“Martha was great with Cosmo! I returned to a happy cat at the end of my trip. I enjoyed seeing the photo updates and knowing Cosmo was having a good time. Scheduling was very easy and I appreciated the meet and greet.”


2. Karen D.


“Karen was a great sitter for my 17 year old pup. She really understood the needs of a quirky senior dog. She was very attentive in caring for my dog whose limited mobility has left her very dependent on help from people. Karen also was great in communicating with me. I would love to book Karen again.”

Would definitely recommend Megan, and we’re already rebooking her for our next trip!”

About: I've taken care of pets for my friends and also volunteered at a nearby shelter so I know my way around taking care of animals. I'm currently a student commuting from home with no classes on Fridays and availability on the weekends so on those days I have a pretty flexible schedule to take care of your pet. I could also be free on some weekday mornings depending on the circumstance. I strive to create a fun and safe experience for your pet while I take care of them whether I am walking them or staying with them. I also know how much your pet means to you so I hope to build our trust and give you no reason to worry while I care for your best friend.


12. Scott H.

“Scott and his son were terrific cat sitters while we were away for a week. We had never used an app-based service for this so we naturally had reservations but Scott put us at ease. The visits were all thorough and timely. We enjoyed getting photos every day. We’ll be booking Scott again!”


13. Sherine N.
About: I have taken care of family members dogs by bringing the dog into my home when they were away, as well as stopping by their place to feed and walk their dog. I have sent pictures to update the family member in regards to when the dog was picked up, dropped off and photos of their walk. I understand the need to know because I would want to know ☺️ This also includes cats!! I can currently drop in Monday through Friday from 7am to 1:30. However, I can do afternoon and evenings on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Weekends vary however reach out!! There could be a possibility I can drop in the late afternoon to evening hours! I have an enclosed balcony for easy outdoor access and I have a room to host a dog or a cat. I have two boy cats of my own who are very good with other animals.


14. Boryana S.

“Boryana was very attentive to our kitties and made time to play with them. We appreciated the detailed updates and pictures. She took care of everything and made us feel at ease while away from our fur babies.”


15. Karina C.
“Great walker! Takes the family dog out for long walks every time. Our dog loves her, and if we hired her any more often, I think he'd end up choosing her over us! Friendly, punctual, and highly recommended.”


16. Lindsey D.


“I have had Lindsey do drop-in visits twice with my dog. She arrives on time and sends us pictures and updates of how it went. The visits helped my family have a great day out knowing that our dog and home were in good hands. We’ll definitely book her again.”


17. Kassidy K.
“Kassidy is a fantastic pet sitter! She is reliable, and caring. Her attention to detail and commitment to giving your pet the best possible care while you are away makes her a great choice for anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. Highly recommend!”


18. Ashley S.

“Ashley saved my life. I had hired her to visit my cat, Maddie, just for a long weekend and an emergency trip to the hospital and surgery extended my stay by a week. Ashley was totally flexible and extended the contract at a moment's notice, which was an enormous relief on top of everything else I was going through. Thank you thank you thank you, Ashley!”




19. Kelly S.

“Kelly was wonderful! My shy, nervous dog was so comfortable with her (3 minutes into the first meeting, Cocoa was completely at ease with Kelly). Kelly communicates really well, so you always know when she's stopped by and how the visit went. I returned home to a happy, and well-exercised, dog. I highly recommend Kelly.”


20. Jillian A.
“Every year since she was 2 years old, Jillian asked my parents to get her a dog. They finally caved about 10 years ago. She is a lover and caretaker by nature and she has taken such good care of our family pup, Bentley. She has also stepped in whenever my sister & I need help with our dogs - whether it be walking, feeding, playing or generally just keeping them company when we go on trips. I have no doubt she'll do a great job for whoever needs her help!”
