Nicole was superb: friendly, prompt, communicative, and most of all, really great with our two puppies. They got more walks with her than they have in a very long time! She sent videos, photos, and updates each day, which we really appreciated. Will absolutely book her again.

Patricia was an incredible sitter for my two cats, Kimchi and Bumi! Her communication was clear, prompt, and consistent throughout the stay, I always felt in the loop. She was flexible with a few last-minute changes, which I really appreciated. But what truly stood out was how thoughtful she was: with a major back injury, I couldn’t manage the litter or trash, and she kindly took care of both without hesitation. Her support made it possible for me to actually enjoy my trip without worry. Highly recommend Patricia, your pets (and you) will be in great hands!

Elizabeth took amazing care of our dog and our home while we were away for a wedding this weekend. She is a great communicator, updated us every day on how our dog was doing, and our dog was in great spirits when we returned! We will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future and would highly recommend to a friend.

We couldn’t have been happier with Jasmine. She stayed at our home for a full week while we were out of the country, and she took amazing care of our three senior pups. We got brief daily updates, and came home to happy, relaxed dogs and a spotless house. Truly grateful for the peace of mind - highly recommend.

Jordan was absolutely amazing - great energy, reliable, and lovely to work with overall. She stayed at our house and took care of our sweet (and stubborn) girl River while we were on vacation. We received daily updates and we felt super comfortable and reassured that River was in great hands. I could not recommend her enough and definitely plan to hire Jordan again!

Mairead is an amazing sitter. She took such great care of my dog who had just gotten diagnosed with cancer. Another sitter cancelled on me with 18 hours’ notice. I reached out to Mairead and she swooped in like Superman. I couldn’t be more grateful. She was diligent and communicative. Look no further than Mairead for all your sitting needs.

Allison was excellent with our senior border collie! She went above and beyond to give Lucky great care and keep our minds at ease. When our flights were delayed a whole day, she even made accommodations to stay the extra night so that we didn’t have to scramble to find someone else. When we came home, Lucky was the calmest we’ve ever seen her after a trip!

About: From the day I was born, I have had a passion for animal care that has connected to me a variety of creatures, big and small. I’ve had pets at every age of my life and every pet has changed me for the better and kept a special place in my heart. From dogs to cats to amphibians to reptiles to fish to rodents, I’ve cared for all types of critters and they are all just as important to me as the next one. I currently have a pitbull mix, a cat, and a leopard gecko so I am no stranger to caring for multiple animals at once. I have also spent a summer working in a veterinary office as a vet assistant so I am more than comfortable with caring for animals with special needs and cleaning up after them, if need be. I promise to look after your family as if they were my family. I am currently a full time grad student so I am available sometimes during the day but will most always be available in the evenings and weekends. Please feel free to reach out to discuss times. I care for every animal that I’ve ever met with the same amount of love and respect. All creatures are equal in my eyes so I always try to imagine life from their perspective. I treat and care for them how I would want to be treated and cared for. Since I have a dog of my own, I unfortunately can not offer stays at my home but I am more than willing to care for and/or walk your pets in your home and neighborhood. I look forward to meeting you and your family.

Lizbeth is a life saver! She was able to help me take care of my 10 year old German Shepard at a last minute notice and she took such good care of him. She kept in constant communication and send pictures with updates and how my dog was doing. She went out of her way to take very good care of him and I came back home to a happy doggo. She’s highly recommended and I will definitely be using her services in the future.

Vladimir was wonderful! I felt our animals (two dogs and a cat) were so well taken care of. We got many pictures throughout the weekend that showed happy animals being fed, played with, and resting!! And the pictures were truly of professional quality! I could never have captured my beloved pets the way he and his daughter Anna (who helped over the weekend) did.

Jacky was wonderful! So quick and easy to communicate and set up a meet and greet with. We needed dog sitting for a weekend. Our dogs are reactive to people and after explaining this to Jacky, she was up for seeing if it will work. My dogs took to her very quickly!! We got updates and pictures, including how well they were acclimating to her! We can’t thank her enough and will definitely be booking her services again!

Allison was incredibly patient, calm, and thoughtful with my very fearful dog. She handled slow trust-building, medication, and accidents with total professionalism and genuine kindness, always respecting my dog’s boundaries. Her consistent updates gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so happy she was available to book for my last trip and she will absolutely be my first choice in the future.

Ahriel housesat for us for 15 days over the holiday to care for our Boston Terrier, Millie. Ahriel was very professional, responsible, and reliable. Ahri was thoughtful in her questions during the meet and greet and Millie liked her immediately, which isn’t always the case. While we were away, she communicated regularly with us in line with our agreed frequency, sending photos and making note of anything concerning. She stayed at our home while we were away and left it clean and exactly as it was when we left (maybe better?). Millie is happy and healthy! I would highly recommend Ahri and will always check her availability for future sits!

Vanessa is amazing. I just adopted a rescue two days prior and had separation anxiety, as did I. She also had a seizure condition si so it was so comforting to have someone who knew what was had to be done in case of an emergency. Vanessa put Olivia at ease. She sent me pictures throughout the night. Olivia even followed her to the door when sheleft. She asked such good questions at the start of the night about the emergency syringe and ER if needed. Feel so grateful for her. Highly recommend!
