“Lucy was the perfect sitter for our 2.5 year old standard poodle Tulip. She provided the perfect balance of exercise, play, cuddles and mental stimulation. Lucy is obviously a gentle and caring animal lover and a complete professional to boot. We were given regular updates, photos and videos of our girl, making our trip away that much more enjoyable. Our home was also incredibly clean and neat when we returned, and she even left a heartwarming note for us! We hope to book Lucy’s service again very soon. Don’t hesitate to reach out to this fantastic sitter!”


“Kira was great with our puppy and two cats. She stayed at the house for 3 nights while we were away and was very clean and courteous. She asked great questions, and sent pictures too. We would love to have her back in the future.”


“Madalys was a great house-sitter for our 2 dogs for the day while we were out. Although she was a bit late - hadn't told us she would be using bus/Uber to get here - she and her 1 yr old daughter had a wonderful time playing with the dogs and keeping them engaged. She is a very sweet gal and we would use her again.”


“Our experience with Becca was fantastic! This was our first time having someone care for our pets in our home. We have an anxious young Cory who has experienced symptoms of trauma the past two times we boarded her and had to find a better way. Becca was very professional and easy to work with. She kept me updated with photos and texts while I was away. She was respectful of our home and she took care of a few extra things that came up while we were away. Upon our return, both dogs greeted us happily and our corgi carried on like it was just another day. I highly recommend Becca and look forward to booking her again!”


About: I‘ve had dogs and cats my entire life and hopefully forever. I currently have 3 adorable dogs and 2 amazing cats that are apart of my family. I have also cared for other pets in my experience working at a Veterinary Hospital and Boarding House. I worked in the boarding facility as well as the hospital so I’m no stranger to caring for cats and dogs (sometimes exotic animals). I also assisted the techs with various procedures. This means I can administer medication orally if it’s ever needed and I have the knowledge to be aware if something doesn’t seem right about your pet. I was additionally in charge of walking the dogs, even those in e-collars and paw protectors. I am working part-time as a photographer, but I will always have time for any animals! I enjoy early morning walks and afternoon play dates! My daytime schedule is between 7 am-10 pm Monday-Friday. I walk dogs usually between 9 am-9 pm to give myself enough time with each animal. When it comes to your pet, because I have schedule flexibility I’ll be able to drop in whenever it’s needed to make sure things are going smoothly while you’re away. I’ll be able to provide your pet with the snuggles and care that they need all the while keeping you updated with notes and photos so you feel confident and comfortable that your pets are being taken care of properly! My animals play daily and get loads of attention! I would treat your pets the same way. I don’t believe your pets are just pets. They’re apart of your family. All of the animals I’ve had have been treated the same way any one of my human family members are treated. Whatever is needed for them to be happy and content I will help provide.

“Great communication about the dogs, she asked good questions and jept in contact throughout. Sending photos and updates. As I haven't left my dogs before it helped me feel less anxious.”


“Camila was very communicative and lovey with our fur babies during her stay at our house. She gave constant updates and was very kind to our dog and cat.”


“I reached out to Emily after a friend recommended her, and I’m so glad I trusted my friend - Emily was highly communicative every day, clearly spent time with the animals, and very responsible! I recommend her highly! 😊”


“Comfortable leaving our pup on long trips! Thank you Katie for letting us feel comfortable leaving our pup on long trips in our home with you. We loved getting photos and knowing he was well exercised and loved.”


About: as a past general manager, I always treat each pet and home with the highest level of care and respect. I’ll follow your routines closely, update you with photos, and make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well-exercised while you’re away. You can count on me to be on time, communicative, and gentle with your pet every visit. I’m available full-time Monday through Friday for daily dog walks and drop-in visits. I recently transitioned out of a management role to focus on pet care, and I’m excited to dedicate my days to keeping your pets happy and active while you’re away. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets with love and consistency. I’m calm, reliable, and great with high-energy or shy dogs. I also have experience giving oral medications, following feeding routines, and handling senior pets with extra care.

“I was so impressed with Heather. She did a great job with my two furbabies (two small dogs). I was so nervous to leave them, but she took excellent care of them. She was commmunicative and responsive the entire stay. My younger dog can struggle to warm up to new people, but she was incredible with him- he clearly liked her a lot. Heather was also flexible about changing the booking dates around so that I could spend more time with my dying parent. It meant the world to me to be able to spend an extra day at home. She also kept the apartment clean and tidy and even washed the sheets for me. I was so grateful and appreciative for Heather’s help with my dogs while I was away. Would definitely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”

About: My family rescued our American Bulldog when I was in kindergarten, and he was my absolute best friend. I loved taking him on walks, playing with him in the yard, and just spending time sitting next to him. I absolutely love all animals, so I am so excited to take care of your pet! I work remotely Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and am available these days to work from your home to housesit/pet sit if needed!

“Naomi did an AMAZING job watching Lasha. She checked in regularly, called if she needed something (including asking permission to have someone visit the house to pick something up), and even left us the most delicious soup. The house was spotless when we returned and Lasha was tired from all the morning playtime he got before Naomi left. Would highly recommend!”


“Juliann was awesome!!! Can’t say enough good things about her and my dog adored her. Definitely recommend and will definitely be using her services again.”


About: I have had big st. bernard dogs since i was 5!! along with many other animals including cats, turtles, birds and my 3 bunnies i always loved animals and have a huge soft spot for them! I have a pretty flexible schedule with work being a hairdresser a few days a week, I now have 2 dogs and 3 bunnies I regularly take care of that are all happy and healthy:) I treat each animal with love and respect, making sure they are comfortable and happy! I have always had dogs and have taken care of them from a young age!!

“There are ZERO words that capture just how AMAZING Beth and her husband Mark are! We left our not-so-small pittie babies with them for 2 weeks while we traveled - not an easy feat trusting anyone for that long as I’m sure you can imagine. Nope! They put all concerns to ease - constant communication, so many pictures and videos, treated our babies just like their babies with massages and everything. Called immediately when there was a slight issue with Henry’s allergies and were ready to act as needed (thankfully it was nothing). PLUS they left our home in perfect, pristine condition. Do not look any further fellow pet owner! Book them. Just not so much that they are not available for our two. : ))”

“Dolores was awesome. She is responsible, reliable, respectful and honest. We left our home and our fur baby in her care and she sent updates, texts, pictures throughout the week. Highly recommend!!”


“Igor is great. Even when I spoke with Him about little things that I would like to see adjusted with service he was understanding and I believe will always do what is needed to please his customers and provide the best care for the animals”
