They helped to ease my anxiety by having a pet met and greet, during my 5 day trip, they sent me pictures of my doggy, and my dog had a great visit all because of Emily and Will. I am so grateful for their compassion, patience, and empathetic pet sitters. I will use Emily and Will for future petsitting needs. You will be pleased with their services!!”

I definitely will contact Paris again if I need to board my little Doxie again.”
“Alice has done a great job taking care of my two pups. She was caring and provided us with timely updates, photos, and videos.

“Thais was amazing. She kept me updated with Onyx while I was away on a last minute trip. Onyx was having major meltdown and bad separation anxieties.. Thais communicated to me what he was doing & I explained why I felt he was going thru. She lovingly helped him thru it and even cuddled with him to calm him down.

“Calvyn was great with our 2 cats plus we trusted him to stay overnight while we were away for 2 nights. Our cats have certain behaviors, like our male likes a lot of attention and he likes to drink out of the faucet. Calvyn paid attention to both. Calvyn communicated regularly to tell us his schedule and accommodated our request to bring in delivered packages. Our house was left exactly how we left it and with a perfectly clean litter box. He notified us when he was leaving and sent us pictures so we could see what they were up to while we were traveling home. We highly recommend Calvyn and will hire him again.”

“Thanks to Jessica for taking care of our two dogs (5-year-old Max and 5-month-old Charlie) while we went to dinner and a show. She was super communicative and sent lots of photos to let us know the dogs were having a good time. She even took our puppy to the dog park to let him burn off some energy. It’s clear both pups had fun!”

“Vincent was very accommodating and responded quickly to my last minute request. He came out to greet us and the pups were comfortable with him immediately. He was very friendly and made sure everyone was harnessed and leashed for the short trip from the car to the fence. He has a nice fenced area for them to play and sent cute videos and photos. The pups appeared to have a great time and especially enjoyed their playtime with his two dachshunds! I will definitely use him again for daycare and drop-in visits.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. Taking care of pets is something I truly enjoy and do with love and attention. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and bathe their dogs for years. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, and I treat every pet like part of the family. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I enjoy caring for animals and easily make time in my routine to walk, feed, and give them attention. I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on time, walked regularly, and given lots of love and attention. Whether in my home or the client’s, I keep the environment safe, clean, and comfortable.
“Kierstyn was so kind and communicative! She sent me multiple updates throughout the day and made me feel comfortable leaving my pup with her for day care. Would love to book with her in the future!”

