“Raymond has watched my cats a few times now and he's been wonderful every time! We had a couple of hiccups while we were gone, and he went above and beyond--coming over to make sure the electronic feeder was still working after a power outage and dealing with a water leak in the laundry room. Great communication and always reliable! Oh, and the cats are big fans of him, too.”

“Renee was kind, responsible, flexible, and took great care of our cat! She even offered to come by before the trip to meet him and make sure it was a good fit. Highly recommend Renee!”
“This is the second time I have had Hillary look after my cat, Archie. My cat not only feels comfortable around her, but she makes an effort to make sure that my fur baby is well taken cared of in my absence. Will most definitely continue to have Hillary watch my baby while I’m not home”
“Allysha was absolutely fantastic! One of our pups is a bit more skittish and Allysha was able to get her to open up and made me feel comfortable knowing how well they got along. She provided detailed updates as well as pictures and videos! Definitely made me feel very confident and comfortable leaving my dogs in her care.”


“5 star pet sitter, a professional in every way. I completely agree with another review, Ronald deserves generous tips as he goes above and beyond. My high energy, sweet pups were as happy when we got back as if we were gone one day vs a week. Thank you Ronald!”

“Alex took great care of my dog Chica while I was away. Chica is a rescue and is pretty afraid of strangers but Alex was able to gain her trust and get her out for a few walks. She's great!”

“Sam and Nicole are awesome! They took care of our girl in the middle of a long day. We could tell it was a great walk because she was happy and relaxed when we got home!”


About: My name is Taylor, and while i do need some extra income, spending time with dogs is the most ideal way for me. I love all animals and enjoy dogs more than people most likely. I will treat your dog with love and respect and I hope they enjoy me as well so they can be excited if I ever come back to see them again. I'm 31 and I would love to own a dog, but I can barely afford to feed myself so ill have to stick to hanging out with other people's dogs. Dogs are so pure and full of love and joy. There is something about being with a dog out in nature that just makes you think life is wonderful. I have Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays off and I have all those days free to spend time with any pets that need it. Any time those days I'm around. I live alone in a 1 bedroom apartment, but there is a golf course beside me that has a huge walking trail and I'd love to have a dog to walk with. I also can take them to all kinds of trails or parks around.
“Abby is always on time and is so good with my old girl. I trust her to take care of things for drop in visits when I’m not there. She is diligent and caring.”

“Victoria was very accommodating to my dog’s need. She was willing to do a meet and greet prior to a formal booking. She was very understanding with my concerns. My dog warmed up to her really fast. Victoria was also very sweet with my dog and her comfortability with handling my large dog was very apparent. I feel comfortable booking her in the future.”

“10 out of 10 Recommend & Will request Lara to care for Biscuit again. Biscuit was drawn to Lara during our introduction home visit. I was instantly at ease leaving him for five days. Lara was polite, flexible and extremely dependable. Each one hour visit was followed by a detailed write up and photo shoot. I could not be more pleased. Highly recommend Lara. She will steal you and your pets heart”

“Mrs Charlie did a great job caring for my outside dog, chickens, and bird while I was away. They were friendly, dependable, and sent plenty of pictures and updates that really put my mind at ease. They went above and beyond — even helping with a few things I forgot to mention. I really appreciate how flexible and helpful they were. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

“Ashley is wonderful. She helped care for my two dogs while I was at a conference. It was her first time meeting them, and she seemed to be completely comfortable. This is a news city for us so it was a great relief to have great care.”
“Saunie was attentive and always made sure our cats were fine. She always made sure that cats had enough food and cleaned the litter. She left notes including how our cats were doing, which we always enjoyed reading. Our cat Luna seems to be making friends with Saunie, which was surprising especially since she's usually a skittish cat. Overall, we will definitely rebook her if we are out of town again!”


“Victoria did a fantastic job doing drop in visits on my cat while we were away. She provided my kitty with lots of love and attention and sent me lots of pictures. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and grew up with a cat, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve gained experience dog sitting a variety of breeds, including high-energy Australian Shepherds as well as many other types of dogs with different needs and personalities. I’ve also spent time as a foster dog mom, caring for dogs ranging from small Chihuahuas to large Great Pyrenees. My schedule is 100% flexible so I can easily adapt to the needs of your pet! My schedule allows me to be consistent with feeding times, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. I focus on keeping each pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely - feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed - and keep their environment calm and familiar. I’m very respectful of your space and aim to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away.

I am so relieved to find Mishelle! She was so calm and thoughtful about my cats and tortoises! She easily able to handle their different and special diets. Mishelle handled one of cats scratching her out of the blue! Thank you Mishelle for your consistent care! Thabk you for continuing to care for my animals! I am not worried or stressed now that we found you!

Rachel was amazing. I enjoyed the updates and pictures she sent me of my cats. And she not only played with them but made sure they had calming environment when she left. It brought a lot of peace of mind knowing she was checking in on them for me. I’d rebook with her for sure.

If I could give Brandy 10 stars I would. My cats just had a pretty eventful week after our place flooded and one of them was stressed out about all the moving around etc. Brandy approached them with so much kindness and willingness to give them space that after a few days my kitties felt super comfortable having her around.
I cannot speak more highly of Caroline throughout the entire process. I needed to book someone to watch my two dogs for a week, last minute. I sent out requests late one night and Caroline replied first, within 30 minutes. She initiated a meet and greet to get comfortable with the house and the dogs - each with their quirks but she was unperturbed. Caroline gave me thorough and friendly drop in visit report cards twice a day. Walking the dogs wasn't necessary for me but Caroline went ABOVE AND BEYOND. She went on 1-2 walks per day, sometimes taking them to their favorite park nearby, and even picked up poop in my backyard if the weather wasn't good for a walk. What more could you ask for?

Rachel was incredible with our boys! She was amazing with communication and kept us updated every step of the way, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took such great care of all three boys and fed them twice a day consistently and right on schedule. She was especially wonderful with our diabetic cat, who requires insulin injections twice a day. Rachel handled his care so confidently and thoughtfully — she was truly a real-life cat whisperer! We could tell she genuinely cared for them like they were her own, and we would absolutely trust her with our babies again. Highly recommend!

Gregory was very responsive and had great communication starting from the beginning of meeting our dog and through the end of the drop in visits for the weekend! Our dog Lola was in a perfectly fine mood upon our return - would definitely recommend for dog care and will definitely be booking in the future if needed! Thanks, Gregory!
