“Lara cared for our dogs for the first time this weekend, and we were so impressed by her. She managed our 3 high-maintenance dogs without a problem and we came home to a happy and relaxed group! (And a very clean house). She will be our go-to sitter moving forward. Don’t hesitate to book her!”
“Donatella made me feel super comfortable and kept me updated and had open communication throughout her stay with our pup. Will definitely be working with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Great communication and she stayed at the house until we arrived home to give a full verbal report. She asked thoughtful questions and our puppies seemed to be happy when we got back. Would definitely recommend Ritaj!”
“Dori is amazing. She really cared about my dog. She gave me updates and pictures often and was just a pleasure to communicate with. I felt very comfortable having her take care of my baby and will be using her again in the future.”
“We were fortunate to have Jamie back for the second time and she did an amazing job taking care of the pups. We even added my son’s dog (with a ton of energy) and she handled them all perfectly. Thanks Jamie!!”
“**5 Stars – Excellent Caregiver!** We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received while we were away. Audrey took great care of our dog as if she were her own. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated with photos, and our dog looked so happy and well-taken care of when we returned. Our home was left spotless, and it was clear that Audrey treated our space with respect. We will definitely be booking with her again for future trips.”
“truly the best of the best!! so flexible with changing plans, excellent communication, above and beyond care. as a nervous dog mom i was able to go on my trip without a single worry. truly could not recommend enough!!!”
“Daisy is wonderful and took amazing care pampering my fur babies. They are healthy and happy and probably missing her! Followed their schedule and lovingly interacted with them. Send great pictures and eased my mind. I will use her services again and highly recommend her!”
“Jackie was amazing. She spent so much time with our dogs, walked them, played with them, and kept us updated. Sometime our older dog can be difficult but she did great with him. She also took great care of the house too! I will be using Jackie every time I can as a sitter and I highly recommend her!”
“Adam and Alexis were phenomenal. They took amazing care of our boys. Above and beyond. You can tell they are big animal lovers. Our puppy got sick and they fed him chicken and rice and helped him feel better. They walked our dogs and played with them and sent us so many photos while we were out of town. We will definitely be using them again!!”

I don’t provide overnight care in your home and can not stay at your home the entire time but I’m happy to come and go as needed!

“Anna was amazing, not only did she show up on time, but she sent me several check ins throughout the night. She made sure that I knew that my Furkid was happy and safe. She followed the directions I left for her to the T. Anna was extremely punctual and professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of pet sitting. She was the epitome of a perfect pet sitter. I will definitely book her again ❤️”
“Our flight got cancelled and Maria came to the rescue! One of our two dogs is very nervous and it is always scary for us to have someone walking into the home without us there. But because they know and love Maria, we knew that our dogs were in good hands when she stayed with them for a few hours when our trip home was delayed. How they react to her is a good indication of the care that she gives them.”
About: Growing up with pets—dogs, turtles, cats, chickens, and goldfish—I’ve developed a deep love for caring for animals. I’m currently caring for a senior Yorkie who is the most affectionate and gentlemanly dog I’ve ever known. He gets along wonderfully with all the neighborhood dogs, and I often help my neighbors by walking their dogs when needed. These experiences have inspired me to pursue dog sitting and walking, allowing me to share my passion for pet care with others. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to integrate pet care into my daily routine easily. I can provide consistent attention throughout the day, whether it's for walks, feeding, or playtime. When I'm not working, I love spending quality time walking and playing with my dog, so it's natural for me to offer the same level of care and engagement to other pets. My flexible schedule also means I can accommodate pets with specific routines, whether they need early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. Special Note for House Sitting: House sitting services are provided sunrise to sunset only (no overnight stays). This is a platform limitation, but I'm happy to discuss details to tailor to your pet's needs. During the stay, I may be in and out of the house depending on how long your pet can comfortably be left alone, as noted in their profile. I always plan my schedule around your pet's needs to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I provide care in the comfort of your fur baby's own home, ensuring they feel secure and at ease in their familiar surroundings. When booking with me, please share the following details about your home to help me provide the best care for your dog: 🏡Instructions for entering your home to reach your pet 🥣Location of food, treats, and water bowl 🌳Whether you have a yard or other outdoor areas for potty breaks 🐶Favorite walk route, or any no-go areas 🗒️Any house rules I should be aware of
“Angelina was an absolutely wonderful house sitter! She took care of our 3 cats and 1 dog for almost 2 weeks. She gave us updates throughout our trip. The pets seemed very well taken care of and they warmed up to Angelina very quickly. Our pets we happy, healthy, clean, and well fed when we got back from our trip. She gave our babies lots of attention, esp our dog who can be very hyperactive. She also went above and beyond for them when she stayed a while longer after her booked time to make sure they kids were taken care of until we got home even though she didn't need to! Angelina was also a wonderful house guest and kept the place cleaned and well maintained. Communication with her was great as we. We would absolutely love to work with Angelina in the future and we highly reccomend her!”
“We could not recommend Lindsay more highly! We left the country for nearly 2 weeks and Lindsey completely put our minds at ease that our boys (dog and 2 cats) were well cared for and loved on while we were gone. She sent us pictures daily, sometimes multiple times per day and was thorough in following all instructions. She was completely professional and great communicator. She even left us a sweet note welcoming us home, along with some pictures that she took of our boys. She is a true animal lover and we could tell she cared for our little guys as if they were her own. Thank you for everything Lindsey!”

