Vanessa did a great job of taking care of my elderly cat, Bella. Bella's sister had just passed away, and Vanessa helped comfort her while we were gone, gave us daily updates, made sure she was eating and exercising - I recommend to care for your fur-babies!

Really helpful with a last minute drop in visit for my cat! She seems to make Molly feel very safe and comfortable even though she’s a nervous cat. Caitlin provided great updates!

Ariana is such a thoughtful and exceptional pet sitter! She followed the instructions I left to a T, and went above and beyond with detailed reports of her visits. I could tell she genuinely cared about my kitty and spent extra time giving her love and affection. She made sure to send me lots of pictures and videos, and even brought in packages I received while away. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my cat was in such great hands! Ariana is the best!!

Brenda was such a wonderful Petsitter! I could not be any happier! She was quick to respond to my last min request (4 weeks of daily drop-ins and care for my cat). We chatted and did a meet and greet shortly after my request. She met my cat, Watson, who warmed up to her immediately. I gave her a run down of the house and Watson’s routine. She did everything I asked, coming in everyday to care for Watson and give him attention. She was easy to reach in case and sent regular updates and photos. I highly recommend her as a Petsitter! I would definitely utilize her services again in the future.

Melissa was amazing doing a drop-in visit for our four doggies while we were out all day! We have one dog who is pretty shy as she was feral, and I loved seeing a photo where she actually was by Melissa! Shows us Melissa has great vibes and energy, and when the dogs approve, so do us humans! Thank you so much Melissa!!💜

I aim to get out and walk as much as possible, I’d be happy to take your puppy along with me. Your pets comfort and safety is my number one priority, I will make sure they are cared for and loved like they were my own.

About: I have hands-on dog walking experience from caring for my own dogs, ensuring they get regular, safe, and enjoyable walks. Through daily walks, I’ve learned how to manage different energy levels, handle leash behavior, and stay attentive to each dog’s needs while keeping them happy, exercised, and well cared for. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide care at nearly any time. I’m available for onboarding and services throughout the week, including both weekdays and weekends. This flexibility means I can accommodate last-minute requests, varying schedules, and provide dependable care whenever it’s needed. I care for my own pets in a loving, patient, and attentive way, always making their comfort, safety, and happiness a priority. I pay close attention to their individual needs, routines, and personalities, making sure they receive proper feeding, exercise, playtime, and affection. I treat them as part of my family, providing consistent care and a calm, nurturing environment where they feel secure and well loved.

About: Hello, my name is Chase, I am a very active dog lover. I have 2 dogs of my own, one German Shepard & one Lab Mix. I love to play with my dogs every day and they take walks every day as well. I like to be outdoors a lot and can take a short walk or a long walk, whatever the preference the client may want. I work full time but am always off by noon so my schedule is always flexible. I like to keep busy, and what better way then to do so by caring for pets! I hope to be your choice for pet care. Schedule: I have a flexible schedule and can be available after 1pm almost every day for dog walking. Stays: I can be available before and after work to tend to your animal! I currently work full-time. But am always flexible to care for pets any time after 1PM. Whether it be a short or long walk, or a stay over job, I am flexible in these areas. I have a fenced in yard at my house and my dogs also free roam in our front yard and are trained to stay in our front yard. I have watched many dogs in the past and always treat dogs as if they are my own.

Iqra was absolutely amazing with my cats! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and reliable the entire time. She kept me updated, made sure my cats were comfortable, loved, and well taken care of, and truly treated them like her own. She even went out of her way to bring wet food for them, which was such a thoughtful and kind gesture. You can genuinely tell how much she loves animals. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Iqra to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and loving cat sitter! 🐾💕

Cathy took wonderful care of my cat, Sky, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, Sky made a great connection with her and was incredibly affectionate, which says so much about the care and warmth she provides. She truly went above and beyond, giving Sky extra love and attention and making sure he felt comfortable and happy at all times. Cathy was kind, helpful, supportive, and very proactive, always keeping me updated and anticipating anything Sky might need. She was also extremely responsive and easy to reach, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would absolutely trust Cathy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. If Sky could type, he’d probably give her 5 paws and a head boop 🐾😄
