“Maya was amazing with our pups. We were in town with our 2 dogs. They are both used to being with us and get anxious when they are not. Maya is very knowledgeable and sweet and knew exactly how to handle them. She played a lot with our very active GSP. She is also very respectful and sends lots of pictures and updates. We booked her twice during our visit and will definitely book her again when we come back.”

About: I have years of experience taking care of my two feline sons Tater and Tot, as well as a variety of other cats, dogs, and even a few snakes, hamsters, and goats! I understand that pets are family and know it is a privilege to take care of your fur babies. I would treat your pets with the same love and care I show towards mine. As a graduate student with remote classes, I have lots of flexibility to take care of your fur babies, whether early in the morning, late at night, or anytime in between! I know how hard it is to be to be away from your pets. I want you to know that if I have the privilege to care for your fur babies, I will treat them as if they were my own and will send you lots of photos to help put your mind at ease! I am meticulous about cleaning up after pets, will monitor their food intake and hydration, and will provide lots of opportunities for socialization, exercise, and play! I will also keep you posted on their daily health behaviors and will carefully follow any instructions you provide.

“Bri was an outstanding dog/house sitter! She took wonderful care of our 15 year old yellow lab and we are impressed with her communication and attention to detail.

“Aidan did a great job! He house sat with the puppies for 6 days and he left the house in great condition. The puppies were happy. He sent pictures to let me know they were going well too. I will definitely be using him again.”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages and am able to accommodate certain requests with a conversation with you! I have been a dog owner for my whole life and a more recent cat owner, and cared for dogs and cats of friends, family, and neighbors throughout. I work part time and on an inconsistent schedule, so reach out and I can often accommodate your needs! I am better able to accommodate specific times and dates with more advance notice! I always come to your home so your furry friend feels safe and comfortable in the place they know best. I always take cues from the pet in our first interactions and will prioritize their health and safety, even if that means taking a longer time to get the job done.
About: Building lasting relationships through personalized attention, reliable communication, and treating each pup as my own beloved companion, ensuring their happiness and your peace of mind! I work from home and have flexible availability, I block out morning and evening times to be readily available to tend for your pups needs I have a series of questions I ask to understand the pup I will be taking care of to ensure they avoid dangerous situations that may trigger them, always use leashes and follow schedules they are used to while keeping you in loop of our time together
“Sophie stayed with our 10 y/o lab, and took great care of him. I always worry about leaving him when we are on vacation, and it always puts my mind more at ease knowing he is getting taken care of in the comforts of his own home. Sophie kept us posted and sent us pictures to provide updates on our boy. Very thankful for the care she provided!”
“Seth was wonderful. My dog had surgery and she needed to be fed on schedule to take her medication and Seth followed all instructions. He didn’t just come in to walk and feed he actually spent time with my dog. He also sent me detailed messages and photos. It was a wonderful experience for me and my dog and I highly recommend him for any dog owner.”
