“Pepper was in excellent hands while we were out of town for a wedding. She even got to go to the park TWICE. I’m surprised Pepper even wanted us back home she was pampered!!! We were also provided with tons of pictures and updates! We Can’t wait to use Sarah (and David) again!!!! Thanks so much for everything!”

“Yessica was an excellent house/dog sitter for our two little doggies who can get anxious and do best when they get to stay at the house. She gave great two-to-three times a day updates along with pictures and videos - showing how happy and relaxed the dogs were with her! Yessica was very respectful of our house and left everything in pristine condition. This was our first time using her, but we will definitely be using her again for our overnight trips.”

“Emilie is truly wonderful! She is incredibly caring and loving towards my dog, Peanut. Emilie has shown great patience when it comes to my anxious pup, who can be a bit challenging to care for. Thanks to her, I received daily updates and pictures of Peanut, which allowed me to focus on my work and sleep soundly, knowing my baby was in good hands. Thank you so much for taking care of my little furball!”


“Viky was a really amazing house sitter for my cats! She was even able to clip their nails! I got many updates and she was really communicative. I will definitely be hiring her for house sitting in the future.”

“Bethany stayed at our house with our high-needs, anxious dog for 8 days. She was so gentle and patient with him, winning him over very quickly. And she took excellent care of our house, even handling an internet crisis for us that required a technician to come out! We’ll definitely book her again and are so lucky to have found her!”

“Bob is a truly dog whisperer and a dog lover! Peanut is very picky and can be really tough sometimes but they quite got a long pretty quick. Highly recommend! I will definitely rebook”

“Kim was such a great sitter for my 18 month old rowdy mixed terrier pup! She was kind, punctual, professional, sent me lots of detailed updates and pics. I felt totally relaxed leaving my guy in her care while I had to be away for the weekend. Will book again. Thanks Kim!”

“Ninon is our favorite dog watcher so much that we booked her twice in the month! I honestly think my dog prefers her to us. She keeps us posted all throughout and more than anything, I feel totally safe with her watching our family member.”

About: I’m a dependable and attentive pet caregiver with experience caring for dogs and cats of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I’ve handled daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, playtime, and overnight care while making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m especially good at adapting to each pet’s personality — whether that means keeping up with high-energy dogs or being patient with anxious or senior pets. My goal is always to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands. I’m currently a student and have a very flexible schedule and will be happy to accommodate you. Please feel free to reach out to me. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment with lots of supervision, exercise, and interaction throughout the day. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and energy level to make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for.
“We can’t say enough incredible things about Lindsay! She was so kind to watch our dog and our two cats for 4 days while we were out of town, staying at our home for the duration. She is so lovely and communicative and gave us the best updates while we were gone. Lindsay was also so helpful in following our various pets dietary restrictions and meeting their needs - from dealing with separation anxiety to making sure our cats and dog stayed separated (they don’t get along!), Lindsay was simply fantastic and took care of our pets the way we would have while she stayed at our place (if not better)! She was so thoughtful in giving our dog lots of exercise and walks and outings, it is clear that he had such a fun time with her. Our dog simply adores her and went looking for her after she left - missing her already! Our cats also warmed up to her instantly, which is amazing considering they normally hide under the bed when we have house guests. Lindsay is a true animal whisperer! Also, Lindsay clearly treated our home with care as it somehow looks better than when we left?! To top it all off, she was so accommodating and flexible when it came to our odd departure and arrival times due to red eye flights we took for our travels…I could go on and on about how great and trustworthy Lindsay is! We are so thankful to have had her take such amazing care of our pets and look forward to hopefully scheduling with her for future pet care :)”

“Lilit was wonderful. She was available at the last minute to housesit our dog, Molly. She easily befriended Molly, and made us all comfortable with her kindness and care. Molly had a great time, and we would highly recommend Lilit.”

“Dominique was amazing with my anxious old man. He usually takes time to warm up to new sitters but it seems like he felt comfortable right away. I got lots of picture and video updates and came home to a clean house and happy dog!”

