“Jessica was a terrific find and in my neighborhood. Her love of dogs is evident and Pete loves her back. He is a strong dog and she manages him well. I recommend her to anyone.”
“Mila LOVED her! Like immediately! Never seen her respond so nicely within seconds to a stranger before. She could clearly sense Leticia’s good energy :) I appreciated that Leticia was available to walk her on such short notice. Mila came back tired (a sign of success) and clearly had a good walk.”
“Malek is a dog whisperer! He was wonderful with our Australian shepherd puppy - who has a lot of energy and love to give! Malek took her on some great walks, and she was actually tired after! Thank you so much, Malek!”
“Anna is great at handling an I-need-to-get-accustomed-to-you 90-pound lab. My schedule is hectic, and it is wonderful to have Anna to rely on!”
“Julia even comes in the rain. She knows how to give a great rainy day outing; Malibu was so excited to see Julia and all smiles when she returned. Thank you!!”

“Very communicative, super friendly and my dog loves him already, we are in our second week!”

“I recently started using Rachel for dog walking services, and I couldn't be happier! Shes been fantastic from the start. Communication has been excellent - she always responds promptly to messages. More importantly, my dog got along with her really well. They immediately hit it off, which gave me great peace of mind.”
About: I’m not booking males over 25 pounds ( my dog doesn’t get along with them). I grew up surrounded by dogs. I’ve learned to take care and love them since I was a child. As a teenage and young adult I took care of friends and family pets when they were traveling. I also love taking pictures of pets, since I’m passionate about dogs and also about photography. I’ve just moved to United States because of my husband job, currently working at the Brazilian embassy. My time is divided by taking care of my 2 year old boy , that also loves dogs, and also cleaning and organizing the house. Now that I just got my work permit I would love to start working with something that I love. I’ll take care of your dog respecting all your directions. I’ll take a bunch of pictures of your puppy, take them to a walk, play with them and, of course, spoil them ( If authorized). In my house they are allowed in the bed, at the couch and wherever I go.
About: I'm a lifelong animal person. I've always had at least one cat or dog literally since I was born. There are photos of me as a small baby nestled in a litter of kittens. I'm currently a proud cat lady and the human of a wonderful white marshmallow kitty and a sweet tabby kitten. I do like dogs as well, and usually owned at least one dog growing up. I'm not a professional trainer, but I know the basics of potty training puppies and generally teaching animals not to scratch furniture/beg/etc. I hope you'll consider me! I started this to supplement a part time job, but now I pet sit full time! My schedule is very flexible now, except for social commitments, existing bookings, and doctors appointments. On wednesdays I have a recurring doctor's appointment and then dungeons and dragons in the evening, so that's why I have it blocked off, but if you really want to book me on wednesdays I might say yes if its close by and a relatively short visit. I have a small apartment and don't live with any other humans so I understand the difficulties of traveling and trying to find a pet sitter. I'm completely fine with pet sitting in an apartment like mine or in a house, with or without a fenced yard. I'll adapt to whatever the animals and humans involved might need.
“Nicole walks our dog daily and we fully recommend her for anyone's pet care needs! Our dog is greatly improving on the leash after his daily walks with Nicole and is so at ease when she is around. Nicole is responsive, on time, and, most importantly, great with our dog.”
“Ben is always amazing. I have been using his boarding service and always had a great experience. This is the first time I traveled for 2 weeks and needed his help to walk my dog during that time. I cant say thank you enough for how much he loves and cares for my dog. He is a truely dog lover, very reliable. Chelsea remembered Ben right away and was so happy when he came to walk Chelsea.”
“Sarah has been walking my dogs for 2 weeks now and it has been great. She’s quick to respond to messages, flexible with schedule changes, and reliable with our bookings. We will continue to book Sarah!”
About: I am dedicated to being here for you and your pets need. I have extensive animal experience, from spending my time in college working with service dogs in training, volunteering in animal shelters, and cat sitting for several years. I have also been the go-to pet sitter for my neighbors for many years now. I am used to working with large dogs, small dogs, cats, and the occasional turtle! I will listen to exactly what you and your pet need and exceed that. I know how much it takes to trust someone with your pets and I hope to make you feel comfortable and satisfied with my services. I work full time but my hours are flexible. If you need someone in the mornings, evenings, or any time on weekends, I’m the person to go to! You can trust that I understand how important it is to ensure the safety of your animals. I pay close attention to my surroundings and will make sure there is nothing that will harm your pets. This includes making sure all doors are locked and all animals are safe and sound and giving you updates on how your pet is doing every time I stop by for a check in.
“Sonia is a wonderful person and a dog lover. She’s very dependable, on time and Paige just loved her. We would definitely call on Sonia again should the need arises. I highly recommend Sonia!”
“Suyenti was nothing short of amazing. She stepped in last minute for me when another sitter was not working out, and took amazing care of my dog. It was nice to be able to enjoy my trip without having to worry.”
About: I’ve taken care of family members dogs and I work at a dog hotel that deals with taking care dogs like feeding,bathing, and play time for 4 years. If you need someone to watch your pup during the day I am available all day everyday I am free during the week and weekends when you need a dog sitter to keep you’re animals company and to have a fun time I have two dogs to keep you’re furry animals company and I make sure to watch them at all times. If you have any requirements for your dog I will make sure to follow those rules.
About: I have done puppy training classes with my own furbaby and can teach your furbaby some basics (like sit, leave it, drop it, etc). Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to work on! I wake up, snuggle my dog, get ready for work (from home), take my dog out, eat with my dog, work, play with my dog in between doing tasks at work, work some more, then take my dog out again! This will depend on what the client needs! Flexible and open to doing what the furbaby needs! Will wipe a furbaby baby's butt if needed!
About: With years of experience caring for dogs, starting with two of my own since I was 12, I’m a trusted pet sitter for friends and family. They know their pets are safe, happy, and well-loved in my care! Walking, feeding, bathing are something that I would do! I work remotely full-time, so I'm available for drop-ins and dog walking when you need. I’m also happy to help with grooming as long as I have a heads-up. As a cat lover and owner myself, I'm always excited to help with any cat care needs, too! I provide a calm, caring environment in both my home and yours to make pets feel safe and loved. During drop-ins, I’ll spend quality time with your pet, ensuring they’re fed, exercised, and receive lots of affection and playtime. For walks, I tailor the experience to their energy level, making sure they enjoy a safe and engaging walk. Im happy to incorporate any special instructions into a drop in or dog walk!

She has great care and handles all of the pets with love and patience. She treated my dog like her own pet, sending me pictures and videos of him every day. Additionally, she even slept with him next to her when he was uneasy about being far away from me. With time, my dog was so used to being with her, he started playing with the other dogs and enjoying his time. I can always trust Laura to take good care of my dog when I'm far :)”

I have been in a club at school with her in which we train service dogs, where I have seen her practice and work with many dogs, gaining lots of experience handling them and learning how to be well in tune with their behaviors and needs.

Nicole L.Star Sitter
“Nicole is the perfect person to ask to take care of your pet. She cares for nothing more than your pet’s happiness and health, and will go above and beyond for them. When she’s not cooing over how cute other animals are, she’s spoiling her own fur-baby, Bobby. I can’t recommend anyone better than her.”
Timothy a.
“Timothy has been my go-to for when I need someone to take care of my cat, Hux, while I’m out of town. He’s very attentive to the instructions I provide and will go a step further to make sure Hux gets some playtime even though Hux is a very shy cat. I feel better knowing my cat is getting proper care while I’m gone! I’ve recommended Timothy to friends and family and have only heard great things!”
