“We can’t thank Trupti and Anmol enough for taking such wonderful care of Bruno! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. The regular updates, pictures, and videos reassured us that Bruno was not only well taken care of but also having an absolute blast! It was heartwarming to see him happily mingling with other dogs, playing, and enjoying his time to the fullest. He especially loved finding tennis balls in the snow—it was such a joy to see him so engaged and excited! And the bond he built with Anmol was truly special—seeing him rest his head in Anmol’s lap showed just how comfortable and happy he was. The attention to detail, the care, and the affection they showed Bruno truly made a difference. We were able to fully relax, knowing he was in a safe, happy, and nurturing environment. Trupti and Anmol go above and beyond in creating a home away from home for pets, and we are incredibly grateful. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy place for their furry friends. Bruno will definitely be excited for his next stay!”
“Meaghan was wonderful with my 10 year old Shitzu. She was friendly, loving, and easy to work with. My dog loved her and felt part of her family instantly. I felt like I was leaving him with family. She has a nice house and large fenced in backyard. I was very impressed with Meaghan.”
“We had an exceptional experience with Monika, who boarded our pup for the weekend. From the start, her communication was prompt and friendly, putting our minds at ease. During the stay, Monika sent regular updates, including pictures and videos, showing that Chief was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear that she treated Chief like one of her own, which meant the world to us. We highly recommend Monika to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Gerry watched our 5 month old Maltipoo puppy Rocket this evening. He had a blast playing with her. Gerry sent us a bunch of updates and photos throughout the evening. She is very responsive, personable, clearly loves dogs and knows how to watch them. We will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to others as well. This was our first time leaving Rocket with a sitter and we got lucky in finding Gerry.”
“Xavier and his family took great care of my dog Emma while we were away. You could tell she was treated well and enjoyed her time there and having a fenced in yard is perfect for any dog that likes to be outside and roam. He’s a great communicator and would definitely use him again.”
“Meg and her family took very great care of our precious Belle!!! Meg sent us pictures and updates throughout Belle's stay with them!!! Thank you and hopefully some time in the near future you can watch her again for us!!!”
“Brian watched our two dogs for the night and we were very pleased. He spent over an hour talking to me and letting my dogs get comfortable at his house during the the "meet and greet". That made me feel comfortable leaving the dogs overnight with him. I absolutely loved the photos he would send! I would definitely use him again.”
“Gabby took such good care of our puppy! It was our first time leaving her anywhere for a family vacation. The whole time she kept us updated with pictures and videos. She was so well taken care of and had so much fun. We will definitely be using again! So very caring of our fur baby all week!”
About: “I have 4 years of experience caring for dogs and currently have a 9-month-old puppy I trained myself. I’m passionate, patient, and treat every dog like my own. Whether it’s playtime, training, or cuddles, your pup will be safe, happy, and well cared for!” “I work from home, so your pup will never be short on potty breaks, attention, or love! I’m available throughout the day for playtime, snuggles, and care. Morning and evening walks are part of our routine, making sure your dog stays happy, active, and well cared for.” “Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a trustworthy, loving environment where pups can relax and play. My friendly, well-trained puppy makes a great companion for playtime and walks throughout the day, keeping your dog engaged, social, and feeling right at home.”
“Margaret is so nice and made us feel comfortable right away. She kept us updated on our pup throughout the stay. She’s very good with communication, confirmed the stay and answered us right away. We would definitely have our dog stay with her again.”
“Hedra was an awesome sitter for our cat Haru! He followed all of the instructions we left behind, he loved playing with and spending time with Haru, and he regularly sent us updates about what our cat was up to. Haru also got on especially well with his cat Gabby, as another fellow chill cat.”
“Lenny was very warm and welcoming. She took good care of Oreo and kept me posted with daily activities with messages, pictures and videos. Oreo was very happy. Will definitely keep Oreo with Lenny again!”
“First time using a service and leaving our dog with someone we didn't know - we were in a bind, Chelsea came thru and quickly arranged a meet and greet. She was accommodating and flexible as a friend came thru for the remainder of our vacation and picked up our dog the next day. It was a very pleasant and smooth experience - would definitely recommend Chelsea and if we ever need her again, we know who we will call....Thank you so much!”
