“Amazing sitter! Great communication and updates and really did a great job with my dog. She is personable, friendly and great with my mini bernadoodle house-sitting.”


About: What makes me special about taking care of any type of pet is that I give them my unconditional love, I dedicate myself to them and I make them feel at home, cozy and I give them the attention they need. This helps me because I am very dedicated to my routine. I get up early, eat healthy and exercise. Just as I am dedicated to my daily routine, I am also dedicated to the animals that I take care of and I dedicate myself to them. I have neighbors with very friendly animals. I also provide them with a clean and hygienic area, take them for a walk, play with them and give them my dedication, time and love.

“Hannah was a great pet and house sitter. Very communicative and responsible during her stay. She sent plenty of updates and photos and made sure our dog was well loved in our absence.”


About: *I can do doggy daycare for multiple pets ONLY IF they are from the same family.* For the past 3 years, I've dog sat for small, medium, and larger dogs, and both older, younger, hyper-active and hyper-dormant animals! I love dogs and cats of all ages and all levels of trusting. I have experience walking dogs, watching animals overnight, and recognizing signs of either sickness or a change in behavior. I also have experience with reading animal emotions, and this has always helped me to get along well with the pets I'm sitting to make sure I don't overstimulate them or make them feel scared! I'm available all day on every weekday and almost all day on the weekends! I typically am only doing homework in the afternoons, and I normally go to the cat cafe to study, as I love to be around animals when I'm doing work, coloring, or even just relaxing because it brings me comfort. In my house, I have my own room with a shared living space, which is quite spacious, and I have fenced yard which is well-kept and trimmed regularly. In my home, I care for pets who like to roam by letting them roam outside or in my room. I also set up a separate area in the room which the animal has to themselves, so they have a reference place for relaxing, sitting down, and food and water if they don't want to chill with me on my bed/ get my attention all the time. In the client's home, I would want the animal to feel as comfortable as possible, so making sure the animal can go where they want to, and allow them to guide me where they want to go. Regardless of the environment, I will always place myself where the animal is, so if they want to go outside, I'll move my things outside until they want to go back inside; I don't want them to feel confined! I will allow a pet on my bed, but it depends honestly on how much they shed because then that makes my life a bit harder.

“What an amazing person !! My pups are so tired , Dalia played with them and kept them so busy !! They were so happy and im so happy !! Thank you Dalilia”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my whole life - 28 years at this point. Ive had about 10 dogs throughout my life and have always helped with taking care of them. I’ve also helped train, walk, bathe, and groom dogs of friends and family. I am super comfortable with all types of dogs. I am very good at sensing animal behavior- sensing their body language and knowing how to alleviate any type of anxiety or reactivity, as well as working with them to build their confidence. I currently work part time locally, and part time at home so my availability is very flexible. I can be available at any time including weekends & holidays with notice. At home I have a nice size backyard that is fenced in with two dogs as well. I have a lot of toys to keep them entertained. At clients home I am very engaged. I can help with training and/or feeding your dogs, and whatever else may be needed. I have a very calm energy which is helps with building dogs’ trusts.

“Jacqueline was great!!! It was my first time leaving my baby and she made me feel so comfortable and sent me pics and updates throughout the day.”



“Oswald was so incredibly helpful to me and my dog, Bear! Since Bear has mobility challenges, I enrolled him in rehab for physical therapy. Not only did Oswald help me with the lifting and carrying of Bear, he even generously drove us to and from the rehab center. His time, care, and attention meant a lot to me and is deeply appreciated. Thank you so much!”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 8. Growing up, my mom did dog sitting and walking and I always came to help her take care of them so I could learn how to properly take care of them and others pets. As I got older I started walking dogs for clients myself around my town. I learned organization and listening skills while helping with pet care my whole life. I learned how to properly listen to the owners instructions, observe the dogs behavior to know what they are feeling and what they are comfortable with, and being able to work with dogs of different breeds, ages, and sizes. In addition to dogs, I have a cat of my own and have taken care of clients cats in their homes. I’m currently a student at Pace University so I can walk dogs in between, before, or after my classes. I have a cat of my own that adore taking care of, and help out with walking and taking care of dogs my mom is sitting around the house. I like to get to know the dog and walk them areas they are familiar with to keep them as comfortable as possible with me and their surroundings. I only use whatever type of leash, collar, or harness the owner provides me so I know that’s what the dog is comfortable with.

About: Being a dog owner of 15 years, while having many other wonderful pets I have always been around animals. Whether it is my own or my relatives pets and my friends pets as well. I always had an inclination to want to help and care for their animals if they ever needed help because I understand that they are family to us and I am someone who will care for your animal as if it were my very own. I work full time. I get back from work usually between 4:15pm and 4:45pm. But that doesn’t mean I won’t take the time out of my day to take great care of your pets! I am available Monday-Friday 5pm and 10pm. Saturdays 11am-5pm Sundays 10pm-6pm I value respecting one’s pet or pets as if they are family. I will treat your pet/s with respect, love, and care. I will do exactly the same In regards to respecting your home, belongings and privacy.

“Michele did a very nice job. She was punctual and polite and kept me informed with texts and pictures the whole time she was sitting with our dogs.”


“Ali went beyond our expectations as a sitter. She was wonderful and we are so grateful she was able to stay with our pups over the Thanksgiving holiday. Our pups were in great spirits upon our return and our home was looking great. I would strongly recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking again! Thank you Ali!!”


About: I have 4 cats. I have lived with cats most of my life and I have taken care of them for over 15 years. I am also a dog lover. I have cared for multiple cats for a rescue at Petco. Friends, neighbors and family have relied on me to care for their pets as well, mostly cats. I am currently working in the dental field and I have time for my passion of taking care of pets, especially cats. I have little restrictions, as I am not married and have no children, however, I do have 4 cats of my own. I would prefer to take care of pets at the client's home, as I have 4 cats that live with me in my lovely home.

“Claudia W did a great job !!! I was very happy :) Piper was so well taken care of 😃 thank you so very much ... I highly recommend her”


“Paola was amazing and did everything she could to make me feel comfortable about her watching our fur baby whiles we went away for 10 days for our destination wedding. Luna has separation anxiety and Paola did everything she could to help her with this. I would definitely use her again.”


About: I’ve loved animals ever since I was younger, especially dogs! I have lots of experience with puppies, bigger dogs, and older dogs too. I’ve grown up in a house full of dogs and I treat any dog I meet like it’s my own! I love walking, playing, and taking the best possible care of any dog I meet. I have a one year old golden doodle and because my work schedule is pretty flexible, I get to spend all my time with him. I usually work 4-6 hour shifts and it’s pretty easy to make sure that works with my pet sitting schedule as well! Safety is an extremely important factor especially for dogs being introduced to a new person. I always do my best to be alert, have patience, and kindness when dealing with any kind of dog!

She went above and beyond; sending regular updates, adorable photos, and making sure all routines were followed exactly as requested, and even asking specifics about things I hadn't thought about that could affect my dog.
