Coral was very patient and generous to put in more time than the 30 minutes that we booked, as our dog was very timid for this first visit!

Elena always takes excellent care of Kitten! This time I had a last minute cancellation and she was able to step in for a few days which was an enormous relief. She's so easy to communicate with, and fantastic at what she does. Truly grateful that my cat had such great care. :)

So wonderful to have met Lynne! She was great with my anxious dogs and I appreciated that she did the meet and greet and got to know them ahead of time! They currently can't be at home alone and so it was great peace of mind to be able to leave them with her. We'll definitely be booking again. Thank you Lynne!

Stacy was a fantastic cat sitter! She took excellent care of our special needs kitty, who needs multiple pills and special food. I could tell from photos that our cat became quite comfortable with her and got plenty of play and attention while we were away. Stacy was also very neat and responsive, which I really appreciated. We would absolutely book with her again in the future!

Nathan was fantastic! I was concerned because my dog has some separation anxiety and we weren’t sure how she would do, but Nathan’s visits, updates and photos truly put me at ease. He took her to hang out with some of his regular dogs he works with and she did great and had fun. I will DEFINITELY be reaching out to Nathan again in the future and I highly recommend him to anyone else in the area. Thank you, Nathan!

About: I love spending time with and taking care of my friends’ pets whenever possible! I’ve been trusted to cat sit (drop ins with Benji or Tiki for a couple of days at a time) and dog sit (cared for little Teddy at my apartment for two weeks while his parents were away) for my friend’s furry little ones on several occasions. While I love having fun with the animals in my care, I will always prioritize their safety when I am with them. In addition to loving my friends’ pets, I spent a year nannying for families with dogs whose care I was entrusted with. I looked after (picked up from day care, walked, and fed) two golden retrievers (Kody and Bella) as well as 8 month old Vizla puppy, Yofi! Spending time with them was the highlight of my days and I can’t wait to have a pup in my own home. I’m a student and available early mornings, evenings, and weekends! I also have time during the day to drop in on your pet or take them out for a walk! I’m a student full-time but I have some time before, between, and after classes every day! My weekends are pretty free, they just require a little bit of extra planning to make adequate time for your pet. I will always follow your rules/routines while your pet is in my care, whether it is in my own home or at yours. I will always treat your pet the way I would want mine to be treated. I will also communicate as frequently/infrequently as you’d like, I make it a habit to keep pet owners up to date with our activities!

Eleanor is great! Lister needed some drop in visits and warmed up to her pretty quick. She even took him for a walk around the block and was quite intuitive about when Lister was in a mood to walk and when not. Great communication! Would definitely book again

Weiwei took excellent care of our three cats. She was reliable and easy to coordinate with, and every visit she would send a ton of photos of her playing with the cats. It was very nice getting to see those photos while we were away. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat.
