“Darius was wonderfuł! Our dog is an 11 year old German Shepherd with medical problems and he requires medication. We had never left him with a pet sitter before and I was very nervous. Darius came over a few days before we left to meet Rex and all went well; I was pleasantly surprised at how well Rex responded to Darius. Darius was very gentle and patient and sweet with him. While we were gone I knew that Rex was being well-cared from the many pictures Darius sent after each visit. Rex looked not only relaxed but actually happy! I was soooo relieved. I would HIGHLY recommend Darius and will definitely request him again if we have to leave Rex with a sitter in the future. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!”


“Christina was amazing with our babies. Two of our kitties are very shy, but they came to visit her right off the bat. She was very communicative and respectful and even went above and beyond with some light chores. We will definitely book Christina again.”

“Julissa was wonderful and left us stress free on our trip! It was so relieving to come back to happy cats and an even cleaner home than we left it. We never had to worry about our fur babies leaving them in her care. 1000% recommend Julissa if you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and kind sitter!”

“This was such a great process and caretaker. Ynes provided photos, came at the scheduled times, and did sweet things outside of the standard, such as asking for a jacket for my chihuahua because it was raining. Highly recommend.”

“Bailee was wonderful! She took great care of my two kitties and was always easily accessible. She provided updates, including photos, consistently which made me feel like I wasn't too far from my furry babies.”

“Jose was very professional and took great care of my elderly cat while I had to leave town for a few days. He always was prompt with visits, and sent pics of the visit. He spent some time with her each day. I'd happily have him come and take care of my cat again!”

“Filipa took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. She is incredibly responsive and a great sitter. She sends updates and is attentive to our pets and to our home. I appreciate finding a sitter we can trust.”

“Jay was amazing and made us feel so comfortable while we were at work. She took such great care of my new puppy, Murphy. I can tell she really played well with him because he was always tired after their meetings. Would definitely use Jay again in the future!”

“Jacquelyn was wonderful! We reached out to her at the last minute and her timely responses made us feel super comfortable boarding a last min flight knowing Caesar would been in good hands. She took plenty of pics and left us a sweet note about their time. Will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”

“Trinity is awesome!! She took great care of my two antisocial pups. She was patient and allowed my dogs to warm up to her. I came back to a clean home and happy dogs! ? Would definitely rebook!”

“Mateo is awesome! 🐶 He took great care of our senior dog and energetic puppy—super patient, respectful, and kind. 💛 He’s easy to communicate with, always responsive, and super flexible when we had to adjust our schedule. 📅 Highly recommend him 100x over! 🙌”

“Katy was amazing with our two Dobermans. She did drop ins for them and was prompt and spent a lot of the time outside with them so they could play. She spent extra time with them so they could have more time to be out and play. We will be having her back!”

“Ariana was great with my senior dog and very skittish younger pup! She communicated throughout every visit and really made me feel my babies were not just safe but really cared for. Would absolutely book again. Thanks again Ariana!”

“Tatyana did a drop in visit for us and was great. We have a high energy puppy and she was calm and kind. She sent pics of the visit which we loved. I will use her again.”

“Emma was really great at communicating before and during her drop in visits for my dogs, and she gave really enjoyable updates and pictures after the visits. I would happily have her watch my dogs again.”

About: I’m a pure animal lover! I love dogs and cats of all sizes. I currently have one 3 year old pug and foster another pug. I understand the amount of time and attention it requires to take care of our babies which is why you can trust me with yours! Whether it’s a senior animal that requires medication or a young puppy that requires an extra amount of time, I am your girl! I look forward to the opportunity. I work from home 4 days out of week so you can trust I am available for potty breaks and attention for your fur baby. I have a fully fenced yard and easy access to a dog park across the street so they will get plenty of potty breaks with me.
“Raquel does a great job with the drop in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's also been flexible when we've had to reschedule and responsive to anything that you need to communicate. We've been using her visits once a week! Thanks for helping curb our pups boredom behaviors! ?”

“Jessica did a great job with my kiddos ☺️ This is our second time using her services and we appreciate how reliable and responsive she is! She always does a great job with our kitties and bunny, and did a great job administering my cat’s inhaler treatments as well. Thanks so much!”

We had a really great initial visit and I was confident that Jay would be great. She was even better than expected! She was great at adapting to small issues with my cats’ behavior and keeping me up to date about the details and with cute pictures! Will definitely book again!
Gari, where have you been lo these many years? We needed your dependability, efficiency, groundedness and genuine caring for our pets a long time ago! But you came along at just the right moment and set our minds at ease while we were away for almost 2 weeks. Gari collected mail and sent daily personal texts and updates through Rover. They won over our shy indoor cats with gentle attentiveness and vibed with our outdoor cats to gain their trust. We hope Gari will be available for our next extended vacation. We think they and our kitties will take up right where they left off. Thank you again, Gari!

Jacquelyn was timely and professional throughout. At the beginning there were some issues getting into my unit and she was very patient and did all that was needed to work through the issue. She would send thoughtful updates about my cats daily, which I appreciated. I would recommend Jackie any time and will absolutely work with her again!

Dara is an incredibly loving, kind, and wonderful person! She treats cats with the utmost care, showing amazing attention to detail and responding perfectly to their needs. She is truly a dedicated professional with a warm heart. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for the best care for their fur babies!
