1. Victoria C.

“Victoria was very calm, collected and kind. She was flexible with our last minute needs and able to handle our very high energy doberman puppy with ease. Will be booking again - 10/10!”


2. Charlii C.

“Hiring Charlii to care for our two 13-year-old dogs for eight days was one of the best pet-related decisions I've ever made. Our sweet goblins are rescues with pretty complex medical and emotional needs, and Charlii handled it all with ease. One of them struggles with being left alone for more than short periods of time, and Charlii was great about hanging out with him and taking him on little adventures when she needed to be away. Our other pup is dealing with chronic kidney disease, she can be a mess (literally), but it didn't seem to phase Charlii at all. Her daily updates were frequent, including lots of photos and videos, which really helped me relax and enjoy my vacation. She handled medication (including oral) with no problems and was very attentive to all of their other needs & quirks. We also returned to a tidy house and even some welcome-back flowers, which was lovely! After the pups joined our family and we discovered how needy they were, I was afraid that I'd never be able to leave town again. I knew there was absolutely no way I'd be comfortable boarding them after the trauma they'd experienced with abandonment and living on the streets. Charlii saved us! It was such a relief to know our guys were safe, healthy and getting lots of love while we were away. We'll definitely be having Charlii back. She has such a warm, professional demeanor and is so reliable that I'd never hesitate to recommend her. The pups and I are super grateful!”


3. Qishu Z.

“Qishu was amazing with our high energy dog and extremely communicative with us. We received lots of updates and pictures over all the days we were gone. We would unreservedly recommend Qishu to anyone!”


4. Melina B.

“Book her without hesitation! It was the first time that my husband and I were having a dog sitter over our house so we were a little anxious, but Melina was extremely kind and helpful. She was sending a lot of pictures and updates of our puppy while my partner and I were out. Our little Sansa loved her! Plus she gave us a lot of advices about training and puppy behavior! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”


5. Anais D.

“We love working with Anais! Her care of our senior Schipperke, Maz, has been expert and attentive. Being 17 years old, Maz has a lot of needs and Anais has cared for him both during the day and overnight, and we've been so grateful for her attentiveness to him around his routine, his meds, and for making sure he feels taken care of and loved. We're so glad we connected with Anais and will definitely be contacting her in the future!”




6. Cathy C.

“Cathy is communicative, respectful, and very loving of my pup. She’s been super helpful over the holidays and easy to schedule with. Always come home to a happy pup.”


7. Dennis H.

“Dennis was a wonderful house and pet sitter for us while we were away for a week. He took good care of our two dogs and two cats so we could actually have a relaxing vacation, knowing they and our home were in good hands. We will definitely book him again.”


8. Krystle S.

“Krystle is amazing. My dog loves her and she took great care of our home. Communicative, lots of photos and videos of my pup. Highly recommend!”


9. Korin M.

“I’m so happy Korin had availability to watch Leo and Oscar! I had never left one of my dogs with a sitter before and he can be shy and nervous. She was great with both of them, super communicative, professional, and friendly. Can’t recommend enough!”


10. Mary L.
“Mary truly understands dogs—not just as pets, but as individual beings with their own personalities and quirks. She took the time to connect with our dog, honoring his unique character and needs. I know that Mary has worked with every temperament you can imagine—from shy and sensitive to bold and high-energy—and she handles each with patience, love, and incredible care. She’s fun-loving and playful, but also remarkably in tune with each dog’s energy.As dog owners, we also felt so supported. Her communication is top-notch—she always kept us in the loop, was responsive to any specific instructions or concerns, and made sure we felt completely at ease while away. Our pup clearly adored her, and so did we. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!”




11. Kye O.

“Kye was great! Went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable before leaving Romeo with an in-person pre-meeting. Not only was I updated throughout the trip with cute photos and videos, my home was cared for and left in the same manner it was in before my trip. Thanks for great communication and care for Romeo!”


12. Jessica L.
“I highly recommend Jess for anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter! She showed up exactly when she was supposed to, kept me updated with messages and pictures, and was very respectful of my home. Even my usually grumpy cat didn’t seem to mind her presence—which says a lot! It was such a relief knowing my cats were in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”


13. Tiana P.
“Tiana was great with our dogs and it was such a relief to know they were in capable and loving hands. We have an anxious pittie, and Tiana was wonderful with him. We would definitely book her again!”


14. Dane E. C.

15. Alyssa S.

“Alyssa is an incredible sitter who pays close attention to detail and asks a lot of questions to better understand your pet's schedule. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”

About: I don’t just care for your pets, I treat them as part of my family. I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing, resting, or giving them attention, and I want your pet to feel loved at all times. I am currently available to care for your pets at any time, whether it’s during the day, night, or weekends. I offer flexible scheduling to fit your needs and ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. I know that the most important thing is pet care, and one of those is their feeding. I can provide food at any necessary time, in case they have a specific feeding schedule, and I can do it without any problem. I will also dedicate enough time for play or bathroom breaks.
