About: I have raised 2 dogs since puppies until older age. I have experience with older dogs and puppies. Love them all. I have no pets at the moment so any pet I care for will receive lots of love. Love all pets I can provide care in the morning and afternoon. I am available for many services. I can walk pets, play with them, feed them, take them out, cuddle them, and give them love. I can also stay in your house or apartment with your pet. I give pets lots of love and attention. I can give pets lots of love, cuddle with them and give them treats, practice commands, or also just give them space and take them out for walks. I love dogs, I also like cats. Any pets are a joy
“Jessica is amazing! She has been doing weekly visits with our high energy lab puppy and has been a life saver. She is very trustworthy, always on time and our puppy loves her!”

“We had a fantastic experience with Sofia while she took care of our dogs, Cooper and Bella, for five consecutive days. From the start, she was punctual, well prepared, and thoughtful. She even came by beforehand for a meet & greet to make sure everyone was comfortable. Throughout our time away, Sofia kept us consistently updated with clear communication, detailed visit reports, and plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. She closely followed all of our care instructions and treated Cooper and Bella with genuine attention and kindness. We also appreciated her flexibility when we unexpectedly needed an extra visit on the last day. She handled it smoothly and without hesitation. Overall, Sofia is reliable, communicative, and truly caring. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to look after their pets. We will definitely book with her again! Thanks Sofia!”

“I was nervous about traveling, since it had been many years since we needed a pet sitter, but Christine made it easy. She stayed in contact and let us know when she had dropped by, and the cats got everything they needed. We'll definitely hire her again!”

“Natalia was great with Flynn. He can be a little scaredy cat/hisses at strangers but he really warmed up to her. She was great at communication and pics/videos and put my mind at ease. Will def use her again in the future.”


“Grace was wonderful with our four cats! She was so patient with one of our cats who needs to take oral mediation twice a day and gave us a lot of updates on how it was going. We don’t travel often so it was a relief to know our boys were taken care of!”

“Kimberly is absolutely fantastic!! She came and met the cat (and us) two days before our scheduled trip. The first thing she did when she entered our apartment was introduce herself to Laney. We gave her tons of information especially since we had never left the cat for more than a day. She blew me away from day 1. I allow my cat to pick out her food for the day by holding two packets and giving her whichever packet she rubs her face on. It sounds a little kooky but Kimberly did this everyday I checked our cameras every day after the notification that she had arrived just to check and saw her giving Laney her choices of wet food. She sent me amazingly detailed information about what they played, how she ate, and just Laney's general disposition during the visit. Kimberly went above and beyond on the last day by bringing in a package with litter and kibble! We booked Kimberly for one hour visits. I, again, typically checked our cameras about 5-10 minutes before the end of the visit. Every day, she was still in our living room playing with Laney and engaging her. I, truly, cannot not find anything wrong with how she met my VERY high expectations. She helped decrease my anxiety about Laney which, in turn, helped both my husband and me enjoy our vacation that much more!”
“From day one Jim proved to be incredible, professional, caring and attentive to our dog. He kept us updated with regular messages and pictures. What really impressed us is that our dog who tends to be aggressive at times, loved him! Thanks again for your outstanding service, Jim!”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing watching my dogs for three days! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved on the entire time. She followed all instructions perfectly and treated them like her own. When I returned, everything was clean, organized, and my pups were calm and content — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur babies, but Lauren exceeded every expectation. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. Thank you, Lauren! 🐾💛”

“Marissa is extremely reliable and kind, and our cat is always excited to see her! She always sends us great updates with adorable photos and makes it much easier to leave our cat at home when we go out of town.”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets and have grown up around both cats and dogs. I’ve owned cats for many years and had a family dog growing up, so I’m comfortable with different pet personalities and routines. I’m familiar with feeding schedules, litter box and yard care, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I’m attentive, reliable, and patient with animals. I understand that every pet is different, whether they’re energetic, shy, or independent, and I adjust my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. I always treat pets like they’re my own and I’m happy to send updates and photos so owners have peace of mind while they’re away I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate consistent time to pet care throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. I make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins are done on time so pets stay comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you know your pet is doing well. I prioritize safety, routine, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, and litter box or yard care. I also make sure pets get attention, playtime, and companionship so they don’t feel stressed while their owners are away. I respect each home and keep everything clean and secure, including making sure doors, gates, and food storage are handled properly. I’m attentive to pet behavior and always keep an eye out for anything unusual so I can communicate with the owner right away if needed. My goal is to keep pets as relaxed and safe as possible by maintaining their normal routine and environment.
“Alonso was great and friendly! He came and met our pups before the drop-in to get acquainted with them and their routine. He was on the and sent photos to give us happy updates. We plan on continuing to have him help take care of our pups.”

“I can't say enough great things about Jacqui! They went above and beyond while checking on my dog, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands. Not only did they make sure all the basics were covered—food, water, bathroom breaks, but they also took the time to give my dog some love, playtime, and attention, which made all the difference. I got regular updates (including some adorable photos!), and I could tell my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It’s clear that Jacqui truly loves animals and treats them like their own. Reliable, kind, and completely trustworthy. I'd recommend Jacqui to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry family members. Thank you so much for everything!”

Wendy did a fantastic job watching our two cats! One of our cats is incredibly shy and Wendy brought a bunch of toys to lure her out from a distance. She did a great job documenting all of the moments with our little ones so that we knew what was going on. I will absolutely use her again!

Lauren was absolutely amazing watching my dogs for three days! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved on the entire time. She followed all instructions perfectly and treated them like her own. When I returned, everything was clean, organized, and my pups were calm and content — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur babies, but Lauren exceeded every expectation. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. Thank you, Lauren! 🐾💛

Cindy took great care of my kittens. She kept them cared for and entertained and shared great photos and updates during the visits. She also was great about communicating prior to and during the visit. I needed to make adjustments to my dates after I booked, and she was responsive to those requests. I definitely would book with her again!

Nataliia did an excellent job taking care of our kitties while my husband and I were on our honeymoon! I always get nervous leaving the cats for longer periods of time, but Nataliia totally put me at ease. She is very communicative and sent lots of great photos while we were away. Even our normally shy and skittish cat felt comfortable around her. I would definitely recommend!

Megan was great with my cat and went above and beyond in every way. Communication was excellent throughout my trip, and I came home to find everything in perfect order. She clearly takes her job seriously and genuinely cares about the animals in her care. Highly recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to book again.

If I could give more stars than 5 I would. Sam is the only sitter that my cat trusted enough to come out of hiding. I have a cat with a traumatic history and normally he does not budge from the farthest depths under the bed. I finally can stop worrying about my gentle giant while I am away.
