“A real life-saver. Booked at last minute due to unavailability of our usual sitter. She cam e to the house for a meet and greet and showed up, as scheduled, to take care of Buddy. Kept us informed with regular photos and notes. He was well taken care of. Thanks Dmitria.”


“Stephanie was fantastic with our large dog! She gave descriptive details about her visits and took really good pictures. I was sure I could see my dog smiling!”


“Max made sure my dogs were happy, fed, and played with non stop. So great!”


“Brian was amazing as always and did a great job taking care of Cooper. Cooper was alone at home and feeling sad without his little sister, who was also out of town. However, he immediately lit up and was very happy to see Brian each day and even played with him in the backyard. The absolute best pet sitter in town; I basically plan all my travel around Brian’s schedule. Thanks Brian!”


“Haylee always does a great job with our 3 dogs and cat. They absolutely love her”


“After 9 days overseas, my family came home to a very happy kitty! As always, Rebecca did a wonderful job. We missed our sweet kitty, but we also had total peace of mind knowing that she was well cared for in our absence. I highly recommend Rebecca!”

About: I have helped raise and train dogs since I was a child, and have loved sitting and taking furry friends on adventures for several years now. I've cared from young puppies all the way to seniors, including giving any medication that was needed. Pets truly are a member of the family and you can trust me to treat them as if they are one of my own. It's because of this that I send daily photos for those who wish it, or just capture memories of the pups having fun. I do have a dog of my own, so their time with me can have socialization, or they can be one on one. I am a full time elementary school special ed teacher. So I am available any day before 6:30 am and after 3:15 on weekdays during the school year, and all hours on weekends for walks or check ins. I can do boarding any day of the week. Please feel free to reach out about any inquiries as school breaks like summer and days off school free up my schedule at different times of the year. I have a fenced in backyard, and am less than half a mile walk away from a massive dog park and only a few miles away from the dog beach. I have a 25 lbs dog myself who is always eager for a playmate, and I can crate your dog if you wish at night or while I am at work.

“Chad was very prompt in answering messages, interacted very well with our American Stafford, and she was well taken care! We will book again.”


About: All my life I have had multiple pets so I know what are their needs and desires and I have lots of energy and great communication skills to make their experience with me perfect. Your doggy is returned smiling ))) My brother and I both work from home and take care of our elderly mother so my schedule is super flexible and days of the week or holidays do not matter. I offer any type of service necessary and I give complete attention to the animal as if he/she is part of the family. Your furry baby is safe with me❤️❤️❤️

About: I am currently available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday 6 pm-11pm. I am very passionate about dogs, I enjoy being around them! I enjoy taking them for walks and playing with them! I treat any dog like it’s my own! They are our furry children! I believe they are not just pets but also family members! ... I have had pets all my life! I love meeting different fur babies!!! Every fur baby has a very unique personality and/or quirk. I can't wait to meet your furry child and take them for a walk and play with them! I am currently available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday 6 pm-11p. I currently have a nine-year-old dog. He is an ESA dog. Hope to hear from you! I cannot board at the moment as I live in an apartment. They do not allow boarding. I can only do drop in visits and dog walking.

“Danielle was amazing with our girl Alka! She spoiled her! She was very communicative and made sure she sent me a lot of pics. Thanks so much for taking great care of our girl!”


About: I have over 10+ years of experience taking care of dogs of all sizes. I will take care of your dog while you are on vacation, and they will feel at home. I work from home for a software company so I will be able to make company to your dog(s) all day long and take them for potty breaks as often as they need. I have a fenced back yard and a lot of backyard space for the dog to roam around. Or whatever needs you have for your dog if he is a home body. Plus, I love to take walks during the evenings when is cooler.

“Maria was extremely personable at our meet and greet. Our dog Bessa liked her very much. She was punctual and we got the visual/photographic feedback of the visit. Thanks, Maria!”


“Dependable, on time and communicative.”


