“I had a wonderful experience with my dog sitter and would absolutely book with her again! She took excellent care of my two dogs and was attentive, kind, gentle, and professional throughout the entire process. She followed all instructions carefully, kept me updated, and treated my dogs as if they were her own. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing my pets were in such caring hands while I was away. When I returned home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my girls! 🐾❤️”
“Chris was great with my puppy! Very attentive to both my needs and my puppy’s needs during his visits. Great communication and photos to ease my nerves. I’m would highly recommend him for any of your pets needs!!”
“Extremely impressed with Maria taking care of my cat. My cat is newly rescued and very scared of people. While I was away my cat found some places I didn't even know were possible to hide that were probably not very safe for a cat. Maria went out of her way to get my cat out, and prevent her from going back. By the end of the week my cat was even opening up a bit towards her.”
About: I care for dogs of all different sizes and temperaments and have specialized experience caring for reactive and skiddish doggos. I know how hard it can be but it’s also that much more rewarding. Booking with me you will have peace of mind and your dog will be cared for as if they were my own My schedule is fully flexible so your pets have my complete attention while they are in my care. I try to maintain their typical routine while you’re away to minimize their stress. I provide as much TLC as possible and as a bonus I can reinforce any training you’d like while you’re away. All pups tend to feel very comfortable around me and my experience with even “challenging” temperaments has prepared me to love every unique personality. Regardless of whether you’d like me to spend the night in your home I will be with your dog at least 3 times a day and spend quality time in the home together and exercise outside twice a day in addition to potty breaks
“Nicole is wonderful with my Atlas. She is always on time, communicative, and sends lots of pics. I was concerned that he might develop separation anxiety when I returned to work, but Nicole’s drop-ins keep him happy and engaged (the only separation anxiety is mine 😊). Her consistency and experience is helping him learn his manners (leash and potty etiquette) very well.”
“Nina is so great! She is so quick to respond and was able to accommodate a very last minute meet and greet and drop in services for our pup! She is very communicative, sends great updates, and our pup loved her. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Elvia was great with Ophelia! Came to do a meet and greet before, and was very flexible when our plans changed at the last minute, which we appreciated. We will definitely be booking dog sitting with Elvia again in the future!”
“Sarah is great! She took the job in a short notice and was very responsive with messages and instructions. Sarah visited my 1.5 year old cat three times and each time she wrote me a detailed description of the visit and also took tons of pictures. Because my cat always takes some litter out with him after doing his business, Sarah even swept and vacuumed the bathroom floor for me:). She also helped to feed wet food during her visit and refill dry food for the other days, which was exactly what I hoped for. With her tremendous knowledge and responsibilities, she gave me a lot of caring tips regarding nutrition. I couldn’t be more satisfied with her good service and would highly recommend her to anybody. Although my experience with Sarah was only limited to cat, I’m sure she is an excellent dog sitter as well with all the dedications she had shown. Thank you Sarah.”
“Aaron has been an amazing sitter for my pets. I have an older lab and he has worked with him on several behavior issues and I see such a dramatic change in my dog! I highly recommend Aaron not only for pet sitting but training as well.”
“Stefanie was fantastic! She went above and beyond to take care of our cats. They were well loved and taken care of while we were away, and we will definitely ask her to look after them again in the future. Highly recommend!!”
“We’re so grateful to Claudia for taking such great care of Luna and Beanie while we were away! She did an amazing job not only spending time with them but also keeping everything clean and tidy. One of the cats had an accident outside the litter box, which I was a bit worried about, but Claudia took care of it right away and reassured us that everything was fine. It really gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you, Claudia, for treating our cats and our home with such care!”
“Annabel did a great job for my 2 cats while I was away for a week. She sent great pictures and even cleaned up when they got into a treat bag one day. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley and Mauricio were absolutely amazing with our cat Porfirio during the holidays. They went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. They were super reliable and communicative. Porfirio warmed up to them quickly and seemed to really enjoy their visits, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Nicole is incredible! She takes her time with our shy dog to make her feel comfortable, and we feel so grateful for that. She also sends pictures without us even having to ask! 10/10 recommend!”
“LisaLeigh really helped us out when we were in a bind. She was communicative and took great care of our two pups for the night. I will absolutely be calling her again!”

Serena is amazing! I’d highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond. My cats were drawn to her from their first meet and greet. They loved her company & got attached and accustomed very quickly. She was very flexible & she listened to all instructions. She sent daily photos of my boys which we loved! Will definitely request her services again if we are ever out of town!
Danielle was an amazing cat sitter for Sasha. She was incredibly easy to communicate with from the beginning, and I really appreciated how she proactively asked thoughtful questions and made a detailed care plan instead of just doing the bare minimum. She followed all instructions perfectly, was very kind and reliable, and overall gave me a really comfortable and safe feeling while I was away. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I came home feeling relaxed knowing Sasha had been in such good hands. Highly recommend!
This cat sitter was fantastic and gave me total peace of mind while I was away for a week. They sent adorable daily photos and updates showing my cat happily playing, eating, and they kept everything food, water, litter box, and playtime—perfectly on schedule. I came home to a relaxed, healthy kitty, and I’ll be booking them again without hesitation!
Kamila is the best find I ever had for my cat. Lots of photos and detailed feedback. She looked after my cat like her own and can tell she truly is an animals lover. She checked in on time each day and I can tell from the photos that she had a bond with my cat. Will definitely use her again for my next trip!!
This is my 2nd time with Maria and I could not be happier! We usually have a friend house/ pet-sit for us, so I was a little nervous about having a stranger caring for our dog and 2 cats, but Maria immediately put those worries to rest! Our pets loved her so much they weren't even that happy to see us when we returned home ;) Highly recommend!
Connor was great watching our cat Pepper while we were away! He sent photos and a detailed check in each day, making sure she had everything she needed. He went above and beyond cleaning around her little box and taking out the trash when he noticed it was full. Pepper can be quite shy, and he took the time to coax her out with toys and give her extra attention! Would highly recommend Connor for any pet sitting needs!
Paige is incredible! She is very reliable, flexible, and also very responsive. She is great with my two very shy kitties and has even gotten them to trust her enough to let her pet them (which is not a small feat). I trust her completely with my cats and I am always assured that they will be well cared for. I’ve booked Paige’s services for almost a year now and plan to keep booking her whenever she is available to help.
