“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jennifer. She is reliable and loves our as if they were her own. I highly recommend her!!! Thanks so much for the love and attention you gave our fur babies!”


“Madalys was a great house-sitter for our 2 dogs for the day while we were out. Although she was a bit late - hadn't told us she would be using bus/Uber to get here - she and her 1 yr old daughter had a wonderful time playing with the dogs and keeping them engaged. She is a very sweet gal and we would use her again.”


“Kate cared for my dog and Guinea pig at my home 3 days and two nights . She was patient and thoughtful while caring for my rescue who needs all of that before he warms up to someone new. Have already hired her again.”


“My two Aussiliers loved hanging out with Brandi during my business trip earlier this week. She has a good connection with dogs, and is easy-going and professional. Communication and coordination with her is easy. My dogs ate and played well, and came back from their walk with Brandi all happy. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter!”


About: Hi! My name is Keira, and I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds my entire life. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior and currently work as an animal caretaker at my local nature center. I have hands-on experience with everything from daily pet care to administering medications when needed. Whether you’re looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, or just someone who genuinely loves animals—I’m here to help. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority! I have my own pets as well including a dog, cats, bird, chickens, gerbil, etc. I have some experience in grooming and training if you would like any extra services let me know! I currently work part time at my local nature center 9am-2pm, 4 out of 7 days a week. Not long hours so I am able to walk dogs earlier and right after work. Or come back after work to pet sit if needed. At an owners house I would ask the pet parent what they think would be best but at my own house I have a big backyard to play with any dogs in my care (leashed or off leash). Any food provided will be fed by instruction and if medicine is needed to be given I can assist with that as well. Always fresh water nearby for any fur baby in my care.

“Frank is very easy to communicate with and professional. I also appreciated his flexibility and willingness to work with me and my last minute schedule changes. I’m sure Fez also had a great time with Frank!”


About: I have a huge passion for dogs and know the struggle of work/life/pup balance. I have had two rescue pitties in my life and worked closely with dog trainers and skill classes to learn new techniques. I have two nephews and love to have them teaching dogs! I am self employed so I have a flexible schedule throughout the day, I also have the ability to work from home when needed incase I believe in positive reinforcement and also care. I have two nephews and I consider pets to be treated just like them! I will dedicate time to make sure the pets are acclimated to the environment

“Samantha is fantastic, she has a gift. My dog is a senior, with difficulty walking and we have to pick her up to get on the sofa, the bed and the stairs, and she did everything with great care. She sent me photos and messages all the time. I will definitely hire her again when I need. to take care my dog. I highly recommend her.”


“Patricia was wonderful from the very first contact! She was willing to help us with everything, and we had a peaceful trip thanks to the way she cared for our dog, Milo. we were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Patricia is definitely a kind and lovely person, and our dog loved being around her. His anxiety was much better, and we felt much more at ease.”


“Molly is very kind and considerate to all of our pets needs. She followed all instructions and went above and beyond while house sitting to make sure we came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Can easily trust her to make sure our dogs are cared for while we're away.”


“Marcella’s mom, Ivana, stayed at our home with our dog for several days and nights. She is a wonderful, warm person and I was comfortable with her immediately. She was great with CiCi (our loving-but-stubborn 70-lb hound pup) and gave her lots of exercise and attention. She kept in touch with us daily and sent photos and status reports 💜 Amazing capable dog/house-sitter, hope to work with her again!”


“Jess was incredible. We needed a last minute sitter due to an unforeseen family medical emergency. Despite contacting her the night before, she was able to get to our place by 730AM and stay with Tokki all day. She did a great job with him and clearly has a natural way with dogs. We feel lucky that we happened to come across her profile as we now have a favorite sitter in the area.”

About: Hi, I’m Arieh — a lifelong animal lover and your pet’s next favorite human! With a background as a strength & conditioning coach, I’m fully equipped to handle dogs of all sizes — from tiny terriers to giant breeds with serious pull-power. But my real strength? Loving care. I grew up surrounded by pets — dogs, ferrets, goats, birds, fish — and I bring years of hands-on experience to every animal I meet. I’m especially experienced with senior pets, puppies, and pets facing health challenges, including giving medications and providing extra patience and TLC. Plus, as an amateur photographer, I’ll keep you updated with adorable, high-quality photos — because you shouldn’t have to miss a single happy tail wag or goofy smile while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or feathered!) family member! Pet care fits beautifully into my daily life! I run my own e-commerce business and work remotely, which means I set my own schedule and have the flexibility to adjust my days around pet care — including accommodating last-minute bookings. I’m currently single and love staying active, so taking pets on walks or spending time with them throughout the day feels like a natural, joyful part of my routine. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or some quality cuddle time, I’m happy to make sure your pet’s needs are met with love and attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When I care for pets in your home, I do everything I can to maintain their normal routine — from feeding schedules to walk times, play, and rest — so they feel secure and at ease while you’re away. I’m respectful of your space, tidy, and always leave things as I found them (or better!). I pay close attention to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means giving medication, monitoring energy levels, or offering extra patience and affection for senior pets or puppies. You can expect regular updates and photos from me, so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing.
