“Kamiah and Casius were great sitters for Bailey. For me, it was a very last minute booking and Kamiah was incredibly accommodating to make it work. She was also very quick to contact us on the first day when Bailey wasn't eating (but everything was fine, as this is how Bailey always is at a new place), and Bailey looked very happy in the photos and videos we got each day. Also, Kamiah's pick-up and drop-off were prompt and efficient. I definitely plan to use them again!”

“This was my first time leaving Noodle since I adopted him. As soon as I walked in to the house, I knew he would be safe. I received daily updates about his stay for the time he was there. Noodle seemed like he had the best time and he was able to socialize with a family and other dogs. I will definitely be rebooking again!”

About: For many years, I have cared for my own pets, developing a deep affection and understanding for them. I have also provided loving and responsible care to other pets belonging to friends and neighbors. My experience in caring for elderly individuals has also enhanced my empathy and dedication. I am passionate about the well-being of animals and the peace of mind of their owners. I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide consistent care and maintain pets’ routines. I am available daily and can adapt to their feeding, rest, and companionship schedules. On Sundays, I attend church, and on some weekdays I may be out in the afternoon for short periods, always planning ahead to ensure pets are comfortable and well cared for. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment for pets. I keep spaces organized and free of hazards, always respecting their feeding, rest, and play routines. I supervise pets constantly and make sure they have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and attention according to their needs. My priority is for them to feel safe, cared for, and at home.

“Toya was a wonderful sitter. We had to shift our boarding days last minute from Fri-Mon to Thurs-Sun last minute and she was able to accommodate without a problem. She was also very responsive and would reply back to any questions or check-ins within minutes. We especially loved her family environment which I feel was very comforting to our Brick. He seemed very comfortable when he first arrived and upon pick-up from his 3 night stay. We will definitely use Toya’s services again!”

“I honestly cannot say enough good things about her. From the moment I met her, she was so warm, kind, and welcoming. She kept me updated the entire time with pictures and messages which gave me so much peace of mind while Prince was with her. She went above and beyond in the most thoughtful ways. She even made a little report card for him which was the sweetest touch ever. It’s clear she truly cares and treats the dogs like her own. Prince was so loved and well taken care of. I would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone genuinely kind, attentive, and amazing with dogs.”

“We couldn’t have had a better sitter for our lil Mochi. This was our first time using Rover and leaving our COVID pup with a sitter while we attended my sister’s wedding. Sharett was so friendly, attentive, and caring. She sent regular updates, gave him lots of love and long walks, and even worked with his nervousness around other dogs. I would happily leave my pup in her capable hands again. Thanks, Sharett!”
