“We feel so lucky to have found David; truly, we only wish that we had found him sooner! He is reliable, considerate, and, most importantly, our dog LOVES him. Our dog is older, with some medical issues, and can be standoffish to new people but David won him over almost immediately. We always have complete confidence and peace of mind that our dog is well cared for.”
“Briana was amazing! She kept us thoroughly informed about our cat during each visit and was able to add additional visits last minute through the app. She sent the most adorable photos as well and we appreciate the conscientiousness that she showed while taking care of her.”
“Steph is an INCREDIBLE dog sitter! She truly went above and beyond to make sure my new puppy had an amazing first week adjusting to his new routine. She was so patient with Ozzy and Ozzy very clearly loved his time with Steph. Steph even gave me training tips and provided very detailed updates after each visit- pictures and videos included! She understands dogs on a deep level and knows how to connect with them instantly. She also made sure my apartment was left even better than she found it and even contacted me when she realized there was a leak in my apartment! She went above the normal expectations of a dog sitter, and I feel so lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Steph for all your dog sitting needs!”
“Hanaya was so great with our mini goldendoodle. she was available last minute and really helped us in a crush. Hanaya is very reliable and responsive, and I would definitely use her again!”
“Nina is wonderful. She made me feel so safe leaving my 7 month old puppy. I was able to enjoy my vacation and my dog loved her. She has great character and is an educated woman. I was blessed to find her . I wish she lived closer to me.”
About: I'm from Colombia, and there I had different pets that my family and I rescued through the course of 12 years, birds, parrots, iguanas, cats, dogs. I moved in 2018 to the US., lived basically a year in a pet free environment and couldn't make it longer like that. Because of that, my husband and I went to Colombia, got my two dogs that were with my family, Arya & Kathy (AKA the girls) and brought them with us to the US. And they come with us everywhere that they are allowed! Teaching things to the girls, playing with them, going for walks (and spoiling them a little) is a big part of our lives, and I can surely say that your pet would love being with us because he/she/they would certainly feel part of our family! <3 I'm currently a full time photographer, I edit and do social media management from home, so I'm basically around most of the time, if I have to go out for a shoot it won't be longer than 3 hours, and if it is a big event - it would more likely to be at night or the weekend when my husband is home. He works full time, some days at home, some others at the lab. We live in an apartment and have a huge terrace, there we have a pee-potty station for the girls for when it's too cold or rainy and it's hard to go for a walk! - I am a morning rooster, get up at 5 am, let the girls out or take them out for a walk around our building, offer them breakfast and with hubby start getting ready for work. I stay home and take them out every 3 hours, then a longer walk at noon before lunch and another long walk when hubby comes back from work around 6pm, then we offer the girls dinner. During the day, I need to take short breaks for my eyes and hands, and I use that time to decompress playing with the girls (+ your fur baby), and after our dinner and chatting about our day we all cuddle on the couch or play with the craziest squeaky toys haha! We have a big dog safe terrace, and two fur babies to keep your dog(s) company when they board with us! We don't really crate the girls, instead we have a metallic foldable gate that we set when we both are out so they don't feel the anxiety of been close to the door, but instead they get to be on their space with beds, bowls, & the living room (couch and puff chair) for them to hangout! When I'm home (the 80% of the time) they can walk around the whole apartment, join me on the couch or my office set up or just chill on their beds. We also have a dog spa in our building that allow us to shower, dry and groom them easier and faster in case your baby is in need of one! When dog sitting, I'll make sure to follow your instructions and to help your baby not feel alone!

