“Ozlo was a fantastic dog sitter and walker of my two dogs. I was especially impressed with the Rover cards, they had photos, detailed notes, and showed a map of where they walked. I have two medium sized dogs that love people (but also love to chase squirrels, cats, deer, etc) and Ozlo handled them wonderfully. Every visit was on time and the dogs got so excited for their daily walks. I will definitely book again, thank you so much Ozlo!”
“Michael is highly responsive, reliable, and a clear communicator. He’s gentle and caring with my 9-year-old, deaf (but energetic) cocker spaniel. I feel like we’re in good hands.”
About: Began cat and dog sitting as a teen and continue to this day for friends and family. I also cared for a high energy good boy for years and love keeping puppies of all kinds happy and healthy in the best ways for them My schedule is currently open while waiting to begin full time work at the end of the summer, very flexible! Getting out for daily walks is already part of my routine so would love to incorporate your pup into it! I have great situational awareness and will get used to your home and safety measures YOU prioritize for your pup and their individual needs. Any accommodations you require I will abide by to ensure the safety of your home and your dog
“Sarah was very accommodating to meet with and exchange keys. It was very easy to communicate with her and she responded in a timely manner. Millie loved hanging out with her!”
About: I have loved animals since I was a little kid, and I grew up surrounded by animals including a cat, two dogs, and a rabbit. As a teen, I was also a junior zookeeper for several years at my local wildlife refuge, helping to care for animals that couldn’t be released into the wild and also educating visitors on the importance of these animals and their natural habitats. For the last 10 years, I have had the pleasure of being the guardian of a sassy little tabby named Moon. I have also had the pleasure to housesit for some other furry friends when their humans were out of town. Currently have a pretty flexible schedule as long as I know a few days in advance what’s up 😊 Which is why I unfortunately can’t take same day bookings. At this time, I am unable to accommodate overnight housesitting requests where a pet cannot be left alone for at least 4 hours at a time. I am committed to making sure that your furry family members are safe and well cared for while they are with me. Please communicate any known issues to me (things your pet likes to chew that they shouldn’t, medications they take, behavior issues, for instance) and in turn I will do my absolute best to keep them safe and report any possible issues immediately.
“Berenice, thank you so much for the love and care you show Tan and us. We can enjoy our vacations knowing you are here to take such good care of our home and Tan! Have a great vacation, and see you soon. Tara and Craig.”
“Kaitlin is always the best! She has made our kitty feel comfortable and safe while we are out of town for the past two years now. We love her and will continue to have her as long as she will have us!”
“Ashley was kind and professional! She came to watch our pups due to a last minute cancellation from someone else. Couldn’t have been more grateful and appreciative of her!”
“Douglas was great. He took excellent care of our cat, feeding and playing with her and sending us lots of great pictures. He was also very communicative and accommodating; when our flight was delayed he stopped by our apartment an extra morning to feed her, which was much appreciated by us. We look forward to having Douglas cat-sit again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my families puppy and my own kitten for about 2 years now ! Ive taken care of other peoples dogs in the past as well! I’m efficient and competent. Im currently a college student, so I spend most of my time at home and just in general I’m a home body. So, I have enough time to care and tend to pets and their needs. I’m very attentive to my own cat and families dog. They both have feeding schedules and are potty trained. I’ve taken my time to make them good pets. I’ve showed the same amount of attention and affection to other peoples pets as well.
“Samantha is reliable and did a great job with my older cat. I was initially nervous about going out of town while my cat was on a medication, but Samantha handled it well, in addition to the normal food and water stuff.”
“Cecilia did a great job looking after my cat. She was communicative throughout and sent beautiful photos daily. Cecilia treated my cat not only with excellent care, but also with a love in my absence. I would definitely recommend her and will gladly hire her again.”
“Amber was wonderful with our cat, Luna, who needs twice-daily medication and an inhaler. She was prompt, attentive, and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat—highly recommend Amber!”
