“Briana watched our sweet, shy cat Bob for a week while we were out. We couldn't have asked for a better caregiver and houseguest! Briana sent us regular updates with adorable photos, details about Bob's meals, administered his every-other-day oral medication, and generally helped us rest assured that he was in great hands. I continue to highly recommend Briana to cat parents out there, especially ones with anxious kitties who can be shy.”
“Tara is amazing. She’s dropped in twice now with my dog. We had all sorts of issues with the garage door opener and she figured it out so that I didn’t have to rush home to let her in. (Totally my issue). She is also great with the dog. Nice long walks and lots of pictures”
“Randy is great with our 2 boys, they were well taken care of while we were on vacation overseas. Randy is great with communication and checked in often. We'll definitely be using Randy's services again!”
“Carmen and Alex were AWESOME! They were on time and did a fabulous job communicating throughout the visits with our very sweet (and shy) cat. They did a perfect job with his food and medicine and he was very happy for the company. I will definitely work with them again for our next trip!”
“Samantha did a great job taking care of our cat, Sasha! She was on time for the meet and greet and cat sitting start date. She sent lots of photos of Sasha and updates on her eating and litter habits. Sasha sometimes gets lonely when we leave on vacation and has not eaten in the past but ate and played fine and seemed very comfortable with Samantha. Would definitely recommend Samantha for cat/dog sitting!”
“Kylie was communicative and reliable.”
“As always Molly did a great job with Walter! She was caring and understanding of his little stress responses. If you want someone who is kind and understanding of pets, I HIGHLY recommend her.”
“Dakota made me feel so comfortable and happy while I was away! She took great care of my cat Charlie and sent me so many pictures so I knew he was in great hands!”
“Kristyne was lovely to work with. She loves cats and quickly bonded with our cat. Gave us daily photos and kept us informed. Totally professional and reliable. Thumbs up.”
“Rose did an excellent job checking on my cat. She is responsible, attentive and kind. Thank you Rose!”
“Tessa was amazing with Luna gave us updates every time she came in pictures included. She even bought a cone to replace the broken one she needed. We’ll definitely book her again!”
“Annalise was fantastic, I cannot recommend her enough. She was attentive, in constant communication, and treated my cat like she was her own.”
“Joanne took wonderful care of my cat!”
About: I have experience caring for a wide range of animals—including cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, chickens, and bunnies—and I bring compassion and attentiveness to every pet I look after. As a dedicated student currently applying to veterinary schools, my passion for animals drives everything I do. You can trust that your pet's well-being will always be my top priority. When I am not at the veterinary clinic, I am with the animals I am pet sitting or walking. I give plenty of time for enrichment and to let them feel at home and loved. This involves more than an hour of enrichment plus feeding in the mornings before I head off to the clinic, an hour for exercise in the afternoon, and then I spend my evenings with my four legged friends after work. I don't host animals in my own house, but I am more than happy to stay overnight at your house so your animals are more comfortable in their own environment.
About: I have owned, loved and cared for many dogs, cats, birds, hamsters and rabbits since I was very young. I take pride in my work! I currently work full-time days, but have a little bit of time early mornings before work, and have plenty of time after work and nights, and weekends most of the time. We have fenced in yard with plenty of space for running, playing. My family members and I love pets. I pay special attention to detail.
“Once again Cate was absolutely wonderful! Our cats immediately recognized her and were much more comfortable with us being gone because she was checking in!”
“Ani did a tremendous job--again!--taking care of our two sweet but medically complicated cats. She was awesome about communication throughout and sent us lots of details and photos about how everything went during her visits. She left everything in perfect order as well. We feel very confident leaving our little guys in Ani's care and will definitely reach out to her again very soon!”
About: I am a behavioral scientist work in a hybrid model (go to office once a week) that spend a lot time researching about healthy living for my own furry baby and others🫶 I pay great attention to my dog's nutrient so that I cook fresh/organic for him and take him to hiking and dog parks. I would make beef and chicken jerky, cheese and carrot biscuits as treats. I basically moved from an apartment to a house for the sake of my dog. He was a 7-week puppy weighted 3 lb when I met him and now he’s 9 years old and 22lb, happy and healthy and kissed everyday! Now we moved together to New England since I graduated from my PhD program. Dogs love me but I adore them more!! I welcome house sitting for your furry friend 🙌👍 I’m a behavioral scientist for preventive oncology (in human) and I work a hybrid job, which means my schedule is quite flexible and I’d like to give my own dog potty breaks every 3 hours during the day. These breaks are often well deserved mental relief for myself between meetings as well. Love to cuddle, giving our fur babies a lot of love. Now I live in a one-bedroom apartment so the capacity for boarding is limited, but I’d love to visit your pet at your place and if they like car ride, I could definitely offer walks in the woods upon prior discussion and an extra charge
“Marcia and David did an amazing job taking care of my 3 cats while i was away. Also they provided regular updates with photos and messages, keeping me in the loop. It’s such a relief to know my pets are in good hands.”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—learning their routines, reading their body language, and giving them personalized attention and care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep pet parents updated with photos and notes, so they feel confident and connected while they’re away. Whether it's high-energy walks, special needs, or just lots of cuddle time, I adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs. I’m currently working part time for the summer because I work in an Elementary school! Since I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to spend quality time with each pet, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for throughout the day! I can build my schedule around the needs of your pets, wether it’s morning feedings, midday walks, playtime, or evening check-in’s! I will always make sure your dog is safe, and not in any risk of getting out. I will strictly follow clients rules for the dogs to ensure their safety.

My cat is nervous of people and she was able to give him his medications. I would trust Oriana to come to my apartment again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend. 10/10.”

She is also the very symbol the responsibility and reliability who will never miss a single day taking her dogs out for exercise no matter her own schedule and condition. Yusi's passion drives her attending numbers of dogs activities and communities to share dog caring experiences and also allow her babies to make new friend.
