“Karolina is the best cat sitter we have ever had!! This is our second time working with her and we’re so grateful to have found her. She takes extra special care of our two cats and also leaves our home so clean and tidy during her stays. She sends lovely updates. She has even been able to get our shy cat to come out and play some. We also appreciate that we can be hard to reach when out of town but she’s always on top of things. We highly recommend her services. Thank you again, Karolina!”
“Madison was great. She took excellent care of my 19 year old cat who also needed thyroid medication twice daily. She was quick to understand what was needed and left the house looking clean and tidy. Sent the cutest photos too! I will definitely ask for her help with my cat again.”
“Excellent! Kept me updated with pics and used my Louie 101 note that has all of his info, commands, and routine. Very professional and my dog had an amazing time! Will book again”
“Jase was a FANTASTIC home caretaker & dog sitter for Zooey and Nelson during a recent 12 night stay. Jase was attentive and adaptable to each dog’s unique needs. Jase even asked about our house plants watering schedule that was not included in the lengthy care instructions. Jase left no detail unaddressed. Jase provided frequent updates and pictures of the dogs and was super communicative and responsive when I reached out to see how things were going; yes, I am a helicopter Dog Dad. I, as well as my spouse, are so appreciative of Jase’s kindness and care of our home and “kids”. I would rebook and recommend Jase’s house/dog sitting services to anyone in a heartbeat! Jase is simply the BEST! A 5 star rating isn’t enough; I’d give 10 out of 10 hands down! THANK YOU, JASE!”
“Nathaniel was great! He made sure that our two kittens were as comfortable as possible, even when it took several days for them to adjust to having a new person in the house. He communicated regularly, and everything was exactly as we left it when we got home from our trip.”
“Shayla was very sweet with our kids, especially with our very senior Lady Ume. She kept us updated texting and with photos. Shayla was respectful of our home and we returned home to a clean and tidy house. We have already reserved Shayla for a second visit.”
“Bale recently watched our dog during a long weekend away. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Bale gave us plenty of updates and photos while we were away, which gave us peace of mind that our dog was happy and in good hands.”
“Tiny was very helpful. I asked her help for the first time, and she stayed over until I get home. Sending me pictures and some updates for my puppy, Moon. Thanks so much for all your help today :) she really made me comfortable to take care of Moon. Definitely recommend her!”
“Philip is seriously the most ideal dog sitter. Knows how to manage dogs behaviors and communicates well. I seriously feel so lucky to have found him. We have a high energy dog and it felt so nice to have someone who knew how to entertain and also love our dogs so well. Thank you Philip!”
“Daryia is the sweetest person ever!! She was amazing with our sweet dog and took such good care of him. Our dog is older and has a few heath issues and Daryia put so much thought and care into making sure he was okay. I can’t recommend Daryia enough!!”
About: I have experience in vet med, so I will be able to keep a detail-oriented eye on your pet's health and wellbeing. If it comes to it, I can take your beloved companion to the vet clinic while you're out of town and see to any at-home care they need, no problem. I currently make my income entirely through app-based freelance work, making it easy to interweave schedules. I can check in on your pet, go out and work for 2-3 hours, then come back again. ADHD tendencies serve me well in this situation-- I can focus on a show, a book, or working on my laptop, while still being peripherally aware of what your pet is doing, and taking time to check in and give lots of scritches and belly-rubs. I live in a shared housing situation, so I have plenty of experience leaving an environment that is not my own exactly as I found it.
About: I’ve had small pets since I was very little and learned how to care for them over the years. I would often pet sit for my neighbors and family friends pets. I have experience with cat sitting and dog sitting for small-medium sized dogs. I’m conscientious with high to low energy levels of pets and with very young to older pet care. I can do daily drop in visits and dog walks with my flexible schedule. I can communicate with you what times will work for me during the week you would like me to visit. I’m very attentive of feeding, water, medication and litter box care. I’m very conscientious of introducing myself to a pet for the first time. And if there ever is an emergency I will contact you immediately.
About: Experience with reactive dogs, large dogs, and dogs working on training programs. Positive reinforcement and prioritizing the comfort of the dogs in my care is a MUST. My schedule allows for ample flexibility to meet your needs! Early morning feedings are never a problem for this early riser, and frequent potty break needs are never a worry! I have a service dog who typically accompanies me in all that I do and he loves to play with new friends, though I do have some capacity to leave him in the event of reactive pups on my schedule! I also have a fenced yard if your dog needs space to run in a safe and controlled environment.
“Cadence did a great job looking after our pups. She was very responsive and sent us lots of photos while we were away. She also left the house very clean. We would use her again for sure!”
“Janette did a fantastic job house and pet sitting for us. She made sure to send pictures and updates multiple times a day. She treated our dogs very well, they were both very happy with her! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again when needed.”
