“Dana was great! I came home to happy, healthy pets. She kept me informed after each visit, and notified me of any alterations (eg, cats were eating a little less than normal while I was gone, so she cut down on the daily food amount). I would recommend her to anyone needing cat care.”
“Briana hands down will always be my first call when I need care for my kitties. She is so kind, responsive and provides updates to give me ample piece of mind when I’m gone.”
“Amazing sitter! Our babies had so much fun with Angel and he met their every need. We know they are in good hands and are leaving for our trip without worry. Thank you so much Angel, you are the best!”
“Bobbi was great to work with. I had her do drop-in visits while I was out of town and she did a great job taking care of my dog and was able to extend the gig for another day when my return flight got canceled and I needed to rebook.”
“Laura was more than we could've hoped for in a pet sitter for our cat, Luna. Laura talked to her, attended to her needs promptly, and gave her all the affection possible during her visits. While it's never easy to leave a pet behind while out-of-town, it was so much easier to enjoy our trip knowing that Laura was there. I know Luna will miss her!”
“Katie came to our rescue after another sitter canceled on us just hours before we needed to leave for our long vacation. She even made time to stop by our home during working hours before we left to make sure she understood the nuances of our home, as well as our cats needs and habits. (Added bonus - she has base access!) She was super patient with our shy boys during her visits, generously giving a little more of her time so they could warmup to her for some daily socialization. She reliably sent daily photo updates on which helped us stay connected to them while we were away. Her pet sitting services are easily 5-stars. Book now without hesitation.”
“Kaci is so amazing in every way, I can tell she really cares about my home and all my babies well-being. It's so nice to not have to worry about my senior cat that needs medication. She will be my go-to for every sitting job for as long as she'll have me!”
“Tabitha always comes through in a pinch. I really appreciate her ability to be flexible with scheduling and check on my dog last minute when I have a work or personal emergency”
“This was our first time working with Eric to care for our two cats while we were away. We really appreciated that he took the time to meet us beforehand to discuss their care and to be sure we were a good fit. One of our cats is especially sensitive to change and requires a daily medication which Eric was able to give to him. He kept the litter boxes clean daily and provided daily reports with each check in. Our shy cat really warmed up to him as well. We are glad that this visit went so well and will be looking to book Eric again next time we are out of town!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. When I returned to Washington in 2013, my roommate, who had show dogs, taught me how to raise them for two years. I’m a dog enthusiast through and through, and life feels incomplete without a furry companion by my side. Currently, I’m unemployed and studying for my real estate license exam, so I have ample time to dedicate to my furry friends. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate any pet’s needs. When I take my furry family for walks, I ensure we both wear high-visibility gear so that everyone knows I’m carrying precious cargo. I’m also a vlogger, and I love sharing memorable moments with all my furry mates..

About: I apologize in advance that I cannot accept any pets that has fleas or ticks. I have been dog owners for over 6 years. My lovely Japanese Akita was very well-behaved. After she passed, I rather pet sit because it’s so hard to watch her pass the rainbow bridge. I will treat your pet as family too. I also have experience with golden retriever, border collie, and Australian shepherd dog. I will walk your dog in the morning, short walk during lunch time, and a long walk after dinner. I like to go hiking on weekends so will bring your dog along. I will wash their paws after each walk. I'm a stay-at-home mom so I’ll be staying with your pet the whole day. My youngest is 15 year-old. I will walk your dog in the morning, during my lunchtime, and after dinner. On weekends, I will bring your dog along for hikes and lakes.

About: I have watched neighbor’s and friend's pets both long term and short term. I love animals but unfortunately can’t have them in my rental.

About: I've grown up with animals , guinea pigs , fish and a dog. So I've been around them my whole life. Which taught me a lot. Well I'm getting on here to be more of a dog walker so I'd be doing this more in the afternoon. That would make sure I can give all of my attention. What's most important is take make sure the dog feels comfortable, make sure there hydrated, give them attention, some food and a nap to replenish after the day.
About: I have loved dogs my whole life but have never had one of my own. Because of this, I’ve become the go-to guy for all my friends’ dogsitting needs. I spent 2020 as a professional dog walker in Boston and fine tuned my skills at handling multiple dogs at a time. I have picked up training skills and also enjoy taking photos of my furry friends! Additionally, I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every dog is different in how much attention or exercise they need and I’m always ready to adapt to best take care of them. I love getting to know dogs and their unique personalities and I hope I can get to know yours too! While I may be a dog person, I love all animals and have met my share of cool cats so please consider me to care for all kinds of fur babies. I’m currently caring for two golden doodles, Muffin & Brandy, for the summer. If you ask them, we have a great routine of food, sleep and play! I know every pet has specific needs and I am always looking to meet those so they can live their best lives. I’m capable of handling dogs with high energy levels or chill out with kitties that just want to snooze. I’m always vigilant as well since I know our pals can sometimes be sneaky.
