“Gabi’s services were 100% awesome. We have a quirky dog and she came over once a week for a few months before we left to get our dog comfortable with her. She kept us informed and went above and beyond to make us feel secure when leaving our home and pets in her care. She also kept our house as clean as we left it! Very diligent and respectful.”
“Ashley was wonderful. Our dog Mishka loved her and we were happy to know Mishka was in her own home and comfortable. We highly recommend Ashley.”
“Jennifer was amazing with our old boy! She provided thorough and timely updates, I never had to wonder how Pugsley was doing and if he was behaving. We came home to a tidy home and a very happy dog! We can’t wait to have the opportunity to work with Jennifer again.”
“We had Kaylee watch our two dogs while we were on vacation for a week. The communication, pictures, and constant updates put our minds at ease. You could tell that our dogs were loved and cared for. Whether you are out for multiple days, or just a drop in visit, Kaylee is your girl!”
“I had a business trip, and Ashley was able to stay and take care of my furbaby, Jojo. Ashley was kind, respectful, responsive and she and Jojo got along well! I definitely recommend Ashley for pet sitting and will likely ask for her help on future trips!”

About: I worked as a veterinarian for the past 5 years in Belarus. In April, I moved to the U.S. and am currently improving my English to get my diploma certified. I adore dogs—they make me happy, and I already miss interacting with them so much! I can walk your pets, play with them, feed them, and provide at-home treatments/medical care as prescribed by your veterinarian. I offer flexible pet care at your convenience — morning, afternoon, evening or night (advance notice required) . Services include walks, playtime and vet-approved treatments. I easily connect with dogs and cats of all temperaments. With patience and a gentle approach, I earn their trust and friendship, always prioritizing animal-friendly care.
“Carolyn is great! She clearly loves dogs and cats. We felt 100% comfortable leaving our dog and cat with her and having her in our home. She did a great job. Would highly recommend!”
“Ida stayed at our house and watched our dog and cat while we were gone for 9 days. We had a meet n greet beforehand so she could get to know the pets and it assured me that she was the right fit. She was great at giving me updates and letting me know how things were going at the house! We will definitely use her again for a long trip 😊 the house was clean when we returned home and the pets were happy!”
“Megan is an outstanding sitter! From the meet and greet, Maple and Cedar loved her! I am rebooking her already; I do not want my puppies to miss her! 🫶”
“Was so sweet with Pumpkin and kept me fully updated!”
“Debora was the best dog sitter for my dog Stark. We went on 5 day vacation to Cancun and she did an amazing job coming to the house and caring for Stark. I could tell from the start that Debora was responsible, caring and would be the perfect fit to watch Stark in our home while we were away. She even sent me clear updates along with photos and videos which were very comforting to me and my family seeing that Stark was doing really well and was happy. She did everything in her power to make sure Stark was safe, comfortable, and well cared for all around. I would recommend Debora to anyone looking for someone to care for their Dog or other pet.”
“Jenn was fantastic! I am quite nervous leaving our small dog, Odie but Jenn made me feel so comfortable sending constant updates and photos which made all the difference. Our flight was delayed getting home and Jenn was so flexible staying late into the night to be sure odie was not left alone! Our apartment was spotless and odie was happy as can be when we got home!”
“Daniela took such great care of our pups! This was our first time have a in-home sitter and she did not disappoint! I would highly recommend and will likely use her again!”
“Ravi was a perfect sitter! He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures updates of the dogs. They seemed to enjoy his company also based on how cuddly they seemed in the photos 😁. He also cared for the house well and it was tidy when we returned. Our flight was delayed and he was flexible with the end time, something that I know no sitter can guarantee but it was so appreciated! We would absolutely use Ravi again!”
“Julia is a fantastic dog sitter and loves dogs!! She sent us pictures and updates on Murphy throughout the weekend. Murphy loves walks, attention and playtime and Julia made sure Murphy got it all !!!”
“Anna stayed with my puppy who isn’t quite ready to stay home alone yet while we went out and did a great job. She is friendly, punctual, and receptive to all our puppy instructions including following his potty and nap schedule as well as working on training. From all them pics and videos she sent, it seems like my puppy had a lovely day with her!”

You are so responsible and caring! Thank you so much!!!
Heather did a great job dog sitting for Daniella. she was very patient and kept to her feeding schedule and also gave her so much extra care to make sure she felt secure and comfortable. she also took time to feed our outdoor cat even though that wasn’t requested. she also took great care of our house- bringing in packages and keeping everything tidy. I would highly recommend Heather and planning booking her for future vacations
