“Samantha was great! We recently adopted a very active and playful kitten. She did a fantastic job keeping him occupied and safe while we were away. Samantha was very punctual and had great communication. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


“Lauren was wonderful! Excellent communication skills, and took great care of our two Aussies. She sent lots of picks and went above and beyond! They also warmed up to her quickly (which is unusual and speaks a lot to her character and skill with pets!)!!”


“Wendy is a cat lover, and gives loving care to all of the animals in her care. My kitties had plenty of food,water, and treats! Wendy went above and beyond what was expected ---- even kitty chin rubs and photos with messages every day. Also, the litter box was spotless! I would give her an A+. We don't travel often, but when we do, I'd have Wendy again. 😉”


“Meaghan responded quickly to my short notice request for a drop - in visit on the weekend She arrived on time and communicated well. I would definitely recomment her.”


“Our pups loved Ally! We had her scheduled for a few months doing drop-ins every weekday while my husband and I shifted our work schedules. Always so kind and responsive, and she sent the cutest pictures of our 2 dogs in the Rover cards!”


About: Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish are just a few examples of the variety of animals that other families and individuals have entrusted me to care for. I have 5 years of experience walking dogs of different sizes and ages, dog/cat-sitting for extended periods of time, and catering to each pet's individual needs. I have the patience and quick flexibility needed for young pups, and the compassion and detail-orientation needed for senior dogs and cats. You and I want the best for your animal friends, and I am able to diligently provide it! As I WFH, I am available for pet-sitting and walks 7 days a week Sunday-Saturday and can be booked as quickly as one day ahead (same day in special circumstances). I am flexible, responsive and only ask that we act with respect for both your time and mine! Your home and your pets will be treated with the utmost respect, care and dignity. I will follow an exceptional standard of care and will carry out any additional instructions that are communicated to me ahead of time. To ensure this, I offer the option to meet ahead of the booking to go over any details in person and a trial run at no additional cost. I will communicate regularly during pet-sitting periods and after any walks to ensure peace of mind. Trust and a job well done are both important to me!

About: I am a full-time working mom with 2 kids, 3 cats and 1 dog. I have years of experience walking, dog/cat sitting for friends, neighbors, family. I couldn't have a dog as a kid b/c we lived in an apartment so the first chance I was able to get my own dog, my husband and I adopted Buttons in 2009 when she was 4 months old and then Marty in 2013 at 10 weeks old. We also have 3 cats, Buttercup, Sox and Murray. We lost our 2 senior cats, Bruschi in 2024 and Seymour in 2019 at 18 and 12 yrs old. My soul dog, Buttons just passed away in March at 15 yrs old and for the last 9 months I administered daily subcutaneous fluids as well as supplements, probiotics, antibiotics on a daily basis to help support her kidney disease. I built her a wheelchair because she had arthritis but loved to walk and turned my old stroller into a dog stroller for her during her last days. I have another senior dog, Marty who is 12 and although doesn't take daily medication is a very anxious guy so learning to adapt and make his life amazing has been a learning curve since Buttons was such a laid back girl. I feel that dogs and cats and animals in general are an important part of your life, they teach us things that humans cannot and I feel that in my soul. I would be humbled to take care of your pets so that you do not have to worry at all. I work from home and typically can get away during a lunch break. I have the summers off and am pretty available during the weekdays. I have a fenced yard, I have experience walking an aggressive, anxious dog as well as a senior dog who needs to go slow and at her own pace. I have cats and am very conscious, even a bit paranoid at times of doors being left open or the window screens not being secure so I am always double checking those things.

About: As a professional dog trainer and experienced pet sitter, I provide safe, structured care for all dogs—no matter the breed, behavior, or background. I specialize in working with reactive, high-energy, and “difficult” dogs who need extra patience, understanding, and love. Whether it’s a walk, a visit, or behavioral support, your dog is in confident, capable hands. I currently work mornings to mid afternoon as a dog trainer at a facility so I am available to care for your pup weekday afternoons and overnights. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on maintaining their routine and comfort to reduce stress. Whether it's dog walking, pet sitting, or training sessions, I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to your pet’s needs. For dogs, this includes exercise, bathroom breaks, feeding, and positive reinforcement training when appropriate. I only board in clients’ homes to keep pets more comfortable!

About: I started late caring pet. But I am a super good observer of the dogs and I care about the dogs. I play with them and make sure they stay with me having fun. With the dog, I juggle tennis balls , kick soccer ball, throw frisbee. When I walk the dog, the dog enjoys walking and listening my whistling, I am currenly open for daily rouines such as walking and house sitting. When needed, i can stay with the per overnight. I am open for weekends so that it would be very convenient if you need to short trip away. I care about the dog safty very much. I can quickly adapt to the client's home and set it up properly to make the dog safe. When I walk with the dog, I make sure it is leashed well and secure.

“Mia was super great! She kept me informed of her visits with Ellie and I know she had a great time based on the photos she sent. She looked so happy and content during her playtimes. I would love to have Mia come take care of Ellie again soon!!”


About: Growing up, my family rescued dogs who experienced behavioral problems. I believe that any dog deserves love and proper care by a trusted individual. I am capable of providing meals, going on walks, playing, bath time and brushing, or just hanging out as company for the pups. I work part-time currently and would LOVE to spend the rest of my free time helping out the pets and their families in the area. I’m free Wednesdays and Fridays from noon to 9pm, Thursdays 10am-2pm, and Saturdays from 3-10pm. I don’t do any house-sitting in my own home. I can provide transportation to dog parks or to the pet store, wherever you need! I can assist senior dogs with physical impairments and provide comfort for anxious dogs as well. I value understanding the wants and needs for the family and their dog, putting your needs first in your home. I am very active and prioritize your pups fitness so active playing and taking walks are vital. I also would let the dog go outside either leashed or unleashed depending on if there’s a fence or not. Any other questions, feel free to contact me:)

“Erin did a great job checking in on our 2 cats. Our senior cat takes a pill and Erin was able to make sure he got it whille we were out of town. I was happy with the amount of communication she provided. Everything was great! Would definitely recommend Erin.”

Melissa F.
“I cannot emphasize enough how much I recommend my sister, Melissa, as a pet sitter. Growing up with her and seeing her love and natural connection with animals, I am confident in saying she is not only compassionate but also responsible in caring for pets of any kind. Melissa has always had a deep connection with animals and it shows in the way she cares for them. Whether it’s providing basic care, like walks or feeding, or more extensive care, like administering medication or even IV fluids; which she has years of experience with; she ensures that each animal feels safe and loved. She is always patient and understanding of each animals unique needs and mindful of routines, such as administering medication at certain times or things like specific dietary needs. Melissa cares for each pet as if they were her own, so if you’re looking for someone reliable, loving, and attentive I cannot recommend her enough. She truly loves animals and will go above and beyond to make sure yours feels loved, safe, happy and well cared for in your absence.”
