We’ve used Jose to check in on our sweet old kitty while we’ve gone out of town. She is on two different meds, and he’s been very comfortable giving them nightly. He is a fantastic communicator, always prompt, and unquestionably reliable. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone leaving their pet at home without any hesitation!

Ange was amazing. She looked after my two kitties while I was traveling. Every day, she dropped by for 30 minutes, providing the kitties with wet food, handling their litter boxes, giving them company, etc. She sends amazing picture and written updates—reading her updates was one of the highlights of my day while traveling. She is super accommodating and follows instructions very accurately. I totally trusted her and will use her again and would recommend her. The only minor downside is that she sometimes had to miss the regular schedule and come a bit later. It’s not a big deal, but I feel having an exact schedule could be more comforting for the cats. But again, this is a small thing and not a big deal.

Katherine was genuinely kind with my cat such that my cat became friend with her so quickly and completely. Also, Katherine followed my instructions accurately which made me confident that my cat had a great visit.

About: Hey there – my name is Nancy, and I’ve taken care of dogs the majority of my life. Starting with my childhood dog, Bandit, a mixed Shepard. As an adult I had a pit bull/boxer mix, Vedder. I had Vedder for 12 years. After Vedder, I had a beagle/boxer mix, Killian. I currently do not have a dog of my own. This gives me plenty of time to take care of your dog I am an experienced sitter, and did walker who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I’m currently not working. This gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet. I’m available both days and nights to watch, walk or play with your dog. To ensure the safety and well-being of pets under my care, I would first familiarize myself with each pet’s specific needs, behaviors, and any medical conditions. This includes understanding their diet, exercise routine, allergies, or medications they may be on. During walks, I would keep them on a leash at all times. Moreover, for both walks and sitting sessions, I’d maintain regular communication with the pet owners by providing updates and promptly reporting any unusual behavior. Maintaining vigilance, open communication, and being prepared for unexpected situations are crucial aspects of ensuring the safety and well-being of pets under my care. I am not a certified dog trainer, but I did successfully train my pit bull/boxer, Vedder, and my beagle/boxer, Killian. When you board your dog with me, you can expect a quality stay. Your dog will not only be well looked after, they will go on some cool walking adventures. I’m located near three beaches, and three parks. One of the parks has a bike/walking path. I keep the owner updated with pics and text. I also use a walking app that shows where we walked, how far we walked and how long we walked. When you leave your dog in my care, you can enjoy your vacation knowing that your dog is also having fun.

We recently adopted a kitten who needed human socialization. We had Dunks on a good trajectory and Dani did a great job while we were on our trip. She also helped Logan, our older cat, feel like he was still important too! We came home to two incredibly happy cats!

Tommy was wonderful with our two cats. They were especially patient with our elderly cat who needed more time to eat. They took their time feeding and playing with the cats, made sure the doors were locked, and were kind enough to bring in any packages that were delivered when we were gone. Would definitely contact again next time we need a sitter.

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I turned 15! I have experience caring for my own animals, alongside those of neighbors, friends and family members. I have experience in caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets. I will ensure that your dog’s needs are met while you are gone. I am a super detailed oriented person; therefore, if your dog has special needs I am more than open to learning and following their routine. I have open availability between 06/16/26-07/12/26. I am mostly available in the mornings, mid-day/afternoon. However, I am willing to work with your schedule and pups needs in mind! :) I plan on caring for pets in one’s home depending on the clients preferences. If your pet seems to have made a small mess while I am there, I will always cleanup after them. Additionally, if clients do not allow their pets to enter a certain space within the home, I will abide by that as well. Your space, your rules :)

Katherine was attentive, communicative and overall very experienced with animals! She sent pictures and followed all our directions. She even went above and beyond by leaving ice cubes in our cats’ water because it was a hot day - such a nice touch. We have a super shy cat who usually doesn’t come out of hiding for strangers but he was out and about with Katherine! Will be hiring her again.

Leonardo took wonderful care of my two senior cats, including one that requires medication twice a day, while I was gone for the weekend. They were clearly well tended to when I came home. He was very communicative and lovely to work with. I would definitely choose Leonardo again and recommend others to do the same!

I needed last-minute care for my dogs, and they were incredibly helpful and responsive. Meaghan communicated well throughout the visit, and sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Most importantly, my dogs were comfortable with her right away, and it was clear they were well cared for. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Gabriel was wonderful with my pups! He was very communicative and flexible with my whacky schedule, and he took the time to come over in advance to meet them first and introduce himself so they wouldn’t be meeting a strange for the first time during their drop in. I can’t recommend him highly enough!
