Jessica was great! We were out of town 4 nights, and then our flight got delayed and she was able to adjust her schedule to stay a 5th night to take care of our dog. She sent photos and updates at least twice a day and I felt better knowing I had someone here at our house to care for our dog (instead of boarding him). Our dog has some anxiety and allergy issues and she took care of all his meds and gave him lots of love and cuddles. She also washed all the bedding, towels and took the trash out (which she didn't need to do but did it anyhow). Highly recommend! Thanks again, Jessica.

About: Growing up, my family didn’t have pets, so I love my friends and family’s pets like they are my own! I am intentional and ask questions when learning from owners how to best interact with their pet(s). I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats, up to two of each at the same time. I prioritize playtime and being active with any pet I’m responsible for. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and can adapt my skills and schedule based on their unique needs. My schedule is extremely flexible as I continue the job search post graduate school. I am able to support pet owners with short-term drop ins, frequent walks for high energy pets, and extended stays. I am available to care for pets in their own home. I aim to ease any stress by keeping their environment familiar and maintaining their usual schedule as much as possible.

Yasmin went above and beyond and took my kitten Sir Snuggles to the vet when he was not feeling well (with my approval) when I was on travel abroad. She even got the vet on the phone at the appointment to talk to me. She was fantastic - and Snuggs is all better now thanks to her help.

Absolutely amazing house and dog sitter. She went above and beyond in every way and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Tiger was so loved, cared for, and spoiled the entire time — we could tell immediately when we got home. She kept us updated, treated our home with care, and truly cared for Tiger like he was her own. We are beyond grateful and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation! 🐾✨

About: I have dog sat my friend’s dog, her aunt’s dog, and my sister’s dog. Dog sizes range from small to large. I love taking dogs for walks. I also love snuggles just as much. :) I would be available Thursday night after 5:30 to Sunday evenings. I currently work all day Monday, Tuesday/Thursday afternoons (12:30-5:30), and Wednesday mornings (7-12). I am off on Fridays. I live in a secure condominium. The front and side doors are both locked on the building at all times. Only homeowners have keys. I have stayed in other people’s houses as well. I always make sure to leave the house looking clean when I’m done dog sitting. That way you don’t have to worry about cleaning up after me upon returning home.

Kaitlyn did a wonderful job taking care of our 13 yo female dog in our home while we were away. Kaitlyn took care of all of her needs, including medication and left the house without a trace she was there. Would definitely rebook with her.

I used Jess for several years when I lived in Iowa, usually a couple of times a year or more. I absolutely loved her. She did the little things that go above and beyond, like taking the garbage out - bringing in the mail and packages, leaving my house cleaner than she found it and even taking my pups to the dog park. There was one stay where my Sheltie choked on some food and she literally gave him mouth-to-mouth. She saved his life. We miss her a lot and can't recommend her enough!

About: I have had my two cats and dog for 6 years. I recently went through stage 4 cancer and they have been by my side the whole way. When I was in and out of the hospital I needed help watching them. They are my family and I needed someone I could trust fully. I want to be there to take care of your family the way mine were taken care of. I currently do not work. I have a gym time scheduled daily at 7 am. I don’t have many other things that would prevent me from being with them most of the time. I can accommodate medications and strict feeding schedules. I can crate. I can also bathe or brush animals as well. When at your house, I can accommodate any schedule you have.

About: I’ve been & lived with animals all my 25 years of life so very keen to wants and needs—play, sleep, walks, food. What we all want as humans as well. Just look for a furry companion to share my time off with! I’m a nurse who works 3 days a week, so have a lot of downtime! Would love to talk your special loved ones on walks around this beautiful city! I have no pets in my luxury apartment so all my time and attention will be on your pet. We do have a fenced in area for easy restroom breaks.

About: Are you looking for a more personal dog sitting experience rather than kennel? I will keep to your dog's routine with feeding schedules and outside breaks. I have two of my own spoiled dogs and a well behaved 12 year old son. We live in a few acres with a large privacy fenced backyard with plenty of room to play! I can give your pet lots of love and attention, and outside play time! I work at a local vet clinic taking care of many different animals with a variety of needs (including medication). I am very easy to contact, if necessary. I have references available upon request! I can't wait to meet you and your fur family- always open to meet and greets but up to your comfort level :) I prefer a weeks notice to adjust scheduling. Your dog must be dog and cat friendly. Outside breaks are offered in the morning, afternoon, early evening and evening. Breaks are typically 15-20 minutes or more but also dependent on weather. Feeding schedule can be 1-3 times a day. I have a six foot privacy fence and latched gates. All doors are locked when I'm away from home and at night. We're in the country away from any busy roads.

When caring and visiting your furry friend, I am happy to fulfill all instructions and details so that you have peace of mind and know that they are in the hands of someone who truly cares about them as much as you do.
