Emily was great! She followed all the instructions I left for checking on my cats. During her drop-in visit, she played with them and sent plenty of pictures. She is moving soon, otherwise I would be a repeat client!

Outstanding cat sitter. During a long trip I was on, Ryan sent me photos, videos, and reports that made me feel reassured that my cat was okay and warmed my heart. He played with him and took care of everything on the list. Highly recommend.

About: My Mum is a trainer and behaviorist and I have been surrounded by both my own and other dogs most of my life. I treat them like family, which they are, and am happy to help last minute, go above and beyond to be compassionate and understanding of each dog. I’m not someone to shy away from a bark or accident on the floor, I understand it may come from fear, excitement or feeling sick. I myself am nervous of the care for my own when away, so what to provide a service I would expect for my own. I also won’t be on my phone, not paying attention, my eyes and energy are with them. I am happy to answer any questions, walk, play and have an in person meeting before choice made on hiring thank you For you consideration and I look forward to hearing from you. I"m Hannah! I work as a freelancer so can easily jump into sitting, walking and other services at short notice. My own dog is walked three times a day, two short (30 ish mins ) and a long walk around an hour. My cats get play time regularly, and I would provide the same happily for other pets. For dog walking, we would go over your 'house rules' so to speak - shoes off, wipe paws, towels for rain days, coats and whatever is needed to keep your dog happy and healthy. As well as walking or in-home care in your home, I will do play time - mental stimulation games and general play, depending on your dog's needs. I like to be made aware of any kinds of allergies, habits and quirks - make it as safe and enjoyable for your dog or cats as possible, as I do my own I’m also not going to be on my phone walking you dog...my focus is on them.

Emma has been an absolute lifesaver and is the perfect sitter for our new puppy, Hubble. Emma went out of her way to make herself available in the middle of the day during our first week back at work and it has made all the difference. She is communicative, punctual, and extremely kind. I have nothing but nice things to say about Emma. I know Hubble absolutely loves his new friend!

They're very responsive to messages, provide detailed Rover cards, and were super flexible when I had to travel last-minute.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion for animal care, starting when I was just 12 years old. Since then, I've dedicated countless hours to understanding and caring for animals of all kinds. As a proud owner of a shelter rescue pitbull mix, I've learned firsthand the importance of patience, compassion, and tailored care. I've invested time and resources into my own dog's enrichment and socialization, and I'm confident in my ability to provide the same level of love and attention to your furry friend. Whether you're looking for a trusted companion for your pet or just need someone to give them extra TLC, I'm here to provide top-notch care and make your pet feel like part of the family. As a hybrid tech sales employee, my schedule can get busy, but caring for pets is a top priority for me. I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 4PM, which fits perfectly with my work schedule. I'm also flexible and willing to adjust my schedule as needed to ensure that your dog receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while in my care. Whether that means taking them on a longer walk or playing an extra game of fetch, I'm committed to making sure your dog feels loved and entertained. When boarded with me, your dog is welcome to free roam and enjoy all the comforts of home, including lounging on the couch. My home is just a 5-minute walk from a park, so we can easily get in some exercise and fresh air. Your pup will also get to meet Cozy, my friendly 6-year-old pitbull mix, who's always excited to make new furry friends. Cozy loves to play and socialize, and I'm confident she'll help your dog feel right at home. Whether in my care or yours, I tailor my services to meet your dog's individual needs and ensure they receive the love, attention, and exercise they deserve.

About: I have over 10 years of dog caring experience through my own dog and walking/sitting for neighbors and friends! I also have a lot of experience taking care of senior & special needs dogs. I’d love to help take care of your pet :) I currently work remotely, so I have time to walk your dog during the day and especially in the evenings. I’m available for boarding as well! I have no other pets in the home, so your dog would have the space they need. I can house your dog with their favorite toy or bed as they like.

Ody was amazing! My dog has a little bit of stranger danger, but she warmed up to Ody super quickly. Ody was also very prompt with her drop in visits and you can tell that she is very knowledgeable about caring for dogs. Would 100% rebook with Ody and recommend her!

About: Hello! I am a 7th grade science teacher with 2 cats of my own, Bobbie and Evie. I have been an animal-lover my whole life, and have taken care of my families friends dogs for years. I’m able to care for multiple pets at once, and understand that your pets are your family - they must be treated with the best care possible! I’m a great fit for active dogs who love long walks (or even runs!) and will always prioritise the safety and well-being of your pet. I’m a full-time teacher and grad student. I am available Thursdays-Mondays during the school year. During the summer I am available full time (July, August, September) to care for your pets! I am a safe and kind human, who loves animals. I value long walks outside, maintaining the same schedule, and keeping your home and your pet clean and healthy. I also prioritise taking your pets out as many times as possible during the day, for potty breaks and outdoor time.

Madeleine took such wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town! She was responsive and very understanding of all of his needs! With an older cat, it gives us a lot of comfort knowing that Madeleine is there to make sure he is ok when we aren't around. She sent us daily updates and pictures to keep us aware of how he was doing! We'll definitely be booking her in the future!
