2. Sergio C.
“Lola was so excited and happy when she came home! Sergio truly has a gift and love for dogs. It shows in every interaction he has with them. I honestly don't trust many people with my fur baby. He is one of the few people I can have over a leash to and not think twice about it. Can't recommend him enough!”
3. Deliris D.
“Deliris was very communicative and accommodating with taking care of our cats; I never once worried about them in her care! She sends great pictures and very detailed updates. I recommend choosing her to sit your babies!”
4. Desiree B.
“Absolutely! Here’s a positive review for Desire: --- I recently went on vacation and entrusted Desire to take care of my five cats—Abby, Chloe, Taz, Luna, and baby LuLu—for a few days. Desire did an amazing job! She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which made me feel at ease knowing my fur babies were in good hands. Desire spent time playing with them, ensuring they were happy and entertained. Even Abby, who is very picky about who she trusts, allowed Desire to pet her—a clear sign of how comfortable and trusted she felt around Desire. I will definitely use Desire's services again for my next vacation and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Desire, for your outstanding care!”
5. Jennifer W.
“Jenny was wonderful looking after my cat while we were away for a few days. She is communicative and sent plenty of updates and sweet photos on her visits. My cat, normally quite shy, seemed to love her and come out of her shell. I cannot recommend her enough!”
6. Anya G. S.
“Anya was punctual and very kind and caring with our dogs. Ruby is a nervous dog, and Anya adjusted to her needs. Anya was able to safely walk both dogs together. It was the puppy’s longest walk so far! Both dogs liked Anya a lot. I would recommend Anya for your pet care needs.”

“Wow! Veronica went out of her way to take amazing care of our two cats while we were out of town for a few days. She always kept us up to date and informed with lots of appreciated.updates on the cats, spent lots of rime playing with them, sent us cute photos etc. She even brought some new food for our picky boy to try. Above and beyond care! We will definitely try to hire her again when we need cat sitting next time.”

“Eric and Kathleen were exactly what we needed. From the very beginning when Eric came out to visit before we left to meet our cats and understand their needs to his daily communication about how our cats were doing and the love and attention that the two of them were providing. I have no hesitation and giving the two of them are highest possible recommendation.”
9. Shirley W.
“Shirley is lovey and wonderful! Hands down the best pet sitter we have ask to watch our five cats. Our cats, disliked other humans and hide under the bed. On Shirley’s first visit and all the ones after, four hopped out and stayed out! We were in awe!! She followed all the instructions for medicines, litter, recycling and garbage ?”
10. Alexander E.
“Alex has been such a great dog walker for my two dogs. They seem to like him a whole lot more than me. I’ve had no troubles with him and he definitely has gone the distance for my little fur babies even when he didn’t have to. If you need a dog walker I 100% endorse him. Funny enough, I could never separate him and my dogs so it seems like my dogs endorse him really”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid, and throughout my life, I’ve been surrounded by pets like cats, dogs, birds, and even fish. My love for animals has only grown over the years, and I’m dedicated to creating a safe and loving environment for them. I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure, especially when their owners are away, and I go the extra mile to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. With years of hands-on experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of different pets' needs, whether it’s the playful energy of a puppy, the calm companionship of a senior cat, or the specific care required for birds or fish. My goal is to provide personalized attention and make sure each pet feels happy, safe, and loved. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to organize my classes and studies in a way that leaves me with plenty of free time throughout the day and week. This flexibility allows me to provide dedicated care for pets, whether it’s for daily visits, extended stays, or weekend care. I can easily adjust my routine to accommodate the specific needs of your pet, whether that involves morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. My goal is to be reliable and attentive, ensuring your pet gets the care they need whenever you need it. When pets stay with me, I prioritize creating a safe, secure, and comfortable environment. My home is pet-friendly, with designated spaces for playing, resting, and eating. I ensure that pets have access to clean water, comfortable sleeping areas, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation through toys, walks, and interaction. Safety is my top priority—I monitor pets closely to make sure they don’t get into anything harmful, and I keep the space clean and free of hazards. Pets in my care are treated like family, receiving lots of attention and affection to ensure they feel safe and loved.

17. Radha G.
“Radha has taken care of two dogs on her own for two years now and has dog sat for me multiple times. She is a responsible caretaker and will treat your dogs like they're her own.”
18. Mike K.
“Mike is a breath of fresh air. He delivers on everything he promises - and more. Most importantly, Fred, my Labradoodle, is always happier after one of Mike's visits. When I had to go abroad for three weeks, I didn't hesitate to leave Fred in Mike's good hands. In short, Mike treats Fred as if he were part of his own family.”
19. Kat M.
“Very responsive and kind!”
20. Joana B.
“I feel lucky to have found Joana! She has watched our cat's and dog's for ten years on and off. She has showered them with love. She has done a mix of drop-ins as well as overnights. As a cat mom herself, we have always trusted her with our furbabies and house. They have always been happy and healthy when we get home. She sends some picture's along the way to stay connected. I would most definitely recommend her!”
