“Ashely was incredible!!! She gave great updates and was very easy to communicate with. My dog loved her! She also took fantastic care of my apartment while I was gone. I will for sure be booking with Ashley again! Thanks for everything Ashley!!!”
“Emily is a very trustworthy sitter who took great care of my Effy. She is a timely communicator and took down a detailed account of her time with my pet (as Effy is a struggling with a health issue), which I greatly appreciated. On time, and flexible.”
“Samantha took great care of two Labs and sent us lots of pictures, which we greatly appreciated! At the last minute, we had to ask her to drop off our sick cat at our Vet's office the day we left on our trip and she gladly did it. The next day, on her own initiative, she visited our cat at the Vet's office to give him some TLC.”
About: Hii ! my name is Maasha ( Pronounced like the month of May and ah sha) or Maemae ! I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs. I have a 6-year-old Shih Tzu named Paris, and she’s the sweetest girl ever. I also spend time at dog shelters playing with and caring for dogs, which has helped me get comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I can assure you that I’m very patient and attentive. I always make sure your fur babies feel comfortable and safe with me. I’m used to feeding, walking, giving medication if needed, and spending quality time with dogs. Pet care fits really well into my routine because I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, where I can stay with your pet and keep them company. I make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention they need, and I’ll always keep you updated so you know your pet is in good hands. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets. I always follow your instructions and keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable. I also have a large trail park near my place for walks if approved. I’ll make sure your pet is safe and happy
“Kora was wonderful. She was very communicative and our boys (two dogs and a cat) were all very well cared for. I would absolutely ask Kora back and highly recommend her to anyone else.”
“Noah did a wonderful job watching our pups while we were away! He was especially attentive and caring with our elderly dog, including administering medication, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great, and we could tell our dogs were well cared for and loved. We would absolutely have Noah watch them again and highly recommend him!”
“Han did a wonderful job! So happy we found them! Our furry family was well taken care of, and so was our home. Looking forward to working with them again in the future!”
“We recently adopted our dog and were concerned with leaving her so soon. Karlina was amazing with our dog, we received multiple pictures throughout the stay and I could tell our dog was well loved and extremely happy. I will continue to use Karlina anytime we need a dog sitter.”
“We couldn’t with Jamie our dogs and cat sitter. From the moment we met, it was clear how caring, responsible, and genuinely loving Jamie is with animals. Our 2 dogs were so happy and clearly adored, and our cat was relaxed and comfortable the entire time. We received great updates and photos which gave us total piece of mind while we were away. Our home was treated with respect, and our 2 dogs and cat were cared for like they were her own. We would highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dependable pet sitter and will 100% be booking again!!”
About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reliable companion while you're away, I strive to provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual needs. I work from home so I can prioritize your pets needs around the clock. My schedule can work seamlessly with puppies or small dogs that need frequent bathroom breaks. At home, I care for my own dog like family. I have a Frenchie who I absolutely adore, and her daily routine includes regular walks, playtime, and visits to the park so she can stay active and social. She’s very friendly, gentle, and loves being around other dogs, so she’s a great example of the calm, positive environment I aim to provide for any pets in my care
“Brittany is the best! This is the 2nd time I've used her when I travel abroad for over 2 weeks. All three of my dogs (all on multiple meds, 2 in diapers, 2 elderly, 1 special diet, 4x day need to go out) get all the care, attention, play and love they need. She communicates well without being intrusive, sends me pictures, and alerts me if anything is going on of concern with the house. It's difficult to put a price on the peace of mind I have when she is holding down the fort so I can enjoy my respite away. I will continue to use Brittany. I encourage you to book her for your next vacation.”
“We couldn't be happier with our experience with Christine. We were so grateful to wake up to daily pics and cute captions/updates and continue to receive more during the day. We were super nervous to leave our dogs, especially since one is on hospice but Christine made sure she got her medd and reassured me daily that all was well. To say nothing of the fact that we came home to a clean house and linens so we could fall straight into bed after a long day of travel. 1,0000% recommend and hope we can have her come stay again. Thank you so much Christine for taking such good care of our babies.”
“This was my first time leaving my two dogs with someone other than family. Kailyn did an amazing job with my two dogs who have a lot of behavioral issues that require special considerations (feeding and walking separately, medications, etc). She sent me pics and videos of the dogs too. Highly recommend!”
“Destany was AMAZING! She watched my puppy on my wedding day, and she went above and beyond to make sure he was happy the entire time. She truly went the extra mile to make our special day stress free, and brought a sweet gift. It is all a testament to her kindness and professionalism. We will definitely be booking again!”

Noah did a wonderful job watching our pups while we were away! He was especially attentive and caring with our elderly dog, including administering medication, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great, and we could tell our dogs were well cared for and loved. We would absolutely have Noah watch them again and highly recommend him!
Danielle was absolutely wonderful! She was attentive to the pups and communicative with us every day! One of our pups is timid and takes a lot of time to warm up. She was patient and understanding with him. She even took special care of the other pup when he got sick. After our initial meeting I knew our little guys would be in great hands! Upon arriving home, the house was clean and sheets/towels had even been washed! Although not asked of her, it’s always nice to come back from vacation and not have to worry about cleaning up!! We will definitely hire her again.
It was wonderful to enjoy a relaxing vacation knowing our fur babies were in excellent hands! Worrying about our pets has always been stressful but not this time. Abigail took excellent care of our energetic dog and cat as well as our house. It was so refreshing to come home to happy pets! Thank you Abigail! We look forward to working with you again.
