“Xuni was fantastic with my cat Ela while I was away for a week. She would send me pictures and videos from every visit, as well as leave useful feedback on how Ela was doing.”
“Jessica was great - she looked after my Alaskan Malamute, and ensured he was safe when we were away. She provided pictures, so I felt at ease. I would definitely contact Jessica again when we next go away. THANKS, Jessica”
“Chelsea is phenomenal! She was so great with our high energy pup and was super attentive to her needs, asked all the necessary questions during our initial meet and greet. I loved that our pets seemed to feel at ease with her. The visit photos were a treat. Thank you so much for your time and care, Chelsea!”
“Briana is super responsive and was able to fit us in for coverage during a short business trip. She took great care of our dog and cats, including one who is diabetic and needs twice daily insulin shots.”
“Lianne took exceptional care of my two cats while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and well looked after. Her detailed report cards and frequent photo updates gave us so much peace of mind. Each message was thoughtful and showed just how attentive she is. I can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
About: My journey in pet care began in 2016 when I brought home a golden doodle who quickly became part of the family. Over time, I developed a deep understanding of how pets, whether dogs, cats, or other companions, bring comfort, joy, and emotional support to the people who love them. I ultimately chose to have her stay with my ex-husband so she could be a consistent source of support for our daughter during her time with him. Since then, I’ve cared for a variety of animals, each with their own unique personalities and needs. I’m calm, attentive, and patient, and I always take the time to make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable in my care, whether I’m walking them, feeding them, playing with them, or simply keeping them company. I work from home three days a week, so I’m around during the day to give your pets attention, playtime, and care. I’m also fully available on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. My flexible schedule allows me to tailor care to your pet’s needs, whether that means midday cuddles, structured walks, or keeping your pet company while you’re away. I take a calm, caring approach to every pet I look after, whether I’m visiting your home or caring for them in mine. I live in a townhouse with plenty of walking paths nearby, making it easy to give dogs the exercise they need. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique temperament and routine, and I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and creating a stress-free environment wherever I provide care.
“Nicole did great checking on our dog while we were out of town. She kept me posted on when she would be there, gave me a detailed report of the visit, and sent lots of pictures. We have already booked her for our next trip out of town!”
About: I've owned several dogs throughout my life since childhood and have experience with dogs that get nervous around new people or dogs that are nervous when home alone! I work throughout odd hours, but given enough time as notice I can make time for your furry companions! I cannot be available Thursdays, however I am available on other days! I have experience with crates, fences, as well as leashes to make sure your companion stays safe when outside! Since I have family members with allergens at my home, I will be unable to care for your pets in my home, however I will make sure to take utmost care with your beloved friends wherever I may be!
About: When I was young I grew up with animals. Since then, I have spent a lot of time with my friends and neighbors dogs. For example, I walk my neighbor’s dog everyday (for no fee) as they are an older couple and Chloe waits for me every morning. They joke that she’s my dog. I have pet sat for my friends during their vacations, pregnancies, and chemo appointments. These dogs have a special trust with me so their owners always feel comfortable when they’re away. I usually send pictures etc to update how they’re doing. One special picture was of the dog lying on the baby blanket that the parents had sent from the hospital. The mother said she burst into tears of gratitude. I have a job where I’m actively at work only 3 days a week. I spend my off days outdoors hiking usually which makes dog sitting / walking perfect. When I stay in the clients home, I try to keep to the schedule that is already known to the animal. At my own home, I do have a fenced in area. There are neighborhood dogs that can come and play if the dog is sociable.
About: Hi there! I’m a second-year veterinary student who loves animals. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant in a small animal clinic for the past two years, gaining hands-on experience with dogs and cats. I would love the chance to hang out with your furry friend! I am both BLS CPR and Fear Free certified and have experience administering oral, IM and IV medication to dogs and cats. During the weekdays, I am available during lunch (12-1), and after 5pm every day. My weekend availability is on a case-by-case basis so reach out! I am committed to creating a calm, safe environment for your pet. My family currently has a 3-year-old doodle and an almost 14-year-old Keeshond, so I’m familiar with both high-energy pups and senior pets.
