“Thank you, Qi, for excellently following directions and taking great care of my babies. You gave me peace of mind to enjoy my day away from home.”
2. Chris N.
“Chris has been amazing to work with. He is very attentive to our cat Cooney and leaves a very detailed summary after each visit. I had to make a few last minute changes to the original schedule days and he accommodated with no issues. Took lots of pictures and videos to keep us updated, and was very responsive.”
3. Sam C.
“Sam was fantastic with our two cats and went above and beyond with everything. We also appreciated the responsiveness for meeting up and with any questions. Would definitely book Sam again!”
4. Frank D.
“Frank makes sure to look after his own dog and makes sure to entertain any other dog he encounters. Frank is aware all the time of what is happening around the pups, including vigilance around what they are sniffing and trying to eat stuff off the ground. Frank is friendly, and shows his care for every pup he comes into contact with.”
5. Michele M.
“This was my first time working with Michele, and she was amazing! She was punctual, reliable, and communicated effectively with me. She gave my shy senior cat the time and space he needed to get comfortable with her, allowing him to warm up to her much quicker than he typically does with new people. I enjoyed hearing about how their check-ins were going, and Michele was very receptive to trying new tips and tricks I'd share along the way to help win his affection. I know I can trust my cat with Michele, and I will definitely be requesting her services again in the future!”
6. Sravanthi S.
“Sravanthi was great with my senior cat! My kitty was happy and healthy when I arrived home from vacation 😺 Communication was prompt and she sent super cute photos and videos. Thanks Sravanthi!”
7. Estela L.
“Estela has such a huge heart especially when it involves animals. She's is so caring and loving to every animal. If she had a farm she would take in all stray animals because she loves animals. Her heart makes her go above and beyond when taking care of animals she will follow the animals routine since she knows that is important for an animal. She will for sure snuggle your animal if your animal is a smuggler but will give it it's space when needed. If you choose Estela you won't be disappointed.”
8. Nicole A.
“Nicole was super patient and communicated very promptly. She kindly handled the preventive measures of ant risks when caring for our cat, during our home’s special times. We really appreciate her company for our cat and she loved it too!”

About: I love animals and have been my friends and family's go-to pet sitter for as long as I can remember dubbing me their favorite aunt! Whether it's a tiny kitten or a Great Dane like my best friend's dog, Cleo, I've watched a variety of pets with lots of love and care. Being raised on a farm provided me with a heartfelt connection to animals as well as a thorough understanding of the responsibilities of caring for them. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority during their stay. You can rest assured they will receive the same love, attention, and care as they do at home. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time and days off during the week as well as weekends to take care of your pups! During their stay, your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I will play with and give them attention when they seek it, and respect their need for space when they want to be alone. I will also provide excellent care to whatever needs they may need.

18. Ashley P.
About: I've cared for dogs since I was around 10-11 years old. I love animals and, with time, have done my best to provide for my dogs and others. I have cared for my friend's dog for about two years and give him the same love and care as my dog of 10 years. I have taken care of puppies my dog has had and raised them well enough to be healthy for adoption. I notice small details about my dogs and will do the same for yours in case of a difference in behavior. I just graduated university and am available whenever for your pets needs! I am flexible and will give the best care I can for your lovely pets. Caring for pets in a client's home means respecting their space while still carrying out the tasks needed for their pet. I will do my best to clean any messes that are pet-related and if the pet is to be placed in a crate, I will do just that.
