“Tala was amazing! She picked up our last minute booking and was very communicative. My shy boy took to her right away which says a lot. She is thorough and takes pride in her work! Thank you Tala for everything!!”
“Melissa was so great to work with and I can’t wait for her to stop by to see our pup Daisy again! She came over to meet Daisy before our first drop-in and it was an instant hit. I felt so comfortable before, during, and after the visit with all of Melissa’s great questions and update, and I know Daisy loved having someone come shower her with affection when I was out for a long day. We’ll definitely ask Melissa to come back again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for about 5 years and my love for them has not changed whatsoever. I’m always excited to meet new friends especially when they feel the same way I always care for my cat everyday and sometimes my cousin’s dog if I go to her apartment next door. Taking care of pets is important for me because they are always there for you when you need them most I have a fence in my house to keep any pet from danger and if an animal is not friendly with others my cat has his own room.
“Carissa is super sweet and took such great care of my pups! She was incredibly communicative and sent wonderful updates so I was never worried while I was away. Thank you Carissa!”

“Sydney is the best! I'm such a worrying dog-mom, and she could not have been more perfect. She was highly communicative with me and was very easy to get in touch with. I also love that she is a vet tech. That put my mind at ease the whole time we were away. If she noticed small changes in my dog's behavior she would take precautions and monitored him like a pro. Even my neighbor commented on how wonderful she was and how our dog just fell in love with her. I will use Sydney every time we travel in the future!”

“Lizbeth was wonderful with my two kitties. I have a shy one and an outgoing one, and she worked on making both comfortable with treats, toys, and by talking to them.

I'll definitely be working with her again.”
“5 Stars – The Best Pet Sitter We’ve Had! We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Marisol was absolutely amazing with both our cat Gin and dog Makii during her house drop-in visits. From the moment she met them, it was clear she had a genuine love for animals, our usually shy cat even came right up to her, which never happens! She was super attentive, gave both pets plenty of love and playtime, and kept everything incredibly clean and tidy. We came home to happy pets and a spotless home, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. If you’re looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and truly great with animals, Marisol is the one. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
