“Jessica made me feel so comfortable leaving my 2 cats home while we were away. I got pictures for every visit and she really allowed me to enjoy my trip without stressing!!”
About: I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years. All of my dogs have been rescues, several have been shy dogs that have needed extra TLC. I think I have a special talent in connecting with shy dogs and helping them come out of their shell. I also love working with extroverted dogs who love to play and interact. I have a full-time mostly WFH job. I'm available for after-hour drop ins and walks, weekend visits, overnights, and boarding. I know how hard it can be to find pet-care (especially during off hours) and I'd like to help with that. My home is safe and secure with a small fenced in backyard away from the road. I have two dogs to keep your pets company. I can help with crating your dog as well. Our home is quiet, serene, and private.
“Olivia was fantastic! Don't hesitate to use her to watch any of your furry friends! She was quick to respond to any requests, very responsive and sent me pics of my dog each time she came. Highly recommend!!”
“Jessica was very accommodating with my relatively short notice trip. One of my cats can be very shy but he felt comfortable enough to come for most of her visits. Everything looked great when I returned home. I would definitely use Jessica again!”
“Heather was awesome and someone who is trustworthy kind and has a great attitude and love for animals. My cat was very well taken care of and i will forever be so grateful. This is the first time i had a cat sitter and i am so so thankful i found heather in time. Cannot recommend her enough”
About: As a lifelong dog owner and proud owner of a golden retriever, I understand the love and care these furry friends deserve. I am passionate about providing the best companionship, exercise, and attention to your dog—just like I do for my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’m dedicated to making sure your dog feels loved, safe, and happy. Let me be your trusted partner in caring for your pup and giving them the attention they deserve! I’m an educator and currently have an open summer schedule to give your dog plenty of love and attention. I am open for a daily or weekly care plan. The way I care for pets, whether in my own home or a client's, depends on their specific needs and the services provided. I prioritize safety, love, and attention. I ensure they have water and food. I tailor activities to their age, breed, and health requirements—like walks, playtime, or cuddles. If I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep open communication to ensure everything runs smoothly.
About: Hello! my name is Kayla and I have owned a dog for a long as I can remember starting at age 4. I also worked at a doggie daycare for about three years where I obtained experience working with a variety of breeds and temperaments. Daily tasks there included: play time, food prep and feeding, and medication administration. I currently work 3 days a week, so I have a ton of availability on my days off! Those days can differ from week to week so feel free to reach out and I will let you know if I’m available I am confident in my ability to keep your pup safe during our interactions. I am cognizant that’s dogs may rush the door when a new visitor is arriving, i am always checking doors behind me. If your pup needs to be fed during my visit I will be thorough in following any feeding directions you leave.
“Kaprice was kind and patient with our cat Dot while we were away. She followed our care instructions, left visit notes, and gave Dot lots of pets. I would recommend hiring her to care for your furry family member!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments since I was 18. Now working in the medical side, I am able to make sure pets get their medications (including insulin) appropriately. I am mostly able to care for pets during the weekends or at nights. My work schedule at the veterinarian keeps me busy during the weekdays. I am unfortunately not able to offer pet care at my personal home. I am more than willing to travel to a clients house to care for their pets in their most comfortable environment.
“Olivia has been absolutely wonderful with my dog - and so, so communicative. My dog loved her right away! I couldn't be happier - I've already rebooked her twice.”
About: I’ve had several large breed dogs since I was a child. I am comfortable handling dogs that pull and are like little tanks. My rottie used to stop and sniff everything, and he set our pace on walks. I’m an adjunct English professor, so I can also help your pets with their college admission essays.I am open all summer, but will be teaching in the evenings this fall. I can’t currently care for your pets in my apartment, because my cats said no, but I will be respectful and careful in your home.
About: Very patient with pets. I’ve cared for different types of dogs and sizes since 9 years old including some puppy training, cleaning up after them, feeding them and even washing the pet if needed also I’m pretty timely and your pet will have enough backyard space to play around or play indoors. I’ll be working part time and the days i will be available for now are Sundays after 3 pm then Wednesdays and Thursday’s at anytime. I have a dog gate inside my house if needed as well no harmful products near by . Also I have family members who love dogs and will give plenty of love and attention to your pet so they feel cared for. My backyard has a huge dog cage just in case for separation if anything. Lastly I currently have no pets so no jealously will happen.
“Betsy was the perfect fit for us. I am very appreciative.”
About: five years ago today i got my rescue mutt, jackson, & he is an absolute treasure to me. i've got a nice backyard, dog parks, hiking trails, & beaches nearby. jack is especially gentle with small dogs & children & perfectly well-behaved with everyone else except squirrels & cats. i'm a freelance musician so my schedule varies a lot - some weeks i'm available 24-7, others i'm working down in nyc, or further out of town. i'm in the process of shifting towards a more local life & will update this space as that process continues, but for now, just ask & i'll answer right away. big backyard with tall fences, me & my very friendly small lab mutt mix (50 lbs), comfy home with lots of great places to run & play nearby - anything else, just ask.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 13. I also have experience with quite a few animals due to being raised in a home with multiple different animals. I am currently per diem at work so I have a bigger availability for pet sitting. My schedule is more open in that case, making it the best fit. I am very attentive and cater to the pets needs. With the experience that I have it does not make things difficult for me in both matters.
