“We’ve had Kade visit our cat several times over the last year and have had nothing but a great experience. I think my cat likes Kade more than me now.”
“Monique did a great job taking care of my two cats! She was very personable and communicative. She checked in during each visit while I was out of town and shared updates about how my cats were doing.”
“Hollie took Tater for a walk, checked on the kitties, cleaned the litter box and brought in my mail. Kept in touch with me and sent photos. They did a great job!”
“Thane was so great with my slightly psychotic and very special needs dog (old and with a bite history). They were so patient with my dog's stubbornness and various quirks and also successfully managed my cats, who are always trying to get out the door. There were no issues and I really believe it was the best possible experience for all my pets.”
“Alyssa was amazing!!! Great communication and pictures! Won over our one little anxious pup with perseverance and treats! Thank you so much!!!”
“Lila took amazing care of my 2 babies while I was away! She's great at communication and sent me detailed updates on my cats everyday with plenty of pictures. She even helped take care of my plants while cat-sitting. I highly recommend her!”
“Devinder is very friendly and makes sure your pet gets the care they need. My dog Sylvester is being left alone in the home for the first time since COVID started and Devinder makes him feel comfortable while I'm away. Devinder is great about sending updates and photos. Definitely booking again!”
“Sophie did an amazing job with Pepper! Pepper is a people lover dog and can come off very intense. Sophie was kinda to my dog and I could tell by the way Pepper acted when I came home. Sophie was flexible, communicated well, took photos, did all that i asked when it came to Peppers needs, and gave great notes throughout her time with Pepper. I really appreciate you Sophie for checking in on my pup while i was gone and showing her love! I would highly recommend you to anyone. Once again thank you☺️”
“Amanda was phenomenal with taking care of Indi while I was out of town. Indi was feeling very sick and Amanda gave consistent updates and went above and beyond to help take care of her and make sure she was as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Amanda, will definitely be rebooking for the future!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and cared for my own dog for 15 years. I’m attentive, patient, and can adapt to your pet’s unique needs. As a full-time nursing student with a flexible schedule, I’m available weekends and most weekdays to give your pet the attention, care, and playtime they deserve. I have a secure, fenced backyard for safe outdoor play. I provide a calm, pet friendly home and can also care for your pet comfortably in yours.
“Cat is an amazing sitter! She takes great care of my puppy and is very accommodating with her times. She is reliable and best buds with my little puppy girl. A must book if you’re looking for somebody to treat your dog like you would!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds and of varying ages. I’ve also helped train my own puppy, as well as friends’ dogs, the basics like potty training, sit, etc. I’m quite comfortable with puppies under 1 year old all the way to our senior friends. I’m currently a full-time dog mom and pet caretaker. I just graduated from grad school and don’t start my new job until this fall, and I thought - what a better way to spend my summer off taking care of my favorite animal and helping other pet owners? I’m an open communicator and can be available how you need me with the proper heads-up! I live in an apartment building with my fiancé and our sweet, cuddly boy dog (neutered). There’s 3 parks within walking distance and a dog park just an 8min drive away. Since I live in an apartment, I would recommend only small to medium dogs stay with us, but I’m always willing to travel to clients’ houses for dogs of all sizes. I treat my clients dogs as if they were my own fur baby. The love, kindness, & attention I give my sweet boy is the same love, kindness, & attention your dog will receive. My friend is also a vet tech I can always reach out to for advice/questions and I myself am a certified (human) healthcare professional.
“Brenna was an outstanding cat sitter for me. Very communicative, clearly loves animals, and overall just great! My little guy was pretty nervous and Brenna offered to make an extra visit to keep him company. She was willing to go above and beyond. Highly recommend”

“I can’t recommend Justin enough! He’s walked my dog several times and always treats her like his own. You can tell he genuinely loves dogs—he doesn’t just take them around the block, he makes sure they’re having a good time, whether that means a trip to the dog park or just giving them extra attention. My dog absolutely lights up when she sees him, and that says it all. If you need someone solid to trust with your pup, he’s the one.”
