“I had a phenomenal experience leveraging Stacy for house and pet sitting. I knew from our first meet and greet she would be wonderful and she was! Stacy was thorough, patient, kind and organized. I look forward to using her services again.”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative and punctual, and we really appreciated the photo updates she sent of our dogs while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. She made the whole experience easy and stress-free, and we’ll definitely be using her again the next time we need someone to watch our dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Rev was the most responsive, caring and thoughtful caring person! She sent us many, many pictures with updates throughout the days we were away and went out of her way to coordinate with our families as I had undergone an emergency surgery and couldn’t make it back in time. Simply put, Rev is the bestest!!”
“I was nervous to leave my pup since he has lots of meds and health issues but Tommy was super attentive and made me feel so comfortable to be away. They sent lots of pics and updates which I loved. Will definitely book again!”
About: I adore dogs but with a busy career and a teenager with bazillion sports, I prefer to get my dose of canine love through dog sitting! As an educator by trade, I treat the dogs I care for with lots of love. Dogs don’t talk back and it is so much more pleasant 🙂 I am an educator by trade and have summers off, so I’m looking to add some local dog sitting gigs while I have extra time off. I have two small balconies in my condo, and have boarded dogs in my home for up to 6 weeks while dog mom travels. I also do drop ins and have much more flexibility in the summer.
“Eleanor did a great job cat sitting for us for two weeks. She stayed in our apartment and left it super clean and tidy for us. She sent frequent updates and photos and had lots of cuddles with our cat. We came home to a happy kitty, thanks Eleanor!”
“I couldn't have asked for a sweeter and more caring sitter than Claudia!! Our fur-baby is our angel and she absolutely ADORED Claudia the moment she met her - my heart overflowed with relief and happiness knowing Claudia would be caring for her. Thank you for everything, Claudia!!!!”
“Angie was absolutely fabulous with our pup! She was so caring, sent plenty of adorable updates, and treated Maisy like her own. It was clear our dog loved her, too! Without a doubt, we’d love to book with Angie again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup and our apartment!”
“Casey was super communicative, thoughtful, and attentive to details throughout the entire process. She genuinely cares about the dogs and it showed. Any dog parent understands the anxiety over leaving their babies with someone new - but Casey really pulled through and was so reliable! The dogs LOVED her. Thank you Casey. You're a gift!”
“Amazing pet and house sitter. We felt completely at ease being out of the country while Sofia watched our beagle and stayed at our house. Everything was neat and clean, dog fed and walked, plants watered. Would highly recommend Sofia and hope to hire her again!!”
“It was my first time leaving Harvey with a sitter and I was a bit nervous, but Bridget was wonderful! She sent many pup dates and pictures throughout the weekend. Harvey looked very happy and loved all the attention and love she gave him. She stayed with him over the Christmas weekend and even gave him his very own Christmas gift! I’ll definitely be a returning customer and highly recommend Bridget to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Belen took such good care of Pedrito! We've had two sitters move out of the area, and I'm so glad it was easy to find Belen who was clear, communicative, and has experience with small, reactive dogs like mine. Belen's calm demeanor is just what my dog needs. She gave him the space and opportunity to approach her when he was ready when they first met, which made a huge difference. He warmed up to her pretty quickly because of that patience. I would definitely recommend booking with Belen. She housesat, which I appreciated because that's the most comfortable for my dog. She sent lots of update pictures and videos while I was away. Can't say enough great things, thanks Belen! I'll definitely be booking with you again for Pedrito!”
“Isabella took very good care of my two Boston Terriers. She communicated with us regularly and sent lots of pictures. Both my girls looked they they were having fun while we were gone. I would highly recommend Isabella and would certainly use her again.”
“We are incredibly grateful to Ailise for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Pepe, over a long weekend. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals, and she treated Pepe with so much love, attention, and patience. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pepe felt comfortable and happy in her care. Ailise was also extremely respectful of our home and she went above and beyond to ensure things were just as we left them. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Ailise to look after Pepe again in the future. Highly recommended!”

Tommy’s been helping care for my high-maintenance and anxious dog Juju for a few months now and he’s taken amazing care of her and gone the extra mile to be responsive and flexible. He’s super responsible, experienced, and absolutely loves dog. Juju adores him. I’m grateful to have established this relationship and will be working with Tommy in the future!
I was scrambling last min and Irichiya really came through. Even with my less than ideal logistical options she was flexible and reliable. While the pup was very nervous, he was so well taken care of by her patience and attention to his needs. Would absolutely work with again!
Stacy was absolutely wonderful sitting for my anxious and playful dog while I was out of town. She was highly communicative, flexible, and always went above and beyond. I could not recommend Stacy's services more highly and will surely count on them to watch my dog again in the future!
Katie did a great job. She took the time to get to know us, as well as Maisie and Jack and their routines. She made sure to do this before she came to care for them. Maisie and Jack are two senior pups and what they need most is comfort and companionship. It was clear that Katie offered them all of that and more. They were quite content when we came home, which is the best sign of success. Katie kept us posted during our trip with updates and funny videos that made us feel better about being away. The house was perfect and we stepped back in as if we never left. She was very thoughtful about everything. I hope that the next time we travel Katie is available again. Thank you Katie, you made our wonderful get-away worry-free!
Amazing pet and house sitter. We felt completely at ease being out of the country while Sofia watched our beagle and stayed at our house. Everything was neat and clean, dog fed and walked, plants watered. Would highly recommend Sofia and hope to hire her again!!
I can’t say enough great things about Ailise! She helped me out last minute this weekend, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From the moment we connected, she was responsive, kind, and genuinely caring with my dogs. It was such a relief knowing my pups was in great hands while I was away. Ailise went above and beyond with updates, photos, attention to detail, and making sure my dogs felt loved the whole time. You can truly tell she cares about animals and treat them like family. I came home to happy, relaxed dogs and I’m so grateful for the care and flexibility she provided on short notice. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate dog sitter!
Scottie took amazing care of our doggos. We were able to be away with complete peace of mind that they were in the best of hands. We had nothing but the best of experiences working with Scottie and would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone in the area. The regular updates with pics and videos were so appreciated :)(:
Ella was very professional and responsive to my check ins while house sitting our two pups for 1 week. She sent me daily pictures and updates and saw my two pups literally cuddling with her on the couch which reassured me the dogs were in good care. She was also extremely respectful of my home and left the house in the same shape (if not a little cleaner) than when we left. My dogs and I definitely look forward to working with Ella again in the future
Lizzy, thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog and cats! You were very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates, and were super reliable throughout. We really appreciated it and felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Thank you!!!
