“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”
“Thank you Elizabeth, for taking such great care of our boy Max. He requires extra attention due to his separation anxiety. You treated him like he was your own, allowing him to be a lap dog as big as he is. He loves to be next to people. You provided us with pictures and updates on how he was doing. We enjoyed our trip, knowing he was being well taken care of. Elizabeth, you went out of your way to help us stay calm when our flight was significantly delayed. We will definitely use your services again.”
“Denise was great with my dog. She constantly sent me pictures of my puppy, and he always seemed happy. Would definitely recommend her and use her services in the future.”
“La Tasha always takes care of Ace as if he is her own. I don’t know what I’d ever do if she wasn’t available to watch my Ace. Very caring and loving environment. Love the checkins and updates”
“Lindsay is amazing! I took a trip abroad and left my fur babies in her care while I was away and I couldn't be happier with the service she provided. Lindsay is very responsive and provided pictures and updates without me ever having to ask. I highly recommend her for your boarding needs. I will most definitely be sending my babies back to her for future trips.”
“Thank you so much to Ms. Anika! She is the best! She has been watching our furbaby for about 4 years now and I don’t know what we would do without her. Her love and care allowed us to have a 9 day worry free family vacation❤️”
“Lilian was so kind and welcoming! I loved that she kept me updated everyday with pictures and videos. She took such great care of my puppy Nova over the weekend. Nova had so much fun running around she came home and went to bed 😂. We will definitely be back! Thank you!!”
“This was my first time using this type of service, it was great to not have to board my girl especially since she requires insulin shots twice a day. Bobbi and her husband came twice a day during Christmas and were great with her.”
About: As a child I've grown up with multiple animals as animals as pets, including a few dogs and a few cats. Professionally, I've had four total years taking care of different animals, which includes supervising dogs as well as helping various animals such as cats, guinea pigs, and other animals get adopted. I have had general experience feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, and over all playing with and supervising dogs. I also have had experience taking care of elderly and disabled animals, which includes but is not limited to a 19 year old cat with arthritis and kidney disease. I have experience giving animals oral medications at the correct times and have been consistently. As of right now, I am offering house sitting, drop-ins and dog walking. As of right now, all seven days of the week are generally free for me and I am home most of the time. However, there may be some days where I'm not available, such as certain holidays or family events. If something happens where I can't take care of your animal(s) (such as an emergency), I'll try to let you know ahead of time. I'll always keep your animals supervised regardless of whatever service I'm doing at the time. If your animal takes medications, I'll administer them at the correct times.
“Jen and her husband were the BEST! We had a rocky start with Bronx adjusting to the change, but after day 1, it seemed everything fell into place. Jen sent pictures and updates and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to care for your fur baby like it’s their own.”
“Kelly and Maurice are more than awesome. I know that Zuri will be well care for and loved when I have to leave town. They treat her like family. They send videos and pics for reassurance that things are going well. I appreciate their professionalism and true dedication. They implemented some changes for their customers based on what they observed from my experience with them. That is more than customer service, that’s customer satisfaction. They are an A1 service all the way around.”
“Stephanie provided exceptional care for our dog, allowing us to do a meet and greet with her and her dog, maintaining clear and consistent communication throughout the stay. Her daily "pupdates" gave us peace of mind, and we highly recommend her services. The bath before coming home was also an unexpected bonus!”
“I can’t thank Tanita & Terrence enough for taking such great care of my fur baby. He was so sad to leave. I believe Sage had more fun than I did on his weekend getaway 😆”
“Latte had a great stay with Monica and her fur babies. This was the first time we left our pet. She has a good process for drop off and getting to know our dog, understanding her needs, feeding, etc. and meeting other dogs. She was very attentive and made sure to communicate and send several pictures each day. We were excited to get our puppy mail and see how Latte was doing. She took great care of our baby. I hope to use her again if I have boarding needs in the future.”
