1. Julia D Y.
“Julia is fantastic with pets. I've seen how she's taken care of and fostered pets before including rats and cats, and she treats every animal with love and like a member of her family. She has walked plenty of dogs and petsit for me as well and she gives so much care and attention. Plus, she gives updates and pictures always. A+!”

About: Hello! I live in an extremely clean and comfortable apartment. I am available full-time to take care of your dog. I am seriously an animals-lover - they honestly make me so happy and I am so excited to have the opportunity to take care of your dog. I have taken care of 3 pets by myself including a dog and two cats for 14+ years. I always take time out of my day to give them a lot of love and attention. They are part of my family, and I treat them with great care, and I will definitely love your dog in the same way. Because I am available full-time working from home, I am able to provide dog boarding and doggy daycare. I live with my boyfriend who also works from home, therefore, he and I are going to give a lot of attention to your dog :) Throughout the stay, I will make sure to feed your dog, play with your dog, take your dog for potty breaks, and give all my love and attention :)
8. Ekaterina D.
About: I read a lot of books about cats and dogs, I have had cats and dogs of various breeds throughout my 33 years. I love cats and dogs, I can get along with them and want to work with them. I am in good physical shape. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine; it’s something I genuinely enjoy every day. I structure my time to ensure that pets receive plenty of attention and care. We start the day with long walks in the morning and evening, and I dedicate time during the day for play and pampering. It's important to me that every pet feels loved and happy in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I ensure that their needs are met with regular walks, feeding, and playtime, just as if you were there. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates with photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well-cared for in their familiar environment.
9. Susan K.
“Susan is one of the most trustworthy and responsible people I know. She loves animals and always ensures that they’re well cared for. I know that leaving your pet in her hands the first time can be daunting but she will treat them like she does her own.”
10. Steven P.
“This was our second time using Steven and he was just amazing yet again. He took such great care of our cats. Steven is always so quick and easy to message with, sends the best photos and takes such good care of your pets. He goes above and beyond. Cannot recommend him enough. Will always use Steven.”
11. Jessica C.
“One of my dogs is naturally introverted and tends to be quite reserved around strangers, often retreating to his safe space when unfamiliar faces are present. However, Jessica has a remarkable ability to connect with him in a way that others simply cannot. When Jessica is around, my dog is noticeably more at ease, often choosing to stay close to her rather than hiding away. This is a clear testament to Jessica's understanding and patience with animals. Jessica has been fantastic with both of my dogs and really understands how to connect with them. She’s friendly, reliable, and has a natural way with animals. If you’re looking for someone who can make your dog feel at ease and enjoy their walks, I highly recommend Jessica!”
12. Czejtania P.
“Czejtania took care of not one, but two of my precious little shihtzus and they absolutely loved her!! One is a newer addition and a puppy, so I was a little nervous with potty training and walking (as she hates walking) but Czej was patient with her and took her out frequently enough that she didn’t have accidents. I absolutely trust her to take care of my babies and she’s communicative/responsive unlike some other sitter experiences we’ve had. My dogs had a great time with her, she’s very warm and friendly and loving!”
13. Ellana G.
“Cat parents take note! Ellana is wonderful! Caring, on time, conscientious. My tough boy kitty Lenny LOVES her. She communicates everything immediately. She is my favorite. Your baby is in great hands with her.”
14. Victoria M.
“Victoria was the greatest sitter for our cat Franny! She was communicative, considerate, and showed so much care for Franny during daily drop-ins while we were away for a week. She played with her, sent great pictures, and even introduced her to a yummy new treat! Thanks Victoria, we hope to book with you again.”
15. Jacqueline M.
“jacqueline is a true pet lover. She takes great pride and caring for our two dogs. She likes to walk them feed them and bathe them. She gold standard as a relates to a pet walker and a true pet lover. I highly recommend Jacqueline for this job she will be an asset to your company.”

17. Kaitlyn M.
“Kaitlyn was so amazing with my kitties!! I would consider myself a fairly concerned pet parent and I always worry about my babies when I’m away, but Kaitlyn made me feel soo much better. She is extremely kind and conscientious and gives very detailed notes and photos! It is clear that she is very thoughtful in her visits and a true animal lover! Thank you!!”
18. Matthew B.
“Matt is an awesome guy who is great with dogs. Matt is dependable and can be trusted to handle both small dogs and big dogs. He has a huge heart for animals generally and I’ve seen him firsthand interact with many breeds of dogs. Matt is understanding and is well equipped to handle all dog needs.”
