“Sophia is caring, and kind and will give your pets the attention they deserve. Sophia pays attention to detail, knowing my cats routine.

Sophia’s care and treatment of my cat provide me with peace of mind and I will certainly hire her again .”

Very pleased, and would recommend Henry highly.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and all kinds of animals since I was 16! Having two of my own, I understand the stress behind finding good, quality help while being away. I love animals- walking, playing, and spending time with them is my favorite! I would love to help you and your pet any way I can I am currently in school but have lots of free time in my schedule! Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I am only busy from 9-12pm and Tuesday, Thursday my availability is scattered but all throughout the day! I am not able to offer boarding services due to being in school, but I am more than willing to stay in the home with the animal!
“Sharon stayed with Olive & Emilie while we were away for a few days. Emilie, our dog bonded with Sharon and had a great time. Olive the cat is a bit aloof but came around. Thanks again!”
“I’m happy to add to the list of excellent reviews for Jakk! She took terrific care of our mini poodle, our two cats and our house while we were out of town. We came back to content animals, a tidy home, AND a fresh baked, delicious cinnamon sugar bread! Jakk also went the extra mile and took our dog to the groomer so I didn’t have to reschedule his appointment. She sent regular photos and videos and was very reachable, flexible, and responsive. At first I was anxious to leave our floofs with someone new to us, but it took about 30 seconds to realize Jakk loves animals and they love her back. We’re incredibly grateful for her work, kindness, and professionalism. What a delightful person and great animal sitter. Thank you!”
“Makayla was really great watching our 2 pups and cat! She was communicative, respectful and left our house in great shape! We’re so happy to have met her and look forward to having her sit for us again!!”

Jillian took great care of our senior dog for three overnights at our home. She asked all the right detailed questions about his care, and had no problem giving his medications. She also was a fantastic communicator, and made sure our dog got an extra bathroom break when our return was slightly delayed. We’re looking forward to her coming back soon!
