Solaima was fantastic with taking care of our two older cats while we were away, and we really appreciated how careful and thoughtful she was about the needs of our particularly anxious boy! Looking forward to having her help with them in the future :)

Was able to come a check in on my baby last minute before the storm! I got stuck out of the country and was not going to be home when I thought and she made sure he was okay. Thank you so much. A life saver!

I just returned from a last-minute trip. I contacted Haowen two days before, and he was super accommodating. We met two days before my flight. My dog immediately warmed up to him, and I knew he would be great with her. During the trip, he sent me tons of pictures of them walking and playing. He's a great person, and I would definitely recommend him! I'm going to be a repeat customer, too! Thanks so much, Haowen!

My dog is new to town and can be skittish, but Shantae was absolutely great with him. She was patient in the beginning and soon Pedro was playing with her and having a blast. She was communicative, helpful, and a great sitter/walker. Looking forward to using her again!

About: I’ve been raising dogs since i was a child. I’ve had 4 dogs throughout my life. Out of the most recent 2, one was a senior with heart problems so i have much experience with older dogs and giving medicine if necessary. My other dog is a rescue, i’ve raised since she was 3 months old. In addition to behavioral classes i took with her, i’ve potty trained, crate trained and trained her to have basic skills myself. I’ve raised most of my dogs (there was one adult rescue) from puppy to senior years so i hold much experience with dogs in these age ranges. I can care for dogs that are of all skill levels and ages. My dog and i are able to adapt to any energy level your pup may be at and will always care for them as if they are my own. I currently work full-time but luckily I am hybrid. I work in office Mon, Tues, and Thurs. Otherwise, I will normally always be with your pet unless i must go out and run errands. However, i also love to take my dog wherever i go as long as i know i’m making a quick stop, so if your dog loves car rides we will be together most of their stay. During 2025 holidays i will be at home full time until 1/4/26 I have one sweet puppy who loves other dogs and will gladly welcome them into the home. i tend to keep the house pretty tidy so my dogs can’t get into anything. If there’s anything specific your fur baby needs to avoid let me know. Lastly, i have a camera in my home to watch my puppy if i’m away and as my client i can provide footage of their stay to keep you at comfort.

Alicia was communicative and punctual with her visit. My cat gets lonely on his own, and she sent me pictures of him looking very happy having some playtime and a belly rub (his favorite). She adhered to the instructions I left for her and she was caring and attentive. I came home to a happy cat and that makes me happy! I have already booked Alicia for a future visit and I can enjoy my vacation knowing my cat will be well taken care of.

Elizabeth took such great care of my cat, Petie. He has special needs and can be quite the handful, but Elizabeth was really professional in how she handled him. She was very communicative throughout the whole process, provided tons of cute pics, and played and cuddled Petie to his little heart’s content. I’d really recommend hiring her if you are able! Thanks for everything, Elizabeth!

About: Hello! My name is Brittany and I would love to help you out with your loyal companion. I have a husky of my own and we love to be outside hiking and exploring. I am comfortable with dogs of any shape and size. If you’re looking for someone to give your fur friend a little exercise, or to just hang out, I am your girl! I live in an area with multiple dog parks, open areas for your dog to run or relax and bodies of water if your dog loves to swim! I am always open to suggestions and love learning about new dogs and breeds. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, I would love to hear them! Thank you so much for considering me to help out with your lovable fur family member! I currently work full time throughout the week so weekends are my free time to explore the city and help take care of your furry friend! I have a few fenced in dog areas and my own furry friend to keep yours company. I am willing to crate your dog if needed and am also willing to work with you to keep your dog comfortable!

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I was a little girl. I grew up with 3 cats, but I’ve always loved animals of all kinds, big or small. I’m a reliable and attentive person who will always pay close attention to your pet’s needs. My goal is to give your pet the most comfortable experience possible, whether that means playtime, feeding, or simply helping them stay calm and cared for. I always want to provide a safe, loving, and positive experience for every pet. I am currently working part time, which allows me to have more than enough time to spend with your pet! I'm very lenient when it comes to timing so if anything comes up, I'll be very understanding and try to work things out with you! I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes if needed, and get attention and playtime based on their personality. I always follow any specific instructions from the owner and keep a calm, clean, and safe environment.

Liz is incredible and did an amazing job with our wiggly puppy! I loved that she had us do a meet and greet as well during which she took time to get to know Maisel and took notes on her care. Liz clearly takes this job seriously and cares deeply about the animals she is caring for.
