“Isabella did a great job taking care of our puppy Riley! She was very good with bonding with him even though he's very shy. She also does a great job communicating throughout the visit. I look forward to having her care for Riley in the future.”


“Rachel was an excellent with our senior dog. We received regular and detailed updates and pictures throughout the week. We knew our dog was in good hands with Rachel from day one. She will be our first choice for any future trips.”


“Monique did a great job taking care of my two cats! She was very personable and communicative. She checked in during each visit while I was out of town and shared updates about how my cats were doing.”



“Haven did a great job with our cat Mr. Bean. This was the first time we had left him at home alone since adopting him from the humane society. He was shy with her at first as expected, but he warmed up to her quickly and was following her around and letting her hold him like a baby by the time we returned. She sent us updates and photos from each visit and followed my detailed care directions to a “T.””


“Kirby has been great helping me with daily let outs while I’m at work this week. She even went out of her way to schedule a meet and greet since my dog can be a little anxious. Highly recommend her!”


“Kyla did a great job looking after my cats. It was easy to set things up, she arrived as scheduled, communicated well throughout, and my cats liked her too.”


“I’m so glad I chose to book with Devinder! I’ve been blown away by his responsiveness, flexibility, communication, and clear love for pets :) He’s very professional, but also comes across like a friend who’s always down to help you out and care for your pets like they’re his own. I trust him with my pets for the long haul!”

About: My first business venture, in elementary school, started with posting flyers in my neighborhood for my dog-walking business, to prove to my parents that I could take care of a family dog if we were to get one. It worked; we got our first family dog, and have been a dog family ever since! Now I have my own golden retriever named Koa who is the light of my life, loves coming with me anywhere he is allowed, and has yet to meet a stranger. I always have a surplus of love to give, especially when it comes to animals, and my post-pandemic job now provides me with plenty of flexibility. Let me love on your fur baby, too! My job is very flexible, so it’s easy for me to add things to my agenda day-of. I enjoy the spontaneity and adventure of this side-hustle. When you’re not home, your dog misses you. I’m just there to make them feel safe and connected to someone in the meantime. I take that responsibility seriously.

“My dogs immediately felt comfortable with her from the start which means a lot to me. Very responsive and great with dogs. Can’t ask for anything more. Will use again for sure!”


“Sarah took great care of our cat!! She provided clear updates and lots of pictures. She was on time and kind enough to do a meet and greet before. Would definitely book with her again. Thank you!”


About: Hi, we are Maddy and Charlie! We’re lifelong animal lovers who recently lost our beloved dog to cancer. We got him as a puppy and have plenty of experience raising and training young dogs. We deeply miss having a dog in our home and would love the chance to provide your pup with a loving home away from home. Why Choose Us? • Safe & Comfortable Environment: We have a fully fenced 4ft backyard, perfect for playtime, and live in a quiet neighborhood ideal for peaceful walks. We're also close to Pole Green Dog Park for more outdoor adventures. • Flexible & Personalized Care: Someone will always be home to provide your dog with frequent potty breaks, unique feeding schedules, or just extra attention. Whether your pup loves lounging on the couch or prefers more active outdoor fun, we’re happy to cater to their needs. • Experienced & Trustworthy: We've both grown up with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including high-energy breeds. Since our last dog required medication, we’re also experienced in giving meds, even to stubborn pups. No need to transport a crate, as we have a crate available for their comfort. While our crate has a bed, feel free to bring one your dog prefers. We also have firsthand experience raising puppies and understand the patience, training, and love they require. We’d love the chance to meet your dog and give them all the care and love they deserve! We are currently booking for weekends only, as we both work full-time. However, we can offer flexible drop-off times on Fridays, with one of us available after 1:00 PM. For dog walking or drop-in visits, I work in the city and can be available during lunch hours. In our home, your dog will enjoy a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. We have a secure 4ft fenced backyard, live in a quiet neighborhood for walks, and are close to Pole Green Dog Park for outdoor fun. Someone is always home to provide frequent potty breaks, personalized care, and companionship. We also have a crate available for their comfort. With experience caring for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and medical needs, we prioritize your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being—and we’re happy to provide regular photo updates to keep you connected while you’re away.

About: As a lover of all animals you can trust me with the care of your small or big family member who deserves extra treats and love! While I have school and part time work, I love to care for animals and cuddle with my cats! My schedule is flexible and I would love to care for your animals! Trusting someone with an animal is hard and I am here to make sure your cat or dog always feels loved and safe while you are gone!

Contacted last minute and was able to fit us in. Very prompt, professional, and great communication.

I was lucky to find Sarah. She was very professional and my puppy really liked her. I will definitely use her again.

Kim is such a great Petsitter! She has taken care of our cat multiple times and is always on time and reliable, very good and communicating and prompt at responding, and so sweet with our kitty he is very shy and he loves her.

We are so happy that Jasmine was able to accommodate Roger when switching from boarding to drop ins! She made sure he had a lot of enrichment, and I he will be excited to go back to boarding during his next adventure to reunite with his doggy friends!

Kristina is the best and my dog absolutely adores her! I get lots of pictures and updates and my dog is always in a good mood when it’s a Kristina Day

Mengxue took care of my kitties when I was away on a long vacation. She was super thorough and helpful with the everyday routine. They seemed very happy with her and I felt reassured leaving them in her hands!
