“Kate was very friendly and we did a meet and greet ahead of our actual trip to meet her and also see how our dog got along with Lucy, Kate's dog. She also had last minute availability for Thanksgiving weekend, since I made our plans last minute. She sent lots of pictures so we could see that Maddie was doing fine and interacting with Lucy. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Stella took great care of my girls (a Boston terrier and a “Velcro” Dalmatian) for a week. It was a last minute booking and she communicated so promptly and professionally. She even offered a meet and greet which made me feel even more comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. Stella had a great yard for them to play in, and updated us with pictures and videos nearly everyday! I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter that they can trust and feel like their babies were made feel right at home! Thank you Stella!”
“I'd highly recommend Kim based on our experience with her watching our Ella. We received daily updates and pictures from her and sincerely feel that Ella was treated royally while staying with Kim. So much so they it seemed like Ella was depressed for awhile when she came back home. We attributed that to the kind attention she received.”
“Emily and her family were all so nice and helpful keeping our pup. We had the convenience of visiting the beach while on vacation, care free. Our pup was being taken care of. It was truly a gift. She took him on multiple walks gave him food and water as well as many potty breaks. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you Emily. 10/10 recommend”

Kately followed all written instructions, provided speedy, thorough communication and photo updates. We look forward to booking a future reservation with Katelyn when needed.”
“Lara took wonderful care of our little Teddy! He got plenty of attention and loving from her and her sweet children. I appreciated that she sent pictures and texts to let me know that he was adjusting and doing well!”

“Thank you so much Andrea for taking such great care of my pup Riley on such short notice. I really appreciate the quick responses, flexibility, and the pics. Riley was walked, well cared for, and was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. I high recommend Andrea and look forward to booking again!”
“Valerie was amazing with our boys (American Bully and mini dachshund with very different personalities) & she handled both without batting an eye. The updates she sent weren’t just walk photos; we got silly faces, pouty looks, and full documentation of the misbehavior. Knowing they were happy and in good hands made traveling so much less stressful. Highly recommend her!”
About: Before I had kids I use to work at a dog hotel/daycare for a year. I took care of various types and sizes of dogs and did everything from administering medicine to just letting them out to go potty etc. I love dogs and have grown up with them my whole life. I can check on your pets almost any time with notice and unless they’re at school (hybrid homeschool) my kids would have to come with. I’m a full time solo mom to 3 kids. Over night stays will be best at my house. I have a 9 month old golden retriever that’s up to date on vaccines. I know how stressful it can be when you need someone to take care of your pets and I want to help ease your worries. I can manage whatever specific needs you have for your pet. I will spend time with them and give them the same love and care I give to my own dogs.

“I have a senior cat and chose Kayla specifically for that reason. She assured me that she new the signs of distress in old cats. That being aside, this was her first time watching my cat. So happy to come home with him greeting me like any other day. Hew was obviously well taken care of.”
“Maegan was a pleasure to work with. My cats loved her and she was so kind to them. She also did the little “extras” around the house (deliveries, etc). I would highly recommend Maegan to anyone looking for a cat watcher.”
“Erin was amazing! I always stress when I leave my pets but I know they were in good hands. She communicated effectively and I knew I didn’t have anything to worry about, would 100% have her watch them again.”
“We just moved to St James and I was a little nervous about finding a new cat sitter. Olivia put me at ease right away, and did a terrific job with our kitty. She even brought him a new toy. I receive photos and updates twice a day. On top of that, she was wonderful with watering plants, taking out garbage, bringing in the mail and keeping an eye on our home. I will definitely be rebooking her”
“Stacey did a great job taking care of our cat for the first time. She loves animals, and our girl came right up to her and said hello. Stacey is very professional, she showed up right on time, gave our cat some love (even brushed her), and also takes some great pics! She’s also a lovely person. Highly recommended, give her a try.”
“Dave was so sweet and attentive when she came over to meet our cat. I could tell that she was an animal lover! She was dependable and came over every day to check on Juju - she even brought over a cat toy for her to play with while we were gone. I was worried about leaving our cat for such a long period of time, but Dace sent pictures and updates, so we knew she was well cared for. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have plenty of experience taking care of cats of all different ages and personalities. I am happy to care for playful kittens to more independent cats.

