Jadis was an excellent choice to watch my two dogs while I was away on vacation. From the very beginning, she made everything feel effortless…communicating clearly, showing genuine care, and keeping me updated so I never felt unsure about how my dogs were doing. My dogs were calm and happy when I returned, which says a lot about the attention and routine Jadis maintained. I could tell they were comfortable in Jadis’s presence. I’m genuinely grateful to have found someone trustworthy. I’d absolutely book her again for future trips and would recommend Jadis to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter.

Nicolle was a wonderful sitter to my cat while I was out on a holiday. She took great care of her while also making sure my home was in a good state for my cat. She is very caring and so loving towards my cat. She played with her, brushed her, petted her. She also made sure all the details were taken care of. Will recommend her and take her services once again :)

Kourtney is super experienced and great! Kourtney knew exactly how to interact with my foster cat when she first met her, which was a huge relief because my foster was still settling in. She cares so much for my foster cat, so much so that she wants to hear whenever she gets adopted.

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

About: I have lots of love for all types of animals! I know as a pet owner the deep bond and love we have for our fur babies. And sometimes we need someone to trust to take care of our babies while we are away! As a sitter I will ensure you don’t have to worry while you’re away and make sure your pet is happy and receives the best care :) I currently work a part-time job and have room in my schedule to be able to spend time and care for your pet! I’m usually available in the mornings and some days at night. I will ensure your pet is nice and safe so you don’t have to worry at all while you are away! I will be closely monitoring and spending time with them.

About: Hi! I’m a graduate student with a flexible schedule, looking for work that’s both enjoyable and rewarding, and caring for dogs is the perfect fit. I’m a true animal lover and a proud dog parent to my two pups, Salem and Infinity, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Whether your dog needs a walk, some playtime, or a quick check-in during the day, I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. With time between classes, I’m available and reliable when you need an extra hand. I’d love to care for your pup like they’re my own! 🐶💛 Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine as a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I have time between classes that I dedicate to walking, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with dogs. As a dog owner myself, caring for pets is already part of my daily life, so adding additional pups into my routine feels natural and enjoyable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, and receive attention and care based on their needs and personality. I’m very mindful of safety, checking that doors, gates, and yards are secure before and after visits, and ensuring the environment is clean and accessible for the pet. I treat every home with respect and make sure everything is left just as I found it, while keeping your pet happy, safe, and well cared for.

Joni is just amazing!! Our pup Milo loves Joni. She walks Milo 3 days a week and helps us out in a pinch. We get great updates from her. She’s helped Milo learn how to go on little bike runs with her and tires our little boy out when needed! She’s also so patient with Milo. We love her and recommend her for all your puppy needs :))))
