“Lori was super reliable and a pleasure to deal with. She even helped coax one of my cats back inside the house after he escaped right as I was leaving for the airport. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again the next time I have to travel.”


“Kameryn is amazing! She goes above and beyond, very thoughtful, caring and really easy to communicate with. We are lucky to have found such a wonderful person to care for our pets. Can't express enough how grateful we are and we look forward to working with Kameryn in the future.”


“Karen, thank you for taking care of our cat! Our kitty is an unusual one in that she does her business outside like a dog, and Karen’s flexibility was appreciated. Karen must have the magic touch because the cat started drinking from the water fountain I’ve introduced her to every day for three months 😂 prompt visits and great photos. Thank you!”


About: I absolutely love caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages! During my time at Dogtopia, I gained invaluable skills in creating a safe, fun, and enriching environment where pups can thrive. I’m trained in recognizing and understanding each dog’s unique personality, play style, and comfort level—making sure every interaction is both joyful and stress-free. What truly sets me apart is the extra care and attention I give to making each animal in my care feel happy, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs an adventurous walk, a shy dog who needs gentle encouragement, or a senior dog who appreciates slow strolls and extra cuddles, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I’m attentive to both physical and emotional well-being—monitoring for signs of stress, fatigue, or overexcitement—and I’m skilled at balancing playtime with rest, so your pup goes home happy and content. With me, your dog isn’t just watched—they’re treated like a beloved family member every single day! Pet care is a joyful part of my weekly routine! Weekends & weekdays are fully open for boarding & daily care of your furry loved ones. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at ease. When I provide visits or walks at your home, I take time to keep your pet’s routine consistent—feeding at their usual times, following your exact instructions, and giving them the same love and attention they’re used to from you. I make sure they feel secure in their familiar environment, with plenty of play, exercise, and cuddles to keep them happy until you’re back. When pets stay in my home, they become part of my family. I offer a warm, clean, and friendly environment where they can relax, play, and enjoy constant companionship. I’m attentive to every detail—from cozy sleeping spaces to safe play areas—and I never leave pets unattended. I tailor my care to match their needs. No matter where I’m caring for them, your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I treat every furry friend as if they were my own, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hi there! I'm Erick , and I've been taking care of dogs since I was eight years old. My love for dogs began when my older sister received a Shih Tzu named Prissy, but honestly, Prissy quickly became my dog. From feeding and walking to playing, I was the one who cared for her. Our neighbors quickly noticed how well I took care of Prissy, and before I knew it, I was looking after their dogs on weekends. Taking care of dogs has always been a passion of mine, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for countless dogs, learning their unique personalities and needs. No matter how many times I’ve been bitten, I’ve never been mad—though I’ve shed a few tears! My deep love for dogs only grew stronger. As I got older, I worked a variety of delivery jobs, but I never stopped caring for dogs on the weekends. I’ve met so many wonderful pups along the way that I started carrying treats with me everywhere, just in case I ran into a dog who needed a snack or a little attention. Ask, and I’ll have a big bag of treats and water ready for your dog too! Throughout my journey, I've even had the chance to train a few dogs in fun tricks, including my own. My dog, Kairo, knows a variety of commands like "fetch," "sit," "stay," "spin," "paw," "bed," and even "whisper." Seeing the bond and communication between a dog and their owner is something I truly cherish. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about dogs, someone with years of experience and a genuine love for animals, I’m here to help. Whether you need a reliable dog walker or a loving dog sitter, you can trust me to treat your dog as if they were my own. Let’s connect and talk about how I can care for your furry friend! Right now I’m focused on pet care full time. I’ll be starting a school bus driver job soon for the benefits, but I’ll still have plenty of time before, in between, and after shifts to care for pets. Driving a school bus shows the responsibility and patience I bring to the job, and I put that same care into looking after animals. I’ll get on the ground with your dog, ensuring they feel comfortable and engaged. I provide walks at least four times a day, or more if needed, and make sure they’re fed two to three times daily—or as often as you prefer. Additionally, I have a male dog that I can bring along for playtime, as long as both dogs have up-to-date medical records for safety.

“Jorge took excellent care of our cat while we were out of town, and was able to fit her into his schedule without much advance notice. He was very communicative and helpful (he even vacuumed up some litter!) and I knew our cat was in good hands while we were away.”


About: During the 20 years of experience I have gained as a pet sitter, I have become someone who goes above and beyond what an average sitter will do. I adhere to specific guidelines set by the owner so that their pet receives the exact type of care they are requesting. I have experience with senior animals as well. I have administered prescription medications as needed and I am very timely. To choose me is to choose the "best of the best" in what you'll be looking for in a animal care provider! I am a dedicated pet sitter. I have open availability and I am very accommodating. Being able to provide these types of services for pet owners has become a passion of mine since my youth. I will be able to commit to my bookings and provide top tier animal care services to all who choose to request me. The animals I have cared for are always within my view. I follow the pet owners specific instructions for care so that they have peace of mind knowing their pet is cared for. I do my best to ensure that the pets have minimal disruption to their daily routine.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was about 14. Cats, dogs, birds, and fish included! Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had a natural love and empathy for all kinds of animals. They still bring me the same amount of joy today, and always will :). At the moment, I have a dog and a chinchilla whom I adore, and taking care of any additional pets will only add on to my joy. At the moment, I am studying from home so my schedule is quite open and flexible. I would be available for both weekdays and weekends! I have a very friendly dog at home that will keep your pet company if they need a companion. Everyone at home is also an animal lover, so your pet will be in great hands!

