If there is one thing I'm certain of, it is that Jorrel has the biggest heart for all animals. When my pets were ill, the compassion and understanding she showed them was so beyond touching. As someone who is dependable, honest, and professional - I have no doubt she will go above and beyond as a pet caregiver.

From the start Shelby and Dalton made us feel so comfortable leaving our lil fur babies in their care. They came to our place 2x a day. This was our first time doing this and they will be the only sitters we go with. They were amazing with jinx and pumpkin, so much that our lil anxious rescues started going up to her on day 2! She sent pictures every visit with updates on them. We can’t say enough great things about them.

Gabriela is such a nice and sweet young friend. She has been a family friend of ours for now some time and has offered taking care of our dog whenever we have gone on vacation trips a few times in the past 3-4 years. In general, I appreciate Gabriela for her kind heart and I am certain she is somebody one can trust. I know she loves pets so I am excited for her to do this more often and hopefully make some extra cash doing such a lovely and fun task.

I recently hired Grace to take care of my three dogs, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Grace was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to my dogs’ individual needs. They all have a lot of energy, and one requires daily medication. Grace handled each of their personalities and needs with patience and care. They kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I returned, my dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. The house was also left spotless, which was an added bonus! I’m so grateful for the love and dedication Grace showed to my pets.

I have to say what a gift to yourselves AND your pet to have Amber in your lives! As an owner/parent of my well-loved pets, I truly can take a deep breath to knowing that she'll keep my fur babies, all fur babies safe. But not only safe, they'll be loved, cared for whether a young pup or one in their very senior moments needing extra care. Amber finds a joy in life that she shares with those around her whether human or animal. She doesn't sit and watch life go by. She looks for & finds the beauty in living, exploring & savoring the beauty in nature, and all living beings. My heart feels lighter knowing that Amber can walk/watch or just spend time with your pet(s) or my pets. They'll be safe, secure & looking forward to their time with her.

Husband, 2 kids, a cat, 2 dogs, a tortoise, a bearded dragon and 2 beta fish. I happily take care of them all! I have been responsible for caring for animals for over 40 years. I have cared for many kinds of animals since a very young age. I will happily take care of your pet just like my own. With lots of Love! Im a stay at home mom. Whose kids are in school. So i do have plenty of time for drop ins. 9am-2pm & 4-8 Mon-Fri / 9am-10pm Sat & Sun I may not be able to accommodate your pet in my home due to too many of my own pets and children. But I would gladly come to yours, and take care of your furry baby in whatever needs they may have. For the safety of your pet. I would rather not go to dog parks. But prefer going on solo walks or hikes and playtime in your home.

About: I have had animals ever since I could remember from dogs, cats, birds, hamsters and rabbits. I am truly an animal lover and due to my move I can't house an animal long term but am able to board when necessary. I miss the company of an animal so on my spare time I figured I could do this. Plus I remember the stress of leaving town and not have a reliable person to call on. I will keep owners updated and pay attention to details when left with the needs of their fur babies. I work part time. I get off by 1pm so I'm available for afternoons walks as well if your pet needs afternoons walks or company for a period of time. I have a fenced yard if potty breaks are needed middle of night. I enjoy walks throughout the day so your animal can relieve themselves as long with get some daily exercise.

Yvette is the most caring person I've met in my life. Not just to other humans but to animals as well. Yvette cares about animals as if they're human. She shows them great affection, along with guidance (training), she is consistent and respectful. While I was out of town for a month, I had great confidence leaving her with my two dogs. Not only did I trust her but complete faith if anything were to happen she would communicate with me, on top of do all she could in her power to assist my dogs. One of my dogs is elderly and hence if something happened to him naturally in his health I trusted he was in good hands. My other dog is younger only 4 years old and do to lack of time, she assisted in the consistency my dog needed to keep up with the training we've done with her. My dogs to this day after their month with Yvette love and greet her with excitement.

Rachel went above and beyond to take care of my cat while I was away. She was always on time and was regular with the updates. She genuinely cared for the well being of my cat and followed the instructions I left for her. She also organized the area where she played with my cat. I would definitely book her again for her drop in services when I am out of town!

Michelle Has been a very good dog parent to large dogs and small dogs. She has spent time making sure they were well fed, exercised and played with along with plenty of bath and love. She’s been a pet family forever and understands the temperament of all dogs and definitely knows and understands how to take care of dogs and any one who chooses this site would be very happy. Thank you Theresa Garcia

Holly is phenomenal and very trustworthy. She used to watch my cat every time I needed her to and he loved her to death. I realize he was not a dog but he sure acted like one haha. You can always count on Holly to get the job done and animals love her. I know if I had a dog, she would be the one I would want walking and caring for them when I was gone!

Laura was fabulous! I’m a helicopter cat mom and was really nervous about leaving my baby with someone, but Laura quelled my fears and answered all my questions with picture updates on my Obsidian. She sent me updates on my husband’s plants (he’s a botanist) and updated me on the mail. I would definitely use Laura again!
