“Cheryl was amazing! She arrived on time, my dogs loved her immediately, and she was organized and ready to help! We adore Cheryl and would definitely use her again!”

“Thank you, Ray. We appreciate you and will call upon you again. Ray is dependable and our dogs are well cared for under his supervision. Highly recommend!”

“Malcolmn did a terrific job taking care of our two big dogs in our home. He kept us well-informed about their activities and left the place super tidy. Highly recommend Malcolmn!”

“Mary was great! She kept everyone safe and cared for and prioritized walks for our greyhound who adores walks. The house was clean and how we had left it! It was such a relief to have her proactive communication throughout. Mary also managed to get our somewhat cranky older cat to consistently take her meds for the week we were gone. Would love to work with Mary again!”

“Aleia was fantastic with our pups and communicated regularly with updates. It was comforting to know they were in good hands while we were away.”

“Laetizia was so wonderful with our dog, Nile, while we were gone for our wedding weekend! It was so nice to have complete peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She was affectionate with him, took him for long walks, sent us plenty of updates and cute pics, and kept our house nice and clean. She was flexible and patient with both us and him as well :) will definitely book her again.”

“Heather is absolutely lovely and took such great care of our cat and our apartment, while we were away on holiday. She was very responsive and kept in touch every day with updates, photos and videos. She was also fantastic when we had some unforeseen maintenance issues come up in the apartment and handled everything so well - giving us no opportunity to stress about any of it! I cannot recommend her enough. We will definitely be working with her again, next time we're out of town.”

“Vesryn is great. She took care of our dog and bird while we were on vacation and stayed in our place. We got daily updates and photos and felt so taken care of. Will for sure book her more times for sure.”

About: I’ve grown up with many different types of pets, including cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, lizards, frogs, fish, bird, turtle, etc. and always had a connection with animals. In college I was a part of a student-run organization, training service dogs for people with mobility disabilities. I worked with dogs on basic skills and behaviors, along with more advanced and specific service commands. After college I fostered several dogs in my own home and also frequently dog-sat and cat-sat for friends, coworkers, and others by word of mouth. I was even asked to be a dog handler for 2 weddings. Overall I am a patient, knowledgeable, and caring animal lover that will give your fur-baby the love and care it needs while you are away. I’m currently working part-time and have a very flexible weekday schedule to give your pet the love and attention it deserves. On weekends I may have a plan or 2, but overall should be flexible to make pet care the main priority. I am flexible to care for your pet in their own home environment and will follow any specific instructions while being respectful of your home and belongings. I may be open to boarding or bringing your pet to my home if preferred, but I have a cat and would need to discuss temperament and proper pet introductions beforehand.
