“Andy was great, I highly recommend him! My dog Teddy took an immediate liking to him and looked happy and content in the photos and videos he sent. Andy followed my instructions and left my home neat and tidy. Communication was excellent before and during the visit.”
About: Hi, I’m Tania — a calm, loving home for your dog while you’re away. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have experience with all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy breeds to seniors who need gentle care. I work from home and create a warm, structured environment where dogs feel safe and comfortable. Safety is always my priority, and I carefully follow feeding routines and any special instructions. I send daily updates and photos so you have peace of mind. I’d love to meet you and your dog before booking to ensure a great fit. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including most weekends and holidays when needed. Safety and supervision are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure environment, follow each pet’s routine, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times.
“Gage was the perfect match for our new puppy Ash. He was punctual, knowledgeable and very comfortable with Ash. We’re lucky to have found him and will definitely continue to use his services. Thank you ? Ash is looking forward to seeing you again soon.”
“Tiffany was awesome ? Definitely choose her for watching your fur buddies during your next vacay. We were able to completely relax while away knowing my little guy was taken care of. Excellent communication.”
“Caroline did a great job checking in with my kitty! When I leave my cat alone she gets stressed out and lets me know when I get back by acting out. Caroline was able to reduce her stress when I had to leave (in the middle of moving in) and my kitty was happy and well behaved when I got back. I loved all of the photos she sent each check-in and knowing she was being cared for. Will be booking with her again!”
“Ethan and Mariia were amazing taking care of my dog with separation anxiety. They kept me updated with photos and activities of what them and my dog did that day. They were very responsive and asked a lot of questions for taking care of my dog. Will definitely book again!”
“endlessly thankful for cecilia!!!! our kitty is quite the wallflower but she had him purring and showing off his cuddly personality in no time. she went above and beyond to help rocket feel comfortable and took care of him as if he were her own. couldn’t recommend more 💛”
About: I’ve always grown up with having a dog in the house, and was asked my family and friends to feed, walk, and play with their pets (mostly dogs and cats)! I’m currently working part time, meaning I have a bunch of free time on my hands to keep your pup company. Even if you need someone just to pop in for a few minutes or take a long walk I’m your gal. I’m always aware of my surroundings and make sure the pup can become comfortable with me when I meet them! I will also ask additional questions in case I need extra clarification
About: Howdy I’m Serena! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up, I raised and looked after a variety of animals—including turtles, bunnies, and kittens—which taught me early on that every pet has their own personality, needs, and boundaries. As I got older, I became the go-to person for walking dogs and helping friends and neighbors care for their pets, gaining experience with everything from large, high-energy dogs to shy small pets and senior cats. Core Skills & Experience: -Comfortable with all sizes and temperaments (large dogs, small dogs, cats, kittens, seniors) -Kitten & puppy care, including play, supervision, and positive engagement -Senior pet care with patience, gentle handling, and routine consistency -Skilled with high-energy pets and structured walks/playtime -Strong at building trust with shy or anxious animals -Cat-focused care: playful engagement + respecting boundaries and cues -Detail-oriented with feeding schedules, routines, and updates -Experience managing multiple pets at once -Basic pet CPR knowledge (not certified, but familiar with emergency response) What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each animal. Whether that means keeping up with an energetic dog who needs structure and exercise, or taking a slower, more gentle approach with older pets who need extra care and consistency, I focus on meeting them where they are. I especially love caring for cats. I enjoy playing with them, keeping them mentally engaged, and just as importantly, respecting their boundaries. I pay close attention to their behavior and take the time to build trust at their pace—something that’s especially important for shy or more independent cats. Above all, my goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, secure, and cared for—like you never left. For safety and peace of mind, I also make it a strict rule to never board dogs and cats together, ensuring a calm and secure environment for every pet in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, which gives me extra flexibility—especially on Mondays and Fridays when I’m home and have more availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. I’m also available for boarding on weekends (including Fridays), and I make sure to dedicate plenty of time for play, exercise, and attention so your pet never feels overlooked. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment for every pet. I live in a spacious apartment with a loft setup, giving pets plenty of room to relax and explore, and I have access to a nearby hiking trail that’s perfect for walks and outdoor play for dogs of all sizes. For cats, I provide a clean, enriched space with toys and scratching areas to keep them mentally stimulated. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely and adapt to your pet’s specific needs, routines, and personality. For added safety and peace of mind, I maintain a strict rule of never boarding dogs and cats together, ensuring a secure and stress-free environment for all animals.
