We got Meredith's help with walking our dog Chance and had a great experience with her. We asked if she could help with dog sitting at our house for a few days. She was responsive and thoughtful and we trust her with Chance!

Sam was wonderful with my shy, anxious pup. Sam took it slow and Fern really warmed up to her. I got a very detailed report from Sam at the end of the weekend. I came home to a happy pup & a spotless home.

Tam took great care of our elderly shih tzu, including giving her eye drops and other meds multiple times a day. She took lots of photos and kept us fully informed of our dog's activities and well-being. She left our house clean and well cared for, and followed our care instructions (for both house and dog) carefully. Highly recommended!!

Brooke stayed with our cat Benny for 4 nights. I cannot recommend her highly enough! She was patient with our shy boy and by the end of their time together, they were great buds! Brooke was so kind and communicative. I would book her again in a heartbeat.

My family could not have asked for a better person than Heaven to stay and care for our dog. Heaven brought us peace of mind while we were away as she is extremely professional, kind, caring, responsible and attentive. I received updates and pictures and our house looked untouched when we returned home. If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars, I would!

Mary was great with our 7 month old cockapoo, Brew. He’s full of energy in the morning and she did great taking him on lots of long walks and also spending time hanging out at the house. She also left the house in very very clean/tidy condition which was so nice of her. Would definitely recommend.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine joy and care I bring into every pet’s life. I’m a bubbly, cheerful person with a big heart for animals, and I truly love getting to know each pet as an individual. I’m very attentive to their specific needs, routines, and personalities, so they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can fully trust me to care for your pet as if they were my own family. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have also volunteered at animal shelters, where I worked with animals of all kinds of personalities — playful, energetic, shy, anxious, and senior pets. Those experiences taught me patience, adaptability, and how important it is to meet animals where they are. I’ve genuinely grown to love every single animal I’ve cared for. I pride myself on being reliable, detail-oriented, and compassionate, whether that means sticking to routines, giving extra cuddles, providing enrichment and playtime, or offering calm companionship. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy, secure, and loved — and to give you total peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work and study from home. This allows me to be very flexible and available throughout the day to check in on pets, spend quality time with them, and give them the attention they deserve. I’m able to plan my schedule around their needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just quiet companionship. Because I’m home most of the time, I can be very attentive and responsive — I’m not rushing in and out or leaving pets alone for long periods. I truly enjoy building time into my day to play, cuddle, and care for animals, and I always make sure their routines are followed closely. Providing consistent, loving care is something I take seriously, and having this flexibility allows me to care for pets to the fullest extent and give pet parents peace of mind. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are respect, trust, and consistency. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the pet parent, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, routines, and any special preferences their pet may have. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I am extremely respectful of my clients’ homes, space, and privacy, and I treat every home as if it were my own. When meeting pets for the first time, I always enter calmly and gently so they don’t feel startled or overwhelmed. I take time to let each pet warm up to me at their own pace and focus on building a healthy, loving bond based on trust. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. By combining clear communication, attention to detail, and lots of love, I ensure pets receive the highest level of care and pet parents feel completely at ease.

Miranda was great! She watched them in our home while we were gone for the day. We scheduled a meet and greet beforehand which was good so the dogs could get to know her. Our dogs can be reactive sometimes so she was very attentive to their behavior and reported no major issues. She seems comfortable with all kinds of dogs since she works in a vet clinic. Would book again!

Georgia was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats, who seemed to warm up to her so quickly. We got so so many photos and updates which we absolutely loved, she was so attentive letting us know how they were doing and if there was anything she noticed out of the ordinary. And to top it off, when our care fell through for the second half of our trip, Georgia was able to help out with a last minute booking and that was so reassuring to us. I would 100% recommend booking Georgia for your pets, they will be LOVED and cared for!!
