1. Maria A.

“My dog Euka is large, energetic, and high anxiety, which can make walks challenging. Not only did Maria handle Euka with ease, but she also gave him his medicine without issue. Maria took Euka on a long 2 hour walk visiting several parks where he played in the grass. Euka is a bit of a sneaky escape artist, but Maria managed him perfectly ensuring he was safe and secure. I enjoyed the updates and clever photos, I would highly recommend Maria with full and complete trust. Thank you Maria!”


2. Mariah W.
“Mariah was very reliable, and ensured my pups were very well taken care of over one of the hottest weekends of the year. Definitely recommend! Thanks, Mariah!”


3. Jahquan F.


“Jahquan was a great sitter for our two dogs. We had him do multiple check ins during our few days away and throughout that time he was very nice and had great communication. I would definitely use him again in the future!”


4. Melanie P.
“Melanie is an amazing house/dog sitter! We needed someone to watch after our two Basset Hounds due to a last minute trip. Melanie was recommended by a friend and our babies loved her! She was very attentive and caring, we will definitely be calling her back in the future!”


5. Courtney A.

“Courtney was amazing! My dog loved her and I felt comforted knowing she was in good hands during her drop-in visit. Would definitely recommend her ☺️”


6. Victoria S.
“Vic has been an animal lover from the day they were born. Having grown up with dogs and horses, they spent hours caring for, feeding and loving on them like family. As an adult, Vic has had cats and dogs and has been our go-to to care for our Husky, cats, fish and occasional foster rabbit or other pets in need when we have been away from home. Vic is a compassionate, organized, and responsible person who will treat your pets as their own.”


7. Shanley D.

“Shanley was able to come to my house twice a day and care for my kitties. I really appreciated the communication and the care she gave while I was gone. I would hire her again!”


8. Wendy & Christopher W.
“Wendy has watched my dogs many times and has given them the utmost love and care they have had by a sitter. I still use her on a regular basis. For my family, it is important to not worry about my pets while we are away and we do not worry when Wendy is watching them.”


9. Melecia R.
“Melecia is very kind & loves animals. Jingles goes crazy knowing hes about to go on a long walk with Melecia. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a friend for your fur baby.”
10. Lori B.
“Lori was incredible! She is great at communicating and provided great care for our two kitties. We will definitely ask for Lori’s help again!”


11. Melissa & Nicholas W.


“Melissa took such excellent care of my zoo. She was very communicative and sent photos everytime she was at my house. My cat Brutus can hardly wait for her to come back :) Amazing experience.”


12. Haven G.

“Haven is hands down the best pet sitter Luna has ever had. She has a deep understanding of cats and their need for space, allowing Luna to approach her at her own pace. By the end of their time together, they were inseparable—a remarkable feat given that Luna is a shy cat who rarely lets anyone pet or cuddle her. Haven not only earned Luna’s trust but even had her falling asleep on her lap. Her thoughtful approach stood out from the start, offering an introductory visit that showed her sweet and friendly energy. She was incredibly patient and loving with Luna, and she treated my home with great care and respect. I’m so impressed with her kindness and professionalism, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”


13. Kendra P.

“Kendra is just amazing! We love when she is available to stop by or stay over with Maple!”


14. Learsy R.
“Lesrsy es bien responsable con las mascotas, las trata con mucho amor y cariño. Ha cuidado mi yorkie varias veces. Me mantiene al tanto de las cosas que hace mi perrito, me envía fotos y a mi regreso mi perrito Teddy no se quiere separar de ella. La recomiendo 100%”


15. Elenys D.

“Elenys was AMAZING!! I cannot be happier with the care she provided to my fur babies! She is very responsible, responds quickly and efficiently, and is super friendly! My boys absolutely adored her! She goes above and beyond! My little guy is a rescue who can be very timid and she took her time with him and completely won him over!! I would highly recommend her! I honestly felt completely relaxed because of her constant updates and pictures! Thank you again Elenys! Sirius and Albus love you 🥰”

About: I love hanging out with cats. I promise to heap lots of love and affection on them. I try to engage with them if they want attention and love, but I also respect a cat's need for autonomy and privacy. I'm currently working part-time at home and can heap lots of love and affection on your cat if they want love and affection. I'm also chill if your cat just wants to chill and be left alone. If I am in your home, I am respectful, careful, and meticulous. I will respect a scared cat or will hang out with a cat that needs some love and time. If I am housing your pet, I have a fenced yard and a large, open home. The house is safe and cat friendly.


17. Leihanna M.
About: I have nearly 5 years of experience primarily caring for dogs, ranging from Maltese to Malamutes – no dog is too big or too small to receive my love. My passion involves playing, cuddling, and providing ample affection to every pet I meet. Additionally, I've successfully trained several headstrong pets, achieving remarkable results. If your pet needs training or positive exposure therapy, I'm here to help. My own Shitzu poodle mix pup, Maybach, is a 3-year-old sweetheart whom I've trained extensively due to his exceptional intelligence. We both enjoy running in the yard and going on long walks. I'm excited to meet your pet and share loads of fun together! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I prioritize giving my own the attention, exercise, and care they need, whether through long walks, play sessions, or training time. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each of their needs, ensuring consistent, loving care throughout the week. In my homey pets do like to free range it so they have their full bowl of the day and plenty of water jugs for them to drink out of. They have a huge fenced space for exploration and to get out their zoomies that they never seem to run out of. For a clients home, I follow what ever instruction is given to me. I also ask and communicate if there’s anything needed, added or taken away from whatever care it is I’m providing.


18. Jasmine C.
About: Drawing from my own personal pet care experience, I've come to understand that caring for animals goes beyond just fulfilling their basic needs. It's about creating a special bond built on trust and companionship. From feeding and grooming to playtime and cuddles, each interaction becomes a cherished moment. Additionally, being attuned to their unique behaviors and ensuring their health through regular check-ups adds an extra layer of responsibility. Ultimately, my pet care experience has shown me the immense joy that comes from nurturing and being a true friend to my furry companions. With my current part-time schedule, I have ample availability in the mornings to dedicate to comprehensive pet care. This flexible arrangement allows me to focus on providing attentive and responsible attention to pets during their crucial morning routines. Whether it's feeding, exercise, grooming, or simply offering companionship, I can ensure that pets under my care start their days on a positive and nurturing note. When caring for pets in a client's home, I adapt to their familiar surroundings, minimizing any potential stress. I meticulously follow their routines, ensuring consistent feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any necessary medication administration. I make it a priority to maintain open communication with pet owners, providing updates on their furry companions' well-being and any noteworthy observations. Regardless of the setting, my overarching goal remains the same: to create a positive, safe, and nurturing experience for pets, fostering their health and happiness.
