“Helen was awesome with our rabbit! She was punctual, communicated well, followed all of our instructions, took great pictures, and helped me feel so at ease while we were out of town. 10/10 would recommend!”

“I’m so happy with the care provided for my three cats! They took the time to make sure each of them felt comfortable, and it was clear right away that the cats trusted them—they warmed up very quickly, which says a lot. They made sure the cats ate well and were looked after with attention and kindness. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Ashley was amazing! Our cats loved her and she took great care of our home. We felt so relieved she was able to look after our gatos very last minute. She was very attentive, super friendly, great with communication, sent lots of photos and updates of our fur babies, gave our cats treats and much love. We are just so happy and grateful Ashley was our pet sitter. I will definitely book again if she is available in the future! 1000% worth it. Thank you Ashley!!”

“Claire was absolutely wonderful watching our older Great Dane while we were out of town. She was very respectful of us, our dog, and our home, and she took such thoughtful, loving care of our dog, really paying attention to how she was feeling each visit and what she needed that particular time. Will absolutely rebook!”

About: My house (and my life) is full of furry babies - two cats and a dog that I adopted and adore, and I’m usually the favorite aunt to many in my family. I have patience with animals that I sometimes won’t have with people :) they just awaken that sweet side of me. I have worked and volunteered at animal shelters and did private sitting for clients. I am familiar with most breeds and behaviors as well as most common medical emergencies and needs. I have experience in canine behavior, and I can be extremely patient with shy or somewhat aggressive dogs and cats. I don’t stress easily, and I’m very resourceful if needed. I value your trust deeply, and I will care for your babies like I care for mine 💜 I work from home 3 times a week, so I am pretty flexible with my schedule, and I have reliable transportation. I can offer in house services, drop off and pick up your baby from the vet, grooming salon, training session and more. I have a large backyard where your babies can run as they please. I have a large crate if needed, and plenty of space and trails around the neighborhood to take them out for walks.

“Erin has been absolutely AMAZING for us and our sweet boxer puppy! We have needed a pet sitter for the first 2 months having our puppy and Erin has gone above and beyond with her. She takes her on walks, plays with her, socializes her with others, makes sure she has plenty of food and water and is just everything we could have asked for in a pet sitter, we HIGHLY recommend!!!”

“Geneva is a very patient pet sitter! I had a bit of trouble with my booking and she helped me through it and never made me feel bad about it. Would definitely recommend her and use her services again.”

“Sophia came by for several drop in visits over the weekend while I was out of town! My two fur babies were well taken care of and seemed to really enjoy Sophia! She was very punctual and sent a lot of photos and updates! I highly recommend Sophia to care for your pups and I will definitely book with her again!”

About: I grew up breeding and raising boxer puppies with my family, my father is a veterinarian so I’ve had a bunch of first hand experience. I love taking care of and hanging out with all kinds of dogs, and I love training them as well. I'm currently taking online courses, so my schedule is very flexible. I can walk dogs practically anytime of the day as well as going to houses and taking care of them or whatever service is needed. I have a fairly large fenced backyard that the dogs can run around and have fun in with plenty of toys for them to play with. I also have experience with all sizes of dogs. I look forward to being able to take care of any dogs that I can. I'm currently taking online courses, between that and a couple of hours training at the gym I have plenty of free time to look after your fur babies. I like to always be near so I have a dog bed in my bedroom which is where all my previous pups normally slept, but they are free to roam and explore my home. I also have a large crate if needed.

I am a fellow sitter that needed a sitter for my cat. Jediah is friendly and responsible. She was attentive during our video-chat meet-and-greet and communicated throughout the process. Our cat was happy when we got home which shows me that she provided amazing care. I definitely recommend Jediah.
