“When you find someone that calms your nervous system when it comes to taking care of your pet, that you love dearly, that’s a really good feeling. Syd has given me that from the start. Competence is comforting. So happy she’s been able to step in and take care of my dog, Piggie. She’s been great keeping me advised of things going around my house, I have projects happening while I’m gone at work, and sending me a bunch of pictures of Piggie as well. So if that’s what you’re needing, it is a excellent choice”

“Christina was amazing, I came home to happy and tired dogs. I appreciated how much she communicated through the stay when things changed and that she sent me updates like I requested. I always get a little nervous leaving my dogs but they looked so happy on the walks it made me really enjoy my vacation knowing they were in good hands.”

About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’ll follow any instructions you provide and make sure your pets receive plenty of attention and care. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule throughout most of the week, which gives me plenty of time for pet care, house sitting, walks, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have classes from around 12:00 PM to 8:30 PM, so my availability is more limited during those hours. I’m available before and after class and will always communicate my schedule before accepting a booking to make sure I can meet your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will always respect their home and follow the instructions they provide. I’ll make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get their regular walks and potty breaks, and receive plenty of attention. I’ll also keep owners updated so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are being well cared for.
“Shea was so attentive to Milo. He's a special needs dog and Shea was great with him. Milo got sick the day before my return and she went out of her way to buy chicken for him for his upset stomach and she would give me updates and videos throughout her stay. I will be more then happy to use Shea in the future.”

“Chris did a great job for us. We have an olderJack Russell who has some special needs. Chris really likes dogs and dogs like him. He spent a week in our home and was very respectful of our home. Not only can I highly recommend him but I'll definitely be using him again. Thank you Chris!”

“Trixie was so excited to hang out with Kayana from day one. Kayana was really respectful of my apartment and really went above and beyond for my girls. They sent me pics regularly and even obliged when I needed more after a particularly difficult day. :) My girls and I loved Kayana and look forward to hanging out with them again!”

“From the first time my dog and I met Cassandra, I knew he’d be in good hands immediately and she proved that today. She house sat for me and took care of Riley and when she arrived, was very attentive to the care he required and that made me feel at ease entrusting him to her while I was away. She will definitely be my go to sitter moving forward and should be yours too!!”


About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 16 for friends, family, and online clients, and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m responsible, respectful, and very attentive to each pet’s routine and personality. I know trusting someone with your pet — and sometimes your home — is a big deal, so I always make communication and reliability a priority. I’m happy to send plenty of updates and photos, follow any instructions you leave, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they love walks, playtime, or just hanging out, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m a college student with a pretty flexible schedule, and I have my own car, so getting back and forth for pet care is never an issue. I’m always willing to make the trip to make sure your pet gets the attention, walks, feeding, and care they need. I also work part-time, but my shifts are typically only 3–4 hours, so I’m never away for long periods of time. I’m great at planning around my classes and work schedule and making pet care a priority! Safety, Trust & Environment I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality! When I’m in a client’s home, I’m also very respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I’ll always communicate clearly, send updates and photos, and make sure you feel confident that both your pet and your home are being well taken care of!
“Elizabeth is an amazing pet sitter! She house/pet sat our 2 dogs and we felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. She followed our instructions and the dogs’ routine, gave us updates and our fur babies were happy. This was our first time with Elizabeth and we will for sure use her services again. I’ve already sent a referral her way 😊 Thank you so much for taking care of the house and the girls.”

“Andrea kept our little pooch happy, fed, and played with for the 3 nights she stayed at our place. On top of that, she kept everything clean and took great care of the house. We and Stanford thank you!”

“Bridget was amazing! I felt that I could trust her right away. She was very responsive and punctual, and my babies loved her right away! She left the house spotless and followed all instructions perfectly. Would highly recommend!!”

“I'm so happy to have found you Rachel. After the first meet and greet, I knew that my girls would be in good hands when I saw how comfortable they were from the get-go. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that they were being well taken care of and in great hands. Thank you so much again! I appreciate the love and care you gave to Ellie and Arya :)”


“Jack was absolutely fantastic as a sitter for our Annie girl. This was the first time we had ever used Rover and Jack made this the best possible experience. He provided lots of updates, sent us lots of pictures and we could tell that he genuinely cared for and loved our girl while we were gone. Not once did we worry about how she was doing while she was in Jack's care. We came back to our apartment looking better than when we left it, could not tell we had a sitter there at all, more like we had a house cleaner come by. Would recommend Jack to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, loving and responsible dog sitter. Will 100% book with Jack again when the time comes.”


“Vivienne was extremely responsive and our dog warmed up to her quickly! She provided lots of updates and photos and bonded well with Lassi. She was a wonderful housesitter and helped manage some packages for us, as well. We could not recommend Vivienne more!”

“Brendan has made us feel like we can travel again! As we have a senior dog, we are reluctant to leave him--he's set in his ways and does not like changes to his routine which causes stress (for him and for us). Brendan set us at ease immediately. He has an extensive experience with all types of dogs, and was well aware of the unique needs of seniors: funky about feeding, different types of meds and med schedules, and the possibility of incontinence. Brendan took all of this in stride AND made us feel confident he could manage any issues should they arise. From day one, Brendan sent pictures and updates and was very communicative about Maxwell's behavior, habits and general well-being while we were gone. Although it was a lengthy stay (8 nights), he was communicative throughout and took good care of our home. I would have Brendan at our home again without question. I felt comfortable and confident that he would take good care of our sweet Maxwell. He got to know his personality and quickly seemed to understand Maxwell and that was clear in his communications with us.”


