2. Erika F.

“We had a great time working with Erika. I really appreciated that she came by beforehand to meet the cats. It was easy to keep in contact with her while we were away. She sent pictures of the cats with every drop-in visit and she was able to help troubleshoot issues with a cat feeder. We would book with Erika again and recommend her to others.”

14. Sophia E.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I’m a loving caretaker that loves all animals. Currently I have an Old English Sheepdog named Pickles and a Maine Coon named Henryatta. I always try to bring my dog everywhere I go like to the beach, car rides, walks. Also my dog has his own instagram account too lol. I am a part time retail sales associate. My work schedule changes every week. I’m almost always available on a weekday and rarely on weekends. I have a spacious backyard for my dog to run around and play in. Also have lots of toys to keep my dog entertained and happy.


15. Meredith M.
“Meredith is a true animal lover. She cares for the health of dogs by making sure they get plenty of exercise, are properly fed, and always have fresh water. She always is kind to animals and never gets cross with the dogs. Most important is that she genuinely enjoys the company of animals. She always shows them love and tenderness. Meredith is the ideal person to care for your pet when you are not able to.”


16. Amanda R.
“Great person, loves all types of pets. Has a big heart and will care for your furry loved ones as if they were one of her own. She follows direction given regarding each pet and takes great care of your home. What is also great is that she also will work with your pet with basic training if you like. Again, great and loving person who I rely on to watch my pets when I am away.”




17. Minhhan L.

“Minhhan is amazing! Experienced, kind and responsible, I've been working w/ Minhhan b/c I needed a dog walker for one of my dogs, Bow, who I endearingly describe as "special needs" (b/c she is afraid of strangers and is really skittish..) for an upcoming trip I just got back from. Minhhan had been coming over and "getting to know" Bow for the past few wks preceding the trip and was so patient w/ Bow, slowly developing a bond w/ her. I went away having complete trust in Minhhan to walk, feed and check on Bow and everything went just great. So happy! Thank you, Minhhan!”


18. Hannah A.

“Hannah was an awesome sitter for my Freddie. I always got a good report on their time together and cute picks. I can tell him and my home were well cared for while I was away!”


19. Ellen S.

“Ellen is the best, I couldn’t recommend her more highly. We were able to book her to drop in on my pet at the very last minute as I had forgotten to book care for him ahead of a trip. She was so flexible and Paddy immediately took to her. She sent us lots of photos and updates, which really put our minds at ease while we were out of town!”


20. Diyma M.
“Having a doodle with anxiety issues is NOT for the weak. This has always made looking for a dog sitter or a dog walker very stressful. However, when I stumbled upon Paola by happenstance, I knew she had what it took to be our consistent dog walker. Paola is patient, responsible, and kind - AND she knows how to deal with our crazy doodle. She gives him space, lets him come to her, and allows him to be who he is without pushing for more. If you want a dog walker who will make your dog feel comfortable, loved, and cared for, then Paola is your girl. In the words of one Ms. Meredith Grey, pick her, choose her, love her.”
