“Josefa was conscientious, responsible, and very caring to our cat while we were away. I felt very at ease with her staying at our home. She asked questions to make sure she knew the ins and outs of our house and cat's care and was very responsive and communicative. Josefa was patient and present getting to know our cat and I could tell from the pictures she gave him a lot of love. She left our house spotless and is super pleasant to work and talk with. I'll definitely book again!”


“Our experience with Jaidi was once again wonderful! Great communication, many many cute pictures, followed every single one of our instructions and requests and had been just awesome. Not only we got back to a happy pup, the apartment was also in impeccable shape as well as our plants! Couldn’t be happier, thanks again Jaidi!!”


“I could not ask for better people to take care of my hammy when I’m away. Milena is so thoughtful with all her updates and pictures she sends, she stayed at my apartment with hammy over thanksgiving break and truly put my mind at ease being away knowing he was in such good hands! Hammy sometimes won’t go to the bathroom or eat with strangers but Milena put him at such ease and comfort he had no issues! She was so thoughtful to ask about his routine for when it was raining and to check to see if he had a raincoat around she could make sure he had on him as well. I highly recommend them for any of your pet sitting needs!! 10/10”


“Angelica was so wonderful with Pig! She took such great care of our sassy old pittie and even help us start a new crate sleeping routine thanks Pig deciding she needed to sprain her ankle right before we left. She checked in with us each day and was timely in replying to any questions or texts I sent her way. She was respectful of our home and went above and beyond her responsibilities by bring in any packages/mail that was delivered and cleaned all the lickmats, kongs and toys. We look forward to booking her again.”


“Eliza was fantastic with our 2 challenging pups! She communicated with me every day so I know my dogs were safe and happy, and that put my mind at ease as well. Would definitely book again!”


“Elias was an incredible friend to our dog Ellie over the weekend. He is personable, kind, responsible and responsive. He sent us wonderful photos every day, kept us up to date on activities, diet, etc. My next door neighbor even made a point of telling me what a great sitter Elias was. She said she could hear him playing with Ellie in the yard and how great he was with her. Ellie looked genuinely sad when Elias left the house after we got home. Elias was also responsible and neat and left the house in pristine condition. I am happy to recommend Elias whole-heartedly and will certainly call him the next time the need arises.”



“Jen took such great care of our pups. She paid close attention to all of my concerns and she remembered the weird idiosyncrasies about both dogs. Jen seemed to give them all of the attention and love we could’ve asked for. So glad we found her!”


About: I’ve raised / owned and trained many pets my whole life. Always been a animal lover and my friends all come to me for help with their pets. I make my own schedule, sometimes very busy sometimes very open. I am a licensed independent drone pilot and run my own business. I have my fiancée and family and pets of my own to care for as well Getting to know the pet I’m sitting is first, then just making sure the pet is walked fed and taken care of to the best of my ability is my main concern. If the pet is up for it I would love to bond and play with them


“Diana was great! She came through in the clutch after we had a last minute sitter cancellation. She spent quality time with Dinho multiple times a day, called right away the one time Dinho was acting up, and was easy to coordinate with. Would definitely book her again!”

About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant in an animal hospital, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs, I’m confident handling a wide range of personalities and medical needs. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently attend college Monday-Thursday during short morning or afternoon hours; typically in class between 8am-12pm or 2pm-6pm. I also work overnights as needed on Fridays and Saturdays (3 shifts a month). When caring for pets in your home, I follow their routine exactly to keep them comfortable and stress free.

“Michael and Durell are lovely. Durell watched our dogs (one elderly dog and one very active puppy) at our home and they were very happy! Thank you!”


About: As someone who has personally cared for six dogs at once—including different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels—I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, calm, and cared for when you're away. I’m naturally organized, reliable, and attentive to routines, whether that means scheduled walks, feedings, medications, or crate time. I treat every pet with the same respect and attention I’d give my own. Whether it's a high-energy pup who needs playtime or an older dog who prefers quiet companionship, I adapt to what your dog needs most. I also keep communication clear and consistent—expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind. If you're looking for a responsible sitter who respects your home and genuinely enjoys caring for animals, I’d love to connect. I have no problem taking special instructions from owners being that some breeds need to be taken care of differently. Dogs have always been special to me and being a dog sitter/care giver is a great opportunity. I am currently unemployed so my schedule is pretty much open at the moment! I prefer the mornings over afternoons but whichever the customer prefers. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize comfort, routine, and respect—for both the pet and the space. I stick closely to your pet’s usual schedule, whether that includes feeding times, walks, crate time, or medications. I give pets plenty of attention and play, while also being mindful of their energy levels and boundaries. I always clean up after myself (and them), and make sure your home is just as you left it—or better. I check in regularly with photo updates and am available if you have any specific instructions or changes. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away—without disrupting their normal environment.

Star Sitter


“Michael and Durell are lovely. Durell watched our dogs (one elderly dog and one very active puppy) at our home and they were very happy! Thank you!”


Haili D.
“Haili watched our two English Bulldogs for 6 nights/7 days and to say she was amazing is an understatement! My dogs are not easy to handle and she did it like a pro. My 68 lb male loves walks, he's really strong and can really pull and she had no problems handling him three times a day. Being bulldogs, they have plenty of medical issues and she literally handled all forms of meds including eye drops, ear drops, pills and even oral meds via syringe (lactulose for anyone who has a baby w/ stomach issues) and she did all this with no problem or pushback. She was very attentive and responsive when we checked in while giving us our space and not reaching out for every little thing so we can enjoy our vacation. She left the place just like we left it and cleaned up well considering my female vomits a lot and uses wee wee pads for all her bathroom breaks. She was very professional and sweet and I'd highly recommend her for any pet walking or sitting!”
