“Carson was very patient with me as I sorted out my schedule. She came highly recommended from the references she provided. She cared for my elderly dog, Penny, including administering a complicated regimen of medication. I would hire her again!”


“Kamyrn was fantastic watching our 3 year old lab Whitby over Thanksgiving break while we visited family states away. She provided great updates throughout the trip and was wonderful to work with. We are excited to continue working with Kamryn and already have booked her services again next month.”


About: I’ve taken care of fur babies since I was 14. I grew up with a loving red nose pitbull, Raja, who was my lifelong friend. When she passed away we had two blue nose pit bulls ~ Zuma & Chinx. These babies were so loving, protective , fun, and crazy. I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. So I want to treat your fur babies the way I would my own. What I offer is love, compassion, kindness, and TREATS!! I am currently a full time student and mom! I do this in between my school load and volunteering at my little ones school. So, I can handle the work, provide love / support, and send cute fur baby mail!! 🐶🐱 I would treat these babies like they are my own, which means an experience that is unique. These animals will be treated with the upmost love, respect, care, and devotion. You need to have no worries with me!

“Chenelle was really great with communication! She sent lots of photos and videos during her stay and took good care of my boys. Would recommend!”


“Emma did an amazing job taking care of our almost two year old pup. She clearly has a natural ability with animals and put my mind at ease from the moment we met her. She was great at absorbing and following our directions and was very communicative during our trip, sending lovely updates and photos. Our dog was clearly and well cared for throughout and we have already booked Emma for another getaway. Very happy to have found her!”


“Raiysa was great with Ekko! She listened to everything we asked from her, and Ekko was really relaxed with her. He even ate and he never eats when we’re gone!”


“Tenielle took great care of our two dogs in our home while we were away for 3 days. She was highly responsive, prompt and most importantly our dogs loved her. We look forward to working with her again!”


“I can’t recommend Erick enough! He watched my dog Shadow over a long weekend and was truly incredible from start to finish. Shadow can be a bit reactive with other dogs and kids, and Erick took the time to meet him beforehand to ensure a good fit. They hit it off right away (the treats definitely helped!). Throughout the stay, Erick was super communicative and responsive, giving me peace of mind while I was away. He went above and beyond- taking Shadow on long walks through our local park, keeping up with his medication, sticking to his feeding and potty schedule, and giving him plenty of playtime and attention. He even used some paw balm on Shadows paws after long walks to keep them nourished and left some for me to use as well. I also came home to a tidy space, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and all-around amazing sitter, Erick is your guy. Shadow is already looking forward to his next stay!”


“Kamila is the best! Me and nenes consider her family at this point ! She made my dog feel very comfy and played with him.he’s getting older so it does make me feel better knowing he’s getting excersize .”


“This was Naomi first time with Spartacus. She has the patience of a saint and has a lot of knowledge about animals. She gave me some great tips for Spartacus and has a wonderful personality. We felt very comfortable with having her in our house and look forward to her helping us with our fur baby in the future!”


About: I have cared for cats and dogs on and off since I was 10. Friends and family members have trusted me with the care of their pets. Presently, I am available 7 days a week. I provide stimulating, loving care for your fur baby. I can care for up to 2 pets per day, or as my schedule allows. Right now, I do not have the ability to care for pets in my home. Any care that I give will have to be public or in the client's home. I am fully insured and bonded for your peace of mind.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with two years of hands-on experience working in a private pet sitting business—learning everything from body language and behavior to positive reinforcement training. I specialize in the playful and misunderstood. With a background in healthcare for the elderly, I bring a ton of patience, empathy, and intuition to my work—whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between. I’m passionate about building trust, keeping things fun, and creating a little community through wagging tails and happy purrs. I am available every weekend from Friday evening to Sunday. I am also available weekday evenings @ 6PM or later for drop-ins and walks. House sitting can be any time as long as your fur baby is safe and adjusted to being alone during weekday business hours (9-5). I have my own car and have been driving for nearly a decade. I can no longer have my own pets due to apartment rules, so I’m more dedicated than ever to care for yours. I can make the most of your living space or explore your neighborhood and local parks.

“Maria was a wonderful dog sitter. This was our first experience with her. She has a very easy going disposition. We could tell how she loves being around dogs. And Jax responded nicely. We have never left our boy for such a long period of time. Her daily text messages and pictures allow us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We were totally at ease. She was also very attune to the house and tidied up. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I plan to use her again and would absolutely recommend her.”


About: I grew up with many different breeds of dogs and my love and passion with them is obove and beyond. I have bathed, cared and always made sure their nutritional needs were met. I always make sure the dogs or puppies get the propper exercise, hydration and well rest that is needed. When your dogs or puppies are around me they will have around the clock care with amazing comfort. I charge my services upon the breed and if special care or instructions are given. for all care that is given, please keep me posted about aggression. I will still service your pet, depending on what extra service is required, may be an upcharge. I also do pick ups & drop offs with fur buddies. The charge is based on where is location.. Sincerely I have alot of time to love, care and give the dogs or puppies much needed exercise. I am available weekdays, weekends and all holidays. I care for pets in my home just as close as a family member. Always follow their eating habits as well as exercise that follows. Always have the most well comfortable resting zone for all pets.

