Cynthia did two drop visits in one day with my sweet Edwyn pup. She kept me updated each step of the way and left my keys in the proper spot. I especially appreciated her photos and walk summaries. Thank you, Cynthia!

Jennifer was such a thorough and thoughtful pet sitter for my cat Cece. Cece is notoriously slow to warm up to people and kind of anxious, but did warm up to Jennifer in about 4-5 days. 🤗 it was such a relief to have Jennifer feeding her and taking care of her daily.

Andrea was really great with my senior diabetic cat who needs insulin shots and pills everyday. Wonderful personality, trust-worthy, and reliable sitter. She also told me all about caring for her own cats and mother’s cat so I knew she is a real cat person that needs no instruction on cat language :)

Ruby is an excellent pet sitter who has taken care of my dog, Belle many times. Belle is always excited to see Ruby, which I think is great as Belle is very old and hardly gets excited for anything anymore!

About: My pronouns are they/them or xe/xem. I'd like the opportunity to gain experience with dog sitting. I was raised with dogs and lived with a roommate for a couple of years who had a dog. My availability is flexible. Working part time only and shifts varies each week. I perfer house and pet sitting to stay overnight so I can be attentive to special needs. I can follow a set routine for indoor and outdoor needs as well as crate usage. If walking is needed, I'd need to care for a trained dog.

Jordan was fantastic. She checked in with pictures and updates each visit, and helped when the litter robot was acting up. I felt my kitties were loved and cared for while I was away, which makes all the difference. I highly recommend her and hope to book with her again.

Rayshell is amazing, Iwas worried to leave my pups at home but she made sure I was updated on everything the pups did. Going the extra mile to ensure they were happy and fed and tired before leaving.

Fulinag was amazing with our senior Golden Retriever, Daisy! He has arthritis and needs extra attention, but he made him feel right at home. He sent us daily updates with photos and made sure he took all his medications on schedule. The enclosed yard was perfect for his gentle exercise needs. We're so grateful to have found such a caring and professional sitter.

About: I grew up with a cute little mixed-breed Maltese and a gray Dalmatian during my primary school years. I was too young to know how to properly care for them, but my bond with pets started back then. After college, I began living with roommates and friends who owned dogs and cats. I gradually learned how to walk them, feed them, discipline them, and play with them while their paw parents were away on vacation or too busy to do so. I genuinely care about these little cuties, and I hope to connect with your pets soon! I have a hybrid work schedule and am available for boarding from Thursday to Sunday, starting at 8 AM. I can also provide pet care on other weekdays with advance notice. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets by maintaining a pet-friendly space with plenty of room for play and relaxation. I ensure that pets are fed according to their specific dietary needs and provide them with regular exercise through walks or playtime. I also give pets the attention they need by offering cuddles, petting, and mental stimulation. For overnight stays, I make sure they have a cozy spot to sleep and that their routine remains consistent to reduce stress. I stay in touch with the pet owner and send updates, photos, or videos to keep them informed about their pet’s well-being.
