“Abby has been doing weekly visits for our dog, Trixie for about a month now. Trixie is a rescue who has a lot of anxiety and has had some issues with dog walkers in the past (she would hide and refuse to go outside). However, she loves Abby! Abby took the time to slowly get to know Trixie and didn't push her when she was nervous. She was just what Trixie needed.

“I can't say enough great things about Jacqui! They went above and beyond while checking on my dog, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands. Not only did they make sure all the basics were covered—food, water, bathroom breaks, but they also took the time to give my dog some love, playtime, and attention, which made all the difference. I got regular updates (including some adorable photos!), and I could tell my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It’s clear that Jacqui truly loves animals and treats them like their own. Reliable, kind, and completely trustworthy. I'd recommend Jacqui to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry family members. Thank you so much for everything!”

About: Hello！My name is Yiran and I come from China，I’ve always loved being around animals and caring for them is something that brings me real joy. I have about 3 years of experience dog sitting and walking, and over 5 years of experience with cats. When I was 16，I used to sit my aunt's dog all the time. I grew up with a British Golden Retriever, and when I turned 18, I got a Ragdoll cat who quickly became my best friend. I also have a lot of hands-on experience with small animals—I’ve cared for over 20 hamsters and 4 guinea pigs over the years. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. I take the time to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. （I'm also planning on getting a bunny！！） I currently have a 10-8pm full time job. I am always off on Tuesdays and Saturdays(full day care) And I'll be free sometimes even 6pm during normal work days. When I first got my baby Ragdoll，I flew to LA to the breeder's house，she took me in and gave me a huge handbook:about how to care for my baby cat，what food is good，what medicine to buy if she's sick，her daily routine，how to communicate with her...And I bought ticket，brought her on airplane with me flew back home. When it comes to my love for animals，I Will put as much effort as I can！ I know the basic routine and difference for cats and dogs，i know what food they shouldn't be eating，how to train them and how to calm them down if they are stressed.

“Arianna is great and River adores her. She provides helpful updates regarding her visits and is very responsive.
