“Alyson is THE BEST. She has watched my 13 year old cat multiple times and has always been great. My cat is high maintenance and needs a lot of medications, and Alyson takes such great care of her. My cat loves her a lot and Alyson loves her right back, it’s so sweet. I’m so thankful for Alyson and her ability to take care of older kitties :)”
About: I've always loved dogs and now I have a family that loves dogs! I care for friends' dogs and we have a 3-year-old Australian Labradoodle (before that, I had a dog for 17 years). I have a good yard and am close to parks. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can take several walks a day and live in a great neighborhood for walking dogs. I treat dogs like they are part of my family. They are welcome on our couches and are free to roam in my back yard. At night they will sleep in a bedroom and they'll never be alone.
“Julia was amazing. This is the first time we had her take care of Duke and she was absolutely a pro at handling Duke. She was communicative, responsible, and most importantly very loving towards Duke and his needs. She kept us in the loop, remembered the little things aside his overall routine, asked for extra information to make sure she could take care of Duke the best way possible. She was extremely respectful of the space and we felt very very comfortable leaving our fur baby in her charge for the two days that we were gone. Her updates on the app were always detailed, her notes were personalized, and always heartwarming, she never missed any detail and made sure Duke didn’t miss us. From the photos it looked like Duke barely noticed that we were gone and had a great time with Julia. Given that Duke is an 80 lbs dog she was amazing at handling and walking Duke given that Duke can at times be a puller but she managed to create a bond with him quickly and settle him into a pace where he got better eventually in the walks. We will try and have her take care of Duke EVERY TIME ( if possible ) when we are not around and if Julia is willing and available. Thank you from the Mitras ❤️”
“Sue is wonderful! We completely trust her with our pup and the keys to our home. She has watched Riley a few times and always sends lots of photos and he is always so happy to see her. Thank you Sue!!”
“Rilee is great with our dog Samson. I could tell when meeting her she had a lot of experience and a great attitude. She's awesome at communicating and sending pictures, and we can tell Samson always has a great time with her.”
About: I've helped care for my previous roommate's 60 lb dog for 6 years while living together. This included letting him outside, taking him on walks, feeding him, and giving him medication when needed. I've also watched and cared for several other friends' dogs and cats while they were away. I'm currently working part-time and will have most of the summer off, so my schedule is relatively flexible at the moment. Happy to chat more about it! I will respect and oblige by any rules or boundaries set forth for your pets and within your home. Happy to accommodate and meet you where you're at!
“I had a great experience with Kathleen! She took wonderful care of my two kittens while I was away—both were happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after. Communication was excellent throughout, and I really appreciated the updates and reliability!”
“Carol is a wonderful cat sitter! She visited my kitty twice daily, took care of all the essentials (food, water, litter box and she brushed, played and petted him. She sent daily photos and an update on his mood. I am very happy with the care she provided. I highly recommend her services! FIVE STARS”
“Ani was in great communication before the booking and made sure she had all the info to take care of my cat. My cat can be pretty skittish and came right out to be pet, and she’s the most important judge! I’ll definitely use Ani next time I go away!”

“Anna was the first person to check on our cats that wasn’t a family member or friend, and she surpassed all of our expectations! Each day during our weeklong trip, we looked forward to the detailed notes and various pictures of our boys whom we missed so much! Anna was reliable and responsive, and she cared for our cats as if they were her own ♥️”
About: I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. You can trust me to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while with me. 😊 I work as a part time nanny, and I have plenty of time during the day to play/ walk/ care for your pet. Monday- Sunday. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I take time to get to know their unique personalities, routines, and needs — whether that means going on long walks, sticking to feeding schedules, or just offering extra cuddles and attention. I believe in gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and always treating animals with kindness and respect.
“Ethan was very communicative, professional, and great with my dogs. He really helped me out with a last minute drop in visit when a work event popped up. I will definitely use him again!”
