“Kerri was absolutely wonderful and truly loves dogs. From the daily walks to the constant photo updates, it was so clear how comfortable and happy our pups were with her — lots of cuddles and snuggles in the pictures. Our house was left in perfect condition, exactly how we left it. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such caring hands and will definitely use her for all future trips. Highly recommend!”
“Julia and Frances absolutely spoiled our pups! They took great care of them and gave so many snuggles. They sent us updates and pics every day. They were happy to come out for a meet and greet so we had time to get to know them before our trip. It made us feel better knowing there was a pair of people looking after our pups, in case anything happened. Very happy and will use Frances and Julia again!”
“There’s only about 5 people in this world that I would trust and feel comfortable with to take care of my dogs, and Sarah is now one of them. She is a very kind and authentic person, so I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. She made sure to ask all about our routine, feeding schedules, walks and treats. She was also very respectful and left my house clean and tidy. Thank you so much Sarah, we appreciate the help!”
“Jamie was fantastic! Brody absolutely loved spending time with her. She was attentive to him and his schedule and provided updates, which is so appreciated! Will definitely schedule her for more stays.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, growing up with over 10 family and community dogs. For the past 5 years I've been pet sitting and dog walking for friends, coworkers, and neighbors. I love spending time playing, cuddling, and walking with dogs (and cats!) of all breeds, and I’m experienced with handling everything from playful pups to more energetic or strong-willed dogs. I pride myself on following owner instructions for commands and leash handling, as well as providing attentive care for cats. Whatever your pets need, I’m here to help! Flexible Weekdays - I WFH on a flexible schedule each week, so whenever I do WFH I can pop by to dog walk, feed, or play with your pets as needed! I'll do my best to keep the schedule feature on my profile up to date each week! Weekends - Typically available to pet sit or anything else as needed! My priority with all pets is their safety and care, so I will always follow any owner instructions provided to me to keep pets comfortable and happy. Whether it's guidance on feeding scheduling to preferred walking route to hand/word commands, I take owner instructions seriously for all clients.
“Lauren was a fantastic dogsitter for our puppy, Heidi! She was warm and engaging with Heidi and was super communicative with us during our trip away. She sent us regular updates of Heidi’s day and activities – and judging from the pictures, it looked like Heidi was having a great time! Heidi is still a puppy and can be a handful at times – Lauren did a great job of keeping her active and we felt at ease knowing that our puppy was in good hands. Lauren is a sweetheart, responsible, personable, and truly cares about your furry family member. I think it was a huge testament to the bond that they developed, that Heidi was so sad to see Lauren leave (she cried for her!) We are excited to have Lauren stay with Heidi again and would HIGHLY recommend her services to other pet owners.”
“Daniela was great! She was attentive and responsive to all our needs! She was great with Whiskey and she is definitely going to be our go to sitter from now on! Thank you Daniela!”
“Abby was great! She took care of our 5 month old puppy on Christmas Eve so we could travel to visit family. She fed her, played with her, and attended to her many potty trips. Overall, great pet sitter!”
“Tom was wonderful! Our dog is usually really nervous around strangers and we’re pretty used to coming home to a skinnier version of her but she seemed to really enjoy being around him. Would definitely ask him to look after them again.”
About: With 6 years of pet care experience, I provide dependable, loving attention to pets of all ages. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving extra patience to senior pets. My priority is keeping pets safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. I work full-time in an office but have flexibility to accommodate different pet care needs, including evenings and weekends. Happy to discuss a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest. With a long-standing record of looking after both dogs and cats, I ensure they receive attentive, loving care while you’re away. I respect your home, follow your routines, and prioritize your pet’s well-being at all times.
“Caroline was dependable and took good care of my dog and my home while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend her services and are booking her again already!”
“Carol is great! The dogs loved her and she was very flexible. She communicated with us leading up to and during the sitting which made us feel comfortable with leaving the dogs. Would definitely rebook her!”
“Andrew took incredible care of our furbaby Arlo while we were away for a week long trip. Arlo is an anxious and high energy pup. Andrew did a fantastic job keeping Arlo in a good routine, including plenty of walks and managing his allergy diet. He sent us regular picture updates every day which made us feel so much better knowing Arlo was doing well. Arlo really developed a strong bond with Andrew. We highly recommend Andrew for pet sitting and will definitely be reaching out to him in the future. Thank you Andrew!”
“Ginny was so amazing! She took great care of our babies and sent us the sweetest photos during her time with them. Her communication is stellar and she left our home immaculate.”
“This was my first time having Andrea house-sit for my three dogs. She did an excellent job communicating and frequently sent me pictures of the trio. She was also very responsive whenever I messaged her. I would definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to others..”
“Didn’t feel like it was the first time meeting! She was flexible with my schedule and planned fun outings for my dog. She loved him despite his quirks. And he came home exhausted! Would highly recommend Sharon to anyone looking to leave their baby in a loving home.”

This is the first time we’ve had someone we don’t know watch our dog, as the booking was pretty last minute. They took such great care of him, and the updates were very reassuring. We love the pictures as well. I’d absolutely book them again to watch our pup in the future. Thank you!
Annmarie was the best! She came to our house twice beforehand to meet the dogs and asked me a bunch of questions about their routine and habits. She sent pictures daily to us and lot of pictures of them. I didn’t have to worry about them at all. I would use her again in a heartbeat!

Finding someone to care for your pets while you’re away can be hard and can bring up lots of anxieties. If you’re looking for someone reliable and kind to take great care of your pets, Owen is your guy. Owen stayed with our dog Zuko and cat Willow for 7 days. He kept us well informed, sent lots of pictures and gave them lots of love. Thank you, Owen!
Colin exceeded our expectations in pet sitting our Tibetan terrier, Buzzy. He was extremely communicative to us as we travelled abroad over Christmas, was so kind to Buzzy (a newly adopted dog) and took exceptional care of him whilst simultaneously respecting our home. I cannot recommend Colin highly enough. 100/100!!!
It was mostly Carmelo watching Bandit and he was so lovely with him. He stuck to my provided schedule, sent daily pictures and updates, and left my house clean and straightened on departure. I even came down with the flu at the end of my trip and asked if he would do one last lunchtime walk before I got back and he so kindly agreed. I would absolutely book them again. I felt relaxed and safe to have them caring for my two babies.
Ashley was awesome. I am a very particular dog parent and my pup Ziggy has a lot of quirks. Ashley listened to every single one and helped me manage his allergies while I was gone during the week. Ashley is also super nice and easy to chat with, Ziggy loved her!
Tanya was terrific with our dog and cat while we were away for 5 days. She followed our guidance and ensured that both pets received special care. She sent regular updates and pictures, as requested, and we could relax while we were away, knowing our little guys were under kind and safe care. Our home was well cared for and Tanya was conscientious about collecting our mail and deliveries We will be definitely rebook Tanya when we are next out of town.
Abbie was GREAT! We had never left our pup w/ anyone but family! She warmed up to him right away. (He was a little stubborn but he came around) It was a piece of mind having him in our house. She came slept w/ him @ night. It was a great fit! I will DEFINITELY be using Abbie again!
