“Julie was great! Communication was easy and timely, and she was very attentive and thorough in caring for our kitty and our place. She went above and beyond and we’ll be contacting her again for sure! Highly recommended.”

“I'm so relieved to have Maiya. I've already rebooked her for my next trip, and I don't even have my tickets for the trip bought yet. Jackson cat is a typical cat, but his stamp of approval is on this review too. As indicated by photo evidence of him coming out from under his bed for a snack on DAY 2! Snag her if you're lucky enough to have the chance.”

“Once again, so satisfied with Kim and the care she provides my little girl! She goes above and beyond to take care of Maple and I will always be so grateful!”

“Krista was awesome! One of my cats can be a little anxious and unwelcoming to new people, and Krista did a perfect job of following my instructions to accommodate him. By the end, I could see in the daily pictures that my cat really warmed up to her. I'll definitely be requesting cat care from Krista again!”

“Chenghao was absolutely amazing with my two boys while I went on vacation and kept me up to date on how they were doing. One of my boys typically does not like new people and he warmed up nearly instantly. Would absolutely love to work with chenghao again!”

About: With over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats from a young age, I provide attentive, loving, and safe care. I am skilled in managing pets with strong leash-pulling behaviors and handling various situations to ensure they remain calm, controlled, and away from danger such as harmful foods or chasing other animals. My priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of every pet under my care. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I have hands-on experience handling multiple breeds, from small Poodles to large Labradors and Bernedoodles, including dogs with strong pulling strength. As a Golden Retriever owner, I take my dog out multiple times a day for long walks and hikes, ensuring both physical exercise and mental stimulation. This routine has made me skilled at managing dogs of all sizes and energy levels. When caring for pets at my home, I create a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, regular walks, and consistent feeding schedules. I ensure they are comfortable, supervised, and get both exercise and affection throughout the day. At clients’ homes, I follow all provided instructions carefully—maintaining feeding times, walking routines, and any special care requirements. I respect their home and make sure pets feel comfortable in their own space while keeping them safe, engaged, and happy. If needed, I can provide video service to capture all the work I did since I completely understand how we as pet owners like to see what our best pet friend did with a new friend.

“Whitney has visited my 4 year old cat Clark on multiple occasions. On the most recent, I had to go away for the weekend, and Clark had gotten sick a few times earlier in the week. Needless to say, I was nervous to leave him. But Whitney was so responsive to all of my concerns and requests, and took really good care of him. Luckily there were no issues, but Whitney’s notes and care really helped put all my concerns at ease. Will definitely be requesting her services again!”

“Austin is a dream walker! I got about 20 adorable pictures a day, all wallpaper and insta worthy ? He looked after my boisterous boy with enthusiasm, care and diligence. I cannot wait to plan my next vacation only so that newton and Austin can have more time together! ❤️ thank you so much, Austin!”

“Sidney is very understanding and patient with our nervous and reactive pup. Halla isn’t the easiest dog, he needs a sitter who will give him time, space and lots of treats but also he needs strict boundaries and discipline. We are so happy to have found Sidney!”

About: I am a dog lover who work from home, so your pup will always have care and attention. My own sweet dog Nila loves having canine friends over to play or relax with! I pride myself on being highly communicative—expect lots of photo and video updates throughout the day :) Your pup will never be left alone for long stretches and can enjoy frequent potty breaks, walks, and play sessions throughout the day. We usually start the morning with a potty break and outdoor time. Midday includes more walks, visit to dog park, or play with Nila. We wrap up the evening with another outdoor break and wind-down time. Whether your dog is playful or prefers a quiet spot to relax, we’ll adjust the routine to meet their needs. We live in a quiet, dog-friendly residential area surrounded by parks, grassy trails, and trees. We live on the first floor, with quick and easy access to the outdoors, including a dog run.

“Hannah was awesome with our 11 yo rescue dog, very caring and spent quality time with her. Hannah is very responsible, showed up promptly, and Luna was very happy with her visit (we were too)!”

About: Hi! I'm Yashu, and I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I was the proud owner of a wonderful family dog for 13 years, and that experience taught me how to care for dogs with love, patience, and consistency. I've also walked and looked after dogs around my neighborhood, helping friends and neighbors with everything from quick walks to overnight pet sitting. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits and am happy to do whatever makes your pet feel most comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs lots of exercise or a chill senior dog who just wants company and cuddles, I adapt to their needs and routines. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Let me know how I can help! I’d love to meet your furry friend! I'm currently working a full time job but I would love to care for a walk your pets on weekday evenings or weekends! This way, you can freely unwind from your busy day without worrying about evening pet care, or go away for the weekend knowing that your pet is in good hands. For dog walking, I make sure each walk is tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. Whether it’s a brisk, active walk or a calm stroll, I will make sure that your dog is enriched and having fun. I always prioritize safety by using secure leashes and staying aware of the environment. I also give plenty of positive reinforcement, playtime, and bathroom breaks during our outings. During drop-in visits, I follow your instructions closely. I will be checking food and water, giving pets affection and attention, cleaning up as needed, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to maintain their routine and keep them happy until you return!

About: My first full-responsibility pet was a hamster named Herman at the age of 8, but growing up, I also contributed to the care of the many dogs my family had at various points in time. I was scooping the backyard and (when we were away) walking the dogs even earlier. When I was older, and the rest of my family went out of town, I was solely responsible for their care. Though I don't currently have a dog of my own, I regularly walk and sit for friends of mine that do (I joke that that's how I get my fix). I'm patient with puppies and careful with seniors, and overall, I understand and respect a dog's body language. I can handle high energy as long as it's not agressive! In addition to cats and dogs, I'm happy to take care of exotic/small animals, top off fish tank water, water plants, etc. I've personally cared for birds, rabbits, hamsters, and fish, and I'm very knowledgeable on general husbandry and willing to research/listen if you have an animal I'm unfamiliar with. Also, I won't overfeed your fish :) (it's happened to me). I'm working full time, so weekday drop ins would happen on my way to or from work (or later in the evening). Generally about 8AM in the mornings or 4PM or later in the afternoons. On weekends, I volunteer at DCHS 1-4 on Saturday, but I am otherwise free :) Over everything else, I respect the animals' wishes. If an animal is shy or frightened, I won't force them to interact. If they're playful, I'll play with them. I try to understand and use the body language of the animal I'm caring for, and I am always on the lookout for signs of stress/illness and will immediately contact you if anything seems off to determine next steps.
