“Beatriz & Hayden are fantastic and helped us feel totally at ease when we had to leave our boy, Frank, behind while we were away.

We also greatly appreciated the updates and videos.”

When I picked him up, he was clearly comfortable with Annette. Thank you.”

About: Being around dogs has been the foundation of my life since the age of 3. From caring for my own pets, helping our neighbor who bred collies, and caring for dogs while also caring for my patients at work as a home health occupational therapist, I feel like every pet is part of my family. My heart is full around any four legged friend and I strive to care for them, show them the deepest love, and teach them as I do my own children. It’s in my blood! I currently work as a home health OT with a flexible schedule during the day. I also have windows of time during the evenings and weekends to care for any pet. Teaching my sons responsibility and skills required to care well for animals are just an added bonus! I own my home with a large yard in the rear of the home. I’m also able to provide in-home boarding as I do not currently have a pet in the home. I also am able to offer drop-in services to address any home needs (mail, plant care, shoveling or vacation mowing), dog-walking, and light housework. Additional services like dog-walking upon request- let’s make your time away painless without concern at home.
“Kaleigh really stepped up when the previous sitter canceled without even so much as a message. She obviously has a history of working with dogs. She was informative and easy to contact. I would definitely recommend and will keep her at the top of my list next time I need a sitter.”
About: I had a few cats when I was a kid. While most of my experience is with dogs, my mom owns three cats and I have taken care of them while she has gone on vacation many times! I am a genuine animal lover and I adore cats just as much as dogs.
“Madelyn was amazing! She was attentive, and sent pictures at times of check in with my cat. I had total peace of mind my entire trip. She is very responsive and accommodating, even when I had to change the booking last minute. 1000% recommend.”
“Natalie took the best care of Daisy. She was easy to communicate with and very reliable. She was able to accommodate a last minute change & sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the week. She also offered and cleaned up all the dog fur so we didn’t have to come home to a mess. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter to care for our pup while we were on vacation.”
About: I have had cats and other pets since I was a child. Now as a grandmother, I still have my own cats. My cats are my babies and I take care of them as such. They both are cuddlers and I'd love to cuddle yours. I have administered medicine to my cats when it was needed.
“Christina is great! She is a lightning-fast communicator, which any anxious pet owner knows is a big deal! She took the time to get to know my cats, but respected their comfort level, and asked thoughtful questions during intros!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of pets from birds to geckos! I have a lot of pet sitting experience and am super flexible with schedules and any of your pets needs! I have experience with pets that require daily medication as well. I work full time but I have only work 4 days a week and my work schedule is always changing allowing me to have flexibility with days and even times! I remember that when I am caring for someone else’s pet that I am in their pets territory and that I may be unfamiliar to them at first! I am always gentle with them and try to maintain a relaxing environment for each pet I care for. I always give them time to warm up to me as well and offer them lots of love!
About: Hi! I’m Jess 😊 I’ve always had a natural, intuitive connection with animals and tend to pick up on their moods and needs quickly—even when they’re shy, anxious, or not as expressive. Because of that, animals usually warm up to me fast and feel safe in my presence. I currently have three cats of my own, including one with special needs, so I understand how important it is to have someone patient, attentive, and truly tuned in caring for your pets. I don’t just follow instructions—I pay attention to how your pet is feeling, and adjust my care to make sure they’re comfortable, relaxed, and supported. For certain bookings, my fiancé Rob may assist me as a second set of hands. He’s great with animals and helps provide extra support, especially for multi-pet households or longer stays. I am always the primary caregiver, but having that extra support allows me to give even more attentive, consistent care. ⭐ What Makes Me Different ✨ Intuitive, Empathic Care I naturally tune into animals’ behavior, comfort levels, and energy. This helps me: -Recognize stress or anxiety early -Adjust my approach based on their personality -Build trust quickly, especially with shy or sensitive pets ✔️ Personalized Care Plan Before each booking, you’ll complete a quick form so I can fully understand your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. ✔️ Structured, Professional Experience I provide a welcome guide, clear expectations, and consistent communication so everything feels smooth and stress-free. I also provide a simple care form before bookings so I can fully understand your pet’s routine and preferences. ✔️ Consistent Updates You’ll receive regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Each visit includes updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. ✔️ Extra Support When Needed For certain bookings, my fiancé Rob may assist as a second set of hands. He’s great with animals and helps provide extra support, especially for multi-pet households or longer stays. I am always the primary caregiver and will always communicate in advance if he will be present. 🐾 Experience I’ve cared for: -Cats (including multi-cat households) -Dogs of all sizes and personalities -Pets with medical needs, sensitivities, and unique routines Some of my experience includes: -A blind pug with dietary restrictions -Cats with litter box sensitivities and behavioral quirks -Anxious or slow-to-warm-up pets I take the time to understand who they are, not just what they need. 🏡 House Sitting When staying in your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s environment calm, familiar, and low-stress. This is especially important for pets who: -Experience separation anxiety -Are sensitive to change -Need consistency and emotional comfort Having Rob as occasional support also allows for more flexibility and coverage when needed. 🚪 Drop-In Visits Each visit isn’t just about completing tasks—it’s about checking in on your pet’s overall well-being. I pay attention to: -Behavior changes -Energy levels -Comfort and mood So nothing gets overlooked. 🐾 My Goal To create an environment where your pet feels safe, understood, and cared for—and where you feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I have done pet sitting since I was 10 years old for those in my neighborhood. Furthermore, I am very familiar with pets and their needs because I have always had pets in my life.