“Karianna was great with our pup! She helped us out with a drop in visit and was very communicative, and followed all of our instructions. We will definitely book her again!”

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 :)


About: Being a former mom to a Yorkshire Terrier, I understand the love and attention dogs need. I'm willing to make your dog feel comfortable, safe and entertained in whatever way unique to them. I find personal joy and relaxation in playing, walking and giving calming massages and belly rubs. Rooted in my own concern with safety for my own dog, I pay very close attention to detail when it comes to dogs including closely monitoring what they ingest as well as the environment in which they play. I'm a nurturer by nature, so I look forward to all of the doggie affection coming my way! Cats are welcome- I will love and care for your feline friends just the same! I am willing to care for and/or board more than one pet from the same household upon request. I'm available 7 days a week, late afternoons and evenings Monday through Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. I look forward to each day knowing that I will be able to connect and provide care with your pet during my afternoons and evenings, Monday through Friday from 3 pm and beyond (all hours Saturday/Sunday), although I'm extremely flexible and willing to travel! I'm available everyday, (including weekends and holidays) all hours in July & August. As a former dog mom, I'm super vigilant and take all safety precautions to keep pets safe including keeping a clean, obstruction-free space and implementing any requests you feel will keep your pet even more safe. I only use products, toys, treats and food approved by the owner. I myself have a sensitive nose, so my space is fragrance free in case your pet has allergies.

About: For many years I’ve looked after my family’s pets, I’ve had 3 dogs and 3 cats whom lived long and pampered lives. Neighborhood pet sitting and extended family’s trips, I was always there to look after their fur babies. I’m a full time college student with a flexible schedule looking to take care of any and all of your pets needs. Whether you want a sitter for a day or a few weeks, I can accommodate. Weekends or weekdays I can make myself available within a reasonable time slot for the occasion. Whether pets need to be crated before bed or their meals need special attention I’ll make it happen. Any specifications my client deems necessary for their furry friends is on my agenda.

About: I've had all types of dogs in my life and currently am a grandmother to my son's dog, who I care for weekly. I also walk dogs in the neighborhood.

Karen is the absolute best. She has been looking after my two cats for a couple of years now. She goes above and beyond every time. My cats both love her - even the super skittish one who doesn’t trust many people. I definitely recommend Karen. She is professional, friendly, and trustworthy. We are lucky to have found her.

Kamila was beyond amazing in taking care of our three bunnies and cat! It's such a gift to have peace of mind when traveling and to know that our fur babies were not only cared for but also loved. Kamila is a true animal lover and went above and beyond in her responsibilities. We came back to a sparkling home with all of our little ones beautifully brushed and content. We couldn't recommend her more and look forward to having her take care of our fur family on all our future trips!

Kimberly is so kind and took great care of our boys while we were out. She was willing to learn how to give our cat Frankie his insulin injection and was so careful and communicative with us throughout the whole process to make sure she got the dose just right! Frankie and Pablo were both happy and well taken care of when we got back home and we will definitely ask Kimberly to help us again in the future.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jocelyn went above and beyond to care for our two pups while we were away. Her daily check-ins and photo updates truly put us at ease. We could see how happy, comfortable, and safe our girls were in every picture. She followed all of our instructions closely and was incredibly flexible throughout the entire stay. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and her calm, attentive approach made a world of difference. We’ll definitely be using her again, she’s officially our go-to dog sitter!

Can’t say enough good things, but I’ll try to keep this brief. Symba is equally responsible and personable (please note: due to timing we were never able to meet face-to-face, and yet this is the wonderful impression he left!) He was perfectly communicative without it ever feeling excessive. I never once worried about my cats, they were obviously in great hands. Most impressive: my EXTREMELY shy cat warmed up to him almost immediately, as proven by the plethora of pictures he sent 😍

I have a 98lb pitbull "breed ambasador" Saint Bully. and his 78lb pitbull baby brother Dover- the- devil (with strangers). He's Extremely terrirtorial and agressive with strangers. Santos has great energy and body language from the minte he arrived, on time, for both meet and greet events with me. Dovie warmed up to him right away. Santos is alert to potential dog parent concerns, hes communicative, responsive to texts, and we worked out a special approach for his first 1-to-1 On the 3rd time I booked him for his first solo, (after two sucessful intros with me) He arrived on time, and it went seemlessly. My dogs are well trained, but theyre 180lbs together and dont make good decisions without alert and proactive supervision that I believe Santos will provide.

Stellar cat-sitting! This was our first time leaving our two cats for vacation without family who could watch them but Amanda made us and the cats feel comfortable while we were out of the country. I can tell based on the photos and updates that they really felt safe around her and we will definitely book her again in the future! Thank you Amanda!

Erin was very understanding and flexible. Our older cat is a little anxious so she tends to hide and Erin did a great job trying to coerce her to come out and eat which I appreciated. In addition, she was willing to work with us when our flight got delayed and we ended up being away for longer than anticipated. However, she was not as diligent as I would have liked with following the cat care instructions she had been provided.
