Darius provided excellent care for our pet. He followed all instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and routines. He sent daily updates with clear photos and notes, which helped us feel confident everything was going smoothly. Communication was consistent and timely — he responded quickly to questions and kept us informed of any changes. Our pet looked relaxed and happy in every photo, and came home calm and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with Darius again.

Christina was amazing with our babies. Two of our kitties are very shy, but they came to visit her right off the bat. She was very communicative and respectful and even went above and beyond with some light chores. We will definitely book Christina again.

Ynes was fantastic! She completed three drop-ins per day over three days and was consistently on time for every visit. She handled my senior dog, Dutchess, with great care and attention, which gave me real peace of mind. What I appreciated most was her communication… she sent multiple pictures daily and kept me updated every step of the way, making me feel completely comfortable while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would absolutely use Ynes’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Raquel does a great job with the drop in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's also been flexible when we've had to reschedule and responsive to anything that you need to communicate. We've been using her visits once a week! Thanks for helping curb our pups boredom behaviors! ?

Jay also went above and beyond, bringing in packages and doing other tasks while we were away. Jay was responsive and communicative and I would definitely recommend!

About: I’m a pure animal lover! I love dogs and cats of all sizes. I currently have one 3 year old pug and foster another pug. I understand the amount of time and attention it requires to take care of our babies which is why you can trust me with yours! Whether it’s a senior animal that requires medication or a young puppy that requires an extra amount of time, I am your girl! I look forward to the opportunity. I work from home 4 days out of week so you can trust I am available for potty breaks and attention for your fur baby. I have a fully fenced yard and easy access to a dog park across the street so they will get plenty of potty breaks with me.

Jose was very professional and took great care of my elderly cat while I had to leave town for a few days. He always was prompt with visits, and sent pics of the visit. He spent some time with her each day. I'd happily have him come and take care of my cat again!
