“Ivy did a wonderful job at caring for our puppy, Kuma, while we were away! Ivy was very attentive to our puppy and asked great questions before to get a good sense of his needs. I really enjoyed getting pictures of Kuma throughout his time with Ivy. I have a very anxious dog and Ivy was super patient with Kuma until he warmed up to her. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!!”


“Ashanti took amazing care of both my home and dogs while I was away. She agreed to meet beforehand in person to get acquainted with my two dogs. She was super communicative before and during the booking to ensure no details were missed. When I got home, my place was spotless and my dogs were happy, and well taken care of. Ashanti is trustworthy and kind. I would highly recommend her.”


“This is the first time we have used Rover and we highly recommend choosing Lucy to watch your pet! She is a great communicator, sending updates by photos and videos. Through her messages we were able to see how attentive and caring she was, which in turn allowed us to know he was in good hands. Lucy exercised our pet several times a day and even took him to the dog park to play with others. Additionally, she took care of our home and kept it in pristine condition. We have only positive things to say about Lucy. She is a pet sitter that will go above and beyond to care for your pet!”



“Jada is absolutely wonderful! We just came home to the most relaxed and happy kitty after a few days out of town and couldn't be more pleased with her work. She is prompt, communicative, kind, and was just so great with our best guy. This was our first booking with Jada and we will definitely be contacting her again. Highly recommend for excellent cat care!”

“Rachelle was an amazing cat sitter! She sent us regular pictures and updates which we loved, and when we came home after being away for a few days our apartment looked exactly as we left it. She will definitely be our go-to cat sitter going forward :)”

“Sophia was a great pet sitter. She was prompt, communicative, and gave us regular updates throughout her stay with our pup. We were glad to have found her to watch our dog for the day!”


“Lenford made me feel comfortable that Charlie was in good hands while I was away! He sent many pictures in which Charlie looked like he was having a blast. Lenford also worked with me when my flight was delayed until the middle of the night and stayed with Charlie until we were sure I would be getting home soon.”


“Nina did an amazing job dogsitting my 12lb chihuahua mix rescue dog, Bernie! Can’t recommend her enough. Bern gets very anxious when I leave for a trip and Nina went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe, comfortable, and had a great time for the 8 days I was gone. (She also came by for a meet & greet ahead of the trip which helped immensely!) Nina kept me updated with multiple daily texts/photos, took Bern on multiple long daily walks, and was so loving that Bern was sad to see her go by the end. She made my trip stress-free knowing Bern was in great hands and took great care of my apartment during her stay as well. Will definitely be booking Nina again in the future!”



“Celine is the best. She came and met our little guy a week before hand. She made sure to arrange and align with us on everything beforehand. She kept in constant contact with us, sharing pictures, checking in, asking questions. And she left everything perfectly in order, with our pup smiling and happy to greet us when we got home. Like I said. The best.”


“Another great experience booking with Jaidi! We came home to a very happy dog and a very clean house. It is so nice to know that while we are away our dog is in good hands. Can’t recommend Jaidi highly enough!”


“Alex took great care of my dog Rooh! My dog is quite shy but Alex took note of behavioral improvements over the course of a few days and opened her up. She followed instructions provided very well and asked questions whenever necessary. She was great with communication and providing regular updates to keep me up to speed with how Rooh was doing. Would definitely recommend Alex as a dog sitter and would also like to book her again in the future! :)”


“Jana was amazing! Tahini felt so safe and comfortable with her (and he doesn’t always trust new people!) Jana sent me many photos and videos which really put me at ease while I was traveling. I look forward to hiring her again!”


“Greg house sat/dog sat for us when we left on a 4 day trip and he took such good care of our dog! He gave nightly updates and was more than amenable to our needs! I will be booking with Greg from here on out.”

About: My lifelong passion for animals, coupled with extensive hands on experience, truly sets me apart. I've been fortunate to grow up alongside a diverse menagerie of beloved companions. This isn't just casual acquaintance; I've had the privilege of raising them from infancy through their cherished senior years. This unique background has given me an unparalleled understanding of the distinct needs and nuanced care required at every stage of an animal's life. I offer specialized care that caters to a wide range of needs: Puppy Training: My experience with young animals allows me to confidently handle puppy training, focusing on positive reinforcement and consistent routines to help them develop into well-behaved companions. Senior Care: I deeply understand the specific requirements of elderly pets, including administering medications, managing mobility challenges, and providing the gentle, patient attention they deserve in their golden years. My background ensures I can offer comfort and dignity during their later stages of life. Diverse Animal Experience: Beyond typical pets, my comfort and familiarity with a variety of animals, meaning I can adapt my care to your unique pet family. I'm a genuine animal lover who believes pets are so much more than just animals they're cherished family members who enrich our lives with unconditional love. It's a profound connection built on trust and mutual affection, and I am dedicated to reciprocating that love with the highest standard of care, ensuring your beloved companion feels safe, happy, and truly cherished while you're away. Since I work from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. This setup allows me to dedicate ample, consistent time to both your beloved fur-child and my very own, ensuring they receive constant attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. My flexible schedule means I can adapt to your pet's specific needs, whether it's midday walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or just some extra cuddle time. They'll never feel alone or neglected, as I'm always present to provide the care and supervision they deserve. This consistent presence is a huge advantage, allowing for a stress-free and happy experience for your pet while they're with me. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and respectful environment for your pet. When caring for pets in my home, they'll enjoy a dedicated space with their own bed, toys, and supplies, ensuring they feel welcomed and secure. In your home, I diligently follow all instructions, maintaining your routines and ensuring I leave your space tidy and respected. To provide the best possible care, I always gather detailed information beforehand about your pet's specific behaviors, health conditions (like allergies or medical needs), triggers (such as loud noises), favorite activities, and feeding schedules. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to make them feel safe, happy, and truly at home.
