“Chelsea is great to work with. Great communication and service! Love the pictures and updates we received from her during the visits. We look forward to working with her again soon :)”

“Jillian always takes such good care of our Peanut! She gives great updates and photos of our sweet girl when we are away and makes sure she is cared for, would recommend her highly to everyone!”


“Elizabeth is wonderful, reliable and loves Max. We are fortunate to have her take care of Max when we have trips or to drop in and ck in him. We feel relaxed knowing she will be there with Max.”

“Prompt, professional, a loving caregiver for our two cats. Mary asked insightful questions about their care and made sure she knew where treats, toys and other necessities were before we left. This is our first time having her sit and we’d love to invite her back”

About: I have always had a pet dog and ever since I was a teenager, I’d dog-sit for family and neighbors. Since college, I’ve been pet-sitting ajd dog walking on a more professional level. I’ve babysat for a few hours, simply for a walk, but have also watched multiple high energy dogs for up to two weeks. I’ve cared for dogs under a year old and up to 13 years old. I’ve always loved dogs and find them very easy to get along with and care for no matter their size, age, or personality. I have also cared for kittens a few weeks old, senior cats, administering medication orally, grooming them if they have long hair etc. Cats have a very different energy than dogs but I enjoy taking care of them just as much as dogs. I am currently in between jobs so I have a lot of free time to care for other dogs, whether it is a short walk or a multi-hour play date, etc. I always follow whatever guidance I am provided by pet parents. This means if you are only comfortable with your dog on a leash or lead while in your yard, I strictly follow that. If there are specific commands to use, certain behavior to watch out for or discourage, particular toys or activities they enjoy, I always follow what information I am given and am always open and communicate well about any issues or concerns that might arise on my end.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, bunnies, fish, and guinea pigs since around age 11. Neighbors and family trust me to walk, feed, cuddle and play with any fur babies. I am currently a full time college student on summer break until late August. I am currently working part-time at a job with flexible hours, so I am able to work around certain request times. I am comfortable cuddling and playing with your animals inside or outside the home! I will crate animals if requested. I am highly communicative and will send updates/pictures from the visit/sitting. The more the merrier!
“Rachael was great with Cali. She communicated incredibly well with me prior to, during, and after her visit with my puppy. I would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend her”


About: Been taking care of dogs for 6 years now. Have had experience training two of my own dogs and taking care of them/walking them on my own. I also work alongside with my father (also named Luis ) who has been doing dog boarding for about 2 years now. Me and my father are very used to the behavior of dogs and comfortable with dogs no matter the size or the breed of your dog. I have always had a strong love and a passion for animals, especially dogs I am currently a college student looking to make a little bit extra money by taking care of dogs. If I cannot look after the dog, my dad also takes care of dogs and is always available Me and my father don't live in a very busy neighborhood so you don't have to worry about your dog being unsafe. We have a relatively big house and also have a park very close to my house with a big open field and fence for the dogs to run around in were I can walk your dog and play with them to keep them busy without the risk of them getting hurt. I also have many toys for your dogs to play with if you would like for me to have them get a more fun experience instead of just walking them.

“Erin came and met my cats prior to starting. She was very responsive and friendly. She did great while we were away. She sent pictures and kept us updated everyday. Very reasonable and reliable! Would definitely recommend!!”

“Anna is absolutely amazing! I was so nervous to hire a “stranger” last minute for my trip but Anna made everything soooo stress free!!! She took perfect care of my pup, sent daily updates & was easily accessible via message! Anna is the best of the best!! ♥️♥️ so happy she is no longer a stranger !”


“We couldn't be happier with Hannah's service! She was incredibly personable, and our dog Milo instantly fell in love with her. He can't wait for her to come back! Hannah went above and beyond in caring for our senior Belgian Shepherd/Lab mix, who has a range of special needs. Her attention to detail and genuine compassion made us feel so at ease, knowing Milo was in such capable hands. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a top-notch pet sitter. She's simply amazing!”

Sammy watched my dog Brody for a week. She showed up each day on-time and provided pictures and texts. I really felt like she did a good job with him as he can be difficult to warm up to people when we aren’t there. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!
