Very happy to discover Angela. During her introductory visit, our Burmese Louie, immediately connected, accepting her even sitting on her lap within a few minutes. Made our travels stress free by making consistent and dependable visits. Looking forward to many more drop-ins.

I’m very glad to have found Rachel! She’s incredibly detail-oriented and caring. She paid great attention to my cat’s needs and made sure everything was perfect. She’s also very thoughtful and spent time playing with my cat, which made him so happy. I really appreciate her genuine care and communication throughout the stay!

About: Hi! We’re Faith and Nik, lifelong animal lovers who truly believe pets are family. Between the two of us, we’ve had animals our entire lives, including dogs, cats (and even guinea pigs and fish!) and we bring that same care and respect to every pet we care for. Your pet will have plenty of company here. Nik is retired and certified in animal first aid, while Faith works from home, meaning your dog or cat will enjoy continual supervision and affection. They’ll also have a friend in our 11-year-old Lab mix, Nala. She is sweet, gentle, and well-socialized with both cats and dogs, making her the perfect, low-stress companion for visiting pets. We live in a spacious apartment next door to a new park with a nice dog run. Having provided sitting services for friends and family for years, we understand how important routine and comfort are when you’re away. We treat every animal as if they were our own, while following your specific care instructions to the letter and providing regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind. Whether your pet prefers high-energy playtime, cozy cuddles, or just a quiet place to nap, we adapt to their personality to make them feel right at home. We can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member!

I had to book a last minute drop in visit because a family member who agreed to watch my puppy ended up having an emergency. Rebecca accepted the request promptly and made sure my puppy was fed and taken care of during the visit. Thank you so much for being so awesome!

She is absolutely the best! She was supposed to drop in for 30 minutes, but she spent several hours and even took my dog to the dog park because she knew I’m overwhelmed with the bar exam and moving🥹🥹🥹 I can’t thank her enough and highly recommend her.

As new cat parents, we were a little nervous to leave our cat, Lola, for a few days while out of town, but Katherine did a wonderful job with her. Katherine was an excellent communicator and provided a detailed update and photos with each visit. We appreciate the care she gave to Lola while we were away, and our minds were at ease knowing Lola was in such good hands. We look forward to working with Katherine again in the future!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other animals (cats, hamsters, chickens, goats) since I learned to walk. I was raised with German Shepherds and couldn’t imagine life without my big fur balls. I will walk (and love on!) dogs of all shapes and sizes for however long your fur baby needs. I’ve helped raise and train three shepherd puppies to date so I am happy to help with training as well. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I work part-time in childcare so I have a highly flexible, open schedule. I’m generally available 8am to 9pm on a Monday to Friday timeline, with weekends occasionally open as well. Check my schedule for particular days as I get booked at random, and please reach out if you need a recurring walker. I treat every pet with kindness and empathy. I am a positive reinforcement-only trainer and will always lead with enthusiasm. I’m very receptive and can be quiet with a scared pup, athletic with an energetic one, or strong with a worker breed. I maintain safety at all times and will treat your pup with the supervision and care they deserve. Finally, I’ve handled everything—slobber, snot, dirt, poop—you name it, I’ll take care of it and return your dog happy, clean, and content.

About: I don’t just watch pets but I truly bond with them! I’ve had my own cats for years and have been the trusted dog sitter for my family and friends since college, so I’ve seen it all and loved every minute of it. I’ll make sure to send you plenty of photos so you can see exactly how much fun they're having. My goal is to make sure your furry babies feel safe, happy, and totally spoiled while you’re away! I have flexible in office days but typically go in on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I will be home all day Monday and Friday as I usually don’t make plans during the week. I’m mostly home over the weekend if I don’t make plans. I make sure to regularly update my availability to reflect my exact schedule, so you can always count on me being there when I say I will. My husband is also around most of times! Whether it’s a workday or the weekend, your pet will have constant companionship and a steady routine. My priority is keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible to keep them happy and stress free. In my home, your pet becomes part of the family, with plenty of cozy spots for naps, dedicated playtime, and a safe, supervised environment where they can feel right at home. Regardless of the setting, I make sure they get all the exercise, cuddles, and mental stimulation they need, topped off with daily updates to let you know how they’re doing. I live in a spacious 2 bedroom so your pet will have plenty of space to roam around as well. I would love to have a details and instructions as I know every pet is different and I’m very good at following the instructions!

About: Experience walking and caring for dogs and cats. I have fostered several animals throughout college and have trained dogs of all ages. My own pet is AKC Caine Good Citizen Certified and I have a research background in dog Vet Care and can make adjustments to care based on breed and any current health issues. I make time to take my own pet out on adventures and I'd love to be able to take yours out for some fun as well! I'm vigilant of potential dangers with care for a pet outside of their home. I take notice of areas/ other pets to avoid and will physically step in to protect your pets boundaries.

Murray was an excellent cat sitter. He fed and played with my cats every day and even got my most timid cat to come out of hiding. He also took care of some minor things when I asked him like a camera the cats knocked over. I am really glad I hired Murray and Ana to take care of my cats while I was gone - and my cats were glad as well.

About: My love for animals comes from my own experience as a dog mom to Blondie, who has been one of the most important parts of my life. Caring for her has taught me that pets are not just animals they are family members who deserve patience, affection, and dedicated care. Over the past 5 years, caring for Blondie has taught me the importance of responsibility, consistency, and understanding a dog’s unique needs. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, which is why I would make it my priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, belly rubs, sticking to their routine, or simply keeping them company, I will treat your pet as if they were my own. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving and responsible hands. Caring for your pet isn’t just something I do it’s something I genuinely love. With a flexible schedule, I’m always available when your pet needs me most. I take the time to learn their routine and exactly what makes them feel safe and happy. Because when you’re away, your pet deserves more than just someone to check in they deserve someone who truly cares. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I always follow each owner’s instructions and make a pet’s well-being my top priority. I have a secure balcony where my dog Blondie loves to spend time every day watching people walk by and observing the world around her. It’s one of her favorite activities, and I enjoy giving her that time to relax and stay engaged with her surroundings. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and a loving environment where they feel safe and at home.

Loretto was wonderful with my dog, Mapache. He can be a bit of a troublemaker and doesn’t always warm up to new sitters, so I was pleasantly surprised by how calm and comfortable he was during Loretto’s visit. Loretto was patient, reliable, and clearly has a great way with dogs. I would happily book with him again!
