“So Thankful for the fabulous care Rudy received! He is exhausted from all the fun he had with his new friends! I'm so glad I have such a wonderful home where Rudy can go when I am out of town. I only hope they are available in the future! I loved all the pictures of Rudy and his friends! Thanks!”
“My wife and I booked with Banafshe for a long weekend trip, after our go-to dog sitter was unavailable. We are happy we did. Before the sit, Banafshe was courteous and timely in replying to our handful of messages with questions. She was gracious enough to allow us to bring Huxley over for a quick meetup with her and her lovely family), before the scheduled stay. Banafshe followed up with us the day of to confirm what time we would be dropping Huxley off. Unexpectedly, our pup had a tooth pulled prior to the boarding, and Banafshe was very helpful in ensuring Huxley received his medication (in his food). Throughout the time of the boarding she provided thoughtful updates and photos and was very responsive. She checked in with us to confirm when we would be picking up Huxley and made sure his items we left with her, were in his bag. 10/10. We would trust her and her family with our furbaby again and I highly recommend. 🥰”
“I've used Kelleen many times and will continue to use her. She loves animals, and my Maltese mix, Bebe, loves to stay there. She is always very excited when I pull in front of Kelleen's home. I never worry about Bebe when I drop her off, and I know she is under excellent supervision. Kelleen is wonderful!!”
“I absolutely loved having my dog stay with Jenn and Ian! They were very communicative and quick to respond with any of my questions or concerns. Would definitely use them again and recommend to anyone I know.”

“Jonathan took excellent care of my dogs, Cookie and Cherry. Throughout the time they were with him, he sent me photos and updates, and my girls always looked so happy and comfortable. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Jonathan was attentive, responsible, and clearly very caring with them. I truly appreciate the great job he did, and I would definitely trust him again to look after Cookie and Cherry. Highly recommended!”
“Eric and Allison took such good care of Beau! Their choc lab Moose was the perfect companion for a weekend stay. I know by the pictures sent that Beau got plenty of love from the kids and he even went in the car to pick them up from school! They treated Beau like family and that means a lot to us and our comfort for leaving him for a weekend.”
“Brenda and her family just took care of our pup for 4 days. She was super reliable, did a great job of watching him and sent many daily pictures. made the trip so much more relaxed and she was terrific. definitely will use again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old. Growing up, I had pets of my own and also helped neighbors and friends by watching over their pets whenever they needed. Over the years, this naturally grew into something I truly enjoy and take pride in. Professionally, I’ve worked with the Wag! app for several years, where I built strong, trusted relationships with many pet owners. Because of the care and attention I provide, several owners have personally requested me again to walk or pet-sit their dogs, which means a lot to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own - making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely love, and I’m excited to continue providing reliable, attentive care for your pets. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I truly love doing. I’m currently in between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets I care for. I regularly provide walks, sittings, and drop-in visits for pet owners through the Wag! platform, so caring for animals is already a big part of my day-to-day life. When I’m not taking care of clients’ pets, I’m spending time with my own senior pup at home, who means the absolute world to me. Caring for a senior dog has taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Because pet care is already built into my routine, I’m able to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s going on walks, sticking to feeding schedules, playing, or simply providing companionship, I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. For me, this isn’t just something I do occasionally—it’s something that’s genuinely part of my everyday life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I always strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. I understand that pets are family, so I treat them with the same patience, attention, and kindness that I would give my own. In a client’s home, I make sure to maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I’m very respectful of the home and aim to keep everything clean, calm, and stress-free so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I also make sure to give plenty of affection, engagement, and updates so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. If a pet is in my home, I focus on creating a warm and relaxed environment where they feel safe and cared for. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment while also giving them space to settle in comfortably. I also have years of hands-on experience through the Wag! platform, where I’ve completed many walks and in-home sittings for different pet owners. In addition, I’ve cared for pets for family and friends over the years, which has helped me build a strong understanding of different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, safe, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can stay connected with your pet while you’re away.

James did a great job with my dog Stella while I had family in town. Stella had so much fun with James and Brody that she was always excited to see them again. He was flexible with all the last minute plans and kept me up to date with the fun they were having through the day. I always returned home to a happy and tired puppy, which was awesome!
She took such amazing care of my dog—She was genuinely happy and comfortable the entire time. You can tell she’s kind, loving, and truly cares about the pets she watches. I really appreciated all the pictures and videos she sent, which gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!
Super flexible and attentive… took Conan on several long walks with their dog Maverick, with whom Conan got along very well and had a weekend full of playing. Patient with Conan adapting to their environment and to their dog and very communicative… kept me posted about Conan and sent many photos. Thank you so much!
As always, another great stay with Mariia!! She is our go to for watching our little girl when we go out of town. Love knowing that our little one is always happy, taken care of, and well-loved. When she’s with Mariia, it’s one thing we don’t have to worry about when traveling. So nice!!
This was the first time leaving our 9 month old Beagle, so we were a little nervous. Cassandra was brilliant with him from the moment we met, to the updates we got when we were away to picking him up. He got plenty of walk and cuddles, and he truly settled into her home. Would not hesitate to use Cassandra again.
This was our first time ever using Rover, and I was honestly a little nervous leaving our 11-month-old mini Bernedoodle, Leo. Eric and Allison were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They sent pictures and updates every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Leo was not just being cared for — he was part of their family while we were away. He had the best time playing with Moose and his dog buddies, and he definitely misses the kiddos too! We came home to a happy, well-loved pup, and that means everything. We will 100% use Eric and Allison again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving sitters. 🐶💕
Brenda took great care of our pup, and he had a good time running around her beautiful yard with sweet Wrigley. We weren't worried at all about her ability to control him on walks, thanks to her ninja-level dog walking background .We look forward to having her host Satchmo again!
