“She was wonderful with our puppy, played with him outside and sent us photos during the day so we can see how much fun he was having. Definitely would recommend her as a dog sitter!!”
“Connor (CK) took great care of Roxy while we were out of town for 3 days. He took her on walks and to the dog park, and provided lots of attention. He followed our instructions and took good care of our home. He sent pics and a report each day. She was calm when we got back home — a sure sign that she was well cared for.”
“We’ve used Sydney as a pet sitter 3 times now. She’s been wonderful every time. She takes great care of our pets and home. She provides excellent updates throughout our trip. She is great at what she does and I look forward to booking her again for future trips!”
“Natalie took amazing care of our dogs while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon. One of our dogs can be a little standoffish with new people but they both took to her immediately. The daily updates were such a relief and allowed us one less thing to stress about! Our home was immaculate when we returned. Would definitely book again!!!”
“We loved having Brooke over to watch our Junie, you can tell they were good friends right away. We appreciated the photos and updates throughout the day and we came home to a happy and well cared for pup. Would recommend Brooke and we definitely hope to book with them again in the future!”
“We really loved Ann! She was efficient, organized, and friendly. She had a natural rapport with our dogs, which made us feel very comfortable. She was also very easy to communicate with. We highly recommend Ann!”
“There are not enough words to explain how amazing and truly incredible Heather is!!! We have 4 dogs with 4 different personalities and needs. It was instant love for her by them! It would be your dogs loss if you don’t use her services! She’s an amazing person and true dog lover!”
About: Because I’m in medical school I have a unique perspective on pet care in the sense that I am calm, thorough, and empathetic! I also have a dog of my own with medical needs so I am equipped to care for any pet. I’ve had large dogs, small, dogs, cats, and fish all my life and I would love to help care for your pets too:) I’m currently in medical school so my schedule varies during the weekdays (which I will frequently update) but I can come swing by to take on walks, check-ins, or house-sit. I have most weekends free as well. I am experienced in caring for food aggressive pets, dog-aggressive pets, as well as medically needy pets. I can take large dogs 100+ lbs on leashed walks as well as play in yards with them. I love animals and I know how to keep everyone safe and happy:)
“Maddi was awesome to have watch our senior pups! She was so thorough and kind and I felt very quickly at ease with our dogs in her care. Would highly recommend anyone considering care for their fur babes to book with her and I personally hope to have her again with our pups the next time we need a sitter!”
“Sent pictures, followed instructions, my animals and my house have little particulars that she listened to well, too! My house was clean, animals were well taken care of and happy when I got back ❤️ Would recommend Cayla and will use again! Thanks again.”
“David was a great sitter for our two cats. He stayed the weekend and the cats were well cared for and our house was in perfect condition when we came home. He sent us pics and updates while we were away which were appreciated. Would totally recommend David to other people looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter!”
“Maura was great- very communicative and sent lots of photos of my dog, Bentley which I appreciated it! I look forward to working with Maura more in the future!”
“She is amazing!!! She took care of our cat and dog and also was an amazing house guest, left everything clean and tidy and overall it was a wonderful experience. I will be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Trai was just awesome. We booked him for a week long vacation with our giant breed dog and he was great. The house was cleaned up, he was always super easy to communicate with, and even sent this crazy dog mom pictures! He’s just so nice and easy to work with. I can’t say enough about him! I worry he’ll be too booked when I need him again because he is one of the best!”
About: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. My love of animals is probably one of my most defining characteristics. I grew up taking care of my family’s dogs & cats, volunteered at a local shelter throughout high school & college, & I now have a dog & 2 cats of my own! I’m also a certified Physician Assistant, so giving medications or injections is no problem! I recently accepted a job where I am able to work partially from home, which allows my schedule to be very flexible in the early afternoon to evening. I’m also available varying weekends depending on my travel plans! I’m very thorough & detail-oriented. I know what it’s like to want your pet to be in the best hands, so that’s what I’m here to offer!
About: I was born into a family with a dog and have had a dog in my life ever since! Now I have a 7 year old pittie mix who is my whole world. I trained her and continue to do so to help her acquire new skills or just for mental stimulation. While I was a late-in-life cat lover, I now have 2 cats of my own who i cant imagine life without. Over the years I’ve had many friends, family, and coworkers trust me with their fur babies whether it was for a single walk, a feeding and play time, or stay overs while they were gone. I even have experience administering medicine to special needs animals. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your needs. Usually I am free in the mornings and afternoons. Evenings are tougher for me, but we can make something work! I will always want to do a meet and greet before caring for your animal whether I’m providing a walk or a staying with your fur baby over night. I want to make sure I’m the best fit and that you feel comfortable with your pet in my hands. I will defer to you in terms of safety and care (beyond the basics) as you know your pet best. As I get to know your pet, I’ll understand their preferences and triggers which will allow me to provide them with the best care.
“Gianna was really great at communicating with us while we were away, and we got some great photos of Albie while we were gone. It was so nice to know that our dog was getting great care while we were gone!”
