Amanda was great with our kitties while we were away on vacation! She sent lots of updates with photos/videos and was very respectful of our space. Amanda went above and beyond during meal times as our kitties need to be separated and can be picky eaters. I would highly recommend Amanda for any of your pet care needs!

Melissa is simply amazing. We have re-booked her over 10 times for home visits and home sitting our pet, Scott. We all were going on an international trip of ~10 days and we were worried since this was the first time we using someone’s services to stay at home and take care of Scott. Punctuality is Melissa’s virtue and Scott was absolutely comfortable with her. All those 10 days, we were very peaceful and Melissa ensured, with pictures and videos of Scott, that we were always in touch! A very big shout out to Melissa for a fantastic service!

About: I have been around dogs for most of my life. I have also volunteered at one of the largest assistance dog organizations for more than 13 years. I typically handle between 20-30 dogs of multiple breeds every week. My responsibilities include socialization, light grooming, and free run with playtime. I'm currently training in transportation and first aid I will provide a safe, fun, and playful environment for you Cherished Canine. My horrendous personal experience with pet sitting has alerted me to the pitfalls of in-home pet care.

Staci is a phenomenal dog sitter! She stayed at our place for a whole week and watched two of our pups, one of whom is really quite a challenge. He has health issues and an attitude and Staci was able to accommodate his needs. Thanks to her we were able to take our first vacation together in three years!!!

Kimberly was so amazing while she watched my dog Rocky. She saw signs of anxiety, but went at his own pace and she’s really experienced. I felt really relieved, knowing that my dog was in good hands. Highly recommend.

About: Hi! I'm Cat, and it is my literal pleasure to care for your dog, cat, lizard, bunny, or parrot! What you can expect from me: -Fast, clear, and concise executive-level communication. -Deep breed-specific knowledge of behavior underpinned by my time as a vet receptionist -High quality photos -Easy, flexible scheduling -Complete focus and attention to detail -Genuine joy and enthusiasm to care for your pet In my previous life, I was a design program manager within corporate tech (Meta, Comcast, Pinterest), and I'm thrilled and privileged to pivot into pet care. I have cared for dogs of every size, flavor, and temperament. I have extensive experience training dogs, and quite frankly, I've watched a whole lot of Westminster dog show. In particular, I have specialized experience with shy or nervous dogs and will provide them the space and understanding needed to relax and feel comfortable. I am happy to walk or jog to help burn canine energy. Not afraid to get down in the dirt and play! I have been deeply involved in cat rescue since 2020, when I began working remotely. I have fostered dozens of cats over the years. This includes kittens with complex medical issues. I am very capable at medicating cats and kittens as well as identifying when a cat may be feeling unwell. When you board with me, your pet will not be left alone for more than 1 hour. I only board pets from one household at a time and provide dedicated personal care. When your baby is at my house, they are family. Feel free to reach out with any additional questions. I'm currently working remotely doing project-based contract work, so I have plenty of availability and scheduling flexibility. If boarding or house-sitting, I will be fully available and no pet will be left alone longer than an hour. I have a friendly chihuahua mix (8 lbs) and 2 cats, but if needed, I have plenty of room to give everyone their own space. I have an unfenced backyard with plenty of room to romp. Dogs will always be leashed or tethered in yard.

About: I’ve always possessed a deep love for animals and have grown up around pets my entire life. I have several years of hands-on experience working at a grooming salon, where I assisted with bathing, feeding, and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters, which helped me better understand dog behavior, body language, and each pet’s unique emotional needs. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I would be honored to care for your furry family member like they’re my own! 🐾 I recently graduated and am taking a gap year, pursuing additional courses as an aspiring physician assistant and working part-time in healthcare. My schedule is very flexible throughout the week, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets. I’m generally available most weekdays and weekends, except Thursdays. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to body language, feeding schedules, medications if needed, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

We had Kelly come dog sit in January for a week. She was amazing! Very comforting for us that my dog, Sophie, would be cared for in my home. Sophie is normally an anxious dog. While Kelly was with her, Sophie was completely fine. I really enjoyed the photos of Sophie that Kelly sent me during her stay. Kelly stayed overnight for Sophie, she was very respectful of my home and left it the way she found it. I would highly recommend Kelly for your pet needs!!!!

Melanie and Anthony are absolute gems as pet sitters and house guests. They are so kind and caring- both towards animals and towards us humans - taking great care of all of us during their stay. They sent lovely photos of our pets being adored and living their best lives in our absence and they took great care to be respectful about my needs as a person with Celiac disease, even leaving extra GF staples for me and cleaning the house! They are truly great humans and we feel so lucky to have found them. Booking them again ASAP!!

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have had Bernese Mountain Dogs since I was born, including having three Bernese at one time. Caring for large dogs has given me extensive experience with feeding schedules, walks, grooming needs, exercise, and providing attentive care. In addition to dogs, I have also raised two bunnies and two hamsters, giving me experience with small animals and understanding the importance of patience and gentle care. Currently, I care for one Bernese Mountain Dog, one bunny, and two French Bulldogs. My lifelong experience with both large and small pets helps set me apart as someone who is comfortable, reliable, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. I’m currently home for the summer from college so most of my days are free. I am currently working part time, two days a week at night. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In both my home and a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water at all times, give pets plenty of exercise and attention, and make sure they have a clean environment. I am experienced caring for both large and small animals, so I understand that each pet has different needs and personalities

Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my 13 month puppy. Wesley is high energy and loves attention! He really loved Sarah and I felt confident leaving him! Sarah communicated during her stay and even sent pictures. Wesley is a fussy eater and she got him to eat a meal. Sarah left my home neat and I would highly recommend her services. Don’t hesitate to book!

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog owner with years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets—from large breeds like Mastiffs to small dogs and indoor cats—adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to making pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m excited to spend my free time meeting new pets and treating them as if they were my own! As a current medical student who is miles away from my own furry friend, I’m excited to spend my free time caring for others’ pets. I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekday mornings, late afternoons, and evenings for walks or drop-in visits, as well as longer care on weekends. I’m reliable with timing and always aim to accommodate your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent, personalized care. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and aim to maintain your pet’s normal environment to help them feel at ease. I’m attentive during walks and visits, keeping a close eye on behavior, surroundings, and any potential safety concerns. I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your pets in the hands of others. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and trustworthy experience for both you and your pet.

Brianna was absolutely fantastic while caring for my pets. She watched my six dogs and my cat and handled everything with patience, kindness, and genuine care. She kept me consistently updated by sending photos and messages, which really put me at ease while I was away. It was clear my pets were comfortable, happy, and in great hands. I would highly recommend Brianna to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter.

Paul watched our two new rescue German Shepherds for an overnight when we went out of town after only having the dogs for 2 weeks. It was such a relief to find someone close by who is a GSD lover. Both dogs took to Paul & his wife immediately. We loved getting photo and video updates while we were away from our new fur babies!