“I can’t recommend Anjali enough! She took amazing care of my cats while I was away, and I could tell right away that she truly love animals. She was reliable, communicative, and even got my more shy cat to fall in love with her. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Definitely my go to cat sitter from now on!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have owned 3 dogs in my adulthood including two mixed-breed rescues from Milo and a pure-bread yellow lab at 6 weeks. My experience ranges from puppyhood to senior dog care, as well as behavior issues including fear, resource, and leash aggression. I attune to a dog's needs and understand their body language and boundaries. I am responsible, reliable and have a deep love and respect for animals. I am a teacher on summer break, so my schedule is fairly open and flexible aside from occasional travel. I have reliable transportation and can accommodate last minute needs. My services include in-home visits (feedings, medications, playtime, companionship) and walks. I'm able to do a neighborhood walk or drive to a local trailhead for a hike.
“Katherine hung out with my mini-schnauzer and a friend's lab for two hours last night and they clearly had lots of fun! Katherine is a very nice, caring and seasoned dog owner who we felt very comfortable leaving with our pups. She quickly picked up on the personalities of the dogs and followed home entry/leashing guidance perfectly. I would highly recommend Katherine for anyone looking for wise and trustworthy dog care!”

Had to make an unexpected trip and chose Yuki to care for my two cats based on her outstanding reviews. She exceeded my expectations and engaged with my cats, which is not easy for strangers to do! I appreciate the care Yuki provided and will certainly check her availability first the next time I’m away.
Genna was amazing! She took great care of my cat Nutella. She brushed her, played with her, fed her and gave her lots of love. She offered to meet before and noted down everything on Nutella routine. Also a bird got into the apartment and Nutella killed it, and Genna took care of everything, even vacuumed. Genna was amazing, I highly recommend her
We absolutely loved having Rachel look after our cats. She went above and beyond for our boys, even buying litter and new toys for them, and was incredibly attentive to their needs the whole time. We got thoughtful updates, and it was clear they were very comfortable with her. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean space. We’d 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. 🐾💛
Sian is a kind and wonderful soul. She took good care of our kitties and did a great job following special instructions for the house. We felt very confident and comfortable leaving her in charge while on retreat and the kitties will be having her back! So grateful and what a relief to have someone we can count on.
Ella is an exceptional dogsitter & person, and that was evident within mere hours of meeting her! Ella came over to get to know my dogs before a couple weekday walks and it was clear that she is a true dog lover at heart. I have one dog who is a total lover and another who’s a bit moody, but she was able to connect with both of them right away. She was attentive, kind, and I could tell she really cared about doing a great job and providing the best possible care for my pets. When I left town a few days later, I reached out to her in a panic when I needed someone local to come help out with an issue unrelated to dogsitting. She had yet to even complete our first booking, but since I knew she lived nearby I texted her in a last ditch effort. She responded instantly and literally saved the day by stepping in to help out when she absolutely did not need to. She was gracious and kind, and I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without her! Since then, she’s created a close bond with both my pets and become a household name we speak of fondly. She goes above and beyond in everything she does and I feel so lucky to have found her.
Maral dropped in on our puppy for an hour while we had to be out of the house for the day. Beforehand, she asked if we wanted help with training, which was fine by us, and she proceeded to send us multiple videos of the she was using while giving him a walk. He was having a great time while learning - Maral is absolutely recommended.
As soon as you meet Leo, you know your fur kids are in the right hands. He is very thoughtful, caring, detail-oriented, reliable, responsible, respectful and friendly. He takes great pics. I look forward to having him watch over my fur babies again. Super grateful we met!
Katelyn took care of my cat, Nutella, better than I ever could! She didn’t just stop by to check on her, she made sure every little detail was perfect and showed such a deep, caring level of attention. Katelyn gave Nutella plenty of pets, played with her, brushed her, and even brought a laser toy to keep her entertained. She is truly amazing, and I can confidently say I’ve found my forever cat sitter. Nutella absolutely loves her, and I couldn’t recommend Katelyn enough.
