“Thanks again for taking care of my babies while I was gone! I trust you completely, and it’s such a great feeling knowing I don’t have to worry when they’re with you. You’re amazing — such a good soul and beautiful inside and out. ❤️”

“Vanessa was great once again! She is extremely communicative and took great care of my two cats while I was away. She sends tons of updates which are very appreciated! I completely recommend her and will continue to book her in the future!”

“Sean is awesome. He stayed with my two dogs for a week at my place. He kept in contact regularly and dealt with my older boy’s med schedule and younger boy’s weirdo anxiety. It was a huge relief to find a sitter who genuinely loves animals. My dogs are everything to me, but they’re needy little suckers, and they came through this week like a charm because of Sean.”

“Adrianna was super friendly and helpful even took us to the airport when Uber wasn’t working. She stayed at our place to take care of our pups and left it clean. We will definitely use her again.”

“Catherine watched my fur babes while I was in Europe. She was fantastic! I got lots of pictures and daily updates all of which eased my mind while away. I HIGHLY recommend”
“Stella was very professional, courteous, and timely with her arrival, departure and communication throughout her stay with our pups. We very much appreciated her!”

“Maria watched my dog for a week at my home while we were on vacation. It was the first time that I left him with someone I didn't know. She helped make him feel comfortable and he did really well! She sent pictures and updates and responded to my questions promptly. She left my home neat as well! I would recommend and hire her again!”

“Robin is great with our two westies. One of ours is 15 and has specific care instructions and he’s always happy and feeling great when we get home. We will continue to have Robin watch our pups when we’re away and have great peace of mind.”
“Once again using Dawn because she is the best! So reliable and the kitties love her. Very dependable and communicative. I will be back using her again I am sure!”

“Marta is absolutely wonderful! She took the time to get to know our routine and meet our two pups before taking care of them. She was excellent with managing their schedule, cooking their food and taking care of them and our home while we were away. She has a gentle demeanor that our dogs loved. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and can’t imagine life without them! Over the years, I’ve had six of my own and cared for many more through pet sitting — from quick visits to weeks-long stays. I’m experienced with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I truly love getting to know each pup’s unique quirks. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just giving them extra love and attention, I’ll make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. As a medical student, I currently have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time at home for studying. This means I’m around a lot and can give a pet consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I love taking breaks to go on walks or enjoy the outdoors, so having a furry friend fits naturally into my daily routine. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of my daily routine. I give them plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and keep their feeding and potty schedules consistent with what they’re used to. I also make sure they have cozy spots to rest and always keep water available. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routine. I follow all instructions carefully — from feeding and medication to walk times and favorite toys — to make sure their day feels familiar and stress-free. I always prioritize communication, sending regular updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes dogs deserve all the love, belly rubs, and happy walks they can get! I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and personalities — from playful puppies to older cuddle bugs — and I absolutely love spending time with them! Whether it’s a long walk, rough housing, or just cozy couch time, I’ll make sure your pup feels cared for, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and love getting to know their quirks and favorite things. You can expect lots of text updates, silly photos, and goofy videos! 🐾✨ I work unique hours during the week, so I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings for walks, drop-ins, and quality pet time. My flexible schedule lets me give pets consistent care and attention without feeling rushed. Safety is ALWAYS my first focus — keeping doors locked, leashes secure, and routines consistent. I’m attentive during walks and play, and always make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and is something I just love. Whenever I go to see a friend who owns a dog, I spend more time with the dog often times! I don’t have any of my own at the moment since my partner has allergies, but being there to dog sit will allow me to spread that love and care with them. I have watched many of my friends dogs overnight or just for the day due to my hybrid schedule - which is wonderful! I work a hybrid role - so I might be able to offer walks during the day on some days of the week. But weekends work best for me to stay over and dog sit (for those traveling or don’t want their dog in someone else’s home). This will help build trust and love with the little ones, while keeping them in the comfort of their own home. I always want to ask, what are the do’s and dont’s since every dog is different. I want to make sure they are able to relax and enjoy the company as much as I would. If I’m able to stay at the sitters home, I will routinely send updates or photos (as desired) and give them peace of mind to know that they’re little ones are safe with me. I absolutely adore dogs and I want to make them as loved as they deserve. If I take them for walks, recap anything that they did to report back to the owner as well.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and have been apart of a dog rescue organization for 9 years. I take pride in not only loving your pet but also developing a special bond with them. They become like family to me and I treat them as such. I take caring for your pup seriously as this is not a side gig for me. My priorities are to keep your fur babies safe, healthy, comfortable, and happy in a smoke free environment. I only board 1 dog at a time in my home.. Pet sitting is my job and I love getting to know your fur babies. I provide exercise, love, cuddles and safety and any other needs and wants of you and your dog. The services I am offering is pet sitting, dog boarding, and dog walking . My goal is to make sure you have a happy pup.
“We had such a wonderful vacation with all our family after a brutal year and a half apart due to the pandemic. Thanks to Laura, we never worried about our home or our dogs. She let us know every day that all was well.”

“Christina was absolutely amazing. Our dog is a service dog and usually is with us 24/7, but we were going into some foreign countries that had a lot of outbreaks of viruses affecting animals and we chose not to take her. It really worried us about where she was going to be, but after meeting Christina and her taking care of her one day as we were doing I told her we can't couldn't take her on it her, we felt confident that we had chosen the right person. She was amazing with Aurora, and I would highly recommend her as a sitter,”

“Happy to have Lauren stay and watch the furry kiddos. She took great care of them and paid extra attention to Lucy who was having some tummy issues. She kept us updated on how they were doing and took great care if the house as well. Highly recommend her services”
