“Our dog absolutely loves going to Bibianas! She even gets excited when we mention her name. Bibiana always provides picture and video updates daily to let us know how things are going. Thank you again for taking such great care of our dog!”
About: I have about 2 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have provided dog-sitting and currently cat-sit, as well as offer drop-in visits to feed pets, let dogs out, provide companionship, and follow any specific instructions from their owners. I genuinely love animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I currently care for a cat who has been staying with me, and Monday through Friday I care for two of my neighbors’ dogs by letting them out, feeding and watering them, and spending time playing with them. I enjoy caring for animals and making sure they receive the attention and care they need. In my home, I care for our dogs and cats by feeding and watering them, grooming and bathing them, playing with them, and working on basic training. I make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and get plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I would follow their specific instructions and routines to make sure their pets receive the same level of care and attention they are used to.
“This was our second time booking with Mason & Kassandra and once again they exceeded our expectations! Leaving our dog Hailey behind is never easy, but they make the entire experience completely stress-free. From the moment we dropped our dog off, we knew she was in great hands. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our dog was getting plenty of love, attention, and excellent care. When we picked our dog up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly felt right at home. That says everything about the kind of care they provide. We are so grateful to have found such a reliable, kind, and trustworthy sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family. Thank you for another wonderful stay!”
“Donna was great! It was the first time leaving my dog using the app, and she was so reassuring and helped me feel comfortable. She sent us updates and photos every day, my Lola was safe and happy. Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve pet sat for a teacher, best friend and my aunt. I’ve worked with reactive dogs and dogs of different sizes and backgrounds, even mine. With every animal that I work with and take care of, I treat them like my own. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals thanks to working at pet supermarket. I’m currently not working but I am looking for a job. I’m available everyday, early mornings and evenings Monday - Saturday and all day on Sundays. While in a clients home, I will play your dog(s) for as long as they want with breaks in between. I will keep the house clean from any messes that may be made. While in my care, your pet will be treated with respect and I will love them as my own.
About: My animals are my everything and I know how hard it is to trust them with someone else. Yes, I am that dog Mom. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! From horses to parrots to cats and dogs of every size, I've never known life without them and it is such an privilege to care for them. I've trained service dogs and have experience with everything from toy breeds to gentle giants. I have experience volunteering at horse and dog rescues. My own two dogs are a bonded pair (a service dog and a therapy dog.) I believe our furry companions are family, and that's exactly how yours will be treated while in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, exercise, or simply a loving place to feel comfortable, I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to their individual personality and needs. I am communicative, respectful, responsible and attentive. Your furry family member will be loved and cared for as one of my own! My schedule is flexible. I am home full-time allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and individualized care. As a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to a service dog and a therapy dog, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. Your pet will enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, exercise, affection, and plenty of opportunities to relax and feel at home. I only accept one boarding guest at a time after a screening. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. With experience caring for animals of all sizes and training service dogs, I understand the importance of routines, patience, and individualized attention. My home is shared with my two bonded dogs, a German Shepherd and a Labrador. I require a meet-and-greet before boarding to ensure everyone is comfortable together. I follow each pet's feeding, exercise, and care instructions and provide a loving, supervised environment where they're treated like family.

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the services provided by Jani. From the moment we met, it was clear that she had a genuine love for dogs and a professional approach to pet care. My dog, Shadow can be a bit anxious around new people, but Jani put him at ease immediately. During our time away, kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which was incredibly reassuring. It was clear that Shadow was having a great time, receiving plenty of exercise, affection, and attention. When we returned, Shadow was happy and well-cared for, and our home was just as we left it. I highly recommend Jani to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. Five stars all around!”

Iris was great with Tessie! Her communication was perfect and you can tell she really cares about the dogs she takes care of. We felt very comfortable with her and Tessie was well taken care of. I booked Iris last minute. She helped me get out of pinch! We will absolutely use her again!! Highly recommend!
Kenneth did an excellent job of looking after my two Australian Shepherd’s for over two weeks. This was a big deal to us because my pets and I have never been away from each other for that long and to say I was a little anxious was an understatement. Kenneth did a great job of exercising my dogs and keeping them comfortable and stress free. He also provided plenty of updates and was very easy to communicate with. I will definitely use him in the future.
I had my cat stay with Piash while I was moving. I had relatives visiting at the time as well who own cats and my cat was spitting mad about their luggage, which one of their cats had laid on before they came. He was hissing at everything and in a foul mood. Once we was at Piash's he calmed down and when I came to pick him up he was like a different cat! He really enjoys spending time over there whenever I am out of town and always settles right in like it is his second home. Thank you, Piash!
Megan and her family were great sitters! They took great care of my Buster and her was very relaxed with her. She sent lots of pics and videos and Kelly me posted on his care. Her family really loved on him as if he was there own. I will definitely book again when we do our next trip!
We couldn't be happier with the care our dog receives! Angela & Jorge are reliable, caring, and truly treats our pup like family. It's such a relief knowing our dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while we're away. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!
Christian was great! We will definitely book with him again. He is very knowledgeable about dog behavior….. especially with our quirky Murphy. We appreciate his updates and photos on our trip. With his care and compassion for Murphy, I don’t think he missed us too much😝
I am so thankful for having the opportunity to leave Riley with Angie at her house. She is a pro!! Angie was caring and firm with Riley who is very playful and needed some behavior correction. She did it with passion and love. She is a natural dog sitter. Also, Angie is super organized, her house is clean and cozy. The yard is properly maintained. I highly recommend Angie and I am definitely planning on using her professional services again soon.
Melissa was a wonderful babysitter for our fur-baby, Chevi💗 She was so thoughtful of our feelings of leaving her with someone we didn’t know before. She sent us several pictures every day of their walks, which is Chevi’s favorite thing to do, along with playing Tug-o -war with her stuffed animals. Chevi had to be on a specific diet for a while and she did great at making sure that this diet was followed. Melissa was a great comfort to us during this time away!!
Maryanna was absolutely amazing! She was attentive, kind, and truly treated our dog like her own. She kept us updated and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We picked up a happy, well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend her, we’ll definitely book with Maryanna again!
We are so grateful for the amazing care our fur baby received over Thanksgiving! She was incredibly sweet and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We got daily updates and the cutest pictures, and it was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. It truly means so much knowing he was in such loving hands. We would absolutely love to use her again in the future, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable pet sitter! 🐾💛
