“Wonderful job with our cat, Kitty! Will definitely hire again.”

“Sophia was a perfect fit to care for my fur baby, Florence. She was accountable, trustworthy, and took care of Florence like she was her own! I would recommend Sophia to any of my friends and strangers alike. A true bond was formed and I’m so thankful to have found Sophia to care for Florence while I am away! Thank you!”

“Dalilah has always been there for me when I needed my dogs watched and she always does a great job. My dogs love her (sometimes more than me it seems). She has this way of always getting along with them and she loves doing it. Overall I would highly recommend her when it comes to peace of mind concerning your pets.”

“Meaghan has grown up around animals. As a young child, she learned to take care of rabbits and guinea pigs and feels comfortable around small animals. She loves cats and has been surrounded by them for many years. She has experience with difficult cats, medicating cats, and dealing with complex dietary needs. She is also good with dogs and makes sure they get sufficient playtime and exercise.”

They know where there is love. Shayna's whole family are Big animal lovers. She definitely has what it takes to give your pet the special attention your looking for.”

“I can give Olivia high marks on pet care. She stayed with us for a few months during Covid 19 and our puppy was transformed from a scatterbrain to a listening attentive learner. Olivia quickly became a favorite with our pup Frida for her loving but consistent manner. Olivia is reliable, conscientious and loves dogs ... and they love her too!”

About: 👋🏼 I have taken care of pets starting at the age of 6, where I grew up with my dog Maui along with horses, cats, chickens, parakeets and fish (even had a period where I took care of some mice). I was responsible for feeding and exercising, giving medication and bandaging any wounds, along with the normal love and care put into pets. I’ve had the pleasure of watching friends and acquaintances animals as well over the years. I treat each pet according to their specific needs as I know every pet is different. I’m a professional runner, so my time is flexible. I am currently able to walk, house sit or feed at almost any time of the day or week. I have 3 dogs at home that are both inside and outside dogs. They sleep inside and I take them to the park regularly, and when they need a bit more vitamin D I let them in the yard to sunbathe. While I don’t offer boarding, during house sitting I will keep your pets routine as close as possible to their normal schedule.

About: I grew up being surrounded by veterinarians, I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals, from frenchies to ducks, for myself, friends and family for the last fifteen years. I’m excited to meet yours! I’m currently working on my own schedule and remotely. I have the flexibility to move my day around to accompany your needs, I could walk your pet at 5 am if you need! Having grown up on a ranch and now living in a city, I am used to all kinds of lifestyles for pets! There’s no animal too big or small, they all deserve endless amounts of love!

“Remi is a wonderful care taker. After our initial meeting, I knew she was the right person to care for my senior dog. She even visited with my gecko. Remi will be my go-to person for future needs. I strongly recommend her!”

“Alyssa has done a great job watching my dog who is quite the handful. She was regular on his walks, taking him out, and even trained him for a couple new tricks! I would recommend her to anyone that’s looking for a pet sitter or walker.”

“Heather is a very reliable pet sitter. I heard from her after each visit and got lots of photos of my happy cat.”

“Melissa did such a fantastic job with our cats. We were gone for a week, and they were very well cared for. We appreiated how she spent time with the cats instead of just feeding and leaving. Her descriptions of what she did were thorough, and the pictures she sent were great. Very reliable and highly recommended.”
