“Enya was quick to respond and immediately put me at ease when she came to meet Lucy before we left town. She sent daily updates and it was clear that Lucy was incredibly comfortable and getting all of the snuggles. I will happily book Enya again in the future!!”
“Aleksandra was nothing short of amazing! We booked on a super short notice and we got so lucky she was able to visit our girl three times! Lots of photos, great communication, and very friendly! Will definitely be booking with her every single time we go out of town and hope she will be available.”
“I am truly grateful for Areial for cat sitting. My cat got locked in the closet and I message her if she can come at her earliest convenience, and she came so early to release my cat. In addition, my cats love her and feel very comfortable with her. I highly recommend her service!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for Bella, Luna, and Charles. From the start, she was professional, attentive, and clearly cared deeply about my pets’ well-being—but what truly set her apart was how she handled an unexpected situation. One of my cats had a mishap while I was away, and she went completely above and beyond. She handled everything with such care, patience, and compassion, keeping me informed while also taking the initiative to make sure my pets were comfortable, clean, and safe. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing someone so capable and thoughtful was there. On top of that, Bella and Luna were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when I returned, and Charles was in great spirits too. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets, but she made it effortless. I am incredibly grateful and would absolutely book her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer made a great impression with her first visit. Arrived on time, followed all instructions for taking care of my cat for several days. I could tell from the pictures she sent that Kitty trusted her. I will definitely use Jennifer again”
“Kathryn was so kind and flexible as well as being completely adored by my dogs! Truly appreciated her ability to work within my schedule and will definitely have her help again.”

“This was our first experience working with a pet sitter who wasn’t a family member stopping by while we are away. Janine was great with our fur babies and we were able to enjoy our time away without worry. She even checked in after her last visit to make sure we were on schedule to make it back home as planned. I also appreciate the tips and info for doggie products as well as more practical ways to improve our daily routine with our fur babies. We definitely hope to continue to work with her in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m Channa, and I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life. Caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me, and I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. ❤️ I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a little girl and have experience fostering dogs as well. I recently lost my own dog after 14 years together, so I know firsthand just how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for them. I currently have a 5-year-old Staffordshire/Pitbull mix with my boyfriend, so I’m very comfortable with bigger dogs, strong personalities, and all the quirks that come with them! I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means a walk, some playtime, meals, medications, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits during the week after work hours, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and give them some extra love and attention while you’re away!
