Cary is a lifesaver!! She made sure my pets were taken care of when I was away at a wedding all day. Multiple check ins, plenty of photos, lots of cuddles given and she even got to spend time with my very shy cat. It is evident she cares seriously for your animals and provides the very best of care. She’s a very kind and sweet woman too! Thank you so much for helping me!

I have a real sense of security and comfort when Ellyn cares for my girl Gretel, my GSD. Ellyn is a true professional with the perfect blend of structure and sweetness that Gretel needs. This particular assignment was to give Gretel her dinner and hang out for a bit so her alone time before I got home late that night wouldn’t be too long. Gretel was excited but not frantic when I got home which tells me her time with Ellyn was enriching and comfortable for her. Thank you Ellyn!

About: As a flexible college student looking for summer work, I have a schedule that allows me to dedicate reliable time and attention to the pets I care for. I have 3 years of professional pet sitting experience, caring for pets with a wide range of routines and medical needs. I’ve cared for dogs/cats from just a few months old to senior age, requiring extra patience, monitoring, and specialized care. I’m experienced administering oral medications, eye and ear medications, and topical treatments. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions to make sure pets stay safe, healthy, and comfortable. Along with my professional experience, I’ve also owned and cared for dogs, cats, and horses throughout my life. I genuinely love animals and do my best to care for every pet with the same attention and love I would want for my own pets. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. I’ve owned and cared for a dog, six different cats, a horse, and rodents throughout my life. I’m very used to managing feeding schedules, exercise, grooming, cleaning, playtime, and giving animals consistent attention and care every day. As a college student not taking classes over the summer, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible by providing plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and walks. I truly try to care for every pet like they’re my own so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and leave them as clean, or cleaner, than I found them while carefully following all care instructions.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly can’t imagine life without animals. I grew up on a cattle ranch surrounded by dogs and cats so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. From raising puppies to loving senior dogs through their golden years, I’ve experienced every stage and I cherish them all. I grew up with two Labradors and a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and I currently have an 8 yr old rescue Chiweenie from Mexico and a 13 yr old Goldendoodle. Caring for a senior dog has given me a deep understanding of patience, attentiveness, and gentle care. For the past 7 years, I’ve also volunteered with 2 local dog rescues which has given me extensive experience with all types of dogs including those who are reactive, anxious or strong leash pullers. I’m comfortable administering medication and always approach each dog with a calm and loving energy. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe and completely loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks and jogs, or prefers slow sniff filled strolls or cozy cuddle time at home, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected and at ease. My goal is to become your go-to, trusted dog walker and someone your dog gets genuinely excited to see! I truly love dogs so much and I can’t wait to meet yours 🤍 I currently have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be fully present during my time with dog. I'm available weekday or weekend care. Safety and trust are everything to me. I take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can care for them just like you would. On walks, I stay alert and mindful, with experience handling reactive or strong leash pullers, always prioritizing their safety. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and consistent while making sure water is full, feeding routines are followed, and medications are given if needed. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you feel at ease, knowing your dog is safe, happy, and truly cared for ◡̈

About: Hi! I’m a college student originally from San Diego and recently spent the year living in NYC going to school at Fordham University. Living in the city I gained experience dog walking in a fast-paced environment. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from quick neighborhood walks to longer outings with lots of energy and attention. Back home, I’ve always grown up around animals and currently have a dog named Lucy and a cat named Winter. I am home for the summer and would love the chance to dog walk/pet sit. I’m very active, reliable, and truly love spending time with pets! I’m currently a freshman in college with classes scheduled at different times throughout the week. Many days I have large gaps between classes (for example, a morning class and then another later in the afternoon), which gives me flexibility for mid-day walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I’m very organized with my schedule and plan ahead to ensure I’m reliable and on time. I’m also happy to communicate in advance to coordinate times that work best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m pet sitting in your home or taking your dog on a walk, I stay attentive, aware of our surroundings, and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. I respect your home as if it were my own and make sure everything is secure before I leave. During walks, I prioritize safe routes, proper leash handling, and keeping your dog comfortable at all times. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a safe, calm, and loving environment.

