Already booked Robyn for the next trip!”

“Rebecca watched my dos and cats for two nights. She was friendly and caring for the animals. She even took pics of the dogs while I was away to see how they were doing. I would recommend Rebecca’s services and will definitely use her in the future.”
“We just came home after leaving our dogs with Nora for the first time, and I can say it was an overall great experience. She communicated well and quickly, followed our detailed instructions, kept great care of our dogs, and left our home in immaculate condition. She was reliable, trustworthy, and had a positive impact on our dogs' well-being. I was a little nervous as it was the first time we had worked with her. She sent a pic of the dogs with her the first evening that put me totally at ease. Highly recommend. - Mike”
About: I have experience with big and small dogs, including seniors and dogs with anxiety and special needs. I know each dog is different and will make sure your pup has their needs met! I’m very attentive and diligent and will take care to follow any specific instructions you have. I communicate a lot and tend to give plenty of updates. I currently have no pets of my own but I used to have a large dog and learned a lot through experience and working with multiple trainers during that time. I’m very available to sit or walk as needed right now as I’m taking a break from my corporate job to explore other paths. Willing to be flexible! I have no other pets or dependents so I will be fully dedicated to your pup. I always keep safety first especially as a former reactive dog owner, and I will always be respectful of your property.
“Giana was such a great help to us when we had an impromptu over night trip. She was very communicative and sent so many pictures of our Shiloh! I would absolutely recommend booking with her and I can guarantee your pet will be happy too!”
About: Siempre he tenido mucha pasión por el cuidado y bienestar de las mascotas. He así que me convertí en enfermera veterinaria de tiempo completo y disfruto de cuidar de mascotas en mi tiempo libre. En el pasado he cuidado de muchas mascotas, ya sean de familiares o amigos y he siguiendo al pie de la letra su rutina diaria, así le resulte más fácil a la mascota adaptarse a mi y yo a ella en el tiempo que esté bajo mi cuidado. Actualmente trabajo a tiempo completo, pero solo trabajo 3 días turnos de 12 horas durante la noche, lo cual me deja con varios días disponible para poder cuidar de mascotas ya sea por algunas horas o todo el día. Por el momento no puedo ofrecer cuidado de mascotas en mi hogar, pero sí, esto cambia en el futuro, dispongo de un patio trasero cercado y una amplia casa para descansar o jugar con tu mascota. El cuidado de mascotas en su hogar será de excelencia, siguiendo la rutina diaria de tus mascotas y asegurando mantener todo tal cual estaba antes de mi llegada, ocuparme de limpiar y organizar cualquier incidente que ocurra en la propiedad durante mi cuidado de la mascota.
“I can always trust Rita. I’ve had issues in the past with sitters ensuring that they wouldn’t leave my dog alone for more than 3 hours but have ended up leaving him for 6. Rita, on the other hand, sticks to her word and goes to extra lengths to ensure my dog is comfortable at home. She’s my go to sitter for house sitting, dog sitting, and dog walking. Highly recommend her to folks who need special care for their fur babies.”

Thank you so much to Joanna! I came home to happy and relaxed pups, who received thoughtful care and loving attention. My home was spotless. Joanna provided me with great communication, updates and pictures throughout her stay. We are so extremely grateful because Joanna was able to step in at the last minute. We would definitely recommend her, and I hope to be able to book her as a sitter again.
We feel so lucky to have found Leah! She is super accommodating and really great with cats, she really went out of her way to help make Biscuit and Sniffies feel comfortable and safe. You can tell she gets it and has a big heart for animals 😊 She sent updates every day and made sure to let us know how the cats were doing. Would highly recommend her!!!
Ashley was EXCELLENT. She stayed at our home for 17 days while we were on a European vacation. Communication is one of Ashley’s biggest strengths. She kept in constant touch, asked questions about things she needed to clarify and above all gave our boxer girl a heap of love and affection. House was in perfect order when we returned. Will definitely hire her again.
Angela was absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of our cat Pixie and our dog Churro while we were away. From the thoughtful updates to the sweet photos, it was clear they were both happy, relaxed, and in great hands. We came home to two very content pets—and an incredibly clean house, which was such a lovely surprise. Angela went above and beyond in every way, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.
