“Jordan is an angel. We hire Jordan any time we need a sitter. She takes such great care of our special needs kitty. Extremely reliable, attentive, and caring. And communication is fantastic. Thank you again Jordan!”

“Kayla took excellent care of our kitty while we were away for a week. I know he appreciated seeing another human everyday and Kayla sent pictures of him playing and hanging out with her. It was great to know he was well taken care of! We wouldn’t hesitate to use Kayla again in the future!”

“Morgan exemplified the caring and comfortable petsitter for whom we look when needing to leave our cats for a weekend. She was prompt and professional in her responses and setting up a meet-and-greet. Morgan quickly learned what she needed to do to care for our cats despite the fact that both have a somewhat high-maintenance feeding routine. By keeping us updated with pictures and check-ins, we felt comfortable and relieved to know that Morgan was caring for our cats and we'd highly recommend her to anyone seeking a cat sitter.”

“Sarina was very sweet to our dog and we felt totally comfortable leaving him in such good hands. Lots of pics and info on his walks and hanging out with him. Highly recommended.”
“Chelsea is awesome! We have a GSP puppy who can be a bit needy and difficult and Chelsea was accommodating and reliable. I know our pup is in good hands with her and we will definitely continue to work with her in the future.”


“As always Lila gave Winnie loving care, and was extraordinarily on her game, researching the care for dogs preparing to undergo Luxating patella surgery. Dogs and their peeps love Lila!”

“Curtis took awesome care of my pup. I’m so grateful he was around to give Haku a little extra love during our work on separation anxiety/me being away for long periods. Curtis is kind and was really gentle with Haku who can bark/be a little scared meeting new humans. Looking forward to working with him again- thanks Curtis 👍🏻”

“Jeff was amazing with our two large pups! Coordinated a meetup beforehand and was flexible with what we needed. Very communicative and friendly, you can tell he’s a true dog lover. Would recommend him to anyone & will use him again in the future (:”

“Anna did a great job! She came by prior to our vacation to get a run down and was very attentive. I appreciated her thorough run downs on the daily check ups, and the photos. She was very consistent, and easy to communicate with. Thank you!”

About: Hello! I’ve been taking care of pups one way or another for about the last 12 years. I used to dog sit a lot back in high school, and now that I have more free time I’d love to get back into it. We have our own 2 dogs that we are very diligent with regarding food and walking schedule. Very patient, extremely loving and the best part we keep lots of toys around! I currently work full time, around 35 hours a week and 6-7 hours a day. I follow a strict daily routine with my own 2 dogs so ideally your dog would also be okay with being alone from approximately 8am-3:30pm Monday-Friday given my current work schedule. Saturday and Sunday will be dedicated to hanging with pups! I live in a townhome with no fenced yard. I understand this may be a deal breaker for some people but let me reassure you! My dogs are crate trained while no one is home and ideally yours would be as well. However this is not mandatory! Dogs are fed around 5-6am and briefly walked shortly after every morning before going to their crate. As soon as I get home, dogs go for a 20-30 minute walk. Our dogs eat dinner in halves. First half around 4/4:30 and the second half around 5/5:30. We have found this works best for our dogs to digest their food! Dogs are allowed on our couch and they are allowed to sleep wherever we are during the nighttime! Rest assured this actually benefits in monitoring bathroom habits and keeping a closer eye on your pup!
“Dan is a great sitter. He was punctual, thorough and very informative while posting pics and texting updates while we were gone. We're going to book Dan again this summer. Thanks, Dan!”

“Hanna did an amazing job checking in on my dog and cat with my last minute check-in request. Followed my instructions to a T and left the house in great shape. They also went above and beyond, taking care of our foster dog esp. with some complicated health stuff/instructions. Great communication. Will rebook again in the future.”

About: I trained my dog, Brady, to be off-leash and a great friend. I can help puppies with simple training while on leash or assist your older dogs with patient sniff walks. I work full time from home, but want to help neighbors who cannot always be home. I am available to assist in the afternoon before you come home from work or later in the evening if you decide to have dinner later than expected. I am respectful of your rules and will always be on time. Your pets needs are my concern. I take the time to get to know each dog’s unique personality and pace, making sure they feel safe, seen, and relaxed on every walk. With gentle handling, consistent routines, and plenty of praise, I build trust through calm energy and attentive care, just like you would.
“Emma is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She was totally reliable, sent me great updates (including about how much my picky eater ate at each meal), sent loads of pictures every day, and most importantly took perfect care of my dogs. I couldn't dream of a better pet sitter! Hire Emma and put your mind at ease!”

About: I’ve owned 3 dogs over my life time and my parents just now adopted a 4th one I will be taking care of part time. Two of the boys passed at the same ages of 13 and Pete is now 11 doing great. Reggie is 15 weeks old and is the best boy in the world. I am free every day right now as I’m off from school for the semester. I can wrap my schedule around your and your pups needs. Morning, noon, or night I can be there. When it comes to taking care of other people’s dogs, I treat them as if they are my own. I make sure they are taken care of in any way I need to or feel needs to be done.
“Rachael is amazing- she is prompt, courteous, communicative, knoweldgable and so sweet with our 11 week old Chocolate Lab. She has taken wonderful care of her, helped her adjust to her crate with lots of extra help that she went out of her way to do. We trust her in our home and would 100% recommend and will use her again. Thank you so much, Rachael :) - Charlie & The Gibbs”

“I am so thankful to Maggie for watching our sweetish Monkey kitty while we were out of town. She was kind, attentive and conscientious with all of the instructions and requests, going above and beyond. We came home to a very clean litter box, which Monkey does not make easy. Would highly recommend her to watch your pets, too!!”

This is the 2nd time I have used Emily to watch my guys while I have been away for an extended period of time and just like the first it was great. My guys were very happy and comfortable with her, which means a lot to me. She sent a TON of pictures and videos while I was away of them which really was appreciated so I could see how they were doing. She is my first choice for pet sitting when I need it.
Danielle was great with Rumi! She was very responsive and spent quality time during our meet and greet, which I really appreciated. Rumi is a senior dog, and Danielle was very caring and attentive to his needs. She was also flexible with timing, which made everything easy. I felt very comfortable having her care for Rumi and would absolutely book with her again.

Christina is the best Petsitter ever! She has an incredible love of animals and it shows in how quickly they bond with her, and how reluctant they are to say bye. She is well-versed in dog training and has been helping us with puppy breaks and training while we’re at work. Truly talented, reliable, communicative, and a joy to have as a Petsitter and pet advisor to us.
