About: I’m an active and reliable dog walker/sitter with 5 years of experience. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of regular exercise, stimulation, and attentive care. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy keeping dogs happy, safe, and active. Hello! I provide reliable weekend dog walking and sitting services. With 5+ years of experience and an active lifestyle, I ensure pets get the care and exercise they need. I follow each pet’s routine closely, providing scheduled meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m active and make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, whether in my home or the client’s home.
About: I have most experience from younger furry friends, usually very hyper and have a lot of energy. I do an awesome job at making sure they get outside, get some air and be as happy as they can be! I love to connect with dog’s as they were just a huge part of my upbringing! I’m usually free most of the time, I only have college classes on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s! I can usually sit during all time of the day! My best approach is making sure your furry friend feels comfortable with me. Usually introducing myself and being silly with them as well as let them sniff me helps with that! I can easily solve any issues.

I prefer to work in the morning and afternoons. Latest 5pm I will ensure I treat your dog/cat as my own and protect it from other animals.

“Faye was simply amazing to work with . She loved on our dogs as if they were her own and she took great care of them while we were on a family vacation. Will be booking with her every vacation going forward!”
About: I have always had dogs and cats growing up and they were always apart of the family. I have dog sat and been a nanny for many years. I am currently a nanny but don’t work super long hours so I would love to dogsit/dog walk whenever I have the extra time on days I don’t work or after my short hours It is different with every person and their pet so I just follow whatever rules fit for them! I have had people that just want me to hangout with their dog in the home so they aren’t lonely or some people just like me to strictly walk their dog. Whatever you need and I’m there!

“Quynh did an amazing job taking care of our dogs during her drop-in visits. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and comfortable. Communication was great, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Quynh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! 🐾”
About: From a young age, I developed a deep love for animals through rescuing cats and dogs in need alongside my mother. This passion grew into a successful grooming and boarding business that my mother has operated for 16 years, consistently earning a 5-star ratings on Yelp.

I take pride in treating others with respect and bringing a high level of attention to detail, cleanliness, and care with everything I do. Whether it’s walking, entertaining, or providing specialized care for your pets, I’m always willing to go above and beyond to meet your needs. If you require additional assistance beyond pet care, please let me know as I’m always happy to help. With clear communication and extensive experience that goes beyond the average pet sitter, I strive to ensure your home and beloved fur babies are well cared for, leaving you with confidence and peace of mind. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns—I’m always here to assist!
About: I have had dogs and cats in my family home since I was a child. My mom and I provided fostering services and we took care of any needs the pets had. We had to deal with many emergency situations and we got very familiar with animals and what they need. I have also volunteered at the Humane Society and helped in any way that I could. I give my 100% to animals because they don't have a voice and they all deserve the best care! I treat the animals like I would like to be treated myself. I will always make sure to check on their needs and be very proactive. I have a dog friendly apartment community that is perfect for dog walking as well. I also have watched a lot of senior dogs, and I’m very familiar with giving them their medication and taking extra good care of them. I work from home full-time, so I am able to give your dogs the attention they need and take them out however often you would like. I am very good with animals and understanding what they need. I am extremely attentive and over protective and I am always monitoring my pets and others pets at all times. I just want to make sure they are happy and comfortable at all times. I truly believe in making the owner, feel confident and comfortable that they can enjoy their time away by knowing that their baby will have the best care.
“5 stars! Tingting & Willow were fabulous cat sitters. Excellent communication, paid attention to details, and sent pictures daily of Mary. I highly recommend them!”
About: I have lived with dogs for most of my life and absolutely treat them like family. I've worked professionally as a doggy daycare attendant, and I am a certified pet care technician. While I enjoyed my time in the dog daycare facilities, it made me sad to see the loud, rambunctious dogs get the most attention (since they needed the most supervision), while the shy or older dogs often did not get the attention they deserved. My own dog, Cannoli, is nearly 14 years old and has had two TPLO surgeries and now has arthritis and other age-related health issues. Her special needs made me realize that there should be a place for older dogs (or younger dogs with health concerns) to relax in peace without being stressed by high-energy dogs. I have a part-time job at a school, so I’ll be out of the house for 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon, Mon-Fri, but apart from that I will be at home with your pet. I have all school holidays off. Your pet will get 2-3 walks every day (or as needed), and as much yard time as they want. We have a fenced backyard with lush grass and a covered patio. Your dog will have a cozy home and a spacious backyard to relax and enjoy the outdoors. This is a single-story house in a residential neighborhood with a public park only half a mile away. Your dog will also be in the company of my elderly goldendoodle, Cannoli, a spayed female who is very friendly and loves other dogs. She has a comfy bed next to mine that she'd be happy to share with a friend.
“Jasmine cared for my Zoey so well and is professional. The check in reports were so thorough, it brought me comfort while being away. I came home to a happy and stress free pup, which is telling! All care instructions were followed and it shows. We will be booking with Jasmine again.”
About: My dog passed last April and I’m not quite ready to get another dog just yet. I’m ready to hang out with your dog, talk them on walks, throw the ball for them, and generally keep them happy while you’re busy! I’m a teacher, but I’m often home on Friday afternoons and weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific schedules with you. Reach out and let’s make it work. I live in a 1,600 square foot townhouse with access to a dog park, open grassy area, and a quiet neighborhood for nice long walks.
“Courtney was positively fantastic. We will absolutely be using her for all future pet sitting. She took excellent care of our 3 kitties and in my opinion went above and beyond. She always provided detailed reports and lots of pictures showing our babies having a great time with her. It really put our mind at ease since this is the first time we had someone other than family watch them. Thank you Courtney! Odibee, Cricket and Doug all say thank you too.”

