“We are so lucky to have found Paula, she's an absolute blessing! She is competent, reliable, responsive, and just overall a kind and lovely human! It was such a relief to know our furballs were in good hands while we were away. I cannot recommend Paula more highly, and we will definitely be using her again.”


“Nervana was wonderful! My dogs require medication 2x a day and she ensured they received everything they needed. The pictures she sent at each visit put my mind at rest. Thank you!!”


“Thank you for taking great care of my baby even if she made a sh**** first impression lol!”


About: I’ve been dog sitting and walking for the past two years with experience with both cats and dogs of my own! I have also been able to successfully train my youngest cat some tricks like sit, stand, and “say hi”. I have also worked with some senior dogs who needed help with their walks and careful watch when it comes to feeding. I am available most days after 12:15 and can always make accommodations to squeeze another walk in when necessary! Typically, Mondays and Wednesdays I’m not available for early mornings but can do late afternoon walks. I typically don’t board my pets in my home, however, I have been to other homes to check in on dogs multiple times a day to ensure they have fresh water, food, and have the chance to play and get out some energy! I believe play time is especially important for young puppies.

“Another awesome visit with gab! She is professional, on time, open lines of communication, cares for the animals and all around an awesome sitter! Thank you again!”


“Yeah, that’s something he likes to do. Thank you for walking him in short notice.”


“excellent service took very well care of my dog while i was away on vacation over the weekend checked on her on schedule and walked her and fed her every visit couldn't have asked for better care thank u”


About: Since the day i was born i have had a small zoo in my home. Over the years i have had pets such as cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles and small animals.

“Oleg was nothing short of incredible. My wife and I were traveling for our wedding and we hadn't used Rover before. Oleg put any nerves we had about leaving our pets alone at ease. He was communicative, caring, and you could tell he really enjoyed playing with the cats. He stayed later than required in all three visits and blew up our phones with pictures and videos. I highly recommend Oleg and would definitely book him again.”
