Abby, was so great with our Sailor. She has a friendly, confident and warm way with dogs! Sailor loved her right away when they met. I could tell how excellent her caregiving was as he did all his routines great with her-- a walk, bedtime routine, ate his meals, was calm and great when we got home. He is used to us being around and I hadn't left him for an overnight for some years, so it is all the more impressive that he adjusted so quickly to Abby. Also, we loved getting the detailed updates and pictures! We are so happy we were able to have Abby help us for these couple of days and know Sailor will want to have her back! Thanks for taking care with all our little notes about things, Abby! Hope we can have you back soon!

About: I have a deep love for animals especially since I have a 10 year old schnauzer back home in Florida who I miss every day. Being around pets again brings me joy and comfort, and I always strive to give that same feeling back to the animals I care for. I treat every dog like my own; with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I also genuinely enjoy walking outdoors, so your pup will always get the exercise and fresh air they deserve. Whether it’s energetic playtime or gentle care for seniors, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I love going on walks every day, especially in the spring/ summertime. So taking dogs along just makes those moments even better. Since I work as a competitive gymnastics coach in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are wide open for drop-ins, walks, and quality time with pets. It’s the perfect balance of movement, fresh air, and furry companionship! Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or dropping in for a visit, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to bond with each pet through play, cuddles, or just calm companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, always making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away.

Riley was amazing! Our dog is old, has movement issues, and needs medication. She was so great with him! She gave wonderful updates, consistently, about our dog and cat. She sent pictures daily and was super responsive! She was absolutely great to work with, easy to communicate with, and made our vacation so relaxing because we knew our pets were taken care of so well, while we were away! Highly recommend her!

Danielle is awesome. We have four dogs, three of them on the bigger side, and one has to wear a belly band due to marking in the house. She’s awesome about getting it off him before going out to potty and putting a new one on. It’s an odd task, but she handles it with ease! She does weekly visits for us and is great with the pups. Trustworthy and thorough - we highly recommend her!

About: I have been a student athlete for 10 plus years, and i always took care of other team members animals when they went on away trips. I finished my college career and now have more time to take care of animals more seriously. i have classes mid day, but i will be available in the mornings and late afternoon into the night time. I have time in between classes as well which gives me a lot of time to provide good care. I do stay in an apartment but there is lots of space outside, and i have a car so I have access to dog areas. In others homes, I am respect of their belongings. I get in, do my job, and head on home.

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!

Maddie also made sure to reach out with a few questions as they came up, which I really appreciated since it showed a genuine desire to give my pets amazing care. I definitely plan on rebooking with Maddie!
