She is also very professional. She sent me pics and updates and I am very happy with the service. My dog loved her too! I highly recommend!!”
“Fatima was absolutely amazing! She houses at our golden retriever Willow for ten days and was absolutely fabulous. She was responsive, sent several daily updates, and made sure that she had daily walks/outings. She really cares about the animals she cares for and it truly shows. She took amazing care of our apartment as well! We will definitely be rebooking her in the future!”
“Kayla was an incredible cat sitter! They were extremely responsive and understanding, and truly wanted the best for my babies. The night before I left, I had an emergency, and they rearranged their schedule to help out—which made the whole ordeal so much less stressful. I came home to a spotless house and a very happy kitty who clearly enjoyed his weekend! My cat is a rescue, and I wasn’t sure how he’d react to a stranger. Kayla was patient and gentle, coaxed him out of hiding, and by the end of the weekend he had made a new friend. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Steven is a wonderful person to have in your home with your pup. He came in last minute, made the time to meet my dog and make arrangements… and my pup was relaxed and happy. Great communication. Everything was so smooth. Will use Steven often. A+ RECOMMEND!”
“We are so grateful we found Adolfo. He’s communicative, patient and loving toward our dog Betty. Anytime we go out of town we’ll be sure to use him again- I couldn’t recommend him enough. Trustworthy & reliable!”
“Dan was an excellent sitter and we cannot wait to have him watch Pepe again soon. He provided constant communication with us and made a sincere effort to make sure that we knew Pepe was safe and comfortable. His schedule worked well with ours since we also work 8 hour shifts in the city. Pepe was able to maintain his normal daily routine. We couldn't recommend Dan more!”
“Victoria was amazing. She was very good at communicating and was very understanding in our situation. She bonded well with our dog and took good care of him. We would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs from the time they were born, so I have experience helping them learn to eat properly, use the toilet, and interact well with others. While I don’t have formal training or special certifications, I truly love animals and feel deeply connected to them—I often feel like I can understand their needs just by being around them. After many years in a busy chef career, I now have the time and freedom to fully enjoy caring for pets and giving them the attention they deserve. As a former chef currently not working, I have a very flexible schedule and am available on weekdays from Monday to Friday, between 7 AM and 6 PM. I’m happy to accommodate most clients’ preferred times, and I’m committed to fitting pet care smoothly into my daily routine. I’ve previously cared for both a cat and a dog, though I don’t currently have any pets at home. At this time, I’m not able to care for pets in my own home. However, I’m more than happy to stay at a client’s home and follow their specific instructions and routines to ensure their cat or dog is well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 11 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets of all ages. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time available to take care of your pet! My schedule is very open and flexible. I care for pets in my clients home by playing with them, walking them, and making sure they’re fed and have enough water. I give my full and undivided attention always to ensure their safety and well-being. I will also send photos/videos of them with updates on how they’re doing, if desired by my client.
“Alley was absolutely fantastic with our Ro! Ro is super sweet but can be reactive with strange people and Alley went out of her way to make sure Ro was comfortable with her. She was super communicative and always gave updates, and she took extra special great care of Ro with extra walkies and lots of play time. Highly recommend Alley!”
“Dasja is the best and my dogs seem to love her! She is very communicative and goes above and beyond to make sure my dogs get a ton of attention and love! Would highly recommend her to a friend.”

Having Zoe watch Ruby was very helpful and it put my mind at ease when I needed to leave home.”
