Sasha is a very reliable pet sitter and we were in constant contact about my 3 guinea pigs throughout my two-week trip away. :) As a person who is anxious about leaving her guinea pigs alone, she was very sensitive to that and made sure that my worries were eased by providing updates and completing my day by day requests. She follows care instructions carefully and exactly. Daily guinea pig care can be a little messy, and I'm glad she was up for it! She took my last minute booking request, and we met prior to my departure to get through care instructions! Thank you so much, Sasha!

Amy is wonderful pet sitter. She is very responsible and punctual. Amy asked a lot of details about my cat and how to care about him. It was very easy to communicate with her - she sent a report about each visit (with photos) and responded promptly and in detail. I recommend her as a pet sitter.

Ali is an amazing, kind and compassionate animal advocate. Ali was more than willing to meet with me a few times before the visit to ensure that we both felt comfortable with her in care of our pets. She's thoughtful and very thorough when it comes to asking the right questions and assuring the pet owner's comfort. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.

About: I love all animals but I love dogs the most. From my own experience finding care for your dogs is hard. I want to help. I am passionate about helping owners find care for their dogs when in today's world all of our time goes to working. I want to help. I've lived in an apartment setting for 9 years. My large dog is walked on a leash daily and I take her to the dog park and walk her around town. I'd love to help those who need the same services my dog does. I work with large dogs and small dogs and can even arrange play dates if you'd like to find friends for your fur baby.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my whole life. I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats for family and friends. I have stayed at homes with the animals, taken them on walks, and just the normal caring duties for animals. I currently work full-time at a middle school. If close enough to my job, I can take the animal on a potty break if needed. Otherwise I am at work for almost 8 hours on the weekdays. My weekends are free! I will not accept dogs into my own home, but when at the clients home I accommodate to the pets needs whether that involves walking them, tying them up, or keeping them in a fenced in yard
