“Yesenia was absolutely amazing!! She made sure to communicate all our fur babies activities and behaviors ensuring we felt at ease while away. Our trio loved her and welcomed her eagerly. She sent pictures, gave timely updates and followed directions to a “T”. We will absolutely book her again and will recommend her to friends & family. She was exceptional and our fur babies loved her too! Thank you, Yesenia!”


About: I love all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. For me, they carry a child-like innocence that highlights the best parts about being a human. Ideally, I would work in the mornings though some afternoons/evenings work well for me. Talk to me and we’ll schedule a time and make it work! Happy to walk several blocks, spend some quality time with your pet (whether it be playing guitar, singing, or just hanging out and watching tv together).
“My senior cats require extra attention involving many specific medications and diets. Donna had no hesitations and kept me well informed while I was away. Grateful to have found an accountable pet sitter in my area as we do not live around family.”

“Samantha was great, as usual. Great communication and feedback, plus my dogs thoroughly enjoyed her visits. It's always such a great comfort knowing that your pets will be well taken care of while you are away.”

“We loved having Anne watch over our cat while away for our wedding! Our cat had recently had some minor medical issues, so we felt really nervous about leaving her for a week. Anne was kind enough to meet with us prior to our departure so we could introduce our cat and show her around (& to ease our nerves!). So happy it all worked out- Anne was amazing about keeping us informed on each visit & provided pics! Would very much recommend!!!”

About: Dogs have a special place in my heart. I’ve spent the last 6 years raising and training my own dog from puppyhood into a well-mannered adult, and I recently rescued another puppy who I am doing the same with. I’m very comfortable with everything from potty training to socialization and routines. I understand how important consistency, safety, and communication are, and I treat every pet like my own while respecting your wishes and routine. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and a very loved on puppy when you get home. I’m currently working virtually so I have a lot of time on my hands for your best friends! I’m open to be flexible to your needs. When pets stay with me, I try to make things feel as close to “home” as possible. I follow your routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, and I’m big on safety as well. I build in a mix of exercise and quiet time so pets feel calm and comfortable. I also make an effort to send regular photo updates so you always know how your bff is doing! When I’m caring for pets in their own space, I respect your home and your rules. I keep to your schedule, tidy up food/litter areas, and make sure everything is exactly how you left it. I pay attention to behavior and appetite, watch for anything out of the ordinary, and give plenty of love while you’re away. You can expect clear communication, check-ins, and honesty from me!
“Amanda did an amazing job with taking care of my fur babies. She was so kind and attentive while she was with them, she gave us updates and photos to let us know they were okay.”

“Eliza has had two visits with my boys, Dex and Moe, and already I am impressed. She is highly- competent, intelligent, pays attention to detail, and is very experienced with caring for animals. Most importantly, however, is how much my pups already adore her and how comfortable I feel when she is in my home and my presence. Both my boys are rescues, however, Dex in his first year of life was subjected to extreme abuse and neglect. It generally takes him a very long time to trust new people inside the home ( in Rover’s case that means many meet and greets with me present ) and outside the home on walks significant caution is needed at all times because he is very reactive to numerous things. I adopted Dex in 2018 and I have * never seen him warm up to any new caregiver ( or person in general) as quickly as he has to Eliza. Moe loves everybody. It is also very apparent that Eliza is very attentive when I discuss details about my boys and detailed special instructions even though I have not yet written them down, which I will. I feel at ease and fully trust that Eliza takes these instructions very seriously and understands that, in the case of Dex especially, instructions about the precautions necessary when walking him outside cannot be deviated from- he truly is a very special- emotional- needs dog ( he’s 8 ) and always will be. I am fully confident that whether I need to be away because of a health emergency or am simply on vacation that my dogs are in the best of hands under her care. I would highly recommend Eliza to anyone.”

“Gabby did a phenomenal job caring for my new kitten for a full week. She was very communicative, and most importantly, gave my kitty lots of love and attention. We are so grateful!”

About: I have taken care of and owned dogs since I was 10. During the ages of 11-14 I fostered several dogs and worked with a rescue. I also know how to work with puppies and kittens since I rescued my 1 year old cat when he was 3 weeks old. I also regularly dog sit a three dog household for a family memeber for the past four years as well as a three cat household. I also have experience with ferrets and hamsters. I am currently a newly graduated student who has the summers off! I am free to help as long as I have a days notice! I will adjust to any schedule you have for your furbaby. I am also comfortable administering meds if shown the schedule and routine you have.
“Judith was very caring with my senior pug. She paid attention to the details of his routine and wasn’t afraid to ask questions as needed! I would book with her again.”

“Rick was amazing, took my last minute booking for a drop in to feed my cat when i had to go out of town unexpectedly. Prompt and Excellent communication. Sent me photos of the home visit. I will definitely book him again. I highly recommend Rick 🐾 🐾”
“Thank you, Sarah and Abel for taking care of our puppies today! I’m so thrilled you had drop in service and hope you continue in the future. Bailey giving you a nose boop is a huge thing for her.”


About: I’ve had pets since I was a toddler, and I currently own two senior dogs and a cat. I’ve volunteered at pet shelters while in college, and am ready to share the love! I’m currently a part time student, and have plenty of free time. I’m available after 3PM on the weekdays, and completely free on the weekends. I have two dogs and usually let them free roam around the house during the day and crate them at night. However, each pet owner has their own routine that I am more than willing to follow.

Absolutely! Here's a polished version that keeps it warm, genuine, and enthusiastic: As always, Sam is amazing! She is incredibly attentive and truly goes above and beyond in caring for my pets. She is always punctual with her check-ins, stays on top of everything, and provides detailed updates that give me complete peace of mind while I'm away. Her communication is excellent, and I always appreciate the thorough feedback and photos she shares after each drop-in. I know my pets are in great hands whenever Sam is caring for them. She is reliable, professional, and clearly loves what she does. I would choose Sam again and again for my pet care needs, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. ❤️🐾

This was my second time booking with Yesenia, and I’ll definitely continue using her in the future. She went above and beyond for my cats and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even came by the night before on short notice to put ice packs in the freezer for me, washed their dishes, and was kind enough to pick up a litter scoop from the store when mint went missing. She’s reliable and truly cares about the pets she looks after. I highly recommend her! 🩷

Alejandra did an excellent job caring for my parakeets. She was responsive, dependable, and available even with last-minute requests and several unplanned rebookings. I also appreciated that she kept the area around the cage neat and clean. I’m very thankful for all of her help. I hope I am able to show how extra grateful I am effectively.
Emma was great with my Buddy, calm and quiet but determined to make a friend. I could tell from the pictures that he was enjoying her visits. Emma was so easy to work for me as well and I never had a reason to stress over whether he was getting the attention he always wants.
Sarah is fantastic! She took such great care of our three cats and even looked after our fish—who wasn’t even on the schedule. We really appreciate how thoughtful and attentive she is. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
