“She’s amazing!!! Loved my pup like I would and sent the best pictures!”


“I cannot recommend Kaylee highly enough! She went above and beyond in caring for my special-needs cat! Kitty required extra attention due to his feeding tube and medical needs. She followed all the instructions perfectly, kept everything clean, and handled the feeding tube with such care and professionalism. She was patient, compassionate, and attentive to Kitty’s needs, ensuring Kitty was not only fed properly but also comfortable and loved. I had so much peace of mind while I was away! Thank you for treating kitty with so much love!”



“Margaret is amazing!!! Our pets love her and she has such an amazing and caring heart!! We are so thankful to have found her and highly recommend her!! :)”


“Luciana was amazing! Excellent communication and very professional. My two cats seemed perfectly happy and loved being visited. I can’t recommend Luciana enough and will definitely be using her services next time I’m out of town for longer than a few days.”


“Taylor went above and beyond! She didn’t just do a quick drop by to feed my cat but actually spent time with him so he wasn’t lonely. She waited until he was comfortable with her to approach. She even let me know when there was a problem with the heating and offered to call maintenance for me. A fantastic sitter for pets young and old, highly recommend. Thank you, Taylor!”


About: I’ve taken care of neighbors pets since I was a kid. I am timely, responsible, and detail oriented. I understand that pets are another member of the family and treat them as such. Growing up with cats and dogs has made me comfortable and confident in my ability to care for all kinds of family pets. I am the current cat dad of Shadow and dog dad to a 6 month old Golden Retriever named Nala with my fiancé. I’m currently an at home dog and cat dad while applying for jobs, meaning I have lots of availability on weekdays and can better fit into you and your pet’s schedules. I feel comfortable performing a variety of services including walking, feeding, crating, playing, and providing medication to your furry friend. I am great at following owners directions.

“Shaina was great! She did the job and was happy with the service. My only feedback would be to get details of what was done for each visit. What did you'll do? What did my dog do each visit, like "eat dinner, we played, he ate grass and had to stop him. He was a good boy". Did he bond with you? These simple things makes a good sitter an even better sitter. Overall, I'm satisfied knowing she took care of him while I was away. I'd recommend her!”


“Kathleen did an amazing job of taking care of our cat Kiara for two weeks! She came to the house every day to spend time with her, give her treats and scoop her litter. She also sent us updates with photos and sometimes a little note as well:) Kiara really got to trust her. We are super grateful to have found someone like her and she’ll definitely be our first choice if we’re out of town again! ❤️”


“Christy was awesome. My return flight got all messed up between delays and cancellations to where I got back a day late, and she was able to help me out that additional day no problem. Suuuuuper thankful!”


“Wonderful experience. Always know my pup is in good hands!”


“Sarah is the best sitter for my kitties. They obviously love when she visits, it’s clear in the wonderful pictures she sends me. Will continue to use her services!”


“Matthew was a great pet sitter, and went above and beyond with his check-ins and communication. I would absolutely use his services again and will be recommending him to my friends. Very professional!”


About: I’ve had a lifelong connection with animals, having cared for cats since I was little and being a dog owner as an adult. Over the years, I've learned to be patient and understanding with pets of all temperaments, especially those that may need a little extra care. I believe every pet deserves attention, love, and respect, and I make it my priority to ensure they feel heard and well taken care of. Whether it’s providing comfort to a shy cat or offering guidance to a more energetic dog, I dedicate my time and energy to making sure your pets feel safe and happy. I am currently working part time as a graphic and tattoo artist so I will have plenty of time to care for pets of all needs. I offer a pet-friendly home with a safe, welcoming atmosphere for your furry friends. My home features a large, spacious living room with comfortable couches where pets are welcome to relax and enjoy their stay. For outdoor activities, I have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure space for pets to play and explore. Additionally, there's a dog park just down the block, perfect for walks and socializing with other dogs. Rest assured, your pet will feel right at home in a safe, caring environment during their stay. When caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home, I ensure they receive the same level of attention and care as I would in my own home. I follow your pet's routine closely, including feeding times, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and secure, offering plenty of playtime, cuddles, and mental stimulation. I’ll also keep your home tidy and provide updates throughout the day, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands.

