“Archer was in great hands with Eric! Excellent communication and trustworthy. He had a great time, got lots of exercise, and we would totally book with Eric again. Thank you!”
“Benji is like my child, so leaving him with someone is never an easy decision. I work from home and he is always with me, so what he needs most is someone’s presence and attention rather than constant activity. When I saw Mr. Su’s profile, I immediately felt he would be a great match for Benji’s nature, and I was right. He had occurred as a very trustworthy person to me immediately. I appreciated his communication from the start and the thoughtful questions about Benji’s routine. I also loved the photo updates and seeing that Benji was getting out and about. Mr. Su even added a bit more structure to Benji’s meals, which I really appreciated. He also accepted the booking on short notice when my other plans fell through, which meant a lot. Benji looked like himself in every update- relaxed and happy and it was clear he was in excellent hands. I’m extremely grateful to have found Mr. Su, and Benji will definitely be staying with him again. It’s a perfect setup for a dog who is used to having a work-from-home parent and thrives on attention, consistency, and a good routine.”
“Kira was a great sitter. This was Loki's first ever long stay and second time with Kira after a test run. They took wonderful care of him. Loki had a great time, he seemed happy and enjoying the company of Kira's family and other dogs. We were happy to see him in good health :-)”
“Jing was an absolutely ideal sitter for our very active Vizsla pup. She sent adorable photos keeping us updated throughout the stay, and we could tell that she took such great care of her. We will definitely be asking her to watch our Korra again. Thank you so much Jing!”
“Julie just watched my shihpoo Jasmine for the first visit. Jasmine and I recently relocated from Virginia to Massachusetts and she is experiencing severe separation anxiety. I had to make a trip out of town and Julie's expertise showed brilliantly. She was like a second mom to my precious pup and fulfilled my every hope and dream. A blessing indeed. Who can put a price on peace of mind?”
About: I have one dog and have fostered over a dozen others, including various breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have experience working with super energetic dogs and reactive dogs and love training! I am home for the summer, and I am available all day, because I am working from home! My schedule is very flexible so let me know what works best for you :). Safety is always my number one priority. I have lots of experience reading animal behavior. Please tell me what I should know about your pets or before coming to your home, and if there are any precautions you would like me to take in order to keep your pets happy and healthy! I will always keep dogs on leash, and keep water and treats with me. Will send updates and picture/videos too!
“Holly was wonderful! Milo had a great stay with Holly and her family, and loved the company of her adorable doodle River. She sent daily photos and was very easy to communicate with. I felt at ease knowing that Milo was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Barbara was incredible - she was easy to coordinate and communicate with, sent plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay, and gave him lots of care and affection.”
“Alyson is truly amazing! She gave us updates regularly and I felt so happy knowing our dog was in a loving place! Our dog was the happiest she’s ever been after picking her up from a sitter, so I know she was really well cared for! Will definitely plan to use Alyson again for sitting!”
“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
“Rob and his family took great care of my dog over the weekend. She came back happy and tired! We will definitely be calling them back when we need care again. Thank you so much!”
“Jing and her family (including host dog Milo) were absolutely wonderful. Even at two years, my Mesa has full-on golden retriever puppy energy. Jing treated her with utmost care and attention to my (arguably over- ) detailed instructions, and kept me apprised of activities through the week I was away. I would recommend Jing without reservation for anyone who is seeking a caring and thoughtful substitute "parent" for their dog. Thank you Jing!”
“Alan and Ying were great with my dog once again. They sent a bunch of videos of him playing and it was clear he had a great time. They were very accommodating with an early pick up time.”
“Francois was extremely communicative and took great care of our pup while we were traveling. He made me feel confident that she was well cared for and loved while we were gone. She returned home happy and healthy.”
“Hyesoo and her family were absolutely AMAZING! I can’t leave enough stars! Hyesoo sent me many pictures and videos as well as a detailed schedule daily. She was so accommodating and made the stay for our pup absolutely wonderful and worry-free on our end. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Julie did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Cal! He is usually shy and fearful of strangers, but she was incredibly patient with him and soon coaxed him out of his shell. Julie also did a great job of sending us a constant stream of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
“Paula was great! She was communicative and wonderful with our pup. It was a very hot weekend and our pup does not do well in the heat and Paula was super accommodating and aware of her needs. She sent great pictures and updates. Felt very comfortable with her and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
“Yi was fabulous! She took great care of our ragdoll kitten, Pudding. She is incredibly responsive and sends multiple pictures and videos every day. I would highly recommend her and look forward to booking again in the future!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by cats my whole life, growing up with two of my own furry friends. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of fostering about 12 litters of kittens and 6 adult cats with several rescue organizations in the cities I’ve lived in. I have experienced shy cats, playful kittens, or special needs feline friends. I’m familiar with medication routines, litter box care, feeding schedules, and helping cats feel safe settling into new place. Family, friends, and rescue groups have always trusted me for my care, and I’m thrilled to start servicing local cat parents in my community!

