“Another 5 star review for Cristina! My cat was happy and well taken care of. My trip was filled with report cards full of sweet messages and cute pictures! I will continue to rebook with Cristina!”
“Jilian took care of my 2 year old kitty cat while I was away for 3 days. She kept me up to date and sent lots of pics! She’s also very responsive and I can tell that she cares a lot about the fur babies and her job. I will definitely be booking Jilian again!”
“Our two dogs love Veronica. She sent us pics and went above, beyond replacing the batteries in our lock when it was not operating to lock the door at the end of her drop in. We are so grateful to have her as a caregiver when we can’t be there.”
“Josh was great - we were away for the day and came home to our doggos content and happy! He took good care of them in the heat - we are glad he paid such good attention to what they needed. Thank you!!”
“Vanessa was fantastic with my 90lb pitbull. I was able to communicate clearly with her and she was very prompt with addressing any issues. I’m sure my pup will love to see her again. I will absolutely use her services in the future. Thank you, Vanessa.”

About: — First time booking with me? Use this code for $20 off your first appointment! LEANDW09173 — Being raised with dogs, cats, and other various kinds of animals since I was 6 years old, I’m not a stranger to small (or even big!) feet following me around the house. From love and snuggles after a long day, to laughing at zoomie episodes, my family has built our lives around our animals. And I would love to add your pet into my happy story. Rest assured, you can leave your fur-baby with me for peace of mind, and can expect them to be loved, cared for, snuggled, and protected as you would do. I have experience with energetic, senior, and pups with allergies and/or meds. I start grad school in the fall, so I have ample free time 5-6 days a week to provide attention and care for your furbaby. I am an avid communicator and will be making sure I follow all necessary instructions left by you (feeding needs, medical needs, etc.). If I’m not sure on something, I’ll always communicate to make sure to provide the best service to your and your baby.
About: I have been an owner of my dog, Scout for 13 years. Over those 13 years, I have learned how to care for animals. I have volunteered for the humane society for the past 5 years as well! I am currently working during the mornings of each weekend so I am pretty flexible during the weekdays. I can care for your pet during any hour of the day during the week! I feed, walk, and shower my dog with attention each day. I will treat your pet the same way mine would want to be treated.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals big and small furry or reptilian! I’m comfortable with different energy levels and sizes and willing to put in the work to get to know your pet and make sure they are comfortable! I work from home with very flexible hours so I can accommodate many different schedules during business hours and throughout the rest of the day I live in an apartment so will not be caring for pets in my home, but I am very careful and thorough with all pet care instructions.
About: I’ve grew up with dogs since I was 2 years old and I’ve always been attached to them. Any family member who had a dog, I’d always be over and take them on walks, feed and bathe them..it was always just an automatic reaction for me. In middle school, my cousin and I raised money by coming up with a dog walking job. We use to make signs after school and post them and/or walk with them. We got about 2 pet owners. Just recently, I was heading to work and found an oversized bull dog walking in the middle street and people trying to make her get out of it. I immediately stopped my car and wouldn’t leave until I got her in my car and my spouse and I went and got her food. My manager ended up taking her to the animal rescue. So, dogs have always been apart of my life! I currently work part time so I’ll be available majority of the time to care for your pet needs with no problem! I also have a 16 month old son so certain hours will be his nap time but I will give details when booked. I have two small fur babies and a toddler that will keep your pet company, we have a yard where exercise and fresh air will be guaranteed. If needed your pet can be crated at ur proposal.
