“Kirra was incredible and sweet! Her communication and pictures for each drop in were so detailed. She really truly puts all of her care and effort in. She is very trustworthy and made my time away from my pup so easy. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER.”

“Kevin was prompt and friendly and took fantastic care of my pup with very short notice. He even provided pictures and videos. Loved it. Will definitely call upon him for all of my check in and walking needs. Thanks Kevin!”

“This is the second time I have had Rachel watch my kitty. This time I was out of town for much longer than the previous time. Having to leave my baby always makes me nervous and he gets very depressed when I’m not home. Rachel goes above and beyond to get him feeling comfortable and loved while I have to be away. I can’t thank her enough for making my absence so stress free! Dori can’t wait for her next visit!”

“Virginie was a lifesaver, accommodating our booking over the Thanksgiving holiday. She took excellent care of our kitties and ensured our tortoise stayed undisturbed in its slumber. Highly recommend her attentive and thoughtful pet care!”

“Edgardo has been excellent for the past three drop-in visits. Updates with pictures and follows instruction for the visits. I highly recommend Edgardo for any of your pet needs!!”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have helped care for pets belonging to friends and family. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs — whether that’s going on walks, playing fetch, or just giving them company and attention while you’re away. Pet parents can count on me to follow instructions carefully, keep their pets safe and happy, and communicate regularly with updates and photos. I may be new to this, but I take the trust you place in me seriously and will treat your pet like family. I’m excited to meet your furry friend! I work from home, which means your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day! With a flexible schedule, I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, feedings, and plenty of company. I’m happy to provide consistent care and companionship on weekdays, weekends, or whenever you need. I take safety seriously and always aim to create a calm, pet-friendly environment. Your dog’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, whether they’re with me or in their own home. I’m happy to follow any routines—crate training, feeding, or medication schedules—to make sure everything feels familiar and stress-free for them.

About: Hi, I’m Leanne! I’m a mature, reliable sitter who truly loves spending time with animals—long walks, playtime, belly rubs, and cozy cuddles are all in a day’s work. I’ve got experience with extended stays, senior pets, special routines, and homes with multiple furry personalities. I have a senior dog of my own and recently rescued a spunky little kitten—so I’ve got love (and treats) for both pups and kitties! Whether it’s meds, snuggles, or just keeping their routine steady, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings and I’m off by 2 p.m., so my afternoons, evenings, and weekends are dedicated to pet care. Whether it’s walks, visits, or quality time, I have the flexibility to give your pets the attention they need. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine—and I genuinely love spending time with animals! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m respectful of your home and follow all instructions carefully—from feeding routines to medication and security details. I keep a calm, watchful presence and make sure doors, gates, and routines are double-checked every time. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit or staying overnight, you can trust that your pet (and your home) are in reliable, caring hands.
About: I currently have a dog of my own, a 9 year beagle mix named Wilson! As he’s aged he doesn’t like long walks as much, so I’m eager to get to walk other’s dogs as well! Growing up I was always the neighborhood go-to for dogs and cats alike. I have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies, and can train them if need be. I'm available for dog walking on weekends and in the afternoons/evenings. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving to care for your dog. Whether we're heading out for a leisurely stroll or a high-energy outing, I'm all about making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. I like to slowly introduce Wilson to other animals, but once he has a chance to sniff around and (probably) beagle howl, he’s playful and willing to hang with anyone.
“I was so pleased to receive pictures and updates during my week away. i could see that Belle was in good hands. Actually Kourtney went above and beyond. She saw that Belle was eating tropical plant that was in a pot low to the floor. She looked it up and saw that it was harmful to cats and moved it to a place where she couldn’t get to it. I wasn’t even aware of the harmful affects. I am grateful Kourtney made the extra effort. Can’t say enough… Thank you Kourtney!”

