About: Hello!! I am an absolute dog lover, I’ve dog-sit for friends and family including feeding, walking, and playing with their animals! Im very attentive to detail and making sure feeding and walking stays consistent with their daily schedule. I have experience with very high energy dogs as I’ve primarily taken care of dogs from the range of 1-3 years old. I’m free all days of the week from early mornings to late evenings. I am also available to do multiple walks throughout the day if needed. While I am not providing care in my own home I would typically clean up, make sure there is nothing that is of danger to the dogs. I also will remove any food or drink off my counters, typically for the larger dogs that may be able to reach them.

Binta was a wonderful sitter for my Cleo! I appreciate how she took the time to get to know Cleo and wrote meaningful updates. Cleo is a shy, reserved girl but Binta was able to get through to her! I hope to book with Binta again in the future. Thanks for everything, Binta!!

⸻ Let me just say—after my first two dog sitters, I almost gave up on this app 🙂. But I’m so glad I found Victor. He is incredibly kind and truly cares. My dog absolutely loves him—he wags his tail and gets just as excited to see Victor as he does to see me, which says everything. Victor is also very reliable. He doesn’t just stick to the exact booked time or show up late like others. He often arrives a few minutes early and sometimes stays a little longer, which I really appreciate. It shows how genuine and dedicated he is. I also have a camera at home, since my dog can’t tell me about his day—and it’s clear that Victor treats him with care and attention. That gives me a lot of peace of mind. He will definitely be my to-go dog sitter moving forward!

About: Hi! I'm a college student working toward vet school, so caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it’s what I genuinely love doing. I've had my own cat for 5 years, so I know what it's like to be a pet parent. I've also spent plenty of time watching other people’s dogs and cats, from very high energy puppies to older dogs who just want a quiet environment. I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. If something’s wrong I will reach out immediately. Since I'm on summer break, I have a pretty open schedule, but I do like to be upfront about my specific availability. I'm available Monday through Friday all day. On Saturdays, I'm available after 4:00 PM. I can also do evening visits, but I wrap things up by 10:00 PM. My schedule is pretty open until I start class the 28th of August. I will have class on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11am to 1:45pm and Fridays from 10am to 1:45pm. I know routines are really important to pets, so I'll work around whatever schedule your pet is used to, like midday walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening check-ins before bed. Consistency is very important! I only provide care in your home because I believe that pets are more comfortable in their own environment, with their own things and smells. I'm really careful with doors or any gates and will always make sure to double check every exit to make sure your pet stays safely inside. I will treat your home the way I'd want mine treated, I will clean up after myself, wash any bowls I use, and leave things tidy. I'll also send any updates/photos at every visit so you can see how things are going. I will also save your vet's contact info, just in case of any emergency. I always like to be prepared for anything.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been caring for them for over 24 years. In addition to helping friends and family with their pets, I’ve volunteered in animal shelters and gained experience with many different dogs. I treat every dog with patience, care, and respect. I work full-time, but pet care fits well into my routine. I’m available for care during weekdays and fully available on weekends. I always make time to give dogs proper attention, walks, and consistency. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow each dog’s routine closely, keep doors and leashes secure, and supervise interactions at all times. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment.

Brionna is AMAZING! I have a 2 year old cat that I recently adopted and was nervous as this was the first time I would ever be away from my kitty but Brionna’s calm and kind demeanor quickly put me at ease! She was so communicative leading up to the visit and throughout. Her daily photos and remarks let me know that Tortellini was safe, cared for and comfortable! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of Tortellini again :)

About: I’ve cared for animals of all ages. I used to go to zoology camps when I was a kid and used to want to be a vet. Having the trust of an animal is a privilege and a blessing and I do not take these things for granted 💙 I work part time at a fitness studio and substitute teach. I’d love to pop by and check on your furry loved ones or take your pooch for a walk before or after work or on weekends when I’m not with my own cat 🐈‍⬛ I love guidance and instructions - if you leave them, I’ll follow them to a ‘T’. Also, not to brag, but animals love me. In addition to wanting to be a vet when I was a child, a Disney princess surrounded by woodland creatures was high on the list!

Lee is an amazing dog sitter and walker -- over the course of almost 2 years we worked with Lee in NY as our primary sitter/walker. He was incredibly responsive via text, the app or otherwise. With walking he walked my Dane - Ryan 2-5 times a week and would flex to show up when I was often late at the office. Lee also stayed at my home with Ryan often - he was clean, respectful of the space an totally attentive to my pup. My roommate mentioned rarely noticing he had even been there. When Lee wasn't available he had friends on recommendation who were amazing and even went out of his way to hand off his set of keys to them. Lee became such a part of Ryan's life often he was more excited when Lee arrived than when I did! We've since moved to LA and will miss him greatly!

About: Hello! My name is Cameron M, and I’m a dedicated and experienced animal caretaker with over 10 years of experience providing attentive, compassionate care for pets. I’ve spent years looking after family and neighborhood animals—dogs, cats, and small pets—ensuring they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering care, or providing companionship, I make sure every animal receives the proper attention and affection they deserve. Your pets’ well-being is always my top priority, and I strive to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life and something I truly enjoy. I’ve spent over 10 years caring for family and neighborhood pets, so feeding, walking, and spending quality time with animals has become second nature to me. I love starting my mornings with walks or playtime and making sure every pet I look after feels comfortable and loved throughout the day. Whether it’s drop-in visits, daily walks, or overnight care, I always make time to give each pet the attention they deserve. When caring for pets, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure pets are relaxed in their familiar environment. I spend plenty of time giving them attention, exercise, and affection, so they never feel lonely while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16, and animals have always been part of my life. From playful puppies to gentle baby bunnies, I’ve loved and looked after them all. I’ve had dogs and cats of my own, and I’ve also pet-sat for friends — making sure their pets not only stayed safe but had plenty of playtime and attention. I know how much our furry (and fluffy!) friends mean to us, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. ⸻ 🐾 Weekend Pet Care Available! 🐾 I’m free on weekends to care for your pets until September. Starting then, I’ll be available full-time during the week as well! Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, your pets will be in loving hands. I provide a safe and loving environment for your pets. I make sure everything is kept clean, with fresh food and water always available. I follow your schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime so your pets feel comfortable and cared for just like you would do.

So grateful Michele was available to watch our boys again while we were out of town for a trip. This year they are now all on prescription food and our older kitty also has some fiber supplements. Michele navigated this easily, sent videos and pictures of all 4 kitties (and the fish!) each day. Everything was taken care of and she will always be my first call if we need a sitter.
