“Dixie was great! She offered to do a meet and greet prior to coming over. When she did, she sent the cutest pictures. She is very communicative and I’ll be using her again. Thank you!!”
“Jessica was great about keeping in contact and helped me resolve a scheduling issue. She got along really well with my father in law during her pick ups. We got great pics and information each day”
“Tara was wonderful! She made it possible for us to enjoy being away from home with the peace of mind that our pets were in good hands. Tara was kind, respectful and loving to our pets. Will definitely recommend her and have her care for our pups again. Thank you Tara!”
“Jerica has been a great and reliable drop in visitor for my pug, Spanky! She gives him lots of playtime and always updates me with any concerns. She was also very flexible with me when I needed to cancel a visit last minute, and very communicative. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Sheryl was so helpful and did an amazing job with my kitties. I was gone for extended periods of time but I know they were in good hands 😊”
“I should have known that Tess would be amazing when she started asking questions before the meet and greet. She showed up to my house with notes on the dogs, in hand. Less than a minute after walking in the door, she had both dogs sitting and wagging on the other side of the gate by the front door. From there, she just bonded with my dogs inside and outside. Her updates are very detailed and she is the perfect person to take care of my dogs during the middle of the day! She truly is amazing!”
About: I've always enjoyed having pets and interacting with animals. Unfortunately, I'm unable to have my own right now, but I'd love to spend time with your furry family members! ☺️ I'm a retired elementary school teacher available for pet walking, sitting, and general pet care Monday through Friday and weekends, too! Daytime hours (for walking) from 8AM to 8PM. Pets are beloved companions, and your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are important to me. I am trustworthy, responsible, and dependable. While caring for your pet, I will strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible to minimize stress while you're away. Belly rubs, favorite toys, ear scratches, bedtime treats... just let me know what your pet prefers, and I'll do my best to accommodate. It's my goal to be your first choice for your pet care needs. 🐈⬛️
“Pia is hands down the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! From the moment we met her, we knew our cat was in loving, capable hands. She went above and beyond every single day—sending us the sweetest updates, adorable photos, and making sure our cat felt comfortable, entertained, and well cared for. It’s such a relief to be away and know that everything is taken care of, and Pia gave us that peace of mind and more. Our cat absolutely adored her (which says a lot—she’s not usually quick to warm up to new people!). We came home to a happy, relaxed kitty and a spotless house. We’re so impressed that Pia is now our go-to long-term cat sitter. Truly couldn’t ask for better. Thank you, Pia!”
“Genna is the best and has done a great job caring for my German Shepherd. It was so easy to coordinate with her and I felt at ease because you can see she truly cares. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica is awesome! She does great with my super high energy, hyper dog. Her services have helped me out tremendously and my dog really likes her, she is calm and relaxed after spending time with Jessica. I will definitely continue to use her services and would highly recommend her.”
“Mara was a great Rover for our two mini’s as we were away for the weekend. She gave them lots of love and clearly has experience with dogs. She communicated well and went the extra mile loving our pups. We would love to have her back again!”
About: I have had the privilege of caring for dogs for most of my life. From puppy stage all the way to elder care. I will give your pet the full attention and exercise they deserve. Includes walking, pet sitting, giving meds or just a good dose of love. I have a flexible schedule in the mornings and evenings, all day Monday and Tuesday and on weekends. I can come to your home or they can come spend time at mine. I have a large fenced in yard for potty time and play time. I have a reliable car for transport as well. I belong to two toy poodle boys who would love to help take care of your fur babies. They are super sweet boys.my two daughters and a roommate also help me care for pups staying with us. Between all of us there is always someone home with doggos.
“Kathryn was absolutely wonderful with Penny! She did drop-in visits while we were at work and gave Penny so much love and attention. She was reliable, kind, and clearly experienced with puppies—Penny loved her right away. I really appreciated the updates and the care she took during her visit. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Penny was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and dependable sitter!”

“Mario is very communicative and took great care of our house and made sure our cat was doing okay during his drop ins. Will definitely book again!”
About: I've taken care of/trained my dog from the age of 7 weeks. I have volunteered for animal shelters for 3 years in various roles such as behavior modification, dog walking, advanced dog walking, and taking specific dogs on hikes. I am extremely in tune with the nonverbal communication/body language of dogs and I have a certificate for the Fear Free Shelter Program. I also have experience taking care of reptiles. I'm currently enrolled in college online so I have a very flexible schedule. I can walk pets any time of the day and I can accommodate almost any time for pet services except Thursday nights. I tend to spoil animals - I go out of my way to treat them like royalty. I meticulously ensure pets are safe by making sure they are supervised (especially while outdoors) and by keeping any potential hazards inaccessible. I exclusively utilize positive reinforcement to reward good behavior instead of punishing unwanted ones.
“Ken is excellent with my dog, Maybelline. Ken took Care of her and everything as we discussed. I Trust Ken To take care of my family dog”

Kim R.Star Sitter
“I actually have experience with Kim as a cat sitter, but I believe it is relevant for anyone considering her as a dog sitter. I am like a helicopter pet parent with high standards for how I want them to be treated. Kim took every concern to heart and followed every instruction. My pets were fed, socialized, and cleaned after and I was sent picture updates while I was away. I rarely trust anyone to watch my pets while I'm away, but I would have no problems with asking her a second time.”

Kaedon K.
“Kaedon has been an exceptional caregiver for my dogs and cat over the past year. During this time he has consistently demonstrated dedication, responsibility, and a genuine love for animals! Because of Kaedon’s passion for animals, he has volunteered many hours over the last few years at Riverdale Animal shelter, helping improving the lives of the pets and people that come into the facility. Kaedon absolutely fulfills the responsibilities expected of a pet sitter and walker, such as proper feeding, walking, grooming, and playtime, also goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of the animals under his care. Additionally, Kaedon communicates, with providing updates with photos & information about the pet’s activities, while I’m away. His professionalism, punctuality, & trustworthiness are unmatched & I truly appreciate how reliable & respectful he is. It is without hesitation that I recommend Kaedon to anyone seeking a compassionate, dependable & skilled pet sitter or walker.”
