“We are so lucky to have found Liani. She is very bright and gave us so much comfort. Her visit summaries were written perfectly and gave us a great perspective of how our boys were responding. Liani is wonderful and a rare find. We look forward to her looking after our boys in the future.”


“Paola was extremely attentive to our energetic dog and made sure that he was well taken care of during our time away! We highly recommend choosing Paola as a sitter. She’s a genuine animal lover, and made sure to meet my doggy before we went out of town. Also, she took photos of Bluey every time she visited which always warmed my heart. I’m highly satisfied with Paola’s services and I feel more than content with having her watch my baby again in the future.”



“Sherry did a great job checking in on our dogs while we were away for the day. She is the best photographer and caught so many pictures of our furry friends that I saved a bunch to my camera roll. She cared enough at the the end to make sure we knew hoe to easily get a hold of her if we tan into a problem and would not make it home. It was just the best experience. We will book with her again for sure.”


“Stephanie was absolutely patient and so accommodating! She really helped us out. She was very friendly! I definitely would choose to have her help us again with our cat babies!☺️”


“Tristan was amazing 🤩 He was very communicative and kind. The dogs warmed up to him quickly! It was comforting to know that he cared for our fur babies just as we do. We appreciated the sweet photos of them and the wonderful updates. Tristan is AWESOME!!!!!”


“Zainab is AMAZING!!! She truly is awesome. She has great energy and from the meet and greet she vibed with my dog and cat. You can tell she has a true passion for the fur babies. Her communication was top notch. She kept me constantly updated and I am beyond grateful that I found her. Thank you for taking care of my fur babies. I would HIGHLY recommend Zainab. I look forward to booking with her again!”


“Leylah could not have been a more perfect sitter for our two cats. She takes LOTS of photos so you have a great impression of how everything is going while you are gone. Everyone knows how stressful it can be to let a stranger around your loved animals. Leylah took all of the anxiety out of that experience and allowed us to know that someone we trusted was there while we were away. We will 100% be returning customers.”


About: I have worked with a variety of animals including chickens, dogs, cats and horses. I treat every animal like my own. With an eye for detail I will be the most attentive to the animals you call family. I am a college student and taekwondo lover looking to make some extra cash for the summer and upcoming fall semester doing something I love. Seeing as I am setting my own schedule this is perfect for me. Every instruction provided will be followed to the letter and anytime you want to check in you are encouraged to. I will care for your pets as I do my own like family. I will listen to the animal and contact you if anything appears concerning or out of the ordinary.

“Kaylah was honestly the best I could’ve asked for. My animals were well taken care of and they enjoyed their time. She was reliable, responsive and provided pictures daily”


About: I’ve cared for my aunt’s dog while she was on military leave and we were the best of friends! I’m familiar with walking, cleaning up after, and keeping animals fed. I also love to have fun, so your pet will not be bored! I can give lots of attention and care for any pet I’m with. I’m currently a college student taking online summer classes, and I’ve got the spare time to care for any pets throughout the week! My availability is open for just about most days! When visiting your home, I can ensure the comfort and happiness of your pet in a familiar environment and meet all their needs. When walking, I will always keep a close eye on pets and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while we are out.

About: I've been volunteering with animal shelters for the past decade and have ALWAYS had a pet of some sort. Large dogs are my favorite but I've fostered and owned cats and small breeds as well. Let me treat your fur baby like family! I tailor each pups schedule to their needs. My senior pup Hoover has a low impact routine while my 6 year old Mumba gets regular hikes and 2+ mile walks throughout the week to keep up with his breed and energy needs. I have a fenced in yard at home and go to local parks often. I understand some dogs with anxiety or reactive behaviors need less stimulation so I visit areas during non peak hours. By starting with a leashed walk in a comfortable area, I learn the dog's temperament and slowly introduce them to new people or dogs.


“Christina was excellent to our Nola. She took great care of her when we needed and she was extremely attentive to her. We can home to happy puppy everyday. Thank you Christina for all that you have to help our family”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with real, daily hands-on experience caring for my own 7 dogs at home.

What sets me apart is the premium, safe, and transparent experience I provide: 🐾 Optional Live Camera Access – Want to check in anytime?

About: My love for animals is newer, but as genuine as it can get! I recently got my first pet, a domestic shorthair kitty, and have fallen in love with furry friends! I’m looking to spend as much time with animals as much as I can nowadays, as they bring me so much joy and companionship. I’m best suited to do drop-in visits and boarding! I WFH full time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. However, I’m most available during the night and weekends to do drop-in visits. I can accommodate whatever times work best for you! I have a variety of cat trees, scratching posts, beds, and toys to make for a comforting environment to host furry friends. I allow pets on my furniture and try my best to make any visitor feel at home. At client’s homes, I’m sure to provide great care such as cleaning the litter box, vacuum or sweep if needed, replenish food/water, and of course love on their pets while they’re away.

“Amber was amazing! She was attentive, kind, and gave our pups so much love. She cleaned up the house and brought in all our packages without even being asked. We will definitely be booking with her again for any future trips. Thanks Amber!!!”

He had plenty of safe space to run, play, and rest. The sitter was communicative and patient, offering the live camera option for an extra fee, which was so worth it. After a full 7 days, he came home happy and well-exercised!”

Kristi is amazing! I can’t even count the number of times we’ve booked her. Everything is done to perfection and she adds sweetness to each visit or stay. Not only do I love the way she loves my animals- she is just an amazing human. Thank you for all you do for our babies!

Mallory did an excellent job taking care of our dogs while we were away! She provided frequent updates and photos, which allowed us to fully enjoy our time away, knowing Asa and Emmy were in great hands. She was reliable, communicative, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our little ones were well taken care of. We will definitely be booking her again in the future!
