“Veronica was great with our dog Ares. She responded quickly to all messages and sent me pictures with each visit. She was very accommodating with my last minute changes I had to make to the drop-in schedule and is very personable.”


“Marcella always does an excellent job taking care of our fuzzy babies. She’s our go-to sitter as she always does an excellent job and is reliable. You can’t go wrong with Marcella!”
“Tamara was easy to communicate with and my dogs seemed happy and well taken care of. She was flexible and I could tell she was thinking about what would be best for my pups. I will definitely book again!”

“Raquel was super sweet and accommodating to Mike, our diabetic cat. She was willing to take on the responsibility of injecting insulin twice daily to Mike and was punctual each day. Very communicative, quickly responding to any and all messages sent, there was no delay at all! She takes caring for animals seriously and won’t let your pet go without!”
“We love booking Emily and her husband to take care of our cat Lola whenever we travel. They are always punctual, and make sure they spend lots of time giving her attention. When we come home, Lola is in great spirits!”

“Olivia was the absolute best! I went on an extended family vacation overseas and didn’t want to board my cats to give the comfort of remaining home. While a bit nervous about being gone, they were cared for and loved. Than you, Olivia for going above and beyond in taking care of our fur-babies”

“Grant and Yunrui are great. Coco loved Yunrui as soon as she entered our home during meet and greet. During the drop-in, everything went smoothly. Have already rebooked them for house-sitting Coco next week.”

“Kristin was great! She took several cute pictures of my cats every day, even the one who hides. This gave us piece of mind. As a bonus, she was also able to check on and water my seedlings each day. My cats let her pet them , which they did not do with another cat sitter. So she has a good demeanor with cats! Great pet sitter. We hope to use her again.”

“Taylor was absolutely amazing with our boys, we have worked with her in the past and look forward to working with her in the future. Thank you so much we highly recommend her services to anyone! 🙏☀️🥹”

“Mary was great with drop in visits for our dogs! Communicated well when needed. The pups were happy when we got home, and in all of the pictures she sent while we were away. Will def book her again!”

About: I worked for a small business a while ago where I would travel to peoples houses in order to take there dogs on a walk. I would also make sure to feed them, play with them, or just keep them company if needed. After that job, I worked as a kennel attendant at a boarding facility. There I managed many peoples dogs and make sure they were properly taken care of. This included play times, bathroom breaks, feeding, and even special treats now and then. I am looking for anyone who needs the help. I am currently job searching and wanted to go back into the dog business and figured this would be a great way to get back into it! Usually I will take my dog on longer walks and give him extra attention and play time at home. My dog is spoiled and happy!

“Melissa and her husband were amazing! They made sure my boy was fed well and walked/ran to let go of some energy! Haha. She kept me updated and sent pictures/video. I recommend them and I will definitely be using them again!”

Our dog Juno immediately took to Adelina and it was such a relief for us to have an experienced provider assist with our dog’s medication injections. She administered the injections with obvious skill - Juno didn’t even flinch! Adelina was very communicative and we would work with her again without hesitation!

Jeannette did a fantastic job watching PuppyBoy! She is reliable, attentive, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. We’ve used another service for the past 4–5 years, and lately they’ve been canceling on us at the last minute — even after confirming. Jeannette was the complete opposite: dependable, communicative, and consistent every day. We strongly recommend Jeannette P. and will absolutely be booking her again.

Raquel was super sweet and accommodating to Mike, our diabetic cat. She was willing to take on the responsibility of injecting insulin twice daily to Mike and was punctual each day. Very communicative, quickly responding to any and all messages sent, there was no delay at all! She takes caring for animals seriously and won’t let your pet go without!
Emily did a wonderful job dropping in to visit our 2 cats while we were away for a long weekend. She is very responsive and sent detailed updates and photos for each day so I felt assured they were being taken care great care of. Would love to use her again for future trips!

Excellent service, everyday day providing updates with pictures. Actually, we owe her an apology, because we responded to her messages late—or didn't respond at all, so we’re sorry about that 😅 thank you again for everything, taking your time to be with our doggie and playing with her too.

Anthony was truly a lifesaver for our family. During a time when we really needed support, he went above and beyond in every way. His compassion and patience stood out immediately, especially in the way he took the time to build trust with our dogs who needed a little extra confidence boost. It wasn’t just a job to him! His communication is always clear and consistent, and the regular updates gives us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, he treated our puppers like they were his own, showing them love and attention. We’re incredibly grateful for Anthony and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy caretaker for their furbabies.
