“Overall, Amanda was great. Very sweet and definitely a lover of all animals. She did great at reducing our anxiety about leaving the fur babies alone while out of town. Would book her again in future.”
“Bridget was so good with my old, crabby dog. She was very quick to respond to my questions and communicating with me. She sent lots of pictures on each of her visits,which put me at ease, knowing my dog was doing so well with her. I would highly recommend having her watch pets for anyone who needs a pet sitter. She was awesome!”
“Sara has been so helpful, communicative and wonderful! She was extra patient with our grumpy old man =) We highly recommend Sara for your pet sitting or drop in needs! Can’t wait to have her back in the future. Thanks Sara!”
About: Hi, I’m Shaquia, the heart behind Quia’s Furry Friends! With nearly 20 years of experience caring for pets of all breeds and sizes, I bring love, attention, and reliability to every furry friend I meet. While I don’t have pets of my own, my parents’ pups, Rascal and Chauncey, often visit me—they call my place their “vacation home”! From vacations and new babies to surgeries and life changes, I’ve been a trusted caregiver for friends and family, handling everything from walks and baths to vet visits and playtime. Whether your pet needs extra love while you’re away or a helping hand for daily care, I’m here to make their tail wag and your life easier. Let me be part of your furry family’s journey! I have a hybrid and flexible schedule, so there are days I may be away for a few hours. But no worries, your furry friend will get plenty of attention and care! I love walking and enjoying nature daily, and your pet is welcome to join me for exercise and fresh air. Our days will include a consistent potty/play schedule (3-4 times daily) tailored to their needs, starting with a morning walk, followed by meals, playtime, and plenty of love. I’m here to ensure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! Your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for with plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention. My gated apartment community is pet-friendly, featuring parks and a pup gym for fun outdoor activities. Inside my home, potty-trained pets are free to roam, while non-potty-trained pets can roam or be caged with a structured potty schedule to help with training. I use positive reinforcement with treats (parent-approved) to encourage good habits. Your furbaby’s happiness is my priority!
“Camy is fantastic! She takes such good care of my Emi and has quickly become a trusted help to my family. She has made adding a puppy to our home so enjoyable and far more stress-free.”
“Mr Mauricio was absolutely wonderful with my 12-year-old emotional support animal, chipper Jones. He even did some light food prep for chipper since he has a sensitive diet. I cannot recommend him more and will definitely be reaching out in the future for future pet sitting needs. Thank you so much Mauricio!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 and have experience with all sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to big breeds like German Shepherds and Presa Canarios. I’m confident handling high-energy pups, gentle with seniors, and patient with shy or stubborn personalities. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, or meds, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pup like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved! 🐾 Mondays & Wednesdays: Evenings after 7 PM 🐾 Tuesdays & Thursdays: Early mornings 🐾 Fridays: Currently unavailable (subject to change) 🐾 Saturdays: Evenings after 5 PM 🐾 Sundays: Available all day I’m happy to work with your schedule when I can, so feel free to reach out with any questions! While I don’t currently offer overnight boarding, I do have a fenced-in backyard where my dogs love to run and play—it’s a great space for safe outdoor time! As for my cat, she’s not a fan of the outdoors, but I still make sure she gets enrichment and movement by taking her on walks when she’s in the mood. I’m all about giving pets what they need to feel happy, safe, and comfortable.
“Bethany did such an amazing job! She was able to take our request last minute when our other sitter fell through and literally saved my birthday weekend. Her notes were thorough and I knew our babies were being well taken care of. 10/10 recommend!”
“This is the third time Sara has looked after Aethel and as usual, she was amazing. She was incredibly communicative, and I knew my cat was in safe and responsible hands! Can’t recommend her more highly.”
About: I've worked at a pet daycare for three years now! I absolute love spending the majority of my time working with animals. I've also taken care of pets outside of work! I have two dogs and a cat of my own & I have been asked by family and friends to look after their furry family members. I hope I can take care of your furry friends next! I have school on Tuesday's and Thursdays & work Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday so I will be available on Thursdays and Sundays from 12pm-8pm.

About: The last 20 years I haven’t gone without a dog or cat in my home. I wouldn’t imagine one without! I have my babygirl German named Maggie and my old man kitty named Frank! These 2 are my world.
