“Raven was excellent with our skittish rescue terrier, Frankie. She has severe separation anxiety and cannot be left alone for more than 30 seconds and Raven was the first person to watch her since we adopted her 5 months ago. We were surprised by how fast Raven won over her trust! I'd recommend Raven to anyone with an anxious pup!”


About: Hello! My name is Kate and I am an long time pet owner with experience with puppies to elderly dogs with special needs and everything in between. I have taken care of small breeds such as chihuahuas all the way up to a Great Dane lab mix. As an active individual, I am able to keep up with the needs of energetic dogs. I love all animals and I have also had experience fostering cats and kittens for one year, which included vet visits and medication administration. I strive to provide professional pet sitting and walking services, and I can assure you that I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
“Catherine was outstanding. Not only taking care of our dogs but house as well for a week and a half. A sitter I’m happy to keep coming back to again and again!”

“Alexandra was an A-1 super sitter! First she spent almost a whole hour with my three small dogs and me so that we could all get to know one another before booking. Second, she was up for a couple of unique challenges — endless patience required for one of my dogs to trust and receive affection and also the burden of sleeping with all three! Alexandra has a good soul and really cared for my babies the way I wanted them cared for while I was away. It was so successful that I feel like I can finally travel again! (Without the pups.)”

“Scott was a wonderful pet sitter. He sent frequent updates, was patient with our pup (this was his first time with a sitter!), and was really respectful in our home. He’s kind, flexible, great with dogs, and we’re grateful for how well he took care of our pup.”

“Our 3rd booking with Melody went just as great as the others! She’s responsible, communicative and very clean. Most importantly, she gives great care to our dog with plenty of attention and play, which allows us to enjoy our vacation knowing he is in great hands.”

“Ursula is so caring to my old Sophie. She also keeps the house clean and conscientiously washes the sheets and dishes and toilet. Responsive communication. Thanks Ursula”
“Dey was a fantastic house sitter, so easy to work with, and took great care of our dog. Not only was Dey super responsive, but I think my house was cleaner than I left it.”

“Kirby stayed with our dog and cat for six nights and followed special diet instructions for our dog, which we appreciated. Both pets seemed well cared for when we returned home, and our home was left spotless!”


“Alicia provided amazing in home care for my 2 dogs. She is very professional, friendly and seems to genuinely love spending time engaging and caring for dogs. She proactively shared daily updates of their adventures and included some incredible photos.”

“Heather is wonderfully kind and attentive! I felt very comfortable leaving her to dog-sit my dear pup at my house. She was communicative and caring, highly recommend and will book again :).”


“We highly recommend Sparkle! She thoughtfully communicated with us throughout our trip and sent us adorable photos of our cats daily. This made leaving them for the first time slightly less daunting. She took great care of our house and our two kitties. We came home to a clean house and two healthy, happy cats. We are so fortunate to have found her and will request on all of our future vacations.”

“After another sitter bailed on us, Kai came to our rescue!! Kai followed all of our instructions without any problems, seemed super patient with our silly frenchie and his antics and left our place nice and clean! Thank you so much Kai for all of your help!!”

“Kieran was a fantastic dog and house sitter. Our dog Pando was happy and healthy and when we returned and the house was in perfect shape. Kieran was responsive and easy to communicate with before and during our trip. Thank you!”


“Erin helped us out in a pinch that required some extra communication and a handoff. She was professional, communicative and helpful, and we were confident that the pets were well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!”


“Fantastic sitter, my dogs immediately loved her and she took excellent care of them and our home. Our dogs have high needs, pill regimens, and are aggressive towards other dogs and she handled all of it so well!”

“Ash responded quickly to our last minute house sitting request for our two dogs - spaniel and border collie - and did a great job caring for them while we were gone, including messaging us to confirm that one of the pups wasn’t allergic when he got stung by a bee. The house was also in great shape when we got back!”

Ursula was an incredible sitter. She is very communicative, sends check ins and photos whenever she can which was so appreciated 👏 she is also considerate of the space and left our apartment so tidy. I came home to a wonderfully happy doggy and am excited to utilize her services in the future!

Jackson is the best! I’ve got a senior pup and a lot of anxiety around her health and Jackson was super helpful- reassured me, asked great questions, sent updates, pictures, etc. He also checked in about how much communication I wanted, which was helpful. He’s gentle, kind, and super easy to work with. I felt totally safe leaving my little girl in his care. Thank you, Jackson! Looking forward to working with you again!
I can’t recommend [name] highly enough. She stayed with our golden retriever Riley and our cat Rusty for four nights while we were out of the country, during a week when our building was replacing its hot water system. I’ll be honest — I underestimated how bad the water situation would be. I told her there’d be no hot water, but it turned out the water was off entirely for stretches, and she found that out on her own. She never once made me feel bad about it. She just handled it, with total grace, and kept me updated the whole time with photos and messages so I never had to wonder how the animals were doing from another country. Riley and Rusty were happy and well for and she was generous with her time in a week that asked a lot more of her than she signed up for. If you’re deciding whether to book her, book her. We’ll absolutely be using her again.

Amber was great with both of my dogs. She was reliable and her communication was fantastic. I love her positive attitude and I could tell my dogs were well taken care of during her time with them. Both my dogs have medication schedules that she followed and had no problem giving oral meds to my sheppy. I'll use Amber again!

Mandy is the BEST! I highly recommend! She is timely and communicative and sends the cutest videos daily. I have 2 very energetic and reactive pups and Mandy is so patient and loving with them. It is so nice to feel relaxed when out of town and not worry a second about your babies being in the best of hands!
