“Norman showed up with great energy & care for our first time with him sitting. Page loves to see him & Norman stays in touch throughout the day with good awareness to tune in for needs for me & pup while I was away.”



“Gabriella is wonderful! It was the first time leaving my dog with a house sitter, and Gabriella did everything and then some to make sure he was at ease the entire time. He loved the company, and I will be using Gabriella's services again!”


“Ruth is an A++++ doggie sitter. I will always ask her first when I need someone. She is soooo loving, and always gives the best updates. My dogs are always smiling and happy in their pictures and videos.”


“Boryana took amazing care of our senior pitbull, Brady. She was very patient with his quirks and eccentricities (e.g. he has acquired a habit of lying down for rests mid-walk). He often seems a little out of sorts after we come back from a long trip, but this time he was very relaxed and happy. Communication was top notch and our house was left in perfect condition. We can't recommend Boryana highly enough, and hope she'll be available to take care of Brady again in the future!”


“Kimberly was amazing! I’ve only used her once so far and I am ready to book her again! She was excellent with my anxious dog, was respectful of my home, sent lots of pictures and updates and left a detailed accounting of their activities for me when I returned. I would not hesitate to book Kimberly to dog sit in my home again. I feel so fortunate to have found her!”



“Susan was absolutely amazing!! I have 3 pups that do not do well staying out when we are away. Susan took wonderful care of them and our house while we were away. She sent several updates each day on how they were doing, along with pictures. She is very thorough and truly loves all animals. I won't ever leave my pups with anyone else!”


“Sara is a warm, caring, and professional caregiver and our Scottish Terrier Mango loved spending the weekend with her. Highly recommend!”


“Without a doubt, the best possible person to take care of your dogs. I felt as if I had been gifted an angel from heaven. She has an unbelievable gift with animals and people. Thank you, Tina.”


About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for the past couple years. I have taken care of both family and friends dogs as well as neighbors from word of mouth. I am currently working remotely part time from home so I am generally pretty free to dog sit or pop in to feed any pets during the day. I can't take care of any pets in my home, but can go to your home and either dog sit from there or walk your dog.

“Bosco Bear loved having Alexis take care of him. Even though this was a long trip, he was so well adjusted and happy when I hot home that I could tell how loved and well taken care of he was while i was gone.”


“Vee was very attentive to our cat, Chaos. She took the time to come meet us before her stay, and she followed all of our instructions to the letter, especially for his medication. She kept us updated with information and pictures, and clearly enjoyed taking care of Chaos. We hope to have Vee cat sit for us again!”


About: Other than taking care of my own dog and cats, I have been taking care of neighbors, friends, and family pets. I've been trusted to walk and feed dogs on a good, strict or flexible schedule. I also have some experience with administering oral medication to both cats and dogs. As of now this will be my full source of employment. This means I will have all day to take care of your furry friends. I am capable of spending quality time with your pet and following their schedule. I'm able to handle hyper and active dogs who may jump around when I enter the home and cuddly cats who wanna play. I like to make pets comfortable with me in the safety of their own home.


About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and connection I have with animals. I’ve cared for many of my friends’ pets over the years—dogs and cats, and I naturally bond with them. They tend to feel calm and happy around me. I have experience with both playful puppies and sweet senior pets, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. Whether it’s long walks, gentle care, or lots of cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. et care fits into my routine naturally—it’s something I truly enjoy! Even though I work full-time, I have a hybrid schedule and work from home three days a week, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets with lots of attention and love. I’m also off on weekends and finish work early on Fridays, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, and cuddles. Taking care of animals truly brings me joy—it’s one of the highlights of my week! I treat every pet like part of the family when caring for them in their own home. I make sure their environment stays calm, safe, and comfortable, following all instructions from the pet parents carefully—feeding schedules, favorite toys, and any special needs. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything tidy, and prioritize the pet’s comfort and security. I also provide regular updates to build trust and keep owners at ease while they’re away.

“Andrew Z. is absolutely wonderful, the best sitter we have ever had! He came to our house and watched our difficult, 12 year old dog for over 2 weeks. He had to deal with health issues and the vet and handled everything brilliantly. Our dog was in terrific, happy condition when we returned. We strongly recommend Andrew to anyone..”


“This was my first time using Rover and Elizabeth was terrific watching my 2 dogs for 9 days. Communication was great and our dogs took to her immediately.”



“Thank you Faelynn! This is the first time we used a dog/house sitter when we went away on vacation. We have boarded our dogs in the past. Faelynn was a wonderful sitter. The dogs were well cared for, calm, happy and Faelynn even worked with them - successfully - on some jumping issues. Faelynn updated us everyday with short notes and pictures. We came back to a clean and well maintained home. This was a very positive experience and we will definitely rebook with Faelynn and recommend her to our friends and family!”


About: Hi there! I’m Kira/Kiwi🥝(they/she) :)) Over my 14+ years of pet care experience, I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs of all ages (seniors included!) and sizes (biggest was 125lbs; prefer a 100lb max limit plz :)). Caring for gentle giants, puppies, and dogs that get a bad rap is where I feel most comfortable🥰 I grew up with a Lab/German Shepherd rescue and a Lab/Pit/Pointer rescue, and for a brief time, a grown Rottie when I was a baby. I also have experiences with dog bathing and routine grooming/trimming (no full haircuts). In the salon, my regulars were Goldens and Labs (big puppies to arthritic seniors), small puppies (I got lots of pug puppies!), our sweet and vocal Huskies, many anxious pups, and a majority of my lovely furry clients were Pitties of all ages. I also have plenty of experience with anxious dogs and cats of all ages; I’m very patient and I let Them set the pace! I can also teach basic training and commands to puppies/young dogs or calm older dogs. I’m quick on my feet, a fast learner, and I will care for your furry children as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog(s)! Please feel free to reach out with any inquiries or questions! Let’s set up a meet-and-greet to see if we’re a good fit :)) I currently work part-time in pet care in my professional life, while I save up to continue my education. I pet sit in my free time :)) Safety and trust are the most important aspects to pet care, besides our unconditional love for our sweet animals! Your house, your rules. All doors closed? You got it. Cat can come in and out? No problem! Only walk with a specific harness and leash? I got you! Ensuring your peace of mind and your pet’s safety is my top priority, just let me know your boundaries and care preferences!

“Responsive, timely, kind, and I came home to an EXHAUSTED dog because he got so much attention and walking. Wonderful sitter and would happily use again!”


“Meg was great with our big fluffy guy for our last minute long weekend away. She came and stayed at our place and sent us regular updates. We would definitely use her again. Thanks Meg!”


“We were very happy with Izzy’s work and how well our home was taken care of!! Our large ish dog was a bit fearful at first and she was very patient with him and sent me updates and photos as requested. The house was exactly as we’d left it with linens folded. Thank you so much!!!”
