“That’s such a sweet detail — here’s the updated review with that added in: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She was absolutely wonderful with Ozzie, Molly, and Pita. Her calm, low-key energy was just what they needed. When I got home, everyone was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. She even took the time to run water for Pita, which he loves. It was such a thoughtful touch! It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. I’ll definitely be using her again.”
“Andrew was a lifesaver. I’m an anxious dog mom who was leaving for an international trip over Christmas and Andrew put my mind at ease. My dog has some stranger danger and it took some time to get her comfortable b it andrew was incredibly patient, kind, and full of knowledge re: dog behavior so the adjustment was quick and he got her comfortable in no time! I got plenty of pictures and updates and I know my pup had a great time. My home was left cleaner than it was when I left. THANK YOU, Andrew!!”
“Jen was an outstanding cat sitter. She accepted my last minute request and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my cat in her care. My cat requires multiple medications throughout the day, and she handled everything flawlessly. She was kind, attentive, and even took the initiative to research my cat’s condition to better understand his needs. Coming home to a clean house and litter box was so nice after a long day of travel. I couldn’t have asked for better care—highly recommended!”

“After a past experience with a less than stellar dog sitter, we were very concerned about leaving Tikka, our 15 year old Malti-poo for 12 days but in Sarah's care, she was absolutely fine! From the first meet and greet when Tikka, who is normally a bit aloof in the beginning, climbed onto the couch with Sarah I felt that she would be in good hands. Throughout our trip (starting before our plane even took off) Sarah emailed with updates and photos letting us know how our pup was doing. Quite a few of our neighbors, in our building and neighborhood, made a point of telling me that they had met Sarah, how much they liked her and that it was clear that Tikka was in good hands. The real proof of what good care Sarah took of Tikka was when we arrived home to find Tikka fast asleep on the couch, close to where Sarah was sitting. While happy to see us, Tikka was not frenetic or upset, as she sometimes gets when left alone even for just a few hours. We hung out and chatted with Sarah before she departed and Tikka happily climbed onto the back of the couch behind Sarahto rest. Clearly she both liked and trusted Sarah! We are thrilled that we found someone that both we and more importantly our dog, like and trust, for future dog sitting. We wholeheartedly recommend Sarah!”
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the combination of genuine love for animals, reliability, and attention to each dog’s unique needs. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, including those with special medical or behavioral needs. I go beyond basic pet care by offering extra services like daily walk routines, photo and video updates, and even basic training reinforcement when requested. I’m certified in pet first aid and CPR, which gives my clients peace of mind knowing their pets are in safe, capable hands. I’m known for being flexible, dependable, and calm in unexpected situations—qualities that help dogs feel secure and happy in my care. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an extended stay, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I work part-time and choose my days on and off, I work at Kidspeace as a mental health technician! I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate with yours! I take pride in providing reliable, compassionate care for pets both in my own home and in the homes of others. When caring for animals in my home, I ensure they have a clean, safe, and welcoming environment that mirrors the routine they’re used to—complete with regular feedings, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. When pet sitting in someone else’s home, I respect their space and closely follow all instructions regarding the pet’s care, including diet, medication, and behavior needs. I aim to maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress while keeping the home neat and secure. I also provide consistent updates, including photos and messages, to keep owners reassured while they’re away. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, love, and the highest level of care.
About: I have worked with dogs before. I have met and learned to handle aggressive, scared, young, or old dogs. Any dog of any breed I will love! I volunteer at a local rescue every day that I am available, not to mention I also have a ton of animals at my own house I care for! I grew up with cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, fish.. you name it! I have learned patience and love for animals. I currently care for my dogs, cats, snake, lizard, and chickens!
“Sofia was great! She was happy to hang out at our house with our puppy for the day and even brought her own puppy along to play after checking with us that that was okay (they were the same age!). She also took care of our cats.. She works in a vet office and clearly loves and is very comfortable with animals. Thanks, Sofia!”
“5 STARS!!!!! We absolutely love booking with Arianna, and our two dogs love her even more. We have so much peace of mind leaving them at home with her; we know they are in safe and incredibly capable hands. We were out of town for under two weeks, and knowing we had someone at home taking care of and loving our babies just like we would made our trip even better! We highly recommend booking Arianna to watch your fur babies, and we can't wait to book her again in the future!”
“Vincent was great. We have a large Golden that is strong and active but Vincent handled him well. He truly is a dog lover and Ollie was well taken care of. He stayed in our house overnight and was completely respectful. He texted us pics and updates and wasn't afraid to ask us a question if he was unsure of something. I would recommend him to anyone considering a caretaker for your dog!”
About: I have been raised with pets and animals all my life including puppies, dogs, seniors, kittens, cats, hamsters. I love all animals like they are my children and I have had a lot of fur babies growing up. I have trained puppies, trained kittens and have taken care of senior dogs and cats and even a pregnant mama cat. I currently have a cat daughter named nutmeg who we rescued from outside and she is my world. I taught her tricks like paw, roll over, and she even plays fetch! Pretty amazing! My dog Jax is my best friend and he is a rescue from an abusive home. He is pretty special and even suffers from a personal attachment issue. We work with him everyday on it and he has grown so much, he’s the best son any guy can ask for. We have a senior dog who’s still my puppy named thunder he is a lot older and requires a lot more attention, energy and medication. I have no problem making sure senior puppies get the love, care and affection they need too. Thunder has been with me since I have been 10 and I look at him like a brother who has been through a lot with me. In all, every single animal out there deserves a good sitter who loves to play, give them attention and a bunch of treats! Your babies will become my babies for the time I’m with them! I’m currently working full time but I have so much availability after 4pm so late evenings-nights would be perfect for me! Or if we can work out a schedule where I can go to work and come back! I’m open to anything! I get two days off randomly so I will do my best to work with any schedule. If you need someone at night into an early morning I’m your guy! All my pets have acres of land to run on! We live in an open area where our puppies are trained to stay within property just through command training. We live in a very safe home with so much love for our animals. We have lots and lots of toys and a lot of pet beds.

One of our cats Dobby can be a bit shy, but she won him over with her patience and her gentle approach with cats. My other cat Nova is more energetic and Kathy always sets aside time to play.

I highly recommend her!! Tara did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my fur baby. She was very respectful and gentle with my dog.
