I hired Natalie to walk my dog while I had all day commitment. She was amazing with my dog who can be shy with strangers. She followed directions perfectly and even came back after discovering an issue with the punch code on the front door. I’d highly recommend her. She’s clearly a committed person and animal lover.

Alex and I have had doggy play dates together and Alex possesses strong intuition and experience with caring for canines. When it comes to pups in a public setting, Alex recognizes play boundaries and is able to deescalate issues as they arise. I trust Alex with my dog or any other animal!

Hans has walked my dog and done occasional house-sitting for my dog and two cats over the past two years. I am disabled so cannot walk my dog as often as she needs and Hans has been an amazing help. My dog, Sadie, loves him and is always happy to see him. The cats love him too and enjoy playing and cuddling when he has pet-sat for us. Hans is punctual, a great listener, and kind. I highly recommend him for any/all of our pet care needs.

Grace took care of our cat, Holly, and apartment while we were away for a week. She took excellent care of Holly and followed our instructions for feeding perfectly. Our cat has no teeth so she requires a little extra care around feeding. Holly really enjoyed Grace and we received many happy pictures of them cuddling. Grace also was house-sitting for us, and she did a great job at keeping our house clean and safe. Grace is very kind, communicative, and punctual. I highly recommend her for all your pet and house sitting needs!