“Jill is always absolutely amazing to work with! Luna loves Jill and she feels right at home every time she goes over for pet sitting! Thank God for Jill and her gifts to connect and treat my furbaby like family!! I love the pics, videos and updates throughout the day!! Just PERFECTION!!!”
About: I have raised both of my dogs! I also had a rescue before them and found a puppy and cared for it in 2019. I think for me even finding pet care for my own babies, I struggle to actually find people I can fully trust that they fervently would prevent anything from happening to them and care is easy and enjoyable for them. I currently am building my own other business from home so I have lots of availability! I travel for the business around the city so I dont mind driving at all. I of course do have to juggle my own pups, and schedule in general but I am a very SHOW UP type person! 🙌🏽❤️ I have a small fenced in yard where I pick up the waste 2x a day. I am pretty OCD, and live clean, but you know how it is with dogs. My dogs play all day together and I already walk them 1 long walk a day and lots of playtime outside and inside. My pups would either have to come with me, or you come to us. Millo my patchy white one is a bumblebee! He gets along with all dogs, he is fixed. Graceyn will soon be fixed, I would never have dogs here if she was in heat, but because she’s Border Collie/Aussie sometimes she’s my challenge child. We go to the dog park multiple times a week and she does great, so only will retaliate if shes given a reason to, but she’s an absolute lovey girl. I am very capable of walking multiple dogs. Graceyn gets so excited on the leash she is a little bit reactive, but I can walk Millo and a guest dog for example.
“Anitra was so supportive in taking my pup for an early drop off, it was great to see Sydney at the dog park right next to her home while I was studying for a big exam. Highly recommend her!”
“Sara sent me bunches of pictures throughout the day and updates. She also checked in with me when he wasn't eating and made sure to see what she needed to do. I will definitely be sending charlie there again!”
About: I’ve trained a 1-year-old Doberman and lived with a Pomeranian and Shiba Inu for several years as their daily companion. I've also had a full course of private training sessions (1 on 1) with Petsmart trainer, so I am very adept at making sure your dog is comfortable and well taken care of. From feeding to playtime, I was involved in every part of their care. I have a calm, friendly energy that dogs naturally gravitate toward—it’s like magic how quickly they bond with me! I combine hands-on training experience with daily companionship, giving me insight into each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic play or gentle senior care, I adapt with ease and genuine love. Dogs don’t just tolerate me—they truly enjoy being around me. I will always take pictures and videos and send them to owners frequently, to make sure your pets are enjoying every moment with me. My wife and I like to keep a very clean house to make sure all visiting dogs have a comfortable environment. I am working from home remotely, so the timing is pretty flexible to take care of dogs any time on weekday or weekends, day and night. Whether in my home or yours, your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with no hazards, and I always follow your care instructions closely—meals, walks, meds, and routines. I build trust through calm, respectful handling and constant supervision. I make sure pets feel secure, loved, and part of the family, whether they’re here for the day or overnight.
“My Prince had such a wonderful time during his short visit with Anirban, his wife and fur baby Dave! Prince didn’t want to leave and I’m so happy he enjoyed his time! I will definitely be rebooking - highly recommended! Thank you for the updates and prompt communication! I will be in touch soon!”
About: I'm not a professional with fancy certifications, but I am a dog person. I owned and raised my pit mix from puppyhood for 13 years—so I know what it takes to care for a dog properly, keep them happy, and build real trust. The biggest advantage? I work from home. That means while I'm watching your dog, they're never alone for long stretches. They get consistent attention, regular breaks outside, and someone who actually cares about their wellbeing—not just a checkbox on a care log. Your dog won't just be watched; they'll be treated like they matter to me, because they will. I work from home, which is the real game-changer here. Pet sitting isn't a side hustle for me—it's something I can genuinely fit into my day without it feeling rushed or like a checklist. When I'm watching your dog, I can check in throughout the day, take them out for bathroom breaks, keep them company during work calls (the calm kind), and make sure they're getting the attention they need. No long gaps where they're waiting alone wondering when someone's coming back. It's flexible too. I can work around your schedule—early morning, afternoons, weekends—because I'm home anyway. Your dog gets consistency and care without me having to squeeze them into an already-packed day. In my home: Your dog gets a safe, comfortable space where they're never alone for long. I work from home, so I'm there throughout the day—letting them out for bathroom breaks, keeping them company, and making sure they have water and a calm environment. They'll be treated like they're part of my routine, not an inconvenience. In your home: I respect your space and your dog's routine. I follow your instructions on feeding, walking, medication, or anything else specific to your dog's needs. I'll send updates so you know exactly what's happening, and I treat your home with the same care I'd want for mine. Either way: Safety and trust are everything to me. I know what it's like to care deeply about a dog—I had mine for 13 years. Your dog won't just be fed and let outside; they'll get genuine attention and someone who actually notices if something's off.
About: This is like a dream come true, my love for dogs and animals in general started with my first dog named Prince! He was so loveable. He’d come up to you and hug like a human! He was trained by me and loved to just be around family! That’s how all my dogs are and even dogs of family and friends. Thanks for stopping by look forward to taking care of your fur baby Work from home so I have plenty of time for walks and play time. I enjoy it because it’s more time to have fun and enjoy the outdoors Every member of the family is different. Each one has its own personality. So feel free to let me know what makes them happy! That’s my goal!

“Debora did an amazing job caring for our 3 year old golden retriever willow during her walks! She used great judgement and always made sure she had access to fresh water. She helped with keeping our home clean and treated our space with great respect. She was communicative and flexible, and we would love to work with her again!”
“Lori went above and beyond our expectations! I’m so grateful we found her and already have her booked for dog walking the next two weeks. She was highly communicative, sent many photos, and took great care of our dog who can be quite vocal but she seemed to handle the barking just fine :) my dog clearly adores her!”
About: I’ve always loved caring for animals! In high school, I regularly pet sat for both dogs and cats, including overnight stays, so I’m comfortable with different routines and personalities. I also have a cat of my own, Squirt, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. As a recent college graduate, I have a flexible schedule and will always go the extra mile to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and feel loved while you’re away. Whether that means sticking to their routine, giving them plenty of playtime and attention, or sending you photo updates for peace of mind, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. As a recent college graduate, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m currently taking time off before starting work with my degree, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening visits, walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight stays. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so making sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for is something I genuinely look forward to every day I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. As a cat owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet.

