“Diana was excellent to work with, from beginning to end. We had a relatively short timeline before going out of town but Diana was very prompt in her communication, notes about our dog and the walks they went on were clear, and we felt very comfortable with her coming into our home while away. We would definitely work with Diana again in the future. Highly recommended.”

“Kiarra is so great with our puppy! She’s so patient and kind with our 10 week old pup, which can be difficult at times with those sharp little teeth.”

“Rick is absolutely amazing. We have two sweet, but anxious pups and they were immediately in love with him. Rick was attentive to them, kept us informed, and was so understanding/respectful of maintaining the same environment for the pups that we try to keep while at home. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dogsitter or walker!”

“Kelsey is great! She takes my black lab out weekly, and Kay is always so happy to see her. She makes sure she goes to the bathroom and gets a good walk in - highly recommend!”

“Crystal was truly a miracle worker with my boy Dino. He became a bit stressed after a recent vet visit and then more so after I wasn’t home. Thanks to Crystal I had no worries. She reassured me after each visit with plenty of updates and photos. She went above and beyond the call of any sitter to keep Dino safe, clean and comfortable.”

“Olivia did an awesome job ! It's always hard trusting someone to care for your babies but she gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat warmed up to her right away which made me happy that they had company while I was gone 🥰 she even took the initiative to clean up and always reached out if she had any questions. She was quick to respond, followed all care instructions, and the communication was great! Lots of pics ☺️ I highly recommend her and look forward to having her sit for me again !”

“Jassmyne was very friendly and helpful! We had a video meet and greet before booking which was a great way to see that she pays attention to details. I really appreciated her help and will book again”

About: As someone who grew up with two German Shepherds for over ten years, I love caring for all furry animals! Besides caring for and walking my client’s pets, I have dog- and cat-sat for friends and family in the past. About two years ago my family adopted a German Shepherd who has exocrine pancreatic insufficiency so I’ve also gained experience in managing care for pets with complex dietary and medical needs while making sure they feel loved! No animal is too big or small - I would be excited to be your pet’s next best friend! Throughout the weekdays, I have classes in the morning. This means I can happily play, walk, and/or visit your pet during the early or late afternoons. I can also do sittings, drop-ins, walking services, and longer visits during the weekends. As someone who grew up with dogs, I always observe body language and movements to make sure that the pup (or kitty) is comfortable with me approaching them or before doing any action (e.g., petting them, giving them food, walking them, taking them outside, playing with them, etc.). Taking care of your pet is an honor that I will regard with the high respect it deserves. I will make sure to follow any of your instructions or preferences when caring for your pet!
“Jessica was very accommodating with my relatively short notice trip. One of my cats can be very shy but he felt comfortable enough to come for most of her visits. Everything looked great when I returned home. I would definitely use Jessica again!”

“Kaprice was kind and patient with our cat Dot while we were away. She followed our care instructions, left visit notes, and gave Dot lots of pets. I would recommend hiring her to care for your furry family member!”

About: Hello there! I’m Sai, and I’m absolutely pawsitively thrilled to be your go-to pet sitter. 🐶🐱 Growing up surrounded by wagging tails and fuzzy whiskers, I’ve developed a deep love for all things furry. Dogs, cats, hamsters—you name it, I’ve probably cuddled it. I work from home. I’ve got a heart full of love and a schedule that allows me to spend quality time with your beloved pets. So, whether your fur baby needs a midday cuddle or an emergency treat stash replenished, you can count on me! 🐾 I live in an apartment complex with very lovely people and an amazing environment to go on walks and play outside in the park we have. ☺️
About: I've cared for dogs and cats since a very early age. Walking, bathing, playing, and nutrition care are the fundamentals for an environment your fur baby thrives! As a true animal lover, I'll treat yours as I treat my own. 🐾 My work schedule is unique and grants every other month off. I have open availability for the "off" months. Prefer morning to early afternoon bookings, yet flexible to meet your busy schedule. 🐾 The safety of home and loved fur friends are top priority. I believe trust and respect are earned through professionalism, consistency, clear communication and a genuine connection with all involved. 🐾
“I had an outstanding experience with Lee. When my scheduled sitter canceled Lee was available at the last minute to provide coverage for my fur babies. Lee provided the time, attention and affection to my Dino, Poppy & Trish. Lee took best care and followed my instructions. Even went above and beyond to tidy up before I returned. Thank you so much Lee - I know they were the happiest bunch to have you.”

“Emily dropped in once a day to check on our two cats for several days while we were away. She is EXCELLENT with communication. We never had a doubt that our cats werent getting enough love with Emily. 10/10 would ask Emily to cat-sit again! Thanks Emily!”


“Mikayla and Justin are simply great. They took great care of my dog Thelma, who can be very skiddish as she is a rescue. Mikayla and Justin spent ample time letting Thelma warm up to them before taking her out for a walk. I would 10/10 recommend them for any pet care and I will definitely be booking them again for Thelma!”

“Sophia was a wonderful sitter, communicative and flexible and caring even amidst a blizzard. We’re grateful for all that she managed on behalf of our pet and home and would highly recommend her!”

Azeen was wonderful! We were away for a week and she came in everyday to check in on our sweet girl Ruby. Azeen left detailed comments and was very communicative through the whole week. She even was able to come during a snow storm (greatly appreciative) to make sure our Ruby girl was safe. We would definitely have Azeen help out again!

As always Leah came through for us when we last mintue needed to go out of town for a funeral. Our elderly cat Booger seems to be happier when she comes to see him. It is great to know that our little old man is being cared for and in good company when we can't be here. We appreciate all that she does for him and he clearly seems to love having a new friend visit him.
Rick is absolutely amazing. We have two sweet, but anxious pups and they were immediately in love with him. Rick was attentive to them, kept us informed, and was so understanding/respectful of maintaining the same environment for the pups that we try to keep while at home. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dogsitter or walker!
