“Norma was wonderful! From start to finish, with my cat sitting request. Kept me updated, and even got my shy girl out to play. It made a wonderful trip that much better knowing my girls were in good hands.”
“Hope always does such a great job with my two kitties. She takes the time to get them out and about and take pictures. She takes care of everything I ask her to handle. A+ review”
“Guadalupe did a fantastic job dropping in on my cat! She took awesome pics and communicated with me throughout the week I was gone. I would highly recommend her!”
“Sara was fantastic! She gladly agreed to meet us in advance for a meet and greet and our dog immediately gave her kisses! A good sign for our usually hesitant dachshund. :) She made us feel extremely comfortable leaving our baby in her hands and didn’t flinch at my paranoia regarding our sticky door lock. She arrived on time for all scheduled visits, stayed plenty long enough for Madeiline to do her business and still get some snuggles in. She was super responsive and sent multitude of pictures of their adventures. Arrived home to a happy and relaxed puppy. Would definitely recommend Sara to any other dog parents out there and will be using her again ourselves. Thank you Sara!”
“I'm running out of ways to say how wonderful Brittany is! My boys simply love her and I have such piece of mind when away knowing they are in her care. She's the best photographer, responds almost immediately, and is truly just the best. Can't recommend her enough !!!”
“Tommy and Julie were fantastic this past week. They came over in advance to meet our cats and see what their routine was like. They asked lots of questions to make sure the booking was a good fit for us and them. They were very friendly and responsive while we were gone, they arrived on time every day, brought in packages and mail for us when they were here. They took time and care to feed the cats, clean their dishes and played with them every day. We received daily pictures and video from them as well. Would definitely recommend them and will be using them again as well!”
“Brianna took amazing care of my 3 kitties. They absolutely loved her. Her communication was excellent and my cats barely noticed I was even gone. She did the cutest arts and crafts projects with them, brushed them, took out the trash and left my place spotless (other than the amazing arts and crafts I came home to.) All of my instructions were followed perfectly, she never left any trash behind, and brought so many treats and toys for the kitties! She came to meet the kitties ahead of time and bonded with them so fast. I would trust Brianna with my cats in a heartbeat and I don’t even trust my parents with them.”
“Barbara was so friendly and amazing. She was so attentive with Sammy, and she gave really nice updates that made me feel better while away from my cat! Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have done sitting on the side for family and friends. I have raised my dogs from puppies to now they are 15 and 10 I also got a kitten about a year ago and she’s been enjoying the ride ever since! I am currently in college. I am planning on getting another part time job so I will be sure to communicate with my clients the schedule for that. I take care of my own pets everyday and would love to add yours too. I have grown up with animals my whole life so their routine is my routine. I believe that we owe it to our pets to make sure their needs are met and that they are happy.
“Brookelynn was super nice! She took on a drop in visit last minute and made sure my fur baby was well taken care of! She was also very responsive and kept me in the loop every step of the way!”
“Gwen did an awesome job watching our cat, Sulley! They really bonded while we were away — she talked to him, gave him lots of attention, and took great care of all his needs. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being, and that made it so much easier to be away. I could tell Sulley was comfortable and happy with her. Highly recommend Gwen if you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and great with animals!”
“Our two cats love Haley and so do we. I know they’ll be taken care of the same way that we do which is a great relief while we’re away. Thank you so much, Haley!!”
“Linnea followed through on all we requested. Our cat seemed to love Linnea's visits, and he was a happy cat when we got home. Having Linnea care for our cat was so much better than have a neighbor come in to check on our cat. We could tell Linnea loves cats.”
About: I have been a Petco certified dog trainer since I was 18 and have dog/house sat many times since! I treat your dog like family and your home with respect! I am flexible! I am available Mondays and Thursdays all day. Saturdays I get off work at 2:00pm I work 9-5 during the rest of the days of the week. But I always need an excuse to use PTO so watching your fur baby won’t be problem! I just need a two week notice Quality time will be spent with your fur baby to make sure they keep busy. Plenty of playtime and mental stimulation. I love using puzzle toys, snuffles and other things to get a dogs mind working!
“Sam did a great job with our kitties. Reliable and gave us the peace of mind that our fur babies were well taken care of. They were happy and we appreciate the wonderful job she did!! Would definitely recommend :)”
