“Summar is the best! We forgot to schedule dog-sitting this past weekend and she was willing to help us out in a pinch. Our dog was thrilled to have more time with Summar - he loves her and she takes amazing care of him and our home while we are away. Thank you Summar!”


“Renee went above and beyond to make sure my baby was healthy and happy! Would recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind while they’re out of town!”


“Mark always goes above and beyond, leaving your pup (and place) better than he found it. He’s a natural when it comes to dogs. Not only does he provide ample care for your pup, he encourages good behaviors and reinforces training. He will always be my go-to man for dog sitting, as both my dog and I adore him. Thanks for all you do Mark!”


“Tori is a great sitter for our senior pups. She takes great care of them, follows their complicated care instructions, and administers eye drops. She is a perfect houseguest, leaves the apartment in perfect condition, and even washes their meal bowls. If you’re considering her for dog walking or sitting, look no further!”

“Christina has been cat sitting my two fur babies for a couple of months when I go on business trips. She has wonderful communication and my cats (who are picky) love when she’s over. They are well taken cared of and hope to continue booking with Christina for future pet sitting needs ! Thank you, Christina !”


“I recently booked Julia to house sit and look after my young cat while I was on vacation. My cat hasn’t been away from me for long and I was worried about leaving her. Julia was incredibly helpful and responsive, completely making me feel at ease throughout the process. She is professional, an intelligent communicator, and very gifted with animals. My cat is very shy but I could tell that she was happy and comfortable with Julia through the many pictures and videos I received. Highly recommend. Thank you Julia! I will be booking again!”


“Elena was absolutely fantastic with Dudley. We had to be out of town for several days and Elena did everything we needed to keep him happy and taken care of. She took him for several walks each day to the point where he now thinks anytime somebody moves in the house, it's to take him for a walk :)”


“Addie was amazing watching my kitties! She was very communicative including lots of pictures and videos which I loved! Also very responsive and easy to plan with. The cats were well taken care of and loved and even my plants got some love too!”



“As usual, Diana did an amazing job taking care of my two cats for a week while I was on vacation abroad. She provided lots of updates daily, followed instructions, and left my apartment in great condition. Could not recommend her more!”


“Gabriel was great! He stayed in our house with our dog for a week and was responsible, tidy, communicative, flexible, and took wonderful care of our dog. Highly recommend and would have him again anytime.”


“Karachi was one of the easiest sitters we’ve ever had for our senior dog! He requires some special instructions and she followed them to a T. She left our home spotless and we returned to a very relaxed and well-taken care of pup. 10/10 would recommend Karachi for any pet care needs!”


“Erica stayed at our house and took care of our 99lb German Shepherd. She was very communicative and attentive. We have worked with her more than once and will look for her again in the future!”


“Mya did a great job taking care of my dog Winnie. She was communicative and sent lots of fun pictures. I would absolutely trust her to watch Winnie again!”


“Sai was a wonderful petsitter! Sai watched our two dogs and cat for two weeks, staying in our home during the time. I would absolutely recommend Sai. He checked in with us a few times to let us know how the pets were doing and we arrived home to a tidy house and happy animals.”


About: I am currently a dog walker for a local service looking to add some doggos to my schedule! I have been around animals my entire life. My family had at least one dog and one cat at all times when I was growing up. I have experience with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I absolutely love animals!! I have a dog that is 6 years old, we got her at the start of COVID and she is my soulmate dog. I am currently between jobs and looking for some joy and a way to fill some time, what better way than to help care for your pet! I care deeply for animals, being with them brings me so much happiness. You can trust that I will do everything in my power to keep your pet safe, fed, and loved in your absence. I am currently between jobs so I have ample time to offer to any pet. Anytime, anywhere I can be there to help out with your pet! I don't offer boarding in my home because my dog is very reactive to other animals but I would be more than happy to come to your home and care for your pet there. I love running around the yard, playing with enrichment toys and going on walks.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, attention, and genuine care. What sets me apart is my calm and consistent presence, which helps pets feel safe, especially in their own home. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler pace and extra care. I’m available every week day between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, which gives me a consistent window to dedicate time and attention to pets. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so walking dogs or caring for pets during that time fits perfectly into my schedule. I only offer pet care in the client’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I make sure to follow any specific routines or instructions provided, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also keep the environment clean and give pets plenty of attention and affection so they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.

“Korrey was amazing! He was very attentive and understand with my concerns regarding general care, as well as my dog’s previous health issues. He kept me up to date with everything they were doing from her behavior, her day-to-day routine, etc.! He was extremely charismatic and went the extra mile for my girl. I will definitely be booking with him again when I need services!”


“Sun was fantastic! Not only was she loving with our dogs, she was a wonderful houseguest. I would highly recommend Sun and look forward to booking with her again!”

“Paige is a wonderful pet sitter. She has been sitting for us since she was a teenager, so almost ten years now! She has a special bond with my senior dog and Tutu is always excited to see her. Tutu requires medication at certain times during the day and Paige has no problem administering it. My youngest dog was abused in his previous home and is wary of strangers. Paige is very sensitive to his needs and he even gives her kisses now! I never have to worry when I leave my pets with her.”
