They were amazing! I have two dogs who never received care outside of boarding and they were communicative, transparent, and provided top care for my dogs. Would leave more stars if I could.

Dong was so great! He was super responsive and communicative ahead of the booking and during, and took lots of photos during each drop-in. Dong's professionalism made it so much less stressful to leave my <1 yr old cat for a few days - thank you, Dong!

I was nervous about leaving my cat for an extended period of time - almost two weeks. Rebecca reassured me before and during the trip that my baby would be ok. She took excellent care of him and he was calm and relaxed when I came home. Rebecca was great communicating with me, sending updates and photos/videos. I highly recommend Rebecca and will definitely be using her any time we are away!

About: Hi! I’m Zoe! My husband and I are passionate animal lovers who have always had pets in our lives. I have a pug named Pikachu in my family and he has a corgi named Mocha in his family, but after getting married and moving out, we’ve missed having pets around. That’s why I became a sitter—I truly enjoy spending time with furry friends! On weekends, we often help care for our friend’s Samoyed, Cairo, so we have experience with both small breeds like pugs and corgis, as well as medium-sized dogs. Whether it’s puppy care, senior dog care, I’m happy to provide loving and attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, and give them the care they deserve! 🐾 As a curriculum designer in school, I have a flexible schedule with extended breaks. I works from home, allowing for flexible potty breaks throughout the day. One dog at a time!! When pets stay with me, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I love spending time outdoors, so I always take them for walks and let them explore safely while I’m out on my daily walks too. I also enjoy taking photos and short videos to capture their happy moments and send daily updates to owners, so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I have had cats and dogs all my life. I currently have a Pittbull and 5 cats at home. I’ve been doing professional pet care since 2022. I’m currently working as a nurse and am looking for some extra income! My schedule is constantly changing but I do my best to update my calendar with my availability as often as possible. I usually know my schedule for work a month in advance. I don’t do overnight house sitting! I treat animals with respect and try to act in a way that respects their space and makes them feel as safe as possible. I will never force interactions between myself and a pet. They deserve clean places to live and top-notch care!

Deanna was absolutely amazing! Ours plans kept changing and she was so flexible and easy to work with. Our elderly kitty can be a bit of a drama queen an Deanna was quick to send videos and jump on the phone to make sure everything was okay. Tigger was so content and happy when we got home. I cannot recommend Deanna enough and know that whenever we’re out of town our first baby is in great hands.

Aleksandra was great with our cat! She sent us lots of pictures and dealt with all his tantrums effortlessly. He always looked very engaged in her photos, and he can be really lazy. We were always updated when she was dropping by. All his areas were kept very clean. She even helped with our plants, and they looked great on our return.

Liz was absolutely wonderful! From our first meeting, I felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care. My shepherd can be reactive on walks at times, so finding someone I trust with him is incredibly important, and Liz exceeded all my expectations. She was reliable, communicative, and sent thoughtful updates and photos after every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog and took the time to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. Would not hesitate to book Liz again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring sitter!