“Rachael was amazing with our cats. Lady is totally bonded with her, and she was incredibly patient and respectful of our shy cat, Ghost, who prefers to stay hidden. Rachael gave thoughtful, funny, and detailed updates that truly reassured us that our pets were happy and well cared for. She also took great care of our home, kept everything clean, and even handled things like kitty trash without us having to ask. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We absolutely trust her with our pets and highly recommend her.”
“I’ve used Julie a few times now and I can say with confidence that she is taking great care of my big crazy pup! I get the best photos that show me how much fun he is having when she visits him. I don’t trust too many people to have the skills needed to take care of our big guy, but Julie fits the bill! Thanks Julie for sending such fun pupdates!”

Calling Rachael a “pet sitter” doesn’t even begin to cover it. Of course she takes incredible care of my pets, but what really sets her apart is the care she puts into every single visit. Her report cards genuinely become a highlight of my day when I’m away. They’re hilarious, thoughtful, and full of personality, and the photos she sends absolutely melt my heart. I end up sharing them with friends and family because they’re just that good. Somehow she managed to make me feel guilty coming home because I’m pretty sure my cat Lady was having more fun with Rachael than she does with me. Between stroller adventures, birdwatching expeditions, story time, shoulder rides, and endless cuddles, Lady was living an objectively better social life than I was. And it’s not just the pets. Rachael takes amazing care of the home too. I always come back to a tidy house, clean dishes, scooped litter boxes, and dozens of thoughtful little touches that make returning from a trip so much easier. Frequent travel can be stressful, and being away from the animals I love is never easy. Rachael removes so much of that worry. If you’re someone who feels anxious about leaving your pets behind, know that they’ll be receiving extraordinary care, attention, enrichment, and love. In fact, there’s a very real chance they’ll be having such a great time they won’t miss you at all. 😂 We are incredibly lucky to have found her.
This is the second time Kaitlin has watched my two kitties, and I'll definitely be booking again if she's available during my next trip! Jiji and Luca always seem happy and relaxed during her visits. Her being there and spending time with them seems to reduce the amount of stress they feel about me being gone, which is honestly invaluable. I also appreciate her ability to follow care instructions and keep me updated on what's going on with my babies through pictures and short messages. Would definitely recommend!
Brynn was super responsive and wonderful with our cat Moon! I love getting the daily updates and photos. As a nervous traveler when having to leave our cat alone, it made me feel much better to receive the daily updates. Brynn also watered plants, played with Moon daily, and took her outside. It made me feel much more comfortable to have someone caring for Moon!
It means a lot to me that Kyle and his wife were able to bond with my cats Scout and Moose so well. When I returned home after a 6 day trip my house was so clean and tidy and I really appreciated that. Scout and Moose were happy and healthy and that’s the most important . It shows that Kyle spent quality time. Kyle communicated regularly and sent the most excellent photos daily. I will certainly be in touch for future visits . 5 star
I'm so glad we found Samantha! She obviously loves animals and was very good with our cats. One of our cats is very timid and hides from strangers but Samantha was able to bring her out and make her feel comfortable enough to be petted and brushed! She sent great pictures of both kitties everyday and of course took care of the basics, food, water and litter boxes. We definitely hope to hire Samantha again as we can relax on vacation when leaving our kitties with her. Thanks Samantha!
Emily took such great care of my 2 cats! One of my cats is a bit shy and takes time to warm up to strangers, but immediately was playing and cuddling with Emily. It made me feel so at peace knowing my babies were so safe and well taken care of while I was gone :)
Amanda is amazing as usual. This is our 7th or 8th time booking with her. She is always quick to respond to our requests, flexible and pays wonderful attention to our two cats. She plays with them, understands their personality differences, and she provides a detailed report each time of their behaviors and whether they are eating/drinking. She always sends multiple photos, too. Thank you Amanda! You’re a true gem.
Trey was genuine from the very start and took great care of my cats while I was away. He kept things clean, checked in, and made sure the cats were happy and comfortable the whole time. I could tell they were well cared for when I got home. I highly recommend Trey to anyone looking for someone dependable, kind, and easy to work with. I’ll definitely be booking with him again.
