“Jie H was fantastic with our two Labradoodles. She is mature, responsible and really understood my dogs needs. Jie did everything asked of her for the dogs. My dogs loved her. When we arrived home, our dogs ran to greet us, but then went right back to Jie to play and be petted. I highly recommended her. I will definitely use her services again.”


“Cj is wonderful. He is kind, professional, responsible and thorough. We couldn’t be more grateful. Cj took care of our elderly Simon and our house for three days. He sent updated photos of himself during walks and meals, which gave us peace of mind. We definitely recommend Cj to anyone who wants their pets to be in the best hands. We are planning our next trips to call Cj again. 😃”



“Kate was lovely and Pancake clearly had a great time and was very relaxed with her. Senior dogs can be challenging in their own way but Pancake was in good hands! She picked up this booking last minute as we had a change of plans and was easy to communicate with to coordinate as well as sending cute updates. Sorry about our kitchen sink misbehaving. 😩”


“Kimberly is great- Emmy loves her! She makes traveling so much easier, and she takes adorable photos of Emmy with the zoomies, playing hide-and-seek, and curled up looking cozy. Couldn't be happier!”


“Elissa was amazing! Stella was happy and well cared for when I got home! Elissa carefully followed all of my instructions for Stella and the house! She communicated with me and sent pictures daily. I do not trust many people to take care of Stella, but with Elissa caring for her my mind was at ease! I will absolutely have Elissa care for Stella again!”


“Amara is the best. When I returned from a weekend awa, my puppy, Loki, was relaxed and happy. Amara listened carefully to all of my instructions, and followed them all. When she had a question about them, she texted me. She also sent lots of photos. Could not have asked for more! I will book again! I would give 20 stars if I could. Ann”


“Sage is my retired Service Dog and has not left my side for 5.5 years. I have been terrified of being apart. However the opportunity arose to have a night away. I found Ghazaal who put me at ease. Just before leaving, I got sick Ghazaal rearranged her calendar to help both Sage and myself out. Couldn't recommend anyone else who is more caring, respectful, and reliable.”


“Jeannette was great. Kept me informed when she got Jake in at night. She even came early the day I departed and stayed late the day I was returning to let Jake out and get Jake in. Everything was perfect when I came home.”


“I knew she would be great when she came to our house for a "meet and greet", brought a cat toy and immediately started playing with our two babies. I was not wrong - they were wlel cared for, well fed and most importantly, well loved.”


About: Hi, nice to meet you! 👋🏻 I'm Kris. I've been taking care of pets since I was a tot! I grew up in a house with lots of pets: 4 cats, 2 dogs, 1 iguana, 1 bearded dragon, countless fish, frogs, a few hermit crabs, ants (in a terrarium!), and sometimes mice. In addition, I often looked after my neighbors' pets when they were out of town throughout my elementary and high school years. Following college, I had my own kitty, Obi Wan, who got all my loving. Thank you for taking the time to consider me, and all the best as you look for the best fit for your sit. I'm a freelance, fully remote UX designer (app designer) who loves to travel, so I'm about as flexible a sitter as they come. I fit my life around you and your pet’s needs while I sit. When I’m sitting for you, I work around you and your pet’s needs and schedule. You let me know what works for you and what your pup or cat prefer! Meals at a specific time? No problem. Meds three times a day? You got it. 45 minutes of one-on-one play? Oh, I’ll tucker them out. I love mixing things up, so you let me know what works best for you.


“Zoe is exactly the kind of dogsitter we've been looking for! She was responsive, reliable, and most importantly, she was attentive to our dog. He warmed up to her right away and she was cuddling with him within minutes of arriving. We are happy to have found her and definitely intend to work with her again in the future.”


“We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for Chestnut, especially during such a challenging time as her first heat cycle. Lisa & Ray are patient and caring, making sure Chestnut was comfortable and well taken care of. Lisa & Ray went above and beyond by following all the detailed care instructions we provided. They managed diaper changes and clean-ups. The communication was excellent—they kept us updated with photos, videos, and notes, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.”


“Thank you for taking such good care of our baby! All the mindfulness aboit providing medication and communication was so appreciated. And going above and beyond to help when we got stuck up north was so kind. Thank you !!!”


“Svitlana did great with our two dogs (french bulldogs). One being a puppy. They absolutely adored her. She sent pictures during the visit and was very kind. Would gladly have her sit our dogs again.”



