We had a positive experience with our sitter, Byamba. Though we had a tricky situation with one of our dogs initially (Mulan), Byamba truly went above and beyond to help us find a better arrangement for her. It wasn’t easy, but he handled it with patience and care. For the remainder of the stay, he took wonderful care of our other dog, Juke. We really appreciate his efforts, his updates, and his great photos! We’d be happy to book with Byamba again in the future for Juke. Overall, we’re very satisfied and grateful for his dedication!

I wish I could give 10 stars to Karen and her family! Our dog, Casey, is a rescue who is a bit anxious when he is away from us, but we didn’t need to worry. Karen kept us updated and we could sense how happy Casey was during his stay. I highly recommend Karen; I know she will be our first choice for a “home away from home” for our dog!!!

Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!

Musa has been great with our kitty, Cheeto. Musa has looked after our kitty multiple times now. It takes a little time for our kitty to get used to a new environment, but Musa and his wife are very patient. Going to Musa's is like a mini vacation for Cheeto, now.

About: I provide reliable, routine-based care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and administering medications, and I focus on consistency, safety, and clear communication so you always feel at ease. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around regular walks, feeding times, and check-ins to ensure pets feel secure and cared for. Weekly, I account for longer walks, grooming needs, and any special routines, making sure each pet gets individualized attention and consistency. I tailor my care based on the service and each pet’s routine. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-safe environment with structured feeding times, regular walks, play, and plenty of supervision to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s normal routine—feeding, walks, medication if needed, litter or waste cleanup, and enrichment—while also keeping the home tidy and secure. I always follow detailed care instructions and provide updates so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands.

Helena is so kind and responsive. She watched Charlie for 8 days and sent us pics/videos of Charlie’s daily walks and of Charlie having fun with her little dog.We also truly appreciated that she only took care of one dog at a time, so Charlie’s bed came back clean and didn’t have other pet hair. I would absolutely entrust Helena with Charlie again for a long term stay.

Silas had a wonderful lengthy 9 day stay with Loreen! She was very attentive to all of Silas’ needs and many medications. Her daily updates are unparalleled! Daily videos and pictures really made me feel like I was really kept in the loop on his care. She also has the sweetest kiddos who really enjoyed playing with Si, which is so lovely because Silas loves kids! I would 100% book again and recommend Loreen to anyone looking for exceptional care for their babies!! 🫶
