“Elizabeth was patient and understanding with my dog Day 1 was very anxious for me cuz my dog always has "stranger danger" alert on but it didn't take awhile for my dog to get used to her and they became best friends right away! She sends updates and very prompt/ attentive when there was issues with my dog. She definitely knew what to do. would 100% recommend 😀”

“Wow is the right word. She was amazing with Baby bean. Bean needs medication twice a day for her IVDD recovery and she did it flawlessly. Bean also had some tummy problems so Josefa went out and got some eggs and some pediylte for her. She was so sweet and got baby some toys and treats as well. I felt with safe that bean was being taken care of by an incredible and communicative care giver. She did daily updates two to three times a day. I got home by 1230 AM from my flightand she stayed without even being asked to. Will be rebooking her again and give her info to my coworker for her dog oyster. Thank you for everything!”

About: I’m a friendly and passionate animal lover looking forward to taking care of your pet. I have five years experience with walking dogs and taking care of pets. I’ll provide my own poop bags, treats and a leash if needed. I have no issue with filling any of your requests. I’m an efficient worker and capable of independently problem solving. I’ll send updates of your dog during our walks, house sitting etc. I’m looking forward to taking great care of your fur babies! Please feel free to communicate any of your question or concerns. Making sure your at ease while your pet is in my care is a priority. I’m currently working part-time. Mainly open availability for early morning walks or evenings as well. Communication is very important to me! I want to make sure all needs are met and respected. I prefer to offer my pet sitting services inside the owners home. I feel that the pet will be in the most familiar, safest and comfortable setting.

“Julie was absolutely AMAZING with my cat, Pywackett. He had accidentally scratched his eye and needed to take oral medication and get eye ointment 3x a day and I was so nervous being away for a week from him. However, Julie eased all of my anxiety and was patient, caring, and loving with Py while he was sick and I was out of town. Highly recommend Julie as a pet sitter!!!”


“Rebecca was amazing! She is incredibly responsible and patient and was great with my high anxiety pup. She sent lots of updates and photos and was super flexible. Will definitely use her again!”


“I could not be happier with Sara! This was my first time having a non-family member watch my dog while I was out of town and I was so nervous about it. I looked at a lot of options before deciding on Sara and am so glad I did - Sara stayed at my place and with Sasha for two weeks. She took such wonderful careful of Sasha and sent me multiple pictures and updates every day. Sasha clearly loved her and Sara treated her like her own, making me feel so at ease and letting me enjoy my vacation without worrying about her. On top of that, she left my apartment just as clean as I left it. I will definitely be using Sara in the future and am so relieved to have found someone I can trust! Could not recommend Sara more.”


“Susan recently sat for our English Bulldog, Albie, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provided. From the start, her communication was exceptional – she was prompt, responsive, and made coordinating everything a breeze. We tend to prefer frequent updates and photos to keep us reassured, and Susan was wonderfully accommodating, adjusting her approach to share regular updates. It was clear that Albie was in great hands, and her attentiveness gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Susan for anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
