“Eko and Sarah are so nice to work with: prompt, responsive, friendly. They did a great job taking care of my two cats, making sure they met their different dietary and supplement needs. They even got friendly with my shyer boy, who tends to hide when new people are around. I couldn't be happier.”
“Kelly was awesome! She came to visit my needy cat while I was on a trip. She is very communicative and was more than happy to set up the auto feeder. She sent photos and videos and kept me updated. Will book again!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has grown up with dogs in the family ever since I was born. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and over the years I’ve also frequently pet-sat for friends and family members. I currently have two English Springer Spaniels who are brother and sister, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. I absolutely love staying active and spending time outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, long walks, playtime, and attention while in my care! Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a slower-paced routine with lots of cuddles, I’m happy to tailor care to their individual personality and needs. Having dogs of my own has taught me how important consistency and routines are for pets. I will gladly follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, crate routines, training expectations, or special requests to help your dog feel comfortable and at home. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and temperaments, and I truly treat every dog like family. I know how nerve-wracking it can feel leaving your pet with someone new, so communication is very important to me. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident and relaxed while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup and provide them with lots of love, care, and attention! General Availability: Monday-Friday: 5AM-9AM & 6:30PM-11PM Saturday-Sunday: 5AM-11PM
“Edith is amazing!!! I'm a repeat customer, she is one of the few people I feel comfortable having take care of my cats while I'm away. This time a fuse blew in the living room and she let me know. She also moved the cats water fountain, it had been effected by the outage. It's a big bonus that both of my cats are comfortable with Edith.”
“Andreana was once again amazing in taking care of our sweet Lady, but also a very rambunctious puppy! With all the updates and pictures, my wife and I felt assured both dogs were being well cared for.”
About: I am a reliable dog sitter for friends and family. I owned 2 of my own dogs in the past, a boxer and cocker spaniel mix. I have a pretty flexible/varied schedule. Please send me a message and we can definitely work something out to fit the needs of your pet! Whichever directions or specifications you have for your pet I will always do my best to follow them! I do not offer home services at the moment.
“This was my 2nd time booking with Alison, I was so happy to know she was available for the time I was away again. She’s great to communicate with and always sends tons of photos during her visits 😊”
“Thank you Gabriela! Charlie & Frank were well taken care of while we were away. We appreciate that we can count on you to show up and provide caring and attention :) . You have been so helpful”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with years of pet sitting for friends and family, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 2 years and am now in veterinary school. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I have experience with medication administration, animal handling, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, but my biggest priority is making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I will be completing an internship, but I will be available on weekends for pet sitting. I also have availability in the evenings and on weekends for dog walks and drop-in visits, making it easy to provide consistent care around my schedule. For cat care, I am able to provide boarding in my home where I ensure a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. For dogs, I provide care in the client’s home, where I follow all instructions closely and respect the home as if it were my own. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel secure and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of pets and houses through TrustedHouseSitters since 2022. I have completed over 13 sits and have a 5 star rating. I have taken care of many cats and dogs of various ages and sizes, including golden retrievers, labs, Irish water spaniel, Yorkshire terriers, Maltese, pomeranians, Scottish terrier, Bichon/Poodle and mutts of many varieties. I respect a pet's schedule and aim to make them as comfortable as possible. I can handle reactive dogs while on walks. I can administer medications in pill or powder form if the pet is compliant. I love brushing animals if the pet is willing. Personally, I had 2 wonderful medium size dogs growing up. Sadie (German shephard and collie mix) and Mindy (collie and mystery mix) taught me compassion, patience and so many tricks. As an adult, I adopted my first cat in 2026. While I did not grow up in a cat family, if felt like a rite of passage as a librarian. I am thoroughly enjoying being a cat mom to an incredibly talkative and playful cat. He is very opinionated and craves human interaction. I work full time so I will typically only be available for overnights, walks or check-ins on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. For cat check-ins, I may be able to accommodate weekdays depending on your location. I have taken care of animals in their own home for over 4 years. I like to follow owner instructions as closely as possible because it is will make the pet most comfortable. I always use caution when entering/exiting the home and while walking dogs.
“Evelina took such wonderful care of my cats, Alice and Noodle, while I was away. I could tell she really cared about them, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was thoughtful and attentive throughout and really went above and beyond, even helping with things around my home like cleaning up a plant that had spilled. That kind of care really meant a lot to me. I would absolutely trust Evelina with my cats again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind and reliable.”
“Lauren, Thank you for taking such good care of Tedy for me! I just dropped in to check on him and he is happy and so settled! Thanks for your extra efforts!! Much Appreciated!”
“This was our first time leaving our pets with a sitter and we were very nervous to say the least. Paul went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were well cared for and sent us lots of pictures. We will definitely book with Paul again the next time we go out of town.”
“Highly recommend! Grace took great care of Reese over the long weekend, providing regular updates and making sure she was happy and well cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands”

Paulina is reliable, communicative, and gives us great peace of mind during her drop in visits. She always keeps us updated and makes sure our kitties are safe, comfortable, and eating well while we're away. We appreciate her care and attention to detail and we'll definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
The fact that they even saw my second cat (who hides from truly everyone) demonstrates their kindness and consistency with my animals. They are prompt and communicative, and can handle both my high energy puppy and my timid cats. Truly awesome to have folks I trust who can check in on the pets, would definitely recommend.
Hannah was wonderful with Maisie! Despite the pouring rain, she took Maisie out for a walk and play time and was patient while she waited for her to go potty. Hannah was extremely communicative before, during and after the visit. We are so happy to have found Hannah and have already booked out next visit!
Katie took care of my cat George for a full week of drop-in visits, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She spent time actually playing with him (not just the basics), and it showed—George looked so happy and relaxed in all the updates she sent. Speaking of updates, Katie sent a ton of them, which I absolutely loved. It made being away so much easier knowing exactly how he was doing each day. She also went above and beyond by watering my plants, which I really appreciated. I would 100% book Katie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable pet sitter!
