“Amy does an amazing job of taking care of my two kitties She gives them so much attention, both are super comfortable with her She does a great job of communicating and sharing pics while she’s caring for them Highly recommend Amy”


“Took fantastic care of my cat while I was gone, and was very kind when I realized I had slightly messed up my booking dates, helping me modify them. Would happily recommend and hire again!”


“Erica is patient, considerate, kind and all around lovely. My dogs ADORE her. She has always been flexible and has helped out last-minute on several occasions. I’m so glad we found her!”


“Amy is great with our dogs. We have two large boisterous Pyrenees mixes, one of which is reactive toward strangers but after just one visit, he had decided she was securely in the “pack” and was a love bug toward her, asking for scratches. She came over for multiple in-home/potty break/play in the yard visits over the course of two days and she was punctual, flexible, communicative. We are definitely going to request her help again in the future.”



“Maria was very communicative throughout our whole trip. She sent notes and photos for each visit. We will definitely call on Maria to take care of Chief in the future!”


“Jason communicated beyond expectation when dropping in to feed and walk my dog. Jason was kind enough to meet ahead of time to do a quick walk through and get the key. Thank you Jason for your diligence!”


“Christina was amazing!! We knew she was special when she got our very timid Bodhi to come out of hiding on her very first visit!! She sent lots of photos and updates, and our spoiled kitties were clearly very happy and pampered in her care. She made us feel a lot less guilty about leaving them, haha. We would highly recommend her, and would definitely have her look after our kitties again 😊”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I would care for my neighbors animals when they were out of town. I’ve always loved dogs and have a 7 yr old Labradoodle, Max, that I rescued when he was a four month old puppy. He had escaped from his original owners and been missing for two days. Please found him and he can run over by a car. They couldn’t save his leg so he’s a tripod. He doesn’t even know he’s missing a leg. Max loves walks, water, and playing with his best doodle friend, Molly. I also have a lot of experience administering insulin shots for dogs. I would love to care for your fur babies the way I care for mine. I am semi retired and my time is very flexible. I’m available for daily walks or pet sitting. I’ll care for your fur baby exact same way I care for mine. My dog Max is living his best life with me. He receives lots of love, walks, snuggles, and playtime. I would give your dogs the same care and affection.

“Grace did a great job with our senior pup and cat on recent drop in visits and walks. She was responsive, professional, and timely - and most importantly, the animals were really sorry to see her go!!”



“Denis was great with our puppy Riely! I felt comfortable with him taking care of her. He came prior to the visit to make sure he knew how to navigate her care and learn her demeanor. He was also very communicative. Will definitely use him again in the future!”

About: I have loved taking care of pets as long as I can remember! I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and would love to get to know and care for your furry friend! I currently work full time in the mornings. I am available to spend time with your pet in the late afternoon. Over the weekends I am very flexible! I will play with your pet, feed them, let them out on potty breaks, walk them, and do overnight stays when needed! I am flexible!

About: I have been working and taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, snuggle, and even help train their pups. I'm taking a break from my studies so I have lots of time to play and hangout with your pet! I am available on weekdays and weekends. I offer dog walking, house sitting, and drop-ins. For each, it is up to you on what you would prefer I do with your pup. I am familiar with crating dogs, bathing, and leash training. I am an avid walker, so if your pup loves a good walk- I’m your gal! Let's work together to create the best plan for your pup!!

About: I have lived with, trained, brought up and loved dogs all of my 60 years. Currently I live alone and travel quite a bit for work so cannot own a dog myself but am happy to take care of yours when I'm available. I would not be a good regular sitter due to my schedule, but generally, you can count on me to look after your pup or cat while on vacation or whatever. I have lots of experience with senior dogs, and have on occasion babysat at your home if you are comfortable with that situation. I walk a lot around my apartment complex, which is very welcoming to dogs. I am also home during the day so your pup is not alone. When you board your dog with me, you can expect he or she would get a walk in the morning, around noon and during the evening with some short outside breaks as needed to do his or her business. If I visit your home, I can walk once a day for about 20-30 minutes.

“Sydney took the best care of our cat Cooper and I could tell when we got home that he was given lots of attention! She was super thorough with all of her notes about her visits and took lots of great pictures for us to see our little guy while we were gone. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