Angelina was great. She was very attentive to our Milly. She was a great communicator and took the time to get to know what we needed from her while taking care of Milly. We will have her here again to watch Milly. She was very friendly and easy going. She made us feel very comfortable.
Daryll Ann J , and her husband are fantastic. They are fantastic with Madonna . I'm unfortunately not in such a good place or situation and I don't want to lose the place I am currently staying at due to Madonna's barking . I look forward to booking them hopefully twice a week while I'm at work or if I have unusual work schedule .
I am grateful to Victoria for her care of my dog Ella, a senior girl with multiple health issues requiring careful medication administration. She followed feeding and medication guidelines, got Ella to play, took her for daily walks and responded quickly when asked for updates. This morning, Ella went looking for her in the bedroom, even though I am here! I think that says it all.
This is our third time having Lindsey stay with our boys (dog and 2 cats). She has become our go to sitter and we highly recommend her. She puts us at ease with regular photos and always follows instructions. She loves on our boys as if they were her own. I cannot say enough good things about Lindsey and have already booked her again for our next trip!
Cristen was amazing! We tried out Cristen for the first time due to our current sitter canceling on us last minute. Cristen came to the rescue and our kids loved her! Received lots of updates and pictures and our kids seemed so happy when we returned home. Our home was kept clean and even our orange cat came out the same day who is usually shy of strangers. Would def recommend Cristen and will love to use her again!
We had an amazing experience with Angela. She was punctual, communicative, and patient with our more timid dog. She kept us informed throughout her time with our dogs, and we felt very confident and secure while she stayed with them. We came home to a wonderful surprise — Angela wrote us a sweet report card and gifted us a photo of our dogs that she captured. We give her our highest possible recommendation
Nadera took amazing care of our home and three pups!! They absolutely loved spending the week with her. She stayed in touch lightly, sending me fun pictures of the dogs doing activities while we were away, and she left our house spotless. We would love to have her back again soon! ❤️
We are so thankful we found Lara to watch our sweet girl Frannie while we were away! She is slow to warm up to new people and doesn’t make the best first impression, but Lara was extremely patient and gracious with her every step of the way. We were kept updated with photos and videos the entire time and were so happy to see that they bonded so well. Lara went out of her way taking Frannie on multiple walks per day, and she even took out our trash cans on trash day without us asking. We highly recommend her for all your pet care needs!
Sarah was absolutely incredible with my two boys Astro & Adonis while I was out on vacation for Thanksgiving. My dogs are both super reactive and need very specialized care and Sarah was so amazing at accommodating! I trusted her with walks and all care when she was house sitting. She even left such a nice gift when I came back home from my trip for me and the boys. I would definitely book with Sarah again, she was awesome!!
Daisy is wonderful and took amazing care pampering my fur babies. They are healthy and happy and probably missing her! Followed their schedule and lovingly interacted with them. Send great pictures and eased my mind. I will use her services again and highly recommend her!
