“Very attentive to our pup and proactive on communication”
“Great sitter! Sent me tons of pictures & updates. He took great care of my spoiled baby! So glad I’ve found a sitter I can trust!”
“Breanna was very responsive and took great care of Fitz. He is shy and cautious by nature, but seemed very comfortable and happy in the photos and when I returned. I think he had a great time!”
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we booked Angelica at the last minute. Luckily, she was available and flexible enough to arrive at 6am and take care of Archie all day. Communication was excellent, and Angelica sent pics throughout the day. Will definitely book Angelica again.”
“Left our three musketeer pups for the weekend, 2 of which are senior and one that requires a bit of extra assistance. We got the cutest and most detailed updates of our pups, and could tell how well taken care of they were while we were gone. Can’t wait to have Stephanie watch and walk our fur babies again next time!”
“Sara was great! Our dogs loved her and she sent tons of photos every day. She was very communicative and followed all the instructions we left for her.”
“It is such a gift to have connected with Hazel; we have had her stay with our Effie dog many, many times now and we never worry for a single second. She shares so many updates and goes the extra mile to take care of Effie and our home. We most recently went on a long trip abroad and truly felt like we had a trusted relative staying in our house taking care of Effie. Just the absolute best.”
About: I have always enjoyed caring for all kinds of animals, being their comfort, as well as building a loving connection. I have looked after family members’ and friends’ pets in the past, while they were away or just needed some extra help. Also, I do have experience with different temperaments, so shy or anxious is no issue! I never stop learning more insight about animals, so you can be rest assured knowing a reliable person is looking after your pets. At the moment, I am currently fully available for your pets needs. I can throughout the week walk/ pet sit. I look forward to meeting and caring for your animal. I am always happy knowing that I’m able to provide great care for each client’s pet. I’m happy to accommodate myself to your pets schedule and needs to mitigate any anxiety or disruption in regular routine. Including feeding times, daily walks, play time etc. safety is always in the forefront. All in all, I am committed to maintaining their routines and keeping them happy.
About: What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood. As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.
“Javier is a very good sitter who watched our little one through Thanksgiving break. He gave great updates throughout and gave us a good debrief afterwards”
“Katrina is a true animal lover who was great with my hyper 45-lb hound mix Sage. She's been on a couple of walks and one overnight housesit. I trust her to keep Sage (an unpredictable bolter when spotting squirrels) safe on the leash and reliabily show up for each walk, even accommodating last minute schedule changes. Katrina took good care of my house while we were gone and even picked up some bone shards that could have been a choking hazard. To top it all off, I got a selfie of Katrina & Sage snuggling in bed. Sage will be looking forward to her new caretaker's return soon.”
“She was very attentive to both of our Shih Tzu girls and did a great job we would use her again”
“Ivanna is everything we needed, close by, prompt, took great care of my dog, spent the whole day with her, gave her a walk, etc. Can't leave the dog alone long, she gets stressed, with Ivanna I came home to a happy dog. Definitely recommend, will use her again”
“Me and my babies had such a great experience with Neemah ! Oh, my animals loved her and she was there for everything that they needed and more. She was also amazing at giving me updates to keep my mind at ease while I was away. Would definitely recommend her services and will definitely be back!”
About: I’ve currently been a vet tech for 6 years. Friends and family always come to me when they need somebody to watch their furry friends because I understand their need for play, fun and ensuring the safety of their pet. I understand the need for safety and would treat your animals like my own. My dog has had numerous health problems including IVDD and IBD, that being said I am comfortable giving oral and injectable medication :) I currently go to school full time until about 3:30 pm. I am a part time vet tech and have pet nail trim business with a coworker where we go to clients homes. I currently do not offer pet sitting in my home. However, in your home I will always make sure there is available food, water and a toy when I leave. Just leave me with instructions of what you would want me to do and leave the rest to me!
About: I was a soldier in my country, I took my dog training course and worked with many breeds. I really like sharing my time with pets and I will take care of them as if they were my own. I work part-time and I want to share my free time with pets and take care of them as if they were my own and pamper them so that they feel good with me until they return home. I have an empty backyard which I could use for the care and much more of your pets with the greatest security and more confidence
About: What sets me apart is my calm energy, reliability, and ability to adapt to each dog’s individual needs—whether they’re high-energy puppies or gentle seniors. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always respectful of your dog’s routine and your home. I have experience with crate training, basic commands, and helping build confidence in shy or anxious dogs. I’m also comfortable with senior care, including slower paced walks, medication schedules, and mobility support. I show up on time, communicate clearly, and always put your dog’s safety and comfort first. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is in good hands, and for your dog to feel relaxed, understood, and cared for while you’re away. I do have a structured weekday schedule working a full time job, I genuinely love spending time with animals it’s a passion of mine and why I offer pet care as a side job. I’m available for early morning walks, evening visits (especially on non-class days), and weekend I am fully available to care including overnights. I make sure every booking fits responsibly into my routine, so you can count on me to be fully present and dependable for your pet. I don’t currently offer care in my own home, as I live with my parents, but I’m always happy to care for pets in your home where they’re most comfortable. I’m respectful of your space, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure your pet’s routine is kept consistent. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, medication, or just quiet company, I give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I keep things clean, stick to your preferences, and make sure you stay updated so you can feel confident while you're away.
“Veronica was absolutely wonderful with my babies! She went above and beyond, from picking up new toys and treats for the girls, to taking them on adventures, and doing everything she could to make them comfortable and happy. I received a ton of pics and videos and it was easy to tell how happy my Lily and Bella were with Veronica's care. I highly recommend Veronica for your pet sitting needs.”

We’ve been close since college, and I’ve always admired how deeply he listens—not just to friends, but to everyone (and I know he’d do the same with any pet). He’s the kind of person who really shows up for people, communicates with honesty and warmth, and puts real care into everything he does—whether it’s leading community rides with his cycling club or going all in on his internship work. He’s responsible, diligent, and just has a huge heart. Any pet would be lucky to have Trey around!”
