“Dimitrios was fantastic! We needed someone to house visit our dog a few days when our usual Rover sitter was unavailable. He came with only a few days notice to meet her and got along with her great. Highly recommend using him.”

About: We're Abby and Robbie! Thanks for viewing our profile. Robbie works from home 100% of the time. I am a teacher so I'll be ready to assist on weekends, in evenings and federal holidays or school breaks whe. You just want to get away! We adopted our sweet pitbulL, Goose in 2025. I've raised two dogs since puppyhood growing up and robbie has raised dogs of all types of breeds and sizes. He used to work in a kennel and hopes to work with animals in some capacity upon completion of school! Goose is about 2 and LOVES dogs. He really is the sweetest guy and we're willing to work out a meet and greet for you and the dogs! Your and your dogs' comfort level is our top priority! Get ready for plenty of "pupdate" texts with photos and videos! Your dog(s) will have a great time and gain 3 new friends! We usually wake up and take out Goose around 6am. We play and feed with him. Abby heads out for work at 7:15am and Robbie works from home and starts work at 9am.Robbie walks goose frequently during the day, since he has a bladder condition and needs slightly more frequent bathroom breaks. Robbie walks Goose at 6, 10:30, and 2:30 during his day. Abby gets home around 4 to help assist with dogs! We have safe doors with smartlocks, a baby gate to keep your pet away from where we love to cook so that they won't ingest anything they shouldn't, and a sweet dog, Goose, who loves to make friends on his One Pittie Welcome Committee!

“Flower was the perfect friend for our cat while we were gone. Our cat can be anxious and timid but Flower really made him feel comfortable and safe. I really appreciated the sweet videos of them cuddling and playing together while we were gone to ease my own anxiety. I am really impressed with the really thoughtful care and would definitely recommend for any other anxious pet parents.”

About: I grew up with a lot of pets and have done pet sitting and dog walking for the last 4 years. I have several regular families that I pet sit for and do regular dog walking. I am currently doing online classes to finish my college degree. I have a lot of free time to myself and can travel anywhere in the city to take care of your dogs. I take particular care to follow instructions for your dog, making sure to walk them and feed them at the right time. I also make sure your home is clean and well kept after I leave.

About: Hi! I have a flexible schedule and love being able to structure my days around care work. As a social worker, I’m reliable, attentive, and calm in all kinds of situations. If my calendar doesn’t line up, message me anyway – I’m usually happy to try to make it work. I’m a lifelong caretaker (former teacher, child care provider, babysitter, and current servant to four cats). I grew up with dogs and have experience with everyone from wildly energetic puppies to senior pups who need a slower pace and extra patience. I’m very comfortable with pet quirks. Food warmed for exactly two seconds? Specific petting rules? Emotional support hair tie? I get it. As a cat mom, nothing surprises me. Whether your pet wants long walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they’re safe, loved, and very well looked after. I have the most availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I also have some AM and PM availability so it’s easy for me to fit pet care into my day. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they get the right amount of food, playtime, walks, and attention based on their needs and personality. I also like to check in with photo or text updates so you know how they’re doing.

“Hannah has been an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. They are always quick to respond when I reach out about a job, consistently show up when they say they will, and go above and beyond every time. Hannah is an incredibly strong communicator, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s clear they genuinely care about both the pets and the people they work with. I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy to care for their animals.”

“Once again, Katilan did a truly thoughtful job and demonstrated that she’s a pet-sitter who genuinely cares. While I was gone, one of my cats, Lissette, got very sick. Kaitlan was on top of Lissette’s symptoms and stepped up in myriad ways, picking up a TON of slack in my absence. She took Lissette to the vet, took on a variety of new medications and learned how to administer them, and came up with creative ways for Lissette to both get her meds and get food into her when she wasn’t eating, communicating with me through it all. She also spent extra time with both cats to make sure they got what they needed during this unusual change of circumstances. And through it all, Kaitlan was flexible, as available as possible, and highly compassionate toward both Lissette and me (which was deeply appreciated). She was also very flexible about giving me extra time to complete the financial transaction after returning home as I dealt with a severely sick cat and the decisions related to that. I’m probably forgetting things or leaving things out because so much happened during that time period, but suffice it to say Kaitlan stepped up enormously, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have had her help and support during that highly stressful time. She even swept, took out the trash so the uneaten cat food wouldn’t go bad in the heat, and vacuumed so it would be one less thing for me to worry about when I got home! Talk about a rock-star pet-sitter. Kaitlan’s service was the definition of “above and beyond.””

About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 13, and watching dogs since I was 10! I love all animals, of all sizes and temperaments! I’m currently working about 20 hours a week, so I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings, as well as Sunday/Monday completely free! My roommates currently foster cats with chronic illnesses, that are kept in their room and away from any possible visitors! We have plenty of space, and lots of access to good walking routes.

About: Since I was young, I have always taken responsibility for caring for animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. My experience includes feeding, grooming, exercising, pet sitting, providing companionship, and comforting animals while their owners are away. I have experience caring for puppies and young dogs, including keeping them active, providing appropriate attention, and redirecting unwanted behaviors with patience and consistency. I understand that every animal has a different personality and needs, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and boundaries. I also have experience caring for senior pets and understand that they often require extra patience, attention, and assistance. I have administered medication when needed and am comfortable helping older or less-mobile pets get around, including carrying them when necessary. Above all, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them as if they were my own. I want owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, loved, and receiving the attention they deserve while they are away. I am dependable, attentive, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're gone. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets rather than trying to fit them into a busy work schedule. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, sitting, feeding, exercise, and overnight care depending on the pet's needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and am comfortable building my day around their routines. I am reliable about maintaining feeding, medication, exercise, and bedtime schedules, and I make sure pets receive consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. My flexible schedule also allows me to provide extra time and care for puppies, senior pets, or animals that need more frequent attention. I care for each pet according to their individual routine, personality, and needs. In a client's home, I follow their established feeding, walking, medication, exercise, and bedtime routines as closely as possible so their pets feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship, while also respecting their need for rest and personal space. For senior pets or pets with special needs, I provide extra patience and assistance with mobility, medications, and other care instructions. With puppies and younger dogs, I provide structured activity, supervision, and positive redirection when needed. I also keep the home clean and safe, make sure pets have fresh food and water, and pay close attention to any changes in their behavior or health. I am happy to send regular updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing and can feel confident that they are being well cared for.

Flower took such wonderful care of my cat and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. The thoughtful updates and adorable videos were such a special touch—it was great to see how happy, comfortable, and well cared for she was. It was clear that they genuinely care about animals and go above and beyond to make sure they feel loved and safe. Communication was excellent! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter and will definitely book with them again!