I’m currently in college so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets, I am willing to work around a schedule that fits your needs. I currently live in an apartment with a cat. However, I am willing to keep them separate from each other to ensure all animals are safe.
About: I have approximately 2 years dog care experience, including walks, in home care, and overnight. I have worked with several sizes and species of animals. I have daily walks and feedings for my own puppy at home. I do weekly baths with him as well. I also do daily brushing and playtime.

I take every precaution for each and every service I offer, and am more than willing to do extra safety procedures according to your terms.

“Carol has been very responsive and has taken in our girl Georgie. Georgie is a little timid and backwards at first, but Carol made her feel right at home. Georgie took to her welcoming, home environment and settled right in. She gets along great with the other babies being baby/dog sat, and Carol is very good with her. We will be using Carol in 2025!”
“Beatriz was amazing!!! She was so willing to help us in a bind for a last minute booking and we are so glad we met her! We have 2 chihuahua mixes; one is very anxious and can be a handful sometimes. He is quite fearful of new people, animals, and places. Within minutes of us dropping the dogs off, Beatriz texted me photos of both dogs playing in a pack with others and even snuggling up with her soaking up the attention! It was amazing. She is so patient and kind. Truly someone we would certainly trust with our dogs again!”
“Jessica was so great! She was very accommodating to me needing to drop Noodle off super early in the morning and sent me pictures & updates throughout the day. Highly recommend & will definitely use again! :)”

