As a new dog mom I was hesitant to leave my puppy with a sitter. But I am happy to say that Atticia made me feel very comfortable. She responded to messages in a timely manner and kept me informed with pictures and videos throughout his stay. I will definitely use her again.

About: I have never owned my own dog or cat (due to brothers allergies) so I grew up determined to find ways to hang out with other peoples! I’ve watched dogs and cats of all types/ages/personalities. I hope I get the chance to meet your furry friend! I’m currently unemployed, training for a Pilates instructor certification and so I have ample time to look after, feed, and play with the pets! I keep a very clean apartment, with an extra deep clean before pets arrive to ensure nothing is stepped on or eaten, I have ample space for the pet to have their own area or hang out with me and not feel cramped.

My pup has done daycare with Jason three times now and she runs up to his front door excited each time. Jason shares photos and videos each day and maps of their walks and bathroom breaks. He’s a great communicator and it’s so comforting to leave my (big) dog with him when I’m at work knowing she’s fully taken care of. Can’t recommend him enough!

Sadia was great our dog! He’s definitely on the younger / more active side and she did an amazing job handling his energy. I’ve tried lots of daycare places and it always seemed like he used to come home sad, but not after his visit with Sadia. Would recommend / rebook.

About: Hi, my name is Richard. I grew up taking care of my family’s pets, I love all types of animals but cats and dogs hold a special place in my heart and being around animals has always been second nature to me. I took a break from Rover this past year while I moved and focused on work, but I’m fully back now with an open to give your pets my full attention. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. That means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I believe each animal deserves their own personal care and routine, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. With me, your pet will always feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible career working from home. This means I’m always around to give pets the attention they need, whether that’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left waiting for care. I build my schedule around making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I will care for your pet like it is my own. Whether it is in my home or yours I will ensure that they are comfortable, well loved, fed and played with.

About: I bring a calm, reliable, and highly attentive approach to pet care—shaped not just by helping friends and neighbors, but by raising my own very happy, well-loved Goldendoodle. I understand firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m naturally detail-oriented, so I stick closely to routines, feeding schedules, and each pet’s unique personality. Whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or a more relaxed, steady presence, I adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for—and you get complete peace of mind while you’re away. Not currently working so available to look after 24/7 and at home most of the time. They’ll be with me a lot of the time! My chilled goldendoodle makes even the most nervous of dogs feel comfortable. I have an unfenced yard so always take the dogs out on the lead for a quick bathroom break back there when needed and then do 2-3 walks a day depending on the dogs needs/weather. I have a very dog friendly home with lots of space to play and then in the evenings it’s cuddles watching Netflix! They’re more than welcome on the bed but can also accommodate a crate if you’d prefer. My guest bathroom is all set up for doggy baths if you’d like a clean sparkly dog on your return :)

About: Hi There, Thanks for your interest in my services. I’m currently the dog dad of a Staffy/Husky mix named Ocean. She is a very good girl- dog and human lover at heart. Ocean is a very loyal companion and friend. I have grown up with pets in my home since a child and truly love all animals. I’m very familiar with animal handling and have worked with puppies, teens and seniors of both cats and dogs. When previously house sitting and boarding for neighbors and friends for the past 8 years I’ve learned that I am a true animal lover and protector with knowledgeable traits on body interpretation and breed familiarity. Home services are so important! Pets are happier and experience less stress when they are home. Diet and exercise routines are uninterrupted. Travel trauma for both owner and pet is eliminated— plus the guaranteed comfort and safety of your family members. I take pride and joy in caring for each and every client individually. I am a full time Pet Caretaker available for daily drop ins and house sittings— with due notice I am pretty flexible and understanding. During boarding or daycare pets will be taken out every 2 hours in groups that best fit their temperament and energy level. Please review 7 day cancellation policy details. A meet and greet will be required for a proper evaluation of your pet. All pets must be up to date on all vaccinations- with proof. Mandatory questionnaire must be filled out prior to scheduled meet and greets to give an accurate evaluation as well as getting every important detail about your pet. My home has a fenced in yard. All pets will be supervised 24/7. Must be crate trained or training. No aggression what so ever, this includes resource guarding of foods, toys, anything. Safety is the number 1 concern always. Pet CPR certified and insured.

About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine commitment to the well-being of every pet and my ability to adapt to their individual needs, treating them as if they were part of my own family. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs and cats. With puppies, I help reinforce basic training routines such as potty training, leash walking, and early obedience, always using patience and positive reinforcement. With senior pets, I am especially attentive to their pace, mobility, diet, and medication if needed, providing them with calm, consistent, and gentle care. In addition, I am very observant of animal behavior, which allows me to quickly notice any changes in their mood or health. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and accompanied at all times, while maintaining clear and consistent communication with their owners. More than just pet care, I offer trust, affection, and responsibility. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for pets during the day. I can easily adapt to each pet’s needs, whether it’s visits, walks, or in-home care. I am mainly available on weekdays and can also plan for weekends with advance notice. When caring for pets in my home or in the owner’s home, I make sure to carefully follow all instructions. I maintain their feeding, walking, and rest routines, and provide attention, affection, and a calm environment. I am very mindful of their safety, cleanliness, and well-being, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for at all times.

About: My name is Dave, A mobile gym for the dogs, and make sure they get more than enough exercise. Generally I do group sessions with pups and have them socialize/play.

After going over with the pet owners on their animal/s behaviors, I follow their guidelines on how to take care of the pet/s best. Going on walks, playing in parks, or just keeping the animals company in home.

Teddy lover staying with Lauren for day care! I will definitely be using her again on a regular basis for my long shifts. She always responded so quickly and had pictures of Teddy just hanging out or on their walks. I love that she is close to a park so Teddy can walk around some green space and not always on the busy hot city sidewalks. Thanks Lauren!

Kate is a great sitter and took great care of Charlie. She responded to a last minute request which really helped us out in a pinch. She took excellent care of Charlie, and was extra careful with him as he recovers from a knee injury that we’ve been dealing with. I wish all sitters were as responsive, thoughtful, and careful as Kate. 10/10, will rebook!

But with Bonnie, Rosie only took one day to settle and was so excited to go back and spend the day with her.