“She was very good did everything I asked and more will definitely be contacting her again!”



“Amanda took care of Rory while I was out of the country and she was excellent! She asked good questions during our meet and great, reassuring me that she wanted to take the best care of Rory. His stomach was upset because I recently switched his dog food, but Amanda was very understanding and extra attentive. She went above and beyond while watching him and I will definitely reach out to Amanda again!”


About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a true passion of mine. I currently have a senior dog who I love dearly, and through that experience, I’ve learned just how important patience, attentiveness, and gentle care are. Growing up surrounded by dogs taught me not just how to meet their needs, but how to connect with them on a deeper level. I’m extremely reliable and always make it a priority to follow instructions carefully and treat every dog as if they were my own. You can trust that your pup will be in loving, capable hands with me. I was recently part of a lay off at my previous job so I have an open schedule to come and be with your pet. I currently live in an apartment that has a dog park and a walking path for a good walk. The neighborhood has plenty of areas to walk and take potty breaks.

“Jamie did great! Plus she grabbed several super adorbs pics of Jarvis that she sent me while I was gone.”


About: Hello! I'm Kat, and I'm dedicated to providing your dog with the invigorating and joyful walks they deserve. I understand that a good walk is more than just exercise; it's essential for your dog's mental and physical well-being. I'm skilled in leash handling, managing various dog sizes and temperaments, and tailoring walks to meet individual needs. I prioritize safety, ensuring a secure and enjoyable experience every time. You can expect punctual walks, clear communication, and a genuine passion for enriching your dog's life, one step at a time As a work-from-home professional with a flexible schedule, I have the perfect opportunity to provide your dog with consistent, personalized walks. I'm passionate about ensuring your dog receives the exercise and attention they need. My ability to create my own schedule means I can adapt to your dog’s routine, offering walks at the times that suit them best. I’m experienced in handling various breeds and temperaments, and I prioritize safety and fun on every walk. You can trust me to be punctual, communicative, and to treat your furry friend with the utmost care. When entrusted with your pet's care in your home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment. I adhere strictly to your established routines, including feeding schedules, medication administration, and preferred playtimes. I'm attentive to your pet's individual needs and behaviors, ensuring they receive the appropriate level of interaction and care. I'm meticulous about maintaining cleanliness, cleaning up after pets and respecting your home. I understand the importance of clear communication and will provide regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's well-being and your home's security are my top priorities.

About: Whether they were mine, a friend’s, or a neighbor’s, I have been taking care of dogs for years. My first dog was a puppy, which helped me learn the do’s and don’ts very fast. Along with the various trainings, I put my dog, Oliver, and I through, I have become a better dog owner over the past 10 years. I believe all of this experience has helped me feel confident in taking care of other people’s dogs. Knowing little tricks to redirect a hyper focused dog or just how a dog may like to play makes a great balance of fun and safety. I am currently a full-time student, with school lessons only 2-3 hours a day. This leaves plenty of time for studying, aka caring for your pets! I believe in creating a calm atmosphere at home or while on a walk will translate to a calm pet. I try to keep my phone away and my focus on my pet while out, always alert for a squirrel, cat, or a chicken wing bone - my dog will lunge for them.

20. Grant L.
“Grant and I were roommates through a large part of our 20s, and I saw him lovingly dote on his whippet mix, Ollie. Ollie was high energy, anxious, and needed lots of behavioral interventions to feel safe--Grant worked closely with him so he felt loved and safe. Seeing Grant with Ollie inspired me to adopt my Australian Shepherd, Gus-Gus. Grant helped me work with my high-energy breed and helped my little guy practice throughout his training. Grant has been a continued presence in Gus's life since we moved away from each other, working as a dog-walker and pet-sitter on days when we need extra help. I always know my Gus is safe and loved when he's with Grant.”
