“Alyssa did a great job with Zennor! I was very comfortable with her keeping me informed and wound up booking her for a 2nd time on the same day. I will happily have her back to look after Zennor again.”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs,Chickens and many other small animals. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering medications, cleaning homes and crates, grooming, and providing companionship. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and routines. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves long walks or a shy dog who prefers quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine by making it a consistent part of my schedule. Each day, I set aside time in the morning and evening to feed my pet, refresh their water, and clean up any messes. I also make sure to give them attention through walks, playtime, or simply spending time together. Weekly, I include tasks like grooming, deep cleaning their living space, and restocking food or supplies. By keeping a regular routine, I ensure my pet stays healthy, happy, and well-cared for while balancing the rest of my responsibilities. Make them feel as comfortable as possible. Offer them treats,food,and attention. I make sure the animals have plenty of room to run around and play,but also comfortable spots to sleep and eat.

About: I'm new to the pet service job, but I've owned two dogs since they were puppies. I have visited cats to clean their boxes and play with them, on behalf of friends that went away. I'm currently unemployed doing part-time jobs, so I have a lot of availability. I love both dogs and cats, and don't mind playing with them. I make sure my 6-year old Jack Russel mix, Finn, gets plenty of exercise and socialization. I take long walks in my neighborhood and enjoy taking him to the dog park.

“Kristin was wonderful! She was communicative and sent me some cute shots of my kitty! She was respectful of my cats needs and my instructions for her care. Kristin went above and beyond by taking care of my cats bowls, litter area, and the trash. It was as clean or better! The best thing I can say is that my cat was calm and happy when she saw me. It was like I was gone a few hours, not a few days.”


“Barbie has been doing drop in visits with Miller for several months now and I could not be happier with her exceptional service. She is extremely reliable and truly enjoys her time with my dog which I know he loves. I never have to worry whether or not he is being well cared for. I would highly recommend Barbie to care for your furry babies!!”


“Destiny was absolutely wonderful. I just got home from my weekend trip and found Kylo like I’d never left him :) Her communication is 10/10. Pictures and check ins were 10/10. She even took the time to come meet us before my trip. I hope she continues doing this because I can’t imagine having anyone else but Destiny.”


“Nisha is a terrific sitter! She does a great job taking care of my cat when I'm away. I never have to worry when I'm away on business because she's reliable, communicates well, leaves my place clean, and most importantly, my cat likes her! I can't recommend her enough! Thanks Niesha!”


“It was my first time booking through the app and I'm so glad I did! Kristin was great. We needed a short notice sitter and she even made time to meet my dogs beforehand! She sent me text updates throughout the weekend with each time she dropped by and sent me pictures of my dogs and what they were up to! Can't wait to book with her again!”

Jennifer P.
“Jennifer cared for my dog for 7 months, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a more loving, responsible, and dedicated caregiver. She treated my dog like royalty—feeding her high-quality food, making sure she was always groomed, brushed, and comfortable, and keeping her active and mentally engaged every day. She went above and beyond by teaching her several new tricks, showering her with toys, and always keeping me in the loop with frequent updates and tons of adorable photos. She followed every instruction I gave her without hesitation and was always happy to go the extra mile. On top of that, she was completely on the ball when it came to medical care—administering medication exactly as needed and taking her to the vet promptly whenever necessary. I had total peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable and loving hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own—with unmatched attention, affection, and reliability—Jennifer is the one.”

Heather W.
“My family (children and pets) love Heather. She has been watching my cats for years. She had a special relationship with my older cats. Now that they have passed, she is engaging and taking on our new kittens, who can be a handful even at 1 year old. They need to play and interact, not just sit and cuddle. I feel better and am able to enjoy our family's time away from home knowing that Heather is there to ensure our cats are happy and safe.”


Chloe H.
“Chloe is great with dogs! I have 2 dogs and she walked my GSP and she was great with him. She was giving him love and praising him. She has grown up with dogs so she has experience from low to high energy, and young to older dogs. She would make a great dog walker/sitter and is trustworthy!”


Sandra Z.
“Hi! Just wanted to say Sandra did a great job watching my cat, Luna. She’s super friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly loves animals. Luna usually hides from people, but she warmed up to Sandra right away. I’d totally recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Nicolás Torres Z”
