1. Lena B.

“Lena took very good care of our two cats. She was very thorough and updated us on each of her visits, including pictures. We have a very timid cat and Lena was able to gain his trust in a short amount of time. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. We look forward to working with her again in the future!”

10. Erica F.
“Erica was so incredible!! She took such good care of my dogs and took them on big hikes both of the days I was gone. I felt so comfortable leaving them in her care and was so grateful to come home to see that they were happy and a little tired from their adventures!! She kept consistent contact with me, sending so many pictures and it really provided a sense of relief and comfort knowing they were in such good hands!”


11. Allison J.

“Allison is as amazing! She helped our little guy recover from a surgery and made sure he was well loved on drop in visits while we had to work. Would definitely rebook her again! ❤️”


12. Caili R.
“Caili is an outstanding human being with a deep love for the animals around her - she cares for her pet snake, Jade like it is her daughter and will treat your pets with the attention they deserve as well! Look no further for all your pet caregiver needs!!!!”




13. Matthew E.
“Matt adopted a Siberian Husky when she was less than one year old from a family who simply did not have time this breed required. I remember telling Matt how much responsibility a dog like this requires and the money associated with a larger breed of dog. Boy did Matt prove me wrong! Bridger (The previously mentioned now 3 yr old Siberian Husky) is one of the happiest and most well behaved dogs I have ever had the pleasure of being around. Matt gives this dog as much respect and attention as he would to any person! Bridger is usually walked about 2-5 miles daily on various hikes, trials and adventures and always comes back to a friendly and loving home with Matt! I have watched Bridger multiple times for Matt and although I try my hardest to imitate Matt to make Bridger feel at home I simply cannot match his love and desire for Bridger and dogs in general! I think Matt would make an excellent dog caregiver based on his past 2 1/2 year sample size with his personal dog as well as his incredibly passionate attitude for showing both patience, respect, and love to all dogs he is around. If I had a dog, Matt would be the first person I called and may be the only person I would trust to properly take care of it! Deep down I'd feel comfortable in knowing my dog would be around a person who treats the dog with as much respect as they treat me!”


14. Melissa F.
About: My name is Melissa and I have taken care of animals since my first dog in second grade. I previously had a Labrador and Shih-Tzu who both lived until old age. I also fostered older dogs who could not find homes due to their age. I currently have a one year old yellow lab mix. He’s dog and cat friendly. In order to board your dog, your dog must be dog friendly. I also require a meet and greet to ensure it’s a good fit. I offer boarding in my home. I live in a second story apartment in an old building with a large yard. There is a picture of my apartment located within my pictures. I only board one animal at a time as it's a one bedroom apartment. It allows me to spend quality time with your pet! For boarding I do provide food dishes and toys, but many animals prefer to have some of their own. I also have a medium sized dog crate if required and requested. I have open availability on weekends, however I work from home on weekdays and there may be times I need to be out of my home for up to three hours. I have a camera in my home and will be able to remotely check on your pet if I need to be away for work. I will always inform you prior to the booking if I have appointments out of the home. I am experienced feeding animals in a variety of ways and will follow your instructions on feeding and walking. I ensure animals are well cared for, played with, and that they receive the attention and care needed.


15. Carolyn W.

“Took good care of my cats. Did everything I asked for, and even cleaned up some vomit on the floor, plus cleaned the wet food plates. Will do business again. Thank you”


16. Eliza H.
“Eliza is a wonderful, loving caregiver. She prioritizes the dogs in her care and treats them as if they are her own. She is active and able to tire out even the most energetic dogs! Your dogs will love her!”


17. Dionna D.
“I am extremely impressed with Dionna! I asked her to watch my dog Sprinkles when I went on vacation. I gave her directions of how to take care of Sprinkles and she followed step by step. She updated me frequently and didn't hesitate to ask questions if unsure of something. Highly recommend!!”




18. Rachel B.

“Rachel looked after our house and our ageing Border Collie for about 5 months several years ago. Both house and dog were in excellent condition when we returned. I would commend her reliability , trustworthiness, and responsible, caring attitude .”


19. Michelle G.
“Michelle is fantastic! She is reliable and trustworthy and absolutely loves working with dogs. She always puts her heart and soul into her job and is fabulous to have working for you.”


20. Francesca G.
“Francesca is a friend of mine that has taken care of my pets in the past. She has always done a great job, for example she has always been to my house in a timely manner, has taken my dogs on long walks, and when I've been out of town, she has sent me photos of my pets to give me updates. This is probably the most important thing to me because I love my pets and rely on the constant updates to make sure they are safe.”
