1. Susan C.
“Susan was kind and professional. My dogs were loved as much as I love them and my home was well looked after and in better condition then I left it when we came home. Susan texted me with photos and updates each day I was away and kept my mind at ease. One of my dogs was on a prescription medication - Susan gave each medication with ease and confidence at times required daily. There was even a hot meal and desert waiting for us after our long drive home. I would recommend Susan to anyone who wants their dogs loved as much as they do while they are away. I am so happy I found her and will be using her over and over in the future.”

4. Rayvnne F.
“My partner and I went away to France for a week and a half. Robyn stayed in our home to take care of our dog Hugo. She was absolutely amazing! Communicative, thoughtful, and consistent. She gave us daily updates with photos and made sure our guy received lots of love and attention. She respected the instructions we had left and went above and beyond by tidying our place before we got home. We will certainly use her services again, and we highly recommend her!”

9. Zoe S.
“Zoe was fantassticccc !!! My dogs are not the easiest to manage at times and so we were very hesitant on having someone watch them. Zoe reassured me that was will be well and it was. She kept me updated and provided Ej and Cornelius the same routine we do with them. The were well behaved with her and they were supper comfortable with her aswell. Im so happy i have someone to rely on with our pups from here on out. I look forward to having Zoe back to watch them. Thank you Zoe 💕”
10. Annie K.
“Annie took great care of our home and our 2 dogs (still puppies at spirit). We got several photos of them having fun and relaxing while we were gone. They were still in their routines when we got home and they were happy and excited to see us. They look very well cared for and reported had treated Annie well also. Thanks Annie. This made our travel (1 week) much easier with peace of mind that our home and pets were being cared for.”

About: I'm not as new to professional pet caring now, but I'm constantly learning and I have respect and love for animals. I have cared for pet dog and cat from puppy to old age and I am always learning from experts on how to handle most situations that will arise. I am able to be extremely active and engaging with animals to ensure they are properly stimulated and socialized. I take my job very seriously as a guardian of a pet myself I know that they are as much family as pet. I will always take special care to listen to a pet's guardian's advice on how to care for their pet so that they are properly taken care of as they deserve and expect to be treated. I’m currently self employed and mainly work at night when my dogs are asleep. During the day I am free to look after not only my dogs but also other people’s pets as well. When I’m not working I’m often taking care of my dog’s needs. I follow instructions from pet owners and ask about their pet to find out what kind of care they need. Every dog has its own personality and needs and I do the best to treat them as their owner would treat them so their stay is as comfortable as possible.
12. Amanda M.
“Amanda came as advertised. Just wonderful!! Frida was a happy camper and Claudia and I believe she might still be missing her… Maybe she’s a little too good😁 We would recommend her in a flash (unless they want her when we do.)”
13. Nouman B.
“Nouman was very accommodating with everything I asked of him. Our boys were happy and well taken care of. Shaw is not one to go and meet new people but he went right up to Nouman and was pretty comfortable right away which was amazing for us. Dominic was in heaven getting all the love and affection from Nouman. Your babies will be in good hands.”
14. Vanessa K.

16. Orely N.
About: I have been gentle, caring, and loving with animals from a young age. My first ever pet was a guinea pig, I had two of them. From ages 8-12, and took care of them myself. I would change their litter, feed them, play with them, and of course make sure they were healthy and happy. Now I’m a dog owner and I've mostly taken care of family members dogs and cats for periods of times while they were out of town. Im a student with lots of free time. I am available 6 a.m.-10 p.m. to walk your dogs, and check up on your fur babies! (but if you have any other requests out of that time frame don't hesitate to reach out) I am not offering services in my home at this time. The only services I am offering in home is overnight pet sitting that would take place at the clients home. I respect boundaries and only follow the instructions given to by owner. I will need emergency numbers and instructions on what to do in case of emergency
