“Qinyun asked all the right questions about caring for my cat and apartment when she came to meet her before I went out of town. My cat looked as happy and comfortable as could be in all of the pictures, which she was when I got back from vacation!”
“Dom took good care of our cat while we were away. He was communicative and sent us little updates during his visits. We would recommend him to others and look forward to having him sit again.”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, with more professional sitting services beginning in 2015. I have been able to alleviate the stress of traveling and leaving behind cherished fur babies, which is such a great feeling. Why stress them out if you can have reliable and loving care in home. I work a job that is semi flexible, allowing for me to travel to your home when needed. I work remotely once or twice a week and I’m happy to stay in your home to care for your babies. I’m the type of person that will want to know how you care for your pet. I want to care for your pet as similarly to as possible, without interrupting, usual routines. I’m very flexible about schedules.
“Very thoughtful and wonderful pet sitter. Criss looked after my two cats and sent lots of photos, gave me thorough updates, and kept everything neat and tidy. She is an excellent cat sitter! Would highly recommend her!”
“Mika and Lola are happy when Teagan takes care of them when we're not around. Teagan is super friendly, detail and easy to communicate with. Would absolutely have her take care of my kitties again 💕”
“Ella was very patient and kind with Bunny...which is no easy feat with my dog's abandonment and fear-aggression issues! But Ella stood her ground and made sure that Bunny received nutrition, companionship and the chance to relieve herself. Well done, Ella! And I really appreciate your communicating with me using photos and texts!”
“Hannah was so great with our pups! We were so lucky she was able to come through on such short notice! Gave great updates and the boys were very happy and tuckered out when we got home!”
“Dawn has been taking care of my 12-week-old energetic and velociraptor GSP puppy, Zara, for the past two weeks. From the start, Dawn impressed me by taking the time to schedule a meet-up beforehand to get to know Zara and me. This thoughtful gesture made me feel confident in her abilities and reassured me that Zara was in great hands. Over the past two weeks, Dawn has been punctual and caring during her visits to my home. I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
About: I’ve had dogs, my whole life from puppy to elderly life. I’ve also fostered kittens and have a broad range of skills. As a dog owner myself, I am responsible, energetic, and take all the precautions necessary. I know how to read body language on dogs, so I tend to always be on the safe side. I love senior dogs & can also tend to those needs. I have Friday’s off so I am only free Friday through Sunday (6am-11pm). Anytime during the week would have to be after 6pm for check-ins or walks. I have a dog park in my apartment home and live in a safe neighborhood. I do not let dogs free roam or off-leash unless I know the park is empty. No matter how trained your dog is, I am also aware of other dogs around that may not be so well trained!
“Ian was so wonderful with my pups - they were timely, conscientious, communicative, sent tons of pictures and even did a couple dishes I had left in my sink! Truly felt my pups were in great hands with them.”
“Lina was so great coming by each day to check on our dogs. She made sure to give detailed updates and provide photos and videos. She was very attentive to their needs and I would highly recommend her services.”
About: I’m an avid pet lover and always had pets in my life, whether it was my own or neighbors‘/friends’. I am currently not working, so your furry friend will never be alone under my care. My friendly and outgoing golden retriever will also provide companionship if that is what your pet desires; if not, I will instead ensure that they get the independence and space they need. I firmly believe in giving as much love and companionship to our furry friends as we can, and do my best to ensure that quality of care for all pets I’m looking after, including my own! I am currently not working, so my schedule is pretty free and I can devote more time to caring for your pets! I will occasionally go out for normal life things like dinners or grocery runs, but that's about it! I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company, and I live close to a dog park in which your pet can run around freely and play with other dogs who frequent it. We can also take walks around the neighborhood if that’s the preferred style of exercise. At home, I constantly interact with the pets, and we have many toys and chews the dogs would love.
About: I have taken care of my sisters dogs ranging from 1-3 week at a time and provide love,care, safety and fun. My place is fenced and dogs can be roaming around. I currently work full time (remote) and I can walk or watch dogs before, during or after work and on the weekends. I open to onboard dogs any day. I am available to house/dog sit at owners home. I walk, feed and play with the dog during the day and night; walk the dog as much as needed. I clean up after the dog when able.
About: I’ve taken care of lots of dogs for family and friends since I was younger. I have experience with many dog breeds and special experience with larger dogs. I am patient and kind and your dog will have a great time with me! I work from home half the week so I will have plenty of availability to hang out with your pup. I live near lots of parks and can bring your dog for walks. I don’t have any pets or children, so your dog will get my full attention! I am also in a pet friendly apartment building, so your dog will feel right at home.

Bobbi is a STAR!! We're new to the area and one of our cats was still not quite settled in and still showing some signs of distress. So we were happy to find Bobbi, who understood our concerns. But Bobbi had to deal with a different problem - raccoons had apparently been casing our house and took advantage on the second night we were gone. Fortunately, Bobbi spotted right away that "something was in the house that is not a cat!", caught the offenders on camera, and adjusted her visits to keep the cats and house safe and secure. We can't recommend Detective Bobbi highly enough!
Nina & Leo were incredible care-takers of our cats. We hired them to stop by every morning to check on them and their food and water. They went above and beyond by not only sending pictures and videos of our cats, but also of the food, water and litter box. In addition, they alerted me to a gate that I left open and were immediately responsive to my questions. I will absolutely hire them again!!!!!
Ella was very patient and kind with Bunny...which is no easy feat with my dog's abandonment and fear-aggression issues! But Ella stood her ground and made sure that Bunny received nutrition, companionship and the chance to relieve herself. Well done, Ella! And I really appreciate your communicating with me using photos and texts!
