I’m so grateful for Hannah spending time with my cat while I was on vacation. She gave me peace of mind and kept me updated. She was great with my shy cat, getting him to warm up to her quickly. I’ll be looking to book with her again for sure!

I could not recommend Shauna more! She stayed at our home with our pup for over a week while we were on vacation and our house and dog could not have been in better hands. She sent wonderful updates/photos and cared for our place as if it were her own. Having someone so responsible while being away made our trip just that much more enjoyable. We can hardly wait to have her back and I know our furry friend agrees! Thank you, Shauna!

About: I've always loved dogs and cats and felt very passionate about them. I have two years animal shelter experience taking care of dogs and cats. This included feeding several different types of foods and diets to pets, ensuring pets' safety, cleaning cages and kennels, cleaning litter boxes, and taking out dogs into the yard. I am available most days and times every week to care for your pets. I offer mostly drop ins and I do have exceptions like I will be going on vacation this month so just message me within one day to request a booking. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I pay attention to dogs and cats body languages to ensure their safety needs and emotional needs are met. I let pets come to me first so that they can feel comfortable and safe around me. I treat every pet with respect and if they do not want to say hi yet, that is totally fine with me I will feed them and clean litterbox, etc and they will warm up to me eventually. I watch puppies and young dogs very carefully so that they do not get into trouble and I always make sure the floors are puppy/dog proofed.

Madeline was exemplary in providing attentive care for Teddy and the house while we were away for a long weekend. She followed our protocol sheet to a “T” and provided exercise and comfort for Teddy daily. Madeline kept the house spotless and took care of any additional concerns with ease. We will be looking to work with Madeline again in the future.

Ginger really bonded with Grace, the week that Grace stayed with her. Grace took her for car rides, long walks and gave extra special attention at night. The pictures that we received showed how content Ginger was with Grace. Ginger can be some what cautious when meeting new people. However, she took to Grace quite well. We look forward to having Grace take care of Ginger again.

About: Something I think sets me apart from other sitters is my experience working at a doggy-daycare. That environment and the chaos that comes along with it has prepared me to take care of any dog of any size. Likewise, last summer I spent approximately 2 months unofficially training and dog-sitting a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy, so I have experience in taking care of younger dogs as well. I also have a bulldog at home, so I have a deep understanding in what it takes to take care of dogs of that nature. Starting Mid-May I will be interning, so depending on my hours I may be more avaiable in the afternoon or mornings. However, that means I have every Sunday free and would be able to pop-in and out frequently. We have an electric fence for my dog, but she does not wear her collar (classic bulldog) so we make sure she is supervised at all times. I will not let any dogs play unsupervised and would only bring them on agreed upon areas to walk, or anything else owners permit.

My pups LOVED Meghan! She sent me updates and photos multiple times a day, was so communicative and I didn’t worry once that they weren’t being cared for while on my trip. As a neurotic dog mom booking her first time sitter, I couldn’t be happier that I found Meghan. Coming home to very happy, healthy dogs and a well cared for home was the best feeling ever! The dogs are already looking forward to my next trip!

Our doggo Kailey has special needs - In particular, she takes quite a while to warm up to people and wants her own space. No touchy touchy! Because of this, it has been difficult to find care for her in the past. Enter Lynn. Lynn is wonderful. She took the time to talk with us, to understand what Kailey needs, and how we interact with her. She was warm and friendly, and instantly put us at ease. We felt 100% comfortable leaving her to watch over our doggo, with access to our home. Lynn was great at both following instruction and using her best judgement when interacting with Kailey. She provided care and companionship for our girl when we couldn't be there. We are so grateful for her help, and would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for compassionate care for their pets!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life. Growing up, I regularly helped my stepmother with her pet sitting, which included overnight stays, feeding, walking, and making sure pets felt comfortable while their owners were away. As an adult, I continue to provide pet care for some of my own clients and some of the families my stepmother has worked with over the years. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and ages. I’m also a pet owner myself as my family and I currently have two dogs and a cat, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I’m flexible. I work from home so as long as the travel is within reasonable distance, the pups aren’t too heavy of a barker, and there is privacy then I’m happy to take my work with me if it’s for a lengthy day stay or overnight. For drop ins, it would need to be before 8am and after work at 430pm or weekends I’m off! I follow all care instructions. I respect each client’s home and keep the environment clean and secure, including checking gates, doors, leashes, and other safety measures. I also like to provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

Abhay was absolutely amazing. On first contact, his enthusiasm to meet and greet both us an our animals was encouraging. We knew from first meet that we could be confident and comfortable leaving our babies and our home in his care for two weeks. We were not wrong. Everything went as planned and our babies and our home were cared for perfectly according to our requests. We would, without question, request his services again and highly recommend to others.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for about 2 years, but they’ve always been a huge part of my life. As a proud pet parent myself, I know just how much love and attention our furry friends need to feel safe and happy. Whether it's going for fun walks, playtime in the yard, or just quiet cuddle time, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I truly love what I do, and it brings me so much joy to give pets the same care and comfort I’d want for my own. Pet care naturally fits right into my daily and weekly routine! I’m fully open on weekends, which makes it easy to dedicate my time to caring for pets. During the week, I’m a full-time college student, so I do have specific times I need to be in class—but before and after, I have long breaks that give me plenty of flexibility for check-ins, walks, and playtime. I love using those free hours to spend time with pets, making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and cared for while their families are busy! Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I keep pets in their familiar routines—feeding, walking, and playtime just the way they’re used to—so they stay happy and relaxed while you’re away or busy. At this time, I don’t plan on taking in any animals since I’m in college, so all of my care will be in the comfort of your pet’s own home.
