Yee Ping is great! She made our dogs happy and comfortable right away. They loved spending time with her and playing fetch in the yard. She even tailored her visit schedule to make sure they got to go out at good times.

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.

II can’t recommend Julia enough! She took exceptional care of my husky, Luna, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and safe. Luna can be a handful at times, but Julia handled every situation with calm professionalism and adaptability. She always kept me informed about how things were going, which gave me total peace of mind. Knowing Luna was in such capable, caring hands made all the difference. I’m incredibly grateful for Julia’s outstanding service and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Luna anytime!

Kaden stayed with Cowboy for almost 10 days while we were home for Christmas, and I don't think our dog wanted us to come home by the end of it. They went on runs, played in the snow, Kaden took him skiing one day - he's the perfect rover for someone with an active/high energy pup like mine! He's clearly so comfortable with dogs, and even my sometimes-weary-of-men pup was in love with him right away. Highly recommend him for house sitting or drop ins/walks!

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!

Cameron is absolutely amazing. He took care of our 3 cats for a few days and did a great job. One of our cats is very difficult and poops on the floor instead of pooping in the litter, but he was great at cleaning, for which we were really grateful. He is very good at communicating and very reliable. We are very grateful we found him and we will use his services for sure in the future.

Nicole has been an amazing pet sitter for me for years. She does exactly what I ask and treats my dog Boomer like it was her own. She is punctual and responsible and I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter. You need her in your life if you have dogs!

We had a wonderful experience with Cora who watched our 2.5 year-old goldendoodle for 2 weeks while we were traveling. Our dog recently had knee surgery and we had to change the dog-sitting plans we had in place due to the limitations during her rehabilitation. We were worried about finding a pet sitter while our pup was still early in the recovery process, but luckily, we found Cora. She was completely comfortable with our dog's surgical recovery and physical therapy needs as she had prior experience with dogs recovering from surgery. Cora was very organized, kind, thoughtful, and gentle with our dog throughout their time together. She went absolutely above-and-beyond by taking her to physical therapy as well as doing daily exercises with her. We could not be more grateful since we returned home to a happy pup who was using her recovering leg! She kept us updated throughout our time away with pictures and videos of her progress. We also returned to a lovely, clean house. We would definitely recommend her house-sitting or walking services to others and plan to use Cora again in the future!

Donna was absolutely amazing. Her and Bruno got along so well and she did everything that I asked for him. She took him to parks and played with him for the whole duration of the check in and left him so happy and tired when she left. Definitely would trust her with Bruno again, and with any other dogs or cats out there in this world!

Maris has taken care of our dog, Panda, on multiple occasions and our dog loves her! Our dog has a tendency to be nervous when we leave but whenever Maris comes she gets very excited and happy and we know she is in good hands. Sometimes Panda won’t eat her food when we leave but we’ve never had that problem when Maris is with her. We can tell she truly loves dogs and she goes the extra mile to make sure our dog is well taken care of. We love her!

Jen has been taking care of dogs for at least 20 years. She has been always caring and nurturing towards her pets. One of the things that I appreciate the most is her constant vigilance. She will quickly notice issues with our dog. She will always give a 30 minute walk with our dogs every day so he doesn't get bored at home. Regardless if you need someone to care for your dog for a few hours or the whole day Jen is the right person to call.

About: I've always been very attached to dogs but I love all the animals small and big. I have a deep fascination for insects, reptiles and birds aswell. I'm usually flexible and have a big sized backyard at my current inlaw unit where dogs can walk around freely and be safe. I love to hike and take animal care very serious. I am certified in information and cloud security (by isc2) and live by security standards which includes privacy. I will listen to instructions of the owner and won't let my clients dogs off-leash without their agreement or my assessment (for example).

Alexis is extremely organized, thorough, and conscientious. She does an excellent job dealing with an anxious dog and cat, even making sure to check on the cat when he was hiding. The detailed notes and pictures gave us peace of mind that everyone was safe and in great hands. We will definitely use her services again in the future!

Alejandro is a very kind, patient and loving pet caregiver. We have two dogs who have lots of energy and they are always very happy to see him - they know they will have good walks and playtime when he is here. When they were puppies they were not always the best behaved dogs as they were still learning and Alejandro was always very patient with them. We highly recommend him.
