“Danny was a great pet sitter for my Cavi, Finley. We left detailed instructions for feeding, snacks, walks and how Finn does not like being alone. We got nearly daily pictures of Finley, including attending yoga and movie night with Danny and friends! We thought that was great that he took him places as Finn normally goes everywhere with us. We missed our pup so much, but felt so much better Danny was by his side and attentive to him. We highly recommend Danny as a pet and housesitter.”

“Victoria was great! She took detailed notes when she came by for the Meet and Greet, and followed all our requests to a T. Communicated often, and we came home to happy pups. We will definitely use her again when our schedules align (she’s very popular).”

“She is amazing!! She took care of boba and updated me all the time. She is very detailed when was taking care of boba and ask many details for my dog. Boba was happy and enjoy the time. I will definitely book with Brijaye!!”

About: Senior care, puppy care. I can do both! Bonus, if your dog likes to run, so do I! Medications no problem, clipping nails, no problem. I work full time, so I’m available evenings, nights, and weekends. I can house sit certain nights, can do drop ins any day of the week. I have worked with a variety of species. I have no issues with reptiles, rodents, amphibians, cats, and dogs etc. I am passionate about animal care.
“Kaylee was such a delight! Shady looked so happy in all the photos she sent me, and she made sure he took all of his allergy meds the whole stay. She kept me informed and updated about him all weekend and I had peace of mind my whole vacation knowing my baby was well taken care of. I will definitely be calling her next time I go out of town!”

“Katelyn was great with our Babybel! We were worried about traveling without her, due to her old age and anxiety, so allowing her to stay at home while we were away gave me such peace of mind. Katelyn spent the weekend at our house with Babybel, and took very good care of her. She also sent multiple pictures letting us know she was a-ok. She kept the house clean, and we definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a good house/dog sitter! We will use her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Rachel, a junior in college and a big animal lover. I currently have a playful 6-month-old kitten, and I also share my apartment with my roommate’s sweet dog—so I’m very used to living with (and loving) both cats and dogs. While I don’t have years of professional pet-sitting under my belt, I do have hands-on experience caring for my own pets, including my kitten and a pet bird I had for several years. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. My class schedule is very flexible, and I have plenty of free time during the day and evenings to care for pets. I’m usually home in the mornings and the evening, and I’m available most weekends. Your pet will get lots of attention and care while you’re away! I’m very attentive to my own pets and make sure their environment is safe, clean, and comfortable. I treat every pet with the same care like, checking food, water, and play areas regularly. I’m gentle, patient, and always follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets stay happy, healthy, and secure while in my care.
“Lori, I felt so comfortable leaving Elon, our Boxer with you! Your regular updates via text, professionalism and just over all love for our dog! 10/10 highly recommend will be using again. She just took care him like he was her own and that is how much we really love our Boxer! Thank you so much Lori!”

“Aziz has been amazing on every front. When I needed a pet sitter with almost zero notice, he was at my house the next day. He was flexible with timing, always responsive, and kept me up to date. My dogs loved spending time with him and were all over him. He took great care of my house, too. He’s a smart, reliable, and compassionate sitter who I will ABSOLUTELY use again.”
About: I’ve parented a wide variety of animals such as chameleons, bearded dragons, and fish. I’ve cared for ages from bottle fed to senior and everything in between! I have also cared for anxious/terrified animals. I have gone through heartworm treatment with a dog start to finish, so I can administer medication! I’m typically available midday and morning but can be adjusted as needed depending on the request. Pretty flexible, full time flight student, check calendar for availability. I feed the cats and dog together in the morning then again around 6pm. They are usually self sufficient during the workday but I walk the dog in the morning (her usual loop) then around 4PM then once before bed. We play throughout the day and occasionally get churu. Dog sleeps in the kennel and cats free roam. Dog is baby gates downstairs when we aren’t home. Dog sometimes zooms outside, let her go she never goes far.
“Anna is a wonderful house/cat sitter! My very shy kittygirl took to her on her pre-stay visit, so I was certain she’d be in good hands. Excellent communication, she clearly cares about her work, and I will not hesitate to book her again.”

Let’s Meet! Send me a message anytime to arrange a meet & greet — I’m happy to make sure you and your pets feel comfortable before booking. I wake up around 6:30-8:00 AM most days and get right to work caring for the pets. Everyone is let out in backyard, or leashed up for a walk around the block. Pets are diligently cared for. Usually this consists of at least 3 walks per day, a visit to the park, and plenty of backyard time. I spend all day with the animals, leaving only for a personal errand or visit to the store. Each animal is analyzed carefully & fit into proper schedules according to their personality, levels of energy, and socialization. I provide a secure, fenced-in yard and individual kennels for each pet’s comfort and safety. Dogs start their day around 6:30–8:00 AM with a 10 to 30-minute walk, followed by supervised backyard playtime and snacks. Kennels are used only for rest and feeding—pets spend the majority of their day active, social, and engaged. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, whether that includes frequent park trips, light obedience training, short backyard outings or bathing. My goal is to ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and enriched in a clean, well-maintained environment.

My focus is always on comfort and communication: you’ll get updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you know your pet is doing great while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and strive to create a calm, positive experience for them every visit. Let’s make sure your pet feels at home, even when you’re not there. Even with a full-time job, I keep a consistent pet-care schedule built around early mornings, lunch breaks, and evenings, ensuring reliable visits and quality time with every pet. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so they stay comfortable and stress free. I keep their space tidy, offer lots of attention, and send consistent updates so you always know how they’re doing.
