Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!

Patricia took such good care of our girls while we were on vacation! We received daily updates and photos and could tell how comfortable our girls were. We came home to happy girls and our home in good order. We would definitely use Patricia again, it's clear to see our girls love her and were well taken care of.

Bansi seemed to get along extremely well with our dog who can be reactive to strangers! She gave us a lot of confidence that he would be in good hands while we were away. Bansi was very responsive and great about keeping us updated throughout our trip. We would love to work with her again!

Leaving our Penny girl is always hard she is anxious and doesn’t like being away from her family, but with Abigail there she was loved and cared for and spoiled. Every chance she got she sent pictures and reassured us she was loving on our pup. I can not recommend her enough for the love and care of your fur babies!

Kaci was great! My dogs loved her, and my two cats that don’t normally like each other cuddled up on her lap together. 🥺 so she definitely brings along good vibes. She sent lots of pictures of my babies and kept me updated with their care. Absolutely will ask her to watch them again.

About: As an independent contractor, I make my own schedule. This allows me to operate on a very flexible calendar. In addition to being the go-to care taker for the pets in my circle, I also have a lifestyle that allows for me to go the extra mile and hangout longer, play more, and go for longer walks! I currently make my own schedule. So pet care fits in tremendously. I work as a freelance film and commercial laborer. Being in charge of my calendar allows me to schedule accordingly to take care of your pet! Having two cats of my own, while I can't house animals at my own residence, I am very familiar with the needs of pets. Playtime, treats, head scratches, and the like. I love every animal deeply and with a great respect. I treat every space with the utmost dignity and try to keep as small of a footprint as possible when entering someone's home. I have been house sitting, dog/cat watching for many years now. I look forward to ensuring you have an enjoyable, trustworthy experience when working with me.

Zach was such a blessing to us. He was so understanding and flexible with our needs and our old doggies and kitties love him. He was attentive and thorough with all our millions of instructions for taking care of our geriatric Great Danes with many health issues. He also took care of some things last minute for us that I had forgotten to do. It was such a relief to find someone we could trust to stay with our boys. Thank you Zach ❤️
