“Katie did a great job with our two dogs, one which is a senior and needs a lot of help! She sent us plenty of pics and even brought in our mail while we were away. She did an excellent job!”


“Highly recommend Emily’s services!! She made our senior dog so comfortable during her 4 day in home pet sitting. We received daily updates & pictures, and we could tell how much our dog enjoyed spending time with her! It can be nerve wracking leaving a senior dog at home, but we were never worried about our dogs care and safety while we were gone and Emily was with him.”


“As always, Keisha did a wonderful job taking care of my fur babies while I was out of town! Came home to happy pets and a clean house after a long day of traveling.”


“Jessica was amazing! She communicated with us every day and sent us pictures/videos of the dogs, which my daughters really enjoyed. She took extra special care of our geriatric dog, making and feeding him human food, per our request. We will definitely be hiring Jessica again! Thank you for taking care of our fur babies! Brandy”



“Ashley was GREAT! I had a last minute trip pop up this weekend and she immediately responded to help me out. She even dropped what she was doing to come meet her that night! She was super responsive while I was away, and Brooklyn is worn out tonight- which I know is because she had so much fun! Thanks again, Ashley!”


“Rachel was great with our pup and cats, as always! While away we can feel confident the house and pets are being cared for and they all get lots of snuggles!”


“Jasmine was amazing! She was extremely communicative and professional. I would absolutely book Jasmine again. She sent tons of photos and updates and my pets loved her!”


“Jeanee was the most incredible dog sitter we have ever had. Lilly got to go on many adventures and walks. Once Lilly got to know Jeanne, she asked if Lilly could with on errands, Lilly loves car rides. I suggested if she wanted to take her home to introduce Lilly to her furbaby - she could give it a shot. Keeping in mind that Lilly is food & person possessive and can be aggressive with older dogs, but Jeanee knew exactly how to handle her. It worked out so well that Lilly stayed at her home the remaining 6 days! Her dog really enjoyed having another dog around. She took Lilly's bed, food, treats and favorite stuffie to her house, so Lilly felt right at home. It really helped Lilly, she wasn't constantly watching for us, missing us and she ate so well. We had constant communication and updates. Anytime I sent a message she responded very quickly. This was the most confident and secure we have ever felt on our vacation. It made for a very relaxing and fun vacation. Knowing we now have an incredible sitter for Lilly, we are looking to book future vacations. 100% recommend!! Your furbaby will be in incredible hands!!”


“Lily was fantastic with my animals! She got sick while I was gone, poor thing, but worked right through it, even cleaned the carpet when one of my babies threw up. I would definitely trust her with my animals and place and will be using her services in the future!”


“I loved Alyssa's help taking care of my dog Tango. She did everything I asked her to do. She was very responsible and my dog Tango loved her. During my trip, she sent me photos of Tango's walks with her in the park. 100% recommended.”


“Rebekah was very kind and gentle with our dog, Zoey. She kept her entertained and happy. She was very professional and communicated well, and also kept us updated with photos and texts. We felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with her.”


“Liz was wonderful with my cats and dog. She took great care of them. Her communication about how they were doing was detailed so we knew they were doing well and in great hands.”


“Tegra made me feel comfortable with leaving my senior pup. She provided photos and communicated with me when the many times I reached out to check in on Tedi. I came home to a happy pup!”


“Julia was amazing with our house full of critters!! She kept to their usual routine and took great care of our senior dog with special needs. I don’t think any of them missed us while we were gone! We will definitely use her for pet sitting again in the future!!”



“Kelsey was AMAZING ! She took such good care of our Sasha who had a very hard time with us leaving . She quickly warmed up to her . We felt such comfort knowing that she was safe and loved by her while we were gone !”


