Priyanka was amazing with my dog. She followed all the instructions I left her, asked to do a meet and greet, and asked questions about my dog too. I got updates and pictures. I would book her again!!

Bree was amazing with Ludo and Bowie! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures while we were away for a long weekend. Left the house spotless and even ran the laundry. The pups obviously enjoyed their time and perked up when I mentioned Bree's name. Thank you! Will absolutely book again.

Jay is the best. My Thunder who is a 75lb American Pitbull loves him and for anyone with this breed that once they trust you there is no such thing as personal space. This breed gets a bad reputation but they are cuddle buddies. Book him now and often you will not regret it!

Alison was lovely. We requested her last minute but she somehow made it work to take care of our little baby rocky. She was on time, super sweet and very interested in learning about rocky. She send us pictures and told us updates of our baby almost every half an hour which was so sweet. Would definitely recommend booking with her :)

About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care I give to every pet—whether it’s teaching a curious puppy the basics, keeping a senior pet comfortable and happy, or making sure shy animals feel safe and loved. With me, your pet gets more than just supervision—they get patience, attention, and a whole lot of tail wags. Even with a full-time job, pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I plan my mornings and evenings around feeding, walks, and playtime, and I dedicate my weekends to extra bonding activities, training, and outdoor adventures. I keep a reliable schedule so pets always know what to expect, and I make sure they get consistent love and attention no matter how busy the day gets. I provide safe, loving, and consistent care—whether in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s routine, ensure fresh water, timely meals, exercise, and plenty of affection so they feel happy and secure.

Molly and her husband were great, they took care of our two dogs while we were away for a few days and made sure they were pampered and stayed healthy. They also left our place clean and went the extra mile to get our puppy some extra food when he ran out of it. Highly recommend!

Kate truly went above and beyond! I had some last-minute changes in the middle of my booking, but she kindly stood by me and helped sort everything out, demonstrating her big love for animals. I really like her and will definitely call her again whenever I need someone, and she's always willing to take care of my babies. They had a wonderful time, and even to this day, they still look for her.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my friends and family and love to play, walk, feed or just hang out with them! I used to dog walk every week at a shelter growing up and had fun taking dogs of all size! I am currently in-between jobs so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I can be a sitter in your house if you need someone to feed and play with them or I can take them out on walks. My cat back home is super needy and always needs pets so I’m used to giving lots of love. I always attend to her needs and will do the same with your pets!

About: For the past ten years, I’ve been the trusted go‑to pet caregiver for friends and colleagues; whether they’re heading out for a weekend getaway or simply stuck at work longer than expected. I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your fur-baby, which is why I treat every pet I take care of as if they were my own. I have done everything from daily dog walks and feeding routines to scooping litter, administering medication, and giving plenty of love and attention. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Supporting happy, healthy pets brings me so much joy, and I’m committed to giving your furry family member the same level of care you would! I am currently in the process of switching full-time jobs, so my availability is open to daily walks and pet-sitting seven days a week! I will make sure to let you know if my availability changes. I live in an apartment, so all pet care takes place in my client’s home. I know how important trust is, and I treat every pet like my own—following your routines, keeping their space safe and tidy, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.

We have had many pet sitters over the years, and Nima stands out as one of the best. She is very friendly, considerate, and kind, both with us and with our puppy, Olivia. Nima sent us daily photos and videos with a quick update on how everything was going. Olivia is a very picky eater, but somehow Nima got her to eat every meal! Nima left our house clean and tidy. She was on time and communicative about arrival & departure and about when she needed to leave the house while caring for Olivia. I highly recommend her for pop-in visits with your pet or overnight stays.

Holy moly! I can’t brag about Safiya enough! From start to finish the communication was nothing short of incredible. She cared for my baby like he was her own. She cared for my home like she lived here. I feel like a found a member of the family not a sitter. Hands down, the best caretaker for anyone you love. Will ONLY be booking with her again in the future. 100000000000000000000 out of 10. Literally the greatest experience.

Darrin was great taking care of my two boys at my home for a weekend trip I had planned. He provided frequent updates and pictures and was even able to accommodate beyond the originally scheduled trip if needed due to weather travel disruptions. 10/10 would recommend and would happily use him again if ever needed! Thanks again from me and the boys!
