“I cannot say enough fabulous things about Rachael. I found her while being in a pinch out of town on vacation, needing someone last minute to step in for a drop-in visit and she was immediately responsive and available. She is highly accommodating and my Cane Corso girl loves her. She has pulled through for me several times and I am so thankful for her. I cannot recommend her enough!”


“Kelly was so great with our pup! She spent extra time with her and made sure that she was comfortable. She kept in touch with us throughout our trip, and provided thorough updates. We would love to hire her again!”


“This is the second time Irina has taken care of our cat and she did such an amazing job! She definitely loves our old kitty and did a really good job at cleaning up her accidents while giving her the love that she needs! She was great at communicating with me and we will definitely be booking again!”


About: I have been born and raised with multiple dogs and 30+ cats. I have always been with animals, and I am highly experienced with their behavior and how to properly take care of them. I am also a genuine pet lover. I will make all of them happy and that’s my mission. My work start at 1 pm so all the week day morning I am able to take care of animals. I also work remotely on Friday so I can do late afternoons on Friday. The weekend are completely vacant. for in-home services, I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and respecting your space. I’ve been around animals my whole life and understand their needs and behaviors. I’m happy to walk dogs, feed both dogs and cats, and play with your cat to make sure they get attention and stimulation. I can also clean litter boxes, food areas, or any messes. You can count on me to keep your pet happy and your home tidy, with regular updates for your peace of mind.

About: I have taken care of friends' and familys' dogs for over 10 years, and have always had a dog of my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels - from playful puppies who need structure and stimulation to senior dogs who need a gentle, attentive touch. I have trained my own dog to sit, stay, walk off leash, shake, and even to smile! I’ve cared for dogs with a range of needs, including medication administration, anxiety, and leash reactivity. I’m also an avid runner and love including high-energy dogs in my workouts (with your permission, of course!). Whether your pet needs active playtime or a calm, cozy environment, I adjust my approach to fit their unique needs. I prioritize communication, consistency, and creating a stress-free experience, both for you and your pet :) I’m a graduate student with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s needs! I’m also a runner and love bringing high-energy pups along for safe, fun runs. Whether your pet prefers morning walks, evening strolls, or anything in between, I’m happy to make it work. Just let me know what your pet loves, and I’ll be there! Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease. I’ll follow their usual routine and am happy to accommodate any special needs, like anxiety, senior care, or training reinforcement. If they’re staying with me, they’ll get a true home away from home. My own dog is a rescue, and I’ve done everything to make him feel secure, loved, and supported, and I’ll treat your pup the same way. He’s super friendly and ranges from total couch potato to full-on zoomies. He also loves welcoming new buddies into our home. With my flexible grad school schedule, your dog will get plenty of attention, activity, and a front-row seat to whatever show I’m currently binging - whatever they need most! When I’m in your home, I’ll treat your space and routines with care and respect. You’ll get regular updates and cute pics so you can relax knowing your pet’s in great hands!

“We couldn’t be happier with Bennie & Jennie’s care for our shy and overly-attached kitty, Keesha. We’ve only ever left her for one night and were now going away for five days, so we were worried about how she’d cope. But Jennie won her over from day one and we knew Keesha would be in great hands. Jennie was always communicating with us and giving great updates, photos and videos of Keesha. I will definitely be using Bennie and Jennie’s services the next time we go away!”


About: Since I was 12 years old, I have been actively caring for dogs. My first dog lived to 19 years old, thanks to the loving care from me and my family. Over the years, many friends have trusted me to look after their pets during vacations, showing confidence in my responsible and caring approach. I’ve helped train puppies by teaching basic commands and good behavior, building strong bonds with them. I regularly take dogs to the park for exercise and socialization to keep them healthy and happy. I also handle grooming tasks like bathing to keep them clean and comfortable. This hands-on experience has made me confident and compassionate in providing well-rounded care for dogs of all ages. I’m currently freelancing, so I have plenty of time to play, care for, and give your pups lots of attention! I’m also available for boarding. I don’t have pets at my place right now, but I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with regular meals, fresh water, playtime, and exercise. I treat every pet like family and respect their unique needs.

“Bella was a great help to us with some last minute bookings for our cat. She was always on time for each visit and took great care while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again!”


About: I treat every pet like family and have experience with dogs of all ages, including playful puppies and senior pets with special needs. I’m patient, reliable, and adapt my care to each pet’s personality, whether that means high-energy playtime or gentle walks. I'm comfortable administering medication, managing special diets, and supporting pets with anxiety. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, quick bond with animals, and consistent communication to keep you updated and worry-free. I currently work full time onsite schedule but typically end my day around 4pm so I’ll have ample time for pet care. Weekends are always free for me as well so I would love spending time with pets! I am offering to come to my clients home, I will make sure that the pet feels safe with me and go based on their schedule and needs. I will plan on offering walks as well, I usually would research what route is best to take for their dog or ask the owner if they have a preferred route.

About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs my whole life. I’ve looked after friend’s dogs while they’re away on vacation. I’ve also looked after my sick mother my whole life and I know what it takes to provide the best care. I’m only at work for 4 hours but my brother is home all day to look after your fur baby! Your pet would be looked after and cared for 24/7! My complex has a little dog park and I go on long walks daily. I am a big dog person and would take care of your pet like it was my own to ensure the best care!!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve looked after pets of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies to mellow senior companions—and I always treat them with the same love and attention I’d give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, cozy cuddle time, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for. I follow routines closely, keep things clean and consistent, and do my best to help your pet feel right at home while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I work flexible hours, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I can work daily to take care and to play with your lovely furry friends. I offer drop-in visits to keep your pet comfortable at home. I follow feeding routines, clean litter boxes, and spend time playing or giving affection. If your pet enjoys walks, I’m happy to take them out for fresh air and exercise to help them stay happy and healthy while you’re away.

“Melissa was fantastic and took great care of our 3 cats while we were away. We loved the detailed updates and photos we received as a part of each visit - it really helped my partner feel more at ease when leaving his cat for so long. Melissa was extremely responsive and you could tell she wanted to make sure the animals received only the best care. I would absolutely rebook with Melissa if given the opportunity!”


About: I cared for my family dogs when I was a kid that sparked my interest in animals. I then went on to house sit for my neighbors' cats when I got older for a little over 2 years. Now I own my own dog that I walk, feed, groom on my own. I love meeting new dogs, thanks to him and would love to care for your sweet fur baby. I currently have a very flexible full-time schedule that allows me to work from home when I need to. Therefore I can be available for some week-day walks, but always available for weekend walks and with advance notice available as well for day and night sitting. I have a patio with lots of toys that my dog enjoys and a really plush walking path I take him on that leads to a private dog park for the dogs to run around and play fetch!
