From daily walks and snuggles to administering medication and a special diet, Sarah made us feel comfortable leaving our pup.

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!
“Alyssa provided excellent service and communication during our booking. She was flexible when needed and accommodating as well. We will definitely look to rebook the next time we go out of town.”
“Jordan was great! I would highly recommend her. She sent photos and a note each day and I knew from her previous reviews that my cats, one very shy, would be in good hands. Thanks Jordan!”
“My senior cat has some medical issues, including two different medications and specific dietary needs, so I was a little nervous leaving him for six days. Niusha was absolutely wonderful. She handled all of his care with confidence and sent daily photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. My cat took to her incredibly quickly—he was accepting pets on the couch within a couple of hours, which says a lot! When he came home, he was noticeably less annoyed with me than usual, which I can only attribute to the fact that he was so well cared for and loved while I was away. I would absolutely book with Niusha again and highly recommend her, especially for senior pets or cats with special care needs.”
“Claudia is an amazing pet sitter. She's incredibly considerate of our skittish kitty. Giving her plenty of time and space to get comfortable. Thanks to her, Smokie, our adult cat, is in wonderful hands when we're away. Can't recommend her enough!”
“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.”
“Juyeon was so kind to my cat while I was away for a few days, was great at communicating, and very flexible. When I extended my trip last minute, Juyeon was able to come for another two visits! I definitely recommend Juyeon!”
“Amber was awesome! She was very responsive, super kind, and our cat, Bodhi, was relaxed and happy when we returned from our vacation. We will definitely be asking her to come again in the future. Thank you for taking such good care of Bodhi, Amber!”
“Longfei & Luning took amazing care of Cookie! I received lots of photos and videos and he seemed to have a great time :) He was a little sick during the stay and they promptly took him to the vet which I appreciated a lot. Thank you so much!!”
About: I have been a cat sitter since I was little! I have never owned cats but I adore them, and have over a decade of experience caring for neighbors and friends cats. I will give your kitty love if they want it, look out for cat body language and will administer any medication needed.
“Lilly housesat for six days, providing diligent care for our kitty. She is very good at bonding with our usually cautious cat and left the house pristine. Great service! Looking forward to having her come stay over again.”
“Samantha did a great job taking care of our cat, Sasha! She was on time for the meet and greet and cat sitting start date. She sent lots of photos of Sasha and updates on her eating and litter habits. Sasha sometimes gets lonely when we leave on vacation and has not eaten in the past but ate and played fine and seemed very comfortable with Samantha. Would definitely recommend Samantha for cat/dog sitting!”

“We asked Juyeon to look after our dogs, Ella and Andy, for a single day, and we’re pleased with the experience. She was extremely flexible and accommodating, especially since we needed to drop them off early in the morning. Juyeon took great care of Ella and Andy, giving them short walks 6 times throughout the day, which was very thoughtful given they weren’t in the mood for longer walks. She kept us updated, was quick to respond, and gave us peace of mind. Overall, we’re happy we asked Juyeon to care for Ella and Andy, and we’d love to have her dog sit for us again in the future.”

About: Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for. I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.
“Wanda was a terrific dog sitter. This was our puppy Sheva's first overnight away from home, and Wanda (and her own dog Milo) settled her down very quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to call on Wanda again the next time we need someone to watch over Sheva.”
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and had one of my own until recently. Having dogs in my lives has brought me immense joy! I will treat and care for your dog as if they were a part of my family. I am very reliable and responsible, and I have transportation available for pick-up and drop-off if needed. I would be delighted to take care of your pet! I work from home most of the times and have a pretty flexible schedule! I usually walk my in the morning and before sunset every day, each around 30 minutes, but could increase the frequency if your dog needed! I have a fenced yard, and there are 2 dog parks near my house, I usually let my dog plays there. The dogs in the park I meet are all super friendly! Besides, I have plenty of toys and treats in the house.
“We had the best experience with Alex - our dog loved him and he was very accommodating, his property is great for dogs. He went above and beyond and we are looking forward to our next visit. Alex was a great guy to meet!”
About: Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit while you're at work, or a comfortable place to stay while you're away, I'd love to help! I truly enjoy caring for dogs and treat every one as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages, but I especially love working with senior dogs. I'm patient, understand that older dogs often need a slower pace, and I'm comfortable giving medications and following special care routines. During walks, I focus on your dog's individual needs, whether that's an energetic adventure or a slow, relaxed stroll. For drop-in visits, I'll make sure your dog gets fresh water, meals, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention. If your dog is boarding with me, they'll be treated like part of the family, with lots of love, exercise, and a safe, comfortable environment. There's nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a happy dog. My goal is always to give you peace of mind, knowing your dog is in caring, dependable hands while you're away.

Pets are always on my daily routine, with plenty of time to spend playing with them as well. I have a fenced in yard, I have 3 dogs that get a long with others upon meeting. I have a big house, lots of gates if for whatever reasons they may need to be gated off. Plenty of dog beds for them to sleep on . :) We have gates on our deck, so there is no chance of a dog running off.

I adore animals and have two dogs of my own back home. I have great communication and I am willing to send regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. I read and respond to signals that animals give attentively so your pets will be in great hands! I am looking forward to caring for your homes and pets.
