“We hired Alex at the last-minute and we couldn't be more happy with the person we found and the care our pets received. She was prompt, thorough, and - most importantly - loving with our animals.”

“Thanks for being so thorough and thoughtful with our cats and our home, we really appreciate it! It really allowed us to relax and not give it a second thought knowing everything was being taken care of while we were away.”

“Our super-shy kitty warmed up to Ashley quickly! She was great about sending pictures and updates, and we feel lucky to have had Ashley take such good care of our pet.”


“Seana was so attentive to our shepherd while we were away on vacation. She made sure she was well taken care of and kept us at ease by sending many pictures of our girl looking happy and playing. We will certainly book Seana again in the future! She even cleaned our floors when it got dirty from our dog going in and out after it rained! She’s the best!”

“Peggy is a life saver, as I often need last minute drop in’s. She’s always on time, takes time with my pups to love them up a bit and leaves them out . She’s the best!”

“Lindsey S. did a great job looking after our 13-year-old kitty for two weeks. From the pictures she sent, it looks like Louie was having a great time with her. We'll schedule Lindsey for our next trip soon!”


“Abigail is an amazing kitty sitter! She really went above and beyond to make my shy cat comfortable. I came back to a clean house and happy cats. Will definitely hire again!”

“I have been very happy to have found Rebecca. She is extremely caring and a true dog lover. She’s very reliable and makes my life much easier. I have great pleasure working with her and will definitely book her again. I highly recommend her service. Your dog will love her.”


“Mellony was a perfect cat sitter for our cats while we were away for a week. She took great care of our two cats by feeding them, cleaning up after them, and making sure everything was in order. We originally book one 30-minute visit per day, but Mellony generously offered to come twice a day for 15 minutes each visit so that both cats would get extra attention-without changing any additional fee. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in such caring and reliable hands. I highly recommend Mellony and would definitely give her 5stat rating for her outstanding service! Thank you Mellony!!”

“Carly treats my dog as she would her own. She’s patient toward my shy pup and puts in extra effort to make her comfortable. I feel very assured Layla is in great hands when I’m working and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”

“Thank you so much! We will definitely be using Clarissa again. She was great and helped clean up a mess our cats made. She’s very responsive and made our first experience with a sitter a good one!”

“Lisa did a great job of caring for our kitties. She even watered my flowers in pots as asked. We enjoyed seeing the photos from her visits and appreciate her help!”

“Sabrina is kind, calm, and gentle. We have 2 pets that are shy and skittish around new people, but Sabrina was able to get them to come around and feel comfortable. We'll definitely ask Sabrina to take care of our fur babies again!”

“Ruth was great with our dog! She took great care to address our dog’s needs, sent cute pictures and was responsive to all of our requests/questions. Thanks Ruth!”
“Brady did an excellent job caring for our pets while we were away. I was a little nervous leaving them since we recently moved and our German Shepherd Dog recently tore her CCL and this was their first visits with Brady. We had nothing to be concerned about though as Brady was so attentive and careful. She kept us in the loop with detailed reports, lots of photos and spent extra time giving love and attention to both our dog and our cat. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Julie was lovely! She sent adorable photos everyday along with a nice message about how Momo was doing throughout our trip. This was my first time leaving my pet with a stranger and she made the whole experience so easy and wonderful. I will 100% be rebooking with her!”

