“Michele was lovely to work with. It’s clear she loves animals very much. She was very communicative and easy to work with. My little babies were well taken care of on her visits. Thank you!”
“Booked Erica again as they are a SUPERSTAR when taking care of my pup and cat. Always great photos, detailed descriptions, healthy happy pets when im home, and a nice well kept home.”
“Roy went above and beyond to make sure each short drop in took care of any anxiety I could have being away from my furbaby. And my cat seems to like him even more then I do because I got lots of cute/funny updates. Roy followed my odd directions better then anybody else I’ve booked, and I really appreciate how thorough he was throughout the whole process, double checking everything. 10/10 recommend and will be booking again if he’s available next time I’m heading out of town! Thanks Roy. 😊”
“Cali got the love and attention she needed plus she loved them! Thank you so much for taking care of my baby❤️”
About: I live in a single family home with a huge fully fenced in yard. I also work from home so the pets will never be left unattended. I have lots of experience with pet caretaking. I’ve fostered senior hospice dogs, puppies and rambunctious youthful dogs. I can confidently do it all while also using positive reinforcement to help train dogs and puppies while they’re in my care. If you’re booking me for dog walking, you should know your pup will not go on a quick walk but he or she will get a lot of mental enrichment and play time so you don’t have to worry about high energy levels at night. I work from home working with pets so I have plenty of time to give these pets all the care and attention they need. I’m pretty much always available to help. In my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly space with constant supervision and a routine that includes regular potty breaks, playtime, and quiet time. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and free from hazards. I follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, or special needs. I give regular updates so pet parents feel confident and connected while they’re away.
“Jake was great. Super responsive and even came to meet the cats before he was scheduled. He took great care of the kiddos.”
“Reliable and great with dogs!”
“Michael was great with the cats. They both really liked him. He was very diligent - took lots of pictures and provided good updates. He was also very communicative, professional, and punctual. Can’t recommend him enough!”
About: I have a pup of my own who is dying to play with your little one! I have 5+ years of experience caring for dogs, including my own, and would love to add your dog into the mix! I’m currently between jobs, so I’m able to be home during the day and night. I can always adjust my schedule to fit your dog’s needs! I have one dog who is friendly and loves other dogs. I’m able to crate if needed and can adjust to fit your needs! I do not have a yard but I live across the street from a large green space.
About: Hello pet parents Let me reassure you that all your furry companions will be well taken care of. I have 12 years experience with small dogs( Silky Terrier ), 4 years and counting with large dogs (Pit Bull Terrier), and recently 2 months with kittens (European short hair). All the experience is personal, therefore you can trust that I will treat your babies like my own. Just so you get an idea of how dedicated I am; I trained my own baby with the basic command even with no dog training background. Regardless of their temperament, size, age or breed they’re all welcome to join the pack. I will take my time to create a bond with not only your furry friend but also you to insure both of you feel comfortable.
“Audrey was super responsive and quickly built trust. I felt confident having her in my home to watch my high maintenance senior Doggo. Thanks Audrey!”
About: I have had dogs as pets since I was 7 years old. From an early age, I quickly found my love for animals and gained a great sense of responsibility as I cared for my animals. Throughout high school and college, I have had experience in watching the pets of many friends, family members, and coworkers. I enjoy spoiling them and treating them as my own! Currently, I have a 2.5-year-old Pekingese named Petunia! I adopted her when she was 15 weeks old, so I have some experience in potty/behavioral training for puppies. My care for other people's pets has included daily walks/potty breaks, along with some overnight stays. I am currently a student in graduate school and I am looking for part-time work as a means of additional income! During weekdays, I will be available for the late afternoon and evening. I am also open to booking weekends (Friday-Sunday). I have one friendly dog living at home that would keep your pet company. If needed, I also have the means to keep your pet and their crate/food bowl in a separate space. I will ensure your pet’s area stays clean and dry and that they always have access to water (and food as needed).
“Kash was reliable, punctual, and very communicative which is always a comfort for pet owners when away!”
About: As a cat owner of 4, I offer expert, personalized care. My experience includes senior cat and dog care, sick cat care, and providing loving, attentive service to ensure your pets feel safe and happy. I can petsit for you basically any time because I work remotely. I can take the bus just about anywhere in the city on days I don't have the car. While my cats are often very chill, they are young and can get frisky. They also don't care for strange animals. So, in everyone's best interest, I would strongly prefer to petsit at my clients' home.

“Dog sitter needed? I highly recommend Jesica Medina! I’m a dog owner of two pitbull’s. One of 2 years and another of 6months. In the short time my babies were being taken care by Jesica, my smallest pitbull has managed to learn how to sit and is now potty trained! Now keep in mind she only took care of them for about 2 months. She is able to comely train and understand our pets needs. I would not hesitate to leave my pups with her again! Highly recommend!!”