I also have 3 pets myself so I have plenty of experience! I've been working in the animal field for a little over a year, but have had my own pets since I was little. You can trust me with your animals because I love them as much as you do and don't want to see anything bad happen to them.
About: I've had a dog every year of my life until last year. I've raised puppies and then watched them grow old and had to say goodbye. I loved every minute, but cant say goodbye again. I do take care of my kids dogs. We are blessed to have a little Frenchie and a Bernese to care for from time to time.I am retired since September, and cant think of a better way to spend my time than playing with and caring for Pups! I am recently retired and no longer have a dog of my own as she passed last Christmas. Finding myself with alot of extra time, I know that caring for Pups would be a happy solution. As we no longer have a dog of our own, we do keep our kids dogs alot. We have a huge yard and stay with the dogs when they are outside. One is a Frenchie and the other a Bernese.
“Thank you Mariah for caring for my two pups! I have a senior and a reactive dog that both require great patience and care. I am also fairly particular with who I trust caring for my dogs; however, Mariah was wonderful and made the pups comfortable. Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience working with very energetic to slower more relaxed dogs/cats. I have an older beagle as well as a younger pit/lab mix at home. Starting in high school I would sit for family and friends, then in 2022 started working for Rover. I have experience giving medication and daily supplements as well as making sure your dog/cat gets plenty of playtime and attention. I’m currently working full-time, most of the time working 7-3 but in the winter working 4a-12p. After work I will be able to spend the rest of the evening/night with your dog/cat as well as the weekend. I will be able to give potty brakes, specific feeding schedule, play time, over night stays, or whatever your dog/cat needs to feel comfortable while you are away.
About: I had numerous dogs growing up and currently have one of my own, Finley, a Goldendoodle; I adore looking after pets and others. Dogs of all energy levels are welcome as I have a large yard, great for playtime, and plenty of space to accommodate others. Plenty of experience with medicines and special needs animals, too. Routine is key with time management to make sure there’s adequate time for play and adventure. Every morning starts with a walk, and I typically take my own pet to the park twice a day. My home has an enclosed backyard with ample space to run around. When house/petsitting, I’ll always ensure pets are on a leash before exiting to run errands or go for a walk.
About: What sets me apart is my personalized approach—treating every pet like my own, with dedicated attention, consistent communication, and a deep understanding of each animal’s unique needs and personality. I work from home all week and have a pretty short working schedule. I have lots of time at home to make sure each pet has the best care they need while the owner is out. Been doing it for so long and it's the best job ever! I have a fenced yard with lots of space, i live in a home in a mixed suburban neighborhood and there's lots of walking space around the block, dog park 5 min away and great space at home (no kids, just my wife)
About: I have approximately 2 years dog care experience, including walks, in home care, and overnight. I have worked with several sizes and species of animals. I have daily walks and feedings for my own puppy at home. I do weekly baths with him as well. I also do daily brushing and playtime. Safety is obviously number one priority and I treat every animal I care for as my own. I take every precaution for each and every service I offer, and am more than willing to do extra safety procedures according to your terms.

“Madyson was excellent with my dog Copper! His stay with her and Sparky involved lots of play time, cuddles, and great communication with us! Madyson is very attentive with any needs Copper has. I would highly recommend her!”

“Adisyn took care of our 48 pound hound mix for a week while my family was on vacation, and we felt really good about it the whole time. Our dog took to her right away during our meet-and-greet, Adisyn seems very sweet and to really enjoy dogs. She has a lovely fenced in backyard for her dog and ours to run around in, which was a big plus for us. It feels good to have a future pup sitter we trust!”
“Annette was lovely and caring to both Gustavo and me. Delays in flights meant I was 7 hours late in getting to Gus. Annette graciously dealt with this inconvenience. She was always quick to respond to communications. Most importantly, Gus clearly felt at home and welcomed from the minute she greeted him. When I picked him up, he was clearly comfortable with Annette. Thank you.”
“Emily and her family were wonderful caring for my dog Sunny! Emily treated Sunny as part of her family and was in constant communication with me to send pictures and updates. I had absolutely no concerns about Sunny while we were on vacation because I knew that Emily was giving Sunny so much love. I highly recommend her and will definitely have her care for Sunny in the future!!”
“Alysia is, without a doubt, the most spectacular human being I have ever encountered—and I’m not just saying that because she’s my best friend and knows all my secrets. She routinely defies the laws of time and space to go above and beyond for people, casually pulling off miracles even when her own schedule is a chaotic mess. Most importantly, she loves my fur babies like they are her own biological offspring, which means she is officially the favorite aunt. Whenever life decides to throw a curveball, Alysia is already there, cape on, stepping in to make sure absolutely everything is under control. 11/10 stars, highly recommend this human.”
“Alex is a fantastic sitter. She sent me lots of photos of Hank during my trip, and when circumstances held me up for an extra day, she was willing to extend the booking. I can feel confident leaving Hank with her, knowing that he will be in good hands, and I highly recommend Alex to any pet parent.”
“Heather is always so great with our Braz! She treats him like family and sends tons of updates while we are away. She’s always so friendly and understanding. We definitely will be booking with her again!”

“Kristina was amazing with Lincoln! He was very nervous and shy at first but she did amazing with him. She sent updates and pictures over the weekend so we could stay updated with how he was doing.”
“Tamakia was very great with communication from the start. She gave my dog the attention he needed and sent updates and pics throughout his stay. He received plenty of outside time and was able to make himself at home during his stay.”
