“Eddie came over for the second time with very short notice and fed and walked out two cavalier spaniels. He took them on a 1-1/2mile walk, sent photos and wrote a positive report card. Eddie’s comments were friendly and caring— we can tell our dogs love having him over to care for them when we’re away from home. Eddie is terrific!”

“Scott is prompt, an excellent communicator and has taken such wonderful care of my two cats! I’m so grateful to have found Scott who has watched my babies on our last two trips!”

About: I am a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for large breeds, especially strong, energetic pups like German Shepherds, Huskies, and other working breeds. I’m comfortable and confident handling dogs who need a calm, steady leader — including those who may be reactive to other dogs, people, or environmental triggers. I also have experience caring for dogs with special medical needs. I have experience applying ointments, eye drops, and administering pills and liquid medicines. I understand that cats have unique personalities and routines, and I’m comfortable with everything from feeding schedules and litter box care to administering medications and giving space to shy or independent cats. I provide calm, attentive care and make sure every pet feels safe, respected, and comfortable in their own home while you’re away. I like to be transparent when I take care of other peoples fur babies and will often share updates via text with added videos and photos of the time I spend with your pet, as well as time stamped detail of feeding, playtime, and potty updates. Pet care is a planned and consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I organize my schedule to ensure I have dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, play, and companionship without feeling rushed. I build in flexibility to accommodate different pet needs, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends when needed. Because I plan my time carefully, I’m able to be reliable, punctual, and fully present for every pet in my care. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. In my client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and medications are handled exactly as instructed. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any behavioral or medical needs. For dogs, I focus on safe, structured walks, positive reinforcement, and calm handling. For cats, I provide attentive care while respecting their boundaries, keeping their environment clean, and offering affection at their comfort level. I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and leave detailed updates so pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Anne is the very best! She gave our pup a great visit, provided lots of pics of the fun they had together, and was so easy to work with! She was flexible and helped us out with a short notice request. I was at ease during a busy day knowing our pup was in good hands. Thank you Anne!!”

“Marisa did a great job watching our cat for us over the holidays. She was flexible, responsive and on time. Our cat is usually anxious and stressed out when we get back from trips, but this time she was calm and happy to see us!”

“Samantha was amazing with our two kitties, with their special requests and all. She is thorough and really cares about them. We had a few extra asks from her and she happily helped us out, Lucy and Junie appreciate it!”

About: Provided care and enrichment for all sizes and personalities of dogs, cats, rabbits, horses and other animals. Specializing in senior, large breeds and sensitive animals. My focus is making your loved one is safe and enjoys our time together. I enjoy dog walks but also cuddling on the couch with your loved one. Only need WiFi to work. By taking detailed notes, your pet will continue their normal routine with extra engagement and enrichment making sure they are safe, secure and well cared for. I love engaging with their personalities and specializing their time with me.
About: I have experience caring for my family’s 3 cats for over 12 years. I have administered medicine, cleaned litter boxes, and picked up after accidents. I can adapt to different personalities, including nervous and reserved. I also have experience with dogs as I cared for my cousin’s dog on weekdays in highschool, lived with a roommate’s dog in college, and also recently lived with a puppy and walked her regularly from 5 months old to 1.5 years old. I work from home so my schedule can be flexible depending on the day! I also have 1 hour lunch breaks from 12-1pm every day. I am available on weekends as needed. I can walk your dog, play with your cat, give an afternoon snack, or clean the litter box! I love petting animals and will provide the type of care they need.
“Aimee was great with my dogs! She showed up right on time, handled them confidently, and they warmed right up to her (treats definitely helped). This was just a prep visit for a longer stay, and I feel really good knowing they’ll be in her hands.”

“Such a great dog sitter! My dog is a senior dog with quite a few specific needs - meds, food, etc. Noah was so wonderful! He did everything I asked and more. I know my dog was in great hands and that he truly cared about her. Thank you for taking the stress out of leaving for the week.”
“Jessica did a great job with drop in visits to check on my cat. She was amazing with communication and reliable. I would recommend her and I would re-book her again!”

“Katie was amazing!!! I am so thankful to her!! She was super attentive to Shark and sent me lots of updates!! I felt super confident the whole time I was away and knew that shark was being taken care of! Shark loved Katie! She’s a bunny, so they can be picky about meeting new people and she took to Katie so well!! Would absolutely book with her again!!! ❤️❤️”

“Andrew was extremely communicative, very attentive to our cat Niles’ needs, he took a lot of pictures of our kitty to reassure us, and went above and beyond taking care of our cat. Book him!”

About: Hi, I'm Theo! I'm an artist and animal lover. I've owned dogs my whole life, I've been a pet sitter for 8 years, I've been a dog walker for 3 years, and I currently own a cat with a chronic illness. I'm a reliable dog sitter and dog walker and I can provide references if you would like. I can't wait to meet you and your dog(s)! I'm a recent college grad with quite a bit of time on my hands! I love taking walks around the neighborhood and seeing everyone's pets or just taking my cat out for some nice outside stimulation! I'm not afraid of double checking with you for any clarification! I want to make sure both you and your furry friend are happy and content. (I'm also not afraid to go to the vet if need be)
“Chloe was a superb dog sitter! We are so grateful she could stop in to care for our senior dog when we needed extra support. Would totally have Chloe back again.”

I had to be out of town unexpectedly and needed someone to watch my cats last minute - Maddy was the perfect choice and I’m so thankful to her for taking care of my boys! They were clearly so happy and comfortable with Maddy, I was able to be away and have peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with Maddy again when I need to go out of town!

Darwin did an amazing job with Gimpy and ensure that she was well taken care of. She’s a pretty shy cat and was able to warm up to him in the short time I was gone. He took a good amount of pictures and made sure the apartment appeared in order (in addition to what I had requested). Would 10/10 recommend!

Annika took such great care of our three cats and was an excellent communicator! Two kitties are medicated and all went well. Annika has such a calm energy which is so essential for us. Our super anxious boy, who normally hides when strangers are around, was the most comfortable we’ve ever seen him around someone new which makes me so happy! You can absolutely feel confident your fur babies will be in good hands with Annika.

Highly recommended! Ava was a wonderful pet sitter for our two cats. She was attentive to them and to our needs to know that all was well. She sent lots of pictures and made lots of notes showing she got to know the cats. She spent a lot of time at the house giving them attention. We will ask Ava to care for our pets next time we need help. 5 stars!

Sierra did a great job of showing up on time and caring for my kitty. I was really comfortable with her during our meet and greet, Peepers was too so I knew it would be a good fit. I will definitely look for Sierra’s availability next time I need to travel. Thanks!
