“Amazing communication and loving care of our doggos”
About: I’m responsible and patient and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality, quirks, and needs. Whether it's a high-energy dog who needs constant playtime or a senior dog who prefers cuddles on the couch. Basically, I treat every dog like they're my own I’m will be taking classes at nova in the fall but I will be home most of the day. Until the fall classes start I’m available almost everyday. I have a huge fenced in yard and two dogs that can keep your pup company. As well as if your dog loves to swim we do have a salt water pool.
“Ella was fantastic! She took excellent care of our senior lab and was super communicative. Highly recommend picking Ella to care for your pups!”
About: I have always had pets in my life since I was little, always taking care of family dogs and cats. Friends have relied on me to watch and take care of their pets. I am currently working as a teacher, so I am not available to be with your pups Monday-Friday during typical school hours but am always happy to come home to happy pups and stay at the house over night! I want to care for pets in whatever way and environment they are most comfortable, earning trust from the start. I love going on walks (long or short, whichever the furry friends prefer) and am always up for some play time or snuggles.

Paige C.
“I hired Paige to watch and walk my two little beloved dogs. She was so sweet when she got to my house. She got down to their level let them smell her hands (tails begin to wag) she talks all cute to them and got them all excited to go for a walk. (At this point I felt like I don't think my dogs are going to like when we go for a walk.) She comes back and they both are just so happy and playful. I couldn't believe it. So I figured FLUKE..my dogs are not traitors! So we went away for a weekend and hired Paige...yeah I was wrong. My dogs loved her. She gave them treats, fed them, walked them 2 or 3 times a day. We got home a little earlier than expected but she showed up anyway and said "Oh no, I promised them we would go for one more walk before dad and mom comes home." At this point I realized that if I ever have to go anywhere, I could just call Paige and see if I can get on her calendar. She was always very accommodating, so very good with my dogs and other dogs in the neighborhood. I would hesitate for a second to hire here again. Thank you Paige!”

Jing Q.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Jing Qin as a pet sitter and dog walker! She has taken care of both my dog and cat on several occasions, and I couldn’t have asked for a more loving, responsible, and attentive caregiver. Jing has a natural connection with animals — my shy cat warmed up to her faster than to most people, and my energetic dog absolutely adores their walks together. What sets Jing apart is her calm, gentle presence and her ability to tune into each animal’s unique needs. Whether it’s making sure a picky cat eats or giving an anxious dog extra reassurance, she always goes the extra mile. She keeps things clean, follows routines exactly, and is great at updating me with photos and messages so I know my pets are happy and safe. Jing is not only amazing with animals, she’s also incredibly respectful, communicative, and dependable — everything you’d want in someone caring for your beloved pets. Any cat or dog would be in excellent hands with her, and any pet parent would have peace of mind.”