“Caroline was absolutely amazing with our girl, Daisy. She sent us photos and videos so we could see her while away. Daisy clearly loved being cared for by Caroline! Highly recommend and will definitely book Caroline again!”


“Amazing person. Gentle, kind and caring with my pup. House sat and was respectful with my home, and left everything immaculate (not easy with a puppy who is still house training!). Great communication and sent lots of pic too!”


“Rose is an amazing dog sitter!! Our dog recently had major surgery so we really wanted to make sure she was in good hands while we were out of town. Rose is incredibly knowledgeable about pet care as she works at a veterinary clinic and was really on top of making sure my dog stayed on her medication and exercise schedule as well as got lots of love and attention as she was recovering. Rose is very responsive, communicative, and a genuinely kind person who made me feel so comfortable trusting her with my dog.”

About: As a mom myself (both a dog-mom and human-mom!), I know how hard it is to leave your little fur baby behind to enjoy a fun vacation or business trip but I can assure you that with lots of photos and text updates that your little pup or kitty will be so happy in our animal-loving home! We are a vegan household so needless to say, we do not discriminate against any little or big creature (well, maybe just spiders!). Your pup will have the best care, all the couch snuggles, nice walks on grassy Pehlam Parkway dirt paths, fetch games and timely food/drink care! My 6 year old will endlessly read to him/her and my 3 year old will give them all the scratches! They are VERY good with all dogs big or small and understand the limits, they will never be left unattended with your pup! We lost our Golden Retriever and Coonhound this year and just looking to fill the small void in our home <3! So go on your trip and let us go on some fun exploring walks! Please message me with any questions! I currently work from home full time and am very active and willing to walk dog at any time in any weather... and weekends consist of some sort of activity with our children that would require us to be out of the house for 2-4 hours, no more. We have a 2 bedroom apartment with a very large living room and very large windows that dogs love to look out of! You are welcome to bring your dog bed, we have plenty of space, and a nice dark hallway if they want some peace and quiet :)

Yazmine A.

“Yazmine has been an absolute blessing as a dog walker for my furry family member. From the very first meeting, it was clear that she genuinely loves and understands animals. My dog, who is usually shy around new people, instantly warmed up to her, and that alone spoke volumes about Yazmine's gentle and caring nature. She is always punctual, reliable, and communicative, keeping me updated with photos and notes about their adventures together. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such loving and capable hands. Yazmine goes above and beyond, ensuring my pup not only gets a good walk but also plenty of playtime, attention, and care. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine connection with animals make her one of a kind. I can’t recommend Yazmine enough to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family!”

Emma is an incredible dog sitter. She is super confident in taking care of anyone’s dog, no matter what. Our dog is new to the family, so he still has some things to learn, but she had no problem taking care of him in our apartment for three nights. She’s super communicative, and put our minds at ease, since this was our first trip away from him. I would recommend to anyone. Thanks Emma!

I can’t recommend Erick enough! He watched my dog Shadow over a long weekend and was truly incredible from start to finish.

Camilla was wonderful watching our dog Bella on our mini moon! She was super flexible and accommodating to our schedule and our little Bella adored spending time with Camilla. I would definitely book with her again!

Andrea provided the best care to my two kitties! She was amazing in giving updates, following instructions and immediately made friends with my girls, who don't warm up to strangers quickly!

We are so grateful to have found our furever sitter Lina! Lina stayed at our home for a week keeping our dogs safe, well exercised and happy. She volunteered to take them out on fun excursions and walks. She asked us insightful questions in order to get a full understanding of their needs and set our expectations. She’s so thoughtful and responsible and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was sure to include photos on a daily basis along with updates. We highly recommend Lina!

Cristin house sat for us for a week while we were away. She was wonderful and really went the extra mile. Would enlist her help 100%!!

Was very communicative and spent a lot of time focused on and taking care of my cats and playing with them. Sent a lot of update pics which I appreciated!

We are so happy we met Nicole to watch our 2 pups and cat while we were away. She handled our 2 big pups like a pro - they are not the easiest and are a bit on guard when meeting new people but she quickly put them at ease. She sent daily updates and followed our instructions perfectly. I am very happy that we have Nicole to trust with our animals!
Santos was so attentive to our Zeus! Zeus wasn’t feeling his best when Santos arrived, but he kept us updated throughout the day and made sure Zeus was well cared for while we were away. We’re so grateful!

Emily was super communicative and took great care of my young dog while I had to be out all day and evening. Looking forward to having her help me out again next week!

Genesis house sit for my 2 dogs and 2 cats while we were away for 2 and a half weeks. She sent constant updates every day and when my cat had an emergency she immediately called me and followed veterinary instructions on my behalf when we couldn’t come back. She made a follow up appointment with his regular vet, gave him his medication and was back to himself by the time I got back. She also bought toys for both the dogs and the cats while we were away and played with them all the time. They were very happy to be with her and I would definitely call her again!
