“JJ was terrific from start to finish. They asked great questions and took notes at our meet and greet and was overall easy to communicate with. They were adept at interacting with both my slightly needy kitty and my shy kitty and sent great updates every day. I knew my cats were in good care. Definitely recommend.”

“Megan takes amazing care of our girl. The pictures and updates she sends are just such a comfort when we’re away from home. One picture from this most recent trip with our dog’s huge, full-teeth smile had us laughing out loud but also just made us so happy that she was that happy while her family was away. We feel so incredibly lucky to have Megan as our dog sitter. Thank you, Megan!!”

12. Polina G.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies for three years by now. For the longest time, I worked for Petco company, which allowed me to experience pet care of every kind. Very often my job included playing with puppies, dog sitting, dog walking, soothing pets when they were in distress. I’ve learned to find an individual approach to every dog. Like people, they have personalities, so it’s important to establish contact and trust with them! I currently live in a household with a large, German Shepherd puppy. He is absolutely adorable, and I enjoy taking him for daily walks, playing with him and giving him his favorite treats. Despite the fact that he isn’t mine, I formed a deep bond with him, and now almost see him as my own child xD I am available any day of the week, any time. Pets are my passion, so I’m always happy to spend time with them! At the moment, I have no other job except for a small online project, so I am able so spend a lot of quality time with your dogs. Not only adult dogs but also small, full of energy puppies are always welcome! I don’t have a dog, but a house owner who is a good friend of mine has a German shepherd puppy. We live together, so I often help him by taking our hyperactive boy to walks, playing with him and buying the special food he requires. It’s so much fun!
13. Amiri T.

“Melina is WONDERFUL! She came in 3 days this week and each day did an INCREDIBLE JOB!
