“Simla has been caring for my two cats, Smokey and Nova, for over a year now, and I truly couldn’t ask for a more trustworthy and loving sitter. She’s incredibly reliable, attentive, and treats my cats like they’re her own. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in her care whether it’s for a quick check-in or an extended stay. Simla is one of the few people I trust completely with Smokey and Nova, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and understands animals.”

11. Matthew A.
About: Hi, I'm Matthew! I’ve been around pets my whole life—helping my family care for rescued dogs and cats from a young age. Whether it's a walk around the block, a home drop-in, or overnight care, I treat every pet as if they’re part of my own family. I'm patient, reliable, and always happy to send photo updates to give you peace of mind! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup throughout the day. I love staying active and would be thrilled to have a furry companion join me on daily walks or little adventures. My residence has a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and I also offer a spacious indoor area that's separate from other pets—perfect for pups who need their own space.

About: Hi my name is Katee. I love animals and I’ve owned dogs on and off my entire life so I’m very experienced in their care. I’ve dealt with dogs of all different breeds, ages and sizes. I’d be happy to help you out whether you’re on vacation or just need help while you are at work. I’m available Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday mornings and afternoons. If you need any help at other times I can work hard to accommodate you. I can also house sit for houses with other animals such as cats or birds if needed. I’m available for walks rain or shine so don’t hesitate to book. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I hope to hear from you soon! I have mostly flexible hours during the week as right now I only have prior commitments on Tuesday and Thursday from 12:00-4:30. Any other time I am happy to accommodate you and your furry friend! The most important part of pet sitting is to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable. My goal is to minimize disruption to their usual life and routine and keep your pet happy and healthy.


17. Mahek P.
“Every single time Mahek sees a pet she automatically tries to see if she can pet them. She is a genuine animal lover through and through. She has dog sit for me on multiple ocassions before, and every time she puts in so much effort to make sure my pup is happy and active. Sometimes I think my dog likes her more than me! But I love her dearly and I would trust her with my pet anyday and you guys should too!”
