“My partner and I would absolutely hire Emerson again. He was on time, professional, and Jelly took to him instantly. Throughout our trip, he communicated regularly and was incredibly patient with Jelly, especially when she was testing him in the beginning. He won her over quickly, and from that point on, the entire stay went smoothly. We never had to worry about Jelly—she was clearly in good hands. Emerson followed every instruction, so there were no accidents or issues. When our flight was delayed, he reassured us without hesitation that he could stay longer and continue caring for her, which was such a relief. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. What stood out most was how laser‑focused he was on Jelly’s needs and his demeanour was kind and compassionate. That’s exactly what we needed, and he delivered it with care and professionalism.”
About: Hi there! My name is Lauren and I love all fur babies big and small! I have been an animal lover all my life and enjoy spending time with them as much as I can. Ever since I was a young teen, I have been an avid dog walker in my neighborhood, trying to make some extra cash but also getting to spend time with dogs as I did not have my own. Since then, I have been cat sitting for the last 5 years for my family and friends when they go out of town. In most recent years, I have been dog sitting for my coworkers on the weekends. Many of my coworkers have dogs and bring them to our pet friendly office. I have become quite popular with the dogs at the office as I love to take them out and play fetch in the grass space outside. I work Monday - Thursday until 4:30 pm but I am home by 5 pm. Fridays, I am available after 12 pm. I also have open availability on the weekends. I have 2 cats of my own who enjoy their own company, but I am very happy to pet sit in your own home if you are comfortable! I will guarantee that your pet is safe when outdoors whether that be on a leash or within the safety of a fenced yard.
“Adrienne is an excellent dog sitter, I'm glad I hired her for this past weekend at my place. I was even gone a little past what I quoted for time frame and she was incredibly understanding!! Chance warmed up to her right away which is always a great sign - and I felt at ease when I was gone. Will definitely hire her again!”
“Gave excellent care and attention to our dog, including giving needed heart medication. Appreciate her sending videos of his walks and play time. Kept our house neat and clean.”
“Mary was amazing with our dogs! She came to meet them ahead of time, asked questions about their routine, and made her time with them as seamless as possible. Mary has awesome knowledge of dogs and went above and beyond to help them feel at ease while we were gone. We also appreciated how she kept us in the loop throughout our trip, and she sent us so many sweet pictures of our pups. We couldn't recommend Mary highly enough!”
“Gabe was communicative and kind and caring with estella, she had an unexpected upset tummy and they went above and beyond to take care of her. I hope to work with Gabe longterm.”
“Biiftuu was an excellent dog sitter. She clearly took good care of my little Aussie poo. She sent good pictures and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.”
“Olivia was great-super attentive and always quick to respond. And was really flexible with my crazy holiday schedule, which was very appreciated. Looking forward to having her stay with Carl again soon!”
“Our dog loved Jade, and it was his first time being with a new adult. She came and met the dog first and was super punctual and great with our dog. Clearly a pro at this!”
“Grace did an amazing job taking care of our pup over the holidays and even gave her extra love on Christmas for us! She was very responsive and it was so good to know we had a caring and kind person taking care of our buddy :)”
“Leaving our energetic standard poodle with Jessica felt like we were leaving him with a close friend. We were away for two weeks and we didn’t worried about him once. Jessica kept in touch just the right amount and from her texts and photos we could see that Charley was get plenty of exercise and love and he likes a lot of both. We and Charley look forward to having her dog sit again.”
“Robert was super accommodating for a short-notice weekend with my pups & cat. He was super communicative and took great care of them all! Would highly recommend Robert!”
“Wow... Chris is an outstanding dog sitter. He came over to meet Waylon prior to agreeing to watch him. He stayed at our house and was with Waylon 100% of the time. While we were gone he walked Waylon twice a day, sent videos and pictures while we were gone. Come home to a very tired pup! We will use Chris again for all of our dog sitting needs.”
“Oliver did a great job taking care of our dog and cat while we were away! They were very attentive and gave us constant communication and plenty of photo updates on how they were doing! Would recommend and book again!”
About: Raised on a farm in Brazil, I've been taking care of animals since I was 12-14 years old! Since then, with my family, I have taken care of many beloved animals rescued from the streets in Brazil. Now I take care of my new love, Olivia - she is my service dog, so I had to learn techniques for behavior and walking! I am currently dedicate to study English at the University with daily classes in the early morning only. So, I have plenty of available time and flexibility to walk and play with your pet during the rest of the day! I live in an apartment with Olivia and my husband and we have space to receive your pet friend! We live near several parks and every day I go for a walk with Olivia in some of them. It's a lot of fun :)

Emily was an amazing care taker for my dogs. They are a little extra, like most dogs are lol. And she took good care of them and all their quirks. She communicated often, sent photos and videos and walked and cuddled them like they were her own. I recommend her for the care of your fur babies and hope to have her again in my home to stay with Otis and Myla 🐶❤️
Rachel took such phenomenal care of Kody. She sent regular updates and pics which helped us know he was in great hands and she kept Kody booked and busy, which helps tire him out so he's less worried about our absence. Rachel was a wonderful sitter who I'd absolutely book again!
This was our first time leaving Tilly home on a short weekend trip and Madd made everything so easy for us and did a wonderful job caring for her and our house while we were away. We got thoughtful updates and photos and a homemade snuffle ball (!!!) for our puzzle-loving dog. We really appreciated being able to meet-up prior to the stay, and it was a gift to be able to have an amazing dog whisperer take care of Tilly!
Rachel took care of our two pups and cat for a little over a week, and because we’ve hired her now several times, I didn’t worry at all - even when there were some tummy problems, I knew she’d take the best care. Our pets are super sweet and gentle and the extra TLC she provides is exactly what they need!
Oliver did a fantastic job with my dog Roux, and I would absolutely book them again! They watched Roux at my house over Memorial Day weekend and everything went great. They were communicative (sending multiple photos and updates each day), respectful of my space, and I came home to a very happy dog! Roux, who is an anxious dog, took to them immediately. I hope to have them as a frequently used sitter going forward!
Hallie was great; she was very flexible with the booking when I needed to make adjustments because our foster puppy was adopted right before she came to stay. She was very communicative and sent pictures and responded to me quickly. She even had painted a picture of our girl as a little gift! ☺️
Emerson was an amazing sitter for our two girls. I got daily updates, came home to a clean home and didn’t worry one bit while we were away. We came home to two very happy doggos and will definitely book again. Thank you for taking such good care of our girls and making it so easy to enjoy our vacation. We appreciate you!
Grace was wonderful with our dogs and helped them feel completely at ease while we were away. She stuck closely to their routines, communicated consistently, and clearly cared about making them comfortable and happy. She was also incredibly kind, respectful of our home, and an excellent house guest. We would absolutely hire her again!
Victoria was wonderful while watching our dogs! She was communicative and shared videos and pictures of our pets. We knew our pups were safe and well looked after. Highly recommend Victoria if you are looking for the best care for your fur babies!! Would absolutely use her again!