“Kelly is a complete life-saver. My family has had a vacation planned for almost a year. The day before we left, I reached out to the dog sitter (NOT KELLY) and was ghosted. She never responded or replied. At 9pm, the night before my vacation, with a departure time of 8am, I was in a panic. Kelly was very quick to respond, she answered all my questions and even worked with me to find a way to get our pup to her since we were leaving too early to drop them off. While our dog was there, Kelly sent constant updates and photos. Her and her husband truly enjoyed watching my dog and it made me so comfortable knowing she was in good hands. She has a large fence in backyard which was perfect for my dog, and her dog River is an absolute sweetheart! My dog was EXHAUSTED for days after because she had so much fun at Kelly's. I truly can not recommend her enough. She is 100% my go to for doggie care now! Thank you for everything Kelly!”

“Ashley was a wonderful sitter for our 3 cats. She quickly learned what each one liked and appealed to each one's sensibilities. Ashley also shared many great photos, and generally went an extra step in every regard to make sure our pets were taking care of and our home remained tidy. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you Vanessa for taking such great care of all of our kitties! I’m sure they will miss you. Great with the cats and made sure they were taken care of while we were away. Prompt with visits and sent lots of pics to us. ♥️ Definitely will use again!”
About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life, I’ve had them for as long as I can remember and currently care for five of my own. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with all types of feline personalities, from social and playful to shy, independent, or anxious. I understand that cats need a different kind of care than dogs. I pay close attention to their body language, respect their boundaries, and let them warm up at their own pace. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime/enrichment, and making sure their environment stays clean and low-stress. I’m also used to multi-cat households, so I understand dynamics like separate feeding, monitoring behavior changes, and making sure each cat feels safe and comfortable. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers space, I’ll meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel secure while you’re away.
“Lindsay was great with our two cats when we went out of town for Thanksgiving. She took tons of photos and the cats really seemed to like her. We would definitely book her again if we ever needed someone! 😊”
“There’s nothing like traveling and worrying the entire time! I was hesitant to use this app and I wasn’t having any luck finding a sitter…until I came across Emily! She kept me informed everyday! My fur babies were in such a better mood when I came home. They are usually boarded and that was not the best environment for them. It would take them days to resettle in at home. Thanks to Emily they were very well cared for! I will rebook for sure!!!!”
“Took great care of the cats, including one very high maintenance 18+ kitty who frequently has litter box issues and has daily meds. Jessie C. kept the box (and the cat’s accidents) cleaned up and cats well looked after.”
“Stephanie was perfect for our kitty. She provided all the care and attention angel needed and we got cute pictures and updates each day. We could not be more pleased and will be asking Stephanie to come back next vacation.”
“Amanda was a wonderful kitty sitter. She was very attentive to all kitties, providing extra attention to a senior kitty. Followed feeding and cleaning instructions carefully. Very trustworthy and reliable.”
About: I’ve lived in a multi-cat household for over 25 years and have cared for cats from a wide range of backgrounds, including shelter adoptions, strays, and cats who needed to be rehomed after losing their owners. I’m experienced with shy and senior cats, and I understand the patience and consistency they need to feel safe and comfortable. I also pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and litter box habits—because small changes can matter with cats.
“Kendal was very prompt and made sure to give my animals plenty of attention. She also communicated with me of there were any issues. Highly recommend and will be requesting her services in the future.”
About: Hey there! I’ve been caring for animals for over 25 years…or really, my whole life! From dogs and cats to birds, hamsters, bearded dragons, and even fish, I’ve shared my life with animals of all kinds. I currently live with four cats who have taught me even more about patience, play, and intuitive communication. I’ve also helped friends with pet care, walked dogs of all sizes, and provided loving attention to pets while their humans were away. Animals tend to gravitate toward me, and I feel deeply connected to them. I believe in meeting each animal where they are, tuning into their energy, and ensuring they feel safe, seen, and nurtured. Whether it’s a playful walk, cozy check-in visit, or overnight care, I’m committed to showing up with love, attentiveness, and a calm, grounded presence. Your pet will be treated like one of my own!
