“Dayana did an exceptional job caring for my large family of pets. As someone who is nervous leaving my pets to travel and leaves an extensive breakdown with notes, Dayana exceeded my expectations. You will not be disappointed to leave your fur babies in her care. She even had her own pet emergency and still made it to my home on time for visits! My pets loved her and when I arrived home it was like I never left! We are so grateful for her. 10/10 experience!”


“Donovan was great with our pets! We have a dog and three cats at home and he took care of all of them for the weekend. Our dog Odin was especially happy to see him each visit. Thank you Donovan!”


“Iliana is such a caring and good hearted person! She took great care of our Labrador. Always kept in touch sending photos and videos and went out of her way to make sure he was happy and taken care of.”


“Kiara was kind and responsive. She took extra trouble with our cat and really seemed to enjoy the time she spent with him. Our cat seemed happy when we returned and may have even grown attached to her. I trust Kiara in our home and we were very grateful to find her. She went the extra mile to provide a good service, even leaving a very thoughtful gift. We have a wonderful picture and momento to remember her stay. Thank you Kiara!!”


“We’re so grateful for Melida! She showed our pups so much love and attention, really spent quality time with them. You can tell she truly cares—she played with them and made them feel happy and safe. Highly recommend!”


About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my patient, attentive care style. I’ve had and babysat several dogs over the years, so I understand the unique personalities and needs each pup can have. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior pups who need a little extra love and gentle handling. I treat every dog like family—whether we’re going on a walk, having playtime, or just relaxing together. You can count on me for dependable, loving care and consistent communication while you're away. As a private contractor, I have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which makes pet care a natural and rewarding part of my daily routine. I’m able to dedicate focused time throughout the day for walks, visits, and quality one-on-one attention. Whether it's a morning check-in, mid-day play session, or evening cuddle time, I can easily work around each pet’s needs and schedule. This flexibility allows me to provide dependable, personalized care without ever feeling rushed. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their usual routine. I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding and walks to playtime and medications—and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you feel confident while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or overnight stay, I’m all about creating a calm, caring experience for your pet.

About: I’ve been a dedicated animal lover for years, caring for pups with lots of play, walks, and belly rubs. Whether it’s keeping up with their routine or giving meds when needed, I’m all about making sure your dog feels happy and safe while you’re away. Ready to be your dog’s new favorite sitter! I’m currently between jobs, so I have a flexible schedule, especially in the afternoons. I’m happy to meet wherever works best for you and your pet. Caring for pets fits easily into my routine as I prioritize giving them attention, exercise, and companionship during our time together. I do not offer boarding or care at my family’s home, but I’m happy to provide care at your home or a location that’s convenient for you. I focus on creating a calm, safe space for your pet and follow any specific care instructions closely to ensure their comfort and well-being.

“Nathalia is absolutely AMAZING!! Pups always look so happy in the pictures she shares with us. It feels great to have found someone we trust to care for our babies when we are away.”


About: With 12 years of professional experience in the animal care industry, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages — from delicate newborns to seniors needing extra love and attention. My background has given me a deep understanding of each stage of a dog’s life and how to provide care that’s both compassionate and attentive. After recently losing our two beloved dogs, my husband and I feel a big, quiet space in our home and hearts. I miss the joy and connection that only dogs can bring, and I’d love to open that space to care for yours. I treat every dog like family, because that’s what they deserve. As a teacher, my summer schedule is wide open — giving me the flexibility and time to fully focus on your pup's needs, whether that’s belly rubs, slow walks, or playtime. Outside of summer I am off most days by 3 giving plenty of time for a long afternoon walk. I have a small fenced in yard for late night or early morning emergencies but also live in a neighborhood with great walking space. My home is open to your pet but they must be potty trained!

About: I've had pets all my life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. From playful puppies to senior pets, I understand their different needs and always treat them with love, patience, and attention. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter, where I’ve gained hands-on experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. Whether it’s giving a senior pet extra comfort or helping a shy dog feel safe, I go the extra mile to make every animal feel at home. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and the trust I build with both pets and their people. As a student, my schedule changes every semester, so open communication is very important to ensure punctuality and reliable care. I’m available in the early mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m dedicated to being thoughtful and dependable, making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved every day. I always put safety and trust first when caring for pets in the pet’s home. I make sure their space is clean, calm, and free from anything that could cause harm. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, and daily routines to keep your pet comfortable and happy. My goal is to build a trusting relationship by being patient, gentle, and attentive so your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away.

About: I currently have two dogs whom I call my children! And also babysat cats for friends! I’m patient caring, and pay attention at all times! Before work I’m always up at 4 am to ensure time for my dogs to walk, eat, and spend time with each other before I leave. I always make sure there is plenty of love shown at all times. One of my dogs will try to eat his brothers food, so I stand guard until they are done eating. I brush their teeth and hair daily. I use treats as reward for good behavior, but I spoil with healthy treats.

