“Ann does a great job with our cats and our dog and is very flexible. She is very loving to all of them. We have used Ann’s services several times!”
“My dog is very nervous of new people, but Emma was awesome! She did absolutely everything to make Bailey comfortable and was very communicative. She even took time to give a little love to my kitties. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Ainsley was very helpful and did a great job. Came home to a happy dog.”
“Cassie has been such a wonderful caretaker for our cats. She spends quality time with the cats and ensures everything is clean and in order. Cassie goes above and beyond, was very flexible, and was such a big help. The cats absolutely adored her and seemed to really enjoy her company.”
“Such a kind person and an animal lover to the core. Shinji loved having Maria over! She also gave love to our cat even though he didn't need to be taken care of. I can't recommend her enough, she clearly knows what she is doing and loves the animals that she sits. Will definitely keep in touch if we go travel again. Thank you so much!”
“Rebecka, is an outstanding sitter. Dolly loves her and she takes outstanding care of here. Always keeps me updated, with photos and a nice write up.”
“Caitlin was wonderful with my puppy and very accommodating. She was available at the drop of a hate when I needed her and even when I needed to change the time we had agreed on. She is very sweet and enjoyed playing with my puppy. Highly recommend 😊.”
“Alison was incredible! I knew from when she first met Nigiri that he would be in great hands. She was super timely, flexible with his feeding schedule, and always cuddled with him. I could easily tell from all the photos that he adored her right away. I hope there will be a time where Alison and Nigiri can hang out again soon!”
“I’m very happy that animal lovers like Eko and Sarah get to experience the joy that we often do with our dogs. Work requires a long commute for both my husband and I, and we worry about their need for potty breaks and being able to enjoy the day. I cannot express how truly grateful I am for their help in ensuring the well being of our dogs, our peace of mind, and the very modest rate they’re requesting to do so. While very relaxed in our request for help, Eko and Sarah were taking notes (literally) on what we hoped to achieve on their drop-ins, even exceeding requested times to ensure the welfare of our dogs. I thank them for this peace of mind, and I look forward to all the photos of future adventures they experience! (As my husband and I continue to work and “make that puppy food!”).”
“Felicia was amazing! Fenty had a blast and was well cared for!”
“Vivian was great with our two cats. She cared for them exactly as we requested and was available with fairly short notice. She provided lovely updates at each visit and the boys seemed like they enjoyed their time with her. We would definitely book with her again in the future.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including administering medication. Currently caring for my six-year-old Labrador, ensuring daily exercise and proper health care. Currently working part-time at a vet clinic. I have open availability midweek and weekends, including early mornings and late nights for flexible pet care scheduling. I have a large yard with a dog run (no fence) and a friendly 6-year-old dog. Crating is available if you provide one for me.
“Jessie took care of my three cats while I was away. I usually am worried but I knew there was no need to worry. She took great care of my cats and sent me pictures. They knocked over a vase and she let me know and picked it up. They were not meowing like crazy when I got home, I can tell they were well taken care of. One of my cats known to hide all the time when sitters come over, came out (a miracle!). I 100 percent recommend!”
“Kayla did a fantastic job, she met Zesus before the scheduled sitting. Provided a few amazing pictures while I was away. And went above and being when something came up. Couldn't recommend her enough!”
About: I grew up with a pet friendly neighborhood. I provided care for birds, hedgehog, hamster, turtle, cats, dogs. Not snakes. I have a pet CPR from Red Cross. Currently I’m a nurse that cares for animals as well as humans. 🥰🧶🐾 Would love to learn and care for your furry friend! (Food, playtime, meds, etc). For small pets available for boarding at my place. Drop in visits and for bigger pets I could onboard at your place if needed. At this moment I am available M-Sat and Sunday afternoon forward. The apartment size is good for small companions such as hamsters, turtle, bird, goldfish. For dogs and cats, can do visit your pet and look after their needs.
“Ashley was very attentive and great in communicating and keeping us updated with the walks and check ins while we were away. They were well care for and left us at ease. The doggie report card and updates were very positive.”
About: When young, I walked neighbors' dogs often, then had a family dog for 6 years. Have cared for both dogs and cats belonging to neighbors and family friends. I am always happy to come by to keep your pet company, indoors and out! My dog, Reed is a larger breed so I feel prepared for any size animal and their energy. I ensure that I know the expectations for a pet beforehand, so that I can care for them how their owner wants. I am happy to cuddle your dog all night, or keep them company while in their crate!
“Kaylee took great care of Trista while we were away!”
“We appreciate you both so much! We were stressed because we had a cancellation last minute but we are so glad it worked out. Thank you for everything! We will be booking again!!”
