Hadija was so wonderful to my cat Beau! I asked for lots of updates and she delivered- I never had to wonder what he was up to or if he was doing okay! She clearly really cares for animals deeply and was so sweet and loving to him. She also left my apartment cleaner than when I left it!

Lesley was very personable and was very kind to our cats. She was extremely prompt and followed all instructions correctly, which was important as our cat requires her medicine at certain times throughout the day. She sent pictures with each visit, and also provided updates on how our kitties were doing. We appreciated all that Lesly did while we were away.

She was so easy to work with she really loves animals. She came last minute when I needed her, which is a big deal. She stayed with my Cats the whole night she took pictures. She gave them their favorite treats and she played with them.

On time and communicative. I was worried about being gone for a month but the cats seem to have done just fine with Kaitlyn's help, which was a big relief.

Elaine was awesome!! We were concerned with our 15+ yr old cat while we planned a week vacation. Elaine offered to stop by before we left to review our needs and took notes and pictures. This made leaving for our trip so much more relaxing. Elaine came exactly on time made sure Kitty had her food, water, and clean litter while spending proper time to make her feel she was taking care of. The pictures of each visit were a bonus. Will certainly reach out to Elaine in the future and highly recommend!

Nicole was awesome! She exceeded my expectation. She administered injections for my recently diagnosed diabetic cat who I was nervous about leaving. She sent pictures of him and sent me updates all along the way.He was comfortable with her and looked great while I was away. I would recommend her 100%!

Cristina takes really great care of our cats. They are shy ones but she takes time out to try and socialize with them and remembers the smaller logistics of the visit. Would want Cristina back!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I grew up in a home with Rottweilers, which taught me early on the importance of proper care, structure, and lots of love. Over the years, I’ve lived with rescue dogs and have also fostered dogs in the past, gaining experience helping dogs adjust to new environments and routines. Currently, I live in a home with a rescue St. Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog. While they aren’t my own dogs, I spend a large amount of my time caring for them, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I’m very comfortable with large breeds as well as dogs who may need extra patience and understanding. I’ve worked with many breeds and mixes, including Rottweilers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, French Bulldogs, St. Bernard, Labs, Doodle mixes, Pomeranians, Boxers, and a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I understand that every dog is unique, and I always aim to provide care that meets each dog’s individual needs while making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I work part time as a yoga teacher and have an open schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and weekend for daytime visits to take your pets out and on walks depending on what you need. I currently do not have any pets of my own which makes overnight stays to care for your pets easy. I will come to your home for to care for your pet and offer them the services you wish to have for them. Whether that be overnight stays, daytime dog walks, offering meals, or even just some outdoor playtime in your backyard.

About: I have had pets of my own since I was 13! In college, I became a professional dog trainer for PetSmart and puppy raiser for The Seeing Eye puppy raising program. Not only have I cared for a household of my own four pets, but have pet and house sat for many of my family, friends, and coworkers! My hybrid schedule at work gives me the flexibility to care for pets on lunch breaks and weeknights after 5pm as well as unlimited time to spend with your fur babies on the weekends! At home, I have two friendly large dogs, as well as a fenced in yard for plenty of exercise. Constant supervision is the most important thing to me when caring for your fur babies!
