Jade was absolutely incredible. I have 4 crazy Aussies that are full of energy but also full of love. Jade paid close attention to all my directions and my dogs were so happy to have her come see them every day. She gave them lots of love and worked on tricks with them to keep them engaged. I would recommend Jade to anyone who needs pet sitting or dog walking. She was wonderful.

She was wonderful with my knuckle head German Shepard. She walked, feed, and played with him even though he’s an excited nervous dog. She updated me on anything that happened while I was gone for my 5days and even with pictures! Marlita even went one step above and gave me tips and tricks to help with my dogs anxiety and I couldn’t have asked for more. Her jovial attitude has had a profound effect on me and my dog and I will definitely use her again.

About: I have experience with every kind of aged fur babies for 13 years. I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals since a young girl. I have multiple friends and family who rely on me to walk, feed, board and bathe their pets! I currently do online classes from home for Vet Technician. I have plenty of time to watch and play with your pup! I am available daily and even on call! I have three pups who are friendly with other dogs and would have a great day with one another. I have a huge home with plenty of space to provide care for your fur baby. I have a nice block to walk as needed for the care of your pup!

Aside from that, my greatest passion is animal care, so your fur baby is always welcome with me! :) I am currently a stay at home wife (no children), and thus have plenty of time and space in my home for your fur baby! some things to note are that my apartment is very large and spacious, I live in a very very safe neighborhood, and lastly that my top priority when accepting bookings is your pet’s safety, comfortability and happiness! :)

This was Kriti’s first time taking care of our 5 cats. She was always on time, important as we have a senior kitty on a feeding schedule. She made sure everyone had fresh food and that their water fountain was always at the max. She engaged all our kitties as seen in all the pictures and video she sent us. Kriti was able to get our skittish girl Leah to come out of hiding and play with her! We highly recommend Kriti if you need someone to take care of your cat/s as she understands their different personalities. We’re sure Kriti would be as dedicated, compassionate and professional with any type of pet you own. We’re happy we found her.

Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

About: I cared for my Bichon Frise, for 13 wonderful years. During that time, I also enjoyed walking my neighbors’ dogs alongside him, which gave me experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Through all the walks, park visits, playtimes, and daily routines, I gained a deep understanding of what it takes to keep a pet happy, healthy, and loved. My best friend passed away in 2024, but I still find a little bit of him in every dog I take care of. I’m reliable, patient, and truly passionate about animals. Caring for pets brings me so much joy, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! As of now I am very flexible with my schedule at the moment I am taking the time and going to enjoy traveling the world as much as I can and making a little extra money and getting to meet new pets would be a bonus for me ! I have done a couple drop in visits for friends & family pets and I always make sure to follow their instructions and never hesitate to ask when I don’t know something so everything goes smoothly as best as possible. I love animals I would always make sure they are cared for and kept safe at all times !

I cannot say enough good things about Cinthia. Even from offering to come over and meet my girl ahead of the visit, I knew she genuinely cared about making sure we felt comfortable. She was extremely communicative and took every direction (and they are specific :) I had so many adorable photos and sweet videos and my dog was still happy when I got home. I will definitely book Cinthia again and strongly suggest others do the same.

Lilian was amazing! She was incredibly professional, kind, and accommodating and my boys absolutely loved her! She made sure to check every detail every day (water fountain levels, whether litter box was clean, what foods they liked more, etc) and was very communicative. She also sent the cutest pics of my cats, which became one of my phone backgrounds 😂 Will definitely book her again!!

Jane did an excellent job with drop-in visits for our two cats. She was reliable, showing up twice daily as scheduled, and clearly took great care of them. She played with the cats during her visits and kept their litter consistently clean. We appreciated that she went beyond the basics, keeping our kitchen spotless where the cats are fed. The photos from each visit showed our cats looking comfortable and content. It was so nice to come home tired and jet-lagged to happy, well-cared-for cats without having to tackle any cat-related housework.

Words are not enough to how I would like to describe my customer experience with Irene, but here I’ll try. Irene was extremely: attentive, caring, responsive, detail-oriented, committed, flexible and on time. She cared for my peace of mind, having great chemistry and patience with my pet, spending time with her, going above and beyond. I’m extremely satisfied with Irene as a pet sitter. I highly recommend Irene and look forward to working with her in the future.
