“Areana continues to be the only one who consistently gets our pup with separation anxiety to eat and exercise every day that we’re gone! He obviously loves her dearly and we’re so grateful we found her.”

“Duncan was a professional and responsible caretaker. He went above and beyond our expectations when he took care of our 2 dogs Honey and Pickles for two weeks. Before even starting the job, he met us in a freezing blizzard for a simple meet + greet, which I think immediately showed his dedication to the job. He also cleaned up around our house when the dogs were making a mess, not something that we asked him to do — but rather something that he proactively did. One of our dogs, Honey, has anxiety. Duncan even stood overnight on New Years Eve just to help her stay calm during the fireworks, which I believe is something your average dog caretaker wouldn’t do! He was also very responsive with text and sent us updates every day. I felt much peace of mind because I knew Duncan was taking our two dogs on 2 walks every day, feeding them on time, and spending some time with them too. I would definitely recommend Duncan to a friend and would rebook him myself!”

“Stephanie was amazing with Birdie. She was incredibly responsive throughout the stay and easily took care of any difficulties that arose. We could tell that Birdie loved Stephanie by the end of the stay, which made us very happy. She was also very thoughtful and considerate staying in our apartment!”

“Christina took such wonderful care of our corgi Gus while we were away. She was so thoughtful and kind, provided updates daily. We trust her completely and recommend her highly! Thank you for loving Gus like your own!!”


“Carrie was an amazing sitter. Attentive, communicative, and punctual. She went above and beyond to make sure my Bonnie was cared for the way I would take care of her. I will be rebooking with her for sure!”

“Rowan was great once again! She stayed with our dogs for the weekend and did a great job with both of them. She was an excellent house guest as well! Looking forward to having Rowan watch our pups again :)”


“Kayla is the BEST! She is so communicative and takes incredible care of my pets and house. She is very professional and punctual, and I never worry for a second when she is watching over everyone. Highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for the best sitter!!!”

“We had a great experience with Quanece and Malik as our pet sitters. From the start, they were incredibly detailed and attentive - taking thorough notes during our initial meeting and asking all the right questions about our pets (who are both on medications!). What stood out most was their honesty and communication during the stay. They were upfront when our dog didnt have an appetite the first day or so while we were away, which we really appreciated knowing. Their flexibility, especially when we needed them to stay longer, made everything so much easier. We’ll definitely be using them again!”

“Tina was so sweet and caring with Tolly. We felt very comfortable with her and appreciated how loving she was towards Tolly. We would absolutely book her again.”

About: I have worked with all kinds of animals throughout my life, learning to train cats and dogs on my own. I’m also familiar with exotic pets such as pythons and bearded dragons. I can comfortably administer different kinds of medications to most animals, including oral liquids and pills, sub-Q and IM injections, and topicals. Currently I am available as a full-time pet sitter for house-stays and drop-ins. I often sit for multiple houses at once, doing house-stays for one client and drop-ins for 1-3 others depending on the services and times needed per client. When I meet an animal for the first time, my priority is gaining their trust. I spend time casually observing so I can take note of their personality and physical forms of communication, but I don’t get too close or move too quickly until I’ve given the animal a chance to take me in as well. Once trust is established, we can move on to wearing leashes and harness, medication routines, playing, etc.

“Elizabeth is great! We have two needy pets, including an old, anxious dog with mobility issues and other special needs. Elizabeth was perfect with administering medications and and keeping up with regular physical therapy exercises. We came home to a clean house and two well cared for (though possibly disappointed Elizabeth was gone) pets. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth if you need someone to watch pets in your home.”

“Booked Stefan last minute and has my fingers crossed behind my back, but no need! Proactively Stefan made the effort to travel to meet my dog prior to booking. He was communicative and kind, will re-book certainly.”

“Leah did a great job watching Birdie and taking care of our house while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing everything was in good hands. We came home to a happy dog and a well-kept house, and we would absolutely recommend her to others.”

“Paulina is the best pet sitter we have ever had!!! She truly loved and cared for our fur babies just like we do and she sent us the cutest updates everyday. Even leaving my pets with family is stressful and my mind is never at ease, but with Paulina we were able to actually relax and enjoy our vacation because we knew how happy our pets were with her. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”


“Absolutely fabulous sitter who truly goes above and beyond. She is incredibly detailed, thorough, and very responsive. I returned to an even cleaner home than when I left and her care for my senior dog is so evident in the way he loves her. He hates to see her leave. Hands down the best sitter I’ve ever had, my only wish is I found her sooner !”

“Oliver is a top-notch dog sitter! He absolutely exceeded our expectations when it came to the level of dedication he provided for our dog, Jaxson. Jax has special needs and requires some extra levels of care. Specifically, he requires oral medication and a specific routine. Oliver was committed to following Jaxson's care requirements and made sure we were confident that we were leaving him in good hands. Not only did he provide amazing care, but he also exceeded our expectations when it came to communication. He left a kind note welcoming us home and letting us know how Jaxson's day had gone. He also left the house in perfect, tidy condition. Oliver is kind, smart, prepared, dedicated, and everything you could possibly want in a dog sitter. 10/10, I would recommend him to anyone, anytime! Thank you, Oliver, for taking such good care of our buddy! We hope to see you soon!”

“Bill was great with the boys. We can tell that they were very happy from the photos he sent. He took good care of the house. We will be booking him again.”

“Sieanna was so great watching our 5 month old pup for two days! Friendly, attentive to our puppy’s needs, and gave wonderful detailed reports with photos of their day. We will be using Sieanna again and would recommend her to anyone!”

Angela is truly a cat whisperer. We were away for almost two weeks and Angela put us at ease - sending us regular photos and updates of our three cats. It is clear that our kitties loved her. She was thorough with daily feeding and litter needs, and most importantly, did a lot of cuddle and enrichment activities with our cats. We would highly recommend Angela, and there is no doubt that we will be leveraging her again for our upcoming trips!
Taylor has sat for our pup many times but this was her first overnight stay and it went GREAT. She stayed with Mr. Scruff for four nights and we were so thankful to not have to worry about him at all while we were gone. We got plenty of updates, she followed all of our instructions (especially important with his separation anxiety and reactivity), and was also a great houseguest. Our buddy was belly up, playing, and eating while we were away, which means he felt safe and happy — all we can ask for!

Ava was an amazing house/dog sitter for the weekend! She took amazing care of Archie and Cora and was very communicative throughout the entire process. She checked in every morning and evening and sent pictures, and we felt like the two of them were in great hands! We would definitely book Ava's services again in the future!

Mounika was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our home with our 8-month-old puppy and provided thoughtful, regular updates throughout her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy can be quite a handful at times, but he absolutely adores her. She was patient, attentive, and clearly cared for him as if he were her own. On top of that, she helped us navigate an unexpected HVAC issue while we were gone and left our home spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would recommend her without hesitation. 100/10!

We had a wonderful experience with Layla! She took such great care of Ellie, sent lots of updates and photos, was quick to communicate, and even brought in packages that arrived while we were away. I was fully able to enjoy my time away knowing Ellie was in such good hands. She also helped with a last-minute walk request the week before our trip. She treated both our home and our pup with so much care and respect. She is reliable and trustworthy, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

It's always nerve-wracking leaving my dog with someone new for the first time, especially when I'm not easily accessible. Good thing I took a chance on Anna - she handled everything perfectly! I really felt like she treated Turtle like her own pet for the week. Her and her partner provided all the care and loving that I'd hoped for. I will definitely use her again!
