About: I have experience with many types of dogs, and cats. I have owned dogs that are reactive, anxiety riddled, and high energy! Looking for someone to care for your pet can be incredibly stressful, and I am here to help. After my full time job working with students I would enjoy time with animals! Caring for others is my specialty and source of happiness during the week! I care for pets as if they are my own. I understand how stressful finding a pet sitter can be and want to make you and your pet feel comfortable and confident with my care. Please let me know your pet's personality and I will care for them accordingly.
About: I used to work at an animal Hospital and have attended formal training on pet care as well as hands-on experience. Plus, I’ve been a pet lover all my life!

I know which stuff are bad for pets so you’re guaranteed a safe stay with us. I am home all day so there will be constant care and guidance

Hoffa had such a great day with Sheri! We left our puppy with Sheri for a 12 hour stay in her home. She is an excellent communicator and always responded immediately when I reached out. We were really thankful she accommodated an EARLY morning drop off🥴. Additionally, we received photos, videos and updates throughout the day so we had peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely ask Sheri to help us with Hoffa again.
Yiran is so amazing! She was super accommodating, sent me lots of photos of my puppy and provided a comfortable and safe environment for her. I felt very secure leaving my 4 month old pup with her since she has puppy-raising experience, and she did not disappoint. Will definitely be booking again! ☺️

Connie and her pups were amazing. I had to do a pretty early drop off and late pick up and Connie was very puntual and responsive. Her gentle giant Casper was so good with my little dog and I got so many updates that showed me what a great time my dog was having. Thank you all so much for all the love you showed cielo
Dana very kindly accommodated us for a holiday booking, and our pup came home happy and tired! She was flexible and communicative, and pickup/drop off was very easy. We would definitely return!
Our pup came home happy and tired, it definitely looked like she had a fun day at Doug’s! He took her out on walks and she got to hang out with other dogs. Pickup & dropoff were easy and Doug was very friendly.
Jianju & Qianxiao were great! They took a bunch of photos and videos and my dog Tyrion didn’t want to leave at the end of the visit. I would definitely rebook with them.
Last minute I needed a sitter for my two pups while I was away on a business trip. Abhijit was quick to respond and set up a meet and greet in the same day. When I arrived at his home and met his dogs and family, I felt a sense of relief and knew he’d be a great sitter. My two dogs enjoyed playtime, walks, and the attention Abhijit and his family provided. Overall a very positive experience and I would definitely book again in the future.
