Jelise has been absolutely amazing with Diesel during a very stressful family emergency for us. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, cared for, and stayed on his normal routine. I really appreciated the detailed updates, photos, and how attentive she was to his meals, water, potty breaks, and overall behavior. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while I had to focus on family. You can tell she genuinely cares for the animals she watches. Diesel clearly felt comfortable with her, and that means everything to me. I’m beyond grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and the love she showed my boy. I would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter.

Tyler did a great job with drop-in visits for my cat, Gina. He kept me updated with messages and pictures, so I always knew how she was doing while I was away. I really appreciated his communication and care—definitely grateful and would recommend him!

If I could leave 10+ stars out of 5; I would! Jordan was amazing and so reassuring! She noticed my dog’s eye was a little red and offered to bring meds for my dog… so thoughtful! To add to her awesomeness, she also was flexible with her schedule and was able to accommodate me when I requested to add another drop in day of. My dogs loved her… it was obvious during our meet and greet and on photos. Will certainly book again and recommend to others.

About: I started working as a vet tech at 17 and have two years of boarding experience at a veterinary hospital, well versed in schedules and procedures including medication and special needs. Currently working but flexible schedule, willing to work with your needs! Older/less active dogs preferred but happy to play with a puppy when so necessary. I worked directly beneath the boarding manager and trained new staff in observation, care schedules, and proper safety protocols. I also form bonds of trust with any animal I’m working with to ensure their and my comfort.

About: I always send pictures to update the owners, and let them know what we did that day or how the animal was that way they know everything is going smoothly. Just got home for the summer from college. I’m working part time tuesday-thursday 4pm-10pm but other than that i’m super flexible. I care for people’s pets as if they were my own, growing up with animals has made me love each and every animal I see out in public, I’m one of those people who will ALWAYS ask to pet your dog.

Julia did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was very accommodating and kept me regularly updated on how he was and what they were doing that day. Thanks to her I was able to keep my mind at ease and when I came back he didn't seem at all stressed. I would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future when available.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have been caring for other people’s pets since I was 16. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely love. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’m attentive to each pet’s needs- whether that means playtime, walks, sticking to routines, or simply keeping them company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m currently a medical student in my preclinical years, which gives me a flexible schedule with limited in-person requirements. During the summer I have generally open availability, so I’m able to provide consistent care, walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can often accommodate last-minute bookings depending on my schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and pay close attention to their behavior and individual needs. Whether I’m caring for dogs, cats, or other animals, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and attentive environment. I’m careful with feeding routines, secure handling, and making sure pets feel comfortable in their own space. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

McKayla did a great job caring for my community cat, made sure the food was put out, sent helpful updates, and included pictures so I could see that everything was okay. I really appreciated her communication and reliability, especially since caring for a feral cat can be a little different than caring for an indoor pet. I would definitely recommend her and would book with her again.
