“Our dogs can be nervous around new people and seeing how happy and relaxed they were when Maia came by for drop-in visits was such a joy! Getting photo updates and communication from Maia put our minds at ease, we are grateful to know they are in good hands with her and will be booking again.”


“Anais was a great sitter! I always feel more comfortable leaving my cats when I know that they are in the hands of a true animal lover, and Anais is definitely that. She was a great communicator and able to follow instructions on giving our special needs cat an inhaler dose every day. She event went above and beyond by trimming my cats’ nails! I would definitely book with her again.”


“Analicia was a fantastic sitter, responsive and reliable. Came home to find everything in its place and a happy cat. Would absolutely book again!”


About: I grew up caring for a variety of animals and love working with all of them. Dogs and cats of all breeds, personalities, and sizes are welcome for my services, including any other types of pets. I understand the body language of dogs and people walking dogs and can spot aggressive behavior. I also have experience with special needs dogs and handling dog-aggressive dogs. I also have veterinary assistance experience with cats and dogs that have medical issues and can adjust accordingly. I will follow the needs of your furbaby and respect their limits. I'm currently working part-time, but I'm more than happy to make time for your pet's needs as needed. However, there will be some working days when I can't walk dogs in the middle of the day With my previous experience in the veterinary field, I am capable of handling any medical or potentially serious issues that may arise. I will also always keep in contact with you if I notice anything out of the ordinary


“Cathy provided expert level service for my cat, Belle, while I was away for two weeks. She was a great communicator throughout the whole process and I left knowing Belle was in great hands. She sent me thorough updates with lots of pictures throughout the stay which I really appreciated! My apartment and Belle were both in great shape when I returned. Cathy even went out of her way to vacuum and clean up a little extra. I will definitely hire Cathy again and recommend her to anyone in need of a cat sitter or any other animal service for that matter :)”


“Korin was amazing with our dogs. They can be a little hesitant of strangers when they first come but she did an amazing job adapting to their personality and caring for them. Will book again!”

“I've had nothing but positive experiences with Kye watching my sweet, elderly pup Lulu. Kye has a gentle, warm demeanor with animals and people alike, and Lulu (who is normally quite shy and skittish) quickly grew to love spending time with him. He is communicative and responsive, has no problem handling Lulu's intense medication schedule (including administering topical eye medications three times a day), sends me cute pictures of my pup throughout, and always leaves my house even cleaner than when I left it. I highly recommend Kye to watch your pets, they will be in great hands.”

She is really in her element with animals as she is proactive about giving them plenty of attention and walks. We are so happy to consider her our primary go-to dog care taker. We’ve actually gone so far as to have her fly all the way out to our home in Hawaii… she’s that good!”