“Will hire Amanda again in a heartbeat. She was great and kept me informed on how Chloe was doing and sent lots of pictures!”
About: I always joke that dogs know my intentions when I meet them, but I really believe it’s true. What are my intentions you ask? To love them and feel their love back ☺️ I’m currently unemployed and exploring starting my own business, so I have lots of free time for pups. Plus being around dogs brings me so much joy, it’s a welcome escape from my previous jobs in marketing. Being in the pup’s own home allows them to feel more comfortable, but I also love to be outside with them, whether at the park or at he beach, keeping myself and them active.
About: I’ve had person experience with taking care of pets since I was 10. Often times I have helped with pet sitting family pets as well. With my prior experience, I once had 4 dogs. 2 big and 2 small. Taking them out often even to just play was very highly encouraged at the time. Now currently a cat mom to two kitties :) I can provide the best comfort for your pet. I can easily crate your dog if needed. If something is to be communicated, i’ll reciprocate.

“My sister, Samantha, has had a life-long affinity for animals of all kinds. She is loving and compassionate, which pets gravitate toward. My 11-year-old cattle dog Roscoe, who can be very particular, loves his Aunt Sammi. If I say her name, he viscerally reacts with excitement. He loves to see her and if I ever need her to dog sit, I know he's in great hands. I highly recommend her for any pet walking, sitting, boarding or other pet-related activities you might need.”

Angela is an amazing care giver for my cat, she even left me a scoop since I just moved into my new unit! Highly recommend her !
Azeen was super helpful and communicated well. My cats are very shy with new people, and she patiently tried to engage them, which I really appreciated. They never warm up to someone after just a few visits, but Azeen still made sure to get photos of them - even though they were under the bed! I would be happy to have her petsit again.
Maisha is the best! Bella loves spending time with her and she is so caring to her. Don’t know how I would survive traveling out of town without knowing my Bella is in good hands with her 🥰
Leah was an excellent cat sitter! Our cats are very shy and she was able to socialize with one of them which is a big step. We really appreciate her help taking care of them!
Laura (Mengdongxue) is an incredibly kind, warm, and thoughtful cat-sitter! I'm so grateful for how well she cared for my cat – my cat absolutely loved her. I really appreciated Laura's open communication and all the cute photos she shared.
Great job taking care of henry and I appreciated the updates throughout the day. Henry enjoyed his time!
5 Star Recommended! Nancy helped me take good care with Kiwi and kiwi loves her. Totally absolutely loved her and appreciated her!
Mankamal never rushes through her visits and takes her time to care for and play with my cat with each visit. She’s a responsive communicator and I have always felt that Lola was in great hands with her!
Mikayla and Justin are simply great. They took great care of my dog Thelma, who can be very skiddish as she is a rescue. Mikayla and Justin spent ample time letting Thelma warm up to them before taking her out for a walk. I would 10/10 recommend them for any pet care and I will definitely be booking them again for Thelma!
Rachel has been so good and reliable looking after my cat! Love getting cute videos of my cat playing with her and seeing her calm. Will definitely book her again!
My dog adores Olivia, and she's always so thoughtful and conscientious - thanks again for taking great care of my Della!
We have hired Nicholas for our golden Dex a few times. He is wonderful with him and you can tell he loves dogs! He is very responsive and sends us videos and pictures. We will continue to use him in the future! 🐾
Isabel did a great job with Oliver and sent a very helpful report. It was a pleasure working with her!
Dave was great! Nala was well taken care of and he made sure to send pictures every day. I'll definitely book with Dave again.
Spencer exhibits exceptional kindness and compassion. From their initial meeting, Atlas has held a deep admiration for Spencer. He thoughtfully provided treats to enhance her experience and demonstrates remarkable gentleness and care in his interactions. Furthermore, Spencer consistently shares photographs and maintains communication both during and after each visit. I highly encourage potential clients to consider his services, as he is truly outstanding in his role.
Diana was great. We did a virtual meet and greet; but it went well! She showed up and took great care of the dogs and even fed them! Would definitely book again!
Leila is wonderful! She always tends to any needs I request for Leo and always sends photos and updates. Highly recommend!!!
Courtney was AMAZING with our furbabies! We loved Courtney's humorous updates and photos from each drop-in visit. Courtney did exactly what we asked and more. She cared for our pets as if they were her own. She understood their needs and personalities, and we were very happy with how fast they warmed up to her. We will definitely be using Courtney again! Thank you so much!
Incredible work. Watched our two groups of chickens - babies inside, adults outside, and couldn't have done a better job. Helped with a few last minute other things around the house (checked basement for flooding, brought in packages). Highly responsible, always on time, sent check-in notifications when arriving and leaving, went above and beyond with baby chickens. Will hire again, highly recommend.
