“Taylor was gracious enough to accept a last minute assignment having never being to my house to meet the dogs. Upon arrival she found my one dog abt aggressive at the door. She called me and suggested asking a neighbor knee the dogs to help her the first time and that was the ticket. I loved her assertive nature. Took care of my pups and communicated every time. Would highly recommend Taylor in the future”
“Becky was absolutely fantastic with my cat, Captain. She took excellent care of him while I was away and gave me many photos while I missed him. Could not speak higher of her”
About: I’ve had pets since I was 5. I’ve always been in charge of their wellbeing. I currently have 4 pets so handling a couple more fur babies isn’t a problem for me. Either they’re big or small. I’ll treat them as my own. I currently am not working so I will be with your fur baby 24/7. I am very strict with feeding times, potty breaks and play time. I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room to run. I also live a block away from the park so a nice walk would be able to happen as well. My family has a total of 4 cats and three dogs but not to worry all dogs are very friendly and I will be there at all times during interaction if anything where to happen. Our cats are super chill too they don’t want nothing to do with our dogs or humans.
“Kasandra was so kind to help me with a last minute drop in. Great visit Kasandra was very kind to my 4 legged child and very respectful to our home. Could not have asked for anything more!! We definitely would use her again. If you need a sitter… no need to look further Kasandra is great!”
“I needed a lalst minute dog walker for our 5 month old puppy Yogi. Sunil came to the rescue! Sunil offered to come to our house the night before to meet Yogi. When he did there was an instant connection between Sunil and Yogi. Sunil is a dog lover (and whisperer) for sure! My husband and I have never met a nicer young man. This was the first time we left Yogi with a sitter. When I saw how Sunil interacted with Yogi it was such a relief and we felt confident that Yogi was in great hands. It was a very long day for us, we were gone for about 13 hours. When we got home Yogi was happy and was also tired! Sunil gave him a good workout during his walks I think! We HIGHLY recommend him.”
“Isabella was fantastic! The pets loved her like they loved her. She communicated very well with me, always answering my messages promptly. I hope she is always available to take care of my pets.”
“I had a great experience with Chentel! She took wonderful care of my kitten Benny while I was away and kept me updated with photos and messages every day. It was clear that my kitten felt comfortable and well taken care of—something that gives so much peace of mind when you’re traveling. When I returned home, everything was tidy, my kitten was relaxed and happy, and it was obvious that Chentel been attentive to him. I highly recommend Chentel to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter. Benny is looking forward to seeing her again. I've already booked her for Christmas!”
“Lori was great! She was very informative with her updates and sent great pictures during her visits. Having a new puppy, she put my mind at ease! I wiii definitely be asking Lori to care for our babies again!”
“Very friendly and a fantastic pet sitter! Lynn went above and behind to come out and meet our dog ahead of time and to send multiple videos and photos while we were away so we could see how he and our cat were doing! We only needed someone to let the dog out and make sure he was fed, but she stayed a bit and played with him so he wouldn’t be lonely. Thank you!”
About: I am very patient and treat every dog like they’re my own. I will give them a lot of love and respect. Thank you !! I have a lot of extra free time and will be willing to make some time for your doggies!! Whenever you need me:) thank you!! I have a huge green grass area in front of my house, a great backyard at my gma’s house and a great neighborhood for walks!
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since age 12. I have taken many dog training classes and understand dogs’ needs and body language. I am a therapist so I have a good understanding of behavioral principles and understand how to be patient while building trust. I require a meet and greet before confirming a booking so your dog is familiar with me/my house and we can ensure they get along with my dogs. I work from home full-time, and typically take a break every 3 hours, at which point the dogs are let out into the fenced-in backyard. I can walk dogs in the morning (around 8 or 9) and/or the evening (around 5 or 6). I have a fenced-in yard and two very friendly and easy-going dogs (50lbs and 75lbs). I am able to crate dogs if needed (you provide the crate) or separate dogs in different areas of the house if any dogs need a break from the others. As I view dogs as part of the family, they are allowed on furniture and beds and receive plenty of attention and snuggles.

Taylor was great! She took excellent care of our dogs, making sure they had their morning feedings and even sitting on the floor with them to ensure they didn’t eat each other’s food since they’re on different diets. She gave them lots of love and attention, and the girls were always excited to see her—tails wagging every time she arrived. She also brought in our mail and packages, which was greatly appreciated even though it wasn’t expected. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and felt loved while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Taylor and would gladly use her again in the future! 🐾💕
First time using Lauren and was happy with her care and attention to our two dogs. She walked and played with both dogs, especially our younger one who needs more exercise. She kept in regular communication, sending messages when needed, and providing pictures. The dogs were fine and the house seemed in good order when we got home!.
Dana was great with my animals. She came over to meet them prior to the visit and was so good with them all, including the cats. She played with our dog and he liked her. She was prompt for walking him and later checked in to see if he needed another walk before we got home. I will definitely be using her again to care for my fur babies.
Elena was fantastic with our kitties. She did all that was asked of her and when we returned home after a week away, our cats were very indifferent to our arrival home which shows us they were well taken care of and given lots of love in our absence. We will definitely be using Elena again to watch our fur babies when needed!
