1. Khrys S.

“Khrys has been excellent with our older dog Champ. He instantly warmed to her when they first met - which isn’t always the case with new people. She has been so communicative with us, and flexible with our schedules. Champ’s happy she comes to feed him and take pictures of him being silly in the yard. I’m so thankful we found a reliable, trustworthy sitter!”


2. Rachel B.

“Rachel is wonderful :) My two rescues can be quite reactive and skittish to just about any change in lifestyle. She's more than willing to jump right in & find what works for everyone. I will be using her as a regular sitter from here on out!”


3. Sharon S.
“Sharon is a wonderful choice to care for your dog! She is not only great with her own dog, but truly handles dogs of all kind very well. Sharon has been fantastic with my dog especially, Colonel Mustard. Not only is Sharon super caring but she has a loving family who will treat your dog like gold. She also offers a great big fenced in yard where your dog will enjoy running and playing. You can feel confident that you made a great choice when choosing Sharon to look after your fur baby.”

9. Heeyoung J.


“Heeyoung was awesome. We had a wedding to go to and realized last minute that we needed someone to watch Ollie, our 4 month old Basenji. We contacted Heeyoung the day before, she responded so quickly and was able to come to our house, meet Ollie, go over all the instructions and we were all set. She came on the night of the wedding, texted us when she got to our house, she also texted us all the details of her visit, and then again when she left. Such a terrific experience and Heeyoung was so gentle and caring with Ollie. Will definitely will be using Heeyoung for future dog sitting and will be meeting with her over the summer to discuss boarding Ollie when we go on vacation. Thank you Heeyoung!!”


10. Lisa C.

“Lisa did an amazing job looking after our precious kitty. My cat Sophie is a shy one but she made fast friends with Lisa right away. Lisa went above and beyond to make sure Sophie had everything she needs to be happy and comfortable. She sent me lots of updates and pictures which I appreciated very much. Communication was great. Already booked Lisa again!”


11. Tanuj S.
“I highly recommend Tanuj as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. He took exceptional care of my cat during my time away, ensuring she was well-fed, comfortable, and happy. Not only did he keep up with her daily routines, but he also gave her plenty of attention and affection. It’s clear he genuinely cares for animals and treats them like family. I had complete peace of mind knowing my cat was in Tanuj’s capable hands.”


12. Hamal S.
“Sam is a very patient person. He was also very friendly with my pup and was very pleasant to work with. My Goldendoodle loved him.”


13. Marc R.
“Marc worked at our Vet’s office and was always so kind and loving to all our pets. When our elderly dachshund had to wait all day for the mobile ekg to come Marc had him sit with him all day so he would be in a cage. When our crazy golden retriever came to the vet Marc loved his energy! And when our Corgi puppy chased a cat around the office Marc got everyone under control and then laughed, he truly loves animals! Marc is not just wonderful with dogs, he was always so kind to our nervous house cat whenever she came for a visit. Marc is a true animal lover and I would highly recommend Marc to watch any animal!!”

“Absolutely awesome!”


15. Maria H.
About: For the past 3 years I've worked with a trainer to help my reactive dog. I am caring and understanding of every dog's particular needs. I have also helped in the care of dogs of my friends and family. Pet care is something that I go through on a daily basis. Having a high energy and reactive corgi has shown me that not all dogs require the same care. I'm willing to try to find what works best for your fur baby and understand their needs. I would love to take your dogs on long walks. I can also perform drop in visits which include checking in on your pets, feeding them, playing with them and doing what I can to keep them happy.

17. Jonathan V.
About: I have switched careers, to be in the animal field. Currently trained to be a vet assistant, aspiring to be a vet tech one day. I have had pets since childhood, from several dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, a goat and horses. I have been a dog parent to two, and currently for our 17 year old beloved puggle named Reggie. He is still in good health due to his diet, supplements and providing the best comfortable and loving home for him. I am looking forward to meeting and spending time with your fur baby! Currently, I am transitioning into a career in the animal field. So, I am flexible throughout the day and night, to meet your fur baby's needs. I would need to foremost communicate with my client, to learn about the pet's personality, temperament, routines, likes and dislikes. Then, I would be able to provide the best care.
