15. Shana S.
About: I’ve had my 3 fur babies since they were all 6-8 months old. 2 chihuahua mixes now 14 years old and 1 maltipoo that’s 12 years old! I am a huge pet lover and try to do my part in assisting with keeping them all safe. Currently, I have a full time job that takes precedence. Weekends would work out best for me to pet sit and care for your babies. Caring for you pet in your home would be as simple as me learning their routine. Allowing you to walk me through what works best for them and what you are comfortable with as well as what they are comfortable with. I am definitely okay with having a schedule or a list to follow.
16. Alejandro & Mariana D.
“I had a last minute trip out of town and the sitter that I typically use was out of town as well. I took a chance on this lovely couple and they were phenomenal. Not only did they jump into action and take a brand new client last minute, but they did not disappoint. My animals were happy and healthy when I returned home.”
17. Em Z.
“Emily is the best! She cared for my cat like it was her own, sending daily updates and pictures. I highly recommend Emily for any and all future pet needs.”
18. Corey G.
“Corey did an excellent job taking care of our cats while we were gone for a week. She came at the agreed upon time everyday, followed our instructions perfectly and sent pictures!”
19. Jennifer B.
“Jennifer did a great job looking after my cat while I was away. She kept in touch and sent photos to let me know everything was okay. Will definitely use her services again!”
20. Vannia H.
“Vannia has gone above and beyond for me and my fur babies. She’s prompt, they’re always excited to see her, she’s so loving with them and takes her time with them on their walks. They even get a couple surprises from her from time to time! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my doggos. Thank you for all you do Vannia!!”
