“Joanna and Gilbert took very good care of Snowy. They were very mindful of his feeding and walking schedule. Joanna was also very prompt with communication which I really appreciate.”


“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”


“Asma is our senior anxious dog’s new bff! He’s always very happy and healthy when we pick him up, and Asma is a true professional - communicative, prompt, and friendly!”


“Sky was AMAZING! She sent a ton of photos and made me feel 100 percent comfortable with leaving Olive with her. I could tell immediately she was an amazing dog mom to her own fur babies and knew her stuff when it came to dogs. Olive can be difficult to walk with and Sky even got her to walk for her. Already rebooked. If you are looking for a dog sitter - Sky is great. She also was very understanding when I was running late and her communication is stellar.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and it ignited my passion to become a veterinarian—something I’m currently diving into with excitement! I adore animals like they’re my new best friends, and working with all sorts of creatures has filled my heart since I was a little girl. Now, getting the opportunity to do what I love feels like a dream come true! I’ve had incredible experiences grooming pets, administering medicine, and ensuring their daily needs are met—each moment is an adventure! I even got certified as a canine attendant, which was an amazing milestone for me! Plus, it’s not just me; my whole family joins in on the fun with pet sitting! If you ever worry about your furry baby when they’re in my care, put those fears aside! We are all passionate about providing love, respect, and the very best care for every furbaby we encounter. We’re dedicated to making tails wag and hearts happy! 😊 I’m currently a college student so having a routine for myself and my fur baby is a must in my books! I love to experience meeting new personalities with animals as I do people. Although I am young (I like to hang out with my friends of course) I still try to insert my pet into my fun through a safe manner. With me, there’s always room for a fur baby to tag along and enjoy themselves as much as they can. My family consists of a lot of kids and puppies so whenever your pet is here they are always on the go. I try to keep your fur baby as active as possible especially if they’re a high energy baby. Just know your baby is gonna be living a dream life in my care!

“Hannah is amazing! Very good communicator, sends lots of pictures, and is a great dog person. Her dog Ruthie is a sweetie and loves to play hard and nap hard. Highly recommend Hannah for any of your pet needs!”


“Katherine is wonderful! She was very flexible when we needed a last minute sitter for the day. Sends lots of great photos to keep you updated during the day. Definitely recommend!”


“Sarah and Brian were awesome w my slightly shy pup, AWoo, on short notice for a day trip I took. They arranged a quick meet and greet so I knew she would be comfortable and sent several photos over the course of the day while I was away. AWoo seemed very happy with them and their fun-loving pup Fitz. Would definitely have them take care of my girl again!”


“Silvia is everything I was looking for in a pet sitter: kind, communicative, and responsive to my needs! Plus, she has lots of fantastic experience with dogs, so I knew my pup was in good hands!”


“Amanda was very accommodating and communicative. We have an 11 1/2 year old, overweight beabull. Amanda took great care of her. Amanda was friendly, has her own dog, and we knew our dog was in good hands. She also sent pics of our dog during the stay. Thanks so much Amanda!”


“Linde was fantastic. Our normally anxious pup was calm and happy when we picked him up. He seemed to have had a great time hanging out with his new friend. We appreciated the photos Linde took too!”


“Jason agreed to watch Charlie, our senior citizen dog, at the last minute. Charlie seemed to have a really great time with him. When my wife picked him up, he had a real pep in his step, which is always a good sign. Jason was very responsive, flexible and understanding. We will certainly use him again.”


“Maia was a great dog sitter!!! She was very communicative, which is super helpful for an anxious dog mom like me. I felt very comfortable with Jude in her care and would definitely book again!”


“Gil was great watching our pup for the day! Very responsive, friendly, and flexible with our somewhat up-in-the-air schedule. Would definitely recommend Gil to others and look forward to rebooking next time we are in need of a sitter.”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my sweet mini poodle, Lola. She’s five years old, incredibly affectionate, and gets along great with other pups — calm, gentle, and always happy to make a new friend. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have constant care, attention, and all the snuggles they could want. Whether it’s lounging on the couch, playtime, or relaxing in a cozy sun spot, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home. I’m most comfortable caring for small to medium-sized dogs, however I have also taken care of my sisters large yellow lab several times. I’m also experienced in giving medication such as pills or eardrops if needed. Lola and I are always out and about — from the farmers market to lunch dates with my husband or quick shopping trips — and I’d love to bring your pup along (with your permission, of course!). If your dog prefers staying home and relaxing, that’s totally fine too — I’ll follow their routine and comfort level. I also enjoy long walks and staying active, so if your dog has energy to burn, I’m happy to make sure they get their daily exercise and enrichment. More than anything, I understand how much your dog means to you — I’ll care for them like one of my own, with warmth, love, and lots of attention. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. Since I work from home full-time, I’m always around to give your dog the attention, love, and structure they need throughout the day. Walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddle sessions are all built into my schedule. I naturally plan my day around the needs of my own dog, and I’ll do the same for yours — whether they need extra playtime, quiet snuggles, or medication on a schedule. I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment that’s cozy, clean, and fully pet-friendly. Your dog will have free rein of the home and will be treated just like family. Our own dog, Lola, sleeps in bed with us — and we’re more than happy to have your pup snuggle in too! If your dog needs more space or prefers a quieter environment, I can sleep in the guest room with them while my husband and Lola sleep in our primary bedroom. I want your pet to feel as comfortable and safe as possible. I’m also happy to crate your dog if that’s what they’re used to or prefer — I’ll always follow your routine and care instructions closely to make sure your dog feels right at home.