About: I provide a calm, quiet, and low-stress home environment that’s great for dogs who prefer a more relaxed setting. My home is kid-free and male-free, and I only take pets I know I can give plenty of attention and care to. I like dogs more than people so they are treated like part of the family here. The doggies can relax freely around the house, get lots of outdoor time, play, walks, and snuggles. I also have experience caring for shy and nervous dogs since my own dog can be timid in new situations. I’m patient and understand that some dogs need extra time to feel comfortable and safe. Since I’m a teacher, I’m very responsible, organized, and used to keeping routines and paying attention to individual needs. I've been dog sitting for 5 years now. Reach out if you have any questions! I work full time as a teacher, so I have a very structured routine that works well for pet care. I leave around 7:10 and am home by 2:45 on most days. Over the summer I only work 4 days a week 8-12. I’m a homebody and spend most nights and weekends at home with my dog. I don’t like leaving my dog alone for more than 6–7 hours, so any dog staying with me would get plenty of attention, time outside, and companionship. Daily walks, playtime, and outdoor time are already part of my normal routine, especially since my dog loves to play catch and relax outside. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where dogs can feel comfortable and at home. I have a fenced-in backyard for supervised outdoor play and daily walks can also be provided. Dogs are allowed to freely relax around the house and are treated like part of the family. I also have a medium-sized crate available if needed. I do have my own dog who is 3.5 years old. He’s very laid back, enjoys naps, hanging out, and playing outside. We spend a lot of time outside playing catch and getting exercise. My home is kid-free and male-free, so it’s usually very quiet and low stress for dogs that prefer a calmer environment. I truly love animals and treat them with the same care and attention I give my own dog. I like dogs better than people so they will be treated very well.

“Jess was an absolute delight - dropped in and took care of my kitties while we went away. She was super flexible, personable and definitely has a love for animals! We would use her again in a heart beat!”
About: While my professional background is primarily in dog grooming, I have experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every cat has unique needs and comfort levels. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and independent, I will provide attentive care, maintain their routine, keep litter boxes clean, and ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I am also comfortable administering medications when needed and will provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Jules is amazing! We just moved to Miami and are so glad to have found her. She went above and beyond caring for our two kitties. She is definitely an animal person, and really spent time giving them attention and love while also following my food instructions to a T. Definitely booking her again for all future cat sitting!”
About: I’ve grown up always having at least one cat in my house and have been taking care of them more independently as I’ve grown up. From my family cats with and without special needs to the stray cats outside my house, my family and friends have relied on me to feed, play, and give medication to them
“I have 3 elderly dogs and was worried about leaving them. Monika did a great job taking care of my 3 Pomeranian babies and attending to their individual needs. I will definitely rebook with Monika.”
About: As a lifelong cat owner, I’ve spent years caring for cats with all kinds of personalities and needs. I know how important it is to keep their routine consistent and their environment stress-free. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, and giving each cat the right amount of attention—whether that’s interactive play or simply quiet companionship. My goal is to make your time away as easy as possible for both you and your cat
About: Living with my roommate’s two cats was a surprisingly positive experience. At first, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about sharing the space, but their different personalities quickly grew on me. One was playful and curious, while the other was calm and affectionate. Over time, they made the apartment feel warmer and more like home.
“I am so thankful and appreciative for the care Mary and Ginny provided to my two cats. This was the first time we needed to find care for them and I couldn’t have been happier with finding Mary and Ginny. They made me feel completely at ease with leaving them behind and I know that they loved them the same way we do. One of our cats needs medicine and it felt like such an inconvenience to ask someone to take on that responsibility, but Ginny and Mary made me feel so much better about the situation and I am so thankful to them for that. Thank you again Ginny and Mary. It meant the world to me to know they were okay while we were gone 💕”
“Meaghan was able to accommodate our last minute request to cat sit and we were very happy with how communicative and professional she is! We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Bridget took excellent care of my cat. She was always easy to reach and took adorable pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter! Very happy to have found her!”
