“Kimmeth really understands cats!!! She is absolutely amazing and caring and the drop-in card are absolut joy! We have total trust when she takes care of your babies!”


“Estefania has taken care of our cats twice now and we are so thankful to her for her loving care and attention. She is always responsive and gives us great peace of mind while we are away. Thank you so much”


“Krystal is the best! She always gets the cutest photos of my cat Zuko to send to me. Leaving my cat to go on trips can be hard but I’m comforted knowing Krystal is checking up on him!”


“Heather is absolutely attentive, professional and reliable. She has a way with my dog. It must be because she has so much dog experience, is so caring, and has a background in healthcare. I know I can rely on her. She sends the best videos and pictures. I hope we continue to work together for a long time!”


“Alyssa has been amazing with our one year old German Shepherd. He’s very sensitive and needs some patience, TLC, and understanding. Alyssa has a calming energy matched with leadership and good animal intuition that our GSD has responded remarkably quickly to. Alyssa came over for a meet n greet - took the time to learn his quirks, training, and personality then came over again for a one on one walk. Our GSD runs away, barks, and hides when new people try to clip his leash but she sent a pic twenty minutes later on a walk with him. We were not only impressed with her care, demeanor, and skill but also extremely grateful/relieved to have found a sitter like Alyssa. Highly recommend her for all dog sitting needs and breeds!”


About: I CANT GO ON VACATION WITHOUT SEEING PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF MY ANIMALS SO YOU SHOULDN'T EITHER! I will happily send you lots of videos and pictures of your animals throughout my time with your animals. I love to see all the different quirks that’s make them who they are and want you to know they are healthy and happy to ease any worries while you’re away. ABOUT ME: I've owned and taken care of dogs since I was born. I cannot remember a time there weren't at least 2 in our house at a time. I currently own two pitbulls I got in college and love them like children. Would love the opportunity to love on your pups! I have experience in all types of situations with dogs and will make sure to ask any questions in order to respect your home and animals as everyone is different. VERY FLEXIBLE: I am available for your animals when needed. Very flexible with my daily hours. For stays - I am flexible and work from home. Just need wifi to be provided and will be able to attend to your pets. I want to follow any schedule and rules you have implemented to keep consistency and eliminate as much anxiety for you and your animals as possible. I realize it’s not easy to leave your pets so I will make sure to keep you updated and send photos as much as you’d like. I like to over communicate and ask questions before doing things in your home or with your animals in order to respect both and keep the trust you have given me.

“Dawn is a wonderful cat sitter! Dawn is very responsive, dependable, and took the time needed to learn how to best interact with my cat, Daisy! Her great cat reports and pictures helped make my vacation worry-free! Great experience!”


“Robin did a fantastic job! She kept our cats happy and well cared for while we were away. She's reliable, responsive, and stays connected with lots of updates, which gave us real peace of mind. On top of that, she went above and beyond by helping with a leaking A/C issue—something we truly appreciated. Highly recommend Robin for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”


“This is by far been hands-down the best Rover experience and it is because of her incredible care and camaraderie with my dog. She was so happy to become best friends with him and he loves her.”


“Aileen provided exceptional service attending to Phelps while I was away for 10 days. She was always prompt and courteous. I felt comfortable with giving her access to my home and everything was as I left it. I will definitely use her services again.”


About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and love giving them the attention, playtime, and care they need. I’m great with puppies, follow care instructions closely, and always treat pets like family. I’m currently in between jobs and have a very open, flexible schedule. I’m looking for something meaningful to fill my time and what better way than spending it with dogs! I don’t have one of my own right now, so I’d love the chance to care for yours and give them all the love and attention they deserve. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I make sure pets are always in a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow all care instructions closely, keep a close eye on them during walks or playtime, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their well-being.

“Sabina loved Nicole from the meet and greet! I got lots of pictures from the drop-ins and Nicole was super communicative. I also really appreciated her making sure everything was clean before I got home!”


