“I highly recommend Lila. She did an amazing job with my three cats. She is very diligent and honest. Gustav needs a pill and she was able to give him that. Betty is very timid but she went to Lila. Lila kept me updated with texts and photos everyday. She went above and beyond. I look forward to having Lila take care of my fur babies whenever I travel!”


“Ace was wonderful with our kitty. Attentive, caring, and communicated a lot along the way. Didn’t shy away from having to give him insulin. I would absolutely use them again for cat sitting!”


“Amber was great! We had an unusual request (help us medicate our cats, it takes 2 people) and she jumped right in. Without her our kitties would have missed days of necessary medications.”


About: I’ve got a big Doberman and a goofy American Staffy of my own, so I’m super comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve taken care of everything from little lap dogs to big, reactive pups—and I truly get them! I treat every dog like my own, with love, patience, all of the attention! Pet care fits into my routine easily since I have a flexible schedule. I’m available on short notice and can give your pup the attention and care they need throughout the day—whether it’s for walks, feedings, or just company. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, cozy space with lots of love and attention. I have a large yard, and while it’s not fenced, I always keep dogs safely leashed outside unless otherwise requested. I don’t use crates at the moment, but I make sure each dog has a comfy spot to relax and feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or specific habits. I’m respectful, reliable, and always focused on keeping pets happy and stress-free while you’re away.

“She was amazing! Communicative, on time, and thorough! Our cats are typically very shy but they took to her incredibly quickly! Would highly recommend and will be booking with her in the future for any drop ins we need!”


About: I have been around animals my whole life. I believe its important to treat them well and with respect. I know how important it is for pets to be cared for while we're away Im available most mornings and evenings. I am currently available during the day as well. I take my own dog for walks every morning and evening as well. I can come and provide the animals food, fresh water and play with them if they are in the mood for that. In the case of dogs I'm happy to let them outside or go on a walk with them. I can play with them and make sure they are exercised.

About: I have taken care of mainly medium to large dogs with high energy. My aunt (having a team of Siberian Husky’s) would often ask for my help with training and race day prep so I was always playing around with dogs in large numbers when living in Colorado. I am currently out of work by 2:30pm Monday-Friday with majority weekend availability. I have no problem with any dog big or small, old or young. I am very active and can keep up with active dogs or slow down if it is an older dog and just go for a leisurely walk. I usually walk my dog for a half hour 3 times a day for a half hour and play with him in my back yard on nice days.

About: I’m an animal lover at heart and have been helping care for dogs since I was little, at least 20 years and counting! I “dog-sat” throughout middle and high school for friends, family & neighbors. Happy to walk, play, feed, and then some. I’m seeking additional “work” that can also help me - I firmly believe that caring for animals is beneficial for mental and physical health! I’m not only caring for them, the furr friends are taking care of me too! I’m a teacher, off for the summer, and pretty available with the exception of a short vacation here or there. I am happy to coordinate times and schedules with you around your pets needs. I love nature and spend time outside daily; I can walk them around the block, the yard, or play catch! Suggestions welcome of your "norms"

About: My household currently contains 2 black cats and a pitbull mix! I live for the chaos and love that animals bring into a home! I have potty trained young puppies, given an inhaler to a stubborn cat and many more things! I have a flexible full time work schedule and I often come home at lunch or work from home to hang out with my pets. I prefer to keep pets in their familiar environment and visit them. I find that reduces stress and allows for me to build a better relationship with the animal.

About: I bring 2 years of senior care experience, so I’m patient, attentive, and deeply respectful of others’ routines and spaces. My background in caregiving taught me how to notice small changes, handle responsibilities with care, and always show up when it counts — and I bring that same energy to pet and house sitting. I am working part time doing uber eats. I love spending my free time coloring and learning new skills to be successful in my goals to entrepreneurship. I have a fenced big back yard over 1,500 sq ft so there’s plenty of space to run around. I live in a quiet neighborhood.


