“Linda was an excellent cat sitter! She took care of our cat for 8 days and was always consistent and prompt with her drop in updates and photos. We were hesitant to leave our cat for so long but she made us feel comfortable and that our girl was taken care of. Would definitely recommend her and look forward to working with her again.”
“Pooja is amazing with Leo! We've had her coming every week and he absolutely loves her. She's so sweet and always keeps us in the loop with pictures and updates. She takes great care of him. Highly recommend!”

“Toni took great care of our cat! We enjoyed the daily updates and pictures and upon return the house looked great! We would definitely recommend Toni and plan to use her services in the future. Thanks again Toni!”

About: Sí, hablo español Hi, I’m Riley! I have over 20 years of pet care experience across the United States. In the past, I’ve help train puppies, care for elder dogs, and have provided excellent care for dogs with a wide range of energy levels, age, breed, and demeanor. The care of your pet is paramount, and as a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to know that your four legged child is safe and happy while you are away. Rest assured I will help give your dog or cat a vacation away from home while they are in my care! I work from home and can care for your pet throughout the day without any issues. We live in a walkable neighborhood right next to a park with great sniffs and plenty of dogs in the area for them to make friends. I live in a downtown area with plenty of safe, walkable streets and parks that offer dogs great exercise, sniffs, and companionship with other dogs. While I don’t have a yard, I am located close to the elevators to quickly go outside should to go, and have plenty of walkable streets and grass around me.
“Kara was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond with keeping our 2 kitties company while we were out of town. We knew they were in great hands! Tons of pictures, videos and communication the whole time. We’d love to have her watch them again! 😊”


About: I’m a devout animal lover with three dogs of my own including a senior and one cat. My dogs range in age from 5-11 and weights of 11lbs to 55lbs. My cat is 7 years old and a tabby. I will care for your pet like its my own. I work remote but I’m available in the morning, some afternoons, evenings and weekends for drop-ins, walks, etc. I understand that you may have urgent needs to so I can adjust my schedule (where available) to accommodate. I always check the outside first when I’m doing a drop in to make sure its safe for the dog to go out. With cats, I like to sit with them for a bit to give them a chance to feel me out before I feed them. If we’re walking, I will find out from the owner what are the suggested routes so that the dog feels comfortable.
About: What sets me apart is the calm, safe, and loving environment I provide for every pet I care for. Animals naturally tend to feel comfortable around me, and I take pride in building trust with them through patience, attention, and affection. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets who may need extra patience and gentle care. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality, energy level, and needs so they feel secure, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that’s active playtime, relaxing cuddles, or simply keeping them company and making them feel loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home as an online tutor. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets attention before, after, and in between tutoring sessions throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means relaxing indoors with cuddles and companionship or getting outside for walks, playtime, fresh air, and exercise. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I love making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and a client’s home. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and in a calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. When outdoors, I stay very aware of our surroundings and communicate carefully with others before allowing any interactions with people or other animals. I always prioritize safe walks, playtime, and exercise. Indoors, I make sure the environment is clean and pet-safe by keeping anything potentially harmful out of reach. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and body language to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and enjoying their time with me. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care so pets feel safe, cared for, and at home while their owners are away.
“We could not be more pleased! Rose treated our puppy (who is a handful at 9 wks of age!) as if she were her own. This was a tough time to be away from our new baby but I believe Rose’s care has made a big difference. It certainly has set my mind at ease, getting frequent reports and photos with every visit. Thank you Rose! We highly recommend her services.”

Тогда просто заменим имя: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We are extremely happy with the care Toni provided for our dog and cat while we were away. From the photos and updates she sent, it was clear that both of our pets felt comfortable and safe with her. Our dog looked happy and relaxed, and what impressed us the most was our cat. She is usually very shy and does not let anyone pet her, but she trusted Toni and even allowed her to pet her. That alone says a lot about the kindness, patience, and genuine connection Toni has with animals. Throughout our entire vacation, we felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. Finding someone you can truly trust with your animals and your home is incredibly important, and Toni gave us that peace of mind. We are very grateful for the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Toni! ❤️🐶🐱 Tatiana & Nikita

Carmen is phenomenal! She is communicative, timely, and thoughtful during her visits. One of my kitties is very shy and hides whenever new people arrive. She was patient and sat with her until she came out for some love. Another one of the cats needed medicine for anxiety and she was able to give him his meds without any issue. Our dog loves her as well and is always so excited to see her. I’m so glad we found Carmen!

Christa was phenomenal! The care she gave my Napoleon and Edie was perfect and they loved her! Although I missed them terribly they didn’t miss me…they were happy to snuggle & play with Christa! I will definitely ask Christa to cat sit for me whenever I am out of town! Thanks Christa, we love you!!!😻😻

As always, Kara is the BEST. Our Oli was having some tummy problems when we left and Kara kept an extra close eye on her the whole trip. In fact, for the first time ever, Oli wasn’t even that excited when we got home, as she had such a great time with Kara!! Highly recommend Kara and she is our go to sitter.

Joseph was very professional and fully capable of caring for my precious Pittie in my absence. I was very worried at first as this was my first time but Joseph made sure to send me updates (pictures & videos) to keep me in the loop during time of care. I would highly recommend his services and will be utilizing his services as well in the future. My dog bonded with him very early on which made it much easier for all of us. Kudos Joseph!

Caitlyn was so professional! It was my first time ever leaving my dog with anyone and she did a great job at reassuring me, and sending pictures every day as well as just following his schedule. She communicated very well and my dog loved her! I definitely will book with her again.

Jeannette is the absolute best!! I cannot recommend her enough. Jeannette treats our sweet old dog like a prince. I used to stress about going out of town because he cannot be boarded. But now that we found Jeannette I don’t stress at all. She treats our dog like one of her own. Kinglsley looks forward to her visits and her care

We’d like to thank Cole for his amazing help! We were in a difficult situation when our dog sitter disappeared on the very day we left for vacation. I was so nervous my vacation could be ruined. We suddenly had to look for someone new while already away, fully expecting it to be a complete stranger. But thank God, Cole turned out to be an incredible person who immediately stepped in and took great care of our pets. We are beyond grateful! A million thanks!!! Highly recommended - 100%! 🐾
