“My puppy had a wonderful overnight stay. He met Kim for a meet and greet and didn’t wanna stop playing with her. During his stay, Kim kept me updated with pictures and texts about my puppy. She left the house perfect! Would 100% use her again.”
“Hillary was awesome! I’ll definitely be booking her again. She was very communicative and sweet to my dog Misu. During our meet and greet, she also really took the time to get to know my dog and ask about his needs.”
“Kris and Angelica took such wonderful care of my two dogs. It was my first time leaving them with someone other than family. Once I met Kris I was very comfortable leaving them and I was confident they were in good hands. When I returned home, my girls were happy, and my house was perfect! I will be using them again:)”
“We had a great experience with Alexis this past weekend! She was friendly, reliable, and communicated with us consistently throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for and happy when we returned, and it was reassuring to know our home was also in good hands. Everything was just as we left it. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“Destiny was a great sitter for my aging pup. She kept me well informed as to what they were doing, her walks, play and rest. She followed my instructions, sent photos and responded to any questions I had while away. My house was clean and well cared for, too. My dog, who usually gets very sad when I'm away, was happy and her regular self when I returned. I would definitely recommend!”
“We are so thankful we found Valeria to stay with our precious Chancey shortly after we moved to our house. She was clear, organized, stuck to our usual schedule and sent frequent detailed updates with photos 😍. It is clear that she is very experienced with dogs and training. Thank you so much Valeria!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and horses for as long as I remember. I’ve always helped to feed, take out, and take on walks for our own family pets. I also spent a lot of time volunteering at Wags and Walks in 2024 where I went through a training process and then took care of and walked the dogs there. I’m currently home from school, possibly going to be having another job. Overall my schedule is typically free most of the time. I love animals and right now this is a priority of mine to care for dogs and pet sit. I have a completely fenced in yard at my house. I also have 3 family dogs at home who are extremely loved and quite friendly as well. They love to spend time sleeping, walking and sometimes get excited and like to play. They really enjoy meeting new dogs so if you need an overnight they would be happy to keep you’re dog company.
“Tatiana looked after our dog Delilah whilst we were in England for a week. She did a truly wonderful job- taking great care of Delilah and of our house and kept in touch with the loveliest photos and videos. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Kim did a fabulous job house sitting for our cat. She gave her lots of love and attention and took great care of her. I was very relaxed while away knowing that our Bunny cat was in good and reliable hands!”
About: I’ve dealt with pets of all kinds. Big, small, medium, and ones that aren’t potty trained. However, I love all animals! You’re pet will be my top priority, and they will be in good hands for the duration of time that I am needed! As a college freshman on summer break, I have plenty of time on my hands to tend to your pet. Even after finding a job, your pet will be my priority! I own a mini-dachshund who you will find either bubbling with energy, or basking in the sunshine in the back yard. His activity level is completely dependent on our behavior! Thanks to his loving personality, he is always by our side and being loved. He has free access to water whenever he needs it and is fed twice per day. Rocky would never run away, as his he too emotionally attached and can’t stand to be alone for even five minutes!
“After communicating with a few different housesitters on this platform, Katlyn seemed to be the most responsible and reliable one. She was very friendly, easy to talk to and Jäger took to her immediately. We felt comfortable leaving her in our home to take care of our 8 year golden retriever for a little over a week. Katlyn texted and sent pics every day- they hung out at the house, played in the yard and went out for walks/hikes. Pics were great- brought a smile to our face every single time:) Katlyn was also very accommodating with a few little changes in the schedule. We felt very fortunate to have her care for our home and our dog. Will definitely like to hire her again in the future! Val Schuermann”
“Our 4 month pup had a great day with Sean! We booked Sean for a house sitting day with our rambunctious pup. All was great and we really appreciated the pics while we were away! Definitely will book with Sean again!”
“Alondra did such a good job taking care of my baby Nuve. I truly appreciate her flexibility in working with my schedule and keeping me updated all day throughout with pictures and messages. Being in a new town for vacation it was important for me to be updated and she gave me peace of mind. Definitely recommend Alondra. 👌”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 10. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and give plenty of love to their pets. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and cats always treating them like part of my family. I love keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule, so I can spend plenty of time with pets each day. I’m available for dog walking, cat care, playtime, and more. I make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable in my care. I provide a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment, and I follow all instructions from owners closely.
About: I've taken care of a neighbors dog by giving them walks, playtime, and monitoring their water and food while the family was on vacation. I'm a college student and will be back in late May from school and will be in Fairfield CT until early August when I go back to school. However I'll be back for the holidays and will update my schedule for hiw long I'm staying. I plan to take care of pets in clients home by finding g a time to meet with the owners to discuss if there are any specifics their pet may need. This would also be a good time to learn more about the clients and what their expectations are. As well as taking time to be around the pet for some time before the initial job begins, for each new client.
