“Stephanie took great care of our 1.2-year-old golden retriever, Bidu, while staying at our home for five nights, and we had a wonderful experience with her! She was responsible, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house just as we left it. Her updates throughout gave us peace of mind, and it was clear that Bidu felt comfortable and well looked after. We’d happily have Stephanie stay with him again in the future!”
“Gabriela was wonderful with Pookie and Trixie!! She took great care of them and kept me updated with videos and pictures. She's an absolutely delightful person and I hope that she'll be able to watch the pooches when needed in the future.”
“I have asked Michelle to cat-sit my kitty twice now and she has been great! My cat has separation anxiety and not only is Michelle great at calming her down, she plays with her a lot. She does a great job of making sure the litter is scooped, water is filled, and food bowls full. She has also been very respectful of my home; she is very clean. I will be asking her to cat-sit my Nugget in the future.”
“Malia was a joy to work with. She not only cared so well for our 2 dogs, but did an outstanding job house sitting. We came home to clean sheets, laundry going and happy dogs! I will definitely keep using her as a house/dog sitter, she’s incredible!”
“Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.”
About: My family has been petsitting family and friend's dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I also grew up with a family dog and several cats, being the one who mostly trained the dog in performative tricks. This exposure lead me to have a great interest in learning dog and cat breeds, hereditary diseases, and behavior/body language. I have 5+ years in the animal industry from pet supply to medical care. I have experience in administering medications and subcutaneous fluids, simple grooming(nail trims and brushing), and some basic puppy training. I am available from 9am-12pm and 4pm-7pm everyday for dog walking. I'm available all day, Tues-Thurs, Sat-Sun for drop ins and other services that I offer! Sadly, I do have the space to house your pet at my place, but I will be able to complete any provided services at your own!
“Kerynne was absolutely incredible! My dog fell in love with her and made my last minute trip possible. She followed all my instructions, fed and walked my dog, played with him and even sent photo and video updates. She house-sat and my place was the same as I’d left it. Book her! She’s fantastic.”
“Fantastic petsitter. Flexible when our flight was delayed. Became besties with our anxious pup within about 30 seconds of his arrival. She was so happy when we got home, but not like oh-my-god-where-have-you-been happy. It was more I'm-a-happy-puppy-and-yay-you're-home. Will be happy to book him again!”
“Alexus was amazing with our dog. She kept us updated consistently and was always on time. She also stayed at our home and took great care of everything. Thank you so much.”
About: I have dog- & cat-sat and walked dogs for friends and family, off and on for decades. I respect and strive to maintain your training and behavioral standards. In my experience, dogs live to please us and get it right -- and get a reward. :-) I relish seeing sociable pooches' delight when I take them to the dog park to chase balls and play with new friends. I enjoy each and every walk through the neighborhood just to see who's out and wanting to say "hi!" (read: "woof!"). I know how important a routine can be, so I do my utmost to adhere to yours, so that pooch who misses you will have the least possible other disruptions to their sensibility. ;-) I'm a writer and editor working from home, so "Have laptop. Will travel." Show me your high-speed Internet and I'll show you a flexible and dedicated on-site sitter for your canine or feline cutie-pies. I'll walk your dogs, play with your cats, water your plants, put out your trash bins, bring in the mail, add chlorine to your hot tub, and move your car every 72 hours -- just tell me what you need in order to feel totally at ease while you're away! When out and about, I routinely ask other dog-walkers for permission or an invitation before letting your pups introduce themselves. I am highly conscious of door and fence/gate hygiene, either at your home or at the dog park. And while at that dog park or on those walks, I strive to never mix leashed dogs with unleashed dogs, so as to minimize any power imbalances. At mealtime, I monitor a chubby pooch with a slow metabolism to make sure he doesn't partake of his slim & trim buddy's leftovers. I appreciate and adhere to the routines you've established for your pet. I like to build trust and reinforce cooperation & good behavior by asking dogs for a "shake" or "sit" or "down" before rewarding them with a treat.
“Great communication, total pro and managed our 13 week old puppy with grace and courage :) Came back home to happy dogs and a super clean home, we couldn't ask for more!!

