Great dog sitter! My large dog was very comfortable with Dong. He is very fast in responding to messages and sends lots of videos and pictures. Will definitely rebook!

Thank you so much for being so incredible. I came back to an apt that was more tidy than the one I left, and my pups looked happy / content. It was my first time having someone come over to care for them, and I probably overdid it with instructions, but Elizabeth took it all in stride, and was quite the sweetheart. Can’t recommend enough. Until next time!!!

This was our second time having Dona watch my dog, Lola, in our home and all went well! Dona is very friendly and respectful and Lola was happy and safe when we returned home :) We received pupdates throughout our time away and could tell Lola went on all sorts of activities and places.

Alexandra was very professional and very caring for my dog. He’s a bit reactive and scared sometimes but he warmed up well to Alex. She also sent updates when I asked and sent updates when I didn’t. I would definitely hire her again

About: I provide reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care. I have experience caring for a cat for 17 years and a Maltese for 2 years, so I understand both long-term care and daily pet needs. I’m calm, patient, and good with all temperaments, and I follow routines carefully to keep pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping owners updated. Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to offer availability seven days a week for dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home sitting. My flexible schedule enables me to provide dependable care, consistent routines, and personalized attention to each pet’s needs. Please feel free to contact me to discuss availability and scheduling. My focus is to keep pets comfortable and secure by maintaining their normal routine in their own home while carefully following all care instructions, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and playtime. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.

Kat is an amazing sitter. My dog loved her instantly—she literally ran up to Kat during our first meet-and-greet, which immediately put me at ease. I booked Kat right away and left for a 4-day trip feeling confident my dog was in great hands. Kat sent plenty of photos and updates and followed my dog’s supplement schedule and more complicated feeding routine perfectly. My golden retriever is a puller on leash, but that didn’t faze Kat at all. I came home to a happy dog and a clean home, exactly as I left it. I’ve already booked Kat again for a shorter trip and am in the process of booking her for a two-week stay. Highly recommend!

Jenid is extremely reliable, communicative, professional, and friendly. She is the kind of person I trust to be responsible for my dog even more than I trust myself because she is so experienced with dogs and so good at taking care of them. My dog loves her and we trust her completely. Thank you Jenid! :-)

Jose took care of my dog, Yogi, for three days and stayed at my home while I was away. He was very responsive throughout the entire stay and consistently kept me updated with photos and messages from Yogi’s morning and evening walks. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Yogi was being well cared for. Everything went smoothly, and Yogi was happy and comfortable when I returned. I really appreciated Jose’s communication, reliability, and attention to detail. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Leigh was amazing with our corgi, Rigatoni! We were in a bind with finding someone on short notice and Leigh stepped in with some options for us. She came over to meet us and quickly bonded with him! Throughout her 3 days, she was super communicative and provided us with updates and pictures. Rigatoni loved spending time with her in the comfort of our apartment and going on his daily walks. We cannot wait to have Leigh come and watch Rigatoni again. Thanks, Leigh!

Fernando takes excellent care of our foster dog, Ernesto and this stay was no exception. Even though he's watched him a few times before, each stay is different as Ernesto learns and grows and Fernando handles each update and change beautifully. He's a wonderful communicator and we never even have to wonder how Ernesto is doing when we are away because Fernando keeps us posted at every step. Thank you so much, Fernando!

Katherine was incredible! Our dog has some medical concerns and this was our first time leaving him with a sitter since he began his medication. She was so great about following our administration instructions for the meds, as well as anything else we shared with her. I’d highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again! Our dog was so loved while we were out of town, and that’s truly all we could want!

We had a great experience with Salette while we were away from Wednesday through Sunday. Mushi and Lola were calm, happy, and well cared for when we returned which is always the best sign. She was kind, communicative, and easy to work with throughout the stay. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals and I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. I would absolutely use her services again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter <3

Claire is THE BEST! 5 stars isn’t enough! She took incredible care of our dog for a week, sending us pictures and updates multiple times a day. Leading up to our trip, Claire made sure to stop by for a walk through so she knew where everything was for our dog. She is so kind and takes such great care of our dog. We’ll be recommending her to everyone and will be booking her again.

Anikó is exactly the kind of person you want caring for a senior cat. Bruno is getting on in years, so handing him over to someone new always comes with a little anxiety — but Anikó put that to rest immediately. She brushed him, trimmed his nails, and when an unexpected health issue came up, handled it swiftly and kept us fully in the loop. That kind of calm good judgment is hard to find. She sent beautiful photos and videos throughout (a few are now permanent additions to Bruno’s collection), and I came home to little gifts like eye masks waiting for me. She’d even gifted Bruno a silver vine toy, which he loves. I’m certain he misses her. We’ll definitely be booking again if she’s available!
