“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!”

“I can't say enough about Melida! She was caring, nurturing, and sensitive to our pets' needs. Our dog was spoiled and our cat got attention she craves. I would highly recommend her!”

“Kathryn is a very reliable sitter who I can count on! My cat loves seeing her and was very well cared for during my time away. She and I hope to have Kathryn as a sitter again soon!”

“Cara was amazing! I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her for anyone with cats. I have 4 very stranger leary cats. After just 3 drop-ins, she was able to coax 3 of the 4 to her for treats and pets. The 4th baby doesn't even come to us for Churu's so we count that as a total success. Around their boxes/food dishes/water was clean/neat/well tended. Cara sent great pictures and detailed accounts of each visit. I was 100% able to relax.”

“I am so thankful for her! My babies were well fed and cared for while I was on vacation. And they had nice clean litter boxes. Loved my daily updates of who greeted her at the door and the funny pictures! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thank you SO MUCH. I'm planning a longer trip for May so I will be trying to book you then as well!!!”

About: I’m not JUST a dog lover, I’m experienced, attentive, and genuinely passionate person about caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities! From fun-loving puppies to wise senior dogs, I’ve worked with them all. I have handled feeding routines, daily walks, playtime, and lots of cuddle session, always with love, patience and care! What sets me apart is my ability to truly connect with each and every dog. I pay attention to their needs, read their body language, and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away! I'm currently available on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as evenings from 6 PM to 12 AM during the week. My schedule allows me to give each dog my full attention, energy, and care! No rush, no stress, just quality time with your fur baby. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, my top priorities are your dog’s comfort, safety, happiness and treating your space with the same respect I’d give my own. I follow your routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules and walk times to playtime and bedtime rituals. I make sure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and exercise, so they feel secure and relaxed even when you're away. Whether it’s giving belly rubs on the couch, sticking to special care instructions (like medication), or just being a calm and familiar presence. I’m there to keep your dog happy in the place they feel most at ease, home sweet home.

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: I’m a calm, intuitive pet sitter with experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities. As a cat mom of four, I’m great at reading body language, managing routines, and making even shy or anxious pets feel safe. I never force interactions—I let each pet warm up at their own pace. I’m detail-oriented with feeding, litter care, grooming needs, and overall home cleanliness. I match each pet’s energy, communicate clearly with photo updates, and treat every home with the same respect and care I expect for my own. My goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m home consistently, which allows me to keep steady routines for feeding, playtime, and attention without rushing. I can check in on pets frequently, give them plenty of interaction, and maintain a calm, predictable environment throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, predictable, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding, playtime, grooming, and quiet time—so they feel safe and secure. I pay close attention to their body language, give them space when they need it, and offer affection when they’re ready. I keep living areas clean, fresh, and organized, and I provide regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I’m a gentle, patient, and detail-oriented caregiver who always treats pets like family. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, routines, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages. I have experience with both energetic pups and calm senior dogs, and I’m comfortable supporting different temperaments. Whether your dog needs slow, reassuring walks or a little extra playtime and stimulation, I adjust to what makes them happiest. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities — every single visit! I’m a full-time graduate student, but my weekly routine fits pet care perfectly. I only go to campus for exams on Friday mornings and have classes Mondays and Tuesdays, which still leaves plenty of time for morning, afternoon, or evening walks on those days. I’m completely free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, so I’m able to offer longer visits, flexible scheduling, and consistent daily care. I plan my study time around my bookings to make sure every pet gets reliable attention, exercise, and affection. I only care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. This helps maintain their routine and reduces stress, especially for shy or anxious pups. When I’m in your home, I always follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walking routes, crate routines, and any special preferences your pet has. I’m very mindful about safety: doors and gates stay securely closed, leashes are always checked before walks, and I never rush or take unnecessary risks. I treat your home with complete respect and keep everything clean and exactly as I found it. Your pet’s comfort and your peace of mind are my top priorities every visit.
“Nathalia, as before, took excellent care of Mikey and Sylvie. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to feel comfortable that their pets will receive the care that you would give them, yourselves.”

“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!”

“Marcela is the best. She came to my rescue when I was really in a pickle for two days worth of drop in visits. It was the first time I used her services and she accepted the job on short notice which was a life saver for me. She was very communicative off the bat and was able to work with me as far as the schedule. She sent updates and pics and I came home to calm and happy fur babies! I was very pleased, I will definitely use her services again.”

Gia was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. She was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was incredibly helpful having someone so reliable and responsible to dog sit, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable with her. Gia kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated dog sitter.

Lourdes was a phenomenal caretaker and went above and beyond for our Laika. She’s meticulous on instructions, communicates well, provides several photos everyday and takes her time to walk Laika. I strongly recommend her! You won’t regret it! We will definitely be using her services again.
