“Briana is the absolute best of the best. Super reliable, trustworthy and easygoing. I trust her immensely with taking care of our cat while we’re away - be it a few days to a few weeks!”
“Jessica was great - she looked after my Alaskan Malamute, and ensured he was safe when we were away. She provided pictures, so I felt at ease. I would definitely contact Jessica again when we next go away. THANKS, Jessica”
“Xuni was fantabulous. My kitties loved her! She even offered to entertain them with her own laser pointer. My younger cat, Soda, had just gotten spayed a couple days prior to me leaving, and Xuni handled the care of both of them so well. Baxter and Soda had to be separated while her incision healed, and Xuni made sure that both cats were given enough attention each!!!”
“Chelsea was great!!! She took great care of hops during her visit. She sent great pictures and was very good at communicating prior to visiting!! Will book her again!!”
“Kim did an excellent job watching creme. She also brought in packages and helped water the garden. Really appreciate that you go above and beyond! Awesome work!”
“Holly ended up being the perfect match to care for my cat while I was away for the weekend! Communication was great and she is the only person I know that my cat immediately warmed up to! He tends to be shy and it usually takes him some time to get comfortable with new people but he seemed to enjoy her company from the first time she walked in the door! I highly recommend Holly and absolutely plan on using her services anytime I plan to be away! I can tell she cared for my fur baby just as much as she cares for her own which helps relieve the anxiety of leaving him with someone new!”
“Nicole was great with my cat Hallie! Hallie is a very sweet and loving cat, but also very skittish around strangers. In a few short days, Nicole was able to gain her trust and Hallie would hang out with her. Nicole was very quick with responding to messages, particularly when I had questions or concerns, especially when Hallie was found to have some health issues less than a week before I was going out of town. Hallie seemed much happier and more energetic when I came back than when I left. I attribute that to Nicole taking such great care of her.”
“Nicole was amazing!! Very easy to communicate with. Always sent lots of pictures with updates about how each visit went. She was flexible and accommodating. I cant recommend her enough and will definitely use her in the future! 10/10!!”
“Sara was an outstanding sitter.She took such care with our geriatric cat, spending quality time with him and making sure he had plenty of attention while we were away. She was incredibly communicative and thorough and sent such beautiful photos of our cat! I cannot recommend her highly enough!!”
“We are grateful to Paulina for responding to our last minute request for pet sitting. She did a great job taking care of our cats and gave us up-to-date info for each visit,”
“Kelly was great watching our cat over a long weekend. She was quick to communicate with, sent updates, and kept my cat happy and fed. She even did a "pre-visit" to meet my pet before we left. Would recommend and will book again!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and understanding of dogs, shaped by having three rescue dogs of my own. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pups and focus on building trust at their pace. I have experience with puppies, reinforcing routines and basic training, and I’m attentive to senior dogs who need extra care. I treat every dog like family and provide consistent updates so you always feel confident they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾 I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have time to hang with your pups! I'm available weekdays for 8am, afternoon walks and 6pm walks. I am not available after 7pm. Available on some weekends. I am not currently taking dogs into my home. I will take one pet on a case-by-case basis as I have three dogs at home. I have an electronic fence.
“Jen was fantastic! We couldn’t be happier with her exceptional care of our dog Finn! Jen kept us updated with texts, videos and photos. Between the long walks, movie time and playtime, I don’t think she missed us at all! I would not hesitate to call Jen again!!”
“Ashley was great with taking care of my dog while I was gone. My dog was just getting over being sick, so she needed a little more TLC, and Ashley kindly delivered. I am so grateful for her.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. Now I have 2 cats of my own which I adore. I love getting outside for walks any time of day and can do as long as your dog wants to! We just moved and I will not be working until a spot in daycare opens for my son. I can do daily drop-in’s and walks any day of the week. I will treat your home the way I would want a guest to treat mine and I will care for your pet like they are my own!
“Michelle is amazing with our three senior dogs. One is deaf, one is stubborn, and one is very excitable, so it’s definitely not an easy group to manage. She handled them all with patience and care, and after her first visit we felt completely comfortable.”
About: I am home full time, have 2 girls 7 and 12 who love dogs as well, I grew up with golden retrievers my whole life, I used to take care of my neighbors dog bc she would work until 11pm at night so her dog would come to my house and we would brush her and feed her, make her feel not so lonely. I am recovering from cancer so I am looking after dogs would just increase my mood so much as well as get me out and walking. Your dog would never be lonely in my house! We are definitely dog lovers!! My children are not timid or afraid of dogs, we live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walking, running and playing!

Great experience with Xuni! She was professional, punctual, and communicative throughout the entire trip. I especially loved the twice-daily check-ins; the 'proof of life' photos and videos she sent were fantastic and really put my mind at ease while I was away. Beyond just the basics, she went the extra mile by bringing in packages and keeping the litter area spotless. Most importantly, I came home to very calm and content cats—it was clear Maizey and Clementine were well-cared for and not stressed at all. I’ll definitely be booking her again. Highly recommended!
Jessica went above and beyond for us. While we were traveling she visited our senior cat multiple times a day during snowfall and even shoveled the snow. Nothing but ease and peace of mind while our cat was in her care. We look forward to working with her again! Thank you!
Kevin took great care of my cats and made me feel a lot better about leaving them alone for the first time. I was unusually anxious, but he came over to meet me and them and learn their routine, and made me feel comfortable right away. He was very patient with Biscuit, who's shy, and I could tell Mango felt comfortable around him. Will definitely book with him again the next time I need a cat sitter.
Jenny was dependable, communicative, and incredibly attentive to our dog. She truly went above and beyond, even staying with our pup and adjusting her schedule when needed. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.
