“Mary Kay is wonderful. We have a special needs dog that needs regular drop-ins at specific times because he has a medication routine. Mary Kay is who we rely on for help. She is dependable, communicative, and considerate. And she always goes above and beyond for our special needs pup. She even takes the time to give some love to our cats when she drops in. It’s clear she cares for animals. We couldn’t ask for someone better to entrust our little loved ones to. Thank you Mary Kay!”


“Randi was incredible. Very responsive and professional. You can tell Randi absolutely loves what she does. 10/10 stars!!! Roxy will for sure be wanting Randi as a babysitter again!”


“Heather was awesome. She took such great care of Sam and went the extra mile to make sure that my home was taken care of, too. She’s super prompt and courteous, will definitely be reaching out to her for future trips. Thanks, Heather!”


“Avery was great, she gave me updates and shared photos of her time spent with Bailey while I had work commitments, giving her treats and belly rubs. I highly recommend Avery and won’t hesitate if I need her help again soon : )”


“Erica was very responsive, stayed on schedule, and sent lots of updates which made me feel very comfortable knowing our pets were in great hands. Definitely recommend!”

“Sage brings such a warm and loving energy! This is the first time we’ve had anyone do a Drop in visit and my dog coco is obsessed with her! She was so prompt with communication, met coco a few days before and even dropped in to make sure him and I are comfortable. We walked back home with an extremely happy coco who looked like he’s had a great time!”


“Katherine took great care of my two cats for the weekend. She did drop-in visits to feed them and clean the litter box. She sent pictures of them each visit. And had great communication about when she would arrive and leave so that I could arm/disarm the alarm system. Will use again!”


About: Hi there! I've always had a soft spot for animals. Growing up, there were always multiple cats in the house, and when I was 16, my family adopted our first dog, who quickly became part of the family. Over the past five years, I’ve regularly pet sat for friends and roommates, caring for both dogs and cats for everything from quick weekend trips to extended stays up to three weeks. I’m experienced with a variety of pet needs, including administering medications, brushing teeth, and providing gentle, specialized care tailored to each animal’s routine and personality. I also recently adopted an adult cat who is the absolute love of my life, so I fully understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry companion in someone else’s hands. I promise to treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I work from home from 12 to 4 PM. This leaves me open for morning and evening visits and walks! I am also completely open on weekends. I’m totally used to quirky and detailed feeding routines, so whether your pet’s a grazer or needs a whole production at mealtime, I’ve got it covered. I’m happy to feed, brush, cuddle, and keep them company. For dogs, I’ll make sure they get potty breaks, walks, some fetch if they’re up for it, or just a buddy to hang with so they don’t feel lonely. Every pet’s different, and I’m always happy to go with their flow.

“Erik did a fantastic job of caring for my kitties! He was able to accommodate a last-minute request, his communication with me was perfect, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he took with my cats and my home. I’ll definitely be calling him again! Thank you, Erik!”


“It's always a pleasure to have Ariel looking after our cats. She's very attentive to details and always gives thorough updates (and great pictures!) on everything. I can actually relax on vacation, knowing that she's got everything taken care of. We always come home to happy kitties! Thank you Ariel!”



“Jeannette was great with Spring Roll and would highly recommend her. Spring Roll is an old guy who does take daily medications and Jeannette was great tending to him. Got tons of pictures daily which made me feel at ease that he was being taken care of. Will definitely be using her in the future!”


“Naomi helped us out immensely by taking care of our senior kitty while we were out of town. She distributed meds with no problems and took care of our girl with love and care. I would recommend Naomi to anyone who needs reliable and earnest pet care and will book her again in the future. Thank you Naomi!”


“JJ took great care of our cat. This was my first experience with Rover and she made it very pleasant and worry free. My cat seemed to adore her as well and we really appreciated all the photos we got. We will definitely be using her again for our next trip.”


About: I've been around dogs my whole life, my parents raised seeing eye dogs, and I helped with training and daily care from a young age. In my teens, I helped my mom run a small dog-boarding business out of our home, so I'm used to dogs with all kinds of temperaments and routines. Over the years, I've often been the go-to friend for dogs that need a little extra patience or understanding, whether that's a shy senior or a high-energy handful. I recently lost my own pup, and while l'm not ready for another full-time, I miss having a dog around and love being able to offer that care and attention to someone else's. I'm currently working on fixing up my very old duplex so I'm home, tinkering around most of the time, and my schedule is flexible. If you're worried about your pet being in a construction zone, not to worry! The living area is safe and segmented from anything that might be hazardous yet intriguing to your pet. I have a partially fenced yard, perfect for supervised play. Living in midtown means that there's plenty of interesting things to smell along walks. I can crate your dog if needed, and you're welcome to bring their own if that makes them most comfortable. I have quite a few house plants in my space, so please let me know if your pup is prone to chewing on them and I will move them out of the way for their visit.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was old enough for my parents and neighbors to trust me! Grew up with multiple of my both in the house and naturally my first job was dog walking and house sitting around the neighborhood. Have experience working with older pets, puppies / kittens, and large breeds. Currently, live in the Corktown neighborhood with my Australian Shepherd Mel. If you see us out on a walk, say hello! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible to accommodate your ideal walking and / or care schedule. My Australian Shepard Mel and I walk around Corktown daily and am always up for spending more time outside! For Dog Walking: I follow your lead on your dog's tendencies / preferences. I adhere to your preferred routes and instructions regarding leash etiquette, avoiding off-leash situations unless explicitly discussed and approved. If your dog enjoys canine company, I'm happy to bring my Aussie Mel along, who loves walking with friends! If your dog likes playing ball / frisbee, happy to discuss how we can accommodate that as well. For In-Home Pet Check-ins: I pay close attention to your pet's behavior and appetite, reporting any concerns to you immediately. I ensure fresh water is always available and clean up any messes promptly. I prioritize respecting your space, leaving it just as I found it.

About: I have raised 4 puppies of my own until healthy old age. From my Jack Russell, German shepherd, Australian cattle dog mix, and Golden shepherd mix. Each have very diverse dispositions and needs for exercise and diet. Hopefully we can work on a consistent plan for their care while you are away. My day typically starts at 7am and ends in the evening hours at 10pm. I welcome conversations and appointments throughout the day. Ask me for a regular schedule to ensure I handle all of your pets household needs. I like to keep a clear and hygienic environment to ensure that pets have a healthy, safe and stress free environment. Keeping things where they are is important to ensure they are not seeking something they need to stay happy.

Christian G.
“Christian is excellent with dogs and cats. He has been a dog & cat lover his whole life - he grew up with dogs, cats and many other critters. He likes to walk and hike with his own Aussie Mel and can easily accommodate any walking or hiking pace for any other dog (young, old, handicapped). He understands dog behavior and can easily adapt to any dog's personality. Christian is also very reliable - something I very much appreciate with dog walkers! Your pet will be in very food hands with Christian.”
