“Danielle takes great care of my pups every time she visits. I get cute pics to see that they’re happy. And she helped me out when I forgot to take something out of the freezer, so she’s just an all around good person and helper!”


“Jillian was great with my skittish kitty. My cat warmed up to her fairly quickly when she usually hides all week. She’s very punctual and responds quickly. My place looked the same as I left it and my cat wasn’t starving for attention just happy to see me. She played with her and gave her lots of pets. Very good with animals”


“Ally is terrific! She’s very responsive and our dogs love her. She was particularly accommodating when our plans changed at the last minute, and we were grateful for her flexibility. I highly recommend her and will definitely ask her to care for our dogs again!”


“Hailey is the person you want your pets to see while you’re away. My boys immediately took to her and were happy to see her stop by. Hailey has such a warm and calming presence that made them both comfortable. I appreciated her communication with me to let me know how the visit was going as well as the videos and photos she sent over. This would have been a 10 star rating if this app had that option :)”


About: I have been taking care of animals for the better part of my life and have been exposed to all kinds of pets and temperaments. I have long term house and pet sit as well as drop in visits and walks. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs, as well as all sizes and breeds. I want to take care of pets simply because I love all animals and find so much joy in helping others. I have a flexible work schedule with plenty of free time and I would love to fill this time by caring for pets. I am around most days and nights to provide any help needed! I am a very organized and disciplined person and will ensure every task given to me will be taken care of. I value pets happiness as well and promise to give your pets extra play or cuddle time. I am not afraid of any breed or size and promise to show all dogs respect, love, and kindness.

“Katherine provided wonderful care for my dogs, with plenty of updates along the way. Huskies can be overwhelming, but she handled them with ease. 10/10 highly recommend. Will likely book again next time I go out of town.”


“Our cats love Brittany! She is incredibly attentive to them when she visits and seems to be very knowledgeable about how to care for and interact with cats. Thank you Brittany!”


About: Many years experience of potty and crate training puppies. I have raised a St. Bernard, Husky, 2 Pomeranians, and currently have a BichaPoo. I even was able to assist my Pom Coco when she gave birth to her son. It was a beautiful moment. My schedule is very flexible and most days I work from home. Plenty of time to spend with your pet. If I do have to go into the office I will be gone no longer than 5 hours. In the evenings my husband and 4 kids (ages 15,12,7 & 7) are home as well. I have a fenced backyard and a lovable BishaPoo to play with your fur baby. Pets in our home are free to roam around our home. They are one of the family.

“Kristen was amazing ! I found her to be highly responsible, reliable, responsive with outstanding communication skills. Most importantly, during her first meet up with Baby, I could tell that she was outstanding with animals because even my very shy kitty felt at ease enough with her to make a connection at once! I could also see straight off that she was caring about him, not only as a client, but that she has a genuine love for and ability with animals. And when she shared with me that she has four kitties and a dog she adopted from a person who had terminal cancer and adopted all the kitties bc she could not decid which one, well ..that was it for me! She has such a heart for animals that upon hearing that story I felt such confidence in entrusting my sweet kitty to her while traveling to visit my daughter even though my cat has health issues and is just special in every way as she is. Do not hesitate to hire this girl ..you will not be sorry ! And with that said, on that note, when I returned I could see the bond that had former between her and my handsome boy ! I just can't give her high enough marks! Thanks oh SOO MUCH Kristen .. With grateful love , Lisa and Baby .PS..She communicated on each and every visit .and provided better pics of my kitty than I ever have taken of him myself as he is camera shy ..! Don't hesitate ..she is an absolute doll and is the top notch best!”


About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets my entire life between having my own, being a part of FFA in High School, and working with animals professionally. I have experience in maintaining animal cleanliness, grooming, veterinarian assistance and puppy training. I currently have open availability. I am able to accommodate any schedule including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays. Whether its same day or advanced planning I am flexible and committed to providing reliable care as needed. I am more than happy to follow any schedule or rules you have set for your pet as well as provide updates during our visit.

About: I have experience with a variety of dogs, cats, and other animals. I love animals very much!! I don’t currently have any animals, so it would bring me joy to spend time with your beloved pet. I am a highly (emotionally) sensitive individual, and I pride myself on reading animals’ body language and cues. I am extremely patient (I am a teacher) and it’s extremely fulfilling for me to build relationships with animals. I would describe my personality as careful, deliberate, kind. During the summer, I’m very flexible! I volunteer a couple hours per week, but the rest of my schedule is flexible. Once the school year starts again, I’m usually available in the afternoons, or on weekends. In a client’s home, I am respectful of their space. I can follow any instructions given, and I am quite detail- oriented and cautious. I’m a double-checker by nature!

“Kelly was absolutely wonderful with our fur babies! We were very confident with Kelly's care to attention and detail in caring for our kitties thst we were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about our kitties. I would highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs and through Rover have done some dog walking! I currently own a 4 year old pup :) She enjoys playing and cuddling! I love caring for animals and taking walks! Weekends are best and I can do afternoon walks after school! During the week I am available after 3:45 and am willing to spend some time with your pup 🐶 I am willing to come meet your pup and become more aware of their routines to help make their time away from you more comfortable!

“Whitnee was able to come through for us at the last minute when our usual rover had to cancel. She was punctual, professional, responsive, and took great care of our two cats! Would certainly book with her again.”



“We absolutely adore Julie. She took her time and not only had no problem with our cat's semi complicated meal routine, but she sat with our very needy cat and gave her undivided attention while we were away. We will absolutely be contacting Julie anytime we are going to be away and need our pets to be taken care of.”


“Kyungmi Nadia took such great care of our cat while we were away! She started taking care of her when she was high needs right out of surgery. Great communication with us the whole time. We always came home to a happy, very well cared for kitty. She took the time to make sure her litter box, food, and water dishes were always clean. We had adorable pictures everyday, and she even brought our mail in! I really could not have asked for a better caregiver for our kitty!! We trust her 100% and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, and trustworthy sitter for their pet!”


“Repeat (and happy) pup! Ryan is consistent and we always come home to a very happy and well cared for pup. He is great with communication as always. This time i forgot to leave a couple things out today and Ryan remembered where I told him they were. Ty!!!!”


About: Hello! My name is Nayra! I used to volunteer at the local ASPCA in my hometown of Meriden, Connecticut! Recently moved here and want to make connections with more pets! I’ve always loved animals ever since a young age, my goal is to make sure animals in need of care or help is taken care of. Throughout my life I have always been attached to dogs and tried my best to help as many as I could. I’m a owner of a German Shepherd and a poodle that suffers from many complications, I miss them very much and I look forward to meeting other dogs. And I also look forward to making connections with new dogs, learning their personalities, and giving them the care/attention that they need! Dogs are just like people. They’re all different and require different types of care.
