“Nora was very attentive during the meet and greet, she asked a lot of great questions. Nora sent adorable pictures of my cat, Tiny, while cat sitting! No complaints. I would book with Nora again!”


“Julia has watched my 11 week old puppy a couple times now and I have nothing but good things to say about her. She is very kind and knowledgeable. She keeps me updated with pictures and texts the whole time which I really appreciate. I always feel comfortable having her in my apartment to look after my little baby. I highly recommend her!!”


“Kathryn is awesome!!!! My husband and I had a bad experience with Rover last June with another sitter and haven’t traveled since. After moving to Connecticut, we decided to give it a shot and test it out again for one night. Kathryn was so kind, polite and reassuring that all will be well after listening to our horrid experience last year. She offered two visits before the actual sitting just to get to know our Pep and us. She always showed up the time she said she would. Pep warmed up to her quickly. Dogs know :) During the sitting, she sent multiple updates and went above and beyond. She did everything she could to make sure pep was accommodated and comfortable! She also respected our home and left it as she found it. Will definitely be booking Kathryn again. We can’t thank you enough”


About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and for over 10 years, I’ve had the joy of caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. At home, I currently care for two large dogs and a couple of cats—though at one point, we had up to five rescue animals under one roof! One of our dogs came to us with both medical and behavioral challenges, so I’m very comfortable providing specialized care, including giving medications (oral and injectable) and working with pets who have specific training needs or require a bit more patience and understanding. As a full-time artist, I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I can provide your pet with the attention, routine, and care they deserve—whether that’s playtime, walks, medication, or simply keeping them company while you're away. I am prepared to follow whatever directions you require for your pet in home. You and your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family member!

“We went for a two night getaway and left our two Pitbulls and our Britney with Jade. She communicated with texts and pics while we were away which made me feel so much better about leaving our fur babies. When we arrived home the house was spotless and the dogs appeared happy and content as if we had never left. I am so hoping she is available EVERY time we go away this summer !”

About: With years of hands-on experience interacting with dogs of all breeds and temperament, I’ve developed a deep understanding and genuine passion for canine care. From working closely with shelter dogs to supervising group play sessions of up to 60 dogs, I’ve learned to manage pet dynamics with patience, awareness and confidence. My background is supported by numerous courses in canine safety, behavior, communication and proper interaction techniques. I’m also trained in administering medications and handling special care needs, ensuring every dog - whether in a home or social setting - receives the attention, respect and care they deserve. I currently work at a dog care facility part time. My schedule varies by day but I remain committed to accommodating my clients whenever possible. When I take care of dogs in a client’s home, I try to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for both the dog and the owner. I stick to the dog’s usual routine- feeding, walks, playtime, and any meds they might need- so they feel comfortable and at home. I also send updates and photos to reassure my clients’ that their pets are happy and doing well.

“Sadie was wonderful! She is very kind and professional. The house was exactly as we left it and our fur babies were well loved and cared for, we were nervous about using Rover as we never had before but so glad we did. We would trust Sadie watching our home and fur babies anytime!”


“Gina was very kind and watched our 2 mini aussies and house sat while we were on vacation. She left the house clean and exactly how we left it. Was a very respectful house guest. We will definitely book her again.”


About: As a dog mom myself, I know how important routine, patience, and love are to a happy pup. I’ve personally trained my own dog and have years of experience dog sitting for all kinds of breeds and temperaments. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just someone calm and kind to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule—I work from home and have a flexible routine, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s midday walks, feeding, or just keeping your pets company, I’m able to adjust my workday to meet their needs and keep them happy and comfortable. In my client’s home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, medications, or preferred playtime rituals. I also keep things tidy and make sure your pet feels calm, safe, and loved while you’re away

“Drake was great to have as a house sitter for our two pups. At the initial meeting the dogs went right up to him. He spent some time getting to know them. While we were gone Drake would text anytime he had a question. Hire him for any dog care you may have”


“Amber was absolutely lovely! Our regular cat sitter fell through, so we were a bit nervous to find someone else in a hurry. She was everything we needed and more. Very communicative, sent pics and it was obvious our cats took to her quickly. Would absolutely use again in the future. ?”


“We're grateful to Gloria for staying in our home while we were out of town. She took good care of our two dogs; I know the dogs appreciated her company and the ability to stay in their own home while we were away :)”


About: Growing up I always wanted to work with animals. I worked at a pet store for a few years. In that time I learned a lot about small animals and reptiles. I ended up taking a few "misfits"home. I've taken in a Gerbil, Syrian Hamster, Crested Gecko, Parakeets, and a Green Cheeked Conure. They were the most amazing little guys. I've moved out of my parents and now have two kittens named Chowder and Liam and my green cheeked conure Charlie. Of course there are also the family pets I was not able to take when I moved out. Our dog Dodger is a hound mix and our cat Kitty I’m currently working part-time and in school part-time. So I can be pretty flexible. I’m available weekday mornings and evenings. Also weekend afternoons and evenings. When I am entering a home I always keep a calm voice. My priority is safety for both me and the pet. So getting them secure and comfortable before moving on to the tasks.

“We were so fortunate to have Hailey care for our very busy and loving one year-old golden lab. We were out for a full day and we had no concerns at all about the care for Gracie or our home. Hailey is one of the most reliable, trustworthy, and easy-going sitters we’ve had. She followed our guidelines, gave medication and left the house spotless. We will be reaching out to Hailey again!”


About: I have had many types of pets since the age of 3. I’ve taken care of numerous dogs. I have a large yard and live in a quite suburban neighborhood. I have experience giving meds to dogs as well. I am available after 4:30 pm on weekdays and most weekends. I will make arrangements in advance if needed. If I am unavailable on a weekend I will update my schedule. My dog sleeps on my bed with me and has plenty of freedom in the house. I am very flexible with traveling and have my own car.

About: I had a dog for a little over 15 years which passed away only year ago. I miss having a pet with me during the day or snuggling up watching TV at night. I am semi retired and would love to give all my love to animals. While your baby pet is under my care, while mommy and daddy are at work, go out on a date or even go on a short vacation. I live in safe and quiet neighborhood which makes it an ideal area to walk dogs. I have plenty of experience handling ill pets, so if your furry baby requires medication, they will be in good hands.

Here are some highlights of her exceptional care: Personalized Attention: Ellen took the time to understand my dog’s unique needs, preferences, and quirks. She tailored her care accordingly, making sure my dog felt safe and secure. Regular Updates: Throughout my trip, Ellen kept me informed with adorable photos and messages. Seeing my dog happily playing or peacefully napping brought immense comfort. Extra Mile: Ellen didn’t just cover the basics; she exceeded expectations. She followed feeding schedules meticulously, ensured regular walks, and was evident that she genuinely cared. Peace of Mind: Knowing my dog was well-cared-for allowed me to enjoy my time away without worry. Ellen’s reliability and commitment were truly commendable.
