“So quick to respond when I had an issue with my litter robot and showing up last minute to help my kitties out. Definitely booking again and highly recommend to anyone needing help with their fur babies! Thank you Sanjana!”

“Bianca was amazing with my dogs. She was very responsive throughout the whole process, keeping me updated every step of the way with texts and photos. She is very good with dogs and able to handle them even though they have a lot of energy. I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I grew up caring for my two miniature schnauzers and my cat so I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have long-term cat sat for a friend and regularly walk my friend’s dogs since I work from home and genuinely love spending time with pets. I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines and I always make sure every pet feels safe, happy, cared for, and loved. I work from home so I have flexibility to walk whenever if you give me a heads up but I usually like walking dogs as a way to get my steps in during the morning. Before 9am is ideal. When I come to walk your dog, I make sure they get plenty of exercise attention and a safe, enjoyable outing. Before the first walk, I’ll ask for any important detail details about safely accessing your home or building so everything goes smoothly - door code’s gate instructions or anything else I should know. I always follow your walking preferences keep dogs, leashed at all times, doublecheck doors and gates, and make sure your pup is comfortable before and after the walk. You’ll receive photo updates and a quick note so you always know how to walk went and how your dog is doing.

“Joan was so great! I could tell that she really cared for my dog. She shared lots of pictures and detailed notes while I was away for a long weekend.

Until next time Andrea, take care!(:”

About: I have always been great with animals ever since I was a kid. My family always calls me the ‘animal whisperer’. I have been pet sitting for many family members and friends for multiple years. I have experience with small dogs, large dogs, nervous dogs, energetic dogs, etc. I also have experience with cats, bunnies, and hamsters. I have gotten nothing but positive reviews from owners and I would love to take care of your furry friend! Because of my summer break I am available pretty much every day! Aside from a few vacations I am free both weekends and week days! Ensuring your pets safety and comfort is always my top priority. When I do drop in visits I will always make sure that there is nothing around the house that your pet could get into and get hurt.

Katie was so amazing! She watched my sweet cat over a weekend and did such a great job making sure all of her stuff was set up each day and playing with her! She also sent me so many pics each day which I am so thankful for and made being away from my cat much easier for me. Thank you Katie!!

Allison took wonderful care of my cats. She was very responsive, on time, and gave me great peace of mind while we were away. I felt completely relaxed knowing they were in such good hands. I would happily trust Allison with my pets again and highly recommend her.

Laura is a fantastic sitter and was extremely helpful when dropping in to assist with feeding my cat, Surge. Surge has diabetes and also requires special eye drops, so Laura’s help with administering his post-meal insulin shot and eye drops was crucial in keeping his health in check while I was away.
