About: I’ve always been obsessed with dogs for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog when I was 6, and she became the love of my life. I cared for her until I was 19. She was my best friend, part of my daily routine, and went everywhere with me. Since then, I’ve had two rescue dogs, Nani (6) and Lupita (2), who are my whole world. My pets are truly family! They sleep with me, have birthday parties, and are treated with all the love and care they deserve. Because I know how hard it is to trust someone with your biggest treasure, I care for every pet as if they were my own. All my friends always leave their dogs with me when they travel because they know how much love and attention I give to every animal. I have experience walking, bathing, grooming, and playing with dogs of all ages. I’ve also trained my own dogs to follow simple commands like sitting, catching the ball, and peeing on command. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, my first dog had cancer, and I made sure her final years were full of love and comfort. I run my own business from home, so I have a super flexible schedule! I’m home most of the day, which means your pets will always have company, attention, and lots of love. I can easily adjust my routine for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I don’t host pets in my home because I need to respect my older dog, Nani, she’s super sweet but takes time to get comfortable around new dogs. Instead, I offer house sitting and walks at the client’s home. This way, your pet can stay relaxed in their own space, following their routine and getting all the love and care they need.
About: Hi! I’m Kathleen! I work in tech and am currently between roles, so I’ve happily become a full-time dog sitter. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I’ll keep them happy, comfortable, and on their usual routine, with plenty of attention, potty breaks, and love. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know they’re doing great. I’d love to meet your pup! ❤️ I have a flexible and open schedule and plenty of time to spend with your dog. I can work around their usual meals, walks, playtime, and naps. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, from meals and walks to the little quirks that make them them. I have a dog at home. She loves being around other dogs and is very lazy and cuddly!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Volunteer for 10 years. Cat and dog foster of 5+ years. Great with any breed of dog or cat and have a dog of my own plus two cats. Working remote and have time to help watch your babies! Working remote, free all day and on weekends! My schedule is very flexible and willing to do overnight stays if needed.

About: My name is Maria Teresa and I have spent my entire life around animals. I have always felt they deserve the best! My genuine love for animals goes beyond any human comprehension. I always go above and beyond of what is expected of me because I have pets too and understand that they are our babies. I treat my babies like they are just that, babies! How could you not due to their pure innocent nature? I am a very responsible, loving and caring individual that will always have your pets best interest at heart. I intuitively know what is needed to connect with them, a gift that I discovered at a young age. I also love to laugh and play around so your pet will be highly entertained. You will never need to worry, your pet will be protected and cared for as if you never left. Please let me know how I can help you make your time away from your pet more carefree and manageable. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. MT I'm currently working part time and have a really flexible schedule so I can accommodate different time of the day and week,I can also stay over night as a pet sitter. I provide a safe ,clean and loving environment for all my dogs and cats babies. I stay in a pet friendly building with gates and security so everyone is safe.
“Was out of town to attend a wedding shower luncheon and had my dog on the trip. Was so relieved and happy to find Erika to take care of my pup for the day. Erika was wonderful. My dog was happy to be with her in her home. I Highly recommend Erika!!”
“I had a great experience with Ryan. He took excellent care of my senior dogs, including one who was healing from an ingrown nail and had some trouble walking. He handled him with such care and patience. I appreciated the photo update while I was away and both drop-off and pick-up were seamless. My dogs came back calm and content. I would definitely recommend Ryan and will be booking again in the future.”
“Left Bailey with Nadia and Nadia kept her busy and entertained and loved the entire day. I will definitely be going back - it seemed like a great environment for my dog and will be a great resource when i need to get her some more stimulation.”

I almost hesitate to leave a review for Kaitlind because I don't want her to become so booked that I can never use her again. She is absolutely fantastic in every way. Seriously, I cannot recommend her highly enough. We have two large dogs. One is young and somewhat rambunctious. The other is older, in diapers and quite scared of new people and routines. We had never left them at anyone else's home before, so when we needed to this time, I was worried. We met with several other sitters and it just didn't click. The dogs were upset and we weren't comfortable with the environment. Then we met Kaitlind. Our afraid-of-everything dog went prancing into her house with her tail wagging, clearly comfortable and at ease. Kaitlind is kind, knowledgeable, flexible, accommodating and an excellent communicator. She is so understanding and really, really good with the dogs. We will never use anyone else until Kaitlind moves away or stops pet sitting. She's fantastic. If I could give 10 stars, I would.
Ada was literally so flexible with our timing and such a great communicator. She responded so fast to my questions and worked with me for a last minute daycare for my dog Otto. She absolutely saved our butts and it looks like Otto had a great time too. Thanks Ada!
Our dogs loved Maxine! She was so great with them- taking them on multiple walks on the beach and paying special attention to our instructions and routine. She was also available on short notice which we were so thankful for! Multiple updates and pictures throughout the day and always responded quickly. We will definitely use Max again!! 🫶🏻
We can't say enough wonderful things about Chia and Jeremy! They took exceptional care of Kaahya and treated her like one of their own. Throughout the day, they made sure she got plenty of pee and poo breaks, took her on a long walk, and even brought her along on adventures to the beach and a coffee shop. It was clear that they genuinely cared about making her experience fun, enriching, and full of attention. One of the things we appreciated most was the constant communication. Chia sent us lots of photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Seeing Kaahya happy, relaxed, and enjoying herself made all the difference. When we picked her up, she was content, well-exercised, and clearly had been showered with love and care. It's not easy leaving your fur-baby with someone else, but Chia & Jeremy made the entire experience effortless and reassuring. We would trust them with Kaahya again in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, attentive, reliable pet sitters. Thank you both for going above and beyond—we know Kaahya had an amazing time with you!

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
