“I wholeheartedly recommend Elizaveta as a responsible and caring pet caregiver. She cat-sat for me recently, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a deep love for animals and understands their needs. She took excellent care of my cat, ensuring he had plenty of attention, playtime, and proper feeding. She also kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Elizaveta is reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about the well-being of pets. I felt completely at ease knowing she was looking after my furry friend, and I would absolutely trust her again in the future!”

12. Natasha R.
“I can't recommend Natasha enough! She recently took care of my dog Ellie while I was away, and I was blown away by her exceptional service and genuine love for animals. From the initial meet-and-greet to the final goodbye, Natasha was professional, reliable, and attentive to Ellie's every need. She took the time to learn about her personality, habits, and quirks, and made sure she felt comfortable and secure in her care. While I was away, she sent me regular updates and photos of Ellie, which put my mind at ease and made me feel like I was still connected to her. She even went above and beyond to accommodate my special requests and made sure Ellie got all the exercise and playtime she needed. What really impressed me, though, was the love and affection she showed Ellie. She treated her like her own, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about her well-being and happiness. I've never felt so confident leaving Ellie in someone else's care, and I would trust Natasha with her again in a heartbeat. If you're looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and animal-loving pet sitter, look no further than Natasha.”

17. Ekundayo O.
About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 20 years, ranging from the typical fish, cat, and beloved Murphy, to include even a pet iguana (or two). 🥰 I have a fenced yard where both Murphy and your furry loved one can play and hang out. For overnight stays I have a large adult dog kennel that can accommodate a Mastiff just as comfortably as it can my Min Pin (who believes he’s the size of a Mastiff). 😄 I have an older dog with lots of energy and plays well with other dogs. I am an active person, so neighborhood walking is available for dogs with proper training. I can also provide some minor training reinforcement for puppies or young dogs learning new skills and/or tricks. 🐾 Tips are APPRECIATED!!! 🐾 I work from home! 🙌🏾 So my schedule is flexible and allows me to be able to work with and respond to clients in a timely manner. My home is fenced. All pets remain on the property unless they are taken for walks. I also will let clients know about overlaps in booking wih animals.
