Lucia and David are wonderful dog sitters! They have been incredibly flexible and helpful watching my dog during the day and they always go above and beyond. During a heatwave they offered to bring over ice cubes for my dogs water. Overall theyre excellent and I will be continuing to book with them!

I was always very happy when Vicky was available to watch my pets (2 cats and 1 bearded dragon). I have since moved out of the area and miss her pet care services. I knew my animals would be well taken care of and my instructions followed. Vicky would communicate by text with any questions and also send pictures of what my pets were up to in my absence. These communications prevented any worries I may have had about their care while I was away. Vicky loves animals, all types. I highly recommend Vicky to anyone looking for an attentive and reliable pet sitter.

Forrest and I are so happy to have had Trina drop in and spend time with him. She is a remarkable caregiver and her affection for dogs is undeniable. I did not have to worry about her professionalism (she kept to the scheduled appointment, showed up on time, did not leave the place in a mess, and appropriately engaged with my dog based on his interest and energy level). It’s hard to find someone who can connect with dogs as well as she does and we are excited to have her to sit for us again.

Donna looked after my dog Teddy so well. He adores her . I trust Donna fully with Teddy and his reaction to Donna when he sees her tells me all I need to know . Donna is trustworthy, dependent and has such a lovely manner around my dog. She was a lifeline when I couldn’t be there .

Samuel is an amazing petsitter! He did a great job caring for my cat over Thanksgiving break, and he went above and beyond what was asked of him. He was extremely thorough in providing visit reports and photos of my cat. I will absolutely plan to book with him again!

Ahmyah has a natural talent for taking care of dogs. She treats each one as if it were her own, adjusting to its unique needs to ensure they receive the proper care and attention they deserve. Ahmyah regularly takes the dogs outside to play, making sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. Her genuine love for dogs is evident in how she interacts with them. It's not uncommon for dogs to become so fond of Ahmyah that they almost love her more than they love their owners! With Ahmyah, you can be confident that your furry friend is in excellent hands. She is responsible, caring, and genuinely passionate about her work with dogs.

About: I trained both my dogs from puppies and love all dogs deeply. I am knowledgeable on leash walking. I grew up with dogs and have had my own two for the past 5 years :) I'm currently working part-time running my company so I have free time which I love to spend with dogs! My schedule is very flexible so I can play/walk them pretty much anytime of day. I love to go on walks with dogs. I like them to be good walkers on a leash and then also offer them some downtime in the grass to just be dogs and soak up the sun (or shade).

Rebecca is absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond and is always on time. She is so patient and kind with my two schnauzers (~17lbs and ~47lbs). I have a very hard time trusting anyone with my dogs but Rebecca made me feel so much at ease and I trust her completely. I am so thankful for Rebecca and have nothing but amazing things to say about her!

Leilani was very responsive to our request for a last minute cat sitter and communicative throughout the process and visits through the app. She provided our cat food (including mixing in medication) and litter maintenance and petting. The cat had no complaints when we got home. Highly recommend Leilani for your cats.