About: With personal experience raising my own 5-year-old dog and caring for neighborhood pets, I understand the importance of dependable, attentive pet care. I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, and providing updates so you feel at ease. I aim to create a calm, positive experience for every dog in my care! I am currently a physical therapy student home for summer break. I usually have full availability on weekdays and weekends. Once my clinical starts in mid July my availability will shift to only weekends. Whenever I am watching dogs, I make sure they have a collar on when going outside, make sure all gates and fences are closed, and that they have used the bathroom before I leave the house.
About: We have a lovely home with a big, fenced-in yard and Doris loves to play with other dogs. I work from home and consider it life affirming to care for dogs. Your dog is treated like family in our small community of preferred pets. We've only had a special person care for our dogs so we understand that your dog is a family member who will be missing you as you will miss them. We have lots and lots of love to share! We work from home so there will be plenty of attention all day long. We consider the Meet & Greet as step one in the process of letting people and pets get acquainted. We require a Meet & Greet to be sure we are a fit and to lower anxiety for your dog and that's why we require it.
“She stayed at my house and took care of my dog she did a fantastic job! I am so pleased with her! She made sure she didn’t leave a mess in my house and took pictures of the dog all the time it was great I am so pleased I would definitely use her again”
About: I have experience caring for dogs in many ways, including: dog walking, play dates with other dogs, overnight dog sitting when the family is traveling and need help to stay with the dog those days they are away from home, or sometimes I have the authorization to bring them to my house, and daytime care. Through those years taking care of dogs I had a privilege to take care of 3/4 dogs at the same time, providing individualized attention and care to each furry companion. Dedicated to providing love and affection, I ensure that every dog in my care receives utmost comfort and attention. Prioritizing your dog's happiness and safety, our time together includes enjoyable walks in the park, fun playdates with other pups, and plenty of cuddles. Rest assured, your furry friend will always be in capable and caring hands with me. I'm currently working part-time, having time to dedicate to the dogs under my care. I prioritize their well-being by scheduling regular walks, play sessions, and ensuring they receive the attention they need throughout the day. I adjust my schedule to fit their needs, whether it's taking them for walks in the morning before I start work, checking in on them during the day, or spending quality time cuddling with them in the evening. Taking care of these furry friends isn't just a duty for me, it's a source of joy and fulfillment that enriches my daily life. In my house, I provide secure, worry-free environment for your beloved pets. I have a medium fenced backyard where I can take the dog to go potty and a great and friendly dog neighbor. My priority is to give the pet attention and make sure they will have love, and protection the whole stay!

Destiny was fantastic! She was communicative, reliable, and extremely trustworthy throughout her stay. She took wonderful care of our dogs, giving them plenty of attention and affection, and it was clear she genuinely cared about their well-being. She also left our home spotless and in pristine condition. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house, which gave us great peace of mind. We would gladly book with her again and highly recommend her to others.
OMG Angie & Chris I can't thank you enough for caring for my little girl, correction, my Queen, while I was out of the country. You are naturals at this! Thank you for the daily photos and updates and thanks so much for taking care of the apartment and leaving it totally spotless.
Oscar was kind, dependable, easy to work with, and a great communicator. While away, he was quick to respond to texts and even sent us updates, videos, and pictures of our cat throughout the day. I’m so happy to have found someone like him to help us when we travel, and our fur baby seemed to have really enjoyed his company too!
Our first and certainly (hopefully!) not last experience with Claire was wonderful in every way. From start to finish, she was polite, friendly, communicative, and responsive. She went out of her way to make sure our senior pup got the exercise and special attention she needed during our week away from home and provided regular and thorough updates. Any pup would be incredibly lucky to be in her company and care.
We had a great experience with Alexis this past weekend! She was friendly, reliable, and communicated with us consistently throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for and happy when we returned, and it was reassuring to know our home was also in good hands. Everything was just as we left it. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!
Katie was amazing with our highly active Australian shepherd and senior cat. She their food and medications instructions perfectly and took our dog on long walks every morning. She is punctual and super tidy, leaving our house just as we had left it. It’s obvious that she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel cared for when their families are away!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Ellie! From the moment we met her, she was friendly, warm, and made us feel completely at ease leaving our dog in her care. She was incredibly loving and attentive to our dog’s needs, giving her the utmost care and affection. Our dog has trouble with separation and Ellie made sure to be around as much as possible to make our dog feel at ease. Communication was fantastic—she was quick to respond, provided regular updates, and sent sweet photos that reassured us our dog was happy and well cared for. It’s clear she truly loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. She left our home neat and tidy, and went the extra mile to wash towels and sheets before leaving. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care, and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again in the future! Thank you for being so amazing, Ellie!
Emily did a great job, house-sitting for us and taking care of our Catahoula Leopard Dog, Maggie. She was very responsible and careful with everything in the house, and went out of her way to accommodate Maggie's idiosyncracies. We would not hesitate to ask her to take care of Maggie, and the house, again.
