Nexsy was incredible. She helped on short notice and still snuck in a meet and greet. Polite, kind, and very understanding of our dogs. She went above and beyond during the time she spent with them by doing some helpful behavioral training. We felt they were in safe and capable hands. Highly recommended!

Sammy cared for our pets several full days and nailed their routines and playtime. She texted updates and sent pics regularly. Our dog and cat are quite needy and Sammy made them feel secure and happy. We felt relieved and assured they were in great hands, and she willingly took care of minor home issues that came up. Her experience and love for pets - both dogs and cats, was evident.

About: Even before my family adopted our beloved cat, Tiger, and dog, Uschi, — who lived to be 17 and 18 years old respectively — I was my neighborhood’s go-to pet sitter starting at age 8. As an avid traveler, I have understand how stressful it is to leave your beloved furry family behind, especially when they have special needs. Whether leaving town for a well-earned vacation or tending to urgent family matters, it’s imperative to have peace of mind that your pet is in loving, caring hands. I provided solo care for my geriatric cat and dog in the final year of their lives and truly experienced the range of treatment requirements that often occur. Without the trusted help of family and friends, it would have been impossible to take necessary work trips during that time and I seek to provide the same care to whomever I can. While this stage of my life doesn’t allow me have another cat or dog, I hope that I can bring my skills to help your family when you need! I am in a transitory period between jobs (overseas) and am thus at the disposal of your pets’ requirements. Every animal requires different intervals of care and I can accommodate almost anything. I can do just about anything your pet needs: crating, administering meds, putting a diaper and suspenders on (as I did for my sweet dog)… you name it, I have either done it or can easily learn. It is important that their routine and care continues even in your absence!

Elena stayed with our pup, Dolly, for 2 nights while we were away. Wow! What a great match for our girl! We felt comfortable after the meet and greet because of her calm and loving approach. The photos and videos were a welcome update on their daily activities. She handled our leash reactive pup with no problem on many walks. We do not hesitate to recommend Elena and will be contacting her again to care for our dog. 🐶

We had a great experience leaving our pup with Shea! She stayed in our home, and we could barely tell she'd been here when we got back (the main sign was clean dishes in the dishwasher!) - very respectful of our home. She sent us daily photos and updates, which is always reassuring. We would definitely have her back, and would recommend her to others. 😊

Rachael is a total natural with dogs. From the moment she walked in, our dogs responded positively to her warm, easygoing vibe, and we just knew we had made the right choice. Rachael was highly responsive to messages and provided multiple updates (with pics!) that showed us that she clearly “got” each of our dogs’ personalities/quirks. I don’t even thinks the dogs missed us, they were too busy basking in the attention of their sweet new friend who ensured they had the predictable comforts of their daily routines. Rachael was everything you could ask for, from someone staying in your home with your precious pets.
