“Joanne is a true gem. She’s been extremely accommodating and a great companion to Grizzly when I’m at work. She’s professional, responsible and super friendly. Grizzly enjoyed her walk and Joanne sent amazing pictures! I’ll be rebooking in the future!”
“It is extremely comfortable to know when we gonoit of town that Ryane will make sure our fur babies are kept very happy and safe. She goes above and beyond which even gives us even more comfort.”
“Ash had another great week of visits with Anna! I really appreciate Anna's love for animals and her commitment to being a great communicator. I will be moving very soon and am very sad that by moving out of the area I will have to find someone new to visit with Ash. I am so grateful for Anna's visits with my dog. I highly recommend booking with Anna!”
“If you’re looking for a dog sitter I highly recommend Karen and Donald. I was very apprehensive at first for anyone to watch after my dog. However they made me feel very comfortable by the interaction they had with myself and my dog. They were very helpful and informative. Once again I highly recommend them.”
“Amanda was great! Could tell right away she loves animals and I could trust her from the start. My dog has separation anxiety and Amanda was very understanding of that. Would highly recommend her 100%”
“Andrew was incredible!! He watched our 2 cats while we were out of town for about a week and was very quick to respond and sent us lots of pictures. He was very accommodating to some last minute changes and was so good with our little kitties!! Will definitely be using his services again. Highly recommend!”
“100/10 recommend! Freya is so sweet and kind! My boy is not a huge fan of strangers and during his meet and greet with Freya, he took to her immediately! She was super communicative and kept me in the loop about his every visit. Would absolutely book again!”
“Kendra was incredible with our puppy! We just moved here and needed help with him during a particularly busy week. She was so patient with him and gave him some much needed company. We’ll definitely be asking her for help again in the future :)”
About: I’ve been a proud dog mom to my miniature poodle, Polly, since 2019 and have grown up with all kinds of animals — from dogs and cats to small pets. Pet care is a priority in my life. I handmake my dog's food, walk her daily, and always make time for supervised play. My approach is patient, attentive, and loving. Every dog I care for gets the same level of commitment and attention I give my own. Whether it's walking, playtime, or keeping a watchful eye on senior dogs or energetic puppies, I treat every pet like family. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I dedicate my lunch hour to feeding and walking my own dog, so I can check in on your pet mid-day too. After work, I’m available on weekdays after 5 PM and fully available on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. Your pet’s care would fit right into my daily routine alongside Polly. In my home, pets are always supervised and treated like part of the family. I have a safe, fully fenced 1/4 acre yard for playtime and exercise, and my friendly 12 lb miniature poodle is a great companion for visiting pets. Whether I’m caring for pets at my home or yours, safety and attention to detail come first. Walks are always leashed, playtime is interactive and safe, and feeding routines are followed carefully. You can trust me to provide a loving, structured, and secure environment for your furry family member.
“Alannah was a terrific cat sitter - attentive, communicative, and caring to our pets! I appreciated her accommodating a somewhat last minute request and I came home to some happy cats :)”
“Tammy did a great job with my little ones and even though there were some extra things that Tammy had to do (my little Lilly had an injury), Tammy handled the extra tasks beautifully!! She even got my little stubborn king of the castle (Rocky) to go back in his room with the others. Tammy was very punctual and I would highly recommend her!!”
“We left our two kittens (7 and 8 months old) home alone for the first time while we went away on vacation. Kristy came by the house every day to help care for them. She filled out the daily report card and sent photos (and sometimes videos!) so we could see how they were doing. It was such a relief to know they were in good hands, and gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our trip while away from our fur babies. When we returned home it was evident that our kitties had been well taken care of and they seemed content and happy. The condition of their home environment was good too. I would definitely hire Kristy again! She is very thorough and respectful. She even got our one shy cat to come out of his shell.”
About: Extensive experience taking care of both dogs and cats, with hundreds of volunteer hours at dog shelters (primarily Greyhound rescues)! Will give your pet all the attention it needs and ensure their schedule remains as close to home as possible! I am currently off for the summer and will be a full time grad student in the fall. Your pet will get all the attention it needs and will be taken care of as if it were my own! I have a friendly dog and two dog friendly cats (they love other dogs once they get to know them)! We have trails nearby to make daily (or more) walks a breeze! All furniture is pet friendly and cuddles are encouraged!
About: My name is Mariely and I love all animals. I did not grow up with a lot of pets, but I have had the opportunity to volunteer at the animal shelter for both small and larger animals (birds, bunnies, cats, dogs). I was mom to my beautiful golden girl, Lily M, who recently passed. She was an American Staffordshire, and I had the privilege of celebrating her 15th birthday with her. My boy, Scooter, is also an Am Staff, but his age is unknown. Both my dogs were adopted. Majority of my experience is with senior care (administering medication, following allergy requirements, etc). If you would like me to look after your pet overnight, I would prefer to do so at your residence so that your pet does not feel anxious about being in a new environment. I currently live in a second floor apartment, so it is not always convenient to bring in a pet. Also, I can be flexible with my dates and times. Don't hesitate to reach out to me so we can work something out! I do have a full time job in the mornings, so I am only able to walk or check in on your pet after 4pm. However, I am available for overnight care if needed, and am usually free on weekends, unless I am traveling or visiting family. I am able to drop in and keep your fur/scale/feather baby company, feed them, play with them, take them for walks, and whatever else is needed.
