Sarah is amazing!! She’s very kind,thorough, and responsive. She always kept us updated and charmed even our most suspicious feline. We have a kitty who needs medications and she always made sure to include an update about that which is super appreciated and comforted. She did exceptional care and we will definitely be requesting her care in the future for our fur babies.

Dina is wonderful! The pups absolutely loved her and it was so nice to know that they were being checked on while we were gone for the day. I also got some really cute photos! I highly recommend Dina!

Margaret went above and beyond for our drop-ins. During our travel, she assisted with providing insight on some home issues occurring in our absence. She provided pictures and updates as needed when various service providers remedied the issues. All the while taking exceptional care of our babies. She sent so many pictures and videos to keep us updated on their wellbeing. Additionally, she changed the two liter boxes, refilled water fountain, and feeder while we were away. Will definitely book with her again!

Debbie was absolutely lovely. She took great care of my pups while we were out of town. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better! We video called ahead of time to go over the routine and she checked in with me while she was checking in on the pups. Have us absolute peace of mind! 10/10

Tanya was very attentive to our pups! She played with them & gave them their dinner as planned. She took the time to give them special attention since we were gone all day! She was very punctual & sent us photos as well! We will definitely be using her again. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur babies!

About: I’ve grown up around pets and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and learning their personalities. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I’ll also be starting DoorDash soon, which gives me the ability to plan my hours around pet care and stay reliable for bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll always follow care instructions closely, keep pets secure on walks and during visits, provide updates when needed, and make sure they feel calm, cared for, and comfortable in my care.

Chelsea is awesome! She came and cared for my baby dog at last minute’s notice during the holiday season. She intuitively understands dogs and is patient with their quirks. Definitely will be trying to book her again in the future!

Kristen did a great job for us. We contacted her at the last moment, she came to our house without a pre-booking visit, and our dog adjusted very quickly to her without ever meeting her. Kristen was punctual and followed our instructions. Overall, a great experience with Kristen.

Phillip was amazing with my kitty Scooter. He took care of her while I was away for a week and I was astonished at the magic that he worked on her. She is a sweet girl that can take some time to warm up to people, but he got her to play with him in no time. I will definitely be booking Phillip again the next time Scooter is in need of a sitter, and I highly recommend him for any other cat owners in the area.

About: *Prior to sending a booking request, please be aware that I work 8:30AM to 5:30PM M-F. If this does not work for your pet’s needs, please do not send a request* When you book with me, I COME TO YOU! Your pets will never have to leave the place they know and love. I know leaving your fur babies is difficult, so I make it a point to respond to all messages almost instantly when I am not working my regular 8:30am-5:30pm job, and within 1-2 hours when I am at work. I am experienced with dogs and cats of all ages and love them as my own! I request detailed instructions on feeding and any other important details to be sent via message or written at your home. My weekends and nights after work stay flexible: sometimes I am gone for a couple hours to visit friends, but if a pre-set plan with my friends is intended to take more than 3 hours, I will ensure you are aware ahead of time so we can determine whether I am the best fit for your pets. I only pet sit in the client's home as I believe animals feel safer in an environment they know and trust. I also live in a small space where I cannot have more than my one dog, so bringing more animals home is not an option.
