I could tell immediately at our meet and greet that my girls felt safe with her, which would have been enough for a five star review, but she was also thoughtful and thorough with her care of the house and kitties while we were gone! 11/10 recommend!

17. Thalia H.
About: My husband and I have been taking care of dogs for over a decade, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. As active people, we love taking dogs out on walks and playing fetch! We also have experience administering medication (pills, liquids, eyedrops, and injections) for dogs as needed. You can definitely expect lots of photos and videos of your cutie! Since we both work from home, we’re able to keep a close eye on your pet and take them out for frequent potty breaks and walks :). Though we don’t have a yard, we live in a safe neighborhood and can take your pet out for multiple walks a day! Pets are allowed on the furniture and can sleep freely at night. We also only take ONE client at a time :).
18. Margo G.
“Margo is exceptional with pets! Kind, caring, responsible, and fun to be around. She absolutely loves my pittie, and takes such good care of him! Margo always follows all the care instructions, responds quickly, and is always willing to help when we need her. My pitbull is obsessed with her and is always looking forward to seeing her!”
19. Vanderlie D.
“Vanderlie did a great job taking care of our Booger. She was very prompt about her appointments with Booger. When we got back from our time away Booger was just as loving as she always is. We will use Vanderlie again in the future if we need to be away again.”
20. Namita & Sijan S.
About: We have a maltipoo who is two and a half years and we’ve grown up with pets and have had friends and family leave their pets with us for weeks.. very friendly with pets and love taking care of them! We work from home so we’re always there to tend to our fur babies. We walk them around our neighborhood and play with them. We feed them according to their schedule & make sure they eat their own food. We live in a gated community and have a secure backyard where our fur babies can play. If you think your fur baby does better in a crate then you’re more than welcome to bring one so they can be comfortable in it as we do not have any crates. Our baby sleeps in our room and so will yours. Rest assured they’ll be in a very comfortable, happy and pet friendly environment. And they’ll for sure get plenty of cuddles and massages…
