Our two cats were welcomed by Swagata and her husband, and acclimated quickly to their vacation home. Swagata sent several photos and videos during their stay, showing how much attention and love they gave, and keeping our cats entertained. We would definitely ask her to be our sitter again in the future.

Lindsey was great with our cat and definitely eased much of the stress that comes with leaving your pet in someone else's care. She was thorough and consistent and always kept us updated. She clearly has a great amount of love for animals, and we would definitely hire her again!

Christy gave special care and attention to my senior dog. She was this little dog's, who had gone through many changes in a short time, first pet sitter and it went well. I will welcome Christy back and recommend her as a reliable, caring pet sitter.

About: I have over 20 years of caring for animals of all kinds. I am very personal, caring, and will treat your animal with the love they deserve. I have a full time job Monday-Friday. I can walk your dog in the morning and play with them until I leave for work. After work we can play and enjoy what new outside adventures have in store! I have the ability to come to your home if that’s your preference. I am very schedule friendly. I have a big common area and a large park with a dog area. I’m close to a walking path or can just stay in home and play. I am very responsible and have over 20 years of experience. I have two daughters 11,8 that could help as well. They love animals.

About: I have always grown up with dogs, cats, and many other furry and scaly animals in my homes. Usually multiple at the same time! I do extensive research to make sure my pets get the best care they could have. I am also in college to be a veterinarian to further my knowledge. I am currently working for some delivery apps, so I will always be driving around on most days, during the day and when the sun starts to go down. It would be awesome to work the day, and stop by a few times to get my pet fix. Extra bonus if I would watch overnight when it starts to get dark! Saturday night and Sunday day is for family. I am currently doing some research on dog training/care, as I am getting my own dog in the summer! All my other pets are in great health. In your own home, I assure to be patient and use problem solving skills to meet the needs of your fur baby! I am also great at communication, so I will always keep you in the loop:)

I have a very high maintenance cat (17, blind, won't eat, etc) and Mackenzie took such good care of her! She checked in twice a day and sent very detailed updates to let me know how Gracie was doing. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing the Gracie was safe and being well cared for by someone that really truly cared about Gracie's wellbeing. I'll definitely be rebooking with Mackenzie!!

About: Hello, name is Eva! My job is to provide safe, attentive and cuddly service to your furry companions. I provide dependable, attentive dog walking services tailored to your dog’s needs. My focus is on safety, routine, and creating a positive experience for you and your pet! I’ll make sure every walk is both enriching and enjoyable. Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was a little girl. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I have taken a personal interest in researching dog psychology and training. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, pace, and preferences, ensuring every walk is fun, safe, and stress-free. I have experience caring for many different kinds of pets such as dogs, cats, reptiles and amphibians (other small mammals and insects included). I have experience with farm animals as well! I have worked and volunteered on farms and homesteads throughout my adult life. I am empathetic, patient and nurturing in the company of animals. I have experience with large and small breeds of dogs with different energy levels and temperaments. I am an active, consistent and adaptable person and I would love the chance to be your animal’s caregiver while you’re away! I work part time and I am available most early mornings and afternoons for walks and check ins. I can also be flexible with evenings. My dog is my best friend and I would treat yours as the same. I take Honey on daily walks and hikes, I love to spend time in nature. We have regular visits to the vet and groomer. When Honey is not with family, she is provided sensory stimulation toys and watches dog tv while I’m away. She is very well loved.