About: I've spent the last 15 years caring for dogs of every size - from tiny lap dogs to larger breeds - while regularly sitting and walking my parents' pups. I know that a Great Dane and a Chihuahua need very different things, and I'm comfortable handling both with confidence and patience. I'm also experienced with cats: when my sister and her family spent 10 days in Italy, I came by twice a day to feed their two cats and keep their litter box clean, so their pets never missed a beat while they were away. For the last 4 years, I've owned Hiro, a Shiba Inu rescue from the SPCA; he's wonderful with other dogs, but is reactive and distrustful of strangers. Through consistent basic and behavioral training, I've learned firsthand how to read stress signals, manage triggers, and build trust with a dog who needs a little extra patience - skills I bring to every pet I care for, reactive or not. Living with Hiro has taught me a level of attentiveness and calm energy that I think any pet parent would want in a walker and drop-in. Whether your pup is a laid-back senior, a bouncy puppy, or has their own quirks and triggers, I'll treat them like family. I'm reliable, communicative, and happy to send photo/status updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Weekends (Fridays-Sundays): Available anytime. Weekdays (Mondays-Thursdays): - Mornings: 06:30 until 07:30 -Evenings: 19:30 until 21:30 Weekends (Fri-Sun) I am usually free all day with the exception of some personal appointments on Fridays. On weekdays (Mon-Thurs), I'm available for early morning visits (06:30-07:30) or evening visits (19:30-21:30) - great for shift workers, healthcare professions, or anyone with early/late schedules! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own - following your routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions closely, and never leaving anything to guesswork. My approach is calm and structured, which comes naturally raising Hiro, my reactive Shiba Inu; I'm well practiced in reading stress signals, giving pets space when they need it, and creating a secure, low-stress environment for animals of all temperaments. I communicate openly and often, with photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether I'm in your home for a drop-in, or taking them for a walk, I make sure the environment is secure, hazard-free, and set up for your pet to feel relaxed. You can trust that your dog or cat will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
“Richard was great with communication, pictures and updates during our trip. He was very professional, came and checked everything out ahead of time. Our cat obviously trusted him right away which is no easy feat. Thank you!!”

Carly is amazing and I highly recommend her!! She took care of our cat Madison while we were away and also brought in our mail and kept an eye on some of my outdoor plants! We didn’t have to worry about anything while we were gone! We will definitely book Carly again!
We felt very comfortable with Brady watching our two cats, Liam and Samson. Brady provided updates and pictures of our boys and we could tell she really enjoyed watching them. One thing to mention, our cats tend to be anxious when we are away from them for any longer lengths of time, however when we got home they seemed totally normal and calm. This makes all the difference knowing our boys were well taken care of. We will definitely book Brady again.

Julie was outstanding! She is so friendly and calm, and was very professional at every stage. I felt completely comfortable leaving her in charge of my six cats. I left a lot of instructions and they were followed perfectly. I even got a nice report every day, including pictures of each fur ball. We're not used to getting updates when we have a pet sitter, so that was a nice touch. All of the cats seemed happy and relaxed when we got home, and the house was locked up tight and looked exactly how we left it. If Julie is ever willing to watch six cats (and clean six litter boxes!) again, we would feel very lucky to have her help. Thank you so much again, Julie!
Mellony was a perfect cat sitter for our cats while we were away for a week. She took great care of our two cats by feeding them, cleaning up after them, and making sure everything was in order.

I highly recommend Mellony and would definitely give her 5stat rating for her outstanding service! Thank you Mellony!!

Ailiya was absolutely wonderful with my two kitties. She was communicative, fast at responding, caring, and gave great attention to detail. I found her to be very trustworthy and my two cats were happy and well cared for in my absence. They probably want her back for all the love and extra treats they got!

Lesly was fantastic! She was always prompt, reliable, and very communicative, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our two dogs absolutely loved her and quickly looked forward to their twice-daily walks. We appreciated the updates and could tell our pups were happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Lesly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!

Rhonda has been absolutely fantastic! She kept me informed and sent pictures through the 2 weeks. She was clearly invested in making sure both my pups were eating, getting snuggle time and the different levels of exercise they each require. If you are looking for a temporary dog mom to replace you - Rhonda is GOLD! We are truly grateful for her frequent communication, her ability to roll with any ‘hiccups’ (dog knocks over everything in the bay window;), and just genuinely get to know their personalities and cater to them. We cannot recommend Rhonda highly enough!
