About: I got my first family dog when I was 8, and caring for him sparked a long-standing love for dogs. Since then, I’ve helped take care of him and other dogs, gaining hands-on experience with their daily needs, training, and routines. I currently work 9-6PM ET, but can be there to take care of your dog any time after that, and any time on the weekends. I provide attentive and personalized care for pets, whether in my home or the client’s. This includes feeding according to their schedule and dietary needs, providing fresh water, giving daily walks and exercise, offering playtime and mental stimulation, and ensuring lots of love and attention. I also follow any specific instructions from the pet owner, monitor for health or behavior changes, and maintain a safe, clean, and comfortable environment at all times.
About: I’ve taken care of cats for about 7 years. Mostly for friends and family when they travel. I either keep them over night or can also do visits, depending on your preference . I have 2 cats my self shady (9) and Melvin (6). They’re the sweetest cats , they don’t bother , they’re friendly and just want love. I’ve owned a couple of dogs as well , I don’t mind taking them for a walk when needed. I have a hybrid schedule I work in office and also from home . My days varies and my schedule is very open . I do not work weekends . My house has a lot of windows for the cats to lay and sun bathe. We have a front garden that I usually let my cats out for 30 mins a day depending on the weather.

“Keoma stayed at our place to take car of our pets while we were away. Our pets are older so we were happy to find someone who could handle giving meds, eye drops etc. to them. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures and even brought up our packages. We'll definitely book again in the future.”
“Titi Angie was great and extremely professional. We had her house sit Ralphie while we were out of the country and she was super responsive and communicative. Ralphie was super happy and took to her quickly, we felt so at ease with her taking care of Ralphie.”

“Camille was so great!! She was super communicative and sent a bunch of pictures while I was gone. She understood Ronnie’s behavior needs and took great care of her. Overall it was a great experience:)”

“Cynthia watched my pup overnight and took such good care of him. I felt at ease knowing he was not alone and with someone who genuinely likes dogs (even old cranky ones like mine). Thank you so much Cynthia!!”

“This was the second time Amanda watched and cared for my dog Mars, and it went just as well as the first time. Mars has a lot of anxiety and she knows just what to do to make him feel at ease while respecting his boundaries. And most importantly when we arrived at home he was calm, like we never left, which shows just how good of a job she did. Will be booking with her again when needed.”
“I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! My event was delayed and she ended up staying with my boy for an extra hour. She also took him on a long walk and sent lots of pictures. I didn’t worry at all about him and was able to enjoy my night. I’ll definitely be booking her to watch my baby in the future!”

About: Hello there! My name is Mia, a passionate pet lover and stay-at-home dog mom with a love for art. I am currently taking a step back from the nonprofit sector to focus on my art and health journeys. With the flexibility to be home, I would love to support fellow pet parents by providing attentive, reliable care—especially for senior and special needs dogs who deserve a little extra love and patience. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my days around walks, feedings, and check-ins to ensure every pet receives consistent, attentive care. At this point in my life, I am intentionally focusing on what brings me joy—animals, especially dogs. I am currently taking a step back from fast-paced, high-pressure nonprofit work to explore my art and health journey, and that naturally includes spending more time with four-legged friends. This flexibility allows me to be fully present, maintain each pet’s routine, and provide the level of care, attention, and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I know how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust—especially when caring for senior or special needs pets—and how that can make even a short trip feel stressful. I specialize in caring for elderly, chronically ill, and special needs pets, while also welcoming young pups. I have experience with large breeds, including growing up with Labrador Retriever, and I am confident handling detailed care routines. I am experienced in administering medications such as insulin injections, eye drops, syringe feeding, and oral medications, and I always follow feeding, potty, and care schedules closely to keep your pet comfortable and safe. In-home care is often a more gentle and less stressful alternative to vet boarding, allowing your pet to stay relaxed in a familiar environment. I focus on maintaining healthy routines with walks, playtime, mental stimulation, and high-quality treats, while always respecting any dietary needs or restrictions you provide. I also offer transportation, overnight or daytime care, late-night walks, and last-minute or emergency visits when needed. I am happy to meet you and your pet beforehand so we can build trust and ensure the best care possible.

“Second time using Marlene and she was just as stellar as before! So happy to have her to take care of my boys! She sent update photos when she was with them and provided stellar care”

About: Im currently a college student and I love animals. I'm a dog lover, I am very patient and can tolerate and love any type of dog, every dog has their own personality and I respect that. Time management is one of my skills, I'm responsible, your dog will be provided with the care she/he needs, your dog/puppy will be in great hands. I know how important your best friend is, which is why I'll make sure to give you updates as frequent as possible about how your doggie is doing. I have a flexible schedule. Don't worry about weekends! Those are the best days for me. I will also be sure to follow any special instruction your pet may need. I can't wait to spread the love and care with your pets!