“Emily did a great job taking care of my cat during a recent mini-vacation - she visited each day I was gone, followed the feeding routine I had described for her and sent photos. It was great to have the peace of mind that my cat was well taken care of - thanks Emily!”
“Kirsten is the bomb! Completely trustworthy and honest. I am so happy we found her and will deffinetly be using her from here forward. My dog and my family think she is the best!”

About: I've been a dog owner for over 20 years and was a foster parent for a San Diego based rescue group for over 3. I currently volunteer as a dog walker at a local Southern Maryland rescue and also foster with them as well. Our family has cared for, trained and assisted with the adoption of many different breeds from small to large and all ages, puppies less than 12 weeks included. In addition we puppy raise and train service dogs for a non-profit organization based out of NY. Pets bring so much love and joy to our lives and deserve the best care when we are away. I can promise they will receive the same love and attention as if you were home yourself. Current pet is a 13 year old yellow lab and pointer mix that we've had since he was 12 weeks old. He loves long walks, swimming in any body of water and snuggling with his cat brother, Tucker. In addition we have a 2 year old beagle that nothing but fun. References are available upon request. I work remotely and am home during the day. This allows me flexibility to care my own fur-children and yours from either my home or yours. I have a large fenced yard, friendly pups, a dog room and plenty of crates. We often crate and rotate to make sure our pups get enough one on one and would do the same for yours.
About: Hi friend! I am an animal lover through and through and, as a freelancer new to the Bay Area, I’d love to better utilize my flexibility by being a compassionate resource to those pups who need some extra love, attention, support, exercise or fresh air when you’re simply not as available as you wish you could be. I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther before he went to heaven. I look forward to lightening your load and showing your pet the same love and attention I’d show my own! Availability flexible for now, may be more restricted in the future. I look forward to meeting your pup, please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions at all. ♥️
About: Iv been a dog owner since I was a kid. I love them and they love me. I have two now, Buddy (5) and Lucy (3.5) they are brother and sister GSP’s. My fur babies. I’m a stay at home mom for the most part. I do work two days a week as a caregiver. I’m currently only working outside of my home part time. Two days a week as a caregiver. I’m a full time mom to my 10 year old son and of course, Buddy and Lucy ;-) I have a fenced in yard and two friendly fur babies of my own that yours can play with. I have a doggie door so they can go out as they wish to potty, just to go get some fresh air or sniff around for fun. I can also easily crate your dog if wanted/needed.
“Jake is conscientious, kind and obviously loves dogs. His detailed reports and photos kept me informed and I think the dogs really enjoyed his company. He’s a busy guy and I appreciate that he could fit us in this week! Will request him again in the future.”
About: I have had dogs in my household ever since I was a little girl. I have had a chocolate lab, boxer mix, basset hound, German shepard, pit bull, and now Mr. Oakley who is a lab/pit mix. I love to bond and care for fur babies and I enjoy playing and loving on them any chance I can get. Hi! I’m currently a full-time teacher in Anne Arundel County and an experienced caregiver who loves spending time with animals. My background in education has made me responsible, communicative, and dependable. Starting in June, I’ll have a much more flexible schedule as I transition from teaching, allowing me to offer more availability for walks and drop-ins. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I care for my pets in my home by making sure their food and water bowls are always full and fresh. I make sure that my dog gets some outdoor playtime each day to burn off his energy and to be able to stay healthy and to help us bond together. I love to spoil my dog with homemade popsicles, treats, and yogurt bars are his favorite! My dog loves to have all attention on him and he is a sucker for a belly rub followed by jumping in your bed to snuggle with you.

