“Totally recommend Kelun for her expertise in making our cats play, be comfortable and miss us less while we where away. She's very kind and understands the dynamic of having one or multiple cats. It was 4th of July weekend, and she brought up the topic of the fireworks and committed to be there when the noise happened so our cats felt accompanied and safe. We felt relaxed knowing our two lady cats where with her.”


“Jennifer us absolutely amazing with my diva of a cat Zoe. She is so patient and is willing to let Zoe warm up on her terms. I never have any worries when Jen can watch her! 🩷”


“Anna was amazing - she took great care of my kittens and they loved her! This was their first time being alone and Anna made sure they were very well looked after. She was always on time, very professional and easy to work with, and very thorough in her approach. So glad to have found her as I'm always worried leaving my cats alone. I will rebook with Anna in future!”


“Elizabeth was great! Easy to work and communicate with. Very flexible with scheduling and gave helpful insights on how my dog was doing. My dog had some stomach issues and she stepped in and helped by making rice and give my dog a supplement. Would recommend!”


“Kristine did a great job! She went above and beyond to make sure Mistletoe (my cat), was well taken care of. She is great at communicating. She would text me and tell me how Mistletoe was doing, she would take pictures and send them to me. I highly recommend Kristine.!!”


“Cindy did an awesome job taking care of my cat over the weekend! She followed instructions very well and even helped clean up some unexpected messes while always keeping me in the loop!!”


About: I’ve been taking care of friends and family’s dogs since 15. I’m interested in dog training, and I have abundant knowledge of dog behaviors. I have fostered and adopted dogs, and know how to react in different situations. I love dogs deeply and can’t imagine a life without them. If your fur kids need a place to call home while you’re away, I’m here with open arms! On weekends, I’m fully free for day care and boarding. I will commit all my attention and time to your pup. Hiking, dog parks, fetch, Sunday brunch — you name it and it’s done. On weekdays, I’m available for boarding if your pup is happy to stay home 930-430 while I’m out at work, with 3 walks/day (dog park/playtime if needed). I’m also available for dog walking/care without boarding on weekday evenings. My one-bedroom apartment is a safe and comfortable space. Currently I don’t have pets. All furnitures are baby-proofed, all food/plants are stored out of reach. Air conditioning is available. I’ll walk your pups 3 times/day (unless instructed otherwise). I’ll shower them with attention, but also give them space when they rest. They can sleep in my bedroom (in bed or not) or in the living room, depending on their preferences. If you choose to board your pup during weekdays, I will set up pet camera and monitor them while I’m at work, and be home in 10 minutes should they need me.

About: I’ve never lived without a dog in my household. I’ve had both small and large dogs and I haven’t met an animal that doesn’t like me. I’m very flexible with my schedule, so I can very easily squeeze in anyone. I love going out and spending time with animals, and I usually don’t have concrete plans. I have a 70lb goldendoodle who is fully housebroken and trained. My yard is fenced in and I have never had an issue with any of my pets or any visiting pets getting out.

“Jingyi has been wonderful to work with! She is so kind with our cat and will communicate any concerns quickly. The videos and pictures she sends are adorable and appreciated. Our cat really appreciates her too!”


“Shihui is absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my dog during her drop-in visits, showing so much love and attention. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and kept me updated with timely, thoughtful communication. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


“Max is always a joy to work with! Princess Pippa adores him and it always gives me peace of mind to know she is happy and cared for when I am away! Max is Pippa’s go-to sitter and can’t recommend him enough for his great check-ins and plenty of pics!”