“Kyra did a great job caring for my two cats, sometimes coming twice a day to feed, water and litter. Kyra also gave ear drops to Nike who had an infection. She sent pictures and was in contact, and I think the cats really liked her. I trust her and would certainly book Kyra again.”
“It was great to have TJ looking after our cats. He was very communicative and prompt, we felt like they were in great hands while on our trip. He was patient with one of cats that can be a little skittish and he was great with our older cat that needs a little more attention. We will definitely use TJ again and recommend him.”
“Ari took excellent care of Mochi and went above and beyond what I even asked of him. He was flexible and I felt like Mochi was in great hands. Loved the detailed updates. Absolutely will book again, thanks Ari!”
About: I’ve had cats since I was born and grew up taking care of them from the ages of kittens to senior kitties. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for cats with all kinds of personalities, from super social and playful to shy and independent. I currently have a cat of my own who I rescued from a shelter when he was 6 and I absolutely love him!
“Angelica is a wonderful pet sitter, she is very friendly and responsive. She took good care of my cat and did everything that I requested and more. My cat loved her, and I had a worry-free trip knowing that my cat is in good hands. I will definitely book her again in the future and recommend her to my friends and family! Thank you Angelica!”
“Lindsay took such great care of my cat Naomi! She was extremely professional and responsive, and she was so helpful even with some very last minute changes/housesitting needs that I was stressing over. Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”
“Asmahan has been great! She was very understanding that our anxious dog takes a few visits to warm up to new people. She was patient and had great instincts with our pup. We are looking forward to continuing to hire her in the future!”
About: Hello :) my name is Elena, I've had the privilege of owning two gorgeous Bombay cats since I was 10 years old. My soul kitty, Sofia, passed away last year, I live with her brother Simon and he is happy and healthy with hyperthyroidism. I have experience with shy cats, friendly cats, administering meds to cats, maintaining rigid feeding schedules, introducing cats to each other—all the care and keeping that comes with cats, I have done! I am also a very clean person: I really try to make sure the cats can have as neat and tidy a space us humans and believe it improves their quality of life! I have many close friends (whose cats are my nieces and nephews) who can vouch for me being a proper cat lady :) Please ask any questions you'd like and tell me about your cat!
“Leanne did a wonderful job with our kitty Gus while we were on vacation! Gus liked her immediately, which was a good sign, and they definitely became buddies over the past two weeks. Leanne did a great job asking questions and making sure that she understood our instructions before we left, as well as keeping me up to date on how he was doing throughout and sending lots of pictures and videos. I would definitely ask Leanne to take care of Gus again!”
“Jordan was very responsive and professional from the moment I contacted her. My 2 cats adored her! She did a fabulous job feeding them their special diets, administering oral meds, and sending me updates and pictures. I highly recommend Jordan and have already booked her for another round of visits!”
“Very kind and eager to be a good pet friend to my two cats while I was away. Also conscientious, making sure all was well with a cat who is more shy these days. House was as I left it!”

“Juyeon was great with our cats, and our shy cat opened up to her almost right away. We appreciate her communication regarding updates for the cats and coordinating timing of the visits. Overall, highly recommended!”
“Rachael took care of our home and two cats for two weeks. We had a chaotic schedule (wedding for the weekend, then back to collect our belongings for a flight to Europe, etc) and she was completely flexible and accommodating throughout. Our cats were calm and happy and our home was in perfect condition when we returned. Rachael is not only responsible, responsive, and easy to communicate with, but also incredibly thoughtful and attentive to detail. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable house or pet sitter.”

“I highly recommend Ling & Ye...they were fantastic! Our schedule was more dynamic than we had intended and they were very flexible. Our boy Riley, 1-year old Golden, had great time and can't wait to get back to see his new friends!”
“Eric is very flexible and easy to communicate with. Beautiful home and yard for pups to play all day.I like that he does have over some other well behaved pups so that mine can socialize. Would trust him with my babies anytime. I get daily updates and photos which are greatly appreciated.”
“Jamie was wonderful! Kind, considerate, great communicator. My dog Eddie had such a happy day in her and her family’s care. We definitely look forward to next time!!”
“Juyeon was absolutely amazing! I could tell Goose was comfortable with her and very well taken care of. He always slept like a rock after coming home. We cannot wait to use her services again. Would highly recommend!”
“I’ve known Junho and his adorable dog Boki since Boki was just a tiny three-month-old puppy, back when we first met in our apartment building. Over the years, I’ve seen how much care Junho gives to Boki, and how gentle and kind he is with other dogs he meets on their walks. When Junho started Rover, I knew right away that I could trust him with T-Rex. My dog requires extra care and attention due to specific conditions, and Junho followed all of my instructions thoroughly. He even sent me multiple photos and updates without me having to ask, which gave me so much peace of mind. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Junho. He’s easy to work with, and his wonderful dog Boki will make a great companion for yours. Boki is super friendly and loves to play, but also knows how to give space if another dog isn’t in the mood.”

“Adrienne took great care of Quin for daycare. Many walks throughout the day as well as updates and pictures. Followed care instructions closely. Will have her care for him again!”

