“Avery is a great sitter. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and gave lots of love. I felt very comfortable with her caring for Tink while we were away and would absolutely hire her again.”

“Limari was absolutely amazing! She was always on time, followed every instruction perfectly, and often stayed one step ahead, which gave me such peace of mind. She took wonderful care of Pang Pang and my two cats, and it was clear they felt comfortable and well-loved in her care. I’m so grateful for her attention to detail, her reliability, and how smoothly everything went while I was away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”

“Emilie is the perfect sitter for my cat Bunny! I really wanted to find someone who Bunny felt comfortable with and who I could trust to look after her, and I am so, so glad I found Emilie. Emilie has the best energy and they are kind, attentive, and caring to both my cat and the space. Having someone I trust in my home to look after my cat as well as the peace of mind I felt while I was away is deeply invaluable to me. And I love that Bunny now has a new friend! I just got home and Bunny is so relaxed and calm- it just reaffirms that choosing Emilie was the right and best choice. Already booked them for another weekend!”

“Jessica is amazing!! She took such good care of my pup, sending frequent updates and tons of photos. Every step of the way she was professional, communicative and thorough, and she was super loving towards my little guy. I highly recommend her as a sitter. You can feel peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in good hands!”

“Matthew took amazing care of our pup when we were away for the weekend. She was so happy and calm when we came home, we could tell she had a great time with him. 100% recommend and we will be booking Matthew again in the future!”

“Jenna is extremely reliable and responsive. She took amazing care of my senior cat, Kobe, who has many special needs (including administering a kitty asthma inhaler) and is a semi-disabled kitty. When she visited, I could see how much she cared about ensuring Kobe would have the best support while I was out. She sent me daily detailed updates (with his cutest photos), and I was fully relaxed knowing he was in great hands. All photos I received showed Kobe looking comfortable and relaxed (even cuddling up on the couch). She's very organized and I even returned to a cleaner apartment than I had left. Thank you, Jenna!”

“Katherine was such a great help for us when we went to Japan. She provided many pictures and updates and took the puppies on many walks. I plan on booking her in the future.”

“First time having a new sitter take care of my pups in a very long time and we got so lucky with Kathleen! She took great care of both my dogs, administered meds, and provided regular updates that helped me also enjoy my time off. Absolutely recommend!”

“Laura did house-sitting and dog-sitting for me for 10 days and is 100% reliable, dependable and honest. She is an absolute dream to deal with, and follows directions perfectly, and goes above and beyond for her clients, I was impressed and truly grateful. She took care of my house for 10 days, watered my garden (lots of plants!), and took perfect care of my 2 senior dogs. She came twice a day, every day and stayed for hours, was consistent and reliable and didn't miss anything. My dogs loved her and she is very gentle and patient with them. Laura was also very good at sending photos and updates of my dogs every day, which was very appreciated. I highly recommend Laura for any of your pet sitting (or house sitting) needs and will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you Laura!”

About: If you’re looking for someone who absolutely adores animals AND is responsible/ reliable then I am your gal! I have a profound love and respect for any animal and would love to share my services/experience with you! I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was in diapers and have developed such a deep respect and love for any pet I’ve come across. I’ve had cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, you name it! I’ve raised the majority of them from their baby stage such as their puppy/kitten stage. I also have had the pleasure of giving them a beautiful life and led them into their senior stage. I also volunteer at cat shelters and have pet sat for friends and family members. I make it a priority to provide a safe and welcoming environment so any pet under my care can feel comfortable with me. I also love to play for whatever time your pet needs and give joy to every pet under my care. My past clients would describe me as very reliable, patient, warm, and very flexible and understanding of certain needs your pet may have. I understand every furry friend is unique and different from one another so any accommodation or request you may have, I am more than open to adjusting! I currently have three of my own. I have a husky, shih tzu and a Siamese cat! So I have a very broad experience with different sized pets and I’ve enjoyed every second of it. I have a very open and flexible schedule and I would love to provide my services to you! As I work with the local district, I have returned back to work for the fall semester. However, my work day ends at 3pm! So it still allows me to have a very open/flexible schedule. I can do weekdays after 3pm and weekends including holidays! I’m available from early noon to late at night. Weekends include anytime after 6pm. I have a gated porch with lots of room for play and a quiet calm neighborhood for long walks and quality time with your pet. I can also administer medication and crate or provide any instructions left by the owner.
About: With 20 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from dogs, cats, and small pets to horses and fish, I am passionate about providing safe and compassionate care. Having grown up on ranches and managed a pet store, I bring extensive knowledge, reliability, and a deep love for animals. Whether your pet loves to play or simply needs gentle care and attention while you’re away, you can rest easy knowing they’re in trustworthy hands. I’m excited to offer the level of dedication and affection your pets deserve! With my flexible schedule as a student, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet’s well-being. My availability allows me to provide attentive, personalized care that fits your pet’s needs, whether it’s daily playtime, regular feeding, exercise, or just extra companionship. I understand the importance of consistency and a steady routine for animals, and I’m committed to creating a comfortable, joyful environment for them. With my experience and love for animals, your pet will receive exceptional care and attention, helping them feel secure and happy while you’re away. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets in your home. I understand that pets thrive in familiar surroundings, so I take special care to maintain the routines they’re used to, whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, or daily walks. I also ensure your home is respected and secure, taking the same approach I would in my own space. Trust is key, and I work hard to build it by providing consistent, attentive care and open communication with you while you’re away. With my experience and dedication, you can feel confident that your pets are in safe, loving hands, surrounded by an environment they know and love.
“Sarah & David are super sweet and great housesitters. They took care of our fur babies for the weekend and sent photos with updates. They’re amazing and we will definitely be using them again!! Highly recommend!”

