Jenevieve went above and beyond in caring for my dog. The regular check-ins and thoughtful pictures eased my worries when my dog started having separation anxiety. Her last-minute accommodations to handle that, genuine care and thoughtfulness truly saved my trip. I have never had a better experience with someone watching my dog. I highly recommend! Thank you so much, Jenevieve!

Monica was amazing! She visited and cared for our dog while we were in town for a race. She is very professional and loving and we couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for our big baby boy! ♥️

Kiara did an amazing job with our kitties while we were away for a few days. She was an excellent communicator, kind and very easy to work with, and our cats took to her immediately (even our suspicious younger one!). We have an older cat with some medical needs and Kiara put our minds fully at ease with her extensive experience fostering and caring for numerous animals. I would highly recommend her!

I haven’t used a service like this before and was kind of hesitant about it. Andrea did a fantastic job and took excellent care of my Yoda. I will definitely be using this service again. Thank you Andrea!

What can I say about tori but wow… she did such an amazing job with our cats and spent tons of extra time with them. Sent us tons of updates and pictures. Truthfully, if you need someone to watch a pet or stop by, someone who truly has a kinship with animals, tori is the one to go with. Furthermore, she’s a good person and we felt secure with her entering and leaving our house. We will exclusively use her from now on and you should too. We don’t just give good reviews, they must be earned… and she did that. Aces all the way…

Keturah took care of my dogs during my workdays for a handful of years. I have a chiweenie (who frequently gets eye infections) and a nervous yorkie who requires a certain diet. She's always done great with them and still gets excited to see both of my dogs. I still reach out to her when I'm going out of town. Very reliable girl and loving towards my little guys. I've always been grateful for her.

Maddy is awesome! She went above and beyond to take care of my dogs over the 9 days. When she saw my dog was scared during a storm, she stayed and comforted her. Communication was friendly and timely-I looked forward to the updates. Already working on the next visit. Thank you!

I have always trusted Kaitlin with my two dogs and she has been an amazing resource for me to go to when I need someone I can trust to stay at my house and take amazing care of my babies. She has watched my senior dog and my 2 year old Dalmatian.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. Dogs need a loving companion and enough attention and food and water and love. Currently unemployed so always available, Monday to Sunday anytime of the day, I can come there or you can come to me whatever works, thank you! I live in an apartment and I let them go out on the balcony. They don't bother the neighbors and most of my neighbors have dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of animals throughout my life for friends and family, both through house sitting and boarding. I am happy to accommodate special requests or accommodations so you can know your pet is being taken care of as well as they are at home! I do work 8-5, but I have a flexible enough position to be able to check in during the day if needed! I prefer cats, but I am able to dog sit or board any day of the week. I live in a two bedroom apartment with two cats. The complex has a fenced in dog park that dogs can run and play in.