“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”
“Thank you Elizabeth, for taking such great care of our boy Max. He requires extra attention due to his separation anxiety. You treated him like he was your own, allowing him to be a lap dog as big as he is. He loves to be next to people. You provided us with pictures and updates on how he was doing. We enjoyed our trip, knowing he was being well taken care of. Elizabeth, you went out of your way to help us stay calm when our flight was significantly delayed. We will definitely use your services again.”
“Denise was great with my dog. She constantly sent me pictures of my puppy, and he always seemed happy. Would definitely recommend her and use her services in the future.”
“Lindsay is amazing! I took a trip abroad and left my fur babies in her care while I was away and I couldn't be happier with the service she provided. Lindsay is very responsive and provided pictures and updates without me ever having to ask. I highly recommend her for your boarding needs. I will most definitely be sending my babies back to her for future trips.”
“Lilian was so kind and welcoming! I loved that she kept me updated everyday with pictures and videos. She took such great care of my puppy Nova over the weekend. Nova had so much fun running around she came home and went to bed 😂. We will definitely be back! Thank you!!”
“This was my first time using this type of service, it was great to not have to board my girl especially since she requires insulin shots twice a day. Bobbi and her husband came twice a day during Christmas and were great with her.”
“Jen and her husband were the BEST! We had a rocky start with Bronx adjusting to the change, but after day 1, it seemed everything fell into place. Jen sent pictures and updates and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to care for your fur baby like it’s their own.”
“Stephanie provided exceptional care for our dog, allowing us to do a meet and greet with her and her dog, maintaining clear and consistent communication throughout the stay. Her daily "pupdates" gave us peace of mind, and we highly recommend her services. The bath before coming home was also an unexpected bonus!”
“I can’t thank Tanita & Terrence enough for taking such great care of my fur baby. He was so sad to leave. I believe Sage had more fun than I did on his weekend getaway 😆”
“Kelly is a complete life-saver. My family has had a vacation planned for almost a year. The day before we left, I reached out to the dog sitter (NOT KELLY) and was ghosted. She never responded or replied. At 9pm, the night before my vacation, with a departure time of 8am, I was in a panic. Kelly was very quick to respond, she answered all my questions and even worked with me to find a way to get our pup to her since we were leaving too early to drop them off. While our dog was there, Kelly sent constant updates and photos. Her and her husband truly enjoyed watching my dog and it made me so comfortable knowing she was in good hands. She has a large fence in backyard which was perfect for my dog, and her dog River is an absolute sweetheart! My dog was EXHAUSTED for days after because she had so much fun at Kelly's. I truly can not recommend her enough. She is 100% my go to for doggie care now! Thank you for everything Kelly!”
“Bianca was wonderful with our fur baby. She was proactive in keeping us informed on how Heaven was doing and sent us plenty of pictures. Heaven definitely enjoyed herself. We will definitely use her again.”
“Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.”
“Kerry and her family took amazing care of my dog Briggs while I was out of town. I got loads of adorable pictures, and he was returned groomed and fluffy with a new bandana. I highly recommend them and will be reaching out again when I travel.”
“Aleah is absolutely amazing. I expressed how nervous i was leaving my fur baby and she instantly eased my nerves. I can really tell she cared for my pet. She sent me pictures keeping me updated during his whole stay. I will 100% be booking with her again & i recommend anyone looking for a sitter to chose her!”
“Brittany and her family were fantastic! Mocha and Luna had an absolute blast, and we could tell for days after that they had plenty of play time. Will use again in future if available!”
“I was very pleased with the care my fur babies received from Nick and Cici. I got updates and photos of them and I could see how comfortable they were in their home. It made me feel good to leave them and I know I will let them stay again! My babies were treated like they were a part of a new loving family environment and that warms my heart.”
“Dee, is a great caretaker for Jax. She’s always willing to assist. She takes great care of him monitoring his eating and taking him on walks. Dee keeps us informed and constantly communicates with us while Jax is in her care.”
