“Sarah was a wonderful cat sitter for our kitty, Remy! She was attentive, communicative, and gave him every bit of care and then some. We’re very grateful for her professionalism and the love that she showed our little fur baby. We would 10/10 recommend her to watch over your pet, and look forward to the next time!”
“Erin was fantastic! She spent a lot of time playing and snuggling with my kitty. She communicated really well and managed his medicines like a pro. I'll definitely be booking with her the next time I'm out of town.”
“Tara is awesome! She offered to do a meet and greet before our trip, provided detailed (and fun!) updates on our kitties, and was very communicative overall! We will definitely ask her to watch our girls again 😸”
“We have used Kumiko on a couple occasions to drop in our Boston Terrier crew. Kumiko is quick to respond, very friendly, and great with communication. She makes sure to address any of our concerns and sends lots of photos of the pups when she stops by. Most recently she was great with our 10wk old puppy who we had only had a few days. Always great to have someone close by who can take good care of our pack---definitely recommend Kumiko.”
“Racheal was great with our Sally and working with our changing needs. She made sure Sally was cared for and got her exercise. Will definitely call her when needed in the future.”
About: I work from home (even pre-pandemic) with my terrier mix assistant, Mochi. I have many years of experience with dogs, as pets and as a volunteer at a local animal shelter. Not currently accepting new clients, as Mochi is now a grumpy old man and not interested in new friends. Why I love dog sitting I have had a dog since I was a child. I have always loved dogs, especially rescues. Having another dog or two around gives my dog a chance to socialize & play while I work. (Otherwise he just sits in my lap or at my feet) About my yard We have a large fenced backyard to play in, to chase squirrels, & for potty breaks, but also take walks around the neighborhood.
“Really grateful to Makenzie for stopping by to take care of my fur babies. She kept in contact with me to let me know what was going on, wrote notes on everything she did and gave my babies attention and fed them while I was out of town. She was nice enough to do a meet and greet before I left so I could make sure my big dog would be alright and he immediately wanted her attention when she walked in my door. Will 100% book with her again!”
“I’ve been having Meilin do drop ins with my old puppet, Zoe, for 3 ish now and Meilin has been such a pleasure to work with! They communicate any issues or concerns about Zoe with me quickly and the couple times they were running later or earlier they let me know. I know Zoe can be a lot sometimes and I appreciate that I never had to worry about her when Meilin was watching her. I highly recommend booking Meilin for all your pet sitting needs especially if you have a senior doggo!! 💚”
“We highly recommend Olivia! She has taken care of our babies several times now. She is definitely our go-to when we need someone. Do not hesitate to hire her!”
“Absolutely wonderful! Clear communication and really paid attention to details. Betsy was adaptable and patient and I came home to three happy doggos who told me to say that they loved their new friend and can’t wait to see her again. Thank you!!!”
About: I grew up on a farm and spent my summers living and caring for all types of animals from horses to chickens. I am working from home and looking to spend my lunch hour with animals and get some exercise walking neighborhood dogs! Ideally I would like to pet sit or dog walk during my lunch hour Monday - Friday but I am flexible as far as occasional weekend visits and different times of day. I care for every animal as my own and will spend time getting to know their individual personality. And my motto is to always leave someone’s home the same as or better than it was when I found it.
“Jessica has been wonderful! She has had many drop in visits with my puppy and is always on time/communicative. She does a great job with my puppy and is always professional. Highly reccomend.”
About: I studied animal science in college and am working towards becoming a full time animal keeper- have experience caring for pets, farm animals and exotics. I can administer oral medications or injections if needed. I am working full time (M-F 8-4) as a seasonal keeper at the Zoo! I would love to care for your pets on my off days or care for them before/after work. Wouldn’t be away from them longer than 8 hours. I will care for your pets however you instruct me to, wether that be crates or free roaming the house. I can take them for a walk around your neighborhood or I can drive them to a leashed park to get some socialization.
About: With seven years as a veterinary technician under my belt I am able to medicate and give injections or fluid treatments. Puppy training available as well! My goal is to make this my full time job over the next few months so I can leave the corporate world. I am able to do daily walks, vacation care and overnights in my home Fully fenced yard, beautiful in-home care set up. Safety precautions always followed as per your stipulations. I owned and operated a pet sitting business in Maryland for five years previously.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. With my childhood dog I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing the wildness of new pups as well as the medication/diapers/aftercare needed when they grow old. I’m a little newer to cats, but both of my mine have been raised from kittens. My oldest will be turning 3 this year! I will be taking classes and working part time in the afternoons. I think my schedule works well for Rover because I am free in the mornings (until 12:30pm), I can check in from 3-4 if needed, then I am free anytime after 5:30! My two cats are escape artists, so I have gotten pretty good at hiding the opening in the door when I enter a room! For me personally, this is always my biggest concern when having people watch over my animals, so I want you to know that I’m very spatially aware when it comes to animals.

Valerie was absolutely phenomenal. She helped out when I was in a last minute pitch, and couldn’t have been nicer and easier to communicate with even with my last minute request and with delayed responses on my end due to traveling. She also took the sweetest pictures of my two pups and took wonderful notes about what they did while she was with them. Couldn’t be happier, thank you Valerie! I would recommend this sitter to anyone :)
