I can’t say enough great things about Camille! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She gave lots of love, attention, and playtime—and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Camille is reliable, kind, and professional—we will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch care. ★★★★★

Ricky did amazing! I have two dogs we rescued, little dachshunds. One of the boys we have can be loud, and aggressive. My partner and I were very anxious going into this fearful of any lash outs or boy could have. Ricky handled the my boys with tenderness and loving care. By the last day I was told my naughty boy was excited to see him come through the door for their daily walks. You’re amazing Ricky!

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life. I grew up with three dogs in my childhood home, and have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I currently have a sweet cat of my own and have experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, and some smaller creatures as well! I have experience providing overnights, vacations, and occasional check-ins for walks, play time, feeding, etc. I love all types of animals and have cared for many different kinds of breeds/sizes of pets. I currently work on weekdays 8:30am-4pm and am available on evenings and weekends for pet care! I offer in home pet care for overnights, vacations, and occasional check ins for walks/play time/feeding. I offer pet care services in the client’s home. My current lease does not allow for outside animals in my home. I have a strong attention to detail, and will make sure to keep litter boxes, feeding, and play areas clean. I also prefer having pet care services in the client’s home, as I find your pets feel more comfortable and safer in their own familiar environment. I find it important to build a trusting relationship with both the client and pet(s). I will always value communication and trust, and I am happy to provide any type of updates the client prefers!

Gianna was amazing. We were visiting from out of town and booked her pretty last minute. She came to meet our pup a few hours before sitting for her. She asked such good questions about how to best care for her. She was flexible about start and end times. We highly recommend her.

Great communication and attentiveness. First time in a while I’ve felt very comfortable with a cat sitter as she would check in and actively discuss the times she’d be there/not there. My cats are also naturally very shy, but warmed up to her very quickly which is a great sign in itself!

Paulina was a lifesaver for us and was able to accommodate a very short request period and provided excellent care. She continually reached out to us with pictures and videos of our puppy and let us know how the day was going. She had very appropriate questions regarding his care and completed all of our requests without issue. We're very lucky to have found her and appreciate the work she does!

Rico is amazing. I’ve used him for a couple sittings and he was punctual, great communicator, very attentive to my pups, sent updates, reached out if something needed attention, accommodated requests and changes and put my pups well being first (esp when one got sick while I was away, Rico called the vet and picked up medication that same day). I can tell he is doing a great job when I see just how much my pups smother him when he comes by - a true sign that he loves them and they can feel it. I’m so happy to have met Rico and look forward to future sittings with Jozi and Milo. Highly recommend Rico.

Working with Natania for looking after our dogs and cats has been really smooth. We have four senior animals, each with a particular wrinkle to caring for them, and Natania was super open to their needs. She obviously cares deeply for animals and is a very conscientious caretaker. We are very confident working with her again!

About: In highschool I was very popular in my neighborhood from doing there dog nails, to dog sitting, over night stays, and even medications. Even back in high school I had a part time and school and still made sure the fur babies were taken care of. To this day I still dog sit for my neighbor. I also worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months then i moved, I learned so much while I was there in that short period of time from learning to gain respect and how to control a group of 15+ dogs . And was in a animal science program in highschool with a mentorship at a clinic, then tried to go to college for my vet tech degree but too expensive(still paying that off). I also do have a very energetic German shepherd who I train every day she knows pretty much everything(sit, lay down, roll over,paw, other paw,high five, spin, heel, center, look, leave it, back up, and wait). I also dog sat for my boyfriend's coworker who had an older pointer who had a seziure not only did I comfort the dog but I called owner asap then vet, I then called off of work. Just because it's not my animal doesn't mean I will love them any less. But the take away from all that is I have a lot of experience in the animal department. I'm currently working part time and have a lot of free time on my hands and love being around animals . I only work wensday-saturday the other days I'm free. But as you can see with my profile I do have my own fur baby but my boyfriend never works nights or weekends so she won't be alone. For the pets at clients housing not only will I respond to you text asap even if I'm busy, I will also ask for guide lines and try to keep your dog on the schedule you have them on consistency is key, especially when a change like you leaving happens. I also am a big over thinker so before I let the dog out if you have a yard I will always make sure the gates are close and secure and make sure there's nothing laying out that would harm them. When I dog sit I imagine as if it's my own dog.

Ashlynn was great with our two dogs and their cousin, all staying at our house for the weekend. They absolutely love her, they took to her the minute she arrived when we did the meet and greet. They latched on to her upon her arrival for the weekend as well. I don’t even think they noticed we left, they were so captivated by Ashlynn. Great communication during the stay. We will definitely book with Ashlynn again if she is available.

Cassidy was great with our 5 month old puppy for a house sit while we had to be out of town for a few days. She sent pics and took him for walks and had plenty of playtime. She also left our house tidy - couldn’t even tell she was there. We’ll definitely have her back again!

Rene was great! My petsitter plans for the weekend fell through last minute, so I was happy to find her. We only adopted our pup 5 mo ago, &, being a rescue from a puppy mill, she is still scared of new people. But I knew Rene would have the patience & kindness needed for her. Rene stayed at the house, so my dog & cat had plenty of attention. And Rene kept in contact with me, including sending me pictures. She will be the one I contact next time I need a pet sitter!