About: Hello! My name is Krystal and I am a dog lover who has taken care of dogs for 25+ years. I have a toy Aussiedoodle (Charley) and a mini Aussiedoodle (Adobo) of my own. They’re social boys who love company, but respect boundaries if their furry friends don’t want to play. I work from home and walk my dogs 2 times a day (or 1 long walk) and we also enjoy hiking or playing in the fenced-in backyard. Your furry friend will have activity, company, and love while under my care! Working from home full time gives me the flexibility to easily fit pet care into my day, allowing me to provide regular attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. Please feel free to send a message to check on my availability! I have a large fenced in yard and friendly dogs, Adobo and Charley, that can keep your furry friend company with play or lounging. I can crate if needed.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Since I was 10 years old, there’s always been a dog in the house, and I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is convincing my mom to let me adopt a stray I found outside my dad’s business—that dog became a beloved member of our family and solidified my bond with animals. I also have several years of professional experience working at Community Bark Dog Wash in Bayside as a dog bather, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This hands-on experience taught me how to read animals’ behavior, build trust, and handle everything from playful puppies to nervous seniors. I’ve also spent a lot of time with cats, thanks to friends and family, and I’m just as comfortable caring for them. What sets me apart is my active, patient, and attentive approach. I’m an athletic guy who loves getting outside for walks, runs, and playtime to keep pets happy and stimulated. At the same time, I take pride in being calm and patient, which helps me connect with animals, especially those who might be anxious or shy. As your pet’s caretaker, I’ll give them my full attention, keep them active, and make sure they feel loved and cared for, just like they’re part of the family. I’m currently working part time from home as a health and wellness coach, so with planning I can be free almost any day to care for your animals. I really enjoy working pet sitting into my schedule. Safety I prioritize safety by pet-proofing the environment, securing hazardous items, and supervising pets at all times. For walks or outdoor time, I ensure leashes are secure and pets are always in safe, pet-friendly areas. Trust Building trust is essential, both with pets and their owners. I take time to understand each pet's preferences, routines, and needs. I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates, photos, and reassurance that their pets are in good hands. Environment In my home, I provide a clean, cozy space with plenty of fresh water, toys, and comfortable areas for rest. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines and ensure pets feel secure by keeping familiar scents and surroundings intact. I also maintain a calm, positive demeanor to help pets feel at ease.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I possibly could remember. I’ve dealt with all ages including caring for my own pregnant dog and helping birth and care for the puppies. I currently have three large dogs that are adults and have cared for two of them since they were puppies. My third dog is a rescue who has been a part of my family since he was one. I have went through extensive training with my dogs and have been able to work with other pet parents to help train their dogs who are struggling with aggression and/or highly reactive dogs. I also work with senior dogs and any extra attention they may need as I have had my own senior dog. I am fully capable of working with any special needs dogs as well. Having 3 dogs fits info my schedule pretty normally and I have no issues doing so. I have a work from home job meaning I can be here to care for all the dogs needs at any time. Feeding, walking, playing, bathing (if need be), if dogs have any medication I can give it to them. Lots of snuggles as well!! Dogs will be in a safe separate area from my personal dogs.

About: Hi - I’m Lex and I am a school social worker. I enjoy traveling and know how hard it is to find someone you trust to keep your pet safe and healthy while you go on vacation and the reason I decided to become a pet sitter. I’ve always had pets growing up and can take your dog for a walk, clean your kitty litter box or just provide your pet company while you’re away. I am available during some weekends and weekdays. Since I am a school social worker, I have more open availability during the summer and additional time off during the holidays. I have an indoor gate and one friendly, shy cat that will keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: Hi! I’m a full-time teacher and lifelong dog caregiver — I’ve been raising and training dogs since I could walk. I currently care for my two Border Collie mixes, Lilo and Winter, both of whom I fully self-trained with love, consistency, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Over the years, I’ve rescued, rehomed, and rehabilitated dogs of all temperaments — from anxious pups to high-energy breeds. I bring calm, confident leadership, lots of patience, and a playful energy that dogs love. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good habits, or just making sure your pup feels loved and secure, I’ve got you covered. Your dog will be in the hands of someone who treats every animal like her own — with heart, respect, and skill. I work full time currently as a dance teacher. During summer I prefer to spend my time with babies of the fur kind and am available the vast majority of times. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment that mirrors their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully — from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes to playtime and cuddles — and I make sure each animal feels loved and secure while their people are away. I bring a nurturing, attentive presence that animals naturally respond to, especially those who may be anxious or high-energy. I’m also experienced in reinforcing positive behaviors and setting gentle boundaries when needed, thanks to years of self-training my own dogs and working with rescues. While I currently don’t host pets in my own home, I treat every visit or overnight stay as an opportunity to provide companionship, safety, and structure — with plenty of affection and photo updates to keep you in the loop!

17. Perseus M.

“As someone very nervous about leaving my cats while on vacation, I knew I needed to find someone I could trust. Perseus watched my three cats on short notice and took the time to understand their individual needs and very specific feeding schedules. One of my cats only eats one type of food and changes her mind every other day, another needs to eat behind a closed door so the others won't eat their food, and one of them is very shy around strangers and I was worried he wouldn't eat while I was gone, but Perseus was patient and made my scaredy-cat feel right at home. Upon my request, he agreed to send daily updates on the cats so I could be assured they were being well-cared for, and he was happy to confirm all the tedious things I asked for to make my cats as comfortable as possible in someone else's home. He was personable, kind, and patient with both me and my cats, and made me feel more comfortable with leaving my babies with a stranger! At the end of the week, he didn't feel like a stranger anymore but someone I could genuinely trust.”


18. Michelle M.
“Genuine care of animals and an ever loving affection to any of them. I would have her take care of my dog anytime. Pets are probably more family to her than some family.”
