Sophia was super responsive and responsible. She did a great job with our cat and dog. She was confident with our large dog and he felt so comfortable with her that he rolled over for belly rubs (not something he does right away). Sophia walked him daily (once going on a 3-miler!) and sent us plenty of picture updates. We would be ecstatic to hire her again! Sophia was also super respectful with our home. She left our house super clean: washing the bedding, etc. Sophia did a great job and I will definitely rebook her again.

Crispin went above and beyond to meet our dog ahead of time before her stay. She was so attentive, respectful, and loving to our pup! She sends lots of updates and pics to keep our minds at ease that our pup was well taken care of. HIGHLY recommend her.

Marissa did just a fantastic job house sitting and looking after my dog Ernie. She was communicative and very responsible and left my place in great condition after I was gone for several days. She took great care of Ernie and is a responsible and reliable person. I highly recommend her!

Ann has been a constant presence through many litters of puppies and has always been a helping hand with both young and old dogs. Not only do they listen to her but she listens to them and is able to pick up on their likes and dislikes. She can puppy sit here any time.

Probably the sweetest and most professional girl I’ve met. She has always cared for my pets as her own and I know firsthand that her pup is one spoiled girl. I wouldn’t trust anyone with my animals more than I would with Jackie.

Natalie proved to be an exceptional dog and house sitter. She showed great care and patience with our shy, vocal dog, who usually takes time to trust new people. Natalie maintained consistent communication and provided regular updates throughout her stay. Upon our return, we found our home in immaculate condition. For peace of mind during your absence, I highly recommend hiring Natalie!

About: I do not have much experience but I've watched Caesar millan videos and am a very perceptive person when it comes to people, specially animals. Learning how to read them will be an easy task for me. I know there very emotional creatures and dogs do communicate with us specifically so it's just learning their cues and respecting their boundaries. I do love animals in the end and I know I be very good at this job if opportunity presented to me I can schedule the hours I like to fit my schedule easily. I usually can work most of the days if not busy with stuffs. I live in an apartment so I do not own or capable of owning a pet due to rules. However I know a family that has a cat. This cat is said to be aggresi ebut in reality she just wants her space. I approach her respectful and she is very comfortable with me. She tends to run away when people are around and is happy with nature and doesn't like to be petted much. I will have much more experience with dogs as soon as I start working more

I would absolutely recommend Jessica to anyone who is looking for someone to care for their pet(s). She was an exceptional sitter who regularly checked in and provided updates about my dog, Logan, with pictures and videos to give me some assurances into how he was doing. Jessica is great at being mindful of any specific pet care instructions, but also going above and beyond in offering a loving and comfortable space for your pet. I appreciated the level of respect and effort she demonstrated in caring for my pup by regularly keeping him active with walks (& trips to the park!), while also giving them the attention and love I would give them myself even while inside. Thank you, Jessica!

Kepa was awesome! Offered to do a meet and greet the day before dog sitting Teemo. Our dog can be nervous and shy, Kepa took the time to let Teemo warm up to him. Took him on several walks while we were away and hu g out with him on the couch.

About: Hi! My name is Phoebe and I am a HUGE pet fan. Since I was 7 years old, I’ve grown up with kittens, who eventually turned into old cats, and they’ve always been my best friends. I also grew up with two rottweilers and an Australian cattledog mix, (so there MASSIVE guys) who I’ve all adored so much. I have plenty of experience walking and running dogs, feeling pets, bathing, and picking up after them. I live in a college house where we aren’t allowed to have pets so any time with animals I treasure! I am a college student, but my mornings are pretty flexible, as well as certain afternoons as well during the week. Weekend are also great for me! Unfortunately I couldn’t care for animals in my home because it is against my lease contract, but I would ensure that the pets that I watch are safe and well protected!

Alba is terrific with my mini Aussie Shepard, Karma! Karma has a ton of energy and Alba does a great job of taking her on long walks and playing catch with her at the beach to tire her out. Karma loves Alba and flips out in pure joy when she sees Alba walking to the front door! It makes it so much easier to leave her when I know she will be having fun and being well taken care of. Alba is my first choice to watch Karma whenever I go on vacation or take work trips. She's watched Karma at least 8 times. I love getting regular updates and photos. I can always tell Karma and Alba are both having a great time together!

Fantastic dog sitter/walker! She was highly recommended by a friend, and she did not let us down. She genuinely loves dogs, and gives them plenty of attention and exercise. Excellent communication. Very responsive to texts and emails, and does not mind sending pictures.

Elizabeth is so lovely and our pup adores her. She’s extremely conscientious of his needs and an excellent communicator. He got a little upset from fireworks and she totally soothed and calmed him down. We 💜 her!
