“Danny was great! My kitty, Nala, recently started antibiotics and I found out the morning I left on a trip. Danny quickly responded to panicked messages trying to find help and even stopped by before I had to leave for the airport to meet Nala and go through the medication rundown. He took great care of her and it is never easy giving a cat a pill she absolutely does not want, BUT Danny was able to handle it with care and kept me updated!”

“Tristien was an absolute delight! We had last minute change of plans and Tristien was able to help navigate around our busy schedules to make sure we had everything in order before we left. She was always on time to her drop-in visits and made sure to keep in great communication with me. Definitely will be booking again in the future!”

“Yuen Ying is excellent with pets. She has a genuine care and earnestness about her. We can tell that our dog Panda was less restless due to having a play date in the middle of the day while we were at work.”

“Natalie is so great and our pups love her! She is great with communication, fulfilling requests/ instructions and take the best pics of the pups. Will definitely keep using her as long as shes available ☺️”

“Brooke is so attentive and you can tell she loves spending times with the cats! She was thorough, left my home cleaned and always gave great photos/report cards. Came back to a sweet present for my cat. Highly recommend!”

“Erin was great with my high energy dog, Bodie. He enjoys her mid-day visits and the positive attention. She was flexible with a last minute booking when my other sitter had an emergency pop up and is awesome to work with.”

“Kaia took great care of my cat and home while I was away on business. She followed all my instructions, was always on time, and took great photos! Highly recommend.”

“Penelope came on very short notice to take care of Mongo and it was greatly appreciated. They were communicative and seem to be very good with my cat. I will definitely book with them again!”

About: Dogs have always been a focal point in my life. I had the honor of raising a sweet pup named Canela from 10 weeks of age until we sadly had to say goodbye to her at the ripe age of 13. Luckily, we have 2 other pups to love on that we rescued in the past 2 years. One’s name is Eddie, a 14-year-old black-and-tan dachshund. The other is named Fiona, a 3-year-old white/apricot collie mix. They are my world. Anyone I meet knows how obsessed I am with dogs and as a result, friends (and even acquaintances) often reach out to me to watch their dogs. It would be a privilege to help you with yours! My husband and I work from home so we have tons of flexibility both during the week and weekend. I am available for walks at pretty much anytime. I am also open to watching your pup at your home or ours (as long as they're friendly with our dogs!). I have a fenced yard where your pup can roam freely if that’s something you’re comfortable with. I will take your dog on a walk with the utmost care and attention, making sure leashes are secured properly before a door is even cracked open. I will follow any instructions you provide me with to a T.
About: Hello. My name is Martha and I can't wait to meet your best little friend. I have been taking care of my own pets for the last 40 years and would love help take care of your fantastic four legged babies. My current doggie Zoey is a 1 year old Jackabee who requires lots of activities and exercise that I happily give her daily in our large fenced in back yard and multiple trips to a near by Dog Park at Park of the Americas. Currently I am between jobs so I am able to give full time care for your sweet puppy, which is great for those potty emergencies. Even in the event that I would have to leave it's never longer than an hour and my Mother or Husband would be home to help. I have a big fenced in yard that is perfect for play and exercise. Rainy days aren't a problem cause we have a spacious screened in porch. Overnight we keep our Zoey in a crate near our bed and we are able to divide space in the house if your fur baby needs quiet time. There are two beautiful parks within walking distance, one with a Dog Park. I have two kids that love dogs and are eager to help play with there new Puppy Dog Pal. I have taken care of several older dogs in my time including giving medication, appropriate exercise and proper diet. I do ask that your pet be potty trained Please. I am in between jobs right now so I've got plenty of time to look after your sweet puppers. They will have plenty of open spaces, either in our yard or at the Dog Park that's within walking distance. We have a very large fenced in back yard. For rainy days we can play on our spacious screened in porch. In my life I've taken care of older pets too including giving medication, appropriate exercise and proper diet. Our Pup and all her furry friends get all the love and affection they'll ever need, and then some more.
“Appreciated the communication from Marie and the time she spent with my cat! I knew he was in good hands and felt at ease leaving town knowing she would be checking in on him.”


“Thank you Erika for taking care of my precious baby. She made sure Milo was taken care of and played with every single visit. Reassured me that Milo was doing okay by sending pictures and videos. I even started noticing Milo was getting more comfortable more and more each visit with her which made me happy. She accommodated me when I needed to add an extra day of drop in visits at the last minute. Overall, I am pleased to say that I have found a great reliable sitter for my fur baby.”

“Nina was absolutely amazing and quick to respond! I usually don’t trust people without getting to meet them but Nina was truly amazing with my pups and will rebook again :)”


About: I’ve had all kinds of pets growing up through childhood, always had dogs and cats especially. Worked at a vet clinic for 2 years, loved it and miss it. Took courses on animal care and calming while working in the clinic. I’m currently working at Amazon as a flex employee, right now I’m only working 1-2 days a week there. I make my own schedule there and I plan to make my pet sitting schedule a priority. I won’t be able to bring any pets to my house for the time being, but going to houses I love playing with all the pets:) Always have had the biggest love for pets.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all breeds but I'm especially experienced with flat-faced dogs, having owned an English Bulldog and three Pugs. I can clean their wrinkles and ears, soak their paws, get rid of tear stains, keep them cool, etc. Please reach out with any questions, I'd love to meet you and your dog! I’m consistently available on weekends as well as periodically throughout the week. I can provide overnight in-home services at your location on a limited basis. From overnight companionship for anxious dogs to long runs with energetic pups, I’ll do my best to meet the needs of both you and your pets.
“Catherine was so great! She gave a description of what she did while she was here and sent pictures!! I had complete peace of mind because of her!! I definitely recommend her services!!!!! 6 stars if I could!!!! ?”

“Shirley is the one of our greatest finds! Our pets don't even miss us because she takes such good care of our pets. She brings us such comfort and peace of mind when we're away. We know our pets are in the best possible care!”


“You are an absolute doll and a very kind young lady. Everything you did brought a smile to my face and heart. Thank you for coming on short notice. I will definitely call you again. 🥰”

Amber is fantastic! She did a great job communicating with me throughout my trip and took wonderful care of my guinea pigs and chinchilla. I would absolutely book with Amber again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Kaitlyn, thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies while we were away. Your kindness and attention to their needs truly gave us peace of mind during our trip. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and we couldn't be more grateful. The way you handled their routines and showered them with love made all the difference. We look forward to having you help us again in the future!

Jazzlyn is super communicative and responsive, and she took great care of my two kitties, including my high needs senior cat who needed medication twice daily. She fearlessly administered it for him, which is exactly what he needed. She even spent extra time with him so he wouldn’t feel so lonely. I highly recommend!

Leah is an absolute darling and both my pups fell in love with her instantly. They felt so comfortable with her and she is incredibly knowledgeable and caring. I could focus on my work and meetings knowing Leah is there taking care of my fur babies. We are all thrilled (my pups and I) that we found Leah! I will definitely rebook very soon.
