“Jamie was wonderful! Her communication was excellent, she sent plenty of photos and updates throughout the day. My dogs came home so happy and tired, I know they had such a fun time.”


“Lindsay was awesome. I needed a last minute sitter for my dog for a few hours and Lindsay responded very quickly. Our dog was instantly comfortable with Lindsay and appeared to have a great time playing with the other dogs. Would highly recommend! Thanks Lindsay!”


“Jackson’s stay with Chris seemed to be a good fit. Chris reported he was a little anxious at first with the other (small) dogs but adapted after a little while. Chris had the ability to separate the dogs if needed. We feel like Chris did a good job of helping Jackson through this experience.”

Highly recommend and if we’re ever in the area again we will book again!”

About: I got my first baby when I was around 9 years old. Pets are BKA best friends! I believe you get the love that you give when it comes to our pets! I’m extremely flexible! I welcome anyone needing flexibility or long-term set schedules! I am willing to work out something any day of the week Sunday to Saturday! I live in a great area to take daily walks. I have children who have more than enough love to go around to make any and all pets feel loved and welcome. I do a lot of traveling and love to pet sit in new cities! I’ll be in Nyc this Holiday season for the third time. My schedule is very flexible! I can work something out any time or day of the week. I have plenty of time to pet sit, I love doing it! I care for pets depending on what the client prefers/ what their routine is. At home, I have children with plenty of love to go around.

About: I grew up with animals- my dad raised and bred dogs professionally, and my brother and I helped by taking care of puppies. We also had our house dog and I had cats. Since then, I have raised many dogs, cats, and bunnies. Currently my husband and I live by ourselves and travel a lot so we do not have our own pets, but I miss having animals around and would enjoy helping take care of others’ pets. We have a calm, clean, and happy home. We love animals so much, we are both vegan as well. Your pet will be in the best care! I work from home primarily, sometimes teaching yoga classes in the public space. I also do massage nearby occasionally. My husband is home most of the time as well. We care for pets just as we would our own. We walk regularly and live near a large park and river walk. We are very well organized, and have also taken care of our many children throughout our lives!

About: I have been training and caring for dogs for 14 years. I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant and Professional Service, Therapy, and Pet Dog Trainer. I own All About Dogs Training. I train and board dogs out of my home. I have an extremely flexible schedule, so I would be available for all of your pet’s needs at anytime! I live on a 0.5acre lot with a fenced in yard. I have 5 personal dogs who love to play with other dogs of all sizes! I do crate all the dogs in my care overnight and anytime I leave my house.

About: As a big animal lover I’ve always sought ways to spend more time with them in whatever ways I could - be that pet-sitting for friends and family, helping to exercise friend’s dogs when they were busy, to volunteering for the last 12 years at a therapeutic horseback-riding facility. In that time I’ve dedicated to learning as much as I could about dogs, cats, and horses and how to care for and teach them so you can feel secure that your pet will be treated with the utmost kindness, respect, and love, with some dashes of training and fun mixed in. Need someone to care for your furry family member - look no further! I currently deliver packages for Amazon Flex and schedule my blocks day-of (usually only 2 hours or less before they start) so I’m always able to be available if need be. If in your home I can feed, water, walk, snuggle with, give medication, do basic training or exercise your dog and will do so in the most professional manner possible. If your dog is coming over to my home, I have a large, clear fenced in yard where my 11.5 month old Irish Setter has plenty of room to get her energy out daily so you can feel comfortable that your dogs would have ample space to wear themselves out and a super-friendly (and gentle) playmate to help in that endeavor. Afterwards I have a spare XL hard plastic crate if they need time and space to rest or if they are spending the night, along with plenty of fuzzy blankets and toys they can snuggle up with. Whatever it is your looking for, I’m happy to help make you and your dog’s lives happier, healthier and as stress-free as can be!

“Took good care of Harvey.”


About: Hello! I’m Angelica! I’m happy to meet you! Feel free to book me as I am willing to do almost anything to fulfill your pets needs and satisfy you as a customer. I do have experience as I have studied animal anatomy, am/have been a volunteer at near by animal rescues and shelters, and I have three dogs myself (two of which live with me and the third being a family dog)! I love animal and am always willing to learn something new and have plenty of references to help back up all this information! I prefer to do dog sitting in my home since I am able to have free access to emergency kits, constant walks and be able to do boarding at the same time as dog sitting. I have experienced in administering medications as my family dog has seizures and needs round the clock care. I will promise to shower your baby with attention and unconditional love! I am currently working 3rd shift and my partner works 1st. Due to this, there is always someone home with the pups who is able to take them out for potty breaks and spend time with them. I have a fenced in yard that is high enough to prevent any escape artists! I also have two friendly dogs who will be more than happy to run around with your pup and let off some energy!

