“Maria did a wonderful job caring for my cat while I was away! She is such a kind and calming presence, which I know put my cat at ease without me there. Updates were frequent and very detailed, giving me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend booking with Maria and I for sure will be again!”


“It is so reassuring leaving my cat with Aimee to sit!! She is very caring and I know he is in excellent hands. Thanks for everything, Aimee!!”


“Monica is an outstanding cat sitter! She goes above and beyond to care for my senior cats, ensuring they're not only well-fed but have clean drinking water in their fountain. One of my cats craves physical attention, and Monica took the time to hold and carry her, making her so happy she purred! She also made sure to find my shy cat, which really put me at ease. Monica sends detailed updates with amazing photos at each visit, giving me priceless peace of mind. Her dedication, care, and love for my girls are truly exceptional. I highly recommend Monica!”


“Brittany was amazing with my nearly three month old puppy, Ruby! She kept Ruby busy with a walk and playing with all of Ruby’s toys, and by the end of the visit, Ruby was all tired out (which was the goal)! I can’t thank Brittany enough and will certainly be using her again!”


“Mya was a great sitter for my two cats! It was clear even from the meet & greet that she likes cats, and mine loved her right back! One of them is on a special diet and Mya followed all my food instructions perfectly. She was also able to get my other pickier cat to eat wet food which can sometimes be a struggle. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again. Thanks, Mya!”


“Maryam was wonderful. She absolutely put our minds at ease, checking in daily while we were away. She was very communicative before and during our trip and we knew our cat was in good hands. We'll definitely use her again!”


“Simone did a great job with my dog Lily and my two kittens!! She took lots of photos and videos, my pets looked very happy! She also had some great notes and I will definitely be reaching out to her again for care!”



“Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!”


“Taylor was the best pet sitter! She obviously loves animals and made sure she knew what would make the kitties most comfortable and happy. Her communication was great and she was careful to follow all the requests we made for taking care of our pets.”


“Daniel did great with our shy and cautious dog. He warmed up to him surprisingly quick, which we took as a great sign. Daniel left the home clean and did everything as instructed. His daily drop-in notes were informative and thorough. We would definitely book him again in the future.”


“Lexy and Robert were super awesome caring for my sweet baby Nova. They were very responsive and always made me feel like she was in good hands. My go-to in Clarendon!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around 8 years old by playing with and walking neighbor’s and family friends dogs. Since, I have gotten a dog of my own (Bandit) and care for him everyday. We got him as a puppy, so I trained him to sit, give me a paw, and a high five! I take him on walks, feeding him, and play with him. I am currently on summer vacation from the transition between senior year and freshman year of college, so I will be free pretty much all day any day to take care of your puppies! I have a fenced backyard and a friendly, outgoing dog to keep your pup company. I have all the supplies needed to care for a dog - crate (if needed), treats, food/water bowls, etc.

About: Coming soon my 3 furry Colombians 🐕🦺❤️🐾... Meanwhile, your faithful friend is in my hands! I am a dog lover with a heart divided between two countries: while I hope I can bring my three furry children from Colombia (a Pitbull full of energy and two loving Cockers), I want to take care of yours as if it were mine. - 🐾 **I know what 'misunderstood' races need**: Pitbulls deserve respect and patience, not stereotypes. The Cockers, attention and delicacy. - 🦴 **I adapt the care to his character**: Not all dogs are the same, and I learned that with mine! - ❤️ **I miss my dogs, but that makes me give more love to yours**." * When I take care of your dog, I don't just follow instructions: ✅ **Real experience** with strong and sensitive breeds. ✅ **Safe rides** for Pitbulls (or soft games for elderly Cockers). ✅ **Updated in signs of canine stress** (the Cockers are masters in that!). ✅ **Flexible and communicative**: I will send you photos and updates, because I know what it's like to be away from your pet." * Is your furry shy, hyperactive or a little study? I understand your language perfectly! For now, my three dogs are far away, but that only means that I will have more space in my heart (and in my agenda) to pampers yours I adapt my routine to give your pet the rhythm it needs: intense walks for the strong like my Pitbull, naps and pampering for the delicate like my Cockers, and always with updates that show you their day as if you were here!" ** My day is moulded to your dog: controlled energy for strong, patience for sensitive, and photos that steal a smile from you." * I offer personalised and 100% safe care in MY HOME, where your pet will receive:** 🏡 **An adapted space**: Separate areas for active dogs (like my Pitbull) and quiet areas for the most sensitive (like my Cockers). 🐕 **Experience with 'difficult' breeds**: I know how to manage strong energy and anxiety with patience and proven techniques. - 📲 **Total transparency**: I send photos, videos and daily reports so you can see how happy your furry is. - ❤️ **Seasonal love**: While I wait for my 3 dogs (who are in Colombia), your pet will be my absolute priority." **Why in my house? ** "I prefer to care in a controlled environment, where everything is prepared for safety and comfort, no surprises!" _.

About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.

“Michaela did a week of drop ins with our pup, Bastille! She was very communicative, leaving us funny updates after every walk and many photos and videos! Michaela was always on time and our dog clearly loved her. We ran into Michaela at the park after she started doing our mid day walks and Bastille ran right for her! We will definitely be reaching out to Michaela again!”



About: I have been caring for dogs for friends and neighbors for many years and have decided to branch out and find some more dogs to watch! I love every single dog that visits me, and they love me. Dog owners tell me it is the best possible home away from home and they feel so comfortable that their dog is in such good hands. Dogs are so happy with me, and I love having them around and sharing pics with you if you like when the dog is here. Lots of love, cuddles on the sofa, and plenty of walks around the neighborhood is what will happen here. I can only care for hypo-allergenic breeds or small short-haired dogs as my family has some allergies.

“My first experience of rover, Kelly was super kind, caring, and comforting to my 2 kitties. they are both pretty shy and timid for newcomers and she made both of them feel safe. definitely will want to visit with Kelly again!”