“Sarahbelle was responsive and helpful during our initial engagement. Unfortunately, our plans changed at the last minute so I did not get to meet her but I will absolutely seek her out in the future if she’ll have us!”
About: As a healthcare professional, I understand the importance of patience, reliability, and paying close attention to individual needs. I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my own senior dog, so I'm comfortable following detailed routines, administering medications when needed, and giving extra attention to older pets or those with special needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants a calm companion, I'll tailor my care to their personality and routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet.

About: I treat all animals like family! I’m a dedicated dog mom of nearly 10 years with hands-on experience caring for friends’ and family’s pets. I’ve raised my own pup from 6 weeks old and am comfortable with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet seniors. My Boston/Jack Russell mix keeps me active, so we’re always walking, playing, and staying engaged. We both love meeting new furry friends and making them feel right at home! I have a hybrid work schedule, so I work from home multiple days per week (Tues, Thurs, Fri). I have the flexibility to drop by for visits/walks during work hours while you're away, as well as most weeknights. On weekdays I am available for either 2, 30 min drop in/walks or 1 hour long visit. You are welcome to drop your doggo off at my place during those times as well. Ideally, I'm looking for a few repeat clients so I can really get to know your fur child. I have a nice apartment in a quiet, residential neighborhood with a large, enclosed backyard. My dog Felix loves playing with new friends. We play ball, take walks, and have plenty of indoor toys for when it's too hot out.
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I had two Pomeranians who were like siblings to me — one of them still lives with my mom, and visiting her always reminds me how much joy a dog brings into a home. Over the years, I've cared for many of my friends' dogs across every life stage, from playful puppies to gentle seniors, and somehow they always warm up to me quickly. I think it's because I see every dog as their own little person, with real feelings and needs. I pay close attention to their moods, never leave them alone too long, and treat them with the same respect I'd give a human friend. I currently work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. Your pup can get 3+ walks a day on the large grassy lawn right outside my building, and since we have an elevator, I'm happy to host senior dogs or pups with mobility issues — no stairs to worry about. I work from home full-time, which means I'm with the dogs almost all day — they're never alone for long stretches. My schedule is very flexible: I can take 3+ walks a day, fit in midday play sessions and feeding times, and easily accommodate medication schedules or special routines. I'm available for boarding any day of the week, including overnights, and happy to send photo and video updates throughout the day so you always know how your pup is doing. My home is a clean, quiet, and pet-friendly apartment with a spacious layout and plenty of natural light. Right outside the building is a large grassy lawn, perfect for daily walks, sniff time, and play — and we have an elevator, so seniors or pups with mobility issues don't need to worry about stairs. Inside, I keep things calm and consistent: regular feeding times, cozy resting spots, and a watchful eye on anything that could be a hazard. I always meet new dogs slowly and let them set the pace as they settle in, and I'm happy to follow any specific instructions or routines you'd like me to keep.
“Sriya is so patient with Barney's "quirks". She not afraid to step in for him to get to know her and is firm when she needs to be. So thankful to find a walker/pet sitter willing to work slow in gaining his trust!”
“Cynthia is a true gem! I mistakenly drove three hours out of town with my dogs harness and leash in my car! I reached out to Cynthia and she was so kind and was able to locate a leash very last minute for my girl. I cannot thank you enough! You are amazing!”
About: I always had dogs growing up (mainly German Shepards). Now I have a puppy (half Lab half GSD) who loves people. I have also helped my friends care for their dogs when they had to go out of town or had an extended day. I figured now is a good time to expand the help. Typically, I have an open morning and flexible work hours. I'm free a lot on weekends. I'm happy to work with you on times that fit your needs. Most ideal for dogs that needs a weekday walk and/or food and water. I listen to what you need for your pets. Let me know what you typically do to care for your pet and I'll do my best to do the same.
“Bianca was a perfect help and super communicative asking any clarifying questions to make sure my pup got the best care possible! HIGHLY recommend and will absolutely work with again :)”
About: Lifelong animal lover prepared to care for your shy & senior pets! I've cared for animals most of my life going back to my mom's elementary school classroom. I have 13 years of adult pet ownership experience: 4 dogs & 3 cats of my own plus 1 rehoming within my family. I have personally fostered for multiple local agencies (Pawfect Match Rescue & Rehabilitation, APS of Durham, Cumberland County Animal Shelter, Hope Animal Rescue, Neshama Animal Rescue) including rescuing from a local agency that was mistreating the animals. I have experience with extreme anxiety disorders that need medical intervention, territorial pets, and rescues from unsanitary, physically abusive, and hoarding conditions. I volunteered as a foster parent to help combat "foster failure" (the pattern of foster families adopting quickly leaving a constant need for replacement volunteers). I fostered for 6 animals, and covered holidays and vacations for my fellow foster parents in these networks. I am also companion pet death doula. I have cared for 5 animals through natural and medically assisted deaths. Which includes treatment with CBD, and administering prescribed medication orally by pill, syringe, and under the tongue. Plus routine medications like ear drops. I am prepared to care for elderly pets and I can recognize common symptoms for conditions like dehydration, yeast infection, and GI issues. I've also cared for disabled animals including a kitten born without back paws. Finally, I have access to a grooming station that can accommodate large dogs, a private dog park, and am very close to multiple public parks. I have an SUV and a crash tested harness and tether. I am happy to provide transport to grooming, camps, veterinary appointments and more. I'm a full time student so my time is very flexible. My ideal schedule would be drop in care to provide walks and feedings while you're at work, on overnight stays or over long weekends. I establish trust with pets with careful introductions. I am very patient and wait until they indicate that they are open to being approached or touched, especially with cats. I don't mind taking the time to introduce myself to build a relationship that makes things like getting leashed move more quickly in the future.