“Nina was awesome! This was my first time leaving my pets with anyone while my family and I were away on vacation, and she made the entire experience stress-free. My dogs don’t get along with just anyone, they’re very high-energy, but from the moment they met Nina, they instantly connected with her. That gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Nina was extremely attentive and detail-oriented. She sent photos during every check-in, kept us updated throughout the whole process, and even provided photo proof that the house was secure. She also cleaned up any messes, brought in packages that were left outside, and truly went above and beyond what was asked of her. I will definitely book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! too!”

“Yesenia was great with Keiko! He’s very shy and timid and she managed to make him feel comfortable. She was also great with dealing with all of his medications and eye drops! I would highly recommend her to watch your furry friend!”

“I’ve used Kiara as my dog walker multiple times, and she has been nothing short of fantastic. She’s always reliable, punctual, and treats my dog with so much care and attention. I never have to worry when Kiara is in charge, and it’s clear she genuinely loves what she does. It’s such a relief to know my dog is in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker!”

“I’m so glad go booked Ileana, she is a great person all around, she took care of my giants and they got to love her. I will definitely contact her again when services are needed, thanks Ileana”

About: Hi! My name is Nely, and I have over 3 years of experience caring for dogs. I have cared for pets of different sizes and personalities, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide regular walks, playtime, fresh water, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I treat each one like a member of my own family. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care I’m currently available full-time, which allows me to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is flexible for boarding, dog walking, and drop-in visits throughout the week, including weekends. I can provide regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love and attention Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets receive constant supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, fresh water, and lots of affection. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, routines, and special needs. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing

About: I have a Pitbull named Chance and a Calico cat named Shawty who are my world. I also have experience with exotic animals, such as lion and tiger cubs, lemurs, small primates, etc. I am the designated pet sitter in the friend group! I have a very open and irregular schedule, as I am a full time musician and usually create music late nights. This allows flexibility to be able to care for your babies. Update pictures are very important to me, so I am the same when caring for others pets. If you have home cameras, I feel even more comfortable so you can watch live and first hand as I do my job! I follow instructions to the T when it comes to pet care. If your fur baby has any special ways to prepare their food, any specific route they like to go on walks or whatever they may need, any background music or show that you play for them.. I’m happy to accommodate. For example my Pitbull does not eat if I am out of town, and likes to sleep with ocean wave sounds.. it helps him if whoever is pet sitting him stays for a couple of minutes so he can feel comfortable and eat, and also ask my Google speaker to play ocean waves before leaving. I wouldn’t treat your pets needs any different than I’d expect for someone to treat mine for their health and safety.
“Serena was absolutely amazing while taking care of our ducks this weekend! She was incredibly sweet, communicative, and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated, made us feel completely comfortable leaving our babies in her care, and truly went above and beyond. It’s clear she genuinely cares for animals, and our ducks were so well taken care of. We are so grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend Serena to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring! 🦆🤍”


About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’ve been providing pet care since November of last 2025 and truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Skills & Experience: Large Dog Handling: Comfortable walking dogs up to 80 lbs with a calm and controlled approach. For safety, I do ask that larger dogs are fully trained and well-behaved on leash.

Routine-Based Care: I stick closely to each pet’s routine to help them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable.

I take both pet safety and respect for your home very seriously. I always follow any instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and household preferences. I make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secure at all times, and I’m careful during walks and visits to keep pets safe and under control. In your home, I aim to be as respectful and tidy as possible; cleaning up after pets, keeping their areas neat, and leaving everything just as I found it. I also understand the importance of trust, so I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates so you feel confident while you’re away.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Amber! She did such a great job caring for my two cats while I was away for six days and I will definitely have her back to catsit. She has an incredible energy and I’m grateful for her help. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thorough and loving petsitter!”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, especially with shy or nervous pets. I take things slow and let them come to me so they always feel safe and comfortable. I’ve been pet sitting for friends for the past 7 years, caring for both cats and dogs with all different personalities. I’ve loved animals since I was a kid and even went/took horseback riding lessons once a week. Since my mom was scared of dogs, I wasn’t able to have one as a child, so I poured all my love into caring for my friends pets whenever I could - playing with them, cuddling them, and giving them the attention they needed. Now I have a dog and I used to have a cat of my own, and both require daily medication, so I’m experienced with giving pets medicine safely and gently. I genuinely love creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels understood and cared for. I work from home two days a week. My office hours are 8am-5pm. My partner also works a lot from home so your pet won’t be home alone very often. I’m available for boarding during the week (as long as your pet is used to a similar schedule) and weekends. I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and cozy space. I have a fenced yard and a nice neighborhood for walks. My friendly dog will keep your pup company. Your fur baby is welcome on all our furniture, just like my dog. If needed, I can easily crate your pet or let them stay loose. Whatever makes them and/or you feel most comfortable.

About: As a dog mom myself, I know the importance of leaving your most precious family member in good hands. You will enjoy your time away knowing they are well taken care of. I work from home which gives me the flexibility of watching over your fur baby 24/7 and giving you peace of mind that they will always have good company around. I have a fenced yard and two dogs of my own who are playful, potty trained and loving towards other dogs. Also, since I work from home your baby will never feel alone.
About: As a proud dog mom to a Yorkie and someone who has actively cared for dogs for over two years, I truly treat every pup like my own. I’ve also fostered several dogs a deeply rewarding experience that taught me how to make any dog feel safe, loved, and right at home. To me, dogs are just like babies: they need genuine affection, structured care, and plenty of attention. When your dog is with me, you can rest easy knowing they’re getting the exact same love and devotion I give my own fur baby. Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, your dog will never be left waiting. I ensure timely feedings, regular potty breaks, and plenty of affection throughout the day. Plus, I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely run around, play, and feel right at home. I take feeding and potty routines seriously, and if your pup is crate-trained or follows a specific schedule, I can seamlessly match it. Just let me know your dog's daily routine, and I’ll make sure they feel completely comfortable and loved while you’re away

Melida is always my go-to when it comes to house drop ins! She originally came to do a house sitting for us about a year ago and came in and met my babies and took notes! Even a year later she still had the notes from the previous time! I feel 100% comfortable and at ease being out of town and knowing my babies are in good hands. Thank you so much Melida!

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.
