Jillian is thoughtful, communicative, and caring. She was gentle with my cat who initially was a little spicy toward her. Because of her patience, he quickly warmed up to her and when I returned seemed very calm and relaxed. Would recommend Jillian to anyone needing pet care!

Kylie was professional, friendly and did everything to make sure my 90lb pitbull was taken care of. She looked after him for a few days and stayed in touch with me the whole time. If you need someone who is a lover of all animals and professional: book Kylie.

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for my three dogs—Mya (14-year-old Silky), Maizie (6-year-old Australian Shepherd mix), and Zhu (13-year-old Black Lab). I’ve grown up with Maizie since she was a pup and have been with Mya and Zhu for five years, handling their care when my family is away. My deep bond with these dogs allows me to understand their unique needs and personalities. I specialize in attentive care for puppies and senior dogs and pride myself on making sure each pet feels comfortable, loved, and safe. As I work toward my CPA certification and prepare to start my accounting job in the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I’m used to balancing multiple responsibilities, and I enjoy taking care of my own pets, so offering pet care services fits naturally into my routine. Whether it’s walking dogs or caring for cats, I make sure to give each pet the attention they need while managing my study and job preparation time efficiently. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I ensure a pet-friendly, secure environment, with plenty of space for pets to relax and explore. I make sure all areas are free of hazards, and I provide fresh water and safe spaces for rest. Whether it’s during walks or while watching pets at their home, I closely supervise them, ensuring they are always safe and comfortable. I also prioritize communication with clients to ensure they trust me with their pets' well-being, offering regular updates and being responsive to any specific needs or concerns.

Jenna was amazing. This was the 1st time I’ve used a sitter for my pup. Remi (my toy poodle) was a little nervous at first but Jenna was so patient with her. I will definitely use her again!

Rebecca clearly loves being with dogs and has been a wonderful supporter of our pup. She communicates in a very timely manner regarding appointments and any potential bookings (even if they don't work). She's very flexible and has helped us even find better ways to work with our dog. We really appreciate Rebecca's patience with us as our pup is quite anxious at times and needs a little more attention to detail than most. He willingness to work with us even in a sometimes difficult situation cannot be applauded more and we really appreciate her!

Vanessa was fantastic with my 90lb pitbull. I was able to communicate clearly with her and she was very prompt with addressing any issues. I’m sure my pup will love to see her again. I will absolutely use her services in the future. Thank you, Vanessa.

Jill was absolutely amazing taking care of my dog. I had to take him to the emergency vet the day before leaving and Jill was willing to take care of him even though he was on medication and had to wear a cone! She was prompt and very communicative I will definitely be using her again!

I have had the pleasure of having Alexa take care of my two dogs. One is older, blind, deaf, and has some dementia. The other is a rescue that was abused in his former life. They immediately took a liking to her and enjoy their visits with her. She is reliable and punctual and goes above and beyond making sure they are happy and comfortable. I appreciate the daily updates and photos. I highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and trustworthy dog sitter.

I can’t recommend ellie kieselback enough as a pet caregiver. I have used her my whole life whether for a long vacation or a last minute sitter she is always there for me and my pets. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly treats every animal as if it were her own. From the moment she met my dogs and cat it was clear she has a natural connection with animals. She is also great at communicating, always sending thoughtful updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while i was away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just snuggles on the couch, i know my pet is it the best hands with ellie. anyone would be lucky to have her care for their furry family members!