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years as both a dedicated pet owner and a trusted caregiver for friends and family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including my own 65-pound reactive dog, which has given me a deep understanding of canine body language, positive reinforcement training, and the importance of consistency, structure, and patience. Whether it’s a walk or drop-in visit my priority is always to ensure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while maintaining their normal routine. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs and provide plenty of affection, enrichment, exercise, and detailed photo updates so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet with the same care and respect as if they were my own. I currently work from home and have availability to do drop ins or dog walking due to my flexible schedule ! I’d be happy to walk some pups during the week work day or after I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when their routine is maintained. When caring for pets in their home, I take the time to understand their normal schedule, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions from their family. During each visit, I provide attentive care, exercise, enrichment, and plenty of affection while making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’ll send detailed updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own dog.
About: I grew up with 3 doggies and helped take care of them. One of them was a rescue so I have experience with that as well. I have also taken care of birds, reptiles, and cats! I pretty much have open availability! Available anytime Monday-Sunday. I work an on call job which helps with open my availability. Taking care of pets is fun and relaxing to me! :) I’m currently unable to bring your fur babies to my home. :( But I am perfectly okay with going to your home and taking care of them there. I am very attentive and adaptable, and i am always respectful of your space, always communicating well.
About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve grown up around animals and truly believe they are family, not just pets. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’ve cared for pets with all kinds of personalities and at different stages of life, including my senior dog Jacob (11). Having an older dog has taught me to be patient, notice the little things, and make sure pets are comfortable and cared for as they get older. I’ve also worked with my dog Atlas, who has had some behavioral challenges. Helping him over the years has taught me that every animal is different and that trust, consistency, and patience go a long way. I enjoy taking the time to understand each pet and what helps them feel safe and happy. Since I have a multi-pet household with dogs, cats, and birds, I’m comfortable with different routines and different types of care. I know every pet has their own personality, habits, and needs. The biggest thing that sets me apart is that I truly care about the animals I look after. I don’t just show up to feed them—I want to build a connection with them, make them feel comfortable, and give them the same care and love I would want someone to give my own pets. Pet care is a part of my everyday routine. Every day, I feed my three dogs, two cats, and two parakeets, make sure they always have fresh water, and spend time playing with and caring for them. My dogs get regular walks and outdoor time, and I love taking them on hikes whenever I can. My cats get plenty of attention, playtime, and enrichment, and I make sure their litter boxes stay clean. I also care for my parakeets by cleaning their cage, refreshing their food and water, and giving them time to interact and explore. Because caring for animals is already part of my daily life, adding your pet to my routine feels. I’ll make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care that I give my own pets. I care for every pet like they are my own because I truly believe pets are family. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love taking the time to understand what makes each one feel safe and happy. At home, I care for my three dogs, Jacob (11), Luna (7), and Atlas (8), my two cats, Stinky (5) and Kiwi (6), and my two parakeets, Suki and Dewy. My dogs get lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures like walks and hikes. Luna has had some behavioral challenges, which has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and understanding that every animal learns and grows at their own pace. Seeing how much she has improved over the years has shown me how important love and patience are when caring for pets. My cats, Stinky and Kiwi, have completely different personalities, and that’s one of the things I love most about cats. I enjoy playing with them, keeping them entertained, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they have a comfortable and happy environment. I also have experience caring for my parakeets, Suki and Dewy. I’m comfortable with feeding them, cleaning their cage, changing their water, and making sure they get attention and enrichment. While I haven’t owned larger birds, I’m always willing to learn and make sure I understand each pet’s needs. When caring for your pets in your home, I’ll respect their routine and follow your instructions closely. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and to give them the same care and attention I give my own pets because I know how much they mean to your family.

