“Jehiny watched our pups for an extended stay! They were cared for, safe, and definitely seemed to have fun! We got regular updates with photos and maps of their walks. It was really comforting to see how they all bonded :) and our girls are HIGH ENERGY.”

“Alison has taken care of my 3 dogs overnight a few times now. They’re a lot and she does great! I come home and my dogs are happy and clearly have been loved while I’m out. She also handles one of my dogs eye medications for which I am very grateful!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and currently have seven cats and a Yorkie of my own, so caring for pets has truly been a lifelong part of my everyday life. Having a multi-pet household has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities, temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, maintaining daily routines, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I especially understand cats and how different their personalities can be—from the super affectionate and playful ones to the shy or independent ones who need a little more patience and space to feel comfortable. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident about who you’re leaving your pets with. I’ll treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, attention, and respect I give my own, and I’m always happy to provide plenty of photos and updates while you’re away! :) Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine as a pet parent myself. I’m available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, making weekends especially flexible for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or other pet care needs. During the week, I’m typically available in the evenings starting around 6 PM. I can also be flexible outside of my normal availability as needed, so feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s schedule and care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, and any special preferences your pet may have. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s established routine, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape points are secure. For pets staying with me, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment and giving them time to adjust at their own pace. Because I have pets of my own, I take introductions and interactions seriously and would never force unfamiliar animals together. I’m attentive to behavior and body language and will always prioritize what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable.

“It was our first time leaving our dog for a house sitting service, and Marli went above and beyond to make sure Halo and we were comfortable. She was super communicative during our time away, sent me many pictures and updates of Halo, and was super respectful of our home and all the notes we left for Halo’s care. We appreciate Marli and will definitely continue to use her when we can in the future. Thank you, Marli!”

About: For the past ten years, I’ve been the trusted go‑to pet caregiver for friends and colleagues; whether they’re heading out for a weekend getaway or simply stuck at work longer than expected. I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your fur-baby, which is why I treat every pet I take care of as if they were my own. I have done everything from daily dog walks and feeding routines to scooping litter, administering medication, and giving plenty of love and attention. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Supporting happy, healthy pets brings me so much joy, and I’m committed to giving your furry family member the same level of care you would! I am currently in the process of switching full-time jobs, so my availability is open to daily walks and pet-sitting seven days a week! I will make sure to let you know if my availability changes. I live in an apartment, so all pet care takes place in my client’s home. I know how important trust is, and I treat every pet like my own—following your routines, keeping their space safe and tidy, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!

About: I’ve had two dogs! My first dog was a Maltese named Rocky. He passed away in 2017 from lymphoma. 💔 Right now, I have a 9-year-old terrier mix named Lila! She’s full of energy and loves running around the yard, going for walks, and playing fetch with her toys. I’ve been helping take care of my family’s & friends dogs since I was a little girl, and I’ve always loved dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. 🥰 I’m currently in the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program at FDU. I started in May, and the program is 15 months long, so I’ll be graduating in September 2027. My classes are a mix of online and in-person, but I’m generally available all day on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to house sit and available Tuesdays and Thursdays for drop-ins and walks! Whether your dog needs a walk, a trip to the park, someone to play with, or just a buddy to relax with on the couch, I’m happy to help! I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. Just let me know what you need, and I’d be happy to make it happen. 😊

“We have had many pet sitters over the years, and Nima stands out as one of the best. She is very friendly, considerate, and kind, both with us and with our puppy, Olivia. Nima sent us daily photos and videos with a quick update on how everything was going. Olivia is a very picky eater, but somehow Nima got her to eat every meal! Nima left our house clean and tidy. She was on time and communicative about arrival & departure and about when she needed to leave the house while caring for Olivia. I highly recommend her for pop-in visits with your pet or overnight stays.”

“Danuta was absolutely fantastic - she and my dog became instant friends! She did in-house care for us as a huge heat wave hit, and she made little dog popsicles for my pooch to help keep her cool and have a fun treat. They went in walks and explored daily - Danuta was great, and will be a regular dog sitter/walker for us!!”

Holy moly! I can’t brag about Safiya enough! From start to finish the communication was nothing short of incredible. She cared for my baby like he was her own. She cared for my home like she lived here. I feel like a found a member of the family not a sitter. Hands down, the best caretaker for anyone you love. Will ONLY be booking with her again in the future. 100000000000000000000 out of 10. Literally the greatest experience.

Chris did an amazing job watching our dog Gobi and we will definitely have him watch him again in the future! He has a very calm, comforting demeanor which helped our nervous guy feel safe. But he also loved playing with him and tired him out nicely for us! He went above and beyond by taking him out for 3 extra walks and even brought one of our packages inside the house. I also loved the picture updates he sent us! Thank you Chris, see you soon!
