About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.
“Kimberly is the best, she took such great care of my Neco. She cared for him for 6 days through the Thanksgiving Holiday. She sent me great pictures and videos of him daily. She is a true dog lover. I will definitely be booking her again to care for my dog.”
“Our two year old mini schnauzer has stayed with Ken and Felice (and the boys) many times now since he was a young pup for as short as day care or one night to two weeks this time. He loves going there and is excited to see the family each and every time. They are very good about keeping us updated on his stay and is extremely well cared for at their home. Felice and family are the best!!!!!”
“Kelly and her husband are simply amazing. From booking to post-pick-up, their communication was clear and timely. During Leo's stay with them, Kelly sent me photos, videos, and update comments numerous times throughout the day. It made a huge difference for me and my daughter (9 yo) who missed Leo very much during our trip. They were so warm and kind to Leo, and I could tell that they truly cared for the pet they were looking after. They took Leo to exciting walks, let him play off leach in their backyard, and cuddled with him. I know they've done all of this because they send me so many pictures. Leo looked very comfortable and content in the photos and videos. I highly recommend Kelly and her husband!!!”
“Steven is a great person to work with and I have peace of mind knowing our rambunctious golden retriever Daisy is in a good place with him. He a good communicator and is able to be flexible with the needs of our dog and our schedule and work with us on trying to improve the environment and experience for both himself and Daisy. He has a beautiful fenced in backyard and is a seasoned veteran when it comes to dog behavior and health issues. I would highly recommend him for caring for your dog.”
“Nino had a great time with Chris and Dante! It was his first time with a new Rover which always makes me a little nervous but she gave periodic and unprompted updates with pics which I appreciate and put me at ease. Will definitely have Nino stay with her again!”
“Casey and Marwa are the BEST! They spoiled our large dog Indiana to no end with multiple long walks every day, playtime, cuddles, and even grooming. There was plenty of space to roam freely in the house. They posted many pictures and videos every day. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly! Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”
“Ariel took amazing care of Fluffy! She took him on lots of walks and treated him like a king. When I came to pick him up after a week away, he seemed like he might have preferred staying with her 😂”
“Mila was an amazing dog sitter for my dog, Coco, over two nights. She was incredibly communicative, keeping me updated and reassured throughout Coco’s stay. Mila gave Coco all the attention and care she needed, making her feel right at home. It’s clear she’s not only professional but also a genuinely loving person who truly cares about the animals she looks after. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Mila to anyone looking for someone to take excellent care of their pet!”

“Bronte is simply the best! She’s super qualified, super responsible, and super kind! We were able to relax and enjoy our time away even more thanks to her prompt reports and adorable photos of our furry family members. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Claire was so great with my cat, Joseph. She responded on short notice and sent updates while she was caring for my pet. Would recommend her to anybody looking for a pet sitter.”
“Thank you for doing a great job, Sophie! My 8 year old DSH cat named Scooby is very skittish and hides whenever anyone comes into our home. Sophie was very respectful of that and didn't try to entice him to come out from hiding (which is what I preferred). Sophie sent me updates with photos each time she completed a drop-in and followed all my instructions. I left for vacation knowing thst Scooby was in good hands. I would highly recommend Sophie to anyone desiring pet care.”
“Keira did a fantastic job with our shy cats. I felt confident that they were looked after and taken care of Keira will be the first one I call for out of town trips in the future.”
“Riley was awesome! She came over a few days before to get the lay of the land and attempt to meet my cat (she hid and I still have no idea where she was hiding). Suzie did eventually warm up to Riley and even sat in the same room as her! I will be using Riley again!”
“Grateful to Tabitha for taking care of Luna and Oliver while we were out of town! Luna was happy for the company and both cats were well taken care of during the visit.”
About: I’ve cared for cats belonging to friends, family members, and clients throughout my life, and I’ve always enjoyed spending time with felines. While I haven’t personally owned a cat, I’ve gained experience interacting with cats of different ages, personalities, and comfort levels. I understand that every cat is unique—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm, respectful approach. My goal is to make sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Haile responded on very short notice and was great with my cat, Joseph. She sent photos and updates which made me feel very comfortable and gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking for a sitter.”
“Christine did an outstanding job caring for my two fur babies. She ensured they always had food and clean litter and consistently provided photos as promised on the scheduled dates and times throughout the week. I highly recommend her services for reliable and attentive pet care.”
“Bito is hands-down terrific! Really went above and beyond. Clearly won over the hearts of our cats, and even convinced our shy recluse to allow some pets — very impressed! I would trust Bito to cat sit or house sit without any reservation whatsoever. Highly recommend without any reservation whatsoever. Bito left my house cleaner than when I left for vacation, and watered my plants too :)”
“Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️”
“Christine took care of Widge while I had to be away for a few days. She was awesome and provided regular updates and photos, and took the time to make sure my kitty felt well cared for and didn't feel lonely. :)”
About: I have watched cats before and have loved getting to meet them! I have helped feed cats while their owners have been away. I would love to get to meet your fluffy friend and take care of them, whether it’s just stopping by to put out their food and change their little box or stay with them overnight.
About: I love dogs and I work with lots of different dogs. I have done home stays for a few days and also a week. I take the dogs for walks and play with them and make they are feed and also make them feel safe when their owner is not home. Working with dogs brings joy to my life and I love seeing the dogs happy too. I am a very positive, happy, joyous person. I am a great dog walker and dog sitter ypu would have. You will not regret any of the services that I will provide for you and your dog. Also I can take dogs to their vet appointment or grooming appointment if you need me to do so. I love working with dogs.
“Susan took great care of our two cats! I felt so good knowing that Susan was giving them plenty of food, water, and affection, too! Would definitely recommend Susan to a friend looking for a responsible and loving caretaker.”
“Stephanie took amazing care of my cat! Not only did she make sure he had food/ water/ clean litterbox, she also hung out with him a bit and gave him love. Will definitely use her again!”

