Jessica was great! Very friendly, communicative and made sure I received complete updates about my cats. I could tell they were cared for properly and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.

Ranae did so well with our meet up!! I wanted my dachshund to meet her prior to an official day with her because he is reactive and takes some time to warm up to people. She was so kind and patient with him and by the end he loved her. He had a great time and was sad to see her go! She asked great questions and got to know more about us. I’m so glad to have found her- Milo’s official pet sitter! :)

About: I grew up with dogs and have always adored and gotten along with them. Over the years I have pet-sat dogs and cats alike for friends and family, and I have two cats of my own. I enjoy long walks and making new dog friends, so you can be sure that your doggo will have an enthusiastic and caring play date! When petsitting in your home, I work hard to keep to your pet's schedule and keep them happy and comfortable. I am currently working very part time, so my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. I am definitely an early bird, so don't be afraid to send those morning requests my way :) I am attentive to all directions, routines, and special requirements given for each animal and activity. The safety and happiness of your pet, and your peace of mind, are my priority!

About: I've loved dogs and cats since I was nine, when I got (or made my parents get) my first doggo (Nahla). Later on, I snuck a kitten from my aunts hobby farm into our car, and he’s stayed with us ever since (Vinnie). Nahla and Vinnie are such love bugs, and I absolutely love animals of all kinds (yes, I even have four pet spiders). While I’m new to dog walking/pet sitting as a formal side-job, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog/cat and those of my extended family. I’m reliable, respectful, and attentive to each animals unique needs and routine, whether that means a calm stroll, pets, or an energetic adventure. I understand that your dog/cat is part of your family, and I treat every walk (drop-in) with that level of care. I’m happy to provide updates, follow instructions closely, and make sure your dog/cat feels safe, loved, and happy every step of the way. I'm currently a PhD student, but during the summer, all of my work is research-based and done remotely. That means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Pet care fits in naturally -- I love taking breaks from the computer to get outside, stretch my legs, and spend time with my dog (her name is Nahla). Walks and check-ins are easy to plan around my research, and I enjoy the balance it brings to my day. I follow any routines or instructions closely -- whether that means feeding schedules, medications, crate time, or favorite walking routes. I always make sure pets have fresh water, get the exercise and attention they need, and feel relaxed while their people are away. In someone else’s home, I’m respectful of their space and aim to leave everything just as I found it. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos to give peace of mind. My goal is to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both pets and their humans

This was the second time Teresa took care of my cats, and everything went as great as the first time. She spends real time with them, especially my needier cat, and I always appreciate the updates and pictures after every visit. She also gave medication without any problems, which was a big help. It’s a relief to be able to travel knowing my cats are in good hands.

At first we had a hiccup on day one, however, afterwards Briana was a great sitter and communicated when she was arriving and providing us updates on our little fur babies and sent us photos of them every check while we were out of town. Great experience with Briana and she also drove in the deep snow and we were appreciated for her to make out to feed and visit our little fur babies. Great experience for us!

Dawn provided some additional help for my partner and me while I was out of the country for a week, and she was a dream. She took such good care of my little old lady and was so flexible and sweet. I loved getting the updates and photos from her daily drop-ins. It helped put me at ease that even though she had a little bit of a tough time with me being gone, my pup was in great hands. Will definitely ask her to care for Penny again!

Given that my dog is blind and relatively energetic, finding someone reliable I can trust to care for her is extremely important to me. During our booking, Briana was extremely kind, professional, and responsive. It’s clear she is an all-around animal lover who understands the importance of catering to an animal’s specific needs. 10/10 would recommend!

Kiah was just wonderful with my 5 month old puppy who has a major separation anxiety. She was very sweet and patient going on walks with him and playing with his toys as well as calming him down and making sure he is not nervous that I was gone for a few hours. I highly recommend Kiah! She is very nice and responsible, and great with the dogs :)

Mad did a drop by visit with our two dogs, in preparation for a longer stay ahead with them. Mad was conscientious and attentive with our dogs, and very willing to do what was necessary to help them feel comfortable (especially one of our dogs, who finds meeting new people a little scary). Mad clearly understands dogs and has a wealth of experience to draw from. We feel confident our dogs are in good hands!
