We have used Nicole multiple times. We needed her to come let our dog out while we were away from our home for a long day. She was prompt and loving to our dog. She is always dependable for a drop in visit. We will use her again for sure.

I hired Daniela when my baby was born to do drop-in visits for my cats on a tentative schedule and she (and her mom) were amazing! Both cats were very happy and well taken care of. I really appreciated that they came at the same time each day so that our cats knew what to expect. Our house was left in perfect condition. We will definitely hire Daniela again!

About: My family and I have owned multiple dogs and I have dog sat for others dozens of times. I have been told that I am very good with Dogs. I am a former human resources administrator, I am not working currently. I suffer from chronic migraines and I need an opportunity with a flexible schedule and I love dogs and have been told that I am very good with Dogs. Recently I had to care for my nieces dog and he is very friendly with most humans but is reactive to other dogs. Taking him for walks around the house required patience and attention if another dog presented themselves.

About: I’ve always loved animals. In Ukraine, my family had a farm where we nursed all types of animals, from kittens and dogs, to cows and chickens. In America, I have two cats and a dog who I grew up with and have taken care of for years. All the times I’ve pet-sit in the past, my clients, myself — and of course, the pets — were all satisfied. My medical experience has bred a pragmatic, thorough and alert mindset, offering a set of skills that I could carry over to pet care. Overall, I love spending time with animals, and I couldn’t imagine a more ideal job than pet-sitting! Currently, I work part-time and fit volunteering in wherever my schedule allows. I’m free on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, with an open schedule on Tuesdays after 6:30 PM and on Thursdays and Fridays after 2:30 PM. As such, I’m capable of providing plenty of attention to your pets, with a relatively flexible schedule. After years of bathing my cats and dog despite their reluctance, I’ve learned plenty about safety when it comes to handling animals. Giving medications, handling collars and leashes, and stimulating pets is simple for me. I’ve encountered many different situations and I’m equipped to deal with the vast majority. At the end of the day, the pets are my main priority, and my empathy and concern for animals makes me eager to work in any situation.

Cassidy was a stellar sitter for my two cats! We were gone for 10 days which was the longest in a while that they’d been on their own and we came back to very happy, well-taken-care-of buddies, even our stand-offish diva cat who only came out a few times for her. Cassidy’s daily updates were sweet and thorough and she even let us know about a small issue with the house. Absolutely wonderful experience!

About: I have taken care of several dogs in the past of different ages. This care has included walks, dog sitting overnight and drop in’s. Some of the dogs have required medication and specialized diets. I am currently in a masters program for Occupational Therapy. I am available Monday-Thursday in the morning, Friday nights and Saturday-Sunday all day. I am near some parks with lots of grassy areas and am in a good neighborhood. I will make sure to be attentive to their needs, give them affection and keep them safe during our outings. I will abide by food restrictions and will adjust locations of walks depending on if the dogs are dog friendly/aggressive.

Anna took exceptional care of my two babies, and followed all of my instructions! She was polite and checked in with me on any questions about the babies and gave me a heads-up if she might be stopping by early. I came home to a perfect and clean apartment, and two very happy and well-fed babies. Highly recommend!

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.

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.
