“Veronika was great with Baxter. He was happy to see us but we could tell he was well loved and cared for by her. She sent pics and expressed a small concern (which we appreciated ) but turned out just fine. When we returned, it was like he was looking for her to walk in with us. We will definitely book her again.”

“Katherine was fantastic with our anxious dog! Kodak is generally nervous around new people but Katherine quickly won him over. She provided updates each day and left our house perfectly clean after staying the weekend!”

“Naomi covered for us when we were in a pinch and needed a last minute sitter. She left the house nice and tidy. Thanks for coming so last minute!”

“Robert was ABSOLUTELY fabulous! He was patient, thoughtful, and really communicative. From the moment we requested a sitter until after the service was complete, he was swift to respond, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated on all the pet care rituals. He did not flinch when the breaker needed to be reset during a housesit, and he took such wonderful care of our tankgirl, Bailey. 5 stars, 2 thumbs way up, and a 3 snaps in Z formation! Highly recommend.”

About: Hi, I’m Cortney! 😊 I’m a proud dog mom to Kona, my giant Akita/Malamute mix. Caring for him has given me hands-on experience with giant breeds, leash handling, enrichment, and understanding different personalities. Since Kona is also reactive, I’ve learned how to safely handle dogs who need extra patience and space. I’ve also cared for cats for years and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, reactive, or a senior, I’ll take the time to get to know them and adjust my approach to what makes them feel most comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and offer dog walks, drop-in visits, non-overnight house sitting, and extended daytime care in your home. I’m happy to work with you to create a daytime and evening care schedule that fits your pet’s routine, whether that includes walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. When available, I can also provide transportation to grooming appointments, daycare, boarding, or vet visits. Whether you need planned pet care or last minute help, I’m happy to help whenever I can! I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I love sending plenty of photos and detailed updates to help you feel connected and give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety always comes first. On warmer days, I pay close attention to pavement temperatures and the weather. If it’s too hot for a walk, we’ll stick to a quick potty break and spend the rest of our time playing indoors or hanging out together.

“Liv was amazing with my two pups! She sent great pictures and updates while I was away, and was super flexible in accommodating a few extra nights when my plans changed. I have two older dogs who have some additional needs, and she took care of them with ease. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”

“Jean is indeed the Mary Poppins for pets! She's house sat my pup for me many times over the past 2 years, providing the same warm care and affection each time. She's extremely trustworthy and conscientious; I always return home to a happy & healthy dog and a clean, tended home. Jean's as professional & reliable as she is sweet & compassionate: a 5 star nanny all the way! I highly recommend her without any reservation, she's earned it. :)”

“Nicole took such good care of my dog Josie! Josie is nervous of new people but she warmed up to Nicole so quickly, I appreciated Nicole's understanding of nervous/particular dogs. She stopped in my apartment multiple times a day to take care of Josie, and I loved the daily update pictures she sent me. Thanks so much :)”

Victoria K.

“Robert did such an excellent job. He maintains constant communication and sends pictures and updates. He is very friendly and our puppies adored him. He did so amazing with our reactive girl (10/10)”

About: I always had pets around me growing up. We had a horse in our backyard as a kid. My parents were fond of Old English Sheepdogs and we always had a variation or two around. The best time was when they had puppies! There were always cats who walked freely in our backyard and came by for treats. When I move to the city, I always had cat friends. I often got to cat sit for them when they would go out of town. My neighbor’s cat in our Manhattan brownstone, spent more time in my apartment than hers because she preferred my window view. I have no pets now because my husband of many years, is all allergic to everything: bird, dander, cat, and dog hair, even Live cut Christmas tree trees! Now, my substitute teaching job has allowed me time to spend with pets. This is why I would be happy to take care of your cat and dog whenever you need pet care. I have been a substitute teacher for the past five years and am planning a hiatus from teaching. I plan to devote my days to helping my kids get to school and taking care of pets. Being a freelancer has taught me many things: how to adapt to new situations, be flexible with schedule changes and how to manage my time productively. I have taken care of cats for friends who have been out of town or country for long periods. I drive and can easily walk to or from a large section of my neighborhood.

“There aren't enough words to express how good she was, but I'll try! She was professional and so caring, not just with our dogs, but with our home too. Our flight got delayed and she didn't hesitate to stay later and wait for us. She followed our instructions to the letter, down to the smallest details. One of our dogs needed a bit of extra medical attention during the stay, and she handled it exactly like we would have: calm and on top of it the whole time. By the end, our dogs didn't want her to leave, and honestly, neither did we. Can't recommend her enough!”

Denisse A.

“Stephani was such a wonderful sitter for our handful of dogs, that have their various needs (i.e., prescriptions) and strong personalities being huskies. Our doggos seemed instantly calm with her during the meet and greet, and when we returned they didn't want to leave her side. We are so appreciative of her staying with them and giving them such love and care!”

“Shana is extraordinarily wonderful. She took such great care of our almost 14 year old Maltipoo. She was extremely kind and gentle from the very beginning of my contact with her. She always responded to questions and messages, and sent a daily report of how Kelli was doing, which I LOVED!! She also looked after every detail of our house from taking out the trash, to bringing in packages. I absolutely loved her and will use her again without a moment’s hesitation! A real rock star Rover superstar!!!”

Sharice B.

“This was our first time using Dmytro and it was great! Fast and consistent communication, worked well with multiple changes to the visit and sent pictures of two happy dogs!”

Kristin R.

“Chloe was a wonderful pet sitter! She took amazing care of our dog and our bunny while we were out of town. She was incredibly respectful of our home & space, and left everything in perfect condition. We appreciated her communication and updates with pictures of our pets! I would absolutely recommend her!”

Delaney U.

“Shawn is awesome and kept real good care of Toby! She was kind to give me tons of cuddles and made him stay calm while we were away!! We would recommend shawn to everyone”

Siddharth B.

“Li took such amazing care of Kuma and our home! She sent so many photo updates everyday of their walks, playtime, and even nap/rest time! Kuma can be an anxious dog, so we always try to find a sitter comfortable enough to handle her big emotions - Li was very knowledgeable about Kuma’s breed and behavior from previous experience caring for similar dogs, so we were immediately put at ease knowing Kuma was in great hands! Leaving for trips without our dog is always difficult, but Li made it so much easier for us. We will absolutely book with Li again!”