About: I’ve been a dog owner now for almost 18 years. Dogs to me mean the world to me. They are the definition of unconditional love. I not only have taken care of my own dogs for many years. But have pet sit for many family and friends, that trust that I will take care and love their pets while owners are away. I make sure their pets have used the bathroom and make time to play with them to make them happy & comfortable. If their pets enjoy walks then I make sure to plan their walks in the day. I’ve take care of older dogs and know that they need extra care and love. I’ve also taken care of a puppy and can handle the puppy energy. I work part time. So I’m available most weekends and can always walk or care for dogs during the week when I get out of work. I usually will be available Friday-Sunday . I have a fenced yard it’s not very big but it is fenced and secured. I have 1 dog and would love for them to be friends so they can play. I have a park right next to me and can always take your pup for nice walks!

About: Hey there, I'm Isabella! I've been taking care of dogs for over 8 years now. I have my own pup whom I've trained and raised, and I've helped out with pets for my family and friends too. I've had a soft spot for animals since I got my first dog at 10, and it's been a joy looking after pets ever since. Whether it's going for walks, feeding, giving baths, or just playing around, I've always loved hanging out with pets. My family and friends have always trusted me to take care of their pets, and I promise to give your pet the same level of love and attention. I'll make sure your pet feels super happy, safe, and has a blast with me! I really believe in building a strong bond with both you and your pet, which is why I suggest we meet up before finalizing any plans. This way, I can understand your pet's needs and personality, ensuring they get the best care possible. We can have this meet-and-greet in person or over FaceTime, whichever works best for you. Can't wait to meet you and your furry buddy soon! As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer pet sitting services during both weekdays and weekends. I am dedicated and available to take care of your pets whenever you need. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, my top priority is ensuring the pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being. I tailor my care based on the specific needs of each pet and the service being provided. For pets staying in my home, I strive to create a welcoming and safe environment that mimics their routine as closely as possible. This includes maintaining regular feeding times, providing plenty of exercise and playtime, and offering a cozy space for rest. I also ensure that each pet has access to their favorite toys and familiar items to help them feel at ease. Regular monitoring of their health, behavior, and overall comfort is a key part of my care, and I’m always prepared to address any needs that arise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the same attention to detail and consistency with routines. I respect the client’s space, ensuring the home remains secure and clean while adhering to specific instructions related to feeding, exercise, and any medical needs. I provide regular updates to keep the client informed and reassured that their pet is being well taken care of. My goal is to provide loving and attentive care in both environments, ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away.

About: Dogs have always been part of the family, not just pets. With years of hands-on experience caring for our own dogs, I know how important it is to leave your pup with someone you can trust. I work from home, which means your dog will get my full attention throughout the day—whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or just relaxing by my side. I offer a calm, safe, and loving environment where your dog will feel comfortable, cared for, and truly at home. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home full-time, so I’m always available to give your dog the attention they need—whether it’s walks, meals, cuddles, or playtime. There’s always someone home, and my husband (who’s just as dog-obsessed as I am) loves spending time with them too. Your pup will be in a calm, loving environment with people who genuinely enjoy having dogs around. Your pet will be welcomed into a calm, clean, and loving home where their comfort and safety come first. I only take a limited number of dogs at a time to make sure each one receives the attention they deserve. I work from home full-time, so pets are never left alone, and I can follow their routine closely, from walks to feeding and playtime. We have an English bulldog named Martin who is extremely gentle, quiet, and well-socialized. He mostly naps during the day and is very respectful around other dogs. He’s used to having furry guests and helps create a peaceful vibe that makes newcomers feel at ease. Whether it’s overnight care or daily walks, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home: safe, happy, and loved.

Maria A.
“Testimonial for Maria F. Acosta – The Best Pet Sitter Ever! I can't say enough wonderful things about Maria F. Acosta and the care she provided for my dog, Mickey. From the moment they met, it was clear that Maria has a natural gift with animals. She treated Mickey like he was her own—showering him with love, attention, and the same level of care I would give myself. While I was away, I had total peace of mind knowing Mickey was in Maria’s hands. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which truly made all the difference. Not only did she make sure Mickey was well-fed, walked, and played with—she made sure he felt loved. Even now, every time Mickey hears her name or sees her, his tail wags like crazy—he absolutely adores her and remembers her fondly. That kind of bond doesn’t just happen with anyone. Maria is a rare find—trustworthy, compassionate, and completely devoted to the animals she cares for. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Maria is the one. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with Mickey. Thank you, Maria, for being the amazing person you are! — Maury”
