“Sean is truly exceptional and has meticulously followed every detail I provided. He is incredibly dependable and can assist with your requests, often on short notice. His passion for his work is evident, and it really shows in the quality of his results.”


“Rileigh is fantastic! We always book her! She takes such great care of our cats and always goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. We love getting her updates and truly trust her with our home and pets. Highly recommend!”


“Shianne was great!! I had not established a pet sitter here yet after a move and had a last minute need and she was there for my dog Hazel. Super communicative and seems to really care about the pets by asking questions to make sure she plays with them as needed. She also sends great check in reports and takes lots of pictures. I will most definitely be using Shianne in the future and would recommend her!”


“This weekend Aja took care of Jack, she always gives me updates about Jack and how he did. I appreciate that she always communicates with me. In the pictures she sent me Jack looked happy even playing, he is a nervous dog so seeing him play makes me happy. Thank you Aja!”


“I recently had Elizabeth take care of my dogs, and she is truly amazing! She genuinely cares for the doggies and spends quality one-on-one time with them, not just acting friendly. I highly recommend her for any quick trips or longer stays. Thank you so much, Elizabeth , for your wonderful care! Very professional.”



“I would definitely recommend Allyson. She was on time with her visits with our girl. She informed us of what she did for honey and she made it easy for us to be away.”


“Ashlyn once again did an amazing job looking after our pups. She stayed in great communication with us and took adorable photos of our dogs. We knew our dogs were in good hands while we were away.”


“Lindsey and Jose were amazing! I can't thank them enough for the way they took extra special care of our dogs. Their patience, communication, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond were impressive. We are so grateful and appreciative of them. Being away from my dogs caused me anxiety; Lindsey absolutely took the time to make me feel at ease and provided a ton of updates and pictures. We are excited to have people we can trust with our dogs moving forward and look forward to booking them again....thanks Lindsey and Jose!!!”


“Lauren was great! She gave my cat her pills everyday (which can be tricky!) while also checking on the water and food levels. She went above (in my opinion) by cleaning up a mess one of my little monsters made. I really appreciated everything she did!”



About: I have two special needs cats so I have tons of experience providing eye drops, ear drops, flea meds, and pills. I am a nurse taking some time off, and a frequent ASPCA volunteer and foster mom. I have experience caring dogs from senior Shih tzus to energetic three-tear old huskies. Big or small, I love them all! I am currently working from home with a very flexible scheule, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. We have a spare bedroom and a home with a large backyard, so we can take care of your pet’s needs easily. I live in a three bedroom house with two cats that are good about keeping to themselves. We have a spare bedroom I frequently use for fosters. For me, checking on other’s pets usually includes feeding, watering, play time, and litter box cleaning. My partner works out of town, so I will be the only person providing care to your pets.

“Therisa made me feel at ease after our initial meeting, and I had peace of mind that my boys were in good hands. Thanks so much, and will definitely use you again next time. ?❤️”


“Mia was absolutely great! She worked with me quickly when I had a last minute emergency, was easy to work with, and was such a professional. She made leaving my pup as easy as possible and as comfortable as can be. Mia is kind, communicative, and cares about your pets as much as her own. My dog, Doak, loved her and was so well taken care of. I would recommend Mia to anyone looking and will continue to book with her in the future!”


“Maria has been doing drop in visits for my two cats since 2022. She has been reliable and wonderful each time. This most recent visit one of my cats developed an infection and needed more frequent check ins and antibiotics. Maria was flexible and took such great care of him, keeping me updated along the way! Will always recommend her!”


“Thank you Robyn and Steven for another great experience taking care of Maggie and Spencer and their feline friends. Thank you for always being there available. We need to plan more trips just to have you guys come over. You are appreciated.”


About: I have a taken care of dogs since I was little. I currently have a very playful 1 year old lagotto. When I was younger I offer watched and walked my neighbors and sisters pets whenever they went out of town. Work 9-5 during the work week. Come home to walk and let my dog out during lunch. Home for most of the day on weekends. Being away for a hour or two max. I have a fenced in yard and a very playful 1 year old lagotto myself. If needed I can crate mine if needed and separate while feeding. Pets are allowed on furniture as they see fit. Let me know if you would like our dogs to meet first if you are unsure!

About: I am a full-time veterinary technician, I just graduated university and I’m on the path to veterinary school. My goal is not only to love on pets but extend medical knowledge to the families I care for! I have 2-3 off days each week so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I love working, especially when it comes to animals. I used to also be a kennel technician so I am very careful that dogs don’t come off leashes, any medications that need to be administered are given in a timely manner, and I am always kind and thorough to the individual pets I care for.

About: -I'm a very responsible animal lover. -I am also a certified veterinarian assistant -I have a 2 females pitbulls, a 5 year old and a 2 year old. -I enjoy taking my dogs on long walks, playing with them, taking them to dog parks and making sure that they are well loved and cared for. -I love animals and would like to care for your pet while you are away and make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. - I will treat them like famy because that is what pets are to me. This is my current job and I will be available for walks, drop ins, and house sitting. My schedule is currently very open to be able to accommodate your needs. For boarding: My backyard is not fully fenced in but I do have 2 leads outside that can hold up to 100lbs. My girls go in the backyard without the need of the leads. I also have 2 large cages that can be used if your dog needs to be crated. Hopefully your dog is dog friendly and can play with my girls, they love to play with balls, stuffed animals, tug a rope, and pretty much anything that keeps their attention. We also do daily training (sit, stay, come here, walk next to me w/o a leash and much more). They get weekly bathes, nail trims and their teeth brushed daily. They are allowed on the couches and on the beds. I also have blankets all over the apartment where they can lay down as well. (The dog beds get eaten so I stopped buying dog beds). I don't have any children but I do have neighbors with children that play with my dogs all the time. For at your house care: I will care you for your pet at home with the same love and care I do for my girls. If you have certain rules that need to be followed either by your pet or myself just let me know and that will not be a problem.

“Stephanie was so good with Nina. She definitely made me feel comfortable leaving her in her hands! She was also very accommodating and understanding.”
