Charlie is amazing!! He took great care of our dog Kira, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and given lots of attention. He was attentive to her needs, especially given her sensitive stomach, and kept us updated with regular check-ins. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend! Let me know if you want any tweaks!

Andrew was great with Toby and Harley. He kept me updated on how they were doing. Sent photos and videos showing that all was well. Was excellent with Harley the more reserved of the 2. He has care and concern for the pets in hi his care. Both Harley and Toby enjoyed having Andrew as their sitter. I would recommend Andrew !!!!

I cannot recommend Leticia enough! It was evident that she has a genuine love for animals. She spent time with Ollie and Rain and made sure to follow my care instructions perfectly. I received regular updates and adorable photos that put my mind at ease. Her professionalism and attention to detail were impressive, and I truly felt that my pets were in the best hands. I will definitely be using their services again in the future! If you’re looking for a reliable and compassionate cat sitter, look no further!

Elissa was a great sitter for our 13 week old pup. She took her time to meet and get comfortable with our puppy. She was in constant communication with us throughout the day and sent us pictures and updates on her behavior. We felt really comfortable leaving her in our house and everything was kept neat and tidy. We would absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter.

About: I’ve been blessed to be a furbaby mama since I was 8 years old. I always had a special connection with animals being an empath, clairvoyant and a reiki healer. I can help heal your furbabies energetically with my hands & a lot of love. I’m always the one to walk my furbabies, play with them, feed them, and talk to them! I see them as souls in little bodies. They all deserve love. Love is healing. 🩷 I work part time on the weekends so in the middle of the week from tuesdays through thursdays, i can definitely make time to meet with your furbabies in any way you need! With my furbabies, I make sure I feed them, play & walk with them to have their exercise for the day. From time to time I do brush their teeth. I clean up after them all the time too or let them out to use potty. The energy healing is daily with cuddles, kisses and love!

Jennifer house sit with our dog for several days and was great to work with. I would highly recommend. When we came home we can tell that our dog was well taken care of and happy. She also took care of the house very well- and went above and beyond for us. She kept us posted and gave us updates on how our dog was doing and what he was up to. Our dog also had a recent minor leg injury and Jennifer was extra careful with him and followed our instructions well.

From start to finish, Gordon did an excellent job. He was right on time, took excellent care of my dog Pepe, and kept me updated with plenty of pictures that truly put my mind at ease.

About: I have direct experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience. I'm comfortable with feeding routines and administering basic medications. I ensure each pet gets the exercise and care they're accustomed to. What sets me apart is my attention and love! I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away! I’m home from college until July 24th, and I have a flexible, open schedule that lets me prioritize pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I make sure pets receive consistent attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding, exercise, and any medications if needed. I’m very mindful of safety, keeping pets supervised, ensuring environments are secure, and avoiding anything that could put them at risk. I also treat your home with respect, cleaning up after myself and your pet, and leaving everything neat and tidy. I also keep communication open with updates and photos! My goal is to create a stress-free, loving environment where your pet feels at home.

About: For a little over four years I've been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers when they go on vacation. I've researched all things related to dogs pretty much from the moment I learned to use a computer because I've spent almost all my life trying to convince my parents to get a dog. Spoiler alert, I was unsuccessful ): but not for lack of trying ("dogs are too big of a financial commitment" according to them... but four kids isn't??? but I digress lol)! Training has always been fascinating to me, it never fails to amaze me how smart dogs are! Overall I just love their energy and how loving they can be, being around dogs is truly therapeutic and does wonders for your mental health! You're so blessed to have one in your life and I would be honored to care for them (: <3 Sunday-Wednesday and Friday I work 7-3 and I’m off all day on Thursday and Saturday! Currently taking a break from school, so as soon as I get out of work I'll be free to devote my time to your doggies (: I live in a big apartment with a home office that I turn into the doggy room essentially although they are welcome to roam throughout the apartment of course! My neighborhood is very walkable (one of my favorite things about where I live) and I’m about a mile and a half away from like 3 parks!

