Adrienne is the best! She was superb with our young puppy, communicated really well, was very flexible, and super friendly. She was a lifesaver when we needed last-minute care for our puppy and gave me so much peace of mind. She also sent many great pictures and videos. I would definitely ask her again!

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life including fish, rodents, small birds, and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have experience with senior dogs, and anxious pups. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, medication, cuddles, and supervision. I have a low energy sweet senior pup who loves other dogs, and will begrudgingly share the couch with others. I also have a small parrot who generally minds his own business, but will be happy to let your pet know they’re a “pretty birdy”. My house is always stocked with disposable potty pads, reusable chucks, and all the pet safe enzyme cleaner anyone could need to clean up after old friends who have incontinence issues. There are throw rugs for comfort and traction, and a number of orthopedic beds perfect for pets with mobility issues who need a rest. You can bring your pets favorite treats with, and know that they also have access to a variety of different high quality easy to chew treats. Pets have access to a fenced in backyard with an outdoor patio for enjoying some fun in the sun on the outdoor sectional. They can enjoy walks in a quiet part of the neighborhood. I even have a stroller for pets under 20lbs.

Katie dropped in for almost a week to take care of my dog and my boyfriends cat and she was incredible. Her summaries every visit, accompanied by photos and videos, were thorough and helped me not feel anxious about the animals while away. I’m excited to use her again in the future! Thanks for being the best Katie!!!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Ranging from high energy boxers to labs, indoor and outdoor, you name it. I unfortunately don’t now because of living in the city and no pet policies. I’ve cat and dog sat for friends, family, and even professors in college, and now I want to officially! I love seeing funny requests like ‘needs a gourmet meal prepared (theatrics of course but I’d cook lol) or they won’t eat.’ Big fan of the cheese tax, because me too, and cats who are bread bakers. I love pets of any kind and size (even big dogs, snakes, etc) right when I meet them. I can be patient if they’re not a fan at first! I’d love to be able to help others and animals who have working parents, or even parents who just want to have fun and need some help. My daily and weekly schedule are pretty flexible! I work from home most days aside from Sunday really. I tend to have gaps during the day and work mostly in the afternoon and evening! I do live in the city and don’t mind boarding pets but I also want them to have space to roam so I rather come to you! I’m more than happy to take pets outside, to parks, on walks, or play. I know a lot of pets like consistency so I can prioritize working with you to find a set schedule.

Danielle did an excellent job taking care of my six foster cats while I was out of town. Danielle was extremely responsive and dependable and that really set my mind at ease. It is hard for me to leave them as some often require socialization and I can’t afford to lose any progress. Danielle spent quality time as requested and documented the progress each day. It was so exciting to get to the hotel every evening to unwind and read the progress updates and see her pictures.

Jackie was great with our pups! We’ve recently had a mobility issue with our one dog but she was understanding and was able to provide her medicine without any issues. She took our other pup out for a little walk each time in addition to taking them both outside for breaks. I could easily see how much fun our pups had with Jackie in the photos that she sent over!

Nicole was amazing. My dog was alone for the night while I was in the hospital. She visited, walked, and feed him. She even cleaned up two accidents in the house. I was worried I'd have a hard time finding someone who'd be willing to check on 90lb nervous dobie, and rightly so, I had two others cancel. Natalie is amazing.

Abigayle was great doing drop in visits with our dog. He is normally anxious and takes a while to warm up to new people but it didn’t take long at all with Abigayle. She is very punctual and great with communication. Your pet will be well cared for.

Jen took such great care of our cats! I appreciated her thoroughness and attention to detail. I also loved reading the visit summaries and seeing the pictures. I loved seeing how quickly our cats warmed up to her - amazing given that we have one especially shy cat! I highly recommend Jen!