Natasha did a great job with my boys! She gives you detailed updates and doesn’t hesitate to ask questions to make sure she gives them the best care. She pays attention to details and makes sure she gets to know the unique personality traits of each dog. The boys just love her! Thank you Natasha!
Desirea does a wonderful job taking care of my outdoor cat. She is flexible with my feeding setup and is always prompt and professional. When Desirea is caring for Shadow, I don't need to worry when I'm away, because I know he's well cared for. Thank you Desirea!
Duke did an amazing job in caring for our 3 dogs while we’re were gone. He prepared and asked excellent questions leading up to his visits as well as giving updates after each visit. We will continue using Dukes services, we highly recommend Duke for your petsitting needs. Thank you so much Duke!
Maggie is really great. She is very meticulous in her tasks. She is is very caring and understanding. One of our cats is very scared of new people. But Maggie really understood how to approach her and made her feel comfortable while she was hiding. She spent a lot of of time with all our cats and was very friendly with them. They like her a lot. During her visit, we had to change feeding instructions multiple times as one of the cats would eat the other cats' food and we tried different methods different days. Maggie was very understanding and made those new changes every day.
Kayla was AMAZING! If I could give her 10 stars I would. She cared for our senior dog and did a great job. She communicated with us each day on her visits and sent some photos that clearly showed what a great time our dog Ranger was having with her. I would HIGHLY recommend her if you are looking for someone to care for your pet!
Thao is absolutely fantastic! She followed all of my detailed instructions perfectly and was wonderful with my cat. I received consistent updates and lots of great photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Thao is reliable, communicative, and caring.
I absolutely adore Stephanie! She gives my fur baby the same amount of love and attention that I would. She communicates consistently and provides updates, along with adorable photos. We love Stephanie and will use her for all our dog sitter needs, for as long as she’ll have us ❤️🐶
Caroline was amazing with our pups! They loved her the second she came in the door. She also was super communicative, and on time to both visits we booked with her! We will absolutely be hiring her again. Thank you Caroline, Nori and Toby are excited to see you again soon!
Kathy did a wonderful job with drop-ins for our kitty. We received updates & plenty of photos. She took great care of our house and completed all tasks. Most importantly, our kitty seemed to like her and seemed very comfortable with Kathy from the beginning! Thank you!
This was our first time using Jessica for pet sitting, and we couldn’t be more pleased. She met with us about a week before our trip to go over everything. As I explained the details about feeding, litter, and playtime with our cat, Gidget, Jessica listened attentively and asked thoughtful questions. Once her visits began, she was prompt and communicated clearly throughout. She sent us plenty of photos, but more importantly, she truly engaged with Gidget. Our shy but sweet girl even let Jessica pick her up a few times and cuddle on the couch—something that rarely happens with new people. We had a few extra requests, like watering plants and bringing packages inside, and Jessica handled those with great communication and care. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Gidget was in great hands. When we came home, we weren’t greeted by a stressed-out kitty, but by a happy, content one. We’re so grateful for the care Jessica provided and would absolutely recommend her!
Faye was absolutely amazing! She did a fantastic job dropping in to feed and play with my kitties while I was away. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and went above and beyond by sending tons of adorable photos that clearly showed how happy and comfortable they were with her. Her communication was excellent, she kept me updated every step of the way, which gave me such peace of mind. You can truly tell how much she cares for animals. She’s incredibly kind, thoughtful, and reliable. I’m so grateful for such a wonderful first experience, and I’ll definitely be booking with Faye again!
