“Alyssa provided excellent service and communication during our booking. She was flexible when needed and accommodating as well. We will definitely look to rebook the next time we go out of town.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for most of my life. I love dogs and any animal in general. I have experience with puppies, rescues, senior dogs, and pet sat for a lot of friends and family. Thankfully no bad experiences. I would love to help keep your pet safe and happy. I work from home, my dog is always with me. The backyard is great for going potty and playing. The neighborhood is nice to go on walks. My backyard is not fenced but they won't be left unwatched outside. As long as the dogs are friendly there will be no issues at home.
“Jordan was great! Even though it was last minute, she came and met my cat before we booked with her and instantly made us feel comfortable having her in our home to watch our cat. Our cat took to her right away and she was so kind and loving to him. She was super responsive and provided a nice summary and photos of her visits. We will definitely book her again!”
About: Hello! There’ve been dogs in my family since before I was born, a hyper Brittany and the precious Cavapoo we have today. We’ve raised a parakeet, lizards, several fish. I’ve taken care of the family dog alone for days at a time, friends and neighbors’ dogs too. Here in college, I’ve even become a volunteer at non-profit Canine Companions to one day soon raise and train a service-dog puppy! I adore animals, any and all-your pet will never meet someone who’ll take better care of them (aside from their pet-parents of course!) I’m currently a full-time student, meaning I have a much more flexible schedule than most adults; I’ll have no problem taking care of your pet be it morning, night, or smack dab in the middle of the day! Your pet will be getting a full-time best friend when I’m with them, that includes all the basics like monitoring the water bowl and bathroom needs as well as someone for them to tug the rope with until they’re pooped!
“Kylie stopped in to bring my dog Patsy out when I had to work longer shifts at work. She was a great communicator and I felt very comfortable having her care for Patsy. I could tell Patsy loved her too based off how happy she looked in the photos Kylie sent! I would definitely recommend any of her services!”
About: Hi! I’m Caroline, a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities. I understand that every pet has their own unique quirks, routines, and needs, and I pride myself on providing loving, reliable, and attentive care that keeps them comfortable while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, medication, or just quiet companionship, I tailor each visit to suit your pet’s preferences. I also offer regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe and happy. I treat every pet like my own with patience, respect, and lots of affection. Let me know how I can help! I currently work in biotech at an office job during the day Monday - Friday with some flexibility to be remote a day here and there, so I am available to stop by early mornings (5-7am) or after work (3-10pm) on days I’m at the office. I am available any time on weekends! At your home, I will be respectful of your space and the way you cater to your pet and their needs. I want to build a relationship to get to know you and your pet and will treat them as if they were my own!
“Niusha looked after our cat while we were away for the holiday and we were very happy to see the many photos and videos that she shared of our kitty - he was clearly very well loved and taken care of!”
“Samantha was great! We recently adopted a very active and playful kitten. She did a fantastic job keeping him occupied and safe while we were away. Samantha was very punctual and had great communication. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of baby Leo. I missed him so much while I was away but knew he was in good hands. Leo hopes you’ll take care of him again next time I’m away. ❤️?⬛?”
“This was our first time having Megan watch our 2 cats and she went above and beyond. We have a temperamental cat who does not like strangers and Megan was able to win her over! She went above and beyond with photos, descriptions of her time, and the care she provided. We will absolutely be using her again the next time we travel!”
“Ann Marie was really great. She came and met us before hand at no charge and she helped us set a great schedule. Moreover, getting her daily updates with photos of our kitty made us feel so much better on our vacation, since we didn't have to worry at all about our pet.”
About: Hi! I'm a recent graduate who lives with a senior cat; I have a lot of experience with senior pets, special needs pets, medication administration, etc. I'm able to exercise with and play however your dog likes! I've been pet sitting and walking dogs for my friends and family (and Wag!) for over a decade (dog in the profile picture is my brother's dog Kuma!) Pets bring me so much joy and I want to help take care of them as a community effort :) I'm here to build trust, please ask any questions 🫰 I am a gig worker currently, therefore very flexible—request me and there's a high chance I'll be available! I'm around weekends and weekdays, my own cat has plenty of alternate caregivers. I would not be able to host pets in my home, but would follow any rules at clients homes to make pets feel safe and regulated :) consistency helps them and me!

“Absolutely Amazing! Tanya took care of our cat while we went to Spain for Christmas and New Years. She is extremely responsible, trust-worthy and really good at communicating! She even took out our trash for us! Would totally recommend to anyone. Thank you, Tanya✨?️”
“Zhao is truly WONDERFUL! She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, considerate, and trustworthy. She keeps us fully up to date with everything and sends the BEST updates with all of the photos and videos. She also stayed extra time with our kitties and did everything she could to make sure they felt safe and comfortable. We appreciate her so much and have already booked her again! 15/10, recommend!!!!!”
“Melissa went above and beyond for my 3 cats! They were immediately comfortable with her and she was so loving towards them. She was attentive to detail and gave great updates with pictures. I would love for her to take care of my cats again!”

Nicole did a great job taking care of my cats over the holidays! She fed them, gave Bindi a pill twice a day, and spent time hanging out/playing with them during each visit. She also sent updates and a ton of pictures every time she stopped by. I appreciate that Nicole was super responsive and asked questions whenever things were unclear. Thank you Nicole ☺️
Lucy was very receptive to what my cat needed. She came for 1 visit while I was out of state. She provided a meal, checked water, checked my cats litter, and sent a few photos. I also got a few screen shots from my apartments camera and saw that Lucy even brushed Zelish and played with her which was really nice. I felt happy knowing my cat was well taken care of.
Keaton was so great! He was timely, responsible, communicative, and so sweet with our two cats. I was anxious about leaving them for a few days but not only did they totally warm up to Keaton, he fully took care of every task. I was actually able to enjoy vacation! I got updates with videos and pictures and knew our cats were well cared for. Couldn't ask for anything more!
Cressida was terrific and I highly recommend her! My three cats loved her and well cared for by her over the course of five days while we were away. She was responsive, communicative, shared photos of the kitties every day, and follow all of the instructions that I had shared with her during an in person introduction ahead of our vacation. We will definitely hire her again for help when we are out of town!