Alexandra was just wonderful. She understood my cats and gave the best of care. She sent me pictures daily accompanied by funny tidbits about them. She stayed in my home for two weeks and when she left it looked exactly as it was when she arrived. I was so grateful for her superb care and kindness. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

In short -- Tina was amazing. Havok (my older, timid, small rescue dog) is usually worried about new people, but from the first moment they met i knew everything would be fine while i was away. Tina let Havok walk up to her and it was "friends at first sniff". Tina asked if it would be ok to sit on the floor with Havok for a few mins -- with small dogs this is a great way to gain trust, by meeting them at their level -- and Havok had a few more sniffs and climbed into her lap. Perfect! While i was away, i had many pictures throughout the days about their fun activities (walks and outtings), but also of feedings and cuddle time (Havok's favourite pasttime is cuddling on a friendly lap). With a heart murmur, Havok requires medication in the morning and at night -- Tina was more than ready to administer the necessary pills. Further, I mixed up the days I was going to be away, and Tina was able to make time for Havok for an additional day! Overall, i cannot say enough good things about the care my little dog received while i was away -- i knew at all times that Havok was getting love and care and this was an immense relief for me. Of course i will be booking with her again when i am away next and would encourage anyone needing a responsible, caring and professional dog sitter to do the same. Thank you again, Tina!

About: Dogs have always been part of my life. Big, small, and everything in between. Growing up with pups taught me how to love, care for, and understand their unique personalities. I love them all and can’t wait to meet yours! 😀 I have hybrid work environment so I'm home two out of the three days a week if needed. I'm free on most weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or in your home home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable atmosphere. I ensure regular exercise and playtime tailored to their specific needs and preferences, fostering both physical and mental enrichment. Additionally, I will strictly follow any dietary requirements. Constant monitoring of their health and behavior allows for prompt action in case of any emergencies, and I maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and pictures.

About: Animals are my happy place and I’ve been dog walking/sitting for five years :) I grew up with three cats and a German shepherd. As an adult, I now have my own kitty :) I started pet walking/sitting in college to earn extra money in a way that I enjoyed. Being around pets just makes my days better :) Please contact me if you want an experienced and loving dog walker/sitter (or cats!) with flexible hours. Before/after work and on weekends are my most available times :) but reach out to me for a more accurate version of my hours, thank you! Each pet is treated with care, love, and respect. The goal of my visits is to provide them with the attention and exercise they need while their owners are away

About: I love any dog from small to big. All my life I grew up with dogs so they’re pretty much part of my routine. I have dogs at home and they’re my best friends. I cant think of my life without them, and without being able to have such a special bond with them. I understand what It is to have a pet, and how they can become a family member or even a best friend. I would love to be able to meet more dogs, and learn more about any other dog that’s out there. I love to run, and be active so the dogs I walk will get a lot of exercise in. I cannot wait to meet your dogs and have fun. I’m currently going to school full time. I’m studying psychology and I study from home so I would love to take breaks in between to walk dogs and take a breather from school. I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs and working with them too. I would love to hear from you what works best for your pet. I would accommodate if necessary.

About: I feel comfortable attending dog of all ages and sizes. My experience in at vet clinic, provides me with confidence and knowledge in vet care allow me to respond in emergency responses with attention to detail. I work part time at a vet clinic, so I have freedom on Sunday-Wednesday. if true weekends are needed then I can request that time. I create boundaries with Owner and clients. Allow time to build trust rather than jumping into it with uncertainty. consistency shows respect on both sides.

Terilyn is absolutely wonderful! I have very shy dogs, and I was nervous about how they would handle a new sitter, but Terilyn was patient and intuitive. She came up with creative ideas to help them feel comfortable and safe in her presence. Her communication was top-notch; she sent frequent updates that really put my mind at ease. I’m so happy I found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, professional sitter!"

James was wonderful with Brio. Our much loved dog gets anxious and grumpy when we leave him in someone else's care, so we were delighted to see videos of Brio playing in the yard early in our trip. James was just the reassuring presence Brio needed! We were truly appreciative of his care, and look forward to having him back.

My husband and I just came home with 2 puppies and were worried for our first day back to work. Michael made sure we had nothing to worry about. He texted us all day, sent photos, updates, provided above and beyond care to our puppies and is the most caring and kind person. We are so thankful we found Michael and are so lucky to have such a wonderful person to watch our pups with full care and attention for our 10 hour work days. He makes sure our puppies are safe and loved and we would recommend him to anyone needing excellent dog care.

Julia may have been better with my animals than I am. She stayed with them for a week and didn’t have any problems. My 18 year old dog has senior issues and Julia was able to make him comfortable enough to eat while we were away. He also had no accidents in the house while in her care. Julia kept in contact with us the entire week. I have the utmost confidence that she would care for your animals in the same Loving way she did for ours.

Taina watched our dog for 10 days while we were on vacation and she was great! Our dog generally doesn’t open up to anyone quickly and always barks at strangers, but she let Taina pet her belly the very first time they met which was such a pleasant suprise lol. She was great with our dog and kept updating us on the latest with her. We’d hire Taina for our dog again!
