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.

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!

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

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.

About: I have worked with dogs for over 10 years. I have trained dogs and worked for two daycares. I know about medications and common injuries prone to popular breeds. I enjoy walking with and interacting with dogs of all sizes. I have plenty of free time to watch and walk dogs whenever needed. I am available any time during the week/weekend that would be needed. Available for emergency walks or sittings if needed. I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind, so I prioritize clear communication and plenty of photo updates. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, exercised, and showered with affection while you’re away. I provide a structured and safe environment for your animals. I understand that every pet has a unique temperament and specific needs, and I pride myself on being a calm, observant caregiver. I am comfortable administering medication, handling leash-reactive dogs, and maintaining strict feeding schedules. When your pet is with me, their safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities.

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!

About: I’m a responsible college student who enjoys staying active and spending time with animals. I’ve cared for family dogs and helped friends with their pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they’re safe and comfortable. As a part-time mover, I’m dependable, physically active, and used to handling responsibility. I will treat every pet with patience, attention, and care as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available on my days off as well as during certain mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I enjoy staying active and can provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship for your pets. I’ll always communicate clearly and arrive on time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and exercise. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and pay close attention to their surroundings. In your home, I will treat both your pet and property with respect, ensuring everything is left exactly as I found it. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

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.

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.
