“Kelly was wonderful. I went away for several days and wanted someone to administer a once daily liquid steroid to my cat and someone to also give her affection each day and to check on her water and her automated litter and food containers. Kelly met with me to review everything the day before starting. She was a great communicator throughout, even texting a picture of my cat’s foot to make sure something she saw was normal. I loved the pictures and videos of her playing with my cat as well! Great experience!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Gianna! From the moment we met, I knew my pup was in good hands. They treated my dog like family—sending updates, sharing photos, and making sure every little detail was taken care of. My dog came back happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone I can trust when I have to be away. Reliable, kind, and truly an animal lover through and through. I highly recommend Gianna to anyone who wants peace of mind and a happy, well-cared-for pet. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Megan did a wonderful job! She handled the different needs of each of our cats like a pro. One cat needs twice daily pills, and she was prompt each and every time. She went above and beyond, even taking care of a couple small requests I made. I have no hesitation in recommending Megan to other people and will definitely be hiring her again the next time we need a hand!”
“Katrena is very professional and pleasant! She arrives in a timely manner, is very easy to work with and communicates regularly about my fur babies care! Highly recommend Katrena for your pet sitting needs!”

“Molly did a great job with Felix. He's very shy (I don't think she even got to see him!) But her reports and pictures let us know he was eating and using his litter box.”

“Abby did a great job”
About: For the past 7-8 years, I had my own dogsitting business and I loved it. I stayed at houses all over the city - family, friends and strangers. I work from home more frequently now, and I moved into the city. I work 5 minutes from my home and am able to leave work early or come in late on most days. I will take care of your animal as well as you do, whatever you do, let me know and I will do the same. I also plan on giving them A LOT of love.
“Great job! Definitely recommend her! She was more than accommodating to my crazy pup! Lol Thank you!”
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and have much experience taking pets on walks, playing, and sticking to routines. I’ve helped a post surgery pup recover and also care for a senior dog who needed daily medication. I’m reliable, gentle, and treat every pet like family, always making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care is already part of my daily routine! I care for my sister’s dog every day, so I’m used to walks, playtime, and sticking to a consistent schedule. I’m flexible and can easily fit additional pet care into my week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I stick to their routine, follow your instructions closely, and treat your space with respect. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Caitlin was very experienced and accommodating for our cat that requires medication on a quite specific schedule. She came to visit and practice administering meds to our home prior to the appointed date so that both we and our cat were comfortable. Very professional, wonderful with our pets, and great communication. She also gave our other cat some attention which was not required but appreciated. We hope she is available if we need these services again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, & ages since I was old enough to remember. Friends and family have always relied on me when it comes to taking care of their fur children. I work as a RN full time, doing 3 12 hour shifts a week and I love playing with my own dog during my off time. I have a yard which my dog enjoys playing frisbee in, he’s never leashed outside at home as he listens better than most humans I know. I’m well aware of leash manners too if your dog is better on the leash in new environments.
About: I’m currently a stay at home mom with open availability 7 days a week for drop ins and walks! All of my employees at my former full time job took advantage of the opportunity to bring their dog to work with them. I spent most days at work caring for my employees' fur babies in the office while they repair vehicles. It gives them the chance to spend time with their pups even when they're away from home 8+ hours per day. I have experience with breeds of all sizes, including massive breeds such as great danes. I often tell people "My life revolves around cars, trucks, & dogs." I’m currently a stay at home mom with open availability! I have plenty of free time to spend with your fur babies and give them the love & exercise that they deserve! I currently don’t offer any services in my own home due to my own dogs’ territorial personalities, but I look forward to being welcomed into my clients homes!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs. This includes my own and others for years. I currently have taken on the challenge of training a rescue puppy! I work three days a week with a bakery side hustle so things are pretty flexible! We can definitely make accommodations for your four legged friend! I’m very reliable and trustworthy. I take care of my own pets before myself it seems like sometimes! Your pets come first, no worries there!

Brianna C.
“have known Brianna for a couple of years now, and I can attest to her dedication, compassion, and care for all animals. She is gentle and sweet with both cats and dogs of all sizes (she has had German Shepherds), and has experience with dog grooming and working with dogs who are in new environments — keeping them calm and comfortable and happy. She is also incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and reliable, and I would feel 100% comfortable leaving my cats (and future dog, hopefully!) with her — I wish I lived closer so I could take advantage of how amazing she is!”

“Joey is truly an exceptional pet caregiver. For four years, he has been our absolute lifesaver, consistently taking care of my beagle, Moo, every single day while I'm at work. He doesn't just watch her; he genuinely loves her and understands her unique personality. Even with her most dramatic beagle moments, Joey possesses an incredible calm and patience, always knowing exactly how to soothe her. He's incredibly responsible and has given me complete peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend him!”

Ciara W.
“Ciara is a dedicated animal lover, to say the least. The minute she comes in contact with any animal, she automatically falls in love and gathers the mood of the interaction she can present to them. If your pet allows, she will coo- and cuddle it just like her own. She has two dogs herself and they are the best to watch because they are so well behaved. She will always love any animal like her own, that’s just Ciara! I would highly recommend her house if you’re looking for somewhere to know your animal will be loved and cared for while you’re away!”