About: Hi! I’m Danielle, a stay-at-home mom to our beautiful baby girl. Before parenthood, I worked at a veterinary clinic specializing in fear-free handling, surgeries, emergencies, grooming, and advanced medicine. This gave me extensive hands-on experience with cats of all ages, personalities, and needs—from playful kittens to senior cats requiring medication, post-surgery care, or special diets. We recently said goodbye to our beloved dog after a battle with cancer, and the quiet house has us excited to welcome feline friends for in-home boarding or cat sitting. With my vet background and a deep passion for compassionate, low-stress care, I create a safe, enriching environment tailored to each cat’s unique preferences. As a full-time mom, I’m home during the day to provide plenty of attention, interactive play, scratching posts, climbing opportunities, and quiet hiding spots. I handle litter box maintenance diligently, administer medications if needed, and monitor health closely—just like in the clinic. I always prioritize free meet-and-greets to ensure we’re a great match for you and your cat before booking. Whether your kitty is shy, adventurous, needs senior support, or just wants lap time and laser pointer fun, I’d love to care for them like part of our family. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your feline companion! 🐱
About: I’m available most days to play and care for your animals. I’d love to take them running, playing, and of course to snuggle them! You can expect that I will love your pets as if they are my own. I haven’t had a pet in about three years (my doggie of seven years unfortunately got sick and passed) so I’m looking to ease back into having a pet by doggie-sitting a bit before I commit to a full time furfriend. I’m very entergetic so I have no problem taking on your active pets but I also like quiet time and movies for your more laid back animals. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! I’m currently working part time and travel on weekends so I have a pretty flexible schedule to play with your pup! If I’m traveling in gone most weekends, and if I’m working it mostly afternoons. At this time I am not doing boarding but I like to ensure that your pet feels safe with me in your home while house sitting by doing a visit prior to the booked stay.
About: I have owned cats since I was young! Our black persian cat (Charlie) lived until he was 22 yrs old, I inherited my mom’s gray tabbie when Molly was 19 yrs old and she lived happily until she was 20 yrs old. I rescued a Russian Blue 5 years ago ( Lucy) and my orange tabbie 7 years ago (Parker). I have lots of love to share!

“Yueqian is very professional and experienced in taking care of dogs. Wren spent a wonderful time at the dog park with Yueqian and her three dogs, and enjoyed a walk in another park as well. Yueqian also sent me some photos of Wren to give me an update. When I picked up Wren, she looks happy, showing no signs of separation anxiety even though it was her first daycare experience. I highly recommend Yueqian for anyone looking for a caring and professional dog daycare service. Thank you for taking such great care of Wren!”

“Stacey is the BEST dog walker and sitter! She treats my dog like she’s her own. She is so kind and loving, while she also works on consistency with the training I do with my dog. Stacey knows the various dog personality styles and needs well. She has a lot more skill to offer than your basic dog walker! She gives me regular updates about my dog’s behavior and informs me of new tricks my dog learns with her. She also sends pics and videos so I can enjoy their time together from afar. It’s so fun! I use her weekly and we really miss her between sessions. I highly recommend her!!!”
“Erin has been amazing with Gabbie! She took the time to stop by and familiarize herself with her and made her feel comfortable. Additionally, my requests to walk Gabbie were very last minute and she took no issue with that and communicated in a timely manner. If you need your pup walked, you should absolutely consider Erin first.”

What are your needs? I help friends and family out when they need pet care-now that I am semi-retired-thinking it can help pay some bills! I have an elevator building so walking your pup is no issue! I also don’t mind enjoying my coffee at your house-while I keep on eye on your furry friend!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7. At 10 I walked dogs for my parents friends and neighbors. I love dogs and cats! I’m retired and wanted something to do that I enjoyed. I love animals and would love to spend more time with them and exercise with them! I have fenced yard my home and two fur babies that love company. I can crate if that’s what what you prefer we will keep them company so they won’t feel alone.
About: I’m available most days to play and care for your animals. I’d love to take them running, playing, and of course to snuggle them! You can expect that I will love your pets as if they are my own. I haven’t had a pet in about three years (my doggie of seven years unfortunately got sick and passed) so I’m looking to ease back into having a pet by doggie-sitting a bit before I commit to a full time furfriend. I’m very entergetic so I have no problem taking on your active pets but I also like quiet time and movies for your more laid back animals. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! I’m currently working part time and travel on weekends so I have a pretty flexible schedule to play with your pup! If I’m traveling in gone most weekends, and if I’m working it mostly afternoons. At this time I am not doing boarding but I like to ensure that your pet feels safe with me in your home while house sitting by doing a visit prior to the booked stay.
About: I may not have years of professional pet sitting/dog walking experience, but I do know what it means to love and care for a dog every single day. I have my own two pups who I walk and play with several times a week, and I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and happy. I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine care to every animal I meet. I’m a homeschooled student, about to graduate, so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available most days from 7 AM to 7 PM. This allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention, walks, and love they need throughout the day. When I visit your pet for walks or potty breaks, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and always pay attention to their needs, whether that’s extra playtime, fresh water, or just a little love and company. You can trust me to treat your pup like my own.
“Krissy is a very responsible walker and is timely in taking care of our big boy Moose. Definitely recommend for occasional needs and will use again. Enjoyed the “meet and greet” with her and so did Moose❤️”
About: I’ve grown up with rescue dogs my entire life and understand dogs specific needs and concerns. All dogs have a unique personality and deserve unique care based on everything about them! I’ve raised my 3 year old vizsla since she was 8 weeks old and have definitely learned how to care for a pup that can be needy & require a unique way of living. She grew up in NYC and has travelled to many states over the past year and has adjusted to changes in life seamlessly while I maintain her care. I am currently home full time and available to care for your dogs needs at any time. My vizsla and I love to go on walks/hikes around town and play in the backyard often so any dog would be a great addition to our routine. ample space for dogs to play indoors. My vizsla, Molly, is great with other dogs and loves to have a playmate and snuggle buddy! Butt scratches are essential to our daily life and your dog will get ample snuggles if they choose.

