“Hope was fantastic today! She was super flexible with her schedule to walk my pups. They looked so happy and really enjoyed their time with her!!”
3. Alexander S.
“Alexander took care of Kozy (cat) and dog (Fred) while I was out of town. He responded quickly to my initial request and was easy to communicate with. Fred is very sociable and can be anxious. He often wants to jump on people, and sometimes wants to hump. He also needs to have one of his eyes rinsed, wiped, and medicated frequently. Alexander was patient with him, took him for walks, took great care of his eye, and sent plenty of photos and updates. Both pets were happy and relaxed when I came home. I would definitely book with Alexander again.”

16. Rachel S.
“I'm really grateful to Rachel, she's helped me a ton in the past take care of my Alaskan Klee Kai when I've been out of town or busy with one thing or another, and I have always known that with her she's in good hands. She sends me pictures of them having a good time, gives me the full run down when she's done, and I always know I'll get home to one tuckered out, happy pup! I would recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a walker/sitter for their pet!”
17. Helen C.
About: Hello, my name is Helen but I go by Celeste! While I’ve been quite introverted ever since I was young, I have always felt like I could emotionally connect to animals and am my absolute happiest when I’m around them. I grew up with and took care of three variously-sized dogs throughout my life, one of which being both blind and partially deaf, as well as two cats. In addition, I have previously volunteered regularly at a local cat shelter for nearly two years. I currently do not have any animals of my own and miss mine back home very much, so I would be more than honored to give your pet the same love and care I would give my own while you’re away! I currently work Monday through Friday from 2pm-6:30pm, so outside of those times I have fairly open availability for walks and drop-ins! Mornings are my favorite time to be out and about, but I can be available throughout the day and evening if it fits in with my schedule. I am always willing to be flexible with availability though, so please still feel free to reach out! I am very attentive and take a lot of pride in my desire to do the best job I possibly can in whatever I do. Additionally, I do not have any personal or school-related distractions, so my attention will be fully devoted to your pet, and after a housesit, I will always make sure to leave your space as clean as it was when you left! Plus, I always guarantee an in-depth update/overview with photos, twice in the morning and evening if it's for housesitting :)
18. Rachel M.
“Rachel is the best. I highly recommend her as she was flexible with my schedule. This was my first time getting hair removal and she took it easy on me :)”
19. Mora O.
“Great detailed updates, punctual, and most importantly, Ruth is happy and tired after her walks with Mora!”
20. Shion Y.
“I can not say enough about how incredible Shion was taking care of our dog Berkley. She imidiately bonded with Berkley and gained her trust. She was punctual and did above and beyond what we asked of her while we were away. She is the best sitter/ care giver we have ever had and can not thank her enough.”
