Elle was very professional and loving to my cat, Toshi. She came on time and left my home spotless. I would definitely recommend her to others.

cannot say enough good things about [Dog Sitter’s Name]. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and friendly, which instantly gave me peace of mind. [He/She/They] took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, and it really showed in the care provided. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pup was relaxed and content (a true sign of great care!). It’s not easy to trust someone with your furry family member, but Jewell exceeded all expectations. Reliable, caring, and professional — I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own.

Excellent as always! Rebeca is so sweet to Captain and is as calm as possible to help manage his hyper Golden energy. ** Major bonus points: She is always entering and exiting quietly during the evenings when my baby is down for the night.

About: I have thoroughly enjoyed taking care of different dogs from a variety of breeds and ages for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family know that they can rely on me to care for their fur babies! I have also worked on a farm with a variety of different animals including puppies along with working for a dog walking company. I am a spiritual life coach in the process of expanding my business. I work from home and am my own boss which gives me a lot of flexibility in creating my schedule. I do have time slots when i'm working with clients but besides that I am able to be quite flexible based on your needs. I love to connect with the pets ahead of time to get to know their personality along with meeting the parents and seeing if i'm a good fit. I care for pets in my client’s home and learn what the pets’ essential needs are and what I should do when they demonstrate certain behaviors.

Hailey was amazing taking care of my two kitties. One of them takes medication and she did everything asked. Chaz is very weary with other people. It took a couple times and Chaz was happy to see her. She was also quick of responding to me when I wanted her to add some medication to my other cat. I’m new to this and glad I decided to go with her. I will use her in the future. She was so very nice, thank you Hailey!

About: I specialize in shy, nervous, and sensitive pets who need a little extra patience and understanding. My calm energy helps animals feel safe and open up at their own pace. Even the ones who “don’t like people” usually end up loving me 🐾 I plan my weekly routine around my pet care commitments to ensure reliability and consistency. I’m organized, punctual, and mindful of each pet’s schedule, whether that’s feeding times, walks, or medication. I take this responsibility seriously and make sure every pet receives dependable, quality care. Your pet’s safety and emotional comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment and take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, especially those who are shy or sensitive. I’m very attentive, gentle, and communicative, so you can feel completely at ease while your pet is in my care.

About: Aloha, My name is Sierra and I’m a huge animal lover! I have grown up with animals my entire life. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, lizards…you name it. I’m comfortable with any kind of pet. Being surrounded by animals has really sparked a passion in me and even led me into my career. I used to work full time as a veterinary technician, so you know your fur babies are in good hands with me! I can’t wait to meet your adorable pets! I am currently a stay at home mom with my almost 2 year old daughter so I will have plenty of time to give your fur baby all the love and attention they deserve! I have a fully fenced yard so you never have to worry about them getting loose. I have 3 cats of my own who are all very friendly and do well with other cats and dogs, however accommodations can always be made and my cats can be confined to a certain area of the house.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have two of my cats who do not currently live with me. one I’ve cared for over six years. I’m easy to work with, dependable, and especially patient with senior pets. I gained a lot of experience helping care for my grandma’s senior dog, as well as two crazy pugs (so i can handle anything). Whether it’s dogs or cats, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! Saturday i am busy all day, but Friday and Sunday available after 5. I am free to help with whatever you need throughout the week. When caring for pets in their home, I treat them like family. I carefully follow any care instructions, feeding, walks, medication, and spend quality time giving them attention and comfort to help them feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

We always ask for Kim when it comes to watching our dogs while we are gone. She was our first and is our only sitter for our dogs and couldn’t imagine anyone else doing the job. You need Kim to watch your dogs, you won’t regret it! Punctuality, reliability, attention to detail, and kindness are just a few of wonderful qualities you can expect when working with her. Thank you again Kim!
