“Julie-Anne was great with our mini labradoodle! She took good care of him over the weekend and he was his happy and usual self when we got back. They got lots of walks in, she texted frequent updates and photos, and he had a great time. We're already looking forward to them staying together again!”

“Sara was excellent. She stayed at our house for a few days with the dogs while we took a trip into the city. Very attentive to the pups and generally has a very warm and trustworthy personality. We are already planning ahead to book her for future trips. Don't hesitate to book her - she's fantastic!”


“Becki went and above and beyond while house sitting and taking care of our beloved tripod. She took such good care of our pup. She followed all instructions and requests and even took her out on additional walks. Becki is the best!”

“Eric is super reliable. He shows up on time and he is very gentle with my anxious dog, Boo. She takes time to become comfortable with new people, and she is off to a good start with Eric.”

“Chelsea took great care of our dog Bella. She was communicative, caring and sent us updates and pics which we appreciated. We would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hello! I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember and truly love caring for animals of all personalities and energy levels. I regularly walk and care for pets for friends, family, and colleagues, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, a relaxed stroll, or extra playtime, I’m happy to tailor care to their routine. I currently offer flexible weekday availability for walks and check-ins, and I always send photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Hello!

I regularly walk and care for pets for friends, family, and colleagues, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, a relaxed stroll, or extra playtime, I’m happy to tailor care to their routine. I currently offer flexible weekday and weekend availability for walks, check-ins, and house sitting, and I always send photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet with care, compassion, and patience. I have my own cat and come from a family of dog lovers so I’ll treat them as my own baby.
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, especially dogs. I’m patient, calm, and great at reading their behavior. Over time, I’ve helped train dogs with basic commands, leash manners, and socialization using positive reinforcement. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What makes me stand out is how much attention and care I put into each pet. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they get the right balance of playtime, exercise, and rest. I also keep owners updated with pictures and messages so they always know their pet is happy and cared for. Your dog will be in loving, reliable hands with me.🐾 As a full-time college student, I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m available from 8–11 AM and again from 3:30–11 PM, and on Fridays I’m available from 3:30–11 PM. I’m also able to stay overnight on weekends if needed. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, I’m very organized with my time and make it a priority to be fully present with the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just companionship, I always make sure each pet gets my full attention and care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, not just something I fit into my schedule. When I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always stick to their normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding times, walks, or bedtime habits, so they feel secure while their owners are away. I give plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles, but I also make sure they have quiet time if they need space. If I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect as my own and always make sure everything stays neat and clean. I send regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are being well taken care of. My goal is for every pet to feel happy and cared for, just like they would if their family were home.
“Joiee recent sitter for my 2 year old German Shepherd. The word AMAZING isn’t enough to describe her. Before the actual dates, she took time to come to my house to meet my dog then while I was gone, she kept me updated on their activities and sent me some great pictures of the 2 of them together. After I got home, he was actually crying (which he only does when my daughter leaves the house) and I am pretty sure he missed his new friend. If you are looking for a sitter for your dog, I recommend Joiee to the absolute highest degree. Not only did my dog find a new friend but I will 100% be booking with her in the future. Thank you Joiee for treating my dog like he was your own.”

“Cam was a great pet sitter! My dog is pretty senior and not always the easiest girl and Cam was great with her. We got pictures and updates daily and came home to a clean house and a happy dog and cat :) thank you, Cam!”

“Marlin stayed with Alyssa for the weekend and had such a good time! She sent multiple photos during his stay and took great care of him. Would definitely book again with her again. Thank you!”

“Jackie was absolutely amazing, I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. We have two Siberian Huskies that can be a handful, but she handled them with such ease. Jackie was communicative and sent enough pictures and updates where we felt comfortable and informed, but gave us enough space where we weren’t bombarded about the dogs the whole time we were away. I honestly didn’t worry about my dogs for even a minute from the moment we left, which is a first for me. We came home to two tired pups and a super clean house! I’d highly recommend Jackie to anyone I know.”

“Salina was so sweet to our little fur baby! She was extremely friendly and reliable! She took great care of our dog and our home while we were away. Will definitely look to book her again in the future!”
“Rachel was amazing with Bert and Maisy. She followed their exact schedule and also exercised them every day multiple times a day. She was very attentive to both doggies especially when Maisy had a bout of illness. She was so communicative and kept me in the loop with how they were doing and sent pictures. I felt so comfortable and reassured they were getting the best care while we were away. I would highly recommend Rachel for your pet sitting needs!! ❤️”

“Olivia went above and beyond taking care of our two dogs and the house! She communicates clearly, made me feel comfortable that our fur babies were being taken care of, and left the house even cleaner that how she received it.”

About: I have had pets my entire life from cats and dogs to guinea pigs. I love all the animals and will treat your fur babies like they are my own. I get out of work early in the afternoon and can even plan for morning walks and care. My weekends are open for all your fur baby needs. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions closely, keep a watchful eye on behavior and health, and maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment. Whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free. I also respect your home as if it were my own, keeping everything clean and secure. You can trust me to treat your furry friend like family.
About: I work as a part time veterinary technician, very confident in giving medications. Will stay at your home with your pets to help them be as comfortable as possible and stay on routine while their owners are away. Love taking them for walks and hikes and make sure we have plenty of play time together! I would love to meet your fur-babies and help you be able to relax and enjoy your time away. I send updates and pictures so owners know their babies are enjoying their time too! I currently work part time as a veterinary technician, my shifts are between 5-7 hours Monday through Friday. Can do potty breaks during the longer shifts if needed. I stay in your house with your pets so they are comfortable in their own environment and follow their regular routine as much as possible. Plenty of time for exercise and play!

“Ellen did a fantastic job with our older dog Alice and our birds pets. She communicated with us on a regular basis and left the house in its pristine condition. We have hired her again for another trip.”

Kelsey did a great job housesitting with our (very) spoiled cat, Sasha. She arrived on time, checked in daily, sent photos, and extended our booking by a couple of days when our flights were delayed due to the snowstorm. Sasha seemed very comfortable which allowed us to really enjoy our time away!

Kelly is one of those very special people with a real passion for dogs! What a treat for our toy poodle to get to hang with her for the holiday weekend. We were totally comfortable traveling out of state knowing she was in charge. We look forward to engaging Kelly again for future travel plans. She is awesome.

Carlos was an awesome house / pet sitter! He took great care of the cats- he sent pictures and videos from each visit, administered medication twice a day, brought in the mail, and even did some light cleaning around the litter boxes. I will definitely be booking him again soon!
