“This is my second time booking with Camille. My pets are always incredibly well cared for and receive the best updates so my mind is always at ease! 100/100 would book again!”
“Hanna was wonderful! She was responsive and took great care of our senior dog, including giving her medication on time and bring super patient on her slow walks. She stayed in our home and left everything even better than when we left. We would definitely use her again!”
“Rachel is everything you could ever want in both a cat and house sitter! She sent very thorough daily updates at the end of each night, along with a handful of great photos. Our cautious cat really warmed up to her and we can tell she took extremely good care of him!”
“Jamie was an amazing dog sitter! He took great care of our dog, especially when she had an upset stomach. He was also quick to respond and sent regular updates, we would book him again!”
About: Kind, caring, and here for you. I’m here to offer you the best service for your fur babies and your family.Walking, feeding, litter box clean, and overnight care is here for you. My main job allows me to offer late afternoon and evening services. Weekend anytime of day. Overnights since I work where the WiFi is. An open schedule for your family. I talk with you on what rules and rituals you do with your fur baby so we can keep things consistent for them. Like if you sing to your baby while feed them that can be done.
“Tim did a phenomenal job caring for my dogs and went above and beyond in every way. Here’s what stood out: • Took the dogs on longer and more frequent walks than required (with my permission) • Captured an incredible number of beautiful photos • Vacuumed the house • Watered my plants while I was away Tim is incredibly sweet, highly professional, and clearly cares deeply about both pets and their owners’ homes. I couldn’t recommend them more and will absolutely be hiring them again.”
“Lauren is an awesome pet sitter. Awesome doesn’t even begin to describe them. Lauren came in short notice while we were out of town during an emergency. They were able to not only take care of our puppy but our very socially picky cat. Salem really took onto Lauren which rarely happens with him. Lauren’s communication was great and photos were sent daily. I would trust Lauren to pet sit anytime and honestly to any of my friends.”

“Tony was responsive, friendly, and professional throughout our 9-day travel overseas, and provided daily photo and message updates. He was patient with our dog Tamale when she barked while he was gone. Tony even took her to the beach with his dog, which was a new adventure for her. I recommend him as a dog-sitter without reservation. Thanks, Tony!”
“Rachel is amazing! My Great Dane is quirky (but loving) and she took to Rachel right away. There is no doubt that Rachel loves dogs and has experience in loving and caring for them no matter their size and needs. She is communicative and responsible and it was a pleasure working with her. I will be booking her again! 10/10 recommend!”
