Charlotte came to stay with my one year old puppy for a long weekend (my first time leaving her for multiple days). She exceeded all expectations! She knew I was quite nervous to leave her, so she sent lots of updates throughout the weekend. She went above and beyond in terms of playing with her, taking her on walks and giving her enrichment activities. I even came home to a clean apartment which was a very nice bonus. Would love to use Charlotte again, and would recommend her to everyone!

Lakshmi took such great care of Luna while I was away! She sent great photos throughout the week and took advantage of the amazing weather to give Luna extra long walks. So thankful I found her and could travel knowing Luna was in great hands.

Alexandra was a great dog sitter for our senior pug. Our dog has special needs such as going out 3-4x a day, needing a diaper, and some pills with food. She dog sat at our apartment for a week and everything was smooth. She also provided regular updates. We will be booking her again for now on.

About: I provide reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care. I have experience caring for a cat for 17 years and a Maltese for 2 years, so I understand both long-term care and daily pet needs. I’m calm, patient, and good with all temperaments, and I follow routines carefully to keep pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping owners updated. Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to offer availability seven days a week for dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home sitting. My flexible schedule enables me to provide dependable care, consistent routines, and personalized attention to each pet’s needs. Please feel free to contact me to discuss availability and scheduling. My focus is to keep pets comfortable and secure by maintaining their normal routine in their own home while carefully following all care instructions, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and playtime. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.

This is my second time using Kat in just two weeks, and I’m so glad I found her. I have a large, reactive Golden Retriever, and Kat handles her calmly and confidently, especially on walks where my dog can pull. She’s very aware of triggers and I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in good hands. She makes sure my dog gets real time outside, including the park (her favorite), not just quick potty breaks. Kat is always on time, sends lots of updates, is genuinely kind and caring, and leaves my apartment exactly how I left it. Easily the best sitter experience I’ve had. I already have her reserved for a 2-week stay next month.

Jenid is extremely reliable, communicative, professional, and friendly. She is the kind of person I trust to be responsible for my dog even more than I trust myself because she is so experienced with dogs and so good at taking care of them. My dog loves her and we trust her completely. Thank you Jenid! :-)

This was my first time using Connor to watch my 1-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Hudson, and she was absolutely wonderful! She sent frequent updates throughout the day, and it was clear she treated him like her own. They had such a great time together that he came home visibly happy and content. I’ll definitely be booking her again!

Lisa was fantastic with Laila!!! She was very communicative throughout the stay. She sent pictures and updates daily. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Laila was well taken care of. Additionally, Laila is a bit older and has some minor medical issues. Lisa was very attentive and empathetic to Laila's needs and schedule. I will 100% without a doubt ask Lisa to watch Laila again. Highly recommend her for quality pet care!!!

Brooklyn is an absolute gem!! Cannot recommend her enough. She was extremely communicative, kind and very experienced with pups. My Rio is a Velcro active dog, who needs exercise and cuddles in equal measure. She took him to the park to get his wiggles out and then snuggled with him while I was away all day. 100% would recommend. Thank you Brooklyn!

We had a great experience with Salette while we were away from Wednesday through Sunday. Mushi and Lola were calm, happy, and well cared for when we returned which is always the best sign. She was kind, communicative, and easy to work with throughout the stay. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals and I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. I would absolutely use her services again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter <3
