I could not say enough wonderful things about Neshie. We were able to enjoy our trip to the fullest knowing our fur babies were in good hands. She sent wonderful updates and was so kind. We'll definitely be using her again.

About: I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for them. I am patient, attentive, and responsible with feeding, walks, routines, playtime, and giving pets affection and attention based on their personality and comfort level. I understand that every pet is different and try to help them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for caged birds at home, so I am especially mindful about safety and supervision around animals. I currently have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to give pets attention, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I try to keep pets comfortable and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment for pets. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and each pet’s comfort level and personality.

About: I'm a cat sitter with tons of experience helping stressed - out cats settle in after a move. No matter what the cat is, I can connect with them. Whether they’re super independent and like their space or total lovebugs who want all the cuddles and playtime, I vibe with all kinds of cat personalities. I work from home, so I’m around most of the time and can easily keep an eye on my little visitor, take care of his needs, and give him attention whenever he needs it. I live on the third floor in a spacious apartment with secure, mesh-covered windows — totally safe for cats. They can jump around without risking breaking anything or hurting themselves. I also don’t keep available any plants that could be toxic if they decide to chew on them.

Jen is the absolute best. We’ve booked her several times now to look after our cat, and she is totally reliable and on-the-ball. She goes above and beyond in keeping out cat company and making sure she feels comfortable and secure when we’re away. If Jen’s taking care of her, our cat never seems out of sorts when we get back from a trip. Couldn’t recommend Jen more highly!

Fatime was an absolute gem for the first day we had to leave our new puppy home alone! She shared information throughout each session and worked with us to make sure Molly was happy, fed, taken out, played with and feeling loved. We will be 100% continuing to use Fatime, she made us feel so comfortable right from the first morning session. She shared pictures and updates, while asking questions to ensure Molly received the best care. Highly recommend!!! Thank you Fatime!

About: I have a dog of my own, so I’m very familiar with the daily routine (walks, feeding, and being stared at until I give treats). I’ve also cared for other people’s dogs, so I’m used to different personalities, from super energetic to “I will not move unless bribed.” I’m reliable, patient, and pay attention to the little things that keep dogs happy and comfortable. I treat every dog like my own (yes, that includes talking to them like they’re people). 🐶 I have a flexible schedule and am able to consistently make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your dog, and I’m happy to adjust to their routine. Whether your dog needs regular exercise, quick check-ins, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and not rushed. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every dog I care for. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to walk routines and any special needs. I stay attentive during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure your dog feels secure and relaxed. I treat every home with respect and every dog like my own.