“Kelly was absolutely phenomenal. She took amazing care of our cat and was extremely considerate. She also kept us updated with each visit. We would most certainty book her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs whether that be overnight care or just going for walks around the neighborhood! I have a dog of my own she is a golden doodle! Taking care of pets blends easily into my everyday life since I’m organized, reliable, and love being around animals. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I enjoy making pets feel safe and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any specific needs to make sure pets feel secure and stress-free. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every animal like my own, giving them plenty of attention, patience, and care. Whether during walks or drop-ins, I always aim to provide a calm and loving environment where pets can feel happy, safe, and at home.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years and truly love being around them. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities — from high-energy pups that need long walks and playtime to older dogs who just want a slower stroll and some extra TLC. I understand how important routine is, and I stick closely to feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions you leave. I’m active, dependable, and easygoing, and I’ll always treat your dog like one of my own. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pup is happy and in good hands. 🐾 Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I’m already active and build walks, outdoor time, and structure into my day, so adding dog walks, drop-ins, or check-ins works well for me. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be consistent with feeding times, walks, and any special care instructions. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday visit, or evening check-in, I’m able to plan my week around making sure pets get reliable, attentive care. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, not something I’m squeezing in. 🐾 Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I follow feeding schedules carefully, stick to walk times, and make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise based on their energy level. Playtime, enrichment, and calm downtime are all important depending on the dog’s personality. In a client’s home, I respect the space completely — keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how I found them. I’m attentive to details like medication instructions, house rules, and preferred commands. Communication is key, so I always send updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. 🐾

“Gabriella is wonderful. When I was returning with Benji to the car, he turned around and let me know that he wanted to go back in. That is the best endorsement that a dog can give, and it is all about him. I would leave my pet with her anytime.”

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for about 7 years and have experience with pups as young as 4 months all the way up to senior dogs. I honestly love them all, but puppies are my favorite because of their energy, and I also love a good cuddle with an older dog. I’m comfortable with all breeds and personalities, and I always try to match whatever routine your dog is used to so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s walks, trips to the dog park, or just hanging out at home, I’m happy to do it all. I can also administer medication if needed, and I know the cheese trick very well so giving pills is usually quick and stress-free. I recently moved to the area and am currently rebuilding my client base, so I’m very flexible and can often accommodate last-minute bookings. I’m a local college student who is home for the summer, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I plan my days around the pets I’m taking care of. On days I have work, I’m still able to stop by before and after, and on my off days I have even more availability for walks, visits, or overnight care. I always make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I 100% respect the environment I’m in and the boundaries I’m given. I treat your home like it’s my own and always leave it exactly how I found it, with the exception of a toy or two left out from playtime! My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

I will take the time to feel them out and make sure they get what they need and stay safe while of course respecting your home.

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with two pups of my own and over three years of hands-on experience volunteering with a dog rescue. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience. My experience includes daily walks, basic training, handling dogs at public events, and fostering. I’m also comfortable recognizing and supporting basic medical needs. Your dog will be treated like one of my own—with lots of care, attention, and love. I currently work in an office setting so my availability is mainly Friday-Sunday and if needed after 6PM Monday-Thursday for a potty break or walk. I care for my dogs in various ways based on their needs. I utilize crate training/treat reinforcement/basic commands and do my best to remove any negative habits where applicable.

“We can’t thank Trupti and Anmol enough for taking such wonderful care of Bruno! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. The regular updates, pictures, and videos reassured us that Bruno was not only well taken care of but also having an absolute blast! It was heartwarming to see him happily mingling with other dogs, playing, and enjoying his time to the fullest. He especially loved finding tennis balls in the snow—it was such a joy to see him so engaged and excited! And the bond he built with Anmol was truly special—seeing him rest his head in Anmol’s lap showed just how comfortable and happy he was. The attention to detail, the care, and the affection they showed Bruno truly made a difference. We were able to fully relax, knowing he was in a safe, happy, and nurturing environment. Trupti and Anmol go above and beyond in creating a home away from home for pets, and we are incredibly grateful. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy place for their furry friends. Bruno will definitely be excited for his next stay!”
“We had an exceptional experience with Monika, who boarded our pup for the weekend. From the start, her communication was prompt and friendly, putting our minds at ease. During the stay, Monika sent regular updates, including pictures and videos, showing that Chief was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear that she treated Chief like one of her own, which meant the world to us. We highly recommend Monika to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Gerry watched our 5 month old Maltipoo puppy Rocket this evening. He had a blast playing with her. Gerry sent us a bunch of updates and photos throughout the evening. She is very responsive, personable, clearly loves dogs and knows how to watch them. We will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to others as well. This was our first time leaving Rocket with a sitter and we got lucky in finding Gerry.”
“Xavier and his family took great care of my dog Emma while we were away. You could tell she was treated well and enjoyed her time there and having a fenced in yard is perfect for any dog that likes to be outside and roam. He’s a great communicator and would definitely use him again.”
“Meg and her family took very great care of our precious Belle!!! Meg sent us pictures and updates throughout Belle's stay with them!!! Thank you and hopefully some time in the near future you can watch her again for us!!!”
