“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!”

Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I’m reliable about schedules, walks, feeding times, and consistent daily care. I treat every pet as my own, with a strong focus on safety, supervision, and comfort. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain a clean and secure environment, respect your home, and will provide updates for peace of mind.

“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!”

“Stefanie was amazing! Always kept me updated and was so communicative. My kitty cat loved her and I would absolutely recommend her in the future! An amazing sitter.”

“Nina is wonderful. She made me feel so safe leaving my 7 month old puppy. I was able to enjoy my vacation and my dog loved her. She has great character and is an educated woman. I was blessed to find her . I wish she lived closer to me.”

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.
“Hanaya was great with our anxious mini-Golden doodle. She took great care of him, and was extremely flexible with dates and times. We will definitely use Hanaya again!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of different breeds and ages! I’ve been able to give medication if needed. Love playing with dogs with all types of personalities. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I focus on keeping dogs comfortable and happy! My schedule is super flexible for the month of January. I will be starting in person nursing school at the end of January. However, I will still be available for night walks or weekends after January. I have always been a big animal lover. By showing them love with cuddles, playtime, and long walks. I am always sure to communicate with any questions I have so that I can always be sure to give the best care for your pet!

“Violeta did an excellent job with our cats while my husband and I were away for the holidays. She’s responsive, attentive and my cats were in good spirits. I highly recommend her services!”

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!”

“Faith always does an amazing job walking Devin. He is a senior toy poodle with special needs who is very reluctant to walk with just anyone. She has a special ability to coax him along and is very careful to take great care of him. She is always on time and very responsive. Highly recommend.”

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.
“Michelle is incredibly helpful and friendly. She checked in on my cats during an emergency without hesitation, she immediately said she would go and make sure they were okay. She’s very sweet, and you can absolutely trust her for drop-in visits with your cats or dogs.”

About: I have a special love for animals. I enjoy spending time playing with them and caring for them. I grew up taking care of dogs, cats and small pets. I am a new nurse grad. Most of my work is done from home, which leaves plenty of time to care and play with any pets! I have a small fenced in back yard as well as parks and trails right near my home. I also am available to house or dog sit at your residence.

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.

Margaret did an amazing job taking care of my cats. They took a liking to her quickly and she was very attentive to their needs. They received lots of love and play time, and I got some great photos in her updates. I’d be happy to have her for drop ins again!

Melissa is an excellent dog sitter, would recommend her to anyone! She did several drop-in visits during a weekend while we were away and was super communicative and great with our pup. She sent me several photos and videos that truly melted my heart, it was so clear how good of care she was giving to our girl. I have fullest intentions to work with Melissa again in the future when we need her as she is very reliable, compassionate, trustworthy, and an excellent dog sitter. Finley loved her!

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.
