4. Kelly L.


“Kelly has been a great caregiver for our dog, Cali! We have been using Kelly twice a week for the last few weeks and hope to continue. Our dog is super excited to be dropped off there. Our active puppy gets lots of love and attention, playtime and walks and comes home all tuckered out. Kelly is also very responsive to messages and flexible when we have had schedule changes. I strongly recommend Kelly!”


5. Osaze R.

“Osaze was so so amazing. My puppy had just gotten her splint removed and needed to be very restricted and Osaze did just that. I am extremely grateful that he was conscientious in watching her movements. I also had to change the start time multiple times and he was so nice and flexible about it. Thank you so much!”


6. Andrea L.

“Baxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!”




7. Kim T.


“Bernie had such a lovely time with the crew! Kim and Jeff were so lovely, patient, and kind to him. We received plenty of photo and text updates throughout the day, which made us feel so confident about leaving our fur baby with separation anxiety in their care. Highly recommend ?”

About: I don’t just care for your pets, I treat them as part of my family. I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing, resting, or giving them attention, and I want your pet to feel loved at all times. I am currently available to care for your pets at any time, whether it’s during the day, night, or weekends. I offer flexible scheduling to fit your needs and ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. I know that the most important thing is pet care, and one of those is their feeding. I can provide food at any necessary time, in case they have a specific feeding schedule, and I can do it without any problem. I will also dedicate enough time for play or bathroom breaks.

20. Sarah L.
“ I have known Sarah since 2002 when she was the Vet Tech for our dog, Sparky, and two cats- one of which was elderly and eventually required hydration. From the first time I met her, I felt she was exceptionally talented, professional and humorous. I decided to hire her for our pet/house sitter. I couldn't have had anyone better. She is trustworthy and thoughtful. She always stayed at my house as I wanted. I hired Sarah for our weekends away and also for extended out-of-country vacations. In addition to innately knowing how to handle situations, I never worried about the care of the pets because I knew she knew how to assess if there was a problem with one of them, how serious it was and she took appropriate action. I have never found anyone else like Sarah. She is always the standard I use when I have had to use other pet sitters because I no longer live in the same city as she. Unfortunately for all of us, no one has ever come close. ”
