1. Sabrina L.
“Sabrina is fantastic. I am so happy to have found someone I can trust with my home and fur baby. She was extremely thoughtful, kind, and communicative. I have a timid and skittish kitty, but Sabrina did a great job introducing herself to my cat and respecting her boundaries. She listened carefully to all my pet care needs and home instructions, and I felt comfortable letting her administer medications. I will happily rebook her for my future pet-sitting needs and know that I can go on vacation with peace of mind.”

“Got amazing daily updates and based on how close my normally shy cat was to Joselyn in the pictures, I think my cat liked her too!”
3. Nayeli M.
“Nayeli has taken great care of my pets on multiple occasions. She obviously loves and cares about all of them and they are always so happy to see her. She is dedicated and manages all of the subtleties of their care with ease. She came through when other sitters failed and I can always feel comfortable that my fur babies are in good hands when she is on the job.”
4. Esme V.
“Esme was fantastic. She came over the day before the visits started and met Hercules and he took to her right away. She was fantastic with Hercules, always sending me reports after each visit and updating me. She was patient and flexible with me if I needed to change anything. Will totally rebook her for all future visits.”

10. Kirsten R.
“Kirsten did a great job! I met with her briefly beforehand, she was polite and attentive as I walked her through everything. During her visiting she checked off all of my requests and sent pictures as confirmation. Lastly she was great with my cat, playing with her and giving her treats. Would hire her again, fully trust her with my cat.”
11. Michele & Jessica B.
“So happy to find them!! Was worried I wouldn’t be able to find a dog sitter patient enough for my shy rescue dog but they are true dog people who show my dog patience and space when she needs it while also giving her the love that she deserves. It is always the highlight of my day when I get pics/vids from drop ins because I can tell my dog is getting cared for!”
12. Kaden P.
“Great job.”
13. Ximadra F.
“She was very good with my car who just got out a surgery. She checked for wounds and sent me pictures and made sure she was safe and happy. I would hire her back if I had a need for more pet care in the future. ?”
14. Michelle & Lino & Nico S.
“If you want a responsible and reliable pet sitter, Michelle is the pet sitter for your pet, whether it is a dog, cat, etc. because she loves animals. Michelle took very good care of my cats while I went on various trips over the years. The longest time was last year for 3 weeks when our family went on vacation. She made sure the cats had plenty of water (hot summer) and food, and checked on them regularly. I really appreciate her taking good care of my cats.”
15. Madison T.

18. Jasmine B.
About: Hi! My name is Jasmine. I am 26 years old and I love animals. I live in a very active house hold and a very active life. I have worked with different needs animals. I do have experience giving medication to animals. I do have kids in my home who are very good with animals. We enjoy going to parks to play. I do drive and am more than happy to do pick ups and drop offs I have no animals of my own in my household.I prefer to care for dogs that get along with other dogs but if they need to watched alone that can be worked around. Animals would need to come with their own food and toys. I hope everyone enjoys their day. I work nights shift and always have someone home during the night so I feel it's perfect for watching over fur babies they never have to be alone for extended periods of time. I care for pets the same way I care for my children. I make sure they do not have access to anything that can hurt them, make sure exits are always closed and fences are always closed.
19. Jessika R.
“Jessika is so great with my puppy! She kept him company during the day while I was at work, and she also started teaching him some commands. She gave me plenty of updates after every visit as well as gave advice on how to feed him and train him.”
20. Alyssa H.
“Alyssa has cared for several dogs. She is very kind, patient, and responsible. She is very well connected to pets. She has a great understanding of different breeds. She is timely, dependable and consistent. She is a very caring person. I would have Alyssa watch our pets anytime as she does when needed. Highly recommend her.”
