Pam was such an awesome pet sitter for my 2 kitties. I felt rest assured they were both being extremely well cared for!! Updated pictures each visit really put my mind at ease. Very friendly and professional and I will most definitely hope to use Pam again in the future! In fact I’ve already rebooked. Myself, Molly & Franny all say, thank you!! 😊

About: I don’t just “watch” dogs I genuinely care for them like they’re my own. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m especially patient and attentive, which makes me great with puppies (helping reinforce basic training, potty schedules, and leash manners) and senior dogs who may need extra care, slower walks, or just a calm companion. I’m observant so I quickly notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy. My goal is always for you to have peace of mind and for your dog to feel happy, relaxed, and loved 🐾 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine because I’m a stay at home wife, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, so feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship are never rushed or missed. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are in my home or in my client’s home. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their environment.

Anna was such a pleasure to meet and have care for our dogs! She was very communicative during her visits and very reliable! She even had to deal with a parking issue when the city was paving our street, requiring her to park around the block and walk to the house. Thank you very much for your help and I will certainly book with her again!

Annie & Ty provided excellent care for our dog and cat in our home over four days (two visits per day). They carefully followed all our instructions/requests, and the Rover platform made it easy for them to send updates, photos, etc. regarding animal status. Our dog really enjoyed her daily walks -- the most time consuming part of the visits. I sensed a devotion/compassion toward animals from this couple that goes beyond just a business arrangement. Plus, they are very pleasant individuals. It was truly like having trusted family members come over to watch our pets. Annie&Ty will be my first choice next time.

Maria did drop-in visits for our 5 y.o. cat while we were away for a couple weeks, and she was wonderful! She tended to all of our precious girl’s needs (and she can be very needy), and kept her happy and active while we were out. I’d highly recommend Maria for cat-sitting needs.

About: I have many years of experience with all kinds of animals! Friends often ask me, as their go-to, for pet sitting. Multiple dogs at once, dogs and cats together in the same house, etc. I received a liver transplant that saved my life about two years ago, and walking was and has been a great recovery activity for me, especially when dogs are included. :) Interacting with animals and being outside is very important to me to lead a joyful life. I have pretty open availability, especially during the week. I am experienced with crate trained dogs, but I do keep them out the entirety that I am with them and try to provide an engaging interaction with your pets! I understand how important it is to provide your animals with stimulation!

About: I’ve always loved animals, and am particularly fond of dogs. I’ve been dog sitting for a few years now and have come to learn and appreciate dogs much more. I’ve had the opportunity to learn how to interact and bond with different dogs as each type have their own unique personalities. I currently work your standard 9am-5pm job during the week. But I’m available morning and evening times and well as weekends provided it be with a few days a head of time so no scheduling conflicts occur. I currently live in a house with a gated back yard that has plenty of space to play a little bit of catch or just hang around. No children and/or other pets living in the house at the moment, so it would be just me and your furry little friend🐶.

About: I am a former French bulldog owner. He passed away a few months shy of his 3rd bday due to medical reasons. I raised and loved him since he was 8 weeks old. I have great experience with raising and caring for a dog. My hopes is that by being around your dog and loving him/her I will heal my grief. Part of dog loss is the role we lose. I miss the role of walking and caring for my baby. I can help you do that when you can’t. I work three days a week at a hospital and have four days off. I also am available mornings! I can work with your schedule. I live in a safe walkable neighborhood if you’d ever like me to take them on a walk at my house. I can also learn your routes so we can keep your dog on their normal routine.

Nadya is both intelligent and conscientious. It was easy to tell she followed instructions for pet care, including multiple medicines. She also handled problems that wouldn’t normally be a pet sitter’s responsibility: the carbon monoxide detector that died, and kitchen counter cleaning to defeat the ants that tried to move in. Our dogs and kitchen were in great condition when we returned home.

Maria was absolutely incredible! She took care of our shy kitty for 3 days. She went above and beyond in every way. Maria took the time to send us thoughtful updates and gave our cat the care he needed. We came home to a content cat and everything in perfect order. She even brought in our Amazon packages. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind and truly exceptional.

We are very pleased with Krzysztof’s services. He was quick to respond to our very last minute request and accommodated our location that we needed. He was attentive, paid attention to details when visiting and listening to what we needed for Hula. He treated Hula like his own and always communicated with us. He’s amazing with animals and has such a caring spirit. From the moment he came, we could feel comfortable with him. Hula instantly loved him too. We trust our dog’s instincts! We will be booking with Krzysztof again!!
