10/10 would highly recommend booking with Natalie! This was my first time using a sitter for my cat and Natalie made me feel so much more at ease with the care she provided. She was super communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was flexible with my schedule. I'll definitely be booking again with her in the future!

About: We treat your pets as if they were our own. We know how important they are to you and we make them our first priority. Whatever you need for us to do for your pet we will make sure it gets done and they feel happy and at home whether its at your place or ours. We provide dog walking, boarding, daycare, pet taxi, day trips, and home visits. I work from home so I have plenty of time to play and take care of the pups that stay with us for boarding and daycare. My backyard is fully fenced in and there’s plenty of open space inside and out for a dog to play, relax, and enjoy their time away from home.

I’m still amazed at how Kathryn managed to get my normally shy cat to come out to her! It makes leaving the kitties for a weekend getaway easier knowing they are in good hands with Kathryn. She is so great with them and always keeps us updated with how they are doing.

My almost 2 year old Lab, loves the attention she gets with Katie. We can tell Bella is comfortable. Dropping her off for few days and then picking her up is a breeze. Normally its difficult leaving her with anyone else. Highly recommend!!

We were so happy with Carla taking care of our dog, Max, while we were away! She was incredibly reliable, sending daily updates with photos and always making sure Max was getting plenty of exercise and attention. She is truly an animal lover and I highly recommend Carla to take care of your pets when needed!

Yuzhou’s is exceptional. She took care of my big Samoyed and treated him like her own. Showed up on time, gave me updates, and tired out my big boy on his nice long walk. I’d absolutely recommend Yuzhou’s services again.

If there is someone who defines the phrase "dog-lover," it's Chris. He and Cooper are like father and son. He makes sure Cooper is active, well-kept and gets plenty of attention. On the weekends, Chris always finds some activity to do that involves Cooper, so the lab-mix is not kept indoors all day. Your dog will come to love the attention, love and play-time they get with Chris.

Amy has cared for my dogs many times when I’m not available. Since she owns her own two dogs I know she is great at handling pets with care and safety in mind an have seen this demonstrated with any dog she encounters. I would recommend her for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy pet sitter who has experience and will take care of you pet as if their were her own.

Lindsay is very responsible. She has a great relationship with my dog. She does the necessary things (feeding, walking) but she also takes the time to get down on his “level” to play with toys and give cuddles and pets❤️🐾

Gokhan has been an exceptional cat sitter for my cats, Luna and Leo. He connects naturally with them, ensuring they're comfortable and cared for. He's reliable, always on time, and attentive to their needs. Once, when Luna was unwell, Gokhan noticed immediately, contacted me, and stayed with her until I returned. His care and concern were truly touching. I highly recommend Gokhan as a pet sitter. His love for cats and responsible nature make him an excellent choice for anyone needing pet care.
