About: I am a college student who majors in Biomedical Sciences and plans to attend veterinary school after graduation. I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs, since I was young, and have helped care for my own dog since childhood. My passion for animal care has been my motivation to pursue a future in veterinary medicine. Along with caring for my own dogs, I have had experience with dog sitting and dog walking. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities while making sure they are happy, safe, active, and well cared for. I am currently a college student home for summer break, and I am looking for part-time work. I am available almost every day until August 1st. I will be home again for Thanksgiving break, winter break, and spring break. When caring for pets in my client's home, I would follow the pet's normal routine and follow any additional instructions my client has left me while playing and caring for their pet.
“Omar was an amazing sitter for our pitbull Oz. He kept us updated throughout each day and followed our instructions to a tee. He also left our house clean and organized. I hope that we can book him again!”

“We're so grateful to Melissa for taking such good care of our wonderful but neurotic dog Birdie! Melissa is communicative, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. We would have her to sit for Birdie again anytime.”

“Ailish is a wonderful sitter!! She took excellent care of our two dogs and home. She is super nice, friendly, and easy to communicate with. I very highly recommend her and will have her sit for us again in the future.”

“Emily was great, we will definitely use her again! She was extremely communicative and great about making plans. She sent us lots of great photos and updates throughout our trip and took great care of our pup and our home!”

“Natalie is the absolute best for our dog. We went for a week long trip and Natalie stayed in our home. Let me start off by saying that we came back to the house even better than we left it. Natalie kept us up to date and treated Tia and our house as her own. She made sure to clean up any and all messes. And cleaned up a mess from Tia’s accident better than even we could. She even went through our trashes and washed her own sheets. Natalie will be our go-to sitter going forward and highly recommend her to all”


“Alex has stayed overnight in our home caring for our dog. He follows our instructions re her routine and leaves our home just as we left it. Dog dishes are washed and dried, bed is made. He sends pix and updates. We are thrilled to have found Alex.”

“Trin was great with my cat and dog! She really does love animals and took great care of my older cat and large dog and sent updates and photos every day. Highly recommend, wonderful pet sitter.”

“Andrew is a great dog sitter. He was very accommodating when our previous dog sitter cancelled on us. He is easy to communicate with and is great with dogs. He stayed at our place for a week and watched our dog that doesn't really like new people while we were traveling. We came back home to a happy puppy, it was nice to know that she was well taken care of. Highly recommend.”


About: I have helped take care of friends and families dogs/pets for about 5 years now. I have overnight sat for friends and took care of their dogs that required special feeding and medication instructions. I also helped train my own dog with stuff like sit and paw. I am currently working part-time in the hospital as an aide. I will not be working for most of the summer, so I will have plenty of time to check in on dogs or even stay over night at houses to pet sit. I have a fenced in yard and a long, strong lead if needed for dogs that can be escape artists. I also am strong enough to hold bigger dogs that can pull.
“Lauren was a wonderful house sitter! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and short summaries of what my pets were up to each day. I didn’t have to worry at all that my pets were well taken care of during my vacation! I came home to a clean house and happy animals. I would definitely book with Lauren again!”

“Pan had a fabulous time with James. James treated Pan with love and care as if he were his own pup. We received transparent and timely communication, he shared lots of great photos and even took Pan on some fun field trips during the week. Would absolutely book again!”

About: I’ve been walking my neighbor’s two dogs for the past 2 years, caring for them like they’re my own. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, and giving lots of love and attention. I’m reliable, patient, and always show up with a smile (and treats!). I’m a full-time student with a part-time job, so my days are structured—but I’ve built in plenty of flexibility for pet care! I schedule early morning and late evening slots for walks and check-ins, plus open windows during breaks for feeding, play, and cuddles. I’m committed to ensuring your pet gets consistent, loving care even on my busiest days. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I always make safety and comfort the top priorities. I follow the pet’s routine closely, keep a calm and clean environment, and make sure they always feel secure and loved. I also pay close attention to their behavior, so I can catch any signs of stress or discomfort early. You can count on me to treat your pet and your home with the same respect I give my own.
“Haowen was SUPER! He connected immediately with my dog Jordan, and she had a great time with him for the week. And he sent me great photos of them daily on their walks. He really is a wonderful photographer!! Would definitely work with him again.”

“Vivian was great. She took care of our dog and our son’s dog. They went for walks and chilled together for the evening while we were at an event. It was easy to enjoy knowing she was here with them.”

“Omar was so wonderful and professional with our senior cat and senior dog. He was respectful of our home while house sitting and left it in great condition! Omar is also genuinely a wonderful guy, super great to work with and trustworthy. We can’t wait to book him again!”

James stayed with our pup while we went away for a few days. He took fantastic care of our sweet girl. Giving her lots of walks and lots of attention. She was very well cared for while we were away. Our house was neat and tidy upon our return. We will defintely be reaching out to James the next time we need someone to look after our pup!

Liz is absolutely fantastic! She took such great care of Henry, and it was clear from the frequent updates and incredible pictures that he was having the best time. Liz’s communication made me feel completely at ease, and her updates showed just how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she walks. We came home to see Henry happy and relaxed, and I couldn’t ask for more. I Highly recommend Liz to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!