About: Hi! I’m Kim a lifelong animal lover and dependable pet sitter with a passion for making pets feel safe, happy, and loved—even when their humans are away. I offer personalized drop-in visits that keep your pets comfortable in their own home, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. In addition to my personal experience with animals, for 5 years I ran a in-home dog boarding business which I loved! Whether it’s feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering meds, or just some cuddles and company, I tailor each visit to your pet’s needs and routine. I’m experienced with both cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments, and I take pride in being calm, respectful, and attentive to detail. You’ll receive updates, photos, and honest communication after every visit—because I know how important it is to stay connected with your fur baby while you’re away! My weekly schedule allows for availability on the weekends, holidays and after typical business hours during the week! I’d love to take care of your pets outside of business hours! I am extremely careful with fur family members. I have fostered many dogs, boarded and house sat for hundreds of animals and safety is my number one priority!! I am CPR certified for dogs.

“Rebecca and Sarah were great! I have only recently been taking care of Loki and Ash, and was nervous about leaving them, but all was well and they were very well taken care of in my absence!”


About: I have been thoroughly enamored by dogs most of my life, ever since my family got our first black Lab. I have experience working with puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I currently have a 1-year-old puppy and 2 cats at home, all of whom are front-and-center in my life. I am also a veterinary technician (nurse), so I am very comfortable giving medication and caring for pets who may be unwell. I can also perform basic veterinary first aid, though I do not know CPR. I am extremely dedicated to keeping pets happy and healthy. I love working with them and discovering their unique personalities and quirks. I look forward to getting to know your dog! I am currently a full time vet tech, but am available all day on Sunday and Monday, and also afternoons (after 2 pm) on Wednesday and Saturday. I have one very friendly large-breed puppy, who would love to run and wrestle with your dog. In your home, I would respect any boundaries you set and maintain common courtesy. I also strive to leave everything as I found it.

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life! Dogs, cats, chickens, and more! My love for animals spread into my first job working at a local kennel/daycare. This experience led me to grow my abilities in animal caretaking, facing many different dogs with different needs. I worked in the kennel and did daycare some days too! My job included feedings/meds, playtimes/new dog interaction, bathing, cleaning, send home/drop off, etc. I received training in Dog CPR and other training techniques there as well. I’m currently doing online college so pet care will be one of my main focuses! I’m pretty flexible and will be available Monday-Friday basically any time but I would like to keep walks during daylight hours! My first priority when caring for pets/new pets is to make sure they are comfortable with me! I know it can be intimidating for some pets at first so being patient and continuing their routine as asked helps. I spend as much time playing and doing things they enjoy while I’m there. I will make sure I do everything asked and leave knowing your pets are happy and safe.

Christopher F.
“Christoper was a great dog sitter for my pup Ellie when I went out of town for the weekend. He regularly texted me updates with photos to let me know how she was doing. Despite Ellie normally being a very shy dog, she took to Christopher very quickly. Would definitely recommend him for anyone looking for dog walking or dog sitting!”

Shubby F.
“For starters there's so much to begin with but I'll narrow it down to an emergency trip i had in New York and the hotel I booked had a no pet policy, I didn't end up seeing or learning till I arrived in the hotel lobby with my Shorkie and because it was an emergency I had to contact friends all over the city or nearby citys to see if they can maybe babysit my puppy at their homes for a short while as i get myself situated, no one was avaible but Shubby! and she was all the way in Boston at the time and so she drove all the way down 4 hours! and went above and beyond to watch over my pup as i delt with my situation at the time and funny enough i had the dog food still in my bag i had forgotten to give to her since i was in a rush but she went and situated that herself and bought food and toys for my shorkie "Cali" and since then she's always been my go to person for my pup.”


Lisa C.

“Lisa was very respectful, polite and responsive.”




Kimberly C.

“Kimberly is great with dogs! She has taken care of my Pom and my girlfriends pit bulls on multiple occasions. Layla (her dog) is very welcoming and never puts up a fuss when sharing her space. The dogs come home tired as they do a lot of playing and outdoor activity and happy. We never worry when going away as Kimberly keeps us abreast of any changes or issues she may encounter. I would absolutely recommend using her to dog sit.”

“Jenna has been caring for our pets for several years now. They absolutely adore her! Whether we’re gone for a long weekend or on vacation for a week or more; we’re comforted by the fact that our girls are well looked after. Jenna is extremely dependable, has a way with animals and a great deal of experience working at a local boarding kennel. I highly recommend here!”