“Brian watched our two dogs for the night and we were very pleased. He spent over an hour talking to me and letting my dogs get comfortable at his house during the the "meet and greet". That made me feel comfortable leaving the dogs overnight with him. I absolutely loved the photos he would send! I would definitely use him again.”
“Gabby took such good care of our puppy! It was our first time leaving her anywhere for a family vacation. The whole time she kept us updated with pictures and videos. She was so well taken care of and had so much fun. We will definitely be using again! So very caring of our fur baby all week!”
“Margaret is so nice and made us feel comfortable right away. She kept us updated on our pup throughout the stay. She’s very good with communication, confirmed the stay and answered us right away. We would definitely have our dog stay with her again.”
“Hedra was an awesome sitter for our cat Haru! He followed all of the instructions we left behind, he loved playing with and spending time with Haru, and he regularly sent us updates about what our cat was up to. Haru also got on especially well with his cat Gabby, as another fellow chill cat.”
“Lenny was very warm and welcoming. She took good care of Oreo and kept me posted with daily activities with messages, pictures and videos. Oreo was very happy. Will definitely keep Oreo with Lenny again!”
“First time using a service and leaving our dog with someone we didn't know - we were in a bind, Chelsea came thru and quickly arranged a meet and greet. She was accommodating and flexible as a friend came thru for the remainder of our vacation and picked up our dog the next day. It was a very pleasant and smooth experience - would definitely recommend Chelsea and if we ever need her again, we know who we will call....Thank you so much!”
About: I provide a calm, quiet, and low-stress home environment that’s great for dogs who prefer a more relaxed setting. My home is kid-free and male-free, and I only take pets I know I can give plenty of attention and care to. I like dogs more than people so they are treated like part of the family here. The doggies can relax freely around the house, get lots of outdoor time, play, walks, and snuggles. I also have experience caring for shy and nervous dogs since my own dog can be timid in new situations. I’m patient and understand that some dogs need extra time to feel comfortable and safe. Since I’m a teacher, I’m very responsible, organized, and used to keeping routines and paying attention to individual needs. I've been dog sitting for 5 years now. Reach out if you have any questions! I work full time as a teacher, so I have a very structured routine that works well for pet care. I leave around 7:10 and am home by 2:45 on most days. Over the summer I only work 4 days a week 8-12. I’m a homebody and spend most nights and weekends at home with my dog. I don’t like leaving my dog alone for more than 6–7 hours, so any dog staying with me would get plenty of attention, time outside, and companionship. Daily walks, playtime, and outdoor time are already part of my normal routine, especially since my dog loves to play catch and relax outside. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where dogs can feel comfortable and at home. I have a fenced-in backyard for supervised outdoor play and daily walks can also be provided. Dogs are allowed to freely relax around the house and are treated like part of the family. I also have a medium-sized crate available if needed. I do have my own dog who is 3.5 years old. He’s very laid back, enjoys naps, hanging out, and playing outside. We spend a lot of time outside playing catch and getting exercise. My home is kid-free and male-free, so it’s usually very quiet and low stress for dogs that prefer a calmer environment. I truly love animals and treat them with the same care and attention I give my own dog. I like dogs better than people so they will be treated very well.
“Maureen was an incredible dog sitter who treated our 2 dogs like family from the moment they met. Communication was excellent, with prompt updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. Maureen is reliable, caring, and truly passionate about animals, we highly recommend to anyone.”
About: We’ve had dogs our entire lives and currently share our home with an Australian Shepherd, so we’re very familiar with active dogs and consistent routines. We’ve also fostered dogs, giving us experience helping pets feel comfortable in new environments and working with different personalities. We treat every dog like our own and focus on making them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into our routine since we both work from home and are around throughout the day. Pets receive regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention in a calm family environment. With two adults home, we’re able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care while keeping pets comfortable and on their normal routines. Because we have two young children, we only accept dogs that are friendly with kids and other dogs. Dogs stay with us as part of our daily family routine and receive regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day since we both work from home. We also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. Our goal is to provide a comfortable, supervised home environment where dogs feel relaxed and cared for.
“Elina has been great so far with all of our visits. She has been very accommodating with timing and even helped out for an extra night when I was unable to come pick up my pets. Elina cares well for the animals and is very reliable and quick to respond!”
“Our dog, Riley, was so well cared for by Josh. He met us at our car for drop off and pick up bc it's tricky to get to his apartment. While Riley was there we received pictures to keep us updated. It made our evening in Philly so much better knowing she was in good hands.”