About: As a life long animal lover and owner I can offer great care for your pets. I have owned both dogs and cats as well as cared for both for friends and family vacationing or just out on a busy Saturday. These pets have ranged from young, energetic, or friendly to the older, quieter, or more finicky. Whether I am walking your pet, or an at home stay, I will be sure to play and stimulate them to the level they need so they can be as happy and comfortable as possible while you are apart. For dogs with more energy I am able to longer walks, go to local hiking trails, or even a moderately paced and distanced run. If your pet needs slower and shorter paced, that is fine too! I will let them decide. If you are interested but you or the pet are a bit hesitant feel free to reach out to meet before, or to go over any specific care details! I’m available for stop in visits for feeding, walking and general care. I have time on weekends as well as weekday mornings and evenings, we can work out a schedule that works best for you. I have 2 resident cats whom I do not want to disturb, so I will come to you and care for your pet in your space. I will clean up after the animals and help keep them happy in calm in a space they already feel space in.
“Maya did a wonderful job taking care of my Lily. She sent lots of pictures and her updates were very informative. She also gave her meds, which Lily did not make easy, but she got it done. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Lily was well taken care of. I cannot give her enough stars!! I would book her again!!”
“Erika visited our cat Mimi every other day while we were away on vacation. She did exactly what we asked, including feeding, scooping the litterbox, & a little play time. She left a nice note for us to read upon return. It was obvious when we got back that Mimi had be well treated! We highly recommend Erika!”
“Mariann did a great job communicating with us and being flexible about scheduling. She gave my elderly cat her pill twice daily and kept us in the loop. I felt very comfortable leaving Missy in her capable hands!”
About: I’ve cared for every kind of animal from cats and dogs to fish and horses. I absolutely adore animals! Since 2020 I have sustained a back injury that limits my mobility, however while I can’t run, I can walk confidently and love to walk with dogs especially. By lending me your furry friends to play with, you’re also helping me stay mobile. So pet care is more than just a gig to me, it is a blessing that allows me to pet all the cats and dogs, while keeping me healthy. For overnights and house sitting, I will simply request you allow my wife to be with me. We’re a package deal, 2 sitters for the price of one! We are a clean and responsible duo, you’ll surely love us! Thank you for considering me for your sitting needs! I promise to love your friends like they’re my own, keep them safe, entertained and well fed. My schedule is entirely open until I return to college in September, and even then I may be able to continue pet care. I will update my availability as it changes, so you’ll always know when I’m available. I will be caring for any pets at your home, I find this to be most ideal as the pets are in a familiar location so it will be less stressful for them overall. I also have 3 very timid cats at home who don’t get along well with new animals. For over night service such as house sitting, my wife will be with me. Don’t worry, we are a very clean and responsible duo. Clear communication is important, so that we both understand what is expected and needed.
About: I have had one small dog, Fiona, for 16 yrs, and had a horse for 30 years, as my sister in LA said, when you adopt a pet, it's as if they have hit the lottery, what a nice thing to say, I love pets and love exercise so Rover would be the best way to go. My dog is senior at 16 so I am used to seniors, medicating, etc....and cats, have had lots of rescue cats, Sally is my present sweet girl at 8 yrs old. I was laid off in June and I would look forward to caring for your cat or dog with long walks or a hike in the park. On Friday, I had to lay to rest one of my dogs, Ricky, due to heart failure, so my Fiona would love a friend to hike with! She is lonely and we all feel his loss. I walk them in my neighborhood, or if cool enough we go to the nearby park, very fun! They always get lots of pets and treats as allowed, I do prefer small dogs, probably as big as a Boston Terrier would be ideal, and friendly is important!
“We were in a pinch when our senior dog was sick and unable to use her usual kennel during our trip. Melissa was wonderful and able to help by coming three times a day and giving her walks and everything she needed and more. She was kind, professional, and communicative and sent me pictures during every visit. Thanks so much Melissa!”

He is also very good about little details like not petting her in spots where she is arthritic.”
Kimberly P.

She is a loving, caring pet owner and will certainly treat your pets as if they were hers. You can rest easy, knowing that your pets are in excellent hands. I have no problem at all in recommending Kimberly wholeheartedly for this job! She has owned so many different animals through the years and each of them has gotten the best of care.”
