“Margaret was perfect. She was very accommodating, easy to work with etc. It appears that our two cats liked her a lot and I think she liked them also. She sent several cute photos. She left the house very neat and clean. We were very lucky to find her on relatively short notice. We will certainly hire her again if our needs and her availability coincide in the future.”
“Morgan is GREAT!!! My dog Lena is old, uses pads...usually (I mean, it can be a timing thing)...and uses them often. Morgan was so kind to her - changing the pads lots, trying different foods out when she was picky..and letting me relax while away as I could see Lena was with someone kind. I'll totally use her again and for longer trips! :-) I definitely recommend her. She left everything super clean and organized by the way (BONUS!!). YAY MORGAN!!!”
“Lovely to work with! She took great care of our cat while we were on vacation for a week. She played with her a lot and was really attentive to the instructions we had left around feeding and other things. She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures. She also left our house super clean and was overall very considerate.”
“Sue was wonderful. Our dogs took minimal time being comfortable with her, where they normally take 15-30 min to warm up to people. When we returned home the dogs were happy and Sue left the house spotless. Thank you so much for a great experience, Sue!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals my whole life. I raised my own dog from puppy to 15 year old senior citizen and have been taking care of my friend’s and family’s dogs and cats for years. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk or a trail run, or your cat needs company while you’re away, I bring the same care and attentiveness to pet care that I bring to the hospital. I understand how important your pets are to your family, and I’m here to treat them like my own. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following special diets, and maintaining a calm presence with shy or anxious pets. I currently have a flexible academic schedule and I work hard to fit in pet care throughout the day. I am almost always available first thing in the morning and in the afternoons/evenings and my mid-day availability varies by academic term From walks to house-sits, I follow the simple tenants of 1)“treat every animal as if they were my own” and 2) “treat everyone’s homes with the utmost respect”. Pet owners know best what their animals need so my top goal is providing whatever care that may be, safely, and in the environment that best suits each pet and owner.
“Mark was wonderful and very responsive. He kept me updated with any issues and was kind and caring towards my dog. I can’t say enough good things about the care he took with Boomer. I am thankful that he was able to watch Boomer and have already booked him again!”
About: Being a long time animal lover, I love spending my time walking and training dogs. I’ve worked at various animal hospitals, doggy daycares, and boarding facilities. I am willing to travel, and it would be a great perk if my 3 year old lab could come play or walk with your pup as well! My schedule is very flexible. I am willing to travel, and am open to schedule changes to work with your needs as well. I can do holidays as well as weekends with a planned notice. All I want is for your pet to feel comfortable and have a great time playing and/or going for a walk. Engaging shy/fearful dogs with toys and treats is always a great way to earn trust.
“Anesa is great. She and Dexter got along famously. We appreciate that she took him on a hike and on playdates with other dogs over the weekend. She also gave us periodic photo updates which were greatly appreciated. We'll definitely rebook the next time we need a sitter!”
“Charlotte provided super care to Chance and SnickerDoo including consistent communications and pictures for us. She also left our home clean and secure following our time away. Well Done!”
About: My mother is a veterinarian with her own practice, so I grew up around an abundance of animals and know plenty about caring for them. My career allows me to choose my own schedule, I don't usually have shifts longer than 5/6 hours long. This allows me to take dogs out for walks or to a dog park, or I can just go home and hang out with my cat. I have a large fenced in yard with access to woods, plenty of local trails for dog walks, local lake of your dog likes to swim. Dogs and cats in my home, but there's a good sized guest bedroom that is kept closed of from the rest of my home if you have a pet that is less friendly with others.
“James is an awesome dog and house sitter! He took the dogs on great walks and sent us some adorable pictures while we were away. We came home to two happy, calm pups and a clean, orderly house. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a current medical student in the area who has had dogs around her for her entire life. I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs of all breeds. I am responsible and quick in an emergency. I am also familiar with lots of walking trails in the area! I am a 4th year medical student with a pretty open schedule. Reach out with any inquiries and I will try to accommodate your needs! For pet sitting, I am available to stay at your home to keep your pet company as well as take them outside as often as needed. I am respectful, responsible, and professional in all spaces.
“Kira was great. Our pup keeps looking for her in our guest room after bonding during her stay. She was communicative, responsible, and good with our loving but anxious dog. She took him for hikes and walks, kept our house clean, gathered the mail, etc. We would happily have her pet sit again. And Dozer would be thrilled to see her again.”
About: I raised/trained a puppy several years ago, and I've been pet sitting since I was 14. I am also a very active person, and I love running, walking, and playing outside with dogs. I have work shifts no more than a few hours on select days. If your dog cannot be alone for a few hours, I can almost certainly find a friend or family member to watch them while I am out. I am happy to house sit as well if you are on vacation. I will make sure your dog feels comfortable, well loved, and properly entertained. I am very trustworthy and diligent with regards to schedules and special instructions. If boarding, please bring an item from home that your dog feels connected to (could be a bed, favorite toy, blanket, etc).

“Abby was amazing, took amazing care our our home and pets, highly recommend ?”
Olive T.
“Olive is my go-to dog and cat sitter. I have two Labrador Retrievers and two Maine Coon cats. My labs love her--she stays overnight (and lets the dogs cuddle in bed with her, which is their preference), walks the dogs, plays with them, and feeds the dogs and cats according to schedule. Olive's mother is my vet--which leaves me to believe that Olive knows how to manage and handle dogs by osmosis! She is very dependable, leaves my home tidier than it was when I left, and communicates with me (texts and photos) while I am away.”

Suchi J.
“Suchi has taken care of my two dogs many times and she is the most responsible and loving pet sitter there is. Both of my dogs are high needs and require daily medication, she was extremely attentive to their needs and made sure they were both comfortable. She goes above and beyond to provide a happy environment for pets and make them feel at home. I would absolutely ask Suchi to watch my dogs again.”
Ronan P.