“Thanks Henley for taking my doggie on her dog walks. You do a great job of listening/observing the needs of my 15 year old dog to make adjustments to her walking needs. I look forward to continued recurring walks with you!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was young! My family adopted a dog when I was 8 so I helped take care of him! I would go to friends and neighbors houses to care for their pup! I have a 2 1/2 year old dog myself that I rescued and have given him such a good life! He is my best friend and I will make sure your furry friend is always taken care of! I have a full time job Monday- Friday from 9 to 6 but my weekends are always open to take great care of your pet. I live in an apartment that has a fenced in dog park where I take my dog to get some exercise! I also live by a lot of greenway trails where I take my pup for long walks! My dog is very friendly with other dogs and loves to make new friends!
About: I have been around all kinds of dogs from a very young age, from Siberian Huskies to Great Pyrenees, to Bishons and have loved every minute of it. I have trained puppies ranging from 10 weeks to 2 years old and have also spent a significant amount of time around senior dogs. I find immense joy in caring for and getting to know dogs as I feel they provide compound hip and live more unconditionally than any other animal. I have experience walking, feeding, and bathing even the most difficult of breeds and I can’t wait to meet your best furry friend. I’m currently invetween jobs for the next little while so I will be readily available to care for your pup(s) regardless of how much energy they have or attention that they need I no longer have a dog in my home and am not ready for a new pup of my own yet, but I am more than comfortable crating dogs who need to be crated, bathing dogs who need to be bathed, walking dogs who need to be walked, and just playing with pups who need to burn some energy.

“Emily and Will are the world’s greatest pet sitters. I am very new to being a dog mom. They helped to ease my anxiety by having a pet met and greet, during my 5 day trip, they sent me pictures of my doggy, and my dog had a great visit all because of Emily and Will. I am so grateful for their compassion, patience, and empathetic pet sitters. I will use Emily and Will for future petsitting needs. You will be pleased with their services!!”

“Paris did a wonderful job watching my Senior dachshund for a week. It was my pet’s first time staying with someone who she didn’t know. I was really nervous about leaving her but my pet did great. Paris sent pictures and messages every day about what had happened during that day. My pet seemed to settle in well and had a great stay. I definitely will contact Paris again if I need to board my little Doxie again.”

“Mary and Jonathan are the absolute best. Copper adores staying with them and we love the communication and updates. We feel so good every time Copper stays with them!”
“Krystene responded quickly to my request and was very pleasant. She sent me pictures of my cat baby and updated me on how he was doing. I was very thankful Krystene was available to care for my cat during a family emergency. I would definitely use Krystene again!”
“Thais was amazing. She kept me updated with Onyx while I was away on a last minute trip. Onyx was having major meltdown and bad separation anxieties.. Thais communicated to me what he was doing & I explained why I felt he was going thru. She lovingly helped him thru it and even cuddled with him to calm him down. I can’t thank her enough for being supportive of his needs while with her. Thank you so much Thais .. that was a comfort to me knowing my Onyx was in loving hands. 🤎🫶🏽”

“Adrienne and her family took great care of our Schnauzer while we were on vacation. They treated her like one of the family and she received lots of cuddles and play time. We did a meet & greet and drop-off/pick-up was really convenient. She sent us updates & pictures which my kids loved to see while we were away. We had a great experience and feel that our pup really enjoyed herself.”
“Nilesh and his family took care of my baby when I went out of town for a week or so. He sent daily updates and pictures. I had zero concerns about Proximo, zero and that is my baby. Way better than boarding him at a kennel where he is often returned to me in a state worse than when I left him. I 100% recommend Nilesh and will be utilizing his services again.”