“Ollie had a great stay with Yueqian and her family. I knew how great a time Ollie had when I saw how much she didn’t want to go home with me. Will definitely trust Yueqian again with Ollie in the future.”
“Stephanie is an absolute delight, compassionate, and well qualified. Our labradoodle is overly anxious and he was completely comfortable in her home. We often received texts and pictures to assure us that Cooper was content. We will definitely use Stephanie for future boardings.”
“Highly recommend Kyle, he was very communicative and took very good care of our dogs. Our dogs were happy and tired out by pick up time, we will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Kate was very friendly and we did a meet and greet ahead of our actual trip to meet her and also see how our dog got along with Lucy, Kate's dog. She also had last minute availability for Thanksgiving weekend, since I made our plans last minute. She sent lots of pictures so we could see that Maddie was doing fine and interacting with Lucy. Would definitely recommend her!”
“I'd highly recommend Kim based on our experience with her watching our Ella. We received daily updates and pictures from her and sincerely feel that Ella was treated royally while staying with Kim. So much so they it seemed like Ella was depressed for awhile when she came back home. We attributed that to the kind attention she received.”
“Emily and her family were all so nice and helpful keeping our pup. We had the convenience of visiting the beach while on vacation, care free. Our pup was being taken care of. It was truly a gift. She took him on multiple walks gave him food and water as well as many potty breaks. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you Emily. 10/10 recommend”

“Laura took great care of our high energy pup! He got along well with her pet and got in some great walks too. Great communication as well. We hope to use them again in the future. 5 stars!!”
“Thank you so much Andrea for taking such great care of my pup Riley on such short notice. I really appreciate the quick responses, flexibility, and the pics. Riley was walked, well cared for, and was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. I high recommend Andrea and look forward to booking again!”
“Valerie was amazing with our boys (American Bully and mini dachshund with very different personalities) & she handled both without batting an eye. The updates she sent weren’t just walk photos; we got silly faces, pouty looks, and full documentation of the misbehavior. Knowing they were happy and in good hands made traveling so much less stressful. Highly recommend her!”
About: Before I had kids I use to work at a dog hotel/daycare for a year. I took care of various types and sizes of dogs and did everything from administering medicine to just letting them out to go potty etc. I love dogs and have grown up with them my whole life. I can check on your pets almost any time with notice and unless they’re at school (hybrid homeschool) my kids would have to come with. I’m a full time solo mom to 3 kids. Over night stays will be best at my house. I have a 9 month old golden retriever that’s up to date on vaccines. I know how stressful it can be when you need someone to take care of your pets and I want to help ease your worries. I can manage whatever specific needs you have for your pet. I will spend time with them and give them the same love and care I give to my own dogs.
“I can't recommend Robert and his family highly enough! From the moment I met them, I knew Bodie would be in excellent hands. They went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt comfortable and welcomed during my absence. They were attentive to Bodie's needs and even worked on commands. When I returned, Bodie was happy and relaxed. He had a great time playing in the fenced-in garden with other dogs. If you're looking for someone reliable and trustworthy Robert is your guy!”
“Hilary took such great care of our girl! Sadie has a lot of quirks and takes time to warm up and Hilary was patient and understanding. I had a lot of peace of mind while we were away on our trip knowing she was well taken care of!”
“Allie helped us out when we were in a pinch. So grateful for the peace of mind. Digi was able to stay cool while we were out in the heat. Thanks Allie! We will look ya up next time we are in the area.”
