1. Kate W.
“Kate is by far the best pet sitter I have ever worked with! Over the years, I have entrusted my two cats who I love like children to her care many times and she always follows my instructions exactly, treats my kitties as if they were her own, and is an excellent communicator. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a responsible, loving caregiver for their fur babies. She will not disappoint.”

About: I’ve had a dog in my household since I was 10. Watched family and friends dog while they were away. Will send updated photos and messages throughout the day. Loving pet mom to a 5 year cat and a 3 year old dog. Well experienced and active. You get two people for the price of one to love your animal! I have a fully fenced in yard and parks near me. I’ve a cat and a female husky who loves all animals. Cuddles, love and walks are my specialties. Very flexible, as my husband and I watch your pets together.

14. Helena N.
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and now have a very particular (and very spoiled) cat of my own. I’m used to following detailed routines, giving meds when needed, and paying close attention to what helps each pet feel safe and at ease. I’ve looked after pets with all kinds of personalities—high energy, anxious, older, or just quirky. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and respectful of both your pet and your home. You’ll get updates while you’re away, and I’ll make sure your pet is well cared for and comfortable the whole time. My schedule is flexible, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, or evening check-ins, I can usually work around what your pet needs. I keep my calendar up to date and take on a manageable number of bookings so I can give each pet my full attention. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow any instructions you provide, feeding schedules, litter box care, medication, playtime, and anything else that’s part of their day. I’m respectful of your space, clean up after myself and your pet, and always make sure doors are locked and everything is as you left it. You’ll get updates after each visit so you know how things are going.
15. Lianna L.
“Lianna was wonderful! I knew my fur baby was being well taken care of. She knew I was anxious leaving my baby so she sent me multiple pictures of every outing so I could see how Tessie was? She was prompt, fed Tessie and made sure she took her medicine everyday for her chronic condition. I highly recommend Lianna if you are in need of pet sitter/walker. I have already booked her again for my next out of town trip when I cannot take my baby.”
16. Sabrina D.
“Sabrina was great with my dogs! Reliable, on time and was able to book a more last minute request. Will book again with her!”
17. Dominic C.
“Dom is a great man, with a huge heart. He has spent many hours with my mother's dog, Yellow lab/Great Dane, in a group environment and always handled her well. Ex-Military and with a bias for consistency, he is a diligent hard working individual.”
18. Blair W.
“Blair was always on time and trusted when caring for our cat, Marley. Marley does not warm up to most people and she was able to handle her with ease and confidence. There are very few people we trust to take care of our cat, and Blair was always willing to help!”
19. Leah P.
About: Since childhood, I have taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, parrots, and parakeets. In the past, I have taken care of senior dogs and dogs who suffer from anxiety. I know a lot about caring for pets and have a genuine passion for it! Depending on the day, I’ll have plenty of time to care for the pets I take in. I don’t have any pets at home and I would love to help someone else with theirs! Take your weekend getaway and book my services to ensure the best treatment possible for your fur babies!! I live in a nice residential neighborhood that is safe for the pets that I take in. My apartment is spacious and I have a deck right outside that I frequent during the day. I don’t mind spending extended amounts of time outside with pets. I live in a walkable area with a lot of parks, and can provide entertainment and exercise.
20. Marianne C.
