“Hoai did an excellent job as a cat sitter during my extended weekend away. She was kind, responsive, reliable, and responsible. I felt like Yuri and Hanzo were in great hands, and I really appreciated the daily updates. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter. She really seems to enjoy what she does. I would 100% have her pet sit again!”


“David was an excellent care giver for our dog while we were away. He was on time, thorough, trustworthy, a great communicator and most of all, very attentive to our lively Boxer.”


“We booked Grace on somewhat shorter notice when our usual Rover sitter was out of town for the holidays. Grace was prompt, polite, and really tried hard to get our kitty to warm up. I think our girl is just a little bit of a diva but Grace handled it well and kept us updated on her progress. Overall very satisfied with our booking with Grace :)”


“Minghua (also goes by Alice) took amazing care of our elderly dog, Heide. We left town abruptly and she was able to do drop in visits with very little notice. Heide is 16 years old and requires daily medicine. Heide has recently refused to eat on a few occasions and wouldn’t eat while we were gone. Alice did everything she could to get Heide to eat her food - including hand feeding her. She went above and beyond with communicating that Heide wasn’t eating properly. We ended up coming home early to be with Heide. We are so thankful for the throughout communication and efforts with caring for Heide. We will definitely rehire Alice!”


“Zhenni was an amazing cat sitter! She was incredibly communicative and kept us well-informed about our sweetheart cat. She gave our cat all the attention and care it needed, and even sent us the most adorable pictures!”


“Hannah did a great job taking care of our cats. She sent us photos every day, made sure the kitties had everything they needed, and even checked to make sure our heater wasn’t running! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to make sure their pets are well taken care of. Thanks again Hannah!”


About: Hi, I’m Rachel — a dependable sitter who truly loves dogs. I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slow stroll and some quiet time, I meet them where they’re at. I’m gentle, attentive, and always make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. From long walks to belly rubs and everything in between, I aim to make every visit feel like home—even when you’re away. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I will have two main walking times early morning and late afternoon. Water and a treat will be provided after! Currently not boarding dogs in my place but I will happily come to yours and follow care directions! Your dog will receive compassionate and friendly care.

About: Choosing me as your pet caregiver means entrusting your beloved pets to someone who genuinely cares about their well-being. I am dedicated to providing the highest level of care, ensuring that each pet receives the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I am reliable, responsible, and always prioritize the safety and happiness of your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or finned) family members! I currently work full time job and get off work at 5pm. I am happy to drop in for a visit or for a walk after work on week days up until 9:00PM. Saturday evenings I am almost always available. I try to keep my availability open on the weekends for animal care. I currently live in an apartment and am unable to keep pets overnight. I would be able to care for pets in their home for a drop in visit. Clean water and food bowls are a must. Having a clean place to go to the bathroom is just another must. I would love to continue any of your normal routines. Maybe they get a special treat at a certain time of the day or expect a cuddle after going on a walk. Either way I am here for it. I am also well versed in watering plants, caring for fish and small snakes. Well I maybe have not cared for another specific pet such as a bearded dragon or bird, I am more than excited to follow your instructions. I love animals of all kinds. If you do have another animal that needs care please let me know and we can work out the details for their care.