“I had a great experience with Caitlin. She was prompt to all of our scheduled meetings in the run up to the actual house sit. During the house sit itself she was great with communication and provided pictures of my dog while I was away. Overall a very responsible and professional house/pet sitter who I will use again.”
“Melanie was an absolute life saver, our previous sitter canceled last minute and she stepped up and was above and beyond what me and my wife expected. It was our first time hiring a sitter for our puppy but we will absolutely go back to Melanie again. She’s the best”

About: I’ve been a vet tech for 8 years, I have training in administering medications if needed. always been my dream job. I love working with animals I currently work four 10 hour shifts weekly and a mom, I can do drop ins after 7pm on weekdays. Weekends are a little more flexible I live in an apartment complex which is gated but can take your pet to dog parks, long walks/runs. If they love children I have two they can play with.
About: I've always been around dogs growing up and love working with them as companions and great walking partners. My American Pitbull Terrier is my first rescue, and we love to go on walks and play. I am currently working part-time with more than enough time to care for your fur babies. My availability is very flexible to work with most schedules. I will always supervise your dog and treat them as if they were my own. With love, respect and many games to keep them entertained!
About: I adopted my Shiba Inu, Freddy, when he was almost 2 years old, and he’s turning 6 in July this year! Some people say Shibas are difficult to take care, but Freddy is absolutely amazing and well-behaved. My wife and I treat him like our son, and we walk him at least twice a day since Day 1. His meals consist of boiled chicken breast/thighs/legs, cabbages, broccoli, carrots, and dog food, etc. Spending time with dogs is one of my greatest joys because they truly are the most loyal friends humans could ever have. Having Freddy in my life has been one of my greatest blessings. From Monday to Friday, I start my workday early in the morning and finish around 2pm. Since my office is only about 10 minutes from home, I have plenty of flexibility and am free from around 3pm until midnight every day. We have a backyard where Freddy can enjoy the fresh air and sunlight, and we even built a small door so he can go in and out freely whenever he wants. Since day one, he’s been covered by pet insurance, and we make sure to bring him in for annual check-ups, including heartworm tests and comprehensive health screenings, to keep him in the best shape possible.

“Danyel has been kitty sitting for me (three cats) for more than two years, and I couldn’t be happier with anyone else or feel more comfortable. Sometimes it’s just been one day and up to two weeks.

19. Jethro G.
“I’ve trusted Jet to dog sit for me over the past five years, and I honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better. He’s responsible, attentive, and hard-working. He always makes sure my dog, Eevee, feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Eevee can be a little anxious, especially around new people, but she took to Jet right away. The first time he watched her, I came home to find her completely relaxed, curled up next to him like they’d known each other forever. Now, whenever Jet comes over, she gets so excited! It’s clear she trusts him, and that gives me so much peace of mind. From casual walks when when we are gone for the evening to staying with Eevee for a week while we left for out of the country. Eevee has been super comfortable with him for long periods of time. Jet is one of the few people I fully trust with Eevee. He follows her routine, keeps me updated while I’m away, and always treats her with so much care and kindness. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and genuinely caring sitter.”
20. Vincent & Hsiao Chi C.
“I am delighted to recommend Vincent as a dog sitter. As a devoted dog owner himself, Vincent treats every dog with the same love, care, and attention he gives to his own Shiba Inu, Freddy. He has a deep understanding of canine behavior, ensures they get plenty of exercise, and prioritizes their well-being. Vincent is responsible, attentive, and truly enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s following specific feeding routines, taking them on regular walks, or simply providing companionship, he goes above and beyond to make sure each dog feels safe and happy. With his flexible schedule and dedication to pet care, I have no doubt that any dog under his watch will be in great hands. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced dog sitter, I highly recommend Vincent. He will treat your dog like family!”
