“We will never leave our pets with anyone but Dani! You will know the first time you meet Dani and introduce her to your dogs and cats that she truly cares about your fur babies. She has a calm demeanor and is kind and sensitive. You will fall in love with her dog Xena who was so patient withe my fiesty 12 week old Lab puppy. We would leave 10 stars if we could, thank you Dani!”
“Marna was absolutely wonderful with our cat! She was very reliable and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a relaxing vacation and our pet was well cared for! I would highly recommend her! :)”
About: Animal lover with flexible schedule, calm and patient energy. I'm very active so available for long walks or runs! Always attentive to details and specifics for each pet in my care. I'm a full-time creative (painter and graphic designer), so I enjoy setting my own schedule and can easily accommodate to your pet's needs during various times of day. I can work remotely and this allows me to be available more often. I am comfortable learning each pet's needs in their home environments, and adjusting to what makes them feel most comfortable. Happy to come to you so that your pet can experience their typical daily routines.
“Kelly went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were taken excellent care of. We were able to really relax knowing Kelly knows what to do. She was very thoughtful and made two new furry bff's. Lucky to have found Kelly!!”
“Above and beyond! I would highly recommend Alissa. She took wonderful care of my cat over a holiday and was easy to communicate with.”
“Krista was a lifesaver for my dad! Right before going on vacation he had to start his cat on medication so he needed someone to check on him multiple times a day, and Krista came to the rescue! She tackled the difficult task of oral meds and kept us informed on how it was going the whole time with pictures. We really lucked out finding her and will definitely hire her next time!!”
“Yoko took great care of my cat, who is 6-7 years old. I felt complete confidence in her as soon as I met her I returned home after an absence of four days to find a happy cat! I hope to be able to have Yoko as a drop-in sitter in the future.”
“Isabelle took excellent care of our two Corgi boys while we were on an extended trip of 11 days. We were nervous about leaving them for such a long time, but from the first moments of our meet and great, it was clear that Isabelle was a perfect match for them. The boys connected with her immediately and it was obvious that she is experienced in both drop-in visits and extended care. She is a very thoughtful and capable sitter, who sends regular updates with adorable photos, and we really appreciated her timely replies to our texts. We never worried about our pups while they were in Isabelle's care and when we returned, our boys were relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Isabelle for both drop-in visits and long-term care, and we look forward to bringing her back to care for our boys sometime soon.”
“Aphtyn is the best sitter ever! Every one of our pets adores her and they are so comfortable with her! We were traveling abroad and were completely secure knowing she was with them! It was amazing and we also came home to a house that was in pristine shape and even better than when we left it! Fantastic person and a wonderful sitter who will take excellent care of your fur babies!”
