Nicole was absolutely fantastic with our St. Bernard, Layla. Because Layla is so large, we’re always a bit nervous about who can confidently handle her—but Nicole immediately put us at ease. She was calm, capable, and incredibly playful and loving with Layla from the start. Nicole was also very communicative and proactive throughout, keeping us updated and sent us photos. We would highly recommend Nicole and will absolutely be working with her again!

My babies truly love Kymberlee. They are always so calm when I get home, like they’ve been loved on adequately. My blind god especially loves her because she shows her extra care. She makes sure they are entertained and sends lots of pictures. Amazing!

About: I've been around pets my entire life. I grew up with at least two dogs in the household at all times and have learned to care for them as puppies until it was their time to go. I am often asked to care for family and friends' animals I work remote full time, so my availability is open. I can be available on short notice for anything from a simple walk around the neighborhood to overnight care. Like humans, pets have their personalities, and I will be sure to care for them. If they are energetic and love to play, so am I. If they are in their senior years, I will tend to their needs and give them what they need and deserve.

Christina has been cat sitting my two fur babies for a couple of months when I go on business trips. She has wonderful communication and my cats (who are picky) love when she’s over. They are well taken cared of and hope to continue booking with Christina for future pet sitting needs ! Thank you, Christina !

About: With over 10 years of pet care experience (and a lifetime of having pets of my own), I truly understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I’ve also cared for friends’ and family’s pets, giving me experience with a variety of personalities and needs. I offer flexible scheduling, plenty of play and attention, and top-quality care, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away! I work fully remote, which allows me to be flexible and attentive to your pet’s specific bathroom and feeding routines. I’m available for boarding starting after 4pm on weekdays and after 12pm on weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always follow your preferences and routines. I live on a quiet street with easy access to safe outdoor areas for regular potty walks and fresh air.

The Best! Wayne and Jordan were amazing with my two rescue huskies while I was on vacation. The dogs are generally very cautious of strangers, and they were going through some sibling rivalry and needed to be kept apart - on separate floors of the house. Wayne and Jordan’s pet-sitting experience and patience were apparent in their daily communications and photos. It was great to see how the girls warmed up quickly! Each pup got lots of attention and exercise, and they were calm and happy when I got home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The icing on the cake - the bedding was all washed and the house was clean when I got home. Highly Recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oriana was fabulous when staying in our home and taking care of our 12 year old Havanese. First, she offered to do a meet and greet in person before our vacation. Then while we were away for 10 days, she sent daily photo updates and was extremely responsive. She left our house in even cleaner condition than it was when she arrived, and was even thoughtful enough to replace the milk in our refrigerator. Would love to have her again and highly recommend Oriana!

We were so appreciative of having Chelsey take care of our 2 Shih Tzus. I didn’t have any apprehension while Chelsey was here to watch our dogs. She sent us so many wonderful photos of our 2 pups. It was so fun to see what the 2 pups were doing and how happy and relaxed they looked! I totally recommend having Chelsey in to take care of your pets!

There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!

Sarah was a fantastic sitter from start to finish. We've had some terrible experiences with sitters over the years, so we know (and appreciate!) a good one when we find one. From my first interaction with Sarah, she was responsive, professional, and very pleasant. She took excellent care of our 3 dogs and older cat. They are a cute crew- but a lot of work! Sarah made it look easy, and she left our home in great shape too. Highly recommend!

Abby was amazing. I was very nervous about getting a pet sitter we didn't know for our dog but she was incredibly reassuring and very patient with Marly (our dog), who can be nervous around strangers. She gave updates and pictures throughout the days on how Marly was doing and had no issues with walking her (she can be reactive). I have absolutely no complaints and would hire Abby again.

I may regret saying this because it could make it harder to book him in the future, but I can’t say enough good things about Leo! He was punctual, communicative, flexible, and genuinely kind throughout the entire experience. He has a calm, friendly nature that immediately put both me and my dog at ease. My Ollie is still generally cautious around strangers, but with Leo it was completely different. The moment Ollie spotted him from a distance, he was excited instead of fearful. He immediately approached him with confidence and comfort, which is incredibly rare for him. Watching that instant connection gave me complete peace of mind. It’s not often you find someone who is not only reliable and professional, but who also has such a natural connection with animals. I would absolutely trust Leo with Ollie again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.

Katherine took care of our dog in our home while we were away - if she had not been available we wouldn't have booked the tickets. The steady stream of communication, pictures and reassurances (our dog is not the easiest to care for) were amazing. We came home to a healthy and happy dog - who didn't seem to have overly missed us if I'm honest - and tidy home - with flowers on the table to welcome us back. We couldn't be happier with - well - literally everything about how she looked after our dog.

Our pets mean absolutely everything to us and finding consistent, quality care is difficult. However, Albedardo gave my wife and me complete peace of mind. He frequently asked clarifying questions during our meet and greet and during his stay, and clearly read the specific care instructions we provided to him. We especially appreciated his attention to detail and gentle nature, and the regular updates he provided during his stay, which were thorough and included numerous, great photos of our pets. Al even went above and beyond to help us with watering our plants and left our apartment tidy for our return. We are planning to use his services again soon.

Claire was easy-going, attentive and responsible, despite having to take a final exam during the days when she was house sitting. She was always flexible about meeting up before the pet sitting began. She kept my beloved dog and cat alive and well while I was out of town, which was my main priority. But she also paid attention to their moods, appetites (or lack thereof) and individual needs, which I greatly appreciated. My place was so clean when I returned, it was almost as if she wasn't even here! Thank you, Claire!

We have a senior dog with stranger anxiety and multiple daily medications and Karuna was wonderful with him. She was really patient and gave him time to warm up to her during a couple meet and greet visits, and then followed his lead when she was house sitting to ensure he felt comfortable with her. Karuna was very communicative and provided frequent updates including photos so we could enjoy our time away, knowing that our dog was well cared for.

She was so responsive, took time to share all about Chelsea’s day, made sure to give her all the snuggles and even took her on longer walks than I had asked for. Absolutely amazing care and made me feel so at ease while I was traveling. I will always ask Ajia first for my overnight stays. Thank you x a million!! :)
