3. Stephanie T.
“Stephanie has taken care of our two pups on multiple occasions while we were away. She always ensures to continue reinforcing our training and provides love and care to them. They get so excited every time they see her! She is their favorite person! She is easy to communicate with and always provides updates to us while we are away. Stephanie has pets of her own and they also get along great with ours! She makes ours feel like part of her family. She is such a kind hearted person and is a natural with animals! I highly encourage her services. I can guarantee both you and your pets will feel grateful.”

“My cats (Duck and Goose) are sooo picky about who they choose to approach, but instantly took to Celeste. She’s super communicative, kind, punctual, and made sure Duck & Goose were well taken care of while I was away!! I always have anxiety about leaving them but knew I could trust Celeste right away :) definitely only coming to her from now on when I go out of town. I had to extend my trip a few days and Celeste was super flexible in being able to modify our booking. Absolutely no complaints!!💓”

7. Danica M.
“Danica has helped to house sit & watch our dog Tachi, who is a big German Shepard that has been reactive on leash and has separation anxiety, on and off for a year now. Tachi absolutely loves her. She sends lots of updates and has taken her on hikes and to the beach which Tachi loves. We have never had any incidents with other dogs while Danica has watched her. Definitely would recommend. - Ed & Ann”

All the dogs and customers love him! Additionally, he watches over our family dog on a daily basis and when we are away. He is a trustworthy and responsible individual.”


15. shahrzad m.

“I want to leave a review for Shahrzad, who came to take care of my cats while I was away. She was incredibly responsible, always on time, and truly loved my cats. One of my cats is extremely shy and never warms up to anyone, but she actually bonded with Shahrzad, which was remarkable. I’ve had many cat sitters before, but I’ve never met anyone like Shahrzad. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pets while you’re traveling and want complete peace of mind, I genuinely believe Shahrzad is the best choice. I truly hope I can stay connected with her and that she’ll always be available to look after my cats whenever I’m away. The only thing that brings me peace of mind during my travels is knowing my cats are in her care. Thank you, Shahrzad, for everything you did for my two cats!”


16. Laura S.

“Laura was great! She kept me updated with photos and descriptive check-ins after each visit. She came a few days before to get familiar with my cat and his routines, and went above and beyond in caring for him.”


17. Caroline F.
“Caroline is great with animals and very responsible. I watched her care for a neighbor's dog when he was ill and was so impressed with her kindness and attention.”


18. Leila R.


“I had a last minute request since I couldn’t leave work and Leila responded quickly and saved the day!! Leila gave Sir Benjamin lots of attention & even went above and beyond cleaning out litter box & taking the trash out as well as bringing my packages inside! LOVE HER! I’ll definitely be picking Leila again the next time I need pet services!”


19. Shayna D.
About: Hello! My name is Shayna and I am a college student with a flexible schedule ! I especially love big dogs and cats. I have several years of animal shelter volunteer experience, and I also have pet sat large and small dogs, including a large doberman. I am not intimidated by a challenge and am willing to do whatever it takes to have a happy pet and satisfied owner. (letters of recommendation are available upon request) Morning Feeding: If you have a pet (e.g., dog, cat), you start the day by feeding them breakfast. This could be a quick task, but it sets the tone for the rest of the morning. Walk/Playtime: If you have a dog, taking them for a walk in the morning can be a great way to get some fresh air and fit in some exercise. You might also take 15-30 minutes for a play session or a brief stroll around the campus or neighborhood. Quick Check: Ensure your pet has everything they need for the day, such as water, toys, or a clean litter box. 2. Midday/Break Times Check-in (if not home): If you have a break between classes, this might be a good time to check on your pet, either through a quick visit home or by asking a roommate to help. Short Walk: If you're at home or near your pet, a quick bathroom break or some playtime can help keep them happy and prevent anxiety. 3. Evening Feeding: A second meal for your pet in the evening, along with fresh water. Walk/Playtime: Depending on the pet's energy level, a longer walk or play session might be needed in the evening to burn off any excess energy before bedtime. Clean-up: You may need to do some quick cleaning, like scooping the litter box for a cat, wiping down food bowls, or picking up pet toys. 4. Nighttime Final Check: Before heading to bed, you’ll want to check that your pet is comfortable, has access to water, and that their living space is safe. Prepare for Next Day: Depending on your schedule, you might prepare their meals in advance or set up anything you need for the next day's routine (e.g., dog leash, toys). 1. Pre-Visit Preparation Understand the Pet's Routine: Discuss the pet's feeding, exercise, and grooming schedules with the owner beforehand. Emergency Contacts: Ensure you have the client's contact information, as well as the vet’s contact details and any necessary medical information for the pet. House Instructions: Ask about any specific house rules (e.g., areas the pet is allowed in) and the pet’s preferences (e.g., favorite toys or spots). Key or Access Details: Arrange for house keys, security codes, or any other means of accessing the home. 2. Daily Care Routine Feeding: Follow the pet’s regular diet and feeding schedule. Measure food portions if necessary, and provide fresh water daily. Exercise/Walks: Take the pet on walks or engage in their preferred form of exercise (e.g., fetch, playtime). Bathroom Breaks: For dogs, take them outside for bathroom breaks as per their routine. For cats, clean the litter box daily. Grooming: Brush the pet regularly, especially if it has long fur. Trim nails or perform basic grooming as needed. Mental Stimulation: Provide enrichment through playtime or interactive toys, especially for pets like dogs or cats that get bored easily. Medication: Administer any necessary medications (oral, topical, etc.), following the client’s instructions. 3. Maintaining the Home Environment Safety: Ensure all doors, windows, and gates are securely closed, and the pet can’t escape or get into dangerous areas. Cleanliness: Keep the pet’s living area tidy—clean food and water bowls, pick up any messes, and manage any waste. Comfort: Make sure the pet has a comfortable resting area and sufficient warmth or coolness depending on the weather. Monitoring Behavior: Watch for signs of stress, discomfort, or changes in behavior, and report any concerns to the owner.
