About: I would love to take care of your furbaby! I have several years of past experience working at animal hospitals and a year of volunteer experience at the ASPCA animal shelter. I offer boarding with only one pet family booked at a time. I also offer house-sitting and love how it is a great option for some pets who feel most comfortable in their own home. I also make sure to keep your home at least as clean and tidy as I found it. I usually stay overnight for the pet's care needs, but if you are looking for just morning to evening or partial day house-sitting, message me for a custom rate. Whether boarding or house-sitting, I will do my best to adhere to your furbaby's normal routine. I have a knack for relaxing anxious/shy/reactive pets and have quite a lot of experience winning them over. I would be happy to do a meet-n-greet in a large outdoor space for your pup to warm up to me on neutral ground. I've cared for the full spectrum of dog sizes and ages. With older pets, I go slowly and make sure not to startle them if they're sleeping, as they may not see or hear me come in. I like to discuss how I can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. Extra plus if your pet is a cuddler! I look forward to getting to know all of your pets' personality traits and quirks! I LOVE hearing stories about the weird things your pets do that make them unique! :D I work from home and can often accommodate same day requests for walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting. I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine. I like to go slow when meeting new furbabies, especially if you tell me they are shy or anxious. I use a few calming techniques that have shown to be effective. I like a challenge! It's so rewarding watching the transformation of a cat/dog go from showing defensive/protective behavior to them rubbing up on me or giving me kisses. Earning their trust is the best!
“My pup has done daycare with Jason three times now and she runs up to his front door excited each time. Jason shares photos and videos each day and maps of their walks and bathroom breaks. He’s a great communicator and it’s so comforting to leave my (big) dog with him when I’m at work knowing she’s fully taken care of. Can’t recommend him enough!”
About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.
“Kayla took great care of Ruby while dog sitting. She provided plenty of updates and my pup had fun day with Kayla and her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kayla again for sitting!”
“Jess is absolutely great . She was able to accommodate to our last-minute request for daycare for our dog Bruno and was very understanding of our dog’s needs. She kept sending pictures and updates which gave us piece of mind during these times when our dog needs to be monitored. We’re looking forward for Bruno’s next boarding stay with Jess.”
“Lauren was amazing with our dog, Coda. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She was warm, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. We got updated during the work day, and it was clear he was happy and at ease in her care. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work. We couldn't ask for a better sitter — Coda can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver.”
“Jamie was great! Was flexible with an early pickup, communicated quickly, and took good care of our pup. Benji immediately made himself at home and seemed sad to go, he enjoyed his time with Jamie and Sammie.”
About: I would be great person to take care/watch your dog because I don’t treat pets like any regular animal they are like kids they need to be loved and taken care of just like any other human being. My whole life growing up I have been around nothing but dogs mainly and I always grow a different bond with every single one of them as if they were my own,I’m different from other sitters because to me it’s not just about money but I would love to have all the new experiences I can get with many different dogs all shapes and sizes, I can learn a lot of new things and even help train your dog with things they haven’t even learned yet. I’m currently a stay at home mom finishing up with school so I will have plenty of free time to still love and care for your pet. I have a small yard but also closed in parks that your dog can run around and still be free in. Also while inside I treat all dogs like my own so they would have the same routines just like they were right at home no one likes new changes so fast.

“Love Yaidesky and so did my Golden pup! Yaidesky came to my rescue when I had to find a reliable sitter on a super short notice, she is so responsive, and I totally appreciate that! It’s such a relief to know she’s there for us and our pup when we need a trusted human to care for our dog :)”
“Paradise was friendly and took great care of Toby! She had a big smile on her face and expressed that she and her daughter had fun taking care of my boy. Its always a good feeling when the people taking care of Toby have a genuinely good connection. I really appreciate you Paradise!!”
“Alan took excellent care of my young dog who is something of an escape artist. Pilot enjoyed his time with Alan and I enjoyed knowing that Pilot was happy and safe.”
“Tianyue was wonderful with my dog! Very caring, attentive, and easy to communicate with. I felt comfortable leaving my pup in their care and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!”
“Ange was so wonderful with Zazu! Super punctual and communicative. Zazu was so excited to see Ange day two of being minded as she clearly treated him so well. Couldn't recommend Ange more highly and I will definitely request Ange's skills and talents again.”
“Rowan had a wonderful first day of doggy day care. He got to spend time with fantastic friends, play outside and go on walks. Will definitely book again.”
“Mariella was fantastic with Moxie! She watched her for a full day, keeping us updated throughout the day with messages and photos. It was clear Moxie was cozy on a cold wet day, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. We felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. We’d absolutely book with Mariella again!”
“Tae is always so wonderful, my dog gets so excited to see her every time I drop her off. She always sends many updates and keeps them entertained with lots of activities. Udon is a great playmate as well!”

We feel like we hit the jackpot finding Riya. Truly the BEST dogsitter we’ve ever had. He goes above and beyond — long walks, tons of playtime, and the sweetest photos that made us smile every day. Our dog came home happier than when we dropped him off. We are forever grateful!!
Meghan was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She kept me posted on all their activities throughout the day, sent me lots of pictures and definitely spoiled him. She was very attentive to him and was eager to learn all about Hutch and wanted to help in any way she could. She even offered to get me coffee in the morning before I dropped him off! I can’t recommend Meghan enough.
Alan and Ying are very responsible and always take wonderful care of my Shiba. Pilot loves staying with them. When I had an early arrival time for a recent medical procedure, Alan didn’t hesitate to accommodate me even though it must have been inconvenient for him.
We could not have asked for a better dog sitter than Isabel. Our pup has separation anxiety and is reactive to other dogs. Isabel clearly has had experience handling dogs with special needs and was undaunted by the challenges presented. Our pup loved her from their first greeting and was super calm when we picked her up hours later. Isabel was also very accommodating with our questions and professional in all her interactions with us. Beyond that, she and her husband are affable and have a good sense of humor. We are looking forward to our next stay already!
Mayu loves getting dropped off to Atticia’s for daycare. She’s walked, fed, rested, and loved all day and comes home ready to knock out. I’m also so happy Mayu has a dog friend with Aurora- I think it’s really helped with her manners and socialization skills. Thank you for all you do, Atticia!
Lauren was amazing with our dog, Coda. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She was warm, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. We got updated during the work day, and it was clear he was happy and at ease in her care. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work. We couldn't ask for a better sitter — Coda can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver.
Allison was an absolute life saver hosting our two pups while we cheered a family member on at the Marathon. Seeing the picture updates and knowing they had fallen right into place with her pups was wonderful. We will absolutely use her next time we’re in town.
