Spencer and Julia were fantastic! They were super flexible for a meet and greet before completing a drop in visit for me. During the visit, they messaged me when they arrived, made sure to leave a note about how my dog did, and reassured me that they had locked the doors back when they left — all without me asking first. They sent multiple pictures and went above and beyond what I had asked them to do to care for my pup! Can’t recommend them highly enough!

About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.

Taylor was great. We have one very social cat and one that hides from guests. The shy cat even came out to see her! It’s great to know they were so well taken care of. Taylor came at the requested visit times; and in addition to feeding and litter duty, she provided a lot of play time as well.

Mya was AMAZING! She was so thoughtful and thorough. She offered to come by and meet our kitties before we left, which was so wonderful. She was super attentive to all of our crazy cat parent concerns. She was also super communicative the whole time, and sent us lots of pictures! We have a cat that is super shy and barely comes out for friends or family, let alone strangers, but Mya got her to play and spend time with her. Will definitely be hiring her again and would recommend to anyone looking for a caring sitter!

Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!

About: I have over 15 years of pet-sitting experience, 2 years working in a boarding facility, and I’m currently employed at an emergency veterinary hospital. My background gives me a solid foundation in recognizing early signs of illness or distress, and I’m trained in basic emergency protocols (non-technician level). I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages—from crazy puppies to wise seniors—as well as administering oral medications, following specialized diets, and accommodating medical restrictions. I do ask that owners reach out in advance to discuss any medical needs, as I won’t perform care I’m not 100% confident in. I’ve worked with dogs of all temperaments, including shy or timid pups, and I have one of my own! My goal is to provide calm, capable, and compassionate care so both you and your pet feel safe and supported. :) While I currently work full-time and attend school part-time, I have open availability from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM on Tuesdays through Thursdays. On Fridays, I’m available after 1:30 PM. I’m happy to discuss specific scheduling needs and will always do my best to accommodate you and your pet’s routine! I’ve always been an animal lover—definitely more of an “animal person” than a “people person.” That passion led me into the veterinary field, where I’ve gained a strong foundation in animal care and safety. During drop-in visits and walks, my focus is on keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and safe in their familiar environment. I know being away from their people can be stressful, so I will do my very best to provide companionship, play, and plenty of reassurance. I'm attentive to each pet’s energy level and personality, and I always respect their boundaries. I’m also experienced in reading canine body language, which helps me provide a positive and low-stress experience on every visit. I love sharing updates, so you can expect regular photos, videos, and even a FaceTime call if you'd like! I keep my schedule manageable to ensure your pet gets the dedicated time and care they deserve.

Dominique is an exceptional dog sitter! He took amazing care of our large, active dog, managing his energy with ease and ensuring he was happy and well-exercised throughout his stay. Dominique is a fantastic communicator, always prompt and clear in his updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He truly went above and beyond—not only taking excellent care of our pup but also helping out around the house, like taking out the garbage. We couldn’t recommend him more highly and will definitely book him again!

Brittany was amazing with my nearly three month old puppy, Ruby! She kept Ruby busy with a walk and playing with all of Ruby’s toys, and by the end of the visit, Ruby was all tired out (which was the goal)! I can’t thank Brittany enough and will certainly be using her again!

About: Have been a proud cat dad for 3+ years with extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes as well. Have also had experience administering medication to cats (but not dogs) and have no problem trying to give a difficult kitty their medication. I currently have a great deal of flexibility and can work to take care of your furry friend whenever I am needed! I would love I currently have three cats each of whom is very different from the other and I am able to make sure that each has their needs met and get the love they deserve

Liza watched my cat over the holidays and she was fantastic! She was great with the instructions I left and gave Felix lots of love and playtime while I was gone. I could tell she loves cats even from the meet & greet and it can be rare to find a sitter who likes cats as much as dogs. I definitely recommend her to watch your pets!

Daniel did great with our shy and cautious dog. He warmed up to him surprisingly quick, which we took as a great sign. Daniel left the home clean and did everything as instructed. His daily drop-in notes were informative and thorough. We would definitely book him again in the future.

Amanda looked after our pet tortoise this winter while we were away. She came by to do a meet-and-greet to understand our particular pet, species, and care needs and spent time studying his habits. While we were away, she was highly communicative, gave updates, and followed our updated care instructions. She also brought in the mail, which was nice, as I had asked USPS to suspend mail delivery but I guess they hadn't. She was also careful to make sure the door was locked after every visit. I'd definitely work with Amanda again!
