Andrea is a gem. She is communicative, respectful, and left our home in excellent condition. My cats are everything to me and she took wonderful care of them while I was out of town for my birthday. She also left me a sweet card and note with an update. Will definitely book with her again.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I currently own an F2 Savannah cat, one of the most active, intelligent, and demanding exotic breeds, which has sharpened my ability to read animal behavior, establish routines, and provide both mental and physical stimulation for high-energy pets. I'm comfortable administering medications, managing feeding schedules, and handling pets that require extra patience or attention. My experience with an exotic breed means I'm unfazed by strong personalities, and I naturally create calm, structured environments that help animals feel secure. I treat every animal in my care the way I treat my own, with consistency, attention, and genuine affection. My flexible workday allows me to be present and fully available throughout the day, ensuring pets in my care are never left alone for long periods. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment at all times. Every animal in my care is supervised, secure, and treated with consistency, patience, and genuine attention.

Danielle did an absolutely incredible job taking care of my dog! I had her come and housesit for me since my dog definitely prefers to stay in her own space. Danielle's experience taking care of her own pets translated so well to taking care of my little one. She was able to follow very specific feeding instructions due to mine being such a picky eater. And Danielle was so communicative the entire time and was always sending me pictures and videos to let me know that my little one was doing great! I absolutely will be booking with Danielle again when I need to travel!

My wife and I couldn't be happier with Kathy. She took care of our 2 kittens when we were out of town. While we were gone I got plenty of pictures and updates on the kittens which is appreciated for our first time away from them. We will definitely be booking Kathy next time we are out of town and you should too!

Becky was fantastic! She house sat for us last minute and took great care of our husky while we went camping for a week. She gave us frequent photo updates and let us know if she had questions about anything. She even washed her sheets before she left! We would definitely ask her to watch the dog and house for us again.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over seven years through the Wag! platform in addition to friends and family’s pups, and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Over time, I’ve discovered that I truly excel with smaller, calmer, and more mellow dogs—and that’s where my focus is for Rover. I take a gentle, attentive approach to dog care, paying close attention to each dog’s comfort level, routine, and preferences. I’m especially mindful of dogs who thrive in quieter, low-stress environments and do best with patience and consistency. Whether it’s relaxed walks, cozy companionship, or simply maintaining their normal routine, my goal is always to create a safe, low-stress experience where dogs feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is my top priority. My schedule is flexible so I may step away for some dog walks, but I am mindful of my schedule and adjust taking additional walks accordingly. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously in both my home and my clients’ homes. I approach every pet with patience and respect, allowing them time to adjust and feel secure in a new environment or routine. In my home, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space that’s especially well-suited for smaller, mellow pets. I have a fully fenced yard, and all outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure safety at all times. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and potential hazards, and I create a quiet environment where pets can relax without unnecessary stress or overstimulation. I closely follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any specific care preferences shared by their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and attention as my own. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain consistency with the pet’s normal schedule, and ensure their environment remains safe, familiar, and comfortable. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or mood and communicate promptly with owners if anything seems out of the ordinary. Above all, I aim to build trust—both with pets and their people—by being reliable, observant, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s well-being.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I currently have 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including administering medications and injections when needed. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, litter box care, and giving pets plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. I always prioritize safety, patience, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I also enjoy sending regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and creating a calm, caring environment for them. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention, feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and updates throughout the day. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, routines, and any specific care requests from pet owners. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs to help reduce stress and keep them comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to calm seniors. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and can help with basic training like sit, paw, or stay. I’m patient, friendly, and love making every pup feel happy and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time with dogs. I can fit walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, adjusting to your dog’s energy and needs so they always feel cared for. I make sure dogs are always safe and comfortable. In my home, they can access almost every space, so they feel free and relaxed. I also have a small balcony on the first floor where they can get some fresh air safely. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep a close eye on them to make sure they feel secure and cared for.

About: Hi, my name is Lee and I’m a recent architecture college graduate in the midst of transitioning between school and the work world. Growing up, I cared for many species of animals such as cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and butterflies. I currently live with an orange tabby named Rosie who’s 10 and a little spicy. I have cared for and pet sat cats and dogs of friends and family for several years. I helped my sibling foster 4 kittens. I walked dogs ages two to fourteen and from 12lbs to 80lbs. No matter the size, I enjoy carrying for fur babies, while making sure each animal is comfortable, safe, and happy. My schedule is quite flexible - from morning to evenings - only working around personal projects and care. Drop-in visits toward the end of the evening are doable. I am generally available on weekends. I appreciate owners who provide detailed information on routines and care, so I can provide best for their pet as to ensure comfort and consistency. I have cared for cats and dogs from 5lbs to 80lbs and from elderly to energetic. I enjoy taking dogs out for regular walks, whether it’s just to get them out of the house or to tire them out. Usually I walk one pup at a time, but I have walked two medium size dogs (40-50lbs each) from the same household together. Some of the dogs I have cared for have been unfazed by people or other pets, while others have been well trained but anxious or potentially reactive to others dogs, requiring a soft muzzle. On overnights and drop-ins, the dogs I have cared for have had various diets, including raw food, kibble, and fruits/vegetables (as treats). I’ve had pets that required separate meals, unique rituals around meals, or specific supplements/pill medications at meals. Some households have asked I crate their dogs at night, while others have pups that want to be in whichever room I sleep.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years through family, friends, and neighbors, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all energy levels! I grew up with a hyper poodle-terrier mix, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs and active playtime. I also currently have a mellow, cuddly polydactyl Russian Blue cat, so I’m comfortable with both high-energy pets and calmer ones. As a law student, I take responsibility seriously and pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and detail-oriented. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and giving pets extra patience and attention when needed. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout the stay. I’m currently waiting to start my summer job in June, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available throughout the week for overnight stays, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and care needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I’ll make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive during walks and always respectful of my client’s homes and instructions.

Valentina house-sat my cats for two weeks, and she was absolutely wonderful from the moment we met. She was responsive, attentive to my cats’ needs, and consistently communicative with me throughout the stay. I noticed that both of my cats were happier and more relaxed than they’ve been with any previous sitter. She also took great care of my seedlings, which were thriving when I returned, and my home was in even better condition than when I left it. I would gladly work with her again.

Valentina was the best. We were really concern because we had never let our 9 year cat alone at night since his sister died 3 years ago. He also is a special needs cat, on 2 meds and only can eat rabbit or duck prescription food. We met Valentina to make sure it was a good fit. It was!! Tony liked her at once! Fast forward, Valentina went out of her way to take special care of Tony. She kept me posted. And the best part , is he didn’t cry when I got home and he was fine during nite by self! It was wonderful knowing I can finally go away and our little furball will be just fine without us Thank you Valentina!
