About: Over the years, since I was 12 I have personally owned two cats who I’ve treated as my babies. My babies I have now, Johnny and Mary, are my angels. I’ve gone to many vet appointments, I am experienced in giving medication and I am always gentle. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. My time is very open, I’ve been looking for a job for a while now especially one to do with animals! Nothing makes me happier than coming home to see my baby, so I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them lots of extra love!! Johnny and Mary are both indoor cats. I have plenty of toys around for them and let them relax when they like. I think it’s always a good idea to have water out for them so they are always hydrated. :) I have no problem taking your fur baby to the dog park or wherever you please.
“Nicole was absolutely amazing! We had a meet and greet with her which gave us a lot of confidence in her. We instantly knew we could trust her. She was very accommodating as we needed to leave very early so she came the day before to get instructions and house keys. During our time away she sent us lots of updates and when we came home we had a happy little dog and a spotless home. Aside from all that Nicole is just a great person. Quite literally there is nothing I can fault her on. I strongly recommend her.”

“I don’t think I’m gonna ever had a better babysitter/nanny then Kaitlin. She left her synopsis of the day every day and did so much with my two dogs. They are in such great shape and more polite and Kaitlin came. I am so very happy with everything that Kaitlin did, her dedication was 100%”

“Hoangtram took very good care of our two dogs and our home while we were away. She is clearly an animal lover and our dogs immediately warmed up to her. We appreciated the regular updates and pictures. We will definitely book again!”

“Jay was prompt in their responses and they left our worried minds at ease. It was great to know that they had so much knowledge about animals, I had no concerns leaving our 3 cats in their care. They gave us updates and photos while we were away. I would recommend Jay without hesitation and will be using their services again in the future!”
About: I absolutely love dogs and my two golden retrievers are my whole world. Taking care of them has taught me how important patience, routine, and attention are, and I treat every dog I sit with the same way — like part of my family. I make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and all the little extras that make them feel happy and loved. Every dog is different, and I enjoy learning their quirks and making sure they feel safe, cared for, and completely spoiled while I’m with them. I love dogs and my two golden retrievers are a huge part of my life, so caring for pups fits seamlessly into my day-to-day. I make sure they get walks, playtime, and cuddles without rushing — just like I do with my own dogs. I’m happy to work around schedules, provide consistent care, and make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while I’m with them. Pets aren’t just a job for me; they’re part of my daily life, and I treat every furry friend with the same attention and care I give my own. My home is extremely dog friendly and my dogs are used to other dogs being in the home. We live on a quiet street and have a huge yard for them to run. We also live right next to a beautiful walking trail that I use daily.
About: Hello there! :) I'm a freelance photographer who works from home, living in my spacious apartment with my partner and roommate. I am a huge dog and animal lover, my parents have two beautiful huskies (aka my siblings) and for two years I lived with my cousin and I helped take care of her adorable golden retriever while she was working as a nurse. I would take the dog out for walks a few times a day, always including one long walk to the park or hike, to make sure he had plenty of time to run around and play fetch or go for a swim. I would also practice his commands with him, to make sure that I was reinforcing what my cousin was working on with him at the time. They've since moved away, so I really miss having a dog around! Outdoor-time and exercise is very important to me so I can take your pets for lots of walks and make sure to give them even more attention and playtime while we're at home. We have a cat, Buttons, who we adopted recently. She can be grumpy so we keep her completely separated from the dogs that we have staying with us. Looking forward to meeting you!! I currently work as a photographer, so I'm mostly at home, working and editing photos with a couple of photoshoots throughout the week. I have a very flexible schedule, and plently of time for dog walk breaks throughout the day! I live with my partner and lovely roommate in a spacious apartment with a huge rooftop patio, just a two minute walk away from a public park, and a dog park. I will always respect your rules if I am a guest in your home.
“Simply amazing! My pets loved Mekeena and she was so informative, keeping me up to date on how the week was going while she took care of my 4 fur babies. 2 dogs and 2 cats. Mekeena truly went above and beyond from the start. She took the time to get to know the pets and gather any and all information relative to providing the best care while I was away. I instantly was ready to book her again for any pet sitting needs for the future! I would definitely recommend her and rebook!”
