“Jeffrey is so dependable even when the week gets away from me and I need a last minute sitter he has options to offer. Winston loves his walks and jumps up to see Jeffrey when he comes over. He's always prepared for the day and even does the dishes and takes out the trash. I feel like his work ethic is from a generation we don't see much of anymore. Don't hesitate to trust your pet's and home with him.”
“Pamela is excellent! She is very professional and friendly and our two dogs loved hanging out with her. Definitely will book again if she is available!”
“Valeria has been-by far-the best dog sitter for my boy Charlie. She was very communicative and thoughtful. She also immediately bonded with Charlie and knew how to take such good care of him. She gave multiple updates throughout the day and sent me the best photos and videos. Thank you so much Valeria, you are a gem!!”
“Lia was so communicative and would send lots of updates/pictures of Nina throughout the entire visit. I felt very comfortable leaving Nina with her and will definitely use her again.”
About: For nearly my entire life I have taken care of my two dogs, Eddie and Shorty. Between raising them as puppies and taking care of Shorty in his later years, I have had the pleasure in taking care of my dogs. Over the years I have helped sit and take care of guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and many other pets! No matter the animal, I treat them with love just as if they were my own. I can walk or watch your pets any weekday! As for overnight sitting, the same applies. I work part time in politics so I should almost always be able to fill your requests. I can provide care to your pets in your home when needed! If given with instructions on how to take care of your pets, I can accommodate to all of you and your pets needs.
“Donna did a great job for us while we were out of town. She provided great care for our dog and house while sitting for us. Our dog immediately warmed up to Donna and accepted her as part of her pack. Donna conducted timely walks with our dog and provided daily feedback on what was happening.”
“I strongly recommend Kathryn as a sitter. Clearly loves digs, took them to Cat Rock daily and they seemed so happy to be around her”
“Tori is the best. I had a feeling from seeing her photo that she was going to be a great match for taking care of our dog Kate and I was right. She is kind, attentive, warm and everything you'd want in a dog and house-sitter. We were nervous because we'd not left her with a dog-sitter before but really didn't want to do the kennel after our last experience. It was so great to get photos of Kate and hear updates of their walks and to be able to ask someone how she was doing while we were overseas. I highly recommend Tori :)”
“Kelcee was fantastic! She took amazing care of Asya and sent the best pictures and kept me updated on how things were going. She made being away from my fur baby more calming for her momma!”
“Jainah was great with my pup! She was responsive and totally on top of his care, including meds. It was great getting updates while I was out of town and she made sure to keep me informed when she was heading out. Would definitely recommend and use Jainah in the futute!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life and have been taking care of my friends and families dogs the past 5 years. I have taken care of dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I am a full time social worker with a hybrid role which means I’m home a lot during the week even when I’m working. I always have weekends off and am available to take care of pets pretty much every weekend. I offer at home services and can easily stop by multiple times a day to provide food, walks, and all the pets necessary to make sure your pet is happy while you are away. Also open to house sit if 24/7 care is needed.
“Shannen was wonderful with Teddy! He was comfortable as soon as he met her. We were updated frequently and came home to a happy pup!”
“Alyssa was absolutely fantastic with our puppy and our two cats. This was the first time leaving our five month old puppy, so I had a lot of nerves around leaving her. Alyssa was very reassuring and communicated with me several times throughout the day, sending lots of pictures and giving me updates on how everyone was doing. I felt very confident that my girls were all in good hands! I feel very lucky that we found Alyssa and would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a great pet sitter!”
“Cynthia was great with Cider and we would gladly have her again! She's definitely experienced with dogs and handled Cider's puppy energy so well. Cider slept like a baby after all her play time.”
“Abigail was great with our dogs. They were comfortable with her immediately.”
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.
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.
“Ani was phenomenal, checked in with us regularly and sent us pictures! Our house was immaculate when we got back and our senior dogs were so happy! We would definitely recommend Ani any time!”

Layal is a wonderful pet sitter. She's watched our two dogs on multiple occasions over several days/nights and is great with both of them despite their differences (one big and somewhat anxious, one small and full of puppy energy). She keeps them both happy and provides frequent updates and photos. We will absolutely reach out to her for future needs!
Nicole was wonderful with our medically complex senior pup! We were away for 3 nights and she was very communicative with us and attentive to our dog's health, even when some concerns arose late at night. Very grateful to Nicole and highly recommend!
Sarah was wonderful with our three little pups! We have a range of one really hyper dog and an older anxious dog and she was so good with all of them. Would 10/10 recommend her services
Ani was phenomenal, checked in with us regularly and sent us pictures! Our house was immaculate when we got back and our senior dogs were so happy! We would definitely recommend Ani any time!
It was great having Cynthia care for Oliver yesterday. She arrived promptly and kept me updated with texts and photos which put me at ease since he suffers from separation anxiety. Throughout the day, my sweet boy enjoyed nice belly rubs and lots of cuddling. :) I was so happy Oliver enjoyed their time together! Cynthia is extremely kind, and I'll definitely contact her again when the need arises. Thanks again Cynthia!
Taa is an excellent sitter - I have a puppy who because he's young needs a little extra TLC and guidance, since he is working on his manners. But she was great with him and accommodating. She was also on time and communicative, both of which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend and hire again!
