“Amia is a very professional cat sitter. She provided all affection , love and care to our Simba cat during the visits. I received all updates regularly. I will definitely go ahead with her upcoming visits.”
“Anne took great care of our dog. We were reluctant to leave him because he is an elderly dog and gets very anxious when we go away. We are very glad we found Anne as she was so good with him! She kept him on his schedule and kept us well-informed on how he was doing. It put us at ease knowing he was being well-cared for and very evident when we came home to our happy boy! I would highly recommend Anne as she is a loving and caring pet sitter. Thank you!”
“Alexandra did a wonderful job dropping in on our cat for an extended weekend. We booked with short notice and Alexandra was able to accommodate. The communication was great throughout with updates and pictures. We will definitely be booking Alexandra for future pet sitting needs! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, and professional pet sitter.”
“Bhali was so helpful and caring with our two dogs. They were well taken care of and very happy to go on walks with her. She catered to their needs and we appreciated the punctual check-ins with detailed updates and photos. Thank you so much Bhali!”
“Eliza was great at caring for our cat, two parakeet birds, one betta fish, and two snails for three weeks! Thank you so much, Eliza, and see you next time when we are out of town!”
“Mirella did a fantastic job pet sitting our two guinea pigs over Christmas. One of our pigs is elderly and has health issues, and Mirella handled them very professionally and compassionately. We felt so much better traveling knowing that our pigs were in good hands at home. Thank you!!”
“Julie was fantastic. She took great care of Matcha and was super thorough in following instructions and thoughtful in her care. She was very communicative and ensured we received comprehensive and timely updates. I would highly recommend her to other families looking for pet care.”
“Giana was great! She took care of our two pups for 3 days while we were out of town and was great with communication. One of our dogs is more skittish and people shy and Giana was very patient and willing to try all the tricks to get her outside. I would book Giana again!”
About: My first sentence was “I like cows!” so you can guess that I have always loved animals. I have taken care of babies, houseplants, houses, dogs, and cats and am a trusted caregiver to all creatures. I work part-time at a museum, so my schedule is flexible. Filling in the rest of my week taking care of animals is the best use of my time I can think of! I am one of those people who talks to animals constantly. I also do a lot of activities, such as crochet, where the experience is improved by having an animal sit next to you. Your pet will never feel alone.
“Meena has been an absolute god-send to me & more importantly our dog Jackson. Meena truly cares and her approach is professional & loving. Her communication is timely and I really appreciate that our dog, who is visually impaired and a diabetic. is so well cared for when being watched by Meena. I highly recommend her!”
About: I can take on the most hyper of dogs (I have one myself). I understand the high demand of a hyper dog and am ready to walk and play with your furry friend! I can also care for small critters! I work 2p-10p full time as a behavior specialist with individuals with autism. I am available most mornings and am available for overnights after 10pm! I always ensure that my pets have everything they need: lots of love, an extra long walk on sunny days, toys to play with, and food that meets their diets needs.
“Rebecca was very efficient and my cat was able to eat well and have a friendly companion while I was away. I felt in good hands. I would definitely recommend Rebecca!”
“Ashley was amazing. She came the week before to meet us and the dogs. She confirmed appointments, gave us an update after the visit and sent pics. We love her and will be using her again!”
About: I’ve dog sat for a number of families and their furbabies over the years. I grew up with a rescue border collie and lived with a belgian shepherd (a former roommate’s pet) so I am experienced with high energy breeds. If scheduled far enough ahead of time, my work is incredibly flexible so I can work from home whenever required for about a week. Longer pet sittings I would need clearance from work. Otherwise I an able to do walks in the morning (6am) before I go to the office and can leave early for a walk around (12pm) to then remain home with your pet for play and more frequent walks the second half of the day. I have an apartment that has a dog park within walking distance. My apartment has a balcony and your pet will never be out there unsupervised or unleashed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old! Friends, family and other relatives have relied on me to make sure their animals were well taken care of and I provided! I can pretty much do whenever! Weekends are iffy but I’m willing to make adjustments as needed to make sure your fur babies are okay and happy! I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own who I play with and take care of daily! We play, have potty breaks, I bathe her and she would love to meet new friends!
“Nina was very easy to work with. We are thankful of her availability and understanding. She took photos and gave us updates. Will definitely have her take care of our babies in the future again.”
“Carly treats my dog as she would her own. She’s patient toward my shy pup and puts in extra effort to make her comfortable. I feel very assured Layla is in great hands when I’m working and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
About: I have some experience with dogs. I don’t mind cleaning up after any dog. I also enjoy going for walks and playing fetch with dogs. I am currently a college student at Rider University. I have almost full availability to care for your precious fur baby. I’m available both before and after class as well as many nights. I can easily care for your fur baby with any directions left. I will be able to spend time and play with them while also making sure they are comfortable.
