Rebooked Quetzaly again! She has been amazing. She took great care of Sesame and made everything feel easy and stress free. She is very flexible and reliable, which we really appreciate. I appreciate how she keeps us updated. It gives us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She gets along so well with our dog. We will definitely keep booking with her and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. She is professional and kind, and are grateful we found our go-to sitter. :)

Kristina truly went above and beyond when watching my dog while I was away. She recorded videos of every check in and walk, she sent updates on how he was doing and any possible concerns at the house, and she went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable during this crazy heat wave. I really appreciate her diligence and will definitely book again!

About: Hi! I am a dog-loving college student who would love to help you out by walking your doggies! As a dog owner, I know how important it is to find the right care for your fur-baby which is why I want to give your pet everything they'll ever need! I have been a pet owner my whole life and I have experience with doggies of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I have experience with elderly dogs, puppies, and high energy dogs (I have two terriers at home). I also have experience with adopted shelter dogs who may have troubled pasts. I know that they can be nervous/anxious around outsiders/strangers, but I am very patient and gentle and could accommodate your dog if this is the case. I am very empathetic and patient and believe all animals should be given proper care! With that being said, I would love to assist you with your pet needs!

About: I have experience caring for my family’s and other dogs and understand the daily responsibility that comes with keeping pets healthy, safe, and happy. Through caring for them, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and recognizing changes in behavior. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet with patience and attention and will care for your pet the same way I care for my own. I have a golden-doodle at home that I have cared for since she was a puppy, so I have plenty of experience with puppies and super young dogs. I am available all day to meet the needs of your pet's schedule. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I’m used to feeding, walking, exercising, and spending quality time with dogs every day. Because I care for my own pets, I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent schedule and providing attention throughout the day. Because of this, adding pet sitting and dog walking feels like a natural extension of my routine, and I’m committed to providing reliable care and attention to every pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. I will follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care requirements. I will make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I also respect the client’s home, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates (love sending pictures of your pets) so owners can feel confident that their pets are being well cared for.

We booked Casey to feed and spend time with our dogs while we were away. We didn’t get to meet her in advance, so we sent her detailed instructions, and she followed them perfectly. She even noticed that our continuous dog water bowl (that’s not in a noticeable place) was empty, refilled it, and reconnected it, so that it was working again. We also received great pictures and communication while she was with our dogs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Casey!

About: I have two cats of my own and have helped care for both family dogs and friends’ cats over the years. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, litter box cleaning, and giving lots of love and attention! Pets tend to warm up to me quickly, and I always make sure they feel safe and cared for. I also have plenty of photos of the pets I’ve cared for to show the happy moments we’ve shared. I’m a college student currently studying biochemistry with a strong love for both cats and dogs. Pet care brings me joy, and with summer here, I’m only in school part-time. This gives me the flexibility to care for your pets Thursday through Sunday. I’m dedicated, dependable, and excited to give your pets the attention and affection they deserve. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely and respect your space. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, medication, and preferred activities. While I don’t have dogs of my own, I have two friendly cats and a clean, pet-safe space. Whether in your home or mine, your pet will be treated like family.

About: I grew up around dogs my whole life; From Mastiffs to Yorkies, I’m genuinely comfortable with breeds of all sizes and most temperaments. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets, and I love animals deeply. As someone who can’t have a dog of my own right now, I pour that love into every pup I care for. Your dog will be treated like family so lots of attention, regular walks, and a calm, caring environment. I’m a recent grad with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your dog attention throughout the day. I’m available most days and can accommodate both short-notice and planned bookings. Your pup won’t be left alone for long! For house sitting I’ll be staying at your home, so your dog gets to stay in their own familiar environment with minimal stress. I’m calm, responsible, and attentive. I grew up with dogs of all sizes so I know how to read their behavior and keep them comfortable and safe. I treat every pet like my own.

About: I’ve cared for animals ranging from baby bunnies to horses, so I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. While in college, I helped care for a stranger’s baby bunny for multiple nights on many occasions, making sure it stayed healthy, comfortable, and properly cared for. I also have experience around horses, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is to stay calm and attentive with animals. Because of that background, caring for dogs and cats feels very natural to me. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleaning up, and giving pets lots of attention so they feel safe while you’re away. I’ve also been dog-sitting for relatives since I was a child, so being around pets and helping care for them has always been a normal part of my life. I genuinely enjoy bonding with animals and making sure they’re not just watched, but actually cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine as a college student because I currently have a flexible schedule and a good amount of free time outside of classes and studying. I’m able to consistently make time for feeding, walks or playtime, cleaning, and giving attention to pets throughout the day. Having open availability also allows me to adapt to unexpected needs and stay dependable with daily care responsibilities. When I pet sit, I make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific routines the pet is used to. I pay attention to the pet’s behavior and comfort level to help them feel relaxed while their owner is away. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure by keeping doors and gates closed, removing anything unsafe, and maintaining a calm environment for the pet.

Alyson was amazing with our cats while we were gone for a week. They warmed up to her pretty quickly and she was very thoughtful about making sure they had everything we needed. She even sent us daily photos and check ins for the cats which we really appreciated :) I would totally rebook her for next time and recommend others to do the same!

About: I do not have professional experience with pets but I have my own dog so I personally know the love and care that they need. I was in charge of training her and making sure she was potty trained as well as socialized I can work mostly any time from Monday -Thursday and during the day on Friday and Saturday ! I do have a job on the weekend but it is in the evening In my home I have a front and back yard with grass so the babies can run around as well there is a park a 3 minute drive away from the home to make sure they are able to play and run out their energy. Since I have my dog with me they would have a companion to be with. With my clients home I would make sure to run everything by them and their boundaries

This was the second time that Quetzaly has taken care of our cats and both times have been fantastic experiences! This time was for a week and we couldn't have asked for a more attentive, engaged sitter. The cats always seemed very happy and the pictures we were sent were great! We would definitely work with Quetzaly again and highly recommend her!
