all medications, providing excellent communication and feedback, and being considerate of her emotional needs and physical capability. She was flexible with my schedule that changed frequently and at no time did I feel like my dog was not in good hands.

About: I’ve administered meds, maintained a clean space for pets, and spoiled them with love. I ensure pets are happy healthy and comfortable when I’m sitting. I work nights so day time is the best time for my schedule. My job is inconsistent and I have slow weeks where I’m super available! I will always leash your doggy on walks or any outings. We will discuss what the best ways to keep your specific pet safe is depending on situation, fenced yard or crate? As long as they are happy, safe and comfortable!

About: If your dog needs a long walk with I am your girl! I’ve had all kinds of pets growing up. I currently have a 4 year old cat and a 2 year old dog raised since he was 10 weeks. So I know what it is like to have a dog that needs to burn energy. All though I haven’t had professional dog walking experience I have learned a lot with my dog Beef. Beef is a hyper active dog and needs exercise daily. Going on runs and trips to the dog park are what I love doing most with Beef! I put my pets needs first and will with your animals in my care. I am available week days and weekends. Times that work for me 6am- 7pm. I can do long walks or short walks between those times I live in an apartment, there is a dog park near by. My dog is crate trained, goes to the park once a day, and goes on walks. I feed morning and night for my pets. My cat gets playing time during the day and daily litter box cleaning!

Wow! Emily is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time. I booked her for a long visit, and was so nervous to be away from my cat. But Emily gave me reassurances by sending me photos and updates on my cats behavior. It’s a really good sign that my shy but loving kitty warmed up to her so quickly, and was even waiting for her by the window on their last visit! Emily also took care of my plants, which was so essential too. I would 10/10 hire her for your pet sitting needs, I will surely be doing the same next time I need a sitter ❤️

Sommer was great and I’ll definitely be booking with her again for future needs. From the initial meet-and-greet to the daily check-ins and pictures, she really knows how to put you at ease knowing your pups are in good hands. I have a senior dog (maltipoo) who needs to be carried up and down the stairs, as well as a younger dog (pit/lab mix) who can be a handful and she gave both of them the attention and care they needed. She also administered daily medication and was always thorough, communicative and reliable throughout the week. Thank you so much, Sommer!
