“Emily is my go-to sitter whenever I have to go out of town. My cat loves her and she does a fantastic job with updates! Thanks for taking good care of my gal :)”
“We are so sad to be moving to the suburbs because it means we won’t have Nick watching our cat anymore. When we were away we knew our cat was getting the best care. It will be tough to find someone who matches his kindness and love towards animals.”
“Dylan was amazing. She really took the time to actually play with my cats and care for them for the entirety of her visits. She was nice enough to keep things clean and even take out my trash as well. Absolutely above and beyond and would recommend her to anyone looking. Definitely my new go to.”
“Marvin was Incredibly communicative! Followed all instructions to the letter and made sure my cat was well taken care of. Gave me a lot of peace of mind while on vacation!”
“It’s never easy leaving your pets at home when you go away on travel, but Carol truly gave me peace of mind the entire time I was gone. She had great communication and sent updates / pictures while I was away. Can’t recommend her enough and I will certainly book her again in the future!”
“Morgan has been such a wonderful Rover for our two cats! She is highly responsive and communicative. She has administered ear drops for our very *spirited* cats, and they still really like her :) We highly recommend Morgan!”
About: With my own 6-year old pug, Hank, I have ample dog experience. I am focused on the health and happiness of your pet because a happy pet is a happy life! Working remotely, I am able to spend time with pets mixed perfectly into my daily schedule. I can perfectly organize my schedule to balance your dog's needs! I balance my dogs needs by exposing him to many different activities both inside and outside the home. Within the home we utilize enrichment games and outside the home we explore parks and fun new places for him to run and sniff!
“Priscilla was the absolute best with my very shy pup. She was patient and understanding of his needs. Would definitely recommend her and would book her in the future!!!”
“Leila was such a great sitter for our two cats! She was kind and thorough, and I could tell that they had a great time whenever she came over. I’d absolutely trust her to watch Paloma and Mochi again!”
“Kendall is fantastic!”
“Natalie was amazing! So sweet to my puppy Gus and understanding of a quick turn request! I was a running a few minutes late home and she was so kind about it!”

“Yulia was extremely professional. She was available for a meet and greet, asked important questions, and followed instructions. Goldie, my sweet adult cat, is fighting a bad infection, gastrointestinal insensitivities, and must take four different medications. Yulia did everything perfectly. She took great care of Goldie and gave her all the pets and attention she needed. I would employ Yulia again without hesitation and highly recommend her.”
“Ricky was awesome with my cat, Leo! He went above and beyond to ensure my cat and my home were well cared for while I was out of the country. I really appreciated his daily notes on Leo and the pictures. My cat can be a little particular about who he likes, and he warmed up to Ricky right away. I’d absolutely love to have him watch my cat again the next time I’m away!”

Since moving, Evan still will drop in and watch him while I am traveling - sometimes up to 4 times a day. Evan is great with dogs, and mine gets super excited every time he gets to see him. I would highly recommend Evan for dog sitting, drop ins, or day walks, you will not be disappointed.”
