“Absolutely perfect. Jihae watched our three dogs while staying at our house for several nights while we were away. As basically a complete stranger, she went above and beyond what we asked of her, was super communicative, and was overall just perfect. I highly highly recommend.”

About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life — it’s not just something I do, it’s who I am. I currently have two boys of my own: Basil, a French Bulldog, and Cashew, a Morkie. I also regularly care for a German Shepherd, a Chihuahua, and several other breeds, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. From puppies to seniors, I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs. Your pup will be loved, watched closely, and treated like one of my own. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule that fits pet care naturally into my day. I’m available for dog walks in the evenings and for boarding or sitting on weekends. I also have availability during school breaks and holidays, so I’m a reliable option when you need coverage during those busy times. The safety of every pet in my care is my top priority. At my home, I have a dedicated fenced-off area just for dogs, so they have a secure space to move around freely. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do a full walkthrough to make sure all doors, gates, and exits are secured before letting any pup roam. I stay hyper-aware and attentive at all times — your pet won’t just be watched, they’ll be genuinely looked after.

“Julia did such a great job taking care of our Lola! This was our first time using rover so we had been nervous to have someone new watching our dog, but Julia was really accommodating with us and having her meet Lola beforehand was so helpful and made us feel much more comfortable. Julia sent us lots of photos and gave updates each day that made us feel at ease that Lola was doing great. Highly recommend her!”

About: I am an educator and musician who loves animals and enjoys spending time outdoors. I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child. As an animal lover and cat owner myself, I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether it’s a dog walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship while you’re away, I take pride in treating every pet with kindness, patience, and attention. I understand that pets are cherished members of the family, and I strive to provide the same level of care and affection that I would want for my own pet. My professional background has taught me the importance of reliability, genuine care, communication, and attention to detail—qualities I bring to every pet care visit. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to arrange my schedule around my clients’ needs and provide dependable care for their pets. The safety and well-being of your pets is always my top priority. I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own and take care to follow each pet’s routine, instructions, and personality needs closely. During dog walks, I use secure leash handling at all times and remain alert to surroundings, other animals, and potential hazards. I avoid unsafe interactions with unfamiliar dogs and always prioritize calm, controlled, and positive experiences for your pet. For cat sitting and drop-in visits, I ensure doors and windows are securely closed, litter boxes are cleaned properly, food and water are refreshed, and your cat is comfortable and stress-free. I also take time to provide companionship and gentle interaction based on each cat’s comfort level. I am reliable, punctual, and communicative, and I provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. In case of any emergency, I will contact you immediately and follow any instructions you provide, including reaching out to your preferred veterinarian if needed. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and genuinely looked after while you are away.

“Liz did an excellent job following my litany of instructions for a week long house sitting. She had a 100% success rate with insulin injections on my diabetic cat. Very happy and will book her again for another vacation”

About: I previously volunteered for a greyhound adoption agency in Australia where I gained hands-on experience caring for retired greyhounds, including those with anxiety. Before moving to the U.S I also had my own greyhound and successfully transitioned her to apartment living, so I understand the unique needs of the breed. I currently work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m often available on short notice and can adjust my availability to suit your needs.

“Sydney was absolutely incredible. She watched our dog, Cody, over Thanksgiving and we felt completely at ease with her staying in our home. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely knows what she’s doing with dogs. Her dog Riley stayed with Cody and the two of them became best friends—walking together, playing together, even napping side by side. Sydney handled their introduction perfectly and brought a doggie gate to make sure they were safely separated at first. Everything she did was thoughtful and professional. Cody is a German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix and Riley is a Golden Retriever, and they got along beautifully thanks to Sydney’s calm, experienced approach. We’re so grateful for her care and will 100% use her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend Sydney!”

Not only did he take excellent care of my dog but also went above and beyond to ensure the house was tidy. I highly recommend Allen to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and professional dog sitter. I will definitely be booking again!”

“Gabby was great! She followed all of our instructions, sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, and went above and beyond making our dogs feel comfortable and loved while we were away. She played with our dogs favorite toys and relaxed with them throughout her stay. She let us know if she left the house and when she would be back. She kept the house clean, which was nice to come back to. This was our first time using Gabby but not the last. We will definitely be using her again! Thank you, Gabby!”

About: I've had pets my entire life and have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a very young girl. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to feed, walk, check in on, and love their animals. I'm calm, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm available for pet sitting and will give your home and pets the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I know when they are happy, sad, upset & in pain. I'm an early riser who works from home, which means I'm present during the day and evening. Pets in my care benefit from a calm, consistent environment with someone who is genuinely around — not just passing through. Morning walks, regular feeding, and attentive check-ins fit naturally into my daily routine. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect — as if it were my own. I am attentive, observant, and take the safety of every pet seriously. I maintain feeding routines, keep doors and gates secured, and stay alert to any changes in a pet's behavior or health. You will always know your pet and home are in trustworthy hands. I have very keen situational awareness.
