Karachi took outstanding care of my two pups in my home while we were away. She sent regular updates with adorable pics and videos, which put my mind at ease that all was well. One of my dogs was getting over an ear infection and she dutifully administered his meds and ear wash. Not only did we return home to happy dogs, but Karachi left the house spotlessly clean. We will definitely plan to book again with Karachi and would recommend her completely!

Kymberlee is wonderful and was so attentive with our two big dogs and two cats. We received updates and silly photos of the animals. Even though we had to change plans due to the snowstorm, she stayed flexible and kept us updated about everything. We would highly recommend her!

Lauren was very communicative, left the apartment extremely clean, followed instructions, and took good care of our dog. When our trip got extended by a few hours, Lauren was very understanding and accommodating of staying with our dog a bit longer to close the gap. My neighbor also reached out saying that she saw Lauren with our dog in the hallway of our building and that she was doing a great job with her. Overall, we would definitely hire Lauren again!

About: From my childhood days of caring for my beloved dogs Shadow and Mittens (and Charlie the cat) to my more recent role as dog foster for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and Laila's Legacy, I love caring for man's best friend. I am the guy at the party who would rather hang out with pets than people and in our circle of friends, I am the designated dog sitter and walker whenever the need arises. I work from home, so I have the flexibility during the week to drop in for visits and dog walking. My work schedule typically allows for me to adapt to what your schedule calls for. I am open to overnight stays on a case by case basis. Please send me a message with details and I'll figure out if I am available. I have a good deal of experience walking dogs, including reactive dogs. Taking care of foster dogs, often fresh from shelters, I've grown used to handling dogs with various behavioral issues and fears, keeping them away from triggers.

We so enjoyed having Miaki stay with Goose and Roo while we were out of town. Miaki is very communicative and thorough - we appreciated that she came by to meet the dogs beforehand and proactively asked questions to ensure that the dogs would be well taken care of in our absence. Miaki sent daily updates throughout our trip, and we can home to very happy dogs. We look forward to Miaki’s next visit and are sure our dogs will be excited to see her too.

I have a husky that is very outgoing but has a bad case of separation anxiety and Katie knew exactly how to handle it during our house sitting! She was great at depicting his personality and handling him in a situation where a bunch of kids ran up to him to say hi. She kept my place spotless and kept me updated with the perfect amount of cute pictures of my pup! 10/10 would recommend!
