“Stephanie did a great job taking care of our old dog. She took care of our pet and house perfectly. It is wonderful to have peace of mind when away from our pet & home. Thanks, Stephanie!”

“Julia was simply amazing! She took care of our dog as if it were her own. She stayed with her the entire 3 days we were gone! Cleaned up the house, washed the sheets and made the bed!! Truly an amazing person and I'd recommend her for any length of time to care for your pet worry free! Thank you Julia! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Jasmin took care of our two dogs at our house for a weekend and did a wonderful job. She was communicative and attentive to details. She took excellent care of our two dogs, including paying close attention to our care instructions and following up with questions when needed. She was easy to reach and quick to respond. Our pups loved her and she left the house spotless. We would book her to take care of our pups again anytime in the future.”
“Jupiter did a great job. The house was clean and orderly when we returned, and the dogs were content.”
“Nikki did a great job caring for my two Bostons! She was warm, friendly and detail oriented about the specifics of their needs.

About: Hi! I am an experienced pet owner (cats, dogs, and one mouse). I’ve also worked part time as a dog walker and pet sitter for dogs and cats at various points over the last 15 years, establishing great relationships with my clients who used my services on a regular basis. Years ago I helped care for my roommate’s adorable Cocker Spaniel, feeding him, playing with him, leash training/walking him, and administering medication. I also have experience caring for and walking larger dogs, like golden retrievers, labs (including a puppy), and labradoodles. As for other pets, I had a pet mouse from babyhood to the ripe old age of 5. Currently I have one floofy, goofy orange cat, who I trained to fetch, sit, and lay down. He’s very dog-like and never leaves my side. I want nothing more than to help your pet feel safe and comfortable while you are away! Right now my schedule is very flexible. I can do most days and times between Monday and Saturday, house sitting, check ins, or dog walking. I will care for your home and neighborhood as if it were my own, respecting your property and the property of others. I am careful to follow all instructions you provide to ensure your pet is well taken care of when I visit. When visiting a client’s home, I make sure pets have what they need (fresh water, fed on time, clean litterbox, potty breaks and walks). As a pet owner myself, I appreciate when pet sitters spend time with my pet in addition to providing for my pet’s basic needs, so if you would like me to visit with them and play with them in addition to other responsibilities, sign me up!
“Guillermo took great care of Huck and our home! He sent photos and updates daily and I was able to enjoy our vacation knowing that my fur baby was in good hands. He left our house neat as a pin, and even gave Huck a good brushing and bath!”
“Carina was great! I had no worries at all when I was on vacation due to her updates. She was very flexible with their schedule. Highly recommend!”
About: As a devoted dachshund mom, I understand how much our pets mean to us- my dog Max is my best friend, and is my world! I know firsthand how important it is to have a reliable, personalized, and caring sitter who treats your pet like family. Whether your pup needs extra attention, playtime, or snuggles, I’m here to provide the same level of care I’d want for my own dog. When I’m not working as a wetland scientist, I love spending time with animals, and I’d love to help care for your dog or cat while I’m away. I’m comfortable with all sizes and types of dogs, and cats as well. I know that separation can be hard (for pets and their humans!), so I’ll make sure you stay updated with plenty of photos and check-ins. You can relax knowing your pet is in good hands 😊 I have limited commitments during the weekends other than taking care of my dog. I have a car and flexibility to take care of your pets like they are my own. I work full time as an environmental scientist and am primarily available on Fridays through Sundays. I am also available for holidays. I am a homeowner myself so will treat your space with care. I am detail-oriented and will plan to connect with you to gather any details on your pet's care and needs prior to pet sitting for you!
“Dan was a great dog and house sitter. Our two dogs loved him and he sent lots of pictures of the fun they had. We’d definitely use him again!”
“I am beyond happy with the quality of care Julia and Fran provided. They are so nice and accommodating, and it eased my worries knowing that my pups were in good hands while I was away. I would give 10 stars if I could! Thank you so much :)”
“Christine was lovely with Bonnie. She spoiled her and I felt very comfortable leaving Bonnie in her care. She has a natural gift with dogs and just loves to be around them. Absolutely happy with Christine”
About: Hi, my name is Alina and I will become a true friend for your dog. I am 28 (years old). I love pets very much. I lead a healthy lifestyle and have no bad habits.

“Once again, Kristin provided stellar care for Monty. She treats him as her own, going above and beyond every step of the way. We highly recommend her and will us her again and again. Thank you Kristin!!”
“Mackenzie was able to accommodate our request with only a week's schedule, even rearranging her schedule to ensure she could spend more time with our dog. Bella, who is usually an anxious dog, seemed really comfortable with her right from the start. She kept us updated during the day with cute photos. Would recommend!”
“She was excellent, and Gizmo loved her! By day three he was rolling over and giving her is belly fora rub - always a good sign! She followed his/our schedule, and kept him active. He was obviously well cared for when we saw him. Kelly completely respected our home, and left it as good and clean as when we left. I would recommend Kelly to anyone for similar services. I know we will be calling her again.”
“Tom was wonderful! Our dog is usually really nervous around strangers and we’re pretty used to coming home to a skinnier version of her but she seemed to really enjoy being around him. Would definitely ask him to look after them again.”
About: as someone who has worked with children and pets frequently in the past, i’m very committed to providing responsible care, as well as it bringing joy to my heart to spend time with sweet little furry friends! i am currently unemployed, so willing to be flexible with whatever timing! i’m hoping to spend a lot of time outside this summer, so would be super excited to go for walks/take dogs to the park! i do not have any pets of my own, one day in the future i would love to have a big yard to be able to give future pets a fun environment to live in!
“Kayla staying with our elderly Cat for a period of a week put our hearts and minds at ease. She loves animals, is friendly and listens to details to ensure she is caring for your pet properly. While we were away, we received pictures and videos daily of her spending time with our cat. As an elderly cat owner who needs several medications daily, this is beyond comforting. I can’t recommend Kayla enough. We will without a doubt be using Kayla for any short trips or long vacations we have planned going forward.”
