6. Katherine M.
“It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Katherine Maynard for her exceptional abilities as a pet sitter and animal caregiver. Katherine has looked after my two dachshunds on several occasions while I was away on vacation, and I could not have asked for anyone more capable, caring, or trustworthy. From the moment she first interacted with my dogs, it was clear she had a natural, intuitive rapport with animals. She handled their individual personalities—one more energetic, the other more reserved—with ease and attentiveness. I returned each time to find them happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Katherine is extremely responsible, reliable, and respectful of both pets and the homes she cares for. Beyond that, I’ve never seen her have a single negative interaction with any animal. Her calm demeanor, sound instincts, and genuine love for animals consistently create a safe and positive environment for any pet she’s looking after. For anyone in need of a dependable, compassionate, and highly capable pet sitter, I wholeheartedly recommend Katherine Maynard without hesitation.”


7. HoChuen L.
“HoChuen is a caring, responsible, and attentive pet caregiver. He’s gentle with animals, follows care instructions closely, and truly connects with pets. I’ve seen him lovingly care for both cats and dogs, including those with special needs. He’s trustworthy, detail-oriented, and always makes sure pets feel safe and happy. Whether it’s daily routines, special diets, or giving lots of cuddles, HoChuen handles it all with patience and heart. I would absolutely trust him with my own pets and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate. Your pets will be in excellent hands with HoChuen!”

11. Kayley E.
“Kayley E. has watched our cat over a 4 year period whenever we went on an extended vacation or a long get away weekend. She would send pictures and videos of our cat cuddling and socializing with her. Kayley is completely trustworthy and responsible. Kayley even stayed at our home while we were gone and our home was left in immaculate condition. I highly recommend her services as she treated our beloved cat as her own. Kayley is an upstanding young woman with high ethics and a loving personality. Please consider her as your pet companion, Patty S.”

About: I’ve trained puppies and have raised several dogs and cats over the years. Comfortable administering medications to animals and washing dogs if they get dirty I work remote Tuesday and Friday and am available to stay at your house during my working hours those days (and weekends) to watch your pet and take dogs on a walk during the day I will ensure doors and gates are properly closed/locked so your pet does not get out, I will check on them periodically, play with pets to keep them active, and nurture them


17. Jennifer S.
“We have relied on Jen to pet sit our corgi, Phillip, many times over the past year and couldn’t be happier. We feel reassured knowing Jen will provide Phillip with loving care, undivided attention, and plenty of exercise. We adore seeing how excited Phillip gets when we drop him off at Jen’s home. Routine check-ins provide us with complete peace of mind while Phillip is under her care. We can’t recommend Jen enough.”


18. Ellie M.
“Ellie is an amazing dog mom of her own pup, and has the experience with pets of many sizes and breeds! She enjoys dog and cat companions and would provide the best care for your pet!”


19. Charlotte J.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and now as an adult have my own. I have always loved dogs, and taking my dog on a daily walk is relaxing and important for both me and her. I am looking to help out other owners and also make some extra cash doing it. I have experience with animal emergencies, noticing medical problems and dealing with them, and overall caring for the dogs as if they were my own. I feel that my experience and reliability is necessary for good care of a beloved pet. For dog walking, I have the ability to take the dogs on as long or as short of a walk is necessary for each animal. I love dogs and I can’t wait to give the kindest and best attention to yours!
20. Kiansu R.
“Kiansu R. is a marvelous pet sitter. I was nervous at first leaving my little Archie for over a week. Once I arrived my worries were put to rest when he was greeted with warm attention. Kiansu was everything you'd want in a sitter very professional, communicative, and responsive; would send pictures and videos. She would even take him for his midnight walks. I didn't worry at all about Archie during my trip, I knew he was in good hands. She was also flexible with the pickup time when my flight was delayed and was very understanding about it. I would highly recommend her to everyone.”
