“Hannah was great! Communicated with me well. The dogs seemed very happy in the photos she sent and when I got home from work. Will definitely rebook”


“She was so great with my 2 kitties! One was super bashful the first couple days and she really went out of her way to find him and help him warm up to her. I also really appreciated how she constantly checked in and asked questions instead of just making assumptions!”


“Jennah is great! Very good with our crazy puppy. She even works on some training with him. Our puppy is very excited to have weekly visits from Jennah.”


“Jamie won over our very anxious dog over the long weekend she let him out. Our dog Arlo was hesitant at first but Jamie was patient with him and everything went well. Thank you Jamie for taking such great care of Arlo!”


“Margaret is our favorite sitter. She sends us updates, pictures, and takes the best care of our pups, even on quick drop in visits. Truly no one better suited to take care of your furry children!”


“This was our second time booking Kilie for our two finicky cats. She was totally on top of things, and everything went perfectly smoothly. Having someone we can trust, and who’s so easy to work with, makes us feel much more comfortable traveling away from home, even just for a day or two. Thanks again, Kilie! We’ll be booking again soon!”


“Adriana took wonderful care of our cat. We came home to a happy kitty. She was also very communicative and took great pics! Thank you, Adriana!”


“Hayley did an excellent job with our two pets. She did well to ask the right questions to ensure she had everything covered. She also gave regular updates for the drop ins and maintained great communication through the entire process.”


“Sarah came to meet Greta before our schedule drop-ins, and she immediately put this nervous dog-owner at ease -- didn't hurt that my pup immediately rolled over to let Sarah rub her belly! Dogs are a good judge of character. :) Sarah dropped in just when she said she would, sent photos from her visits, and I came home to a calm and happy dog.”

“Alison and Robert were amazing! They did everything we asked in terms of taking care of our kitty and more. We loved the daily updates with pictures, which were great, and looked forward to them every day during our trip. Would definitely have them back again. We can tell William already misses their visits!”


“Cori and Jamie were great. They were super responsive and sent regular updates with lots of photos of our kitties. We will definitely use them again in the future!”


About: I have my own dog for about 9 years which I’ve had to help take care of, I have 3 cats who I also take care of, as well as a hamster and bearded dragon. I currently work part time as a dog grooming assistant but I’m available during the weekdays and any time after 5 on Fridays to take care of any animals when needed! I have a fenced in yard and a beagle of my own. I won’t be bringing the dogs in to my house since I would drive over to the clients house to walk the dogs.

“Kendra did a great job caring for our dog and communicating with us. This allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying about our dog. We will definitely book with her again!”


“Valeria was so sweet with our dogs while my partner and I were traveling. She sent great photos and updates during her drop-in visits and you could tell how happy our pups were! She went above and beyond, making sure to play with them and their toys, as well as bundling them up for chilly walks! I would 100% trust her to watch our dogs again any time.”


About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. Both my dogs , both 4, former owner is deceased. It was hard on the boys to have a different routine. But with love and lots of training, I've gotten the boys to settle down and to have fun again. I will treat you furbabies with love and care, just like how I treat mine. I work Monday to Friday from 8am-4:30 pm. I am available any other time. But my preferred hours are 5pm-9pm on weekdays, And 10am-10pm on weekends. If I'm doing any in person sitting. My dogs will be on floor1 and my cats will be on floor. Dogs will be crated if needed and the any cats will have their own room away from my cats.

About: I have taken care of my girlfriend’s dog during my visit to her house including feeding the dog and walking the dog around the block. I’m actively job searching during morning so caring for dogs and walking them gives me good exercise and help me get my 10,000 steps goal. I am only offering dog walking service since I live in an apartment, it will be very difficult to take care of the dog here.

“He did a fantastic job of taking care of our girls while we were gone. They were fed, watered, played with, and poops cleaned up. We came home to some very happy cats.”


“Meg is fabulous. She took excellent care of our three fur babies while we were on vacation and came to the rescue when our flight was delayed. She was very understanding and added the extra day to our booking for us. That was very helpful since we were in an area with spotty wifi. I highly recommend her.”


“Anne was really great with Chloe! She went above and beyond from the interview process all the way to making us feel secure while away on vacation that she was taking extremely good care of our Chloe! She sent us pictures at each visit and had everything under control. We texted often which really helped to ease my mind since this was the first time we tried this. I am definitely going to use Anne again and I highly recommend her. She is really friendly and very trustworthy !”


About: Hi there! I’ve taken care of my own pup for 4 years and others’ dogs for well over 8! I like to say I give off “dog energy” and pups gravitate towards me (and my husband!). I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs and cats, following their specific needs for food, water, exercise, enrichment, and rest. In my home, pets are just as important as people so they are welcomed and encouraged to curl up on the couch with us, if they’re comfortable doing so. While I don’t have specific training skills, I am happy to incorporate any current training regimens you’ve introduced to your dog to continue on their path to success. Small treats are given in our home for “good potty,” so unless otherwise specified, I’d love to follow suit with your pup! Please provide any special treats you may wish me to give your pet. Otherwise, I am happy to provide Bocce’s Bakery treats to all of my furry friends! Puppies, adult, and senior dogs alike are welcome in our home. I am self-employed and work from home so I have ample time to snuggle with and care for your fur baby. My dog goes out to potty once every 2-4 hours depending on her mood so any pup we welcome into our home typically follows the same schedule. Neighborhood walks are always on the table as long as it’s not too hot or too cold for their safety. I have an unfenced yard and no dogs are left unattended or off-leash. Leashing and dog safety are my priorities. Our private yard offers respite for reactive pups to focus while they do their business. We have plenty of space in our home to separate dogs for meals, treats, or moments of rest. Our dog, Tofu, is a Velcro dog and always by my side. She’s a bit of an anxious girlie but loves to play and snuggle up with friends (dogs and humans alike) once she gets comfortable. All introductions to Tofu will be done slowly and with both dogs’ safety in mind!

15. Michael S.
“Michael helped to take care of my 2 cats and 2 dogs. He did a great job with all of them. One of the cats needs eye drops and he was able to do this without issue. He took the dogs on long walks and played fetch with them. He was able to stick to the feeding schedule and didn't overfeed my pets and was there close to agreed upon times to make sure the dogs didn't have any accidents. He was very responsible and took great care of all the pets.”
