Helen was great while my partner and I were out of town. She sent tons of photos and videos, and the animals looked totally comfortable—even our nervous cat seemed to enjoy her, which is saying something! When we got home, everyone was happy and the apartment looked untouched, like she hadn’t even been there. We’ve never had a pet sitter before, but we were able to actually enjoy our trip knowing Helen was here.

About: Hi, I’m Kyree, a dedicated dog lover with one year of experience caring for dogs. I’ve dog sat before, including a week-long stay, and I’ve personally raised my own dogs to be well-behaved and smart through daily care, patience, and consistency. 🐾 Caring for dogs fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy being outside and staying active. I plan to do this as a part-time job, and dog walking allows me to combine my love for dogs with exercise, fresh air, and positive interaction. When I care for dogs in a client’s home, I treat them like my own. On walks, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, fresh water, and lots of positive attention while following the owner’s routine.

Kaitlyn was an absolute gem and made our weekend away completely stress-free! From the very first update, it was clear she truly cared about our dog and gave him the best possible time. She sent the sweetest, most detailed reports with adorable photos throughout the day. She went above and beyond, keeping him on a great routine and picking up after him so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It’s obvious Kaitlyn is caring and responsible, and we felt like he was in the very best hands the entire time. We can’t recommend her enough! Thank you, Kaitlyn, for taking such wonderful care of our dog 💙

Our pets are part of our family. Honestly, in our home, they’re more like our children, so entrusting someone new to care for them is always nerve-wracking. Between supplements mixed into meals, automatic Surefeed feeders, and a Litter-Robot setup, there’s a bit of a learning curve—but Demang and Shirley handled everything flawlessly, as if they’d known our cats forever. From the moment they met, it was clear that Demang and Shirley have a special gift with animals—a calm, intuitive presence that puts even the most anxious pet at ease. Our shy, skittish cat (who normally takes days to trust anyone) warmed up to them almost instantly. And our other cat, who loves attention, couldn’t get enough of their affection and playtime. When we returned home, the funniest thing happened. Our cats barely lifted their heads to greet us once they realized it wasn’t Demang and Shirley walking through the door! That says everything about how loved, secure, and happy they felt while we were away. It’s rare to find people who care for your pets with the same genuine love, attentiveness, and joy that you do, but that’s exactly who Demang and Shirley are. They’re true animal whisperers, and I feel incredibly grateful to have found them. I plan to use them for all our future cat care needs!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and some cats for quite some time! I used to volunteer at the animal shelter, and I take care of my friends' pets when they go on vacation. I’ll watch TikTok videos with your dogs or play hide-and-seek if that’s more their speed. I’m currently off work to apply to law school, so I have quite a bit of free time! I am free most weekdays; I just prefer a little heads-up! I’m super fun with dogs! You tell me what they like doing, and I’ll copy it! The thought of dogs sitting at home 8 hours a day while their friends are at work makes me sad, so I try to mimic what you would do to keep them happy.

5 Stars for Nelson! Nelson is hands down the best pet sitter out there! I recently had the absolute pleasure of trusting Nelson to care for my pets while I was away, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very start, he showed deep concern and thoughtful attention—not just to tasks, but to the emotional and physical well-being of my pets. He kept me consistently updated with sweet photos and messages, took initiative by changing the cat litter without being asked, and played wholeheartedly with the dogs. He even took Missy on multiple walks—completely unprompted—simply because he cared. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. What really blew me away is how Missy, who doesn’t warm up easily to people (especially men), loved Nelson. That’s practically a miracle in itself—and speaks volumes about his gentle energy, patience, and kindness. Nelson gave me genuine peace of mind. His heart, intuition, and respect for my pets’ personalities make him incomparable. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond and truly gets animals, Nelson is the one. Missy already misses him—and honestly, so do I!

My second time booking with Desdrianneja and I felt so comfortable leaving Onyx in her care again! She did not disappoint and communicated with me every day. Onyx loves her and I appreciate her professionalism and kindness towards not only my precious boy, but me as well. Thank you Desdrianneja 💗💗
