Stephanie did a wonderful job taking care of my cats while I was away! My cats were very well cared for when I returned and it was clear she enjoyed spending time with them from her thoughtful updates. Would definitely recommend choosing Stephanie to care for your pets!

Ingrid is a fantastic pet care giver! She watched both of my dogs and 3 cats when I was out of town for a week. She did a phenomenal job and was able to give my cat their antibiotics that week without issues! Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough great things about Andre and the amazing care he provided for my dog, Cookie! From the moment they met, it was clear that Cookie adored him—and I could tell right away that Andre genuinely loves animals. He was responsible, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure Cookie felt comfortable, happy, and loved while I was away. When I came home, Cookie was relaxed, well-exercised, and clearly had a wonderful time. I would absolutely trust Andre with Cookie again in a heartbeat. He’s a true gem!

About: I love all animals, and have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and breeds. I've owned animals my entire life, and also worked for a doggy daycare for 8 years. I have experience feeding, medicating, and walking dogs. I have also pet-sat (including cats, fish, and rodents) for clients and friends/family. I'm working part time right now, so I have time in the early afternoons and evenings most weekdays and weekends for walks, playtime, or just plenty of treats for your best friend :) For pet-sitting reservations, I stay in the client's home as a double benefit - there is someone to watch over your house while you're away, and your pets get to stay in the comfort of their own home! I do at least one in-person home visit with new clients prior to booking so I can get to know you and your pets (and vice versa).

We needed someone to feed and care for our cat while we were away, and Sara was great. We did a quick meet and greet before we left, and she came at the scheduled time each day we were away to care for Ginny. She sent pictures, and communicated well. Highly recommended.

5 Stars! Highly Recommend! I have been using Morgan for a few years to watch my cats while I am away on vacation or traveling for work. I couldn't be happier with the service! Not only is she fantastic with my cats (I get text updates with pics), but her flexibility has made my life so much easier. It's a relief to know I can count on her and that my cats are in great hands.

I’ve gone to school with Alissa since PK and I’ve become great friends with her. Without a doubt Alissa is one of the most caring and outgoing people I know. She is always willing to give a helping hand and always checks on others. She is always available and easy to reach when I need help and always provides the best advice. Even when we were younger she was always the most responsible and hardworking of my friends. She’s incredibly determined to do a good and thorough job with anything and everything she does. She loves animals and animals absolutely love her. My dog is never friendly with new people but with her he was instantly friendly and only wanted pets and kisses. If there is one person to I’d recommend as a loving pet caregiver, it’s without a doubt Alissa.

Lenah was absolutely wonderful with my 11-year-old fear-reactive Australian Shepherd. She took extra special care not to force interaction and allowed Lady to approach on her terms. By the first visit, they were friends, by the third, they were best friends with puppy kisses and belly rubs. Lenah was always polite, respectful, and punctual for the visits. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for companionship for their fur babies.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, a rabbit, amphibians, reptiles, rodents, etc. I also have experience working on farms helping care for animals. I am very happy to have worked with animals my entire life and would love to contribute to helping with as many as I can! I am very receptive to animals feelings and boundaries and have no problem leaving them be and giving them space, or playing with them and giving them all the love and care in the world. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, and providing them with whatever extra care they may need. I am very much open in terms of my schedule, and am available to work with others in accommodating them during the week for pet care. I live in a pet friendly apartment with access to food, water, a safe walking trail, a clean environment, a tidy room, access to the bathroom, plenty of room for playtime, and so much love.

Alyssa loves and cares for my dog as if she is her own. My dog has social anxiety and isn't great with people but Alyssa is one of her favorite friends and she makes her feel very comfortable. Alyssa is very responsible, loves animals, and would take great care of any pet.
