“Amanda was absolutely fantastic!! My cats both have health conditions and need medicine every 12 hours. Amanda always did her check ins really promptly and was super communicative throughout, really going the extra mile several times. I'm always a little nervous leaving my very old cats and she put my mind totally at ease. I would definitely have her back again and again!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 8 years of dog-sitting experience and 5+ years of being a dog owner myself. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely love. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup needs a relaxing day at home, lots of playtime, or long walks, I’m here to provide reliable and attentive care tailored to their needs. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors, so if your dog loves fresh air and long walks, we’ll get along great! I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly. Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and care every step of the way. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I work just 8 minutes from home, so I’m able to come back in the afternoons to walk and check in on any canine friend. I also spend my mornings and evenings outside on long walks, and I’d love for your dog to join! Because of my schedule, dogs are never left alone for more than about 4 hours at a time. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and time outdoors throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel relaxed and secure. I follow each dog’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or any specific instructions—to help them feel at home. I never leave dogs alone for more than about 4 hours, and I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and outdoor time every day. I’m always attentive to their behavior and needs, and I keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime to ensure their safety. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and routines, and I aim to keep everything as consistent as possible for your pet. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet will always be treated with the same care, attention, and love as my own.
“Roselle did an amazing job taking care of our fluffy cat, Mogul. She was communicative and organized throughout the entire process which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy and well cared for kitty and we’ll definitely ask Roselle to check in on Mogul in the future!”

“Alyssa is a dream catsitter and I will definitely book her again! She made sure that the cats were well-fed and clean, and she always played with them and gave them extra pets. Earl, Yo-Yo, and I all recommend her!”

“Juanita was absolutely the best! She understood my cat really well, from giving him space and time at first (he's shy to start with), to playing with his favorite toys and letting him sit on her lap as if they were good friends a few days later. She was always on time (visiting him twice daily) and sent detailed and candid updates on Giacometti's life (his meals, his bathroom outputs, his moods). I could see she clearly cared about him and it was a huge relief leaving him with her for such a long period of time. She also picked up my mail and watered the plants and took out the trash - a real treasure of a pet friend! I will definitely ask her to look after my cat again.”

About: Dogs have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since 2017, I’ve provided trusted, multi-day pet sitting and boarding for friends, families, and repeat clients, caring for dogs of various sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m known for being calm, attentive, and dependable, with a strong ability to read dogs’ body language and help them feel comfortable in new environments. Friends often joke that I’m a “dog whisperer,” but I believe great care simply comes from patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals. I will always prioritize your dog’s comfort, safety, and routine, and I’m deeply grateful for the trust people place in me to care for their pets. Your dog will be treated with the same care, respect, and affection I’d give my own. I work from home so I can drop-in or walk your dog before work, at lunch, or after work. I will only commit to caring for your dog if I have the capacity to do so - your dog’s wellbeing is my first priority! Anytime I accept a request for service, I will read all details provided and ask questions in advance so as to make sure I understand the needs and quirks of your pup before entering your home or picking up your dog for a walk. When interacting with your furry friend, I will always put them in a position to succeed. In my mind, it’s my job to ensure your dog feels comfortable and safe in my presence. I will prioritize gaining, keeping, and growing the trust of your pup. I’ll prioritize communication with you as well so that you always know how our time together was spent.
“Eleanor is great! Lister needed some drop in visits and warmed up to her pretty quick. She even took him for a walk around the block and was quite intuitive about when Lister was in a mood to walk and when not. Great communication! Would definitely book again”

“Tira helped us out when we needed a last minute dog sitter and was great with Eevee. She took lots of photos and kept us updated. We’d be happy to have her watch Eevee again in the future!”

“Lorena took great care of my cat while I was away. She shared photos of him and gave me updates via his visit card. She also communicated quickly leading up to the visit. I would book Lorena again!”

“Thomas & Emma watched our puppy for 3 days which included 2 drop in visits per day. They were incredibly attentive, trustworthy and communicative. They even went above and beyond given the snow to have paw fits and pad balm to help goose in the snow/ice. Would rebook their service in a heartbeat!”

“Kerry is always 100% the best! When our train got cancelled, she agreed to stop in and take care of our girls on super short notice. She is such a life saver! The cats ADORE her”


“Gabrielle was an amazing pet sitter for my cat and I’m so glad I found her. My cat was having a lot of separation anxiety when I left for my trip, but Gabrielle took over like a professional cat whisperer and helped calm her and cared for her with her with a lot of attention to detail and I was so grateful! She was responsible, communicative, great with instructions and went above and beyond sending lots of pictures and updates for every visit which I loved, appreciated and looked forward to seeing everyday. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat is in such good hands. She’s been an absolute star sitter and I would highly recommend her!”

“Michael is wonderful - professional, prompt, clear communicator, and really great with my animals! He has a natural way with cats and took great care of my dog as well. I would definitely use him again.”

“Isabelle did a great job taking care of our kitty while we were traveling! She was very responsive on chat, and took amazingly cute photos of our boy during each check-in (I seriously don't know how she captured so many with him sticking his tongue out). We also really appreciate her flexibility with scheduling a last-minute meet-and-greet prior to our trip. Highly recommended and would totally book again.”

About: Dog mom to a senior 12 year-old Labrador Retriever I raised from when she was a puppy. Comfortable with nature walks, swimming, high-energy activities or just a walk around the neighborhood if that is what you would like :) Taking some time off before starting med school in August, so I am very flexible on days of the week/times that work for you and your pet At home, I have a fenced in-yard and one senior dog. When she’s not sleeping, I keep her busy with enriching activities and lots of outside time :)
“Was incredibly attuned to my lil anxious Winston, provided consistent helpful feedback & was just overall a perfect pet sitter for my baby boy! I was nervous using rover for the first time, and Rachel exceeded my expectations & went above and beyond. Will be working with her again!”

“Rebecca is wonderful – very responsible and communicated really well. She was so sweet to my cat. She did everything needed and gave my cat a lot of good pets. I really trust Rebecca and will definitely rebook her drop-in visits for my furry baby in the future. Thank you so much, Rebecca!! ❤️”

Taylor was so great at taking care of our cat that is managing hyperthyroidism through morning and evening medications. Though she has a slightly complex routine, Taylor handled it well and spent ample time giving our cat loving and attention. She left everything very clean and was responsive. Would absolutely work with Taylor again!

Emily took wonderful care of my 13 yr old cat, Sam. She sent detailed updates and lots of photos daily, which I so so appreciated! She is extremely conscientious and communicative, and I came home to find Sam in good spirits. I would absolutely book Emily again to look after Sam!

On time, very communicative. Our silver lab doesn’t trust many people and can be very standoffish. During the meet and greet he went up to Monica, sniffed, wagged his tail and felt comfortable with her. Our chocolate lab immediately brought her a toy-so he built trust with her. Will def use Monica again!
