“Jessica was wonderful with my dog, Bailey. She followed the instructions I provided and gave Bailey the attention she needed. I felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care.”

“Aisaia comes often to check in on my dogs while I’m at work. He’s always reliable, on time, and spends a little extra time with my dogs. I would definitely recommend him and will continue to book with him!”

“Lola loves her visits from Cameron. It took no time for Lola to warm up to her the first day. Cameron is very friendly and made me feel comfortable right away. She’s had animals all her life and clearly understands dogs, and shared a lot of her knowledge. I’ve used her several times in our first week.”

“I realized that Dahn was the prefect person to take care of my geriatric Maltese mix as soon as I met her. Snowdrop was totally at ease with her from the get go. Snowdrop has renal failure and is blind so she needs additional tender loving care. Dahn took care of all her needs including diapering her and tending to her poopy accidents. She kept me posted with pictures and texts which I really appreciated - all of which helped me to be totally at ease during my recent trip. I highly recommend Dahn and I will definitely book with her again.”

“Karina is excellent. She went above and beyond taking care of Nikki during the drop in visits. We will definitely use Karina again to care for Nikki the next time we travel. I strongly recommend Karina.”

About: Hi! My name is Katharine, and I’m currently a social work student working toward my bachelor’s degree with a passion for helping others, which includes animals! I’ve always loved being around pets and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and caring to look after them. I’ve owned my dog for the past 10 years, which has given me hands-on experience with daily pet care, routines, exercise, and providing lots of love and attention. I also regularly dog sit and cat sit for my neighbors, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m currently a college student out for the summer, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have open availability 7 days a week. I’m able to be flexible with walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime to meet each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and any house rules or routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision while keeping the home clean and respectful. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.
About: Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets. I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.
“Moe has been so great for my pups. She stops in to let them out and play with them while I’m at work. She’s very communicative about her schedule and I get picture every time!”

“I cannot recommend Leah highly enough! Leaving my cat, Bailey, is always stressful, but Leah made it completely worry-free. I received daily updates and the cutest photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that Bailey wasn't just being fed, but was actually getting genuine affection and he loved every minute of it. I came home to a very happy, relaxed cat. I’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Katie is a kind sweet person who I trust to be in my home and to take care of my two precious fur babies. She arrived on time stayed the duration of the expected visit time and completed the tasks of which I requested upon scheduling this visit.”

About: I am an Animal Behavior student with professional experience in dog daycare, training, educational animal programs, and wildlife rehabilitation. I have hands-on experience working with dogs, cats, rabbits, small animals, reptiles, and rehabilitating wildlife in both professional and personal settings. Through my education and experience, I have developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language, allowing me to recognize signs of stress or discomfort and create a safe, calm, and positive environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. My schedule is very flexible, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I also work part-time in animal care, so my hours can occasionally vary, but I always do my best to accommodate different schedules and provide dependable, loving care for every pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I have experience working with animals in daycare, boarding, training, educational animal programs, and wildlife rehabilitation, so I understand how important patience, supervision, and routine are. I always respect owners’ instructions and work to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me.
About: I’m great with all kinds of dogs — active pups who love playtime outdoors and calm dogs who enjoy peaceful, relaxing moments. I adjust my care to fit their personality and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I am currently working full time Monday through Friday. Anytime outside of working hours I will be open and ready to provide care! Weekends and early morning I am also available. I keep each pet’s care as consistent as possible with their normal routine. I also make sure every dog gets extra attention so they always feel safe, happy, and comfortable.
About: I’ve been raised around dogs since I was an infant & they were puppies. Growing up, I was able to spend time & care for different types of dogs. I believe that with consistency, patience, and rewards (treats/toys), I would be able to train a puppy to do tricks & properly go to the potty! ☺️ I am a part-time healthcare worker that works 8 hours out of 3 days of the week, so with that being said, I would love to look after your pet on my days off! Your rules/requirements are mine as well. I’m not sure if anyone in my building is allergic to cats or dogs, but we could make some accommodations. If you would prefer care to be provided within your home, let’s discuss further on how you would like for me to look after your pet, and how to ensure that we are all comfortable and safe.
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! I also am available after 4pm during the week, and all day on the weekends to take care of your pet. I unfortunately am not allowed to have pets in my house. However, while at a client’s house, I love to spend time playing with the dogs outside for some exercise! For dogs that are less active, I enjoy spending time inside hanging out and playing with them and their toys.
“Esmeralda was FANTASTIC. My husband and I were out of the country for 5 days and we were in need of care for our English bulldog and senior French bulldog. Esmeralda did an outstanding job of communicating, providing gentle care, timely visits multiple times a day, doling out medications, keeping the house clean, sending follow up photos and more. I will absolutely be booking her again and would recommend her to anyone who needs professional and compassionate care for their pets.”

