“Jessica was fantastic with Buda! Sent me great updates and adorable pictures, as well as checking in when she wasn’t sure about something. Will definitely request her services again!”

“Was in a huge crunch, time wise, and Morgan stepped up and delivered big time. She is personable, responsible, diligent and ridiculously willing (in a great way) to ensure my pets were well cared for and my mind was able to focus on my travels, and eased. Morgan sent daily pics of my pets that showed they were growing more accustomed to her twice-daily visits. She followed directions to the tee and even went beyond what was asked. Of course I’ve already booked her again! Thank you, Morgan!!!”

“Kayla is the very best! She is reliable and friendly, and writes the best narrative summaries of her time caring for our cats when we are out of town. We are grateful for her!”

“Avery did an amazing job watching over our two kitties. She gave them lots of love and attention while we were away and made leaving my fur babies a lot less stressful. She was very communicative and always sent pictures! I will definitely be hiring her again in the future :)”

About: I always had dogs growing up and have been taking care of them since I was young. And it was my favorite thing to do. Im currently severing in the military and when I’m not working I would love to come and take care of your dogs and take them on walks. If any pet were to stay in my home I’d talk to the owner and assure of any medications or allergies they had to confirm. I’d make sure they are well groomed and nails are cut. If they have trouble walking we’d find another way to get them exercises.

About: Hi, I'm Zora, and I am 19-year-old student who grew up in Mount Vernon. I am currently taking a gap year in Norway, and I am looking to do some pet care when I return home for the summer. During high school I was a dedicated leadership volunteer and a teacher aide at a preschool. I have a cat and a small dog and I love taking care of pets! I can stay at your house or just drop by when needed, and I can walk smaller dogs or calmer large dogs - I'm just not strong enough to handle super big dogs if they pull a lot when walking. I am very calm and gentle and I volunteered at the NOAH animal shelter for three years with both dogs and cats. I love animals and my goal is to make them feel comfortable and safe when they are in my care. I don’t have my summer schedule solidified yet, but I will prioritize any bookings made here. Once I make a commitment, I stick with it. I do not offer boarding, but I have a small, dog-friendly car so I can take them for a hike or a visit to the park if you are comfortable. I will spend as much time as I can with your pets to ensure they feel loved, comfortable, and happy when they are in my care. I am gentle and patient and will not force affection on animals who aren’t enthusiastic about it.

“Karolina dropped by a couple times on 5-6-26 to walk our Brody and play with him while we were away. She is definitely worth 5 stars! We've already booked her for a second sitting. I would highly recommend her!”

“Pam is awesome! She is flexible and accommodating. She house sat our dogs Teddy & Ellie for a few days and sent lots of updates & pictures. I consider myself to be a helicopter dog parent and Pam quickly put me at ease with her great communication :) Teddy & Ellie were tired and happy when we returned. We will definitely be using Pam again in the future! ”
