“Sammy was highly responsive and responsible, took good care of our cat, and arrived on time each day. They even went out of their way to make up time that had accidentally been missed. I will be looking to book them for future travel.”

About: Since I was a child, animals have been a fundamental part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets, learning from an early age what it means to care for them with love, patience, and responsibility. To me, they are not just companions but family members who deserve attention, affection, and a safe environment where they can be happy. Before having my huskies, I had two cats whom I loved dearly. They taught me the importance of understanding different personalities and needs, as well as how to provide a nurturing and comforting space for pets of all kinds. My most recent experience has been with two huskies, a breed that presents an even greater challenge due to their high energy levels and independent nature. However, this challenge has only strengthened my commitment and passion for animal care. I have learned to understand their needs, maintain active routines, and provide them with the love and guidance they require. When I take care of a pet, I don’t just ensure their basic needs are met—I also offer companionship, playtime, and lots of affection. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel at ease, knowing their furry companions are in the hands of someone who will treat them as their own. My sense of belonging toward every pet I care for is genuine, and I strive to provide them with an experience full of love and trust, just as if they were in their own home. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet with the same dedication and love as you do, I would be delighted to help. Your furry friend will be in great hands! Pet care is an essential part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure that each pet receives the attention, exercise, and love they need, adapting to their individual needs. From walks and playtime to moments of rest and companionship, I organize my time to provide them with a safe and loving environment. Additionally, I am committed to following each owner’s routines and preferences so that their pet feels as comfortable as possible in my care. Caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, is all about providing them with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I adapt to each pet’s needs and routines, making sure to follow the owner’s instructions so they feel at ease. In my home, I provide a clean and cozy space where pets can rest, play, and receive personalized attention. I ensure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and moments of relaxation. If I’m caring for a pet in the client’s home, I respect their environment and maintain their routine as normally as possible, making sure they get their walks, meals on time, and lots of affection. My priority is for each pet to feel safe and happy while in my care.

“Brianna did a great job checking in on my 2 cats while I was away for a couple of trips!! Hurricane Beryl came through when I was away on one of them and she still made it a priority to check on them even though she was without power and water herself. I was relived to have someone available to make sure my cats were well taken care of.”


5. Kaitlyn H.
“Kaitlyn has walked with my senior dogs in the past, and has expressed such amazing compassion and meticulous care for my babies. She always gave them their medicine on time, made sure they weren’t too exhausted after a walk, and was always incredibly patient with them. I am always happy to book with her”


6. Tamiya J.

“Tamiya was awesome! She went above and beyond when caring for our two cats while we were away. She took extra time with them, and we could tell they really started to bond with her. Super communicative and sent us some really nice pictures every day. Highly recommend!”


7. Laxmi P.

“Laxmi took great care of my cat, Cleo! She is considerate, communicative, and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter :)”


8. Anastasiia S.
“I can’t recommend Anastasya enough as a pet sitter and dog walker! She’s one of the most caring, responsible, and thoughtful people I know, and her love for animals shines through in everything she does. Anastasya has helped care for our dog Ruby, and seeing the way Ruby absolutely lights up around her says it all. She’s patient, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and entertained. What I love most is that Anastasya treats every pet like family whether it’s taking the extra time for belly rubs, making sure their routine is followed to a T, or sending the cutest photo updates throughout the day. Ruby always comes back happy, calm, and well cared for. If you’re looking for someone you can trust 100% with your furry family member, Anastasya is your person. You’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re in kind, capable, and loving hands!”


9. Carolanna R.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Carolanna as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Her genuine affection for animals is evident in the way she cares for them—always attentive, patient, and compassionate. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, or just spending quality time, Carolanna treats every pet like her own. You can rest easy knowing your furry friend is in such capable and caring hands.”


10. Danielle L.

“Danielle was incredible and came to save us with a last minute drop in visit! Left very nice pictures of our happy kitties, thanks very much!”


11. Matt C.

“Our puppy loved Matt immidiately. He walked through the door and usually she is kind of sceptical but he got kisses straight away. He was punctual, super friendly and asked a lot of questions. He clearly has a lot of experience and loves dogs!”


12. Jenny C.

“Jenny is consistently a delight, and I know my cat is in great hands with her around!”


13. Charles R.

“Charles did a fantastic job. Both my cat and my dog were very happy and content when I got home, and the pictures the updates clearly showed how much they enjoyed hanging with him. Thanks Charles!”


14. Gaby L.

“Gaby took such great care of our puppy, Mocha, while we were out of town. She is so sweet and gentle with animals that it was easy to trust her. Being new to the area makes it difficult to find someone that has the patience and kindness to care for a hyper puppy, but it was no issue trusting Gaby with our 10 month old Aussie. Gaby kept us updated and was quick to respond which helped to make us feel more comfortable, we will continue to trust Gaby with our pup. So glad to have found her!!”




15. David W.


“David was so great helping with my new pup! He introduced me to some new training tips and would always leave a detailed report after walking my puppy. I really appreciated his flexibility and effort to teach me as well as my puppy. Super helpful having David be around Pico while I was at the office, very respectful of my house/belongings. Would definitely recommend David to new puppy owners and dog owners across the board!”


16. Irina Z.

“Irina was amazing with my cats. She was great at giving them attention, feeding all three of them, and giving my diabetic cat insulin. I would absolutely use her for any cat-sitting or medical care help again!”


17. Anita G.

“Anita was wonderful with my senior dog, Teddy, for 3 drop-in appointments. Very kind and attentive to detail! Would recommend and will book her again.”




18. Ricky C.

“Ricky did a great job with my cat when I had a last minute trip. He’s quick to respond, communicated when he’d be arriving and throughout the stay, sending me updates and photos.”


19. Tami W.

“Tami was a wonderful sitter for my cat, Asha, when I had to be away for more than 2 weeks. She gave her a lot of attention and I came home to a happy kitty. Thank you Tami!”


20. Katsiaryna S.

“The best dog walker ever! She is caring and spends quality time with our dog Emmy when she does drop in visits. She also takes beautiful photos of her”