About: A large grassy area in front of the house on a cul de sad, several dog beds, dog-friendly neighborhood walks,...ideal for a fun pet overnight stay. I do not currently have my own dog but sometimes may take 2 dogs at one time. I study massage and dog psychology. Dogs who love touch or massages will get plenty of attention. It is a house with a yard, not an apartment. The yard is not completely fenced, so I use a leash 100% of the time until I know the dog very well, since there are sometimes birds and squirrels making appearances. Dogs spend a lot of time outside with me, weather permitting. Your dog will not spend time outside alone because it's just more fun to be together. About this sitter: I raised two Scottish Terrier litter-mates from puppy-hood and have cared for dogs and cats in their homes, dogs in my home for months at a time, and I enjoy walking dogs. I am soft-spoken and very patient. Shy, or sensitive/scared pets often feel comfortable around me pretty quickly. Pets should have joy in their lives so I enjoy giving them extra attention to help alleviate some of the stress when their owners are away. For overnight care at a clients' home, I like to stay as light and self-contained as possible. I'm in this for the love of pets and like to leave as little a footprint as possible! Experience includes: dog owner, cat owner, dog sitting for over 15 different dogs and 4 different cats (up to 6 dogs simultaneously or combo of 2 dogs/2 cats who were housemates). Why I love dog sitting: I made my first dog friend when I was 6 years old. Lalli was a seeing-eye school drop out and the sweetest dog I'd ever met. My aunt already had 2 cats that I loved by that point. I ended up helping a senior dog get past her separation anxiety and she and her folks gained more freedom. About my yard: Large grassy area in front of the house. Dog park nearby with well behaved friendly neighborhood dog regulars. My experience administering oral medication: I have done it and I will do it if a pet is not a biter or scratcher. I cared for 2 dogs during their hospice. I am open to doing that, at least to help provide respite for the primary caretakers. I am free to spend time with your dogs and/or house sit anytime except Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8am to 7pm. Dogs that stay overnight with me will have a day sitter and dog company during the day. I am willing to accept stays longer than one week but we must discuss first to see if my system works for your animals. I live in a very walkable neighborhood with a park nearby and a large grassy area. I have an afternoon sunning deck, and plan potty breaks every 2-3 hours. Mini-massages and indoor play breaks are available throughout the day between dog naps.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I'm the experienced and reliable sitter you've been looking for. I grew up helping manage my family's five-dog household, so I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether it's an energetic walk, bath time, or just lots of cuddles and attention, I've got it covered. I treat every dog like they're my own and can't wait to meet yours! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily life. I'm currently preparing to go back to school for my Master's degree, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the day. While I dedicate my mornings to studying and working on applications, I am fully available for your pet anytime after 10 am. This allows me to be a constant companion for walks and activity. My study breaks are your pet's play breaks, ensuring they get plenty of one-on-one attention! Your pet will receive dedicated, one-on-one attention in my care. While I prepare for my Master's degree from home, my flexible schedule is devoted entirely to your furry friend, as they will be the only pet in my apartment. My home is thoroughly pet-proofed for safety, and we'll enjoy secure playtime at the fenced dog park on-site or longer walks to the park nearby. I'll send plenty of photo updates so you can relax, knowing your best friend is happy and in great hands.

“Robyn was on time, sent so many great updates and pictures of my fur babies and followed all of my overly baring helicopter mom instructions. She is fun and professional and I will continue to book her to take care of the pups!”

Jennifer F.
“Jennifer is truly a gem. She has come through for me on many occasions when I needed a last minute dog-sitter and whenever I pick up my dog afterwards he always seems to have had at least as much fun as I did on my trip. When Ozzie stays with Jen, he always gets tons of attention. They go on long walks, trips to the dog park and sometimes even the beach (with prior permission from me, of course). In short Jen treats my pup with as much love and attention as if he were her own. I cannot recommend her highly enough. [My name is Ozzie and I approve this message. woof woof!]”


Jacklyn H.
“Jacklyn is an absolutely wonderful and trustworthy pet caregiver. Her lifelong experience, having grown up with many dogs, truly shows in her confident and loving approach. She was incredibly responsible, attentive, and treated our dog like one of her own. We felt so comfortable leaving our furry friend in her care and highly recommend her to anyone!”


Amy G.

“Amy was great with Koda and Sam. It was lovely to see and hear how they bonded, and I feel much better knowing they had someone to care for them so well!”


Robyn C.

“Robyn was on time, sent so many great updates and pictures of my fur babies and followed all of my overly baring helicopter mom instructions. She is fun and professional and I will continue to book her to take care of the pups!”
