“Kimiko was great! She was very attentive to Sadie’s needs and asked good relevant questions. She sent plenty of photos and made sure she was taken care of. I didn’t have to worry about Sadie at all!”
“Rebecca was reliable and so great with our dog. She communicated the details of her visit along with a photo. We will definitely use Rebecca again for our dog walking needs!”
“Rachel has been absolutely amazing taking care of our cat - he’s a bit older and has various meds but Rachel handled everything with ease, kept us updated throughout, and just clearly really cared about our cat and wanted to make sure he was comfortable and happy. We are really glad to have had her care for our cat over the holidays.”
“Justina was nothing short of exceptional with our babies! As a girl in her late 20s with older parents who were a bit on the fence using Rover, Justina came into the house with care and compassion and gave that same attitude with my girlies. She kept me in the loop with everything going on and made sure they were 100% taken care of while we were all out of town. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Abby was incredible! I felt at complete ease knowing she was taking care of jasmine while I was away. She was dependable, on time, and was incredible with communication.”
“Kimberly was fantastic, jumping right in to help take care of the cats when I had to rush off to the hospital with a heart attack! she even came to the hospital to get a house key”
“Emily is the soul of patience. She is utterly reliable, communicates well and while I was away, made every effort to win over my kitty, Basil as he hid under the bed. She went beyond the call of duty by coming by twice to go over what needed to be done before I went away. When I need to rearrange the dates due to a medical emergency, she was gracious and understanding. I would recommend her highly. ~Daphne”
“Megan was great with our pet visits this weekend! I had no worries while away, which was absolutely perfect! The pictures and update she sent were wonderful… and I’ll definitely reach out to Megan again for future visit!”
“Kaylie cared for our 2 cats while we were away. One of the cats has epilepsy and requires oral medication twice a day. Kaylie was able to give him his meds without any issues. Kaylie gained the trust of my cats quickly. By the end of the second day, one of my cats rolled over for belly rubs which is his sign that he accepts and trusts a person. I’m thankful that Kaylie watched our cats and I will have her watch them again.”
“Laura was able to watch my dogs with pretty short notice. She was great! She set up a meet and greet promptly. While we were away and she made the visit, she sent us 35 pictures which was awesome! I highly recommend Laura.”
“Above and beyond! I’m glad Kelly was able to pet sit because she was great. Took good care of Sophie and even handled a little unexpected issue with the sink while I was away. So happy with her. :) Gracias”
About: I have been around and taken care of pets for 34 years. 4 dogs of my own. As well as taken care of friends family pets. I have given medicine and provided senior care to my pets when they got older. I absolutely love meeting new people with pets and providing care for them. I only work part time and am able to fit in visiting your pet during those off days. Any time of day visits, to check in on your family pet. I care for pets like they are my own. They need us to be loving and caring and that's exactly what I do for my own and others.
About: My love for animals goes past just having them at home. I have 7+ years of professional animal experience. Ranging from daycare and boarding, training, and emergency medicine. Animals are my passion, and I strive to provide the best care for them in and out of a hospital setting. I have a deep understanding of behavior and special needs, from puppy hood to senior care. Ability to administer medications, monitor illnesses, and maintain a healthy, safe environment. I can also provide nail trims as a grooming add on, with regular clippers, or a Dremel (dogs only) for cats and dogs, as well as general grooming (brushing, ear cleaning, sanitary trims) I am currently a stay at home home, who works very limited shifts in emergency veterinary medicine. I maintain an open and flexible schedule to provide as much or as little care as needed. I am always vigilant when it comes to pets. Making sure they are properly secured in leashes, harnesses, etc. I am also trained in animal behavior, so ensuring their mental safety and keeping them out of high stress situations at all costs is important to me.
About: I am an absolute animal lover through and through. I was lucky enough to have grown up with an assortments of dogs, cats, rabbits, and other wonderful creatures and have been caring for animals my entire life. I have previously worked with horses at a retirement sanctuary, followed by caring for horses and children at a therapeutic riding facility. I spent several months in Namibia after college working hands-on with wildlife, ranging from cheetahs to baboons and everything in-between. Every animal and pet is different and requires patience and love in order to form a lasting bond. Your fur baby deserves nothing but the best and I am committed to making sure they (and you) feel comfortable with me. As is life, I've dealt with my fair share of heartache with my beloved animals. I've taken care of my dogs and cats through numerous surgeries, medications given at home for years on end, and watched carefully for any signs of distress or discomfort. I am comfortable giving medications as needed (as prescribed by your veterinarian). The culmination of my experiences have provided me the ability to care for a wide range of animals and their temperaments. Your animals comfort and safety is my highest priority and I will always treat them with the compassion (and energy) they need. My schedule during the week is extremely flexible and allows me the time needed to take care of your pets as needed and without rushing. I am here to work with you to meet your fur babies' needs! At the moment I do not offer pet care in my home, but this means your pet can stay in the comfort of their own home. I've found this provides a much more relaxed environment for your pet. As a homeowner, mother, and fur baby parent, I take great pride in my work and I will treat your pet and your home as my own and make sure everything is up to the highest standard.
About: Lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets big and small—especially cats and dogs! From playful pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own, with plenty of love, patience, and personalized care I work Mon-Thursday and typically am available after 3:30 on those days.

My goal is to make both pets and parents feel more comfortable when they can't be together.
About: I have grown up surrounded my animals and truly believe they can complete a family. From cats and dogs to horses and donkeys, I’ve done it all to ensure every animal is happy, healthy, and thriving in my care. I enjoy being outside, going for long walks and swimming with any animal! There is always an adventure to be had! I am currently in graduate school and looking to maintain a flexible schedule that meets the needs of your pets! Taking time to slow down and go for a walk or cuddle up with a dog after a long day/week will be beneficial for everyone! I can ensure that your dog will be safe with me. I take the time to make sure all fences and doors are closed and can crate your dog if applicable.

Chrystal B.
“Chrystal is an outstanding and cautious dog handler! She was super knowledgeable and flexible when I couldn’t keep up my word with my kids hockey and/or baseball schedule and ran overtime! She is super punctual and even trusted her enough to give her access to our home when we are not there. She constantly stayed in contact when she was working for us and in our house. I never felt uncomfortable with her! Chrystal is truly amazing and if you love your dogs as much as I love Xander, my German Shepherd husky mix, then you will understand that my recommendation is genuine and curated authentically based on time served. Not to be left out, is her professionalism, no matter what she was going through she showed up ready to do the job, and she never once “called out” or canceled due to weather. She understands that we rely on her, and she is worth the money and time spent.”