“Kenisha was amazing! I was traveling overseas for 11 nights and needed someone to come in to check on my 3 cats, feed them and clean up after them. She was so sweet and caring and my cats were happy. Even my extremely shy one came out and let her scratch her head. I highly recommend hiring this beautiful soul to take care of your pets.”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was little (28 now) and love them so much! Whether it’s feeding or walking or bathing I will be so happy to take care of your best friends. I work from Monday - Friday 8-5PM. I can sit dogs after 5PM on weekdays and any time on weekends, I’m pretty open overall other then during the week when I’m working in a doctors office. I live in a pet friendly condominium with a perfect small yard for dogs and I’m walking distance from several dog parks as well, I live in a great area where all dogs are able to socialize very well.
“Stefanie was amazing! Always kept me updated and was so communicative. My kitty cat loved her and I would absolutely recommend her in the future! An amazing sitter.”
About: Hi! I'm Jada, and I've spent over 10 years caring for animals. I've worked with several families long-term and genuinely love animals of all kinds (okay-maybe not reptiles!). I have a cat of my own, multiple dogs in my immediate family, and I have experience with small pets like guinea pigs and hamsters, as I've owned a few of my own. When I dog sit, I follow your routine-walks, clean-up, treats, feeding schedules, and of course, lots of love and cuddles! I've cared for up to 3 dogs at once and stayed up to a week at a time. I am also available to dog walk if a sitter is not needed! For cat sitting, I follow all feeding/scooping instructions and have cared for them for up to 3 weeks at a time. I take pride in being dependable, experienced, loving and attentive. I'd be happy to provide references. Looking forward to meeting your furry family! I work full time, but I am available to walk your dogs in the morning and in the evening during the weekdays. I am also fully available to walk your dogs on the weekends! I also am available to dog-sit and cat. I have experience and can offer references! I will be offering boarding shortly! I typically stay in my clients homes, but am hoping to offer boarding within a few months. I recognize the importance of routine in our furry friend’s lives and understand that being home without their loved one must be confusing. Due to that fact, I follow daily routines and any other directives provided to me.

maria alexandra v.
“I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that Maria loves dogs more than kiddos - and this is a woman who has been hailed as a phenomenal nanny by several families over the last several years. Many people will ask to pet new dogs that they meet, but Maria truly falls in love with every single one. In fact this is true of all animals, but she does have a special place in her heart for doggos. I probably do not have space to write all the stories I could about this part of her life, but here are a few. In addition to the dogs she has cared for while nannying (5 in total), she has had no less than 4 dogs of her own. She has raised newborn puppies, and she has rescued dogs (and cats) that she found abandoned in the street, or that were left by families that could no longer care for them. In fact just the other day she turned the car around when she believed she saw a dog being tied to a pole on the side of the road, but thankfully the owner was only taking a rest and did stay with the animal the entire time. Maria is from Colombia, which has a complicated dog culture. There is an abundance of dogs throughout the country, but they are not always well cared for, and many end up as strays. I personally witnessed her nurture a hungry stray dog while staying at a fancy resort. While the proprietors tried to shoo the animal, thinking it was being bothersome, Maria was actually encouraging the dog to approach. She then calmed him into trusting her so that she could give him some food and water, and he later followed us to our cabana and slept outside. We currently have two dogs in our family, and if I didn’t see it with my own eyes every day, I would not believe two dogs could ever be this happy and comfortable. She does not simply provide them food and water. She rolls around and plays with them whenever they bring her one of their favorite toys, and she lays down with them on whatever surface of the house suits them in the moment. They have so many choices, with 3 beds of their own, a comfy couch and ottoman, and even occasionally our own bed. She bathes them, grooms them, cleans their teeth, and even paints their nails (yes really!). To them, I may be one of their “humans”, but she is truly a part of their pack. Arya, Kathy (our mini French poodles), and Maria would love a chance to share their love with the special furry member of your family, and I promise they will be so very well cared for!!”

“Ali is amazing with animals! She has watched my chihuahua many times, and despite my dog being very finicky and shy, Ali does an incredible job every time. My chihuahua absolutely adores her and gets so excited to see her. I couldn’t ask for a more caring and trustworthy sitter.”

She grew up with Spy, a powerful but loving English Bull terrier, and then spent her adolescent years with 2 French bulldogs, a beagle and a mini golden doodle. Lily spends most time now with Blue, her 5 yo Blue Frenchie and is capable of managing your furry family member.”

Serena was amazing taking care of our cat Stella. She was very prompt and frequent with updates and included great photos. We were out of town for the weekend and she gave us lots of peace of mind. When we got home our cat didn’t even act like she missed us. We would 100% book with her again!
Sarah is an excellent communicator and really great with my dog! She is friendly and caring, and did everything she could to accommodate my pup's special needs. I highly recommend her if you're looking for someone to drop in and take care of your furry friend.
