Aaron stayed with Albert for the night and took great care of both Albert and the house! He sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on how things were going. I knew Albert was in good hands while we were gone, and we would definitely ask them to stay with Albert again. Thank you so much!!

Kymberlee was great! It was our first time leaving Bella for this long and we were nervous. She provided regular updates, sent pictures, and kept Bella company the whole time we were gone. And the place was cleaner when we got back then when we left it! Will absolutely be calling Kymberlee in the future!!

I could not have asked for a better sitter! From the beginning, Beto was communicative, flexible, and easy to work with. He followed all of my instructions to the letter and asked clarifying questions that made it clear he cared about the wellbeing of my dog. He sent multiple photos, videos, and updates every day, and even went above and beyond by going to multiple stores to find the best new leash for my dog when she chewed through her old one. When I told him that my bed frame had broken right before he arrived, he offered to put the new one together for a very fair price (and he did a great job)! At the end of the visit he left me a nice card and a very cute printed photo of my dog. The peace of mind Beto provided while I was away was invaluable, and I would recommend him to anyone!

Trisha watched our two dogs for 10 days and things could not not have been smoother. She sent daily pics and videos, and the dogs were clearly having a ball with her. Despite our two very messy dogs, Trisha had the house spotless when we returned. We definitely hope to book her services again when we travel.

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, especially cats, so I naturally understand their Needs and unique personalities. Even though I’ve never owned a dog of my own, I’ve cared for many dogs through friends and family — from puppies who need full attention to older dogs who need extra patience and care. I also have experience giving pets oral medication, so I’m comfortable following special routines. My goal is always to give each pet the same love, comfort, and attention I’d want for my own! I am currently a full-time student at Howard University so I have class everyday. With any free time I have on my hands not studying or in class, I’d love to help! Im happy to take your pets on walks, give them fresh food and water, and spend quality time with them so they feel cared for while you're away. Im gentle and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Building trust is very important to me, and treat one like my own! :)

Macky took wonderful care of our 12 year old dog and three cats while my husband and I were away for eight days. She sent us lots of updates and pictures, asked questions when she needed to, quickly responded to questions, and was right on time for our meet and greet and the day her stay started. We hope Macky will keep taking care of our babies when we need someone!

The studio was spotless, the sheets had been washed, and everything was perfectly organized. These thoughtful details meant so much to us. Most importantly, we could tell that Gini was happy, comfortable, and well cared for during her stay. Thank you for treating her like family. She means the world to us, and we would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!