“Although we’ve only had one visit so far, I can already tell Winston loves playing with Natalie! He was sleeping hard the moment after she left. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9, and probably even younger! I grew up with a Black Lab who was the sweetest boy. I took care of him throughout his life - bringing him on walks multiple times a day, feeding him, cleaning up after him, and always playing and spending time with him. I have also taken care of my friends’ dogs whenever they were away and needed someone to check in! I am currently on summer break from college and have plenty of time in my schedule to take care of and play with your dogs!! Availability can change and I will be away some days but for the most part I just need a day or two of a heads up! I spent 14 years living with my dog and understand what it takes to create a safe and clean space for dogs! I am very attentive and I’ll be able to keep your dog safe.
“Sarika was super awesome with our pup! She gave constant updates and pictures for every visit which left the stress of leaving your pet so much more comfortable in her care. Her previous dog training was apparent and super helpful with our high energy dog. We would definitely use Sarika again!”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, I bring a calm, confident presence that animals naturally trust. Whether it’s helping a new puppy learn routines or supporting a senior dog with gentle, attentive care, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m not just here to “watch” your pet—I engage with them. I bring playful energy when they need it, and peaceful reassurance when they need to feel safe and settled. I’m comfortable administering medications, working with shy or anxious pets, and reinforcing basic training commands with consistency and patience. Every pet is part of the family in my care, and I’m here to make sure they feel loved, understood, and completely at ease while you’re away. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily life. While I currently work part-time, I’m available every day for dog sitting, walking, and drop-in visits. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, attentive care—whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. Because I’m not rushing between jobs, I can fully focus on your pet’s routine and well-being. From quick check-ins to longer visits, I make sure each pet feels safe, seen, and loved—just like they would with you. In your home, I aim to maintain your pet’s familiar routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding, walking, and play schedules closely, and give plenty of calm, loving attention. I’m respectful of your home and keep things tidy, treating your space with the same care I give your pet. Whether it’s solo snuggles, medication routines, or just being a steady, calm presence while you’re away, I adjust to what your pet needs most.

We had an amazing experience with Julia cat sitting over a long weekend. We had just moved to the area and were looking for a new sitter and were so lucky to find Julia—she provided super prompt and detailed reports on her visits with lots of pictures and even brought our packages up a few flights of stairs. 100% recommend!
Taylor was incredibly kind and thoughtful when it came to our two cats, one of which is a little grumpy. She checked in multiple times just to give updates on visits and of course sent great photos and descriptions of the visits. She made sure the grumpy cat felt comfortable without pushing boundaries which is so important to us.
Victoria did a wonderful job of caring for my two cats today. In addition to freshening the litterboxes she went above and beyond by tidying the entire room where the litterboxes are. No more layer of litter dust on the side table! She also shared many photos of the pets. I look forward to having Victoria back next month!
Daria has been great! In a hybrid work role, it’s so nice to have someone I can rely on every week to take carry of Benny on the days I go into the office. Benny has been enjoying their walks and play time together. Daria has been easy to communicate and organize things with and always sends pictures of their time together l, which is so reassuring as a doggie momma. I have been very happy!!
Victoria was so amazing in caring for my cat. My cat is incredibly shy and I was shocked to receive pictures of my cat loving the attention from her when I only expected her to feed her. She even helped find a brush that my cat would tolerate. I would highly recommend her to any pet owner.
Cressida was terrific and I highly recommend her! My three cats loved her and well cared for by her over the course of five days while we were away. She was responsive, communicative, shared photos of the kitties every day, and follow all of the instructions that I had shared with her during an in person introduction ahead of our vacation. We will definitely hire her again for help when we are out of town!
Ethan is an extremely reliable sitter! He took care of our elder dog with respect and gentleness. Ethan is also extremely flexible, accommodating last minute requests to changes in the schedule. We will miss him now that he is moving away from us! Thank you Ethan!