“Nataly helped us out at the last minute and was wonderful with the dogs! She is a great communicator and sent us multiple photos throughout her stay, house was very clean and dogs were napping when we came home. We hope she'll be able to help us out again in the future. Thanks Nataly!”

“Carrie is fantastic! Punctual, friendly, and kept us updated the entire time with great communication and attention to detail! Most importantly, she was so gentle with our senior dog, who took to her right away. Knowing that our sleepy senior is in such kind hands, brings a sense of calmness to our day. Will definitely book again!”

“Jenny was a terrific sitter for our dog Roy. He can be very standoff-ish and has separation anxiety, but Jenny took care of him so attentively even when he was a handful. She was incredibly thorough in sending us pictures and letting us know in detail what had gone on with Roy while we were gone, and was also gracious and encouraging about helping us not to worry. She was great!”


“Viky was incredible! Appreciated her being able to tackle on a last second house sitting and Monty was left in excellent care. She was incredibly communicatice throughout :)”

“Naomi was a dream !! Kiko totally loved her, I can see in the pictures that she was happy and comfortable all day. Naomi was not only totally professional, she was also so warm and loving (and made an amazing portrait of my puppy — wow!). I hope Kiko will get much more time with Naomi in the future !”

Lydia and Chemil were the best dog sitters! They stayed in our apartment with the dogs the entire time we were gone. Our dogs are particular and have strong personalities that require more attention than average. Lydia and Chemil followed our instructions easily, and even found the kibble bag to refill the container when we forgot to do it ourselves! They were self sufficient and let us enjoy our time away, knowing that the dogs were being cared for and loved. I would happily book them again!

Laura was wonderful with our dog while we were away. She went above and beyond to make our dog comfortable and happy. She was sending us lots of pictures of our dog during her stay, every morning, mid-day and evening. She took our dog to multiple walks a day. We were very happy and I would highly recommend Laura!

My two small dogs can be really difficult with new people, but Trevor was very patient and gentle with them. He was communicative throughout his stay at our house, sending lots of pics and updates, and took great care of our pups. House was also very clean and neat when we got back from our trip!

Jennifer was amazing with our 4 month old pup! We had to travel last minute and she was able to sit for him in our home. She took the best care of him, sent us pictures and updates, and made our sweet boy even sweeter by the time we got back. So grateful to have found Jennifer and will have her over again and again!

We had a great experience with Paola watching our boy! He is anxious with new people, but warmed up to her super quickly. We love the photos she sent us while we were away. She kept the house clean/the same as it was before we left as well, which we really appreciated coming home to a clean house. Thank you for everything! 🩷

We booked Ai-Ling to house sit for a week and she took great care of the apartment & our cat! She is responsive and follows detailed instructions of the feeding schedule and requests for pictures. It was our first time booking a house sitter so we were a little nervous at first but she is very respectful of using our apartment and made us feel comfortable leaving it to her for a week abroad. She always asked me about things around the place first before using it and cleaned up before leaving. Will def re-book/recommend her!!
