Charlotte did a great job watching our Tucker over the weekend. She made us feel comfortable and at ease leaving our puppy for the first time overnight. She sent us daily updates and pictures. Thank you Charlotte!

Simply put Alexandra was phenomenal. Both of our pets took to her from the start and she provided the perfect mix of information and fun when keeping us updated on how they were handling being away from us. She even went above and beyond by making sure all the dishes she used were washed and the linens on her bed were stripped - completely not necessary but a major difference from previous pet sitters we've used. Absolute 100% recommended - we will definitely be using her again!

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.

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.

Aiyanna has been so so helpful with our dog, Phoebe! Not only is she great with her (and all of her quirks), but she is always willing to go the extra mile to support us and make sure we feel comfortable when we are away from her. Would recommend Aiyanna if you are looking for someone who is communicative, accommodating, flexible, and eager to make your pet happy!

Denise was great! Very thorough and patient. She helped us out with a home-stay catsitting job for our two cats, one of whom is asthmatic and required medication and the other who gets a bit anxious when we are gone. Denise did a great job medicating and monitoring our girl with asthma and making the other girl feel at ease. I was so pleased to get frequent, detailed updates and as a bonus Denise was very respectful of our home. We are so glad to have found a reliable catsitter who we will definitely call on again whenever we are out of town!

I can’t find a sitter that I will trust more than Junyi! He is very communicative and you will feel very rest assured that your dog is in the best hand. My dog can be quite energetic and sometimes too much but Junyi is always so patient with Loki. He’s definitely both me and Loki’s favorite sitter of all time!

Jocelyn was amazing! We needed a dog sitter on short notice, and Jocelyn not only came through for our anxious dog but also made the experience one that added to her life. She walked her, loved her, and earned my trust during her stay. Our family will most definitely book again with Jocelyn and I encourage you to book with her as well!

One of our cats can be timid on the first day but they immediately felt comfortable with Francesca. This really put our minds at ease because they need so much affection. Needless to say, they had their own vacation while we were gone. She sent pictures first thing in the morning as well as multiple times a day. She also left our apartment spotless, which we very much appreciated coming back from a trip. We love her and will definitely be booking her again!

Jose took care of my dog, Yogi, for three days and stayed at my home while I was away. He was very responsive throughout the entire stay and consistently kept me updated with photos and messages from Yogi’s morning and evening walks. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Yogi was being well cared for. Everything went smoothly, and Yogi was happy and comfortable when I returned. I really appreciated Jose’s communication, reliability, and attention to detail. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Leigh was amazing with our corgi, Rigatoni! We were in a bind with finding someone on short notice and Leigh stepped in with some options for us. She came over to meet us and quickly bonded with him! Throughout her 3 days, she was super communicative and provided us with updates and pictures. Rigatoni loved spending time with her in the comfort of our apartment and going on his daily walks. We cannot wait to have Leigh come and watch Rigatoni again. Thanks, Leigh!

Katherine was incredible! Our dog has some medical concerns and this was our first time leaving him with a sitter since he began his medication. She was so great about following our administration instructions for the meds, as well as anything else we shared with her. I’d highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again! Our dog was so loved while we were out of town, and that’s truly all we could want!

Amanda was such a great help during our latest trip. We have a senior dog and she really took good care of him. Unfortunately he had to go to the emergency vet two times late at night and Amanda never questioned taking him. She stayed with him for multiple hours at the vet and was such a great help. Thanks!

We could not have had a better experience tan what we had with Mariah. She made sure our dog was safe, happy, and doted on. Our old lady has a couple of medicine routines and Mariah remained firmly on top of them. We got numerous updates with a happy, smiling bulldog. When we came back our place was perfectly kept and our dog was already missing her!

Astrid was an amazing sitter! We were nervous about leaving our puppy for the first time, especially for a vacation that was over a week long, but as soon as we met her, we knew both Pierogi and we were in great hands. She was incredibly communicative, sending us daily updates along with lots of photos and videos of our boy. Astrid was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond by even helping set up a dog playdate with our next-door neighbor. She also left our home spotless!! We feel so lucky to have found someone like Astrid and have already booked her again for a future stay. Don’t hesitate to book with her you won’t regret it!