About: I have experience caring for all sorts of pets including big and small dogs, cats, rodents and reptiles. I love being around animals and have a great understanding of what they might be telling us through body language and visual cues. I grew up with no less than 3 dogs in the house at a time. Caring for neighborhood pets, nanny family’s pets and friend’s pets. Although I feel comfortable around pets, my approach is always calm, cautious and respectful. I will make sure your furry friend feels comfortable and safe. I am available weekdays in the early afternoon and some weekends. I have a full time job that finishes early in the day and need some extra income and something nice to do in my free time. I always care for clients pets based off of information I gather ahead of time about the pet as well as visual cues that the pet is signaling. My approach is always observant, calm and respectful of the pet’s needs.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to adults. I helped care for my cousin’s six dogs from the time they were born, giving me puppy experience with routines, patience, and consistency I adopted a husky mix and actively follow a training plan that includes potty training, consistent daily walks, and learning extra commands. This has helped me develop strong skills in managing high energy dogs, maintaining routines, and providing both physical and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to proper feeding, food preparation, and allergy awareness, and I always follow each dog’s specific needs. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy their energy whether that means playtime, training reinforcement, or calm companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I’m flexible with scheduling, and if you need a specific day or time, I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your needs. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and making sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. I care for pets based on their individual routines and comfort levels. In my home, pets receive structured feeding schedules, regular potty breaks, consistent walks, and dedicated playtime. If your dog is friendly, I do have a dog of my own who would love a new friend, but I always introduce pets slowly and safely. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free by maintaining familiarity and providing attentive, loving care.

Brigette was so good with the kitties! She played with the kitties a lot and kept our babies happy while we were out of town. She was as great at communicating everyday to update us on them and how they were adjusting, and when we got home, the cats looked happy to see us but also in a great mood! Would definitely book her again in the future!

Lilit was absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond in taking care of Churro while we were on our Cruise. Lots of walks and loves shared in pictures during the week. I felt 100% confident in have her watch our baby and my home. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her if you are looking for someone dependable that will love your pet.

Ruby was awesome with our two fur babies Noah and Miso. She came by to meet us all in advance and our pups took to her right away. She followed our outline for the day to a T and communicated with us throughout our trip and sent cute photos. She is very responsible and also has a very sweet demeanor that the dogs loved. My hubby and I highly recommmend her.

Just came back to a very happy dog and clean home! Corrine/Thorn was a wonderful communicator and took care of Fred excellently (including an outing to a dogs birthday party that Fred loved). We’d be thrilled to have them watch Fred and stay in our home anytime!

Denise took great care of my 2 dogs while I was on Holiday. Her communication was great, she provided plenty of daily pictures and updated. We even had a small incident where one of my pets needed a vet and she went above and beyond to help and take care of the ossue. She was very respectful towards my apartment and left everything in great condition. Would definetly use her again for future needs.

Julianna cared for my two schnauzers in my home for a week. I was so impressed by her care and attention to detail. My dogs can be yappy and excitable and Julianna’s kindness and calming presence enabled them to warm to her quickly. She played with my dogs regularly, provided them with love and attention and quickly became their favorite person! Julianna also thoughtfully inquired about my preference on the cadence of communication and provided me regular updates. This was the first time I had hired a housesitter for my pups, so it was very comforting to hear from her regularly. Further, my home is in an area populated by coyotes, and Julianna followed all of my safety instructions to keep my dogs safe from predators. Beyond the excellent care Julianna provided to my dogs, she also treated my home with incredible respect and left it in better condition than she found it. I trust Julianna with my dogs and my home and will book with her again. If you want someone warm, respectful, and professional you should book with her too. Thank you Julianna!!

We’ve been utilizing Jennifer to housesit and watch our dogs while we’re out of town for years! Between a high energy German Shepard and fragile old Chihuahua mix, she manages to provide for both with ease and lots of love and they seem so happy and at peace when we return. Shes a great communicator and keeps our house looking just like we left it. I highly recommend Jennifer for any and all ages, breeds, needs.
