“Amazing communication and she was so great with the cats! She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of while I was away. :)”
“Nicky was great with the pups - very loving and very punctual! We felt a lot less guilty leaving them behind knowing that Nicky was going to be taking care of them for a few days. We’re happy to have found a reliable, trustworthy caretaker for our two big dogs!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for the better part of my life and have been exposed to all kinds of pets and temperaments. I have long term house and pet sit as well as drop in visits and walks. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs, as well as all sizes and breeds. I want to take care of pets simply because I love all animals and find so much joy in helping others. I have a flexible work schedule with plenty of free time and I would love to fill this time by caring for pets. I am around most days and nights to provide any help needed! I am a very organized and disciplined person and will ensure every task given to me will be taken care of. I value pets happiness as well and promise to give your pets extra play or cuddle time. I am not afraid of any breed or size and promise to show all dogs respect, love, and kindness.
“Brynn was a great help and was very understanding in my joining on the app and using the service(s) for the first time. She was very considerate in providing with the dogs with a bit of playtime, and provided regular updates/pictures to my personal phone. I would certainly recommend her service(s) to anyone needing a sitter in the area. Thank you, again, Brynn!”
“This was my first time using a sitter that wasn’t family and I’m so happy with how it went! My cat is very shy but he came out for Hailey so he was clearly comfortable with her. She got pictures too so I knew he was okay. Will definitely use her in the future!”
“Jade was phenomenal! Gave descriptive, daily updates and took such good care of Rascal. Usually, my cat is skittish around new people, but she went right up to Jade. Jade's love and care for animals is clearly evident. I highly recommend her!”
“Elizabeth watched our four cats over the holidays and was a great sitter! From the beginning she was super communicative and worked with our schedule. She was great with them from our needy lap cat to our scaredy cat who hid all the time. It was a great relief to know we had a reliable sitter for when we were out of the country to check in on our cats. We would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her as a sitter again.”
“Katherine was just perfect. We were able to enjoy our weekend away without having to worry about our pets. I would definitely recommend trusting her with your beloved pets.”
About: I have owned and cared for animals my entire life! From dogs to cats to horses, I have both domestic and farm animal experience! I currently own a 1 year old poodle rescue, and have in-depth experience from puppies and seniors, as well as with kittens and cats! My previous precious pet was a beautiful 15 year old standard poodle and we had the best times together :) I currently work full-time from home as a Registered Nurse (RN), so I am available all days of the week, both days and nights, for drop in visits to take the best care of your furry loved ones! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a calm, loving home where your pet is treated like family. You can trust they’ll be safe, well-cared for, and showered with attention while you’re away!
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets my entire life between having my own, being a part of FFA in High School, and working with animals professionally. I have experience in maintaining animal cleanliness, grooming, veterinarian assistance and puppy training. I currently have open availability. I am able to accommodate any schedule including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays. Whether its same day or advanced planning I am flexible and committed to providing reliable care as needed. I am more than happy to follow any schedule or rules you have set for your pet as well as provide updates during our visit.
“Thank you so much Kelly!! You’re the best and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your patience with my shy older baby. If she came out to see you that tells you how great you are with animals. Thank you so much!”
“Samantha did drop-in visits with our cats. Excellent communication, reliable, kept their food area and litter box cleaned, and took excellent care of them. Would definitely hire her again!!”
“Lacy was wonderful! My cats seemed to really like her. I got detailed updates everyday and pictures. It was nice knowing my cats were well cared for while I was away.”
“This is the second time I've requested Alex and she is wonderful. She's so sweet with my cats! She always feeds them timely and I always get updates with pictures. I never have to worry when I'm out of town because I know they will be taken care of.”
“Ashley has been a god send to our family (and our pup). She has helped our family out last minute on many occasions, and when we are both at work my mind is at peace knowing Ashley is scheduled to care for our dog. She is reliable and I know my dog is in good hands when she is sitting her. I can’t say thank you enough for her help.”
“Abigail was very professional, prompt, and courteous. She was responsive with updates for Kaz. Kazimierz also gave her two paws up and said she was very nice to him.”
About: I helped care for my wonderful dog for 14 years until she passed, so I understand the unique needs and gentle care that senior dogs require. Three years ago, my family and I welcomed a new puppy into our lives, which gave me fresh, firsthand experience with training, socializing, and handling all that puppy energy! With both ends of the age spectrum under my belt, I’m confident in providing attentive, loving care for dogs of all ages. I work part-time as a server, so my weekly schedule can vary—but I usually have most mornings and afternoons free. Since I get my work schedule a few days in advance, I’m able to plan ahead and stay flexible for pet care. I’m happy to work around your dog’s needs and find a time that works for both of us! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and secure—no open doors, harmful items, or unsafe areas. I follow any specific routines or instructions you provide, and I always treat pets with patience, respect, and lots of love. You can count on me to keep your furry friend safe, happy, and well-cared for while you're away.
About: I have 15 years of experience with a multitude of animals. Specifically dogs of any size, cats, equines, reptiles, and rabbits.

I also have experience with walking dogs that are reactive and pull, so trust that your best friend will be able to go for great walks despite any quirks it may have.

Taylor R.
“To say Taylor takes excellent care of her animals would be an understatement. Over the past several years, I've seen her take meticulous care for her elderly Poodle (Callie) through the end stages of her life, ensuring every new medical and emotional need was fulfilled with the utmost compassion and attention to detail. More recently I've had the pleasure of seeing her care for her younger rescue pup (Zeva), and she brings the same meticulous attention to detail and compassion here as well. I've also seen Taylor extend that truly excellent level of care to the pets of friends and family on the several occasions that she has "pet sat" for them. All pets have different needs and bring along their own unique challenges, but time and time again Taylor rises to the occasion. If you're looking for someone to care for your pet, please look no further than Taylor. I genuinely cannot recommend her highly enough.”
Sadie R.
“I have many types of animals that Sadie helps me care for such as Dogs, Cats, Chickens, Ducks, Geese, and multiple Parrots. I am elderly and her assistance with the caretaking of my animals is a tremendous help. She has cared for them in every way from cleaning up after them, walking the dogs, feeding them and providing love and compassion to all them. All of my pets are always excited to see her when she comes by.”

“Sophia is one of the most caring and dependable people I know. Her warmth, patience, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. She's the kind of person who always shows up, pays attention to the little things, and makes others feel safe and cared for. Anyone would be lucky to have her assistance!”
Gabrielle C.
“Gabi has been the best dog sitter/walker I have found! Not only does she love and care for dogs, she treats them like they are hers. Gabi walks my pit husky mix who is a handful and my lab mix both together and they love her! Gabi will come during the day to let them out and walk them as I have a 9-5 job and my dogs look forward to seeing her every time! Gabi has also stayed the night and took care of them while I was away. There is no one else I will turn to when needing someone to look after my dogs! Gabi will not disappoint you!”

“I am in the area on business and am so glad we found Faith! Based on the pics Faith shared with GiGi, I could really tell GiGi was very happy. I just wished Faith lived closer to D.C.! I highly recommend Faith!”
