1. Jennifer H.

“Jen and Louis saved the day and came through for me and my chiweenie Willar when I really needed a sitter who understands my senior pup's needs. Willar has dietary restrictions and some quirks, and Jen was attentive, followed all the instructions for Willar's routine, and she asked very thoughtful questions. Additionally, her dog Louis is so welcoming and sweet. They really helped with some transitions I'm going through and were very accommodating.”

“Kathryn was great with Jasper. He played with her dog and had a nice walk. Probably got a bit spoiled as well. Definitely will be using Kathryn again in the near future.”


3. Shayla C.

“Shayla is fantastic! My dog is a rescue and can be a little unpredictable around other dogs, but Shayla managed him beautifully. She sent great photos of my pup throughout the day, and he obviously had the time of his life while in her care. When we got home, he did some happy zoomies then fell fast asleep. Shayla took great care of him, and I’d use her again in a heartbeat.”

About: I’m well-versed in senior pet care, understanding their unique needs and ensuring they stay comfortable and engaged. I also prioritize building strong relationships with both pets and their owners, fostering trust and communication. My attention to detail, combined with a genuine love for animals, ensures that every pet receives the highest level of care tailored to their individual personality and need. I'm available for boarding pets, dog walks, pet sitting at your home, and can do check-ins at your home! I am available for the entire duration that I have your pet with me. In my apartment, I prioritize safety and comfort for pets by creating a secure environment. I ensure all windows and balconies are safely secured, and I keep hazardous items, like cleaning supplies and small objects, out of reach. For my clients, I follow similar principles. I conduct a thorough walk-through of their home to identify any potential hazards and make adjustments as needed. I also establish a routine that includes regular exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep pets happy and engaged. Building trust is crucial, so I communicate openly with pet owners about their pets’ needs and any concerns that arise. I make sure to maintain a clean and comfortable space, providing plenty of fresh water and a cozy spot for rest. Ultimately, my goal is to create a safe, loving environment where pets can thrive.
