“Avi was great!!! I was worried about leaving my pet, and she made the experience great. Levi was very comfortable with her and even gave her kisses, which he only does for certain people. She had another commitment that interfered with her visit and she came quickly to let him out and came back again later to feed him. She is awesome and I am booking her again. You will not be disappointed in having her watch your furry loved one. She is very trustworthy and responsible, and she followed my directions perfectly. It made my trip so much less stressful. Great job Avi!!!!”

About: I've had my own pets since 1991. I had a rabbit and dog in college and have learned over the decades how to best care for our friends. I've just retired from a busy career, so I know how important it is to find someone to care for your animals when you're away; even if it's just the gym or happy hour after work. I've fostered for several area rescues and know folks have a different idea of appropriate care. I only use fear free methods, because our animals need to know they can trust us. I've had young high energy dogs who need play and long walks and I've cared for my dogs in their last years when they needed additional care or special medical needs including pills, dressings, eye drops and carrying older dogs who aren't as mobile anymore. I would love to get to know your pets and help you give them the best life. I'm currently retired and searching for part time employment. I don't mind early or late night visits since our dogs don't have a 9 to 5 schedule. I do have an active social and volunteering schedule but it's flexible enough to accommodate your needs. I have cared for many dogs who need to be crated or who are door dashers and escape artists. I have a calm energy that helps put pets at ease. I'm a fan of high value treats to make the crate a special place. My personal dogs are crate trained but I know that's not for everyone.

“Alex was fantastic with my dog, Nate! Nate can be somewhat unruly with other dogs. Alex was keen on listening to how Nate's been trained and (IMHO) had the calm demeanor that people and dogs like Nate want in a dog walker. He also communicated well and followed through on everything he signed up for. Thank you, Alex!”


“Megan is amazing! She was very accommodating and flexible! Fast response time and my dog Ruby loves her! I would highly recommend Megan and we will definately be having her over again!”


“I would recommend Lindsey to anyone needing a pet sitter! She was communicative, prompt, and followed instructions. I got lots of pics and updates and I could tell my kitties were happy and well taken care of. Thanks again Lindsey!!”


“Emily continues to watch my little girl and I’m more impressed with her each day she does. Always focused on my pup and keep me informed of everything she does! I will continue to use her and if anyone asks, am more than willing to recommend her!”