About: I’ve dog sat and walked for multiple families and cared for cats for 10+ years. I am looking to help local families with pet care I work fully remote and have a flexible schedule so I am able to assist in mornings, during the day, and evening regularly and consistently I have two cats at my apartment currently and have owned pets my entire life. For dogs or cats that I sit, I ensure a safe environment to meet every family’s needs
About: Growing up, dogs were always part of the family. My dad worked at an animal shelter and had a natural gift with animals that I watched and absorbed. When he passed in 2020, I inherited his two dogs and loved them until the end of their lives. I miss them every day. That loss is part of why I’m here. I know how special it is to form these bonds with animals, and how they keep us company through every quiet, mundane moment, not just the walks and the highlights. I’m highly attuned to what animals and people need, even when they can’t say so. It would be my honor to care for yours. Walking is a daily practice for me, and so is showing up fully for the people and animals in my life. Pet care isn’t a side thought, it’s something I genuinely look forward to.I’m Walks are my primary focus and genuine joy. For drop-ins I follow the pet’s established routine closely, keep things calm and consistent, and always leave the space as I found it. For house sitting I treat a client’s home with full respect, maintaining the pet’s normal schedule so they barely notice their person is gone.

“Jae is such a caring person. Our dogs needs were met with her warmth and understanding. We are so grateful to find someone locally who we can rely on to watch over our pets. Thank you!”

Sara is amazing. She followed my instructions and she kept in touch with me on how our old lady was doing. She used good judgment with regard to the poor air quality and heat by limiting the time our dog was out. She paid attention to our dog as well. I desperately wish she lived closer to us and am so thankful that she was able to come to our home. I highly recommend her and believe anyone who gets to have her take care of their pets is very lucky. She also has excellent work ethics.
We are so grateful we found Brittany a few days before our trip. She was so great with our 3 cats and took the time to really build a relationship with each of them. Her updates and photos were greatly appreciated and really ensured how well she took care of them. I will be booking with her again and again!

Sarah is the best! I have an older pup and an independent cat; right away she put my mind at ease as her experience and care for animals radiates. She communicated clearly and promptly with me from the pre-booking to after the visits. She followed every direction and went above and beyond. I loved her updates and photos; I appreciated her kindness and attention to details. My pets said they had an amazing time with her! I would recommend her and welcome her back any time.
I cannot recommend Leah highly enough! Leaving my cat, Bailey, is always stressful, but Leah made it completely worry-free. I received daily updates and the cutest photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that Bailey wasn't just being fed, but was actually getting genuine affection and he loved every minute of it. I came home to a very happy, relaxed cat. I’ll definitely be booking again!

I will absolutely be booking her again and would recommend her to anyone who needs professional and compassionate care for their pets.

Naomi is a fantastic pet sitter! She took care of my shy cat, Rio, and I was (literally) shocked to see photos/videos of her out and about and getting pets from Naomi! I felt at ease while traveling, knowing she was there for Rio and taking good care of her. I will absolutely be booking with Naomi again!
