“Jon was great. I had to schedule last minute and he took great care of my dog. Sent photos making me feel comfortable while I was away. I’ll definitely work with him again.”
“I was so nervous finding a new sitter for Bella since she can be a bit quirky. Nathalia was so sweet, kept me up to date on what they were doing, and sent great pictures. She went above and beyond for us! Thank you so much, we can’t wait for the next sit :)”
“Nicole was the absolute best choice to watch our dog when we had to go out of town overnight. I was nervous to leave him but Nicole was super communicative, treated him like her own pup, and took excellent care of him. We feel SO much better knowing we have Nicole as an option for dog sitting when we go out of town.”
“Katie and Zayn were the BEST sitters we’ve ever had. They came to stay at our home for a week to watch our dog Bear. They were so patient and loving with her. We received daily photos and updates. And they left our house spotless and so well cared for. We hope we can book them for all our upcoming travel!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since childhood. I have almost a decade of dog walking and pet sitting experience. I know how important animals are to their owners and treat them as such. Currently, I am only doing pet sitting and dog walking as my full time job so I have a lot of time to take care of your pet’s needs. I babysit small animals at my home but bigger animals I go to the client’s home due to lack of space at my home for bigger animals. I also find that it helps the pet get use to me if I am in their environment .
“Jenette was such a great cat & house sitter! She took care of our 2 cats in our home for a week and everything went so smoothly. Our cats were so happy when we returned. Such a relief to know that they were content & well taken care of while we were away for an extended period of time, especially since they are not always in good spirits after a trip! The house was spotless and she even watered our vegetable garden! 10/10 we will definitely be booking with Jenette again- thank you!!!”
“Cassie was great and spent the day with our pup. She was proactive and made sure she was knowledgable about everything our dog needed. I would have Cassie watch my puppy again.”
“Kyra is amazing! She looked after my pups in my home while I was away. She was communicative, respectful, and seemed to give great care to my dogs. When I got home they seemed very well taken care of as did my home. I highly recommend Kyra to look after your dogs (or any animal!).”
About: My experience with animals is a wide range from puppies to senior dogs, Pups@Play & Cameron Animal Hospital are amazing places to gain enough experience to be confident and taking care of animals My schedule does fluctuate my current job hours do change from Mornings-Midday(7am-12pm) Midday-Late night closing(1pm,2pm-8pm) Because of this I do get freedom to request time off in advance so planning ahead isn't a problem My experience working with animals started at Cameron Animal hospital/Shelter working as a Vet technician being able to learn a lot of about animals dietary restrictions & maintaining a comfortable & sanitary environment for our animals really come into fruition once I found pups@play. Working for that company was eye opening on what kind of career I wanted to have and this is where I believe my first steps began into being able to open my own spot in Bloomfield
“Natasha was great with our Husky! She always replied in a timely manner and our pup seemed to really like her. The amount of pictures and updates that she shared with us was perfect. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have taken care of family and friends’ pets since my teenage years. I also owned my own dog but sadly she has passed. Still even though I will replace her I still enjoy the companionship and loyalty of all fury pals. I am flexible with my schedule as long as you give me a days’ notice to set myself up. Communication is key. Mon - Fri I am free after 5pm till 10pm and can sleep over if needed. Weekends if i have nothing going on can be available anytime just ask. I am good a following instructions. Just provided me with how you like things done with your dog and I meet expectations without any problems.
About: I had pets when I was younger and grew up having responsibilities of taking care and being attentive to the care of animals in my life. I am a college student on summer break, I would love to go out for walks and giving your pets the attention that I can give due to my flexible schedule. I have a spacious backyard and being close to a park is wonderful to go on long walks or just let your pets run around.

Keith S.
“Keith has been a great friend to me and my pets for about 10+ years now. Whenever I had to go out of town or just needed someone to look after them for a few, he was always there and ready to go. My 3 dogs (a pekingese/chihuahua mix, havanese, and a border collie) were always in great hands with him and I could just see how excited they got whenever he came around. I love, too, that he could get them to use all of their energy so that by the time the end of the day comes, they were wiped out and sleeping like a bunch of babies! He was a lot of fun, too, for my cat, Cappi, even though she's usually so shy around others. He's genuinely one of the best friends and carers that I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.”

Wonhwa L.
“Wonhwa is a very responsible and caring pet lover and owner. Not only is she on top of the situations that arise within her own pets, she is also quick to offer help with my pets as well. She’s very good and fast at problem solving, and knows to follow the rules and go beyond expectations with any job she has had. I know my pets are in very safe hands with Wonhwa around.”
