“Eva is an excellent dog sitter! She provided me with detailed reports and a lot of pictures while I was away on vacation. She took good care of my 2 fur babies and also took care of my plants. I appreciate the detailed report and could tell that she cared for Mikey and Pixie too. I am so glad I chose her to take care of them and I highly recommend her!”

“Nicolas (Cole) was great to communicate with. He gave detailed feedback on how our dogs were doing while we were home. He took the initiative to find our cat and made sure he got attention too ! Coke’s puts his heart in his work with the pets. We will gladly request to have him return.”

“Thank you so much, Olga, for taking amazing care of my cats. Olga stepped in to help during a last minute booking and was incredibly accommodating. She worked with my schedule and allowed me to submit additional bookings as needed.”
“Hannah was wonderful with my two cats. It was the first time I left them longer than a few days, and Hannah took wonderful care of them. They really liked her, even my shy anxious cat that doesn't like most people enjoyed her visits. She kept me well updated and I enjoyed the photos while I was away. Thank you Hannah for the excellent care and attention you provided. My girls loved you coming over to play with them!”

We have a reactive dog, and he's been great with taking her for walks and managing her energy and needs safely. We can tell that she is very comfortable with him, and would recommend Micheal to anyone with a furry friend! :)”
“Alexis was wonderful with my dog and cat. She met them a week before. My dog instantly got along with her. Alexis has a very kind and caring aura to her that my pets picked up on and were comfortable with her right away. My husband and I will be reaching out to her for any future trips.”

About: My name is Erica and I am an enthusiastic and dedicated caretaker for your pets and plants! I have been a babysitter since I was 14 years old, and have extended my services to petsitting in the last year. I have experience in taking care of small to medium sized dogs, young and old, for family and friends as needed in the past and want to extend my dog sitting care to my community. I am happy to housesit as well as walk, feed, and care for your pets, and most importantly, foster a safe and happy environment for them. I can't wait to meet your beloved companions and befriend them too. I am available for evening petsitting or walks after 5pm on weekdays, and all day on Saturday and Sunday, overnights on weekends only. I can accommodate for your schedule if needed. I have reliable transportation to your home and will be respectful of your living space and your pet's routine. I am happy to give your dog a walk, take them out for breaks, feed, and/or entertain them as needed.
About: Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always had an animal around the house. Whether it was my parents cats, my family dogs, or my grandparents fosters, there has always been an animal in my household! I love entertaining them and playing with them, and I do my best to make sure they feel loved and safe in their spaces! I am a college student who works as a substitute teacher, so weekends are the main time I can provide your pet with the best service possible! But, if you communicate ahead of time and are nearby, I’m sure we can figure out a time for me to drop in, or the chance of me staying overnight to care for your pet! When coming into your home, I want to make sure that I am the best guest possible. Not only do I want your pet to be comfortable with me in their space, but I want you to feel comfortable with me caring for them. Give me the ground rules, the entire run down, and I will put my best foot forward to show you I’m somebody you can trust.

Ellen did an amazing job caring for my two senior cats. She administered meds and one cat that never comes out of hiding for any other pet sitter warmed up to Ellen and quickly learned to trust her. I loved receiving all the updates and loads of pictures twice a day. She even stayed extra time to ensure the shy cat ate all her food. I highly recommend Ellen, she’s a god-send. I will definitely trust her with watching my cats again.
Razan did a great job during her drop-in visit with Raven and Roman. She was attentive, reliable, and made sure both cats were well cared for while I was at work. Raven, who can sometimes be cautious with new people, was comfortable with her, and Roman received plenty of attention and playtime. I appreciated the updates and photos, and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would happily book Razan again.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of my puppy during the drop-in visit! I really appreciated the updates and photos, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my puppy was in good hands. My puppy seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I got back. I would definitely recommend you and look forward to booking with you again!”
Nicolas (Cole) was great to communicate with. He gave detailed feedback on how our dogs were doing while we were home. He took the initiative to find our cat and made sure he got attention too ! Coke’s puts his heart in his work with the pets. We will gladly request to have him return.
Taylor is an excellent sitter. She watched our dog and cat two days in a row. She was on time, followed direction, and was easy to communicate with. Plus both out animals liked her! We would highly recommend Taylor and will definitely be booking with her again.
Kexin was great! Very responsive and caring to my cat Theo while we were away on an extended trip. She sent the cutest photos of my pet during her visit and I could tell he was very comfortable with her. Kexin was also very punctual and communicative throughout the whole process. I would definitely use her services again!