About: I love all furry friends - I have a lovely cat, and I enjoy taking care of my friends’ puppies short or long terms. Taking them to long walks is my favorite part! I work on a flexible schedule, so I’m available on most weekday mornings or afternoons. I’d be ou-of-town on some weekends so pls let me know what’s your schedule like if pup needs walks on weekends! I have leashes (non-retractable) for small and medium dogs. I’m confident keeping pups of these sizes safe from traffic / other animals all the time. It’ll definitely be a plus if your pup know some commands!
About: Along with growing up with two dogs and helping to raise a puppy as a teenager, family friends and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats since I was ten. I've worked with all types of dogs, from Shih Tzus to Pit Bull mixes. I'm the one in my family who takes the dogs out on long hikes (or for short walks around the block once they get older), brushes their teeth and fur, gives them baths, and trims their nails. I'm a regular volunteer at cat shelters in cat care, and as a student on the pre-veterinary track, I have shadowed and volunteered at vet clinics to better understand the care that goes into your pets' health. Besides dogs and cats, I also have experience with a myriad of animals, such as hamsters, rabbits, chinchillas, guinea pigs, mice, fish, hermit crabs, geckos, snakes, tortoises, and turtles. I have experience in preparing special diets for pets and other animals with specific health needs, and in senior dog care. Over the summer, I work at my internships in animal care for much of the work day, but that leaves afternoons, evenings, and early mornings for me to check in on your pets and give any care they need (breakfast/dinner, walks, baths, etc.). Over the school year, I will have more hours available to fit in more time with your pets (i.e. walking and bathing/grooming, more playtime, etc.). As a lover of all creatures, I take the safety of both pets and wildlife seriously. As such, I will always supervise pets that are outside in yards and keep them on leashes outside fenced-off areas so they are not a danger to others or themselves. If transporting pets in my car, I will keep them safe and secure in a carrier/crate. As a college student who has shared living spaces with new people before, I understand the importance of respecting others' belongings and boundaries. During drop-in visits, I will be sure to respect your home and any rules you may have for your comfort (i.e. no shoes in the house, specific dishes/silverware for pets only, general cleanliness, etc.).
“Su was absolutely wonderful with Giro. Giro, that is usually poo shy with new people very quickly felt very comfortable 😃 which is a wonderful sign. Thank you Su! We would definitely love to have you walk Giro again”
About: Growing up with dogs in the family made me learn how to care for them naturally and see animals as friends. I will be more than happy to know your buddy, make sure they have everything they need, and have amazing moments together. I’m working part time and mostly available up to two hours during the morning and evenings after 5pm. Weekends are flexible with all day availability and flexibility. I always double check any house doors, to make sure it’s safe. Keep them near me in any outdoor environment is a rule, never unleashed or left alone outside. I’ll love to know more about your dogs habits and personality to adjust to their needs, restrictions and expectations.
“Sarah looked after our 2 dogs and took good care of them while we were away. She sent pictures every day and we really appreciated that. She even brought her family to walk our dogs. Maxy and Kyro looked happy and together with the report cards making us feel at ease. Definitely recommend Sarah.”
“Leanne has been my cat's sitter many times and now she's taken care of my friend's high-energy golden retriever Larry! Larry was so happy and cared for. Leanne is the best sitter!”
“Claudia was great! I highly recommend her for dog-walking. She was prompt, friendly, and clearly very good with dogs. She took careful notes on all of Milo’s needs and preferences the first time we met, making me feel very at ease. Thanks, Claudia!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young girl. Growing up, I’ve owned and been trusted to watch a wide range of pets, but I love being around dogs of all ages! I’m currently a graduate student, with classes only taking up half of my week, so I have multiple days I can devote to pet care! Usually, Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays are my pet days. When entering your home, respect is my top priority. It’s a privilege to be let into your space, and I will respect your home and pet as if they were my own.
“Sebastian was great!! Very communicative and friendly. We did a meet & greet prior to his scheduled walk with our pup. It was great for him to get to know our pup’s attitude and high energy. He handled our pup well and gave great feedback on his experience. Already booked Sebastian again!”
“Scout had a great first week with Aaron - she seemed happy with the walks and very comfortable with him. From the human side, he's a good and responsive communicator, and responsible around scheduling and closing up the house. He clearly loves dogs and has a good way with them. Thumbs up!”
“Tanya did a great job taking our boxer Nala on daily afternoon walks. She was great at communicating any changes in her schedule with me, flexible to meet my needs to care for Nala, and always polite and professional. Thank you so much for you help Tanya! It was comforting knowing that Nala was in good hands while we were away.”
About: Dog-walker, lover, care-taker here! I’ve always loved dogs from a young age and have been exposed to all breeds from the start! I have a rescue lab mix of my own, since 9 weeks old and also live with 2 pitties. I’m here to help with routine dog walks as well as check-ins, feeding, baths.. you name it. I work part time with a scattered shift schedule so my days are always different. What makes me unique with this type of schedule is that I can accommodate your schedule with the openness of mine. I am available most days of the week during the work day and most nights. Not only am I timely and punctual, but I am also full of energy and another human for your dog to interact with during a long work day. I make sure your dog is well cared for in the time that I have for them and take environmental factors into account (weather,etc.). O give extra attention to dogs every time I see them and take my time on walks if I feel they need more time.
