⸻ Let me just say—after my first two dog sitters, I almost gave up on this app 🙂. But I’m so glad I found Victor. He is incredibly kind and truly cares. My dog absolutely loves him—he wags his tail and gets just as excited to see Victor as he does to see me, which says everything. Victor is also very reliable. He doesn’t just stick to the exact booked time or show up late like others. He often arrives a few minutes early and sometimes stays a little longer, which I really appreciate. It shows how genuine and dedicated he is. I also have a camera at home, since my dog can’t tell me about his day—and it’s clear that Victor treats him with care and attention. That gives me a lot of peace of mind. He will definitely be my to-go dog sitter moving forward!

Binta was a wonderful sitter for my Cleo! I appreciate how she took the time to get to know Cleo and wrote meaningful updates. Cleo is a shy, reserved girl but Binta was able to get through to her! I hope to book with Binta again in the future. Thanks for everything, Binta!!

About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was five years old, so caring for animals has always been a natural and important part of my life. I am patient, loving, and attentive to each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or older and needs a gentler pace, I will provide dependable care, affection, exercise, and plenty of attention. I will also follow your instructions carefully and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently not working, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks during weekdays and weekends. For pets that are not comfortable around other dogs or cats, I can also provide a quiet, separate space in my mother’s apartment, which is located in the same building. This allows me to give your pet personalized care in an environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I care for every pet according to their normal routine, personality, and specific needs. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and affection. For pets that are not comfortable around other dogs or cats, I can offer a quiet, separate space in my mother’s apartment, located in the same building. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions while respecting their home and keeping everything clean and organized. I also send regular photos and updates so pet parents can feel relaxed knowing their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

We couldn’t thank Jonathan enough for providing care to our three pets-he was very responsive and communicative during our time away and the pictures he sent were nice to see that everyone was doing okay-also by the end of the day everyone seemed in good spirits and were more than cared for while we were gone. We are so grateful for Jonathan’s support and will definitely be rebooking in the future!

Lili took care of our cat, Mishmish, while we were on vacation. She followed instructions to the T, and our elderly cat, who is usually pretty lethargic and not overly friendly, warmed up to her. We came back to clean litter box, swept floors, and our cat having fresh water and food. We will absolutely work with Lili again when we travel for extended period of time, and highly recommend her to any pet owner.

About: I’ve had the joy of being around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with both small and large breeds since I was a little girl. Caring for them is a lifelong passion for me. I love not only spending time with dogs but also training them, learning about their unique personalities, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and understood. My goal as a sitter is to give each dog the same level of love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is thriving while you’re away. As a freelance artist, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to tailor my day around the needs of the pets I care for. My work in the arts gives me the freedom to be present for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I can easily adjust my routine, I’m able to give each pet consistent attention and love. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are in a secure environment that they are free from hazards, with access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of safe play space. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to exercise schedules, and keep a watchful eye on the pet’s behavior and well-being. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and ensure it’s kept tidy and secure. My goal is to provide both the pet and their owner with peace of mind, knowing they’re in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment.

Shelly has been checking on my doggie, few times per week on regular basis, for the past few weeks. She is very kind, caring, reliable and on time... My puppy has had some GI issues couple of times during this time and Shelly has been very caring for her. My little pooch luvs Shelly so much! she looks at the door, excited, looking for Shelly when ever I mention Shelly’s name! I’ve been feeling really at ease and peaceful, when I know she is coming to check on my doggie. Thank you very much Shelly :)

About: I enjoy creating a special bond with dogs and cats, always going beyond walking, feeding, and keeping them company. I am committed to not disrupting current schedules while providing extra enrichment and giving your baby another human to trust. It is important to me that everyone leaves better because of that trust and time spent, including myself. Special skills include long term care, caring for 3+ animals, puppy training, medication administration (including cbd), senior care, caring for anxious animals, as well as reptile care (I am a reptile parent). I work freelance, giving me full control of my weekly schedule. Pet care seamlessly fits into my routine because it is already a part of my routine, I have been in pet care consistently for 6 years. I also must be walked daily, and enjoy taking those walks in different neighborhoods with different companions. I prefer to care for pets in spaces where they feel comfortable and safe, their home. While I am in your home I am always respectful and clean. It is important to me that I have an understanding of house rules, your pets schedule, and emergency contacts including their vet.

About: I worked 1 year in pet boarding. And bath groomer. I cared every single breed and also cared a lot cats. It’s amazing !!!I loved it I’m available to play all afternoon. I really love spent my time with them. In the morning I have a job but I’ve arrived always early to my home. I always take care to them. Hours to eat, hours to play, to go to walk, most importantly make feel the dog comfortable and also the costumer. I am currently not working but have a few errand along the day. In the morning as soon as I wake up I would take care of the cleaning pet area, feeding and walking if needed. I would repeat the process in the afternoon. I make sure to keep everything as clean as possible, separate the pets as directed by the owners, also feed and walk (of dog) twice a day or as directed for the owner

Michele took wonderful care of my two cats and I came home to two happy boys. I really appreciated the photo and video updates, as they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my cats quickly settled into a routine with her, and knowing they were in such good hands allowed me to truly enjoy my time off. She was kind, reliable, and communicative. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!

Nicole has been an absolute lifesaver during a challenging time for our family. She’s been helping care for our seven cats by keeping up with their litter boxes, and having someone so reliable and compassionate has taken a huge weight off our shoulders. Nicole is dependable, communicative, and clearly cares about both the pets and the people she works with. She has been kind, professional, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire process, and it has made a difficult season so much easier. We are so grateful for her help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. Thank you, Nicole!

Binta took care of our three cats while we were away for ten days - I can't say enough positive things about our experience with her! She is thoughtful, generous, and extremely professional. She was through in her care, diligent in administering medication, and worked hard to make sure they were well cared for. She asked questions when needed, and took extra time to clean up the apartment before we returned. We had recently moved into a new apartment and she even took the time to train our cats to each eat from their respective bowls! It was a pleasure having her take care of our family while we were away - and we looked forward to her detailed updates. I would wholeheartedly recommend her for pet care and look forward to working with her in the future!
