“The perfect sitter! Instantly made us feel at ease, great communicator, sent lots of wonderful photos during his stay. Reliable and we could tell our pets were in good hands. Would definitely hire again!”


“Josefa is just so amazing! She took care of my pups so well and went on a lot of walks took many great pictures. Both of my huskies love her so much. I highly recommend her to anyone!! :)”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since 15. I gained all of my experience that I have today through taking care of neighbors, friends, colleagues, and family’s pets. I am a loving, kind, caring, and patient person. I learned so much from caring for animals, that I adore them so much! Also additional, I have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I’m currently a college student, my classes are held online. Which gives me plenty of time to spend with the doggies. My weekends are busy but I can do mornings only. Because the weekends are the only days I have to finish my college work. I care for my clients pets like if they were my own. I make sure to make my clients pets feel as comfortable and safe as possible, like if they were in their own home. I love taking my time to get to know my clients pets because each pet has their own personality! I also make sure to follow any rules or meal plans that my clients leave for their pets.
“Imani was wonderful in taking care of my dog. She was punctual and took interest in learning about my dogs routine and care. She send us pictures, video chat and messaged whenever it was necessary. We are thankful for her presence! Harry look happy, healthy and playful when we came back. Thank you Imani!”

“Maria rocks! She was super attentive and loving towards our dog Snoopy - and set us at ease with her thoughtful updates and photos each day. She also took great care of our apartment:) She's everything you'd want from a dog sitter - genuinely affectionate, responsible, and responsive. We highly recommend her!”


“Celine was SO awesome with chappie. She was incredibly communicative during her 4 day/3 night stay. I could tell chappie was very comfortable with her & she left my apartment very clean and organized for when i returned!”

“Jaidi was absolutely incredible! This was our first time having Jaidi take care of Lolita while we’re away and I can truly say we always felt like Lolita is in safe and loving hands. We got the cutest updates including pictures and short super cute updates about our pup’s whereabouts and whenever we had any request or question Jaidi was always responsive and very accommodating. It was a big part of our getaway success and to top it off we also came back to a super clean apartment. We’ll 100% call Jaidi to take care of our Lolo next time, and highly recommend her services!!”

“Juniper was incredible!! During our first meet, he took notes to ensure he didn’t miss any care instructions for the girls. He stayed at our place with them for a few days and provided updates everyday. When we got home, the place was spotless and the girls seemed happy. We are so grateful for the care provided to our kitties, and will definitely be booking with Juniper again in the future.”

“Kenine took great care of our dog, Big! She is very attentive and communicative, sending many updates and pictures throughout the stay. We can tell our dog was well taken care of and relaxed with her. Will definitely keep Kenine in mind for future visits! 😊”


“Kier took care of my dog Kiwi in my apartment over an extended time and I was confident the entire time that Kiwi was in good and extremely loving hands. Kier always sent lengthy updates and I can tell went the extra mile to make sure Kiwi was happy and taken care of. I won’t hesitate to book with him again.”

“Ivy did a wonderful job at caring for our puppy, Kuma, while we were away! Ivy was very attentive to our puppy and asked great questions before to get a good sense of his needs. I really enjoyed getting pictures of Kuma throughout his time with Ivy. I have a very anxious dog and Ivy was super patient with Kuma until he warmed up to her. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!!”

“Jana was amazing! This was my first time leaving my Cat with a stranger and I was very nervous but she made me feel comfortable from the get go. She was flexible to meet in person and she asked so many questions to ensure she could give the best care to my baby. Throughout my trip she regularly gave me updates on her feeding, behavior and health. She even gave me recommendations for food, treats and a grooming brush. Additionally, she left my apartment cleaner than I would ever have it and she was so communicative the whole time. My cat now meows because she misses her so much! Needless to say, if you’re nervous, Jana is an amazing option for overnight stay.”

“Diana did a fantastic job taking care of Enzo. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I really appreciated her great communication- she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind throughout the stay. I came home to a happy, well-cared for pup. Highly recommend!”

“Emmilee did it again! This time it was about as last minute as you can get, and she was super accommodating to our cry for help. She is always so thoughtful and loving in her care. And the best part is that our foster dog is usually a little insane at night by with Emmilee’s care, she was actually quite pooped out! Thank you again Emmilee!!! You always go above and beyond and we’re so appreciative to have you as a part of our little pack.”

Regina was such a thoughtful, caring, and attentive sitter for our two cats. She sent pictures and video clips every day, and let us video call them when she could sense they missed us. She was considerate and kind, and I loved that she created a genuine connection with our babies, so much so that she will miss them. I highly recommend working with Regina. Thank you for making our week-long vacation worry-free!