About: Sure, there are lots of pet sitters out there—but here’s what makes me the one your pet will never want to leave: Puppy Whisperer: Got a bouncy bundle of paws and energy? I’ve got the patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement techniques to help puppies learn basic manners, crate comfort, and potty routines. Every little win is celebrated with love (and maybe a treat or two)! Senior Pet Specialist: Older pets have a special place in my heart. I understand the slower pace, the medication schedules, the joint stiffness, and the need for extra TLC. From gentle walks to soft bedding and warm snuggles, I ensure your golden oldie feels safe, loved, and pampered. Home-Like Comfort: I’m not just a sitter—I provide a calm, clean, and cozy environment that feels like a home away from home. Whether your pet is shy, social, high-energy, or low-key, I tailor the experience to match their personality and needs. Daily Updates & Smiles Guaranteed: You’ll never have to wonder how your fur baby’s doing—I send regular updates with photos, videos, and the occasional funny story. You’ll see the love and fun in every tail wag and purr. Genuine Love + Professional Care: I take my role seriously, but I also LOVE what I do. I’m attentive, experienced, and fully invested in each pet’s happiness and well-being. From first sniff to final tail wag, your pet is treated like family. Bottom line? I don’t just watch pets—I bond with them, care for them, and give them an experience they’ll love. Whether you’ve got a wiggly pup, a wise senior, or a quirky furball in between—I’ve got the skills, heart, and home to make their stay safe, happy, and unforgettable. As a work-from-home professional and semi-retired empty nester, my life has found a fabulous new rhythm—part Zoom meetings, part freedom, and 100% paws-itively centered around my fur babies. Morning Zoomies & Zen: My day kicks off not with an alarm clock, but with a tail-wagging or whisker-nudging wake-up call. Coffee in one hand, leash in the other—these early AM pet rituals get me moving, clear my head, and set the tone for a productive day. Nothing like a brisk walk or snuggle session to kickstart the brain! Midday Snuggle & Stretch: While others take coffee breaks, I take pup breaks. Toss a ball, refill a water bowl, or have a quick snuggle—it's the ideal reset between tasks. And yes, I may or may not narrate your pet’s inner monologue for comic relief. (Spoiler: they’re always hilarious.) Evening Adventures: After a day of keyboard clicking and virtual brilliance, it’s time to unwind. Evening walks, backyard fetch, or simply lounging on the couch together—it’s our little “we survived another day” ritual. Bonus: no awkward small talk like at the gym. Weekly Spa Days & Supply Runs: One day a week, I can serve as a full-time pet concierge, taking your pets to grooming appointments, checking supplies, and scheduling vet appointments as needed. It keeps me grounded, keeps them healthy, and gives me an excuse to spoil them (as if I needed one). The Emotional ROI: Being an empty nester, pets fill my home with energy, joy, and just the right amount of chaos. They remind me to stay active, present, and most importantly, to stop and enjoy the treat now and then. Bottom line? Pet care isn’t a chore—it’s the heartbeat of my daily routine, keeping me balanced, loved, and on my toes (literally and figuratively). It’s like working with your best furry coworkers… who never judge your snack habits or meeting attire. When your fur baby stays with me, they’re not just getting care—they’re getting the royal treatment! From the moment they trot (or zoomie) through the door, they become part of the family. Whether they’re a couch cuddler, belly rub beggar, or a nonstop ball chaser, I meet them where they are—with love, patience, and play. Daily Tail-Wagging TLC Includes: Plenty of walks, playtime, and enrichment to keep those tails wagging and minds engaged Cozy nap zones and soft beds for full-on relaxation Fresh food and water served on schedule (with a dash of love) Treats (with your permission!) because every good boy or girl deserves a little yum Spoiled, Not Sorry: I’m talking extra cuddles, attention to their unique quirks, photo updates for you, and a whole lot of talking to them like they’re royalty (because… they are). Whether it’s belly rubs, soothing music during storms, or a lap to nap on, I go above and beyond to make them feel safe, secure, and super special. Bottom line? You can rest easy knowing your pet is in a loving, experienced home where they’ll be cared for just like you would—and yes, maybe a little extra spoiled too. 😉

About: With over twenty years of experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, I have developed a thorough understanding of their unique behaviors and needs. From energetic kittens to senior cats with specific health considerations, I provide compassionate care that extends beyond basic responsibilities. I am skilled in administering medications—including pills, liquids, and topical treatments—in a patient and calm manner, ensuring that stressful situations are managed smoothly for both the animal and owner. I prioritize maintaining a clean and comfortable environment, with particular attention to deep-cleaning litter boxes regularly to minimize odors and promote a safe, hygienic space where cats can thrive. My extensive background in feline care, combined with my dedication to their health and well-being, positions me as a trustworthy caretaker who genuinely values the comfort and happiness of pets. In addition, I bring over a decade of hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, small mammals, and exotic pets. My volunteer work at an animal shelter during high school provided valuable insights into animal behavior, health management, and emergency response. Throughout the years, caring for friends’ and family members’ pets has further enhanced my knowledge and skills. What differentiates my approach is my ability to care for pets at all life stages and with diverse temperaments. I am experienced in basic puppy training techniques to help establish good habits early on, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets with special needs. Whether managing medical routines, understanding species-specific requirements, or offering loving companionship, I am committed to treating every pet with the same level of care and respect as I would my own. I'm currently a WFH employee with flexibility to stay at the house with your pet during the workday or to drop in throughout the day to ensure all their needs are met. I have flexibility everyday throughout the week to provide drop ins, walks, or house sitting. Cats and/or Dogs are loved, accepted, and wanted in my care. I prioritize safety and trust by creating a calm, secure environment tailored to each pet’s needs, including stress-minimizing spaces and hazard-proofing. In clients’ homes, I follow routines, respect their spaces, and adhere to detailed care instructions to ensure consistency. I supervise pets, secure entry points, and use pet-friendly cleaning products. I communicate regularly with owners, providing updates and addressing concerns. My goal is to ensure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well-cared for in any setting.

What sets Rody apart is her incredible reliability and genuine love for animals. She shows up with a smile, ready to brighten your pet’s day, rain or shine. I've trusted Rody with my own babies.

Caesar treats all pets like family and somehow always knows exactly what they need, whether it’s a comforting presence or a moment of fun and stimulation. His home is filled with cozy pet beds, toys, and soft blankets. My crazy dog loves spending time with him, and his yard is the perfect place for her to run out her energy! Caesar is the first person I go to if I need someone to take care of my pets because I know they are always in good hands. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