“Kassandra was absolutely magnificent! Super kind, caring, and incredibly gentle with Chloe. I’m beyond grateful for the thoughtful, detailed care she provided. She’s truly a wonderful human, and Chloe already adores her. Thank you so much!”
“My pup, Yumi, had a great time with Melanie and her pup. It was our first time doing a daycare service with Yumi but Melanie was very attentive and sweet to my Yumi. She was also very accommodating when my schedule had to change a bit as well and i greatly appreciate that. I felt comfortable and safe leaving Mr fur baby in her hands and would definitely book again in the future.”
“Rodney and Marissa are wonderful! They took such good care of my Benji. Benji is rather shy and does not have many opportunities to socialize with other animals. When I told Rodney about this he assured me that they would help Benji to be comfortable around their pets, and they did just that. They sent photos of Benji running in the yard with his new furry friend. They also made sure that Benji stayed on his eating and napping schedule. Benji will definitely be visiting Rodney and Marissa again.”
“We’ve had all five star experiences. We have a mini doodle who has anxiety and she got more and more comfortable with each stay. Our girl loves being outside and there is plenty of space to explore. Lots of communication and feedback. Highly recommend!”
“Kelly took amazing care of our puppy Murphy!! She sent me many photos and videos throughout the day, she took the dogs on long walks and gave them lots of playtime, she made sure my puppy had time to take a nap, and she was very responsive. Kelly and her dog Callie are incredibly sweet and I give them my highest recommendation!! We hope that Murphy will return to play soon!”
“Cashadena loves Victoria and is always eager to see her! Great yard space for the pups and very helpful, non judgmental support during a really difficult time for us.”
“Lingli came through for our last minute doggy daycare needs and we are grateful! She was consistently responsive over messages, and was very sweet to our small dog, Gary, during their meet and greet, gently letting him get used to her. He was excited to see her again when we returned for drop off a couple days later. We appreciated the photos of his stay and know he was well looked after.”
“Brittanie and Ryan were super welcoming and their house is set up amazingly well for dogs. I love how they made sure my dog was a good fit for their family so that everyone is happy!”
“Shannon is such a sweet person as well as she is very flexible and communicative. She has been available for us in a pinch, takes good care of our pup and sends photos and updates even during short stays. I’m so grateful to have found her!”
About: We have watched pets for many years and take your furry friend into the family and treat them like royalty! They will be getting tons of attention & TLC. My spouse is home during the day and once our kids get home from school, your pet will enjoy even more love, playtime, and social interaction from our whole family. We offer supervision throughout the day, follow your pet’s feeding schedule, provide daily walks through our quiet neighborhood, and offer a cozy, clean indoor environment with plenty of love, play, and rest. Your pet becomes part of the family while they’re here.
“Carolina was amazing with our 12 week old puppy AND communicating with us. Lots of updates and pics and our pup came back very happy. Also very flexible with our schedule which was awesome. Will definitely be asking her to watch our pup again!”
“Robin made it really easy to drop my dog off and pick him up. He had a great playdate while we were going out for lunch. Robin sent lots of cute pictures and videos.”
“Robyn was great! She was dependable, reliable, and easy to work with. We did have a slight scheduling conflict on one occasion, but sometimes life can get in the way and that is understandable. Best wishes and many successes to you, Robyn!”
“Sergey was very accommodating and courteous. He took great care of my pups. Tired them out with the walks and gave them some TLC throughout their stay. I will be a repeat customer the next time we are in the area!!”
About: With 15 years of pet ownership, I pride myself on being patient, reliable, and communicative. I'm a pet owner too, so I know how important it is to stick to your pet's routine and send plenty of updates so you can relax. As a graduate student, I have a very flexible schedule. My campus is only a 10-minute drive away, which means I can easily come home to check on your pet every 2-4 hours, or as often as needed. My neighborhood has plenty of green spaces and safe areas, perfect for long walks and playtime. My home features a secure, fenced-in backyard with plenty of grass, giving your pet a safe space to play and take comfortable potty breaks. I have a friendly, 5-year-old Siberian Husky who loves making new friends. For everyone's safety, he is neutered and kept completely up-to-date on all vaccinations and routine care. I also have an XL dog crate available for your dog's use if that is part of their normal routine.

My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own.

About: I'm honest, ethical, and moral and seek to be in service to the beautiful animal kingdom who don't have a voice, relying on us for loving care to always keep them safe.

Dog walking is where my attention and energy will be directed. I'm very flexible in my routine in this way. I will care for your animals in the same loving way I care for my own. I will see that they're not just walked, but given the love and attention you would provide them with.

About: Hi, I’m Haile! I’ve taken care of pets ranging from cats and dogs, to other animals.

For dogs, I’m experienced with walking, feeding schedules, play, and handling. I always focus on making pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their humans are away! I also have experience handling hedgehogs, including feeding, cleaning cages, and handling them gently and correctly.
