“Ilana was great! She went above and beyond to make sure the dogs were taken care of, walked twice a day (early morning and later evenings due to the heat), and sent so many updates! We had her stay at our house while we were out of town and the house was tidy upon us coming home, with no issues. Ilana was very respectful and kind! Thank you!”


“CK was great with our two adorable, but anxious pups while we were away. He took lots of pictures and sent us updates. Would highly recommend and would book again!”



“Natalie was fabulous! Asked great clarifying questions, took lovely care of my babies, and was a pleasure to just chat with. I highly recommend Natalie and will be using her services again!”

“We loved having Brooke over to watch our Junie, you can tell they were good friends right away. We appreciated the photos and updates throughout the day and we came home to a happy and well cared for pup. Would recommend Brooke and we definitely hope to book with them again in the future!”


“Mariah was wonderful! She came early to give us extra time to go over everything with the dogs. She also sent us pictures of the pups as a check in half way through! 10/10 would recommend 😊”


“There are not enough words to explain how amazing and truly incredible Heather is!!! We have 4 dogs with 4 different personalities and needs. It was instant love for her by them! It would be your dogs loss if you don’t use her services! She’s an amazing person and true dog lover!”


About: Because I’m in medical school I have a unique perspective on pet care in the sense that I am calm, thorough, and empathetic! I also have a dog of my own with medical needs so I am equipped to care for any pet. I’ve had large dogs, small, dogs, cats, and fish all my life and I would love to help care for your pets too:) I’m currently in medical school so my schedule varies during the weekdays (which I will frequently update) but I can come swing by to take on walks, check-ins, or house-sit. I have most weekends free as well. I am experienced in caring for food aggressive pets, dog-aggressive pets, as well as medically needy pets. I can take large dogs 100+ lbs on leashed walks as well as play in yards with them. I love animals and I know how to keep everyone safe and happy:)

“Maddi was amazing! She sent plenty of photos and was very communicative. She was extremely flexible and accommodating as I had to add an extra day on to the original stay, and I am so grateful for all of her help. When I came home, my pets were all super happy and in great moods!!”


“Sent pictures, followed instructions, my animals and my house have little particulars that she listened to well, too! My house was clean, animals were well taken care of and happy when I got back ❤️ Would recommend Cayla and will use again! Thanks again.”


“David was awesome! Very communicative and took awesome care of our big dog for a week. He left the house cleaner than it was when we left. We will definitely love to have him take care of our dog again. Peace of mind knowing your dog is well cared for on vacation is amazing!!”


“Maura was great- very communicative and sent lots of photos of my dog, Bentley which I appreciated it! I look forward to working with Maura more in the future!”


“Traisaun was a great dog sitter and Kaya had an absolute great time with him. We could tell she was so relaxed and really enjoyed her time! The house was left in great shape too. We would love to hire him again given the chance!”


“She is amazing!!! She took care of our cat and dog and also was an amazing house guest, left everything clean and tidy and overall it was a wonderful experience. I will be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone!”


About: I am an experienced cat professional who exclusively cares for cats! Here's what sets me apart and what you can expect when you book me: I prioritize reliable communication! You'll receive daily updates with photos and videos showing your cat playing, relaxing, and thriving. I carefully observe and report any changes in appetite, behavior, litter box habits, etc to keep you fully informed. I speak fluent "cat”! I understand feline body language and tail communication. Having trained my own cat to do tricks for years (ask for a video!), I'm tuned into what motivates cats and gives them purpose. I personalize care for your cat! Before our first visit, I'll ask questions about your cat's unique personality, preferences, and quirks, as well as your specific approach to feeding, litter, and other routines. I offer specialized services! Beyond standard care, I can brush teeth and groom coats based on your cat's comfort level. For food-motivated cats on scheduled feeding without extra food available to them, I can introduce clicker training and tricks to add mental stimulation. I keep your cat active and engaged! To me, play is essential for feline health! I bring a variety of toys and dedicate real time to interactive play. Your cat will get genuine attention, not just a quick check-in. With a flexible work schedule, I'm available 7 days a week—including weekdays, weekends, and holidays—and can accommodate multiple daily visits or last-minute bookings. My adaptable schedule means I can provide consistent care whenever you need it, whether for regular visits, extended trips, or unexpected emergencies. I maintain a clean, safe environment by thoroughly checking feeding areas, scooping litter boxes, and refreshing water while actively engaging your cat with enrichment toys and play. I'm trained in specialized care like teeth brushing and grooming (which I do routinely for my own cat), and I carefully monitor and document your cat's behavior, appetite, and habits to keep you fully informed.

About: I was born into a family with a dog and have had a dog in my life ever since! Now I have a 7 year old pittie mix who is my whole world. I trained her and continue to do so to help her acquire new skills or just for mental stimulation. While I was a late-in-life cat lover, I now have 2 cats of my own who i cant imagine life without. Over the years I’ve had many friends, family, and coworkers trust me with their fur babies whether it was for a single walk, a feeding and play time, or stay overs while they were gone. I even have experience administering medicine to special needs animals. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your needs. Usually I am free in the mornings and afternoons. Evenings are tougher for me, but we can make something work! I will always want to do a meet and greet before caring for your animal whether I’m providing a walk or a staying with your fur baby over night. I want to make sure I’m the best fit and that you feel comfortable with your pet in my hands. I will defer to you in terms of safety and care (beyond the basics) as you know your pet best. As I get to know your pet, I’ll understand their preferences and triggers which will allow me to provide them with the best care.

About: I've cared for various kinds of pets over my whole life and at one point was able to become an AKC trained dog trainer! I've since changed jobs to a patient sitter at a nearby hospital and miss the new animals being in my life. I'd love to get a chance to meet your pets and help care for them! I work 3 inconsistent days from either 630am-pm or 630pm-am throughout the week but can make changes as needed to work up to 3 days a week for a client outside of that! I feel that all pets have a wide range of personalities and needs but the important thing is to work with them to achieve their physical and emotional needs! I have 2 cats with vastly different attitudes and I make sure to tailor my care for them in specific ways like being a safety person for my cat while she's eating or training my partners cat to ask for attention and treats more politely. When it comes to dogs I have a training in positive reinforcement and dog behaviors and will try to engage with breed specific enrichment on top of whatever schedule the pet parents have for their dog.

“Cindy took care of our two cats when we traveled and she was amazing! From the first moment, I felt like she’s a great fit to take care of Oliver and Louie. Both of them loved her immediately! Cindy made sure to ask all the important questions on our meet and greet and payed attention to detail. Knowing our cats would be in great hands made our trip so much more enjoyable. Besides fulfilling their basic needs, she went above and beyond, by spending extra time with them, playing with them, cleaning up after them, teaching them a new trick, and even spoon-feeding our picky eater Louie. We were able to reach out anytime and always got a fast response. We reveived pictures and reports of her visit each time. I highly recommend Cindy, your cats will be in great hands!”