“We hit the jackpot with Colin! She takes such amazing care of our boys, like they are her own. We come home to two happy, chill cats every time, plus we get the best photo updates while we are away (basically turned into our favorite part of the day). You can tell she genuinely loves and connects with them. Total peace of mind while we were gone. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve been rescuing, caring for, and rehoming reptiles, cats, and dogs since I was 18. I’m always that person who stops to help, whether it’s catching an injured stray cat or lassoing a lost dog to reunite them with their family. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from lizards, turtles, snakes, and betta fish to dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments including kittens, puppies, seniors, and even geriatric pets. I have hands-on experience with pets who have medical needs, including administering pills, ointments, eye/ear drops, and injections, and helping with physical therapy. My own dog has lifelong osteo issues, so I understand how to be gentle and patient with special needs pets. I’ve trained my own dogs and even some of my cats, and I’m comfortable with shy, reactive, or sensitive animals who need a little extra time to feel safe. I also have a strong interest in animal nutrition and take a holistic, compassionate approach to care. I’m now transitioning into the pet care industry to follow my lifelong passion; treating every pet as if they’re my own. Desde los 18 años he cuidado, rescatado y dado en adopción gatos, perros y reptiles. He atendido desde cachorros y gatitos hasta mascotas seniors y con necesidades especiales, aplicando medicinas, terapias y dándoles mucha paciencia y cariño. También he entrenado a mis perros y algunos gatos, y me gusta usar un enfoque compasivo y holístico. Estoy siguiendo mi pasión: cuidar a cada mascota como si fuera mía. I currently work full-time, four days a week, with a schedule that changes monthly. I’m always available on Sundays, and I do my best to accommodate bookings around my work schedule whenever possible. Trabajo 4 días con horario variable y siempre estoy libre los domingos. Me adapto cuando puedo. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their pets and space as if they were my own. I follow the pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and potty breaks to help them feel comfortable and secure. I also give plenty of love, patience, and attention, especially for shy or reactive pets. I keep the home clean and tidy, respect their rules and property, and make sure to communicate regularly with updates, photos, and any questions that come up. My goal is to make both the pets and their owners feel completely at ease. En casa del cliente cuido a sus mascotas y su espacio como si fueran míos. Sigo su rutina, doy amor y paciencia, especialmente a los tímidos, y mantengo todo limpio. Siempre respeto las reglas y mando fotos y actualizaciones para que se sientan tranquilos.


“Just like last winter, Diane took excellent care of our cat, Cooper, while we were out of town for a week. She sent us a picture of him every day, and we returned to find him happy and relaxed.”



“Taylor was absolutely wonderful, I asked her to visit three times while I was away and she made sure to update me every time. She got along well with my skittish cat who usually hides from strangers. She is very thorough, and checked on his feeder as well as followed-up with me to make sure I got home to him safely.”

About: I have been taking care of pets basically all my life, at my grandma house we use to have a lot of animals, and she taught me the love that they need and now I want to keep sharing that love. I’m a staying at home mom for now so I have most of the time free to play with animals, give them love and take care of them. At my house we have plenty of space where they can stay and play and where I’m able to take care of them all the time

About: Our animals are not a chore, they’re a delight to have and to hold. I appreciate the opportunity to spend time with them and in turn, make you feel at ease while you are away knowing they’re in trusted hands I’m currently a graduate student working part time and wanting to take on a position that I get to enjoy, not dread. I begin working full time soon in the mental health field at a non profit. I am newer to the area and appreciate the company of animals, so I enjoy filling more of my time working with them- whether it be time with my own animals, through volunteering or sitting services. I currently work 3 days per week from 9-5 and other than that, I like to stay active and with something to do/look forward to! I will begin working in-person at my clinician position at the end of May from M-F 8A-6P I have two cats of my own and they get plenty of attention through relaxing and receiving pets, by playing with them and their toys, and overall keeping them in mind. When I’m taking care of animals while their companions are away, I am reliable to follow any instructions left for me and make sure the animal overall knows that I’m a presence there to provide and care for the duration.

Mia H.
“Mia Hawkins aka...dog whisperer. Seriously, there is something special about Mia when it comes to animals. Her calm energy, her knowledge on how to care for animals is extra special.

She is responsible, punctual, and precise with the instructions for the care of the animal.Animals are in good hands with Mia. This position is a perfect fit in my opinion.

Maury G.
“She is one of those rare people you meet who cares for all animals and she does everything she can to help as many as she is able to. She does so by adopting animals in bad situations and by volunteering at the local humane society.

She administers medication to all of our dogs and cats and she grooms them herself as well.”