About: Basic rules for training puppies to socialize and interact with other dogs, and caring for and protecting older dogs when feeding, care and walking them. Because I have a flexible work schedule, I can care for your pet from Monday to Sunday, starting at 8 a.m. at the times that are most convenient for you, until 7 p.m. For the service I offer, I make sure that your pet has the necessary safety measures so that my work can be carried out with confidence, avoiding stress in the pet and that it has a fun and safe walk.

“Claudia was able to step in and help us out when our pet sitter just left our dog in our apartment when we were abroad. She was able to come in on the moments notice to make sure our pup was okay and provided us with lots of photos and updates to make sure we knew she was okay. Claudia is very comfortable with dogs and made us feel at ease knowing that our baby was taken cared of.”


“Facundo is super easy to work with. He kept me updated on the entire process and was very quick in reply. He also took great care of my dog, I would definitely recommend Facundo!”


“Cherie is the best cat sitter! She gave amazingly detailed reports on how my cat was doing and how he was eating and interacting with her. I felt so good knowing my brand was in the care of Cherie! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a drop in visitor for your pet:)”


About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.

About: Do you love spoiling your furbaby? If so, look no further! We are a family of dog lovers who love nothing more than treating your dog like family. As the former owners of a precious, gentle, and spoiled boxer who lived to the ripe old age of 12.5, our kids ask almost every day for us to adopt another dog. While we aren't quite ready to own another one just yet, we love keeping our doors wide open to care for dogs and are looking to meet a few new fur friends! In addition to having owned a dog, we have experience caring for other people's dogs off and on for the past fourteen years. Our children (aged 6 and 8) have been raised to both love and respect dogs, and love to play, cuddle, and care for dogs without overwhelming them and making sure their needs are met. Take a look at the pictures to see them in action! We know that every dog has different needs, and we are sensitive to them. We have a wonderfully walkable neighborhood, a five-foot-high concrete fenced in backyard, and plenty of hands ready to pet and play. We allow dogs on our furniture and our bed if that's what your doggo needs! When caring for an animal, we try to cater to their needs as much as possible. We are happy to keep your dog on their routine at home, and also enjoy bringing them into our routines as they would like. One of our humans works from home full-time, and the other part-time, and the two little humans are both in elementary school. As such, there's typically always a human at home to tend to your animal's needs. We have a very dog friendly home, with tile floors throughout and a fully fenced in backyard. We have a very walkable neighborhood and working from home, we believe in plenty of walks if that is what your dog enjoys. If your dog loves car rides, we are happy for them to join us in dropping off and picking up our kids from school. We enjoy the occasional hike and a trip to Starbucks, so if your dog likes that too, a hike and a pup cup are something we're happy to spoil your dog with. If your dog is a lap dog, we love to Netflix and chill and always have an open lap. To limit dander, we do give a quick bath in our walk-in shower after your dog has settled in for those who haven't had a recent bath. If this causes excessive anxiety, we do request that your dog is recently bathed before coming over.

“Billi is my go-to dog sitter and walker!! She has been a close friend and amazing with my furry baby Lily. :) I highly recommend Billi to assist you with your puppy as she is very liable and great with all breeds. Lily is always in great hands when I am out of town and that is extremely important when I travel a lot for work.”


Patrick & Meredith H.
“Patrick and his wife, Meredith, adopted an aging boxer after a neighbor had her first child and the child had allergies to the dog. They loved and babied that boxer in his last years as if they had gotten him when he was a pup. When the original owner would come over to walk or visit the boxer, the boxer would obediently greet the original owner and then quickly hide behind furniture for fear he'd have to go back to his original home. He knew he had it too good to leave Patrick and Meredith. Seeing how they preciously treated that boxer, friends started asking if they would care for their dogs when they were out-of-town. The friends' dogs loved coming to their house to stay and play because they were made to feel part of the family. Home away from home!”
