1. Jamie B.

“She is so amazing and very sweet! She made my dog feel at ease and took very good care of him. I will definitely be reaching out again.”


2. Kate & Aaron D.
“Kate and Aaron are my neighbors so I see them on a daily basis. In general they are the kind of people who do everything in a way that makes you stop and think, "I need to step up my game as a grown up." I have never seen them do anything without the upmost care and attention to detail. They have watched my dog on occasions and taken care of our cats while we are out of town, and it is the same way. It's a good thing my dog isn't very big, because when I pick her up she doesn't want to leave so I have to grab her. I couldn't think of anybody who would treat your animals better, or provide a better environment for them. Can't recommend them enough.”


3. Stephanie T.
“Stephanie has taken care of our two pups on multiple occasions while we were away. She always ensures to continue reinforcing our training and provides love and care to them. They get so excited every time they see her! She is their favorite person! She is easy to communicate with and always provides updates to us while we are away. Stephanie has pets of her own and they also get along great with ours! She makes ours feel like part of her family. She is such a kind hearted person and is a natural with animals! I highly encourage her services. I can guarantee both you and your pets will feel grateful.”

6. Emily E.
“Emily has been a trusted pet caregiver to my cat, Bruce, for the last three years. I met Emily through a mutual friend who recommended her after I mentioned needed the extra help. She has always been very reliable, responsible, and respectful. Bruce absolutely adores her and perks up when she walks through the door. Occasionally, I’ve had her pet sit overnight and Bruce does really well with her. I especially like that she sends photos and updates of their time together. I would definitely recommend her if you want someone who is kind, caring and passionate about animals.”


7. Anna M.


“Anna was fantastic. I have always had anxiety about leaving my kitty alone for long periods of time, but when I hired Anna to do daily check ins all of that anxiety melted away. She was always consistent, on time, and provided many wonderful pictures and updates. I will request her services anytime I have to leave town. ?”

9. Eliya B.
About: I’ve had family dogs all my life, taking on responsibilities like feeding, walking, and ensuring their well-being. Caring for them taught me to be attentive to their needs and emotions. Beyond my own pets, I’ve always bonded with and cared for the dogs of friends and family, naturally becoming the go-to pet sitter. My knowledge of animal semiotics helps me understand canine body language, ensuring that every dog feels safe, respected, and loved. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog needing gentle care, I provide patient, personalized attention to make them comfortable and happy. As a graduate student with weekday night classes, I have plenty of availability during the day and on weekends to care for pets. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or extended care, I can provide attentive, personalized attention when owners need it most. I’m also available for overnight sits after classes, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize each pet’s needs, offering consistent care and companionship. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize following all instructions closely to maintain their routine and comfort. I pay careful attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I also take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, likes, and dislikes to ensure they feel safe and happy while their owner is away. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make every pet feel cared for and at ease in their own space.


10. Aaron S.
“Aaron loves all animals has had cats and dogs since he was young. Animals are always attracted to him. He loves looking after them and taking them for walks.”


11. Sachika I.
About: Hi! I’m Sachika, 28 years old, and I've grown up with various pets—dogs, bunnies, hamsters, and more. While this will be my first year walking other dogs, I’ve been walking my dog for years and love it! I’m thrilled to share my passion for animals and help other dogs enjoy their daily walks. I’m committed to giving each dog personalized care, ensuring they get exercise and plenty of love on every walk! I currently have a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. As a morning person, I’m able to accommodate owners’ schedules and ensure your pet gets the care they need at a time that works for you. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable and safe space, ensuring they have plenty of room to relax, play, and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, playtime, and any special care needs they may have. When caring for pets in a client's home, I will maintain their usual environment, ensuring their comfort and familiarity while providing them with lots of attention, walks, and cuddles. I also make sure to stick to any specific instructions given by the owner for the pet's care.


12. Sean J.

“As usual, Luna adores Sean & he was super flexible, accommodating, and communicative!”


13. Madisyn G.
About: I’ve always been around animals since I was little, particularly bigger dogs, but I love all! I have experience with caring for hyper-energetic dogs as well as extremely sick dogs. Since I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of off days as well as time before and after shifts to care for pets! While I currently cannot have pets in my home due to the amount of space, I have plenty experience in caring for pets in others homes through family and friends.


14. carolina c.
“Carolina is a true animal lover. She is compassionate and truly cares about our furry friends. She understands that our pets are not just pet to us but family members. Having someone that understands that we treat our pets as an extension of our family is rare. I appreciate her kind heart and joy she brings when she's around our furry family members.”


15. Alexandria W.
“Alex has always been the most gentle with my precious puppers Snooki. I always trust her to take the best care of Snooki whether that be long walks or playing with her until she is worn out. I am confident when I leave her in Alex's hands that I do not need to worry!”


16. Lauren W.
“Lauren is a pleasure to work with! She has cared for my 4 animals for years now. Every time I go out of town or just have a long day out she will do drop ins or over night. She is kind, gentle, organized, is great with instructions and a great communicator. 10/10 would recommend!!!”


17. Yoo Jee K.

“Thank you, Yoo Jee for taking care of our dogs! Both my dogs are very strong and have a lot of energy, so they're not the easiest to handle, but Yoo Jee did a wonderful job handling them and making sure their needs were met!”


18. Charlotte M.
“Charlotte has cared for our dog, Basja, a labradoodle and our former dog, Lucy, an Airedale. She has given them much great love and exercise. Charlotte has an intuitive sense for what both dogs were experiencing, whether a nascent hurt paw, a hair mat beginning to form, nails needing clipping or just a well timed water dish refill. Charlotte is very affectionate with animals in general and is sensitive to where dogs are on their life span; older dogs needing to rest and puppies needing to play. She is "in tune" with dogs temperaments and truly loves spending time in their company. I think she would be an excellent dog walker and dog sitter. She certainly has been for us.”


19. Itzel S.

“It usually takes time for my indoor cat to warm up to a stranger. But she approached Itzel when she saw her standing in the kitchen. I also appreciated her keeping me posted while I was gone. Her gentleness with the indoor cat helped me to feel more relaxed about being away. Itzel was reliable, and I appreciated the service she provided.”


20. Kevin O.
“Kevin is the ultimate dog lover. Your pets cannot be in better hands. He's reliable and kind and made sure our elderly dogs were always safe and loved.”