“Andrea was great taking care of my cat while out of town and even came over in advance to meet him and take a look at where everything would be! Thank you Andrea!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. Our dogs were always a member of our family and the love I developed for dogs only grew over the years. Dogs are really angels on earth and I cannot imagine my life without them. Once my husband Matt and I started living together we decided we needed to care for our own doggo and we adopted Isabella as a puppy. I’ve always dreamed to have a golden retriever, because I love their energy and happiness. Isabella is 6 years old and she is truly our baby daughter. While we are not ready to have another dog yet, we love watching our friend’s pets when they go on vacation or need to travel. So we decided to make our passion for dogs a formal gig and provide our fellow dog parents a piece of mind when they need to leave their fur babies for a few days. We are accommodating of your needs as we understand how difficult it is to have to trust other people to take care of our babies. My husband and I both work full time from home so there will be one of us around pretty much all the time. We are both home on the weekends. When we go outdoors we love taking Isabella with us so we would take your dog as well if you allow. We live in a townhome and your dog would be free to be around the house as they please. We can take them for potty breaks as often as needed. We love going on walks with Isabella and we would be happy to take your doggo with us. We also love going to the dog beach and dog park (and we are happy to follow your instructions to keep them safe and sound!) While we don’t have a yard, there is a dog area right next to our house. We also have a dog park in our complex.
About: I've always grown up with pets from birds, to cats, to dogs. I am experienced with feeding, cleaning, walks, play and of course treats! My boyfriend and I currently have an 11yr old mixed terrier who is not slowing down, so very experienced with a lot of attentive love :) I have also crate trained as well as simple commands to sit, stand up, stay and trained to be on a feeding schedule. I work a full time job, but I am available most days after 4pm and available most weekends with enough notice. I am open to staying in your home if needed! We currently care for our dog with a lot of love, attention and play. I have personally crate trained her, and taught simple commands such as sit, stay, and trained her to be on a consistent feeding schedule. I will always follow whatever routine you have set for your fur babies and of course treat them with a lot of love and care!
About: Growing up with many different types of animals, I have ample experience with dogs & cats! I have built up quite the local cliental that relies on me to take care of their animals (and house) like I would if they are my own! We love to walk, hike and spend as much time outdoors during the weekend! Kobe is an active dog so we bring him to the park daily to run. I have a large grassy park outside my front door + a house with plenty of room! Very quiet and relaxing during the work day. If I’m staying at a clients home, I try to adapt to your pets Daily routine as close as possible! No change is good change when it comes to keeping our pets happy.

“I have known Tyler for many years. Yes of course he is reliable, trustworthy, prompt, hard working and all the things you want when you hire a worker. But more than that, when you entrust your dog - a member of your family - to the care of someone you don't know, you want to make sure you have chosen the right person. Well that person is Tyler. He is what you would call a dog whisperer. He just has a way with dogs. He loves them and they love him! He has 3 of his own that he cares for every day including walking, washing, cleaning up after, playing with them and giving them lots and lots of love!! He keeps them safe and happy and he will do that for your dogs too!!”

Danielle R.
“Danielle is a wonderful and inspirational woman. I would absolutely trust her to watch my son Mongo as she is so clearly dedicated to her own dog. I would certainly recommend her as a walker/sitter!”
Leanne W.
“I am honored to write this letter of recommendation for Ms. Leanne Walert, who I have had the privilege of knowing for over a decade. During this time, I have seen firsthand her deep compassion for animals, her unwavering sense of responsibility, and her exceptional trustworthiness—qualities that make her an outstanding choice for any dog walking or pet sitting opportunity. Over the years, I’ve entrusted Leanne with the care of my own pets and have always returned to find them happy, healthy, and content. She is meticulous in following instructions, attentive to behavioral or health changes, and communicative about anything that needs attention. Knowing Leanne was caring for my animals gave me true peace of mind—something incredibly valuable and rare. Just as importantly, Leanne is someone of impeccable character. She is reliable, honest, and thoughtful—traits that extend beyond her work with animals into every aspect of her life. Anyone who welcomes her into their home or entrusts her with their beloved pets will quickly recognize her professionalism and integrity. In short, I give Leanne my highest recommendation for dog walking and pet sitting. Her heart is in the right place, and so are her skills. She will care for your pets as if they were her own. Thank you, Rose Constancio”
Amelia M.
“Amelia can walk my dog ANYDAY!!! Her timeliness, clear communication, and obvious love for animals makes me feel so comfortable anytime I need to leave my dog home and hire her. If Amelia is there, I know my dog is getting all the love that I would be giving. I will change my plans to ensure she will be the one walking my dog. She is genuinely a pleasure to work with, and I have no hesitancy leaving my pup in her hands. 10/10 petsitter.”

“Jeovanna is an exceptional dog walker—reliable, caring, and truly attentive to every detail. From the very first walk, she made a genuine connection with my dog, showing patience, warmth, and professionalism. She always arrives on time, gives great updates (including the cutest photos!), and clearly treats every pup she walks with love and respect. My dog is noticeably happier and more relaxed on days Jeovanna visits. I couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with my pet. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for peace of mind and a great dog walker!”

Taynara is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. Every dog loves her right away because they recognize that she loves them. It's not just a business to her, it's her passion too. In addition, her knowledge regarding all aspects of canine care is extensive and helpful. I really recommend Tay as a dog sitter and I'm sure you can't find a better person to take care of your beloved pet.”
Marisol F.
“Marisol has always been the kind of person animals gravitate toward. She’s so loving and patient, and it shows in the way she cares for her pup, zoey. I’ve seen firsthand how much joy and comfort she brings to the pets in her care. Any pet would be lucky to have her!”
Cassandra N.
“Cassandra watched my house and 3 dogs while I was out of town. The amount of anxiety she alleviated from my shoulders was immense. She was not only helpful but thoughtful (as if she was taking care of her own animals). I recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and hard worker!”