About: Im a life long pet owner with experience sitting all sorts of animals. Ive taken care of the smallest puppies to giant breed dogs as well as indoor and outdoor cats. I have fostered future service dog puppies, guinea pigs and rabbits too! I know when owners leave the house it can be stressful for the animals, thats why I stay at the owners house so the animals have the least amount of change possible. I love animals and am so excited to work with your pets! I am a college student who takes most of my classes online. This makes my schedule pretty flexible and only requires me to go to school two days a week. This allows me to be with your pets for the remainder of the time and give them all the love and care they need! I am available all major holidays but book up fast! I'll take care of your pets in your home. I know that leaving home can be stressful for both you and your pet that why I aim to keep your pets schedule the same as much as I possibly can. I will also update you about how your pet is doing a couple times a week so you know your pet is getting the best possible care!
“Mary has helped me with staying in my house with my dog while we were away. She was very attentive to our dog when we first met. While we were gone she kept us updated and even handled the unexpected well. Our dog was happy and our house was immaculate when we got home. We will be booking with Mary again”

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable and confident leaving our dog in Jack’s care. He was incredibly kind, attentive, communicative, and clearly treated our dog like their own. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved every minute of their time together. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We will definitely be using him again!

When you find someone that calms your nervous system when it comes to taking care of your pet, that you love dearly, that’s a really good feeling. Syd has given me that from the start. Competence is comforting. So happy she’s been able to step in and take care of my dog, Piggie. She’s been great keeping me advised of things going around my house, I have projects happening while I’m gone at work, and sending me a bunch of pictures of Piggie as well. So if that’s what you’re needing, it is a excellent choice

While we were gone she kept us updated and even handled the unexpected well. Our dog was happy and our house was immaculate when we got home. We will be booking with Mary again

Christina was an amazing pet sitter! She was thoughtful, attentive, and very communicative throughout our time away. We especially appreciated the daily updates and pictures of Louis and Remy, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear from every photo that they were happy, comfortable, and receiving excellent care. When we returned home, both Louis and Remy were happy and well cared for, and our house was left in wonderful condition. We are so grateful for Christina's exceptional care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Christina! ❤️

Ebony was absolutely wonderful! She sent us so many pictures and gave us so much relief while we were away for the weekend! Blue can be realllllly high energy and it always makes me self conscious that he’ll be a little too much for people but Ebony absolutely loved him (and Sans) just like I would and just made me feel so much relief that they were both okay. She made sure the house was taken care of too which wasn’t something I was expecting but appreciated so much! AND she made banana bread, which after days of hotel food, I absolutely devoured. Absolutely will be booking again anytime we leave for a trip! 1000000/10 recommend for your pups!

So thankful for Lizeth! She came over to help me with my girl super last minute and was just so wonderful. Lizeth was so good with my baby, extremely kind and caring. I will definitely be booking with Lizeth again and you should absolutely consider her to take care of your babies 💕

Chris did a great job for us. We have an olderJack Russell who has some special needs. Chris really likes dogs and dogs like him. He spent a week in our home and was very respectful of our home. Not only can I highly recommend him but I'll definitely be using him again. Thank you Chris!

Miranda was professional, friendly and responsive from the first interaction. I had a difficult situation with two fairly new rescue dogs that sometimes get into doggy tiffs and she handled it with confidence and ease. She kept us updated regularly while we were gone and let me know if there were any issues. When I got anrrived home from our 12 day trip, our house was very neat and tidy. I would highly recommend Miranda to anyone who needs a pet sitter!

Erin did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Milo! She told me she has cats of her own so it felt good leaving him with someone who has the experience I was looking for. I had quite a bit of instructions for my cat while I was away, and she did a great job following through with everything I asked. Very attentive, responsible, and clearly cared about making sure my cat was comfortable and well taken care of. She always sent me photos, giving me updates, and was great with communication! Very thankful for her help!

Wow! Helen was amazing!! We left our dog Beau and our cat Hammy with Helen for 6 days while on vacation. Beau stayed with her at her apartment and she would drop in on Ham nightly. She would send us constant updates and pictures and was quick to respond to messages. I felt that my animals were safe and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond and we cannot thank her enough. We will for sure contact Helen again in the future. Thank you :)

Bridget is not only highly recommended by me, but by my dog & cat too! This was the first time in a long time being away from my pets and Bridget put my mind at ease the minute we met for the meet & greet. She updated and sent pics twice a day. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you Bridget!

Avery was reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure my dog felt comfortable and loved. I would definitely book with Avery again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and pet sitter!

Once again, Shauna took such great care of my beloved pets while I was away. My pup is always so happy to see her and she looks happy from the pics Shauna sent. Even my cat who usually just hides trusts her enough to come out of hiding and receive Shauna’s love & attention. The house is spotless and pets are happy calm healthy when I return. Shauna is the best!! I’m now scheduling my travel around her schedule.