About: I have been a cat owner for over 8 years, super experienced with taking care of cats and love all of them with my heart. Also, I have walked my cousins golden noodle countless times, and he poops over three times on one walk! I personally don’t own a dog but I enjoy hanging out with anyone’s special loved dogs. I am currently working in a kids indoor playground part time. Aside from the days off, I also have availability anytime after 6pm every day. I will make sure to keep all places clean and clean up any mess if needed. Making sure the pet feels safe before engaging any activities with them.
“My dog is feisty and doesn’t get along well with nearly anyone, but she loved Sara! Very responsible and communicative in important situations. She stayed at our apartment and left it cleaner than we did! Would highly recommend!”

About: I'm an incredibly active individual. I love to lift weights, practice martial arts, hike, and go on runs. This allows me to be an excellent fit for a dog whose energy levels are high. If you'd prefer for me to not just take your dog to the bathroom, but provide them a good amount of exercise as well, I'm a great fit! When I'm not taking care of dogs I work as a writer, director, and editor on films, social media videos, and commercials. If you've ever wanted any photos or videos of you and your four legged friend (or just them) I can provide high quality images/videos for you as well whether you want to just show off to your friends and family or just to have status updates on how your dog is doing. Because I work freelance my schedule tends to be flexible and allows me to set my own hours usually. I will work with you as best as I can to fit your needs within my schedule. I treat dogs very similarly to how I treat people. I show them a great deal of respect, empathy, and love. I do tend to spoil my own dog here and there, but I also try to love him as unconditionally as he does to me. A golden rule I try to follow is treat others the way you want to be treated. Another golden rule I try to follow is to see myself in others. I also apply these two golden rules to my encounters with pets and nature in general.

I cannot express enough how happy I am we found Phaedra! Shelby and Lucky instantly warmed up to her and we knew right away they’d be in great hands while we were away. She kept me updated the whole time and spent a lot of time working with Shelby, who is afraid of everything and is very reactive on walks, and it was amazing to see the difference in her from when we left to when we got back. We came home to happy pups and a clean house. I will definitely have Phaedra watch Shelby & Lucky again!

Marlene was easy to communcate with from our first message. She arrived on time (and our appointment was for 5:30 in the morning, so this is an important detail), listened to all my anxious instructions, and followed them to a tee. She sent me an update to assure me that all was well, along with photos, which I truly appreciated. The dogs were clearly comfortable with her, and she with them, and they were content when I arrived back. She has a calm and reassuring demeanor, which put me at ease, and I would definitely want her to stay with my dogs again. I highly recommend her to you.

I had Jason watch my two cats while I was away for a few days and I am very happy with the service provided. I came back to everything the way I left it and all the cats things clean and organized. I had multiple follow ups and photos sent to me by Jason throughout the service. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with Jason moving forward!!
Camille was absolutely wonderful with my puppy! From the moment they met, it was clear she has a natural gift with dogs, and she provided the perfect balance of playful energy and attentive care. She kept me updated the entire time, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. I couldn't have asked for a better, more trustworthy sitter, and my pup can't wait to see her again!

Kenine went above and beyond at the last minute for my rescue pup who is still decompressing from the shelter and learning manners. Kenine provided last minute coverage and reviewed and enforced 1000 details to help my pup feel safe and secure. She handled his needs on walks, with medication, a special diet, and his behaviors that we are working on. Grateful for Kenine’s patience, skill and support and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Kenine!

Cassidy is simply the BEST! This was the second time we used her. This time she stayed in our home, taking care of our two dogs for two weeks! She adores dogs, she’s responsible, sends updates, left the house spotless and best of all our dogs love her!! One of our dogs has anxiety, and she handles him perfectly. Cassidy should be everyone’s go to girl ❤️

John watched our 2 senior dogs, one of which needs alot of assistance some days. John kept us updated by sending pictures and we knew they were doing ok. It was such a relief to be able to go somewhere and know everyone was going to be fine when we returned. We definitely will be using him again when we have functions to attend. We highly recommend John!

1000/1000! Bryce was a life saver!! She was available last minute to dog sit my 2 dogs at my home for a week! She sent thorough and constant updates that made me feel so at ease. The dogs truly adored her and she clearly loved them. She left the house in immaculate condition and went over and above what I asked of her. She will be my go to girl for all future trips!

Maggie and Ruthie love Keoma and their humans do too. Maggie is our special needs elderly greyhound. Ruthie is our elderly cat. Keoma stays with them when we travel and they seem relaxed when we come home. Plus, Keoma always leaves the flat nice and clean. Highly recommend!
