“Anna was great! She was so calm and comfortable with our anxious and high energy dog. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos throughout the stay. We would definitely have her look after our pup again!”
“Jaspers had a great time with Boning taking care of him on our vacation. She was a responsive and responsible house sitter who kept us updated with news and pictures throughout. Thank you!”
“Amy was fantastic! My dog and cat adopted her right away and enjoyed their mini vacation! She even came home from work in the middle of the day to make sure the two animals were doing fine. And shoveled the side walk when we had some unexpected snow! :) Highly recommend.”
“She provided the best service for our dogs! They loved her, and I felt they were safe and cared for while I was away. She regularly checked in with photos and messages. I would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Margaret was amazing! She watched my dog over the weekend and he immediately took to her. I immediately trusted Margaret - she is dependable, caring and conscientious. She checked in often- sending photos of her visits and updates on how my dog was doing. I would enthusiastically recommend Margaret to anyone and would trust that she will care about your pet as much as you do while you’re gone.”
About: Hello, I wanted to share how much I love dogs. Growing up, I had a dog who was truly my best friend, always by my side and bringing so much happiness into my life. Now, I have another dog who means the world to me. They are not just pets to me; they are family. I hope you can relate to the special bond that comes with having a pet. Do you have any pets? I would love to care for them I can easily fit the pet care duties into my schedule because I am self-employed. This flexibility allows me to accommodate any needs that may arise, ensuring the pets receive the best care possible. I have a semi fence yard and also a friendly dog who will keep company to you furry friend. I will keep a close eye on them to make sure they are safe
“Rida was absolutely wonderful! She was so patient, kind, and caring with Kitty, and I could tell she truly loves animals. She took great care of him and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“What an amazing sitter! Took great care of my cat for multiple weeks, and put up with all of her behavioral quirks and sent me tons of photos and updates as well. I felt completely at ease and would absolutely book again. Thank you!”
“Jeff did a great job with our cat Gretzky. Gretzky is a 20 year old who has some special care needs and Jeff was able to give the cat medicine, feed him his special diet etc. We will definitely hire Jeff again as he is reliable and a good communicator who really likes cats. Highly recommended.”
“We had Rachael house sit and stay with our dog for a weekend while my husband and I were out of town. Rachael took great care of Pepper and our house was in great shape when we got home! Will definitely book the next time we need a sitter. Thanks Rachael!”
“Susannah was amazing with our two dogs! One of our dogs requires medication several times per day, and she was great about making sure he received his meds at the appropriate time and helping him through his medical complications. She was great about walking and playing with them and they were tuckered out even after we got back. She sent lots of photos and updates and we could tell our dogs were receiving lots of love and the best care. We can't recommend her enough!”
“Sarah was AMAZING! This was the first time leaving our 8 month labradoodle with a Rover in our apartment. She sent frequent and thorough updates with lots of photos. It was so great knowing about all of their walks and playtime together. She was incredibly calm and diligent which gave us the upmost trust and confidence. Ollie absolutely loved her and we look forward to working with Sarah again!”
“Marissa took great care of our senior dog. She was very communicative, punctual, attentive and caring. She sent updates throughout the whole time to make sure we were comfortable, which we really appreciated. Would definitely recommend her services!”
“Juliette was thoughtful, attentive, and attuned to my pet babies( a kitten and 1 year old dog). I would hire her again in a heartbeat. I enjoyed the daily photos abd updates and she was all around a lovely and compassionate person.”
About: Hi! I've had gerbils, fish and dogs growing up, fostered ducks, snakes and guinea pigs and house sat for the occasional cat (and house plants). My current living situation doesn't allow for me to have pets, but I'd love to spend time helping take care of yours I'm taking a break from engineering to get my EMT certification. I'm available all the time until class starts in May, when I'll be spending the weekday mornings in class I can't host in my home, (roommates with pet allergies) but I'm happy to drive (or train or bus or walk) to see yours in their space.
“Meeting Emily was a relief after our other pet sitter fell through in the days leading up to our trip. Emily was willing to do a last minute meet and greet and asked thoughtful questions about caring for our dogs and cats. She was communicative and our pets seemed to enjoy her presence. Would definitely recommend her!”
“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.”
“Erin is a caring and involved dog sitter, keeping our dogs active and happy!!! Winston (German Shepard) and Séamus (Lab) are very rambunctious and playful, almost non stop. Winston also gets anxious when his parents are away, definitely in thunderstorms. She reassured Winnie and kept him calm during a severe storm and feeling loved!! Our boys were well cared for and from all of the photos shared with us, they were definitely kept busy and happy. Erin also watered my garden and grabbed our mail and was an outstanding home sitter too. We know that we have connected with the right dog sitter for our boys and will reach out to her again! Thank you Erin!!!!”

Anna was absolutely terrific. She connected well with the dogs and kept great care of them. They are very active and she was as well. The house was spotless upon return. She also kept us very informed of what was happening with photos and text as needed. Again she is awesome.
Margaret was amazing! She watched my dog over the weekend and he immediately took to her. I immediately trusted Margaret - she is dependable, caring and conscientious. She checked in often- sending photos of her visits and updates on how my dog was doing. I would enthusiastically recommend Margaret to anyone and would trust that she will care about your pet as much as you do while you’re gone.
Amy was fantastic! My dog and cat adopted her right away and enjoyed their mini vacation! She even came home from work in the middle of the day to make sure the two animals were doing fine. And shoveled the side walk when we had some unexpected snow! :) Highly recommend.
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!
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!
