“Natalie took great care of our pets (cat and dog) and our home! She met with us in person prior to the sit, and provided several updates with photos everyday throughout the sit. We appreciate the care she took to ensure we would feel comfortable and confident during our time away from our pets and home. We would definitely welcome here again and highly recommend her for future pet care :)”

“Rev was great in taking care of our two girls for a week. We got images of them and updates. When Pepper got sick, she kept us updated so that when we took her to the emergency vet the day we arrived we had the details of when it started. The house was clean when we arrived and you can tell she treated our girls well :) Fig panicked and cried when Rev said goodbye and left when we got home so that says a lot!!”

“Alana is absolutely wonderful and made our little ones feel at ease. Our cat Leo & new pup Simone immediately connected with Alana and I had full confidence that everyone was in great hands. Thanks again!!”

“Cynthia was amazing to work with! We have 4 cats who don’t get along well and she took on the task with ease. She provided so many updates, pictures and hopped on the phone with us when we were getting anxious about being away for so long. She was very respectful of our home and really loved our cats like her own. We appreciate her so much and recommend her to anyone who is feeling a bit anxious about leaving their pet!”

“Rida was absolutely wonderful! She was so patient, kind, and caring with Kitty, and I could tell she truly loves animals. She took great care of him and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Jess did a great job taking care of our dogs and cat while we were away. She spent a lot of time with them and gave us updates every day. She was responsible and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.”

“Madeleine is the best! She watches my 12 week old lab, Maverick, when I’m working longer nursing shifts. She is so helpful with maintaining his schedule and helping with his crate training (no shortage of cuddles, playing and walks either!) It takes a lot of trust to leave your puppy with someone, as they’re helping teach them the rules of being a dog- but I know he’s in the best hands when he’s with Madeleine!”

“Sara was amazing! Our 11 month old Violet loved her immediately. We asked her short notice, to stay a few extra hours and she was super accommodating and responsive. Can't say enough positive things about our experience. Will definitely use again!”

“Camila was the best!! She took such great care of my pup for a weekend. She sent pictures and updates. I felt very comfortable knowing she was caring my dog while away. Definitely would recommend!!!! Thank you!”

“Charlene has become part of our family. Tater Tot gets so excited to see her every time he is with her. We trust her with his care completely. As a dog with a sensitive stomach, she is very communicative about how he is doing and careful to be consistent with his medical and dietary needs. Charlene is beyond 5 stars.”

“Absolutely wonderful!! Was very nervous about leaving my dog with someone for the first time as he is very skittish, but Julia was wonderful with him!! She sent updates regularly making it easier for me to relax. Will definitely be using her again!!”

About: I have grown up with at least two dogs in my house at all times, caring from puppyhood to old age and pet sat for many others. I also did an internship in high school with a veterinarian. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved! I currently have a lots of free time to spend with your pups! I’m free all day, everyday during the week and on most weekends! I care for all pet as if they were my own! I follow their routines, keep their space clean, and give them plenty of playtime, walks and attention. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable and loved while you are away!
“Cressida did a great job taking care of Musia. She sent us daily pictures of Musia and it was great to see our cat happy. She was quick to respond to our questions and we felt very comfortable while she was taking care of Musia. On your return Musia was in very good mood :)). We would highly recommend Cressida!!”

“Micaela was fantastic!! She took care of our Goldendoodle for 4 days while we were away and thanks to her excellent communication and clear love of dogs we did not worry for a minute! She sent us lots of pictures and made sure our dog was well taken care of. I hope we can book her again next time we’re away.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. I’d be happy to help take care of yours!! I have experience with senior animals, so I can help with any medications, special treatments, and also be conscientious of any mobility impairments I’m a junior in college looking to pick up some cash for my semester abroad in the spring! Aside from working around classes, I have plenty of availability. More than happy to take your animals on a walk, play around with them outside, take them out for bathroom breaks as needed, feed+medicate them, and bathe/groom them!
