“Elizabeth was prompt with her visits and reports. She made me feel secure about being away from Tula. Everything was in order when we returned. I would trust her to check on her again if needed.”
“Hanna is great! Our cat really warmed up to her and we felt good knowing she was there to spend time! She handled everything really smoothly and sent lots of pictures. I would absolutely recommend Hanna for your pet care needs!”
“Caitlin is amazing! She took extra great care of our cat while we were away for 10 days and made her feel like we never left, by giving her lots and lots of love. We’ll definitely work with Caitlin again in the future!”
“Deana was thoughtful and communicative. She also went above and beyond and helped me with my keeping my snake's water bowl filled while I was away. She took so many photos and I knew my powers were in wonderful hands. I would definitely book Deana again.”
“Jamie took wonderful care of Karma. She communicated with me when she visited and sent me pictures of Karma living the life. She alerted me when I had a beeping smoke detector. (it turned out to the be the carbon monoxide detector; battery) and when my door lock errored. I will definitely use her again!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Alaina! She cared for my two cats while I was away at the beach, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She was always on time, incredibly attentive, and even went above and beyond by helping out with a few additional things that needed to be done around the house. Most importantly, she gave my cats so much love and attention — it was clear they were happy and well cared for. I came home to relaxed, content pets and a sense of total peace. Alaina was absolutely amazing, and I truly can’t thank her or recommend her enough!”
“Daphne cared for our 16 year old cat for 9 days while we were out of the country. We received detailed updates and pictures twice a day. It was clear that she made a real effort to coax our elderly cat to eat, spent time just sitting with her on her lap,and making her feel "tended to". She also had no problem administering several medications that she takes, and seemed very competent and knowledgeable. She volunteered to take out our trash bins, and turned on and off our porch lights. Daphne is mature and able to handle any pet or home situation, she communicates effectively, and I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“I'm so grateful to Doc for taking care of my cat Minou! They were attentive and responsive, keeping an eye on everything and worked at getting my shy kitty to come out of her shell. The picture updates were much appreciated and I'd highly recommend Doc!”
“Ash did such a wonderful job taking care of our boys! We looked forward to reading the updates and pictures of our cats every day! Ash is clearly very loving and caring towards all animals, and I feel lucky that we can trust Ash with the care of our boys. On top of the wonderful care provided, Ash is courteous, professional, communicative, and punctual. I would highly recommend their services!”
“I booked Natasha to drop in on my cats over Christmas weekend. She was very communicative and spent a good amount of time playing with the kitties—would recommend!”
“Margarida did a great job with both my cats, she took her time with them while they eased into meeting someone new. She sent detailed updates and a lot of pictures/videos. They were both in great spirits even after us being gone 5 days. Would definitely book again.”
“Robin was excellent and our cats clearly loved her! She was professional, easy to work with, and sent us some really great/funny pictures while we were gone. We will definitely be repeat clients in the future!”
About: I have had dogs in my life since i was 11 years old (27 years). Last october i had to say goodbye to my companion of 11 years, Wanda. I am not ready for another dog of my own and want to be around your dogs as much as possible. I believe in reciprocal relational dynamics between humans and dogs are the best approach to training and trust, not dominance and control. I would like to care for your dog by building a relationship with them based on their personality and needs. Would love to meet you and your dog! I am currently a self-employed carpenter and bee keeper. My schedule is very flexible and i can work with you and your dogs schedule and needs. I live in a household with 3 other dogs who are my roommates', so I cannot board at my home, but am more than happy and available for caring for them at yours. I am good with all size and age of dogs.
“Noah is our go to dog sitter whenever we have to go out of town. Noah is reliable, provides regular updates, plays with our pup and ensures that all of our pups needs are met. Knowing that Noah is taking care of our Benji when we’re away puts our mind at ease. I am so happy to have found this service and will continue to book Noah for future trips :)”
“I was a little hesitant to leave the fur babies when I went on vacation for a week. However, I wanted them to be able to stay at home instead of taking them to a boarder. Arissa went above and beyond! She filled out the daily report cards, made sure they ate and played with them with their laser pointer. When I returned home the kitties were well taken care of and around their litter and food was very tidy! I will definitely rebook next trip I take.”
“Alyce was amazing with my cat Deku over Memorial Day weekend! She sent thoughtful updates, kept him happy and comfortable, and I came home to a relaxed, well-cared-for kitty. Highly recommend and would definitely book with her again! 🐾”

Monty G.Star Sitter
“Monty has been my go-to dog walker since 2022. I really appreciate how well they connect with my dog (she is all wags whenever they see each other, and she is not like that with everyone!) and it means a lot to me to be able to send her for a walk with someone I trust when I'm not able to myself. They're approach in relating to dogs really puts me at ease. They are a patient listener when my dog is trying to communicate something, but also balance that well with asserting limits. I think it really helps my dog feel secure with them. They are also reliable, courteous, and consistent in communicating with me, not just my dog. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible, caring dog walker.”
