“Ravilia took great care of my two cats. She follow our instructions and made sure they were fed and well taken care while we were away. She also cleaned up the mess my cats like to make when they eat or use the litter box which other sitters tend to ignore and I always come back to a mess. I appreciate she took the time to clean up.”


“Stephanie has been wonderful taking care of my dogs and cats while I was traveling. Really appreciate having a reliable pet sitter vi will definitely call Stephanie again.”

Our family loves going on walks, and we have a fenced backyard for the safety of the dogs and our children. They are welcome in and out of the house.

“I had such a great experience with Diana! My dog took to her immediately, which says a lot—she’s a young puppy new to our home, so she has been very shy as she warms up to people. Diana clearly has a natural way with animals and made her feel safe and comfortable right away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”


“Elena’s services truly felt like a gift. Of all the things I was worried about for our trip (packing, plane ride, connecting flights, etc.) I felt totally comfortable and confident that she would take wonderful care of our cats, and I was right! She gave us picture updates, sweet memos and anecdotes about our babies and was very punctual. She took the time to get to know them and was very patient and careful with them. We are so grateful for her services and can’t wait to work with her again!!”

“Victoria did a fantastic job with my two cats. One is extremely shy and seems to vanish when a new person comes to the house. She was very patient and didn’t give up until she found her. (Our other cat would have eaten her food for sure) I really appreciate good communication and Victoria made me feel confident she was taking care of what was needed. She also brought the Amazon packages in from the front porch. One was really heavy!! I gave Victoria 5 stars! :) Glad to have found a pet sitter I can count on.”


“I sent a super last minute request to Kevin to check in on Maverick when I got stuck away from home. He was quickly responsive to agree to care for Maverick even on short notice. He sent plenty of photos where Maverick looked super happy, walked him, fed him for me, and made sure he was okay while I was away from home. 10/10 care and would book again!”

About: Hello, i have grown up with dogs myself through out my life. I like to help out family and friends when they are busy and need a hand. I can walk, feed and play with your pet! Most people say I am reliable and feel at ease when I take care of their pet. I am current nursing student and looking to get some steps in while taking care of your pet. I have many slots to fill in through out my day.A quick walk is great study break for me and a walk for your dog! I am open to coming to your home and walking or taking care of your dog ! It is important for me to know a little about your pet so I can be further prepared.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for 10 years and grew up surrounded by dogs and other animals, so taking care of them has always been second nature to me. I’ve looked after pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior animals that need extra care. What makes me different is my patience and love for animals—I make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m a part-time working student with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate time to pet care. While I balance my studies and work, I can still ensure pets receive the attention, care, and companionship they need. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or simply providing comfort, I’m able to fit pet care into my routine. I provide pet care in my client’s home, ensuring their pets are comfortable and well cared for in their familiar environment. Since I live in an apartment shared with other students, I’m unable to offer in-home care at my place. However, I’m happy to assist with feeding, playtime, walks, and general care at the pet’s home, making sure they feel safe.
