Jessica went above and beyond in caring for my rambunctious cat while I was out of town. My cat doesn’t always like people but he loved her right away and Jessica did such a wonderful job sending photos and updates. When I came home I could tell that my baby was well taken care of. I cannot recommend Jessica enough!

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and currently have two of my own. I’ve cared for them in every way and am the primary person who looks after my friends’ and neighbors’ cats when they’re away. I’ve also dog sat and walked friends’ and neighbors’ dogs when they’re at work or on vacation. I’m currently in volunteering part time and about to start a masters program (online) so I have a pretty open schedule, I’m definitely able to stop by during a work day. I’m also around for the holidays so am available while people travel at the end of the year I’m more than comfortable spending time at a pet’s home with them or take them out on walks as necessary. I’ve looked after pets who need a lot of play and others who just want someone to sit next to and I’m good with either

Maia was great with our super shy 10 month old kitties. She provided prompt communication, adorable photos, and took good care of our home. We're looking forward to having her back here again soon. Thanks Maia!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments for over 6 years. Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship to their pets. I’m comfortable with high-energy puppies, gentle with seniors, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and happy while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I’m currently working from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and for drop-ins, walks, or playtime on weekdays. With this open schedule, I can give your pets the time, energy, and attention they deserve without rushing. I provide a safe and loving care with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends.. My priority is building trust with both pets and owners , keeping pets comfortable, secure, and cared for like they are my own.

I highly recommend Kat! She was very flexible with my changing schedule. She was also very good at keeping me updated while I was away, and I trusted her completely to care for my two cats for multiple days. Kat is also a great photo taker! I am a repeat customer and I will continue to use Kat if I ever need another sitter.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, ever since I was born. I currently have a one-year-old dog named Nala, and she’s truly my best friend. I’ve always been surrounded by family dogs and have done plenty of dog sitting over the years, but having my own dog made me realize that the love and connection are so much deeper than I ever imagined. I bring that same care and affection to every dog I look after. I have experience with overnights, walks, and drop-in visits, and I always make sure pets feel loved, safe, and happy while in my care. Pet care is already part of my daily life! I work as a house manager, and one of my main responsibilities is caring for two dogs, feeding, walking, and keeping them company. I work Monday through Friday from 12pm to 6pm, so I’m available every morning, Fridays all day, and on weekends. I love taking care of pets in their own homes since it’s usually the most comfortable for them. I live in a small apartment, so I can’t offer boarding at my place. I make sure to get to know each pet’s personality and routines to keep them safe and happy. I also like to maintain clear communication with owners, providing updates and answering any questions along the way.

Nicole was very understanding of my shy, anxious puppy. She was super patient with him and he warmed up to her quicker than he normally does with new people. Would definitely recommend Nicole and plan on booking her again :)

About: I’ve dog sat for friends and family in the past 2 years and I’ve loved the experience. Happy to provide references and chat more about my experience. My best friend lives on my floor and we take walks with his dog every morning and evening so it’s very well incorporated in my schedule I make my place conducive for pets since I have one visit often. No cords laying around, vacuumed floors and room temperature thermostat. This also applies to client apartments

Charlotte is a wonderful pet sitter!! She was communicative, responsible, and very thoughtful in taking care of my cat. It was supposed to be hotter than I expected while I was away, and she was great about checking in and offering to help keep my apartment cool for my cat's comfort. He also was so happy to get some lap time and company with her! She's awesome and reliable, and I will absolutely be booking her again for future sitting needs.

About: I love animals and have been around fur pets since I was a child. I have experience with big dogs, puppies, senior dogs, and kittens. My previous neighbor used to foster kittens while I dog sat for my friends, family, landlords, neighbors, etc. Dogs and cats are my therapy and love some cuddles and jogs. I have my own 7 month old female puppy who absolutely loves all dogs. She’s shy towards people but dogs are her favorite. I have a hybrid schedule with flexibility during the week and weekends. I’m flexible and open to sitting, walking, runs, or just check-in’s. I’m typically busiest on Tuesdays and likely only available in the late afternoon. We love communication so I’m always happy to send updates and have experience with dogs who need extra attention and/or healing pets. For my puppies/kittens they’re learning so a little patience and attention to fostering their schedule/training is important. These animals are like my children so showing them the same love and care is important to me.
