“Katherine came back for some more drop in visits and she’s seriously the best :) she gives me tons of details on the visit and the cutest pics of my girl!!!”


“So helpful. My dog was uncooperative yet Kathryn still did all she could to follow through with her service to the best of her ability. Very honest and communicative. I just feel bad my pup gave her a hard time.”


“We couldn't be happier with Patrick's care for our two energetic pups while we were away on vacation. Right away, it was obvious that Patrick cared during the meet-and-greet. He made sure to understand every detail about their needs, routines, and how to give them their medications at lunch. He also made sure to update us on when he arrived and left and sent us photos. It was evident that he genuinely loves pets and takes caring for them seriously. Knowing our dogs were in such capable hands allowed us to enjoy our trip with peace of mind. We highly recommend Patrick to anyone in need of reliable and caring pet care, and we will definitely be utilizing his services again in the future. Thank you, Patrick, for your exceptional care of our furry family members!”


“Amanda J. took great care of my precious 16 year old cat. I will be happy to use her again someday as the need arises, and highly recommend her. She's reliable and kind!”


“Laura was great with our two cats and anxious dog! She very kindly came for a visit ahead of time to meet our pets and familiarize herself with their care needs. We will definitely reach out to Laura again for pet sitting 👍🏽”


“Rachel did an excellent job with Monarch. Rachel kept me up to date and took pictures. Rachel took good care of Monarch, played with him, walked him, gave him his meds and fed him. This was my second attempt at home visits while away with Rover and my first went really bad. But Rachel has restored my trust and I will definitely use her services again.”


“Desiree is reliable, kind, and amazing with dogs! We are so lucky to have found her! She administered sub q fluids to our elderly dog while we were on vacation. That wasn’t an easy task and she was one of the few who could do it. We can’t thank Desiree enough for her help while we were away!”


About: I have always taken care of different pets. I love being of service and making sure my animal companions are always enjoying life around me. I work as a Doggy Daycare Attendant currently. Most of my time is spent caring for pups as it is! I love doing it so it doesn't feel like a chore. I have extra time on my hands and would love to help out! Reading your dog/cats body language through undivided attention will help me personalize my services tailoring the way I approach/ handle each pet accordingly. Knowing where first aid and cleaning supplies are located. If you could make that readily available for when life happens.

“As a first time user of the app, I was a bit anxious but Gabrielle helped so much by sending updates everyday as we were away on vacation. She was on time and consistent. Will rebook again in the future!”


“Shayna has probably been one of the best sitters I’ve ever had period. Extremely attentive to my pup and cat and always so detailed with her visits. My cat was even eating my new plant and she hid it from him to make sure it wasn’t destroyed by the time I can back 😂. Have nothing but trust every time she watches the animals.”

“We have used Toran several times. Our dog, Oliver, took to him immediately (Oliver is not thrilled when first meeting brew people). Communication is excellent, two thumbs up!”


“katy was so great with our two dogs. she had great communication and notes with photos so we knew what they were up to during the check-ins. she's very sweet and i can tell she really cares for the animals she cares for!”


“Noah was amazing with our cats, Asher and Luna. He took such great care of them while we were away, and it was such a relief to know they were in good hands. He even gave Asher his inhaler without any issues, which we really appreciated—it’s not the easiest thing to do! We came home to two happy, relaxed kitties, and we’d definitely trust Noah to watch them again. Highly recommend!”


About: Over the years, I’ve found myself drawn to caring for animals in small but meaningful ways. Whether it’s walking or playing with a family member’s energetic dog or simply offering companionship, I’ve always found fulfillment in their presence.What I may lack in professional dog care experience, I make up for with genuine attentiveness, patience, and affection. I understand how important it is to build trust with pets and their humans, and I’m committed to creating a safe, loving environment for your pets. As someone who’s cared for my aunt’s cats—including administering medication and tuning in to their unique personalities—I bring that same level of thoughtfulness and care to my work with dogs. As someone who works from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule and the freedom to work from just about anywhere—making it easy for me to prioritize your pet’s care. Whether it's a mid-day walk, potty break, or weekend with the owner's out of town, I can be present and attentive to assist you in caring for your pet's needs. Work with my schedule and I can work with your's. When providing services in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I give your pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with someone entering your home, and I take that trust seriously. With a patient, compassionate approach, I aim to create a calm and safe environment where your pet can feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for. As well as ensuring that the guidelines you provide are followed.

“Perfect match and accomodated a last minute resquest. Followed all directions well and was a major help with taking care of all three girls. Locked all doors and very happy with service. Highly recommend”


“Colleen helped me out last minute with a drop in with my dog. She was friendly, professional and on time. She provided good notes for the visit and my dog enjoyed her company! Will definitely be using her again.”


About: I have plenty of experience with both dogs and cats. I have been working in a dog/cat boarding and daycare facility for a little over a year now. At work, we are responsible for providing individual care for each animal staying with us; we are in charge of providing them with playtime, feeding them, giving meds, and more. Personally, I have had two cats going on about 15 years now, and I have had two dogs (a lab mix and a pit mix) for about five years. I also have the experience of being a dog walker volunteer at a humane society Right now, I am on summer break and home from school, and I am currently only working a part-time job. Since I am around animals pretty much 24/7, caring for them is part of my usual routine, making me very passionate about animals. Unfortunately, one of my dogs is reactive and doesn't take well to new doggy friends, so care at my house would not be possible. However, in terms of staying in the owner's home, I would bring over some toys and other things dogs love, like treats, and I could even bring a splash pad for those who like water! I would make sure the dog is my number one priority and be on top of what their daily needs are.


“Sophia took great care of our almost 14 year old dog, Taz! She gave us frequent updates and lots of pictures! Taz was very happy to have her take care of him!”


“Amy is wonderful! She is very caring, prompt, professional, and dependable for your pets. She will make sure that your pets are cared for when you are not home. I will definitely book her again.”


About: I love pets. My family has 3 dogs, the oldest we have had for 11 years. I’ve had experience caring for my dogs, feeding them, washing them, and tending to any wounds or illnesses they have. I have also taken care of friends pets which has allowed me to learn how to interact with different types of dogs. I work remotely from home and will be able to give your pets so much attention and love. I’m available for boarding Monday through Friday at any hours. I live in a great neighborhood so your pets will be safe going on walks. I also live near a park I think pets would enjoy walking through. All pets will be allowed on couches and sofas but I will also respect any trainings or boundaries the owners have. My top priority is your pets safety and to make sure they are comfortable and happy, this is why I only care for one pet a day. I will care for multiple pets from the same family/house.
