“Michelle was so great with our dogs for a last minute booking!”
“Nicole was amazing with helping me out with a last minute drop in for my dog. She sent pics and videos and kept me updated!”
“Elvia was incredible. She sent us updates throughout her time with our dog, Cora. She is very flexible and helpful in time of short notice. Cora was exhausted at the end of the day so she was taken great care of. We will 100 percent keep using Elvia in the future for our dog. Highly recommend”
“Hanaya was so great with our mini goldendoodle. she was available last minute and really helped us in a crush. Hanaya is very reliable and responsive, and I would definitely use her again!”
“Great attention to detail, very kind, accommodating, and loving to animals! Felt so comfortable knowing she was caring for our babies while we were away. Daniela is fantastic. We will hire her again!”
“We feel so lucky to have found David; truly, we only wish that we had found him sooner! He is reliable, considerate, and, most importantly, our dog LOVES him. Our dog is older, with some medical issues, and can be standoffish to new people but David won him over almost immediately. We always have complete confidence and peace of mind that our dog is well cared for.”
“Briana—you truly took forth into making me feel extremely comfortable leaving my two fur babies with you for the weekend. All instructions were followed & the level of detail you gave each time you visited along with multiple photos of my little kitties, truly gave me some encouragement that they felt comfortable enough with you. I can’t begin to express my gratitude for your kindness and effort into ensuring my cats were in good hands. I will 100% be booking with Briana again! I cannot recommend enough.”
“Stephanie is amazing! She follows all of my instructions and is a natural with my Golden Retriever puppy. She takes very good care of him and treats him as her own. I would highly recommend her :)”
“Nina is so great! She is so quick to respond and was able to accommodate a very last minute meet and greet and drop in services for our pup! She is very communicative, sends great updates, and our pup loved her. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Alyssa was great! My kitties were so happy in her care. She is super reliable and dependable! Will definitely have Alyssa watch my cats again! Thank you Alyssa!”
“Alexis was wonderful. Very responsive and accommodating to what was a last minute request. Winnie took to her immediately and it was clear that she "knows" animals.”
“Mike did an excellent job of caring for my Elizabeth! He even washed out her little food bowls and gave her catnip! I highly recommend Mike! He's caring, responsible and goes the extra mile! Thanks for doing such a great job!”
“Katie was punctual, reliable and even accommodated a last minute change, which was so appreciated. Our dog seemed to enjoy his visit with her!”
“Ursula did a great job taking care of my Juno, and I came back to a healthy, happy, and well fed cat. She also was very patient with issues that we had with my building's concierge, which did not want to let her into my apartment (despite me granting her permission to enter) at a time when I had very limited ability to communicate to fix the problem. I would book Ursula again without hesitation.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, from hamsters to rabbits to cats and dogs! I’ve always been an animal lover who wants to keep your pet safe while you’re away. Comfortable with big and small dogs with any energy level! I can teach basic tricks but willing to try anything with your doggo! I work full time but am nearly fully remote (1-2 days in office but flexible). I’m able to take breaks for walks or cuddles at any time ! I’ll follow your direction on your pets safety but I have a pet friendly apartment with a dog run and wash station if they are staying with me!
“Madison took great care of our cats and exceeded our expectations! Would recommend her for your furry friends!”
“Rosa communicated well and our cats were very happy with her visits while we were away.”
“Great photos! I could tell my cat felt comfortable around him. My cat’s water fountain broke while I was gone so he put a bowl of water out for him instead. Thanks Ryan!”
“Kenisha was amazing! I was traveling overseas for 11 nights and needed someone to come in to check on my 3 cats, feed them and clean up after them. She was so sweet and caring and my cats were happy. Even my extremely shy one came out and let her scratch her head. I highly recommend hiring this beautiful soul to take care of your pets.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old and have been taking care of my neighbors, friends, family’s pets for as long as I can remember. I am truly the biggest pet person on the planet. And would love to make some extra cash doing my two favorite things (hanging with animals and going for walks)! I just graduated with my masters in speech language phonology, while I wait for a full time job opportunity I am completely free for all your per needs! I am a very responsible and caring person, your pet will be under very good care with me! I am always down to give my 100 percent attention to a pet!