Analisa did an amazing job of caring for my cats. She went above and beyond for one of my medically needy cats. Her frequent updates and pictures made me feel very comfortable and reassured that the cats were well taken care of. The house was also clean when I returned. I will definitely be requesting her for our next trip!

About: I have 2 dogs currently and I have had 3 dogs at one time. I also dog sit occasionally for family friends. Most of my dog sitting experience has been staying at someone’s house and taking care of the dogs and house. I know how to take care of both puppies and senior dogs and I have experience giving medication to pets as well. I’m currently on a summer break in between graduating from the University of Michigan and attending law school in the fall. Most of my days are very open so I would love to fill them with pet sitting or dog walking! I have experience dog sitting overnight and following routines. I have a bigger lab and a smaller dog, and I have also had a husky. I have lots of experience with all kinds of dogs and their routines!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me for walking, feeding, playtime, overnight care, and keeping their pets comfortable while they’re away. I’m very attentive, responsible, and active, so I’m happy to accommodate long walks, medication schedules, or extra playtime. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, cared for, and loved. I’m currently home for the summer between graduating from Vanderbilt University and starting my full time job in NYC this August. I’m working part time this summer through an internship with Sun Bum, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I always try to make pets feel comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention and exercise. I grew up with multiple dogs, all with very different needs, personalities, exercise routines, and medication schedules, so I’m comfortable adapting to whatever care your pet requires. I’m very responsible, attentive, and communicative, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, or crate routines to make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.

When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!

About: I've taken care of aggressive dogs, dogs with special medical needs, and everything in between. I am reliable, communicative, and I love being with animals. As a teacher, I get summer vacations, so I have a free schedule to devote to petsitting. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, for short or long periods. I have experience taking care older dogs, and I'm also comfortable around dogs with behavioral problems. In every case, I'm attentive to the animal's needs.

About: I grew up with several dogs and cats, and I’ve loved taking care of animals since a young age. I have provided loving, caring, responsible pet-sitting support and care-taking duties for family and friends for many years, and I genuinely love dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. I have my own sweet and cuddly 8-year old female yellow lab who is my best buddy, so I truly understand how pets become our beloved family members. My schedule is flexible and I’m usually available on short notice! I look forward to meeting lots of wonderful new furry friends soon. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is flexible and I’m usually available on short notice! Pet care is a true passion of mine. I have a safe, cozy home for pets and a sweet 8-year old female yellow lab at home who gets along perfectly with other dogs. We live across the street from a beautiful dog park and there are lots of beautiful places to walk and play.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, including puppies, so I understand how important patience, attention, and consistency are when caring for pets. I’m very reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether that’s during walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I also pay close attention to routines and instructions because I know every dog has different needs and personalities. I just graduated college, I am currently not working and home for the summer, so I have a lot of free time and am very flexible. I’ve had puppies and three dogs throughout my life, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m very cautious when it comes to safety and always make sure pets are in a secure, comfortable environment. I pay close attention during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure pets have plenty of attention, water, and care. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and instructions to help pets feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

If you are looking for a kind, responsible, reliable, and professional sitter, I had her come over to primarily let my dog out to potty, but I also have two cats that she interacted with. I highly recommend Brenda. She was very detailed and clear on her availability for specific dates and times requested. She communicated when she arrived, documented the report card in Rover a long with a picture and let me know when she was leaving and that she locked the door when leaving. I will definitely reach out to Brenda again for future support.

Ari is EXCEPTIONAL!!! We have a VERY uncomfortable 11 yr old pup and do not ever leave her alone. She warmed up to Ari extremely fast. Her communication was excellent. You can instantly tell her love for pups (animals) Couldn’t be happier finding her on this App. We will absolutely be using her in the future and are thrilled with the peace of mind knowing our pup is in incredible hands ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We are very grateful for Luciana. For nearly two years now she has been a steady presence in our puppy sitting journey. We recently received a difficult diagnosis for one of our dogs (glaucoma) and the daily care for her eyes has become very complex. Today Luciana helped us get comfortable with trusting her with Rylee’s care while we got out of the house for the first time in over 3 months (to join our friends for a San Diego Padres baseball game for the day). Luciana is extremely calm and attentive to every detail. We couldn’t have enjoyed the day if it wasn’t for Luciana.
