Disha was absolutely incredible! My wife and I were away for 10 days, and she took amazing care of our cat, Little John, who is truly our pride and joy. She stopped by every day, provided great updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Disha is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!

Rachel was a great help when I had to spontaneously leave town for a family thing. She was quick to respond and understanding of the fact that we couldn't meet in person! She took good care of my kitties while I was away. I definitely recommend you work with her if you ever need pet-caring help!

About: I’ve had cats and dogs all my life. I’ve baby sat for mostly dogs. My cat takes insulin twice a day so can give your pet medication. I have a 2010 jeep compass so I can fit a small to large dog in my car if you want me to take your dog to a park. I work full time in downtown but I have control of my own schedule so I’m pretty much available for any shift. I work full time in downtown but I control my own work schedule. I’m available whenever. I already get up really early on a regular based. I have about 5 years experience, checking in on pets feeding, walking and giving medication.

About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs since high school and have grown up with cats! I love animals of all kinds and getting to know them. Most days I work from home so I will be there with your pet most of the day. I don’t have any other pets. I live in an apartment building with many green areas surrounding it and a fenced in dog area. It is a great space for dogs and there are other dogs that live in the building.

Madison took care of my Jellybean the way I would. Each and every walk and drop in had video and pics that showed a happy dog who was having a great time. My dog is extremely sensitive and intuitive and he took to Madison right away. I would recommend Madison for drop ins, walks or any other service with your pets. She will be my go to from now on!

This is our second time having Ashely sit for us. She has been excellent both times. She is respectful of our home, listens to our asks, and is great with communication. She keeps us updated with pictures through the app which is greatly appreciated and both our dog and cat enjoy her company. Overall, a very good experience, and I highly recommend her!

Jackie was great with our pups! We’ve recently had a mobility issue with our one dog but she was understanding and was able to provide her medicine without any issues. She took our other pup out for a little walk each time in addition to taking them both outside for breaks. I could easily see how much fun our pups had with Jackie in the photos that she sent over!