About: Intuitive dog/cat mom, I will find a way to any canine heart. I grew up with dogs in our house and was taught to treat them no less than family members, having said that, I need to confess I am the worst person when it comes to disciplining a dog, but if you have some simple rules for your canine companion, I will follow them. My own puppy is seven years old and he is a spoiled little one, but is a gentle and sweet young fellow, his sister is a quiet long haired kitty. I love them both so much. I am an artist and a student at IUSB, but I have plenty of time between classes for long walks and other quality care your pets deserve. I live in a quiet neighborhood, overlooking a small pond, there is a fenced dog yard right outside my apartment building as well as many acres of green lawns to frolic upon.

“We were very pleased with the care our beagle received. Her back yard is fenced which allowed Spencer to be outside without a leash, which he loves. Will use her again, absolutely!”


About: Regardless of the size, breed, or age of your pet, I can promise we will be best friends by the end of our visit! I have taken care of just about every type of dog, from corgi puppies to 10 year old boxer-pit bull mixes. I grew up with two yellow labs, and know how to treat your four legged friend as an extension of my own family. I also volunteer for Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Paws, a service dog training organization. From the 2 years I have assisted this program, I have gained experience in fostering dogs of all ages, dog walking, general care, taking dogs to appointments, and potty training. I am a part-time student at UNC Chapel Hill, and do not currently work. I have one 2 hour class Monday-Friday, other than that I will have ample time throughout the day to care for your dog! I will walk/exercise your dog whenever necessary, have a large and easily accessed grass area within a 2 minute walk of my apartment, and have no other pets that could interfere with my ability to care for your dog. If your dog is active, I will happily play with and entertain it, I can also simply keep it company and work on school work. Plus, I’ll send lots of photos!

About: Hi! I’m Kelsey and I have a super pet-friendly studio for me and your favorite pup(s) in East Village. When I’m taking care of your cat or dog, my priority will always be to stay in touch, and I will be sure to send updates and accompanying photos of your pets adventures. Similarly, I will be sure to always be available if you need me! Taking your pets for walks and cuddling with your pets are a few of my favorite things. I’ll be sure to follow the schedule to which we agree. I possess over 10 years of pet sitting experience, and looking forward to many more!! Longer stays (7+ days) preferred! ***I will be updating my scheduling regularly and will try to respond to messages in under 2-3 hours.*** I have a very large pet friendly studio and work from home during the day! Your pups will love to stay with me! I will take your pup for neighborhood adventures every day of the week! My studio has AC and I live in my studio full-time. When not working at a restaurant in the evenings, I will be with your pup 24/7. Longer stays preferred (7+ days).


“Desmond was awesome. He was nice and reassuring, so I felt really comfortable leaving my dog with him and his family. His two dogs were super sweet and welcoming! I will definitely seek Desmond out again!”

Lourie C.
“I've known Lourie for over 4 years and she is one of the sweetest people I've known, since. She loves and cares for animals in a way that's unmatched. Whether it's volunteering her free time to take care of horses, or the care she gives for her dog, Artie, she really feels deeply for animals. Going great lengths to make sure any animal or person near her feels comfortable. That's why I feel this would be a really great fit for her. Anyone having the pleasure of leaving their dog with her will know their in great hands!”

Yuliya W.
“Some people are dog friendly other people are dog people. I've had dogs all of my adult life and I pride myself on being able to tell the difference. Julie Neva is a dog person dogs respond to her and she responds to them. Her Facebook posts are littered with pictures of her dog and it's rare to have a conversation with her that doesn't include a little conversation about our dogs much the same as most parents have updating each other about their children. I can only think of about a half a dozen people in my social network that I would feel comfortable looking after my dog without the lengthy ramp up and explanation that I would feel compelled to have with most people. Julie is one of them I highly recommend her for this kind of work.”


Katherine A.

“We were very pleased with the care our beagle received. Her back yard is fenced which allowed Spencer to be outside without a leash, which he loves. Will use her again, absolutely!”


Emma J.
“Emma is quite possibly the best pet-caregiver ever! She absolutely adores dogs and will love your fur-babies unconditionally. She volunteers with a service dog training organization, helping to house and watch dogs who will become future seeing-eye and service dogs. She has been trained for this program and knows how to adequately care for, transport, and deal with emergency pet situations. She is very active and loves going on runs, to the park, and playing outside - a dog's dream!”


Kelsey P.
“Ever since I have known Kelsey, she has been surrounded by dogs, cats and horses. Her family volunteered in a non- kill animal shelter and they fostered both dogs and cats for her entire childhood and into her adult years. She is comfortable with many breeds and knowledgeable about animal behavior. She did 4-H dog obedience and received grand champion with one of the foster dogs she cared for. She also worked at a vet office helping with the kennels and during the office visits. She spent her entire life riding and caring for horses on the family's property. She spent 10 years showing horses. Her love for animals is evident when she spends time with them, and they seem to instantly warm up to her. I highly recommend Kelsey to care for your animals.”
