“Shelly was great with my 2 year old Pitbull Dalmatian mix, I highly recommend! Shelly came for a meet & greet on very short notice & impressed me immediately. She was very gentle & comforting to my timid, reactive, & nervous momma from the 1st moment they met! Shelly is punctual, trustworthy, & very good with communicating (even checked how many treats she should be giving?) to owners! I will 100% sure have Shelly sit for my baby again! Thank You Shelly!!”


“Sarah is incredible! She has pet sit for my cat a few times now and every time I feel more comfortable and at ease with someone else taking care of my furbaby. I get personalized pictures and videos of her giving Boots affection and playing with her. Boots is particular about people and I can tell from the images that she is so comfortable with her. I will be sticking with Sarah for the long haul with any pets I have now, and in the future.”

“Cassandra was absolutely wonderful! Our dog is both high energy and high anxiety. She was great with navigating his needs! Her updates and photos were super informative and gave us great ease of mind while we were out of town that our dog (family to us), was well taken care of! She was also super communicative and an absolute pleasure to meet and work with! It is clear she is a true dog lover! I would definitely book her again! ♥️”


About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant and taken courses in behavior and animal welfare, which have given me strong skills in handling, caring for, and understanding pets' needs. As a future veterinarian, I’m dedicated to keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe while giving them all the love and attention they deserve.

I can handle medication administration and have experience in basic medical care. I’m dedicated to making sure your pet feels at home and well cared for, whether at your place or mine.

About: I love animals and I’ve always grown up with them and taken care of them for others. I take care of dogs, cats, rodents, snakes, fish, and lizards. I work part time about 25 hours a week, and my job is quite flexible. I want to spend more time with animals and do more work I find fulfilling. I always communicate with the owner ahead of time to make sure expectations are set. It’s extremely important to me to take care of a pet and include the owner’s preference, and then for the animal to have a happy and safe time when they’re with me.

About: I've taken care of and lived with a multitude of pets since 2015. Every year up until this year, I've lived with a dog and/or cat. I love animals, (my favorite is llamas) and would start a farm if I wasn't raised in the city My schedule is constantly changing, but currently I am walking pets throughout the day, or babysitting during the days. I am open to change routines if needed For sitting pets in my home, I have an apartment, which means your animal would be leashed anytime not in my home. If we are in their environment, I listen to their cues of safety and trust and of course whatever the owners are comfortable with. Also, if your pet is under my care, I can be reached anytime :)

About: I have experience taking care of a wide range of breeds and ages of dogs. I have had lots of furry friends throughout the years and I love being able to help others. I have professional dog training experience and I am very knowledgeable about what it takes to take care of a dog I work during the day throughout the week so I have lots of availability to watch and walk with your furry friend in the early morning and evenings! Pets are family and they deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. It’s already tough as a pet owner if you can’t be there for your pet and so as a caretaker I want to relieve that stress in anyway I can.

About: I absolutely love pets. I have one and I only treat others like I want mine to be treated. I love to see them happy! I open to do overnights and weekends. I try to be flexible when it comes to scheduling and I'll accommodate to the best of my abilities. I have a very cozy home. I have a yard where they can go and exercise. Pets have freedom around the house so they can make themselves right at home!

Deja C.
“There is a possibility that Rosie likes Deja more than me and that is okay. It is a true testament to how Deja truly cares for Rosie like she is her own dog. She took Rosie on multiple walks throughout the day, provided all of her meals and snacks on time (while sticking to Rosie's diet and ensuring that all food consumed was safe for dogs), and even let her cuddle in bed to help her feel more at home. Deja really knows how to form an authentic relationship with your pet. I never feel any worry while Rosie is in her care!”


Lena S.
“Lena demonstrates a genuine connection and care for all fur babies. She takes their health and safety seriously all whilst showing a loving affection and appreciation for each unique one. She has cared for multiple dogs and a cat in my home, and she is very responsible and respectful to our environment and preferences. The fur babies love her!”
