1. Han T.


“Max and Elizabeth are at their happiest with Han. It always puts a smile on my face when Han shares a picture of them with me. I feel better knowing they are both happy.”


2. Vinnie N.

“Vinnie is a fantastic sitter! He stayed with our dog Andy while we were gone for nearly 3 weeks. He sent lots of photos, daily updates, and went above and beyond staying with Andy during Halloween and Diwali celebrations since Andy is afraid of fireworks. He took great care of our house as well. Knowing Andy was in good hands with Vinnie allowed us to fully relax on our trip. We recommend him 1000% and will definitely rebook in the future!”


3. Misa C.

“I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Misa was an awesome caretaker for our dog. We are always worried when we leave our baby in somebody else’s care, but not with Misa! She sent many updates and was so easy to get in touch with if needed. We never had to worry about not getting enough information and it really allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. When we returned, our boy was happy as can be and so chill. I could not recommend Misa more highly and will absolutely be rebooking in the future.”

“Dolly was amazing again! She even gave mylie a little doggie facial with rosemary, chamomile, and frankincense to soothe her while she’s been under the weather. It was so sweet. She was also perfectly communicative. Would highly recommend!”

7. Riley B.

“Riley did an excellent job caring for our dog while we were away for the weekend. She left our home exactly as she found it, coordinated with us for additional coverage, and made sure our dog felt cared for and safe. We could tell that our dog had a great weekend because she was very relaxed when we returned. Thank you Riley!”

“I get a little nervous leaving my elderly dog with a new person, but Mae did an amazing job taking care of both my dog and me while I was away! I am so grateful to her - she was so enthusiastic, responsible, and easy to communicate with. She sent a ton of photos which I loved. My sometimes cranky dog even cuddled with her today, so Mae is welcome here anytime.”


12. Kelly B.


“Kelly was absolutely incredible! She watched our two cats and energetic puppy for a whole week and always kept us up to date on how they were doing through pictures and detailed texts. We can definitely tell she made them feel extremely comfortable while their parents were away and gave them lots of love. If you need someone who is responsive, caring, communicative, and can make your pets feel comfortable while you’re away, Kelly is fantastic. She will go above and beyond for you and your pets, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thanks for everything Kelly, we will absolutely be booking with you again. Migo, Liam, and Maggie already miss you!”

About: As a dog mom myself to an adorable almost 4.5 year old (not biased) mixed pup, i will take great care of your fur baby. I know how much my pup means to me so the same love and care will be reciprocated with your pup. I can walk, feed, play or just give them treats and belly rubs, whatever the pup wants... after all a happy pup=happy mom/dad. If there are any special requests please just message me and I will try my best to accommodate. I also have a leash reactive dog, so I am experienced with handling dogs that are reactive, and a big believer in positive reinforcement training. You’ll always see me walking with my treat pouch when walking the pups (but of course I’ll check with you first to make sure if they have any dietary restrictions). I work from home most days of the week, so able to accommodate your dog walking needs and flexible on weekends. I love walking my pup, and can’t wait to walk yours. If pet sitting at your house I can accommodate your pups schedule as I know how important it can be to maintain a schedule they are used to.

About: I have 2 cats I care for, for 6 years now. Should you trust me with your fur babies, I will provide excellent care for them! I am currently working part-time and would have plenty of times to petsit. However I will be available at night and on the weekends due to classes and work on weekdays. I feed my cats fish and wet food. Play with them to make sure they stay healthy. They are pretty independent as I have trained them to not overfeed themselves. I do know the basics of food dos and don'ts for both cats and dogs. But I will listen to customer and take notes over their individual pets health safety and concerns.
