“Claudia was amazing!! Truman and Stella were well taken care of and have a wonderful time with Claudia. She was so thoughtful and sent lots of pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her for your furry family members and would use her again for ours.”


“Gabrielle was awesome! My 2 huskies absolutely love her. She was punctual, reliable and friendly. She sent me updates with pictures which I really appreciated. It was great to see happiness on their faces. She made me feel very comfortable being away from my dogs. I would absolutely book her again!”

“Brianna was fantastic! She came over for a meet and greet and stayed for a while getting to know us and our 2 girls. She had a notebook with great questions and wrote down our response. She kept in contact while we were gone sending pics and updates. We will definitely use her again next time if she is available.”


“Kaylee is a cat whisperer! My cat is afraid of everyone but me (and now Kaylee!) She took to her immediately, following her around, asking for pats, and even slept with her! Kaylee did just as good of a job with my 12 yo Aussie, taking him for walks several times a day and showing him great care. I would highly recommend Kaylee and have already asked for her to come back to sit my pets again!”


“Anna was so great with my dogs! She communicated so well which helped us enjoy our vacation away from our dogs. They were taken care of so well with multiple walks, treats and attention!”


“Aury was super with our dogs - we have one that is very nervous and still new to our apartment and she was able to immediately win him over. She kept us informed during the whole time we were out and we couldn’t have been happier with her!”

“Austin took great care of our dog and cat while we were away. He sent us regular updates and photos, which eased our nerves about our anxious dog (who took to him immediately).”


“Krissy is amazing! She took great care of our dog and left our house spotless! She communicated well and is so sweet! Will definitely be using Krissy again in the future!!”


About: I've worked for a dog walking company, wrangled ferrets, and outsmarted wily cats. With nearly a decade of pet sitting experience I'm ready for just about anything your furry friend can throw at me. I'm adept at problem solving and can meet your pet where they need me to be. I have experience administering medication and coaxing the anxious and stubborn out of their shells. I am free most days in the morning and the afternoon if you need a walker quickly. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to work with clients to meet their needs. I will follow any instructions clients give for how much freedom they want their pets to have. I usually like to keep them in sight or in an enclosed area like a fenced in yard when not out on a walk. I like playing and keeping them entertained or sitting quietly together if they're tired. It mostly depends on the energy levels and temperament of each individual.

“Nicole has been a consistent friend to our dogs and has been a joy to have as a sitter. She communicates throughly while pet sitting and in preparation for her visits. We are happy to have her over and of course the dogs love her.”


“Joseph was great with our dogs, they were in a great mood when we got home! Good communicator and house sitter. He’s stayed with our dogs twice now and we will definitely book him again!”


About: I worked at Petco while in college. I have been around animals my whole life. I have experience other cat and dog sitting. I currently have two cats of my own and love them dearly. I will treat and care for your pets just like my Own! I am also a teacher and am very responsible and respectful of your home. I am currently on summer break so I have a lot of time for you and your pets! During the school year I am available nights, weekends, and holiday breaks. I prefer to be at your home, as I am currently living with my parents and my two cats. I want to respect their space. I am very clean, organized, and respectful of others spaces.

“Yuliia was terrific with our very quirky, anxious rescue dog and with our sweet, easy dog. She was patient with the anxious guy and didn't give up on becoming his friend. We'd definitely recommend her!”


About: I have owned dogs sense I was I’d say 6, once I turned 10 I started offering family and friends to watch their animals, which included feeding, playing with, walking, bathing, grooming. I am currently not working, I am currently enrolled in online classes to become a horse trainer, so I am open pretty much always sense all my classes are set paced I don’t offer in home services but I do have a dog of my own you can request that I bring him over to play, he is house trained, but is afraid of big dogs so small dog owners only! I worked for a dog day care company so I have a wide variety of experience with dogs all ages and sizes, as well as basic training in dog first aid.
