“Hannah was so great with our pups! We were so lucky she was able to come through on such short notice! Gave great updates and the boys were very happy and tuckered out when we got home!”
“Qinyun was wonderful—pleasant, attentive, and very respectful of both my cat and my home. She checked in on Maxine for two weeks, wrote thoughtful Rover cards, and interacted so well with her. I’m truly grateful for her care and will definitely book again and recommend her to others!”
About: I've had experience taking care of a variety of breeds, including mixes like a Shepsky, and pure breds like Golden Retrievers and Shar Pies. These experiences also inlcuded a rescue dog that was heart worm positive that required medication and extra care, as well as a blind senior dog that required an intensive special diet and medication schedule. At the moment I have a wide variety of availability and being in between jobs I would like to take more time for things I enjoy, such as being around and caring for animals. I previously held a job working for a law enforcement agency and have worked in positions of public trust in the past, so I have passed a very complete background check as well as mutiple reference checks. I will have the utmost respect for your pet and home.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets as well as neighbors and friends pets for a good while now, I can also give insulin to diabetic pets I’m currently about to be a student attending community college but right now I have nothing to do so I’m available all day every day. I can feed pets at specific times or refill food and water, I can also clean up after pets and take dogs on walks if desired

“Abigail is so lovely! Her heart is so big, and she shows it through puppy love! My Freya love Abigail, and we can’t wait to have her back.

About: I’ve had a dog my entire life and love training and caring for them. I have a rescue who loves all other dogs and people. He also has separation anxiety so I’m used to making my life very dog friendly. I have a high energy Terrier mix, so taking care of an additional dog would fit perfectly into my week. We take walks every 6 hours and would love to take more walks during the day. We also like to do training in the town square to get used to outside distractions. I live in an apartment and have a set walk scheduled for my pet to ensure timely potty breaks. Enzo has intense separation anxiety so he’s not left alone with other pets.
About: I've been lucky enough to have Pancake for 9 years of my life. Pancake gets treated like a queen and I promise you your dog is in loving hands when they are with me. Honestly, I just want to walk around more so why not do it with a friend that is equally excited to be out of the house. I'm flexibly free but would prefer the weekends or afternoons. I do have a full time job but my hours are flexible and change week by week. I'm super responsible and have years of experience as a nanny, I've pet sat before - being trusted with 6 young children, having a little dog of my own that is the world to me, it's safe to say your pets are in good hands.

Nina and Leo took care of our cats for 4 weeks while we were traveling and did a great job! They flagged and helped us fix any small issues that arose (e.g. running out of food). It was calming to know our cats were in such capable hands as we traveled!
Morgan took exceptional care of my two cats! She’s reliable, responsive, and very kind. I felt totally at peace being away from my babies, I’ve actually already booked Morgan again! She’s fantastic, and I’m so glad to have found her.
Anna always takes great care of our kitties when we are out of town. So great to have someone we can count on!
Yuzki took excellent care of our dog and maintained exemplary communication with us throughout. She is well experienced and not phased by tricky situations our goofy dog caused. Thank you, Yuzki!
Mariana was great. She went above and beyond by doing extra cleaning and vacuuming. Looking forward to booking her again!
Thank you for all your support while I was away. Your care for Lola went above and beyond my expectations and it gave me enormous peace of mind knowing she was in good hands :)
Kylie is extremely professional, timely, and communicative. She went the extra mile for my pet and gave me clear updates and pictures. Highly recommend her!
Xicheng was so excellent with our two kitties! They do not like most people (lol) but were very comfortable with her. She was timely, reliable, and communicative. Will definitely be hiring her again.
Paula cared for our kitty like she was her own. She has a special way with cats as our normally somewhat shy kitty let her pet and hold her. Our home was also in perfect shape when we returned from our trip and we appreciated this too. We highly recommend Paula and thank her again for everything.
Valentina is awesome! She is incredibly reliable and great to my cat while I am out of town (which is way too frequently)!
Our kitty was in a great mood despite spending a week alone thanks to Tiffany's wonderful care and attention. She's always super responsive, professional, and friendly. I highly recommend Tiffany as a sitter!
Saturday was amazing! She communicated well and has a cat of her own, so she was very intuitive with Tessie and that helped a lot, especially since Tessie comes with a large instruction manual. She was very nice and took our trash out, collected packages, and gave us so much peace on our trip!
Criss took amazing care of our kitties. She was very kind, flexible and super easy to communicate with. One of our kitties got an ear infection the day before our trip and Criss was happy to give his medicine while we were away. It was a relief knowing our kitties were in good hands! Highly recommend Criss to take care of your pets and will ask her to help with ours again.
Hannah dropped in for our 7 month golden retriever puppy today and she was great! We're training our dog to eventually be a service dog so we have a lot of requests and Hannah took them really well and was happy to help us reinforce good behavior on the walks. Would highly recommend booking with her!
Thanks so much Ella for watching, walking and feeding Piper! And thanks so much for taking the time to meet Piper the day before.
Another great job from Heidi. The cats were happy and relaxed when we got home, and she is very easy to communicate with.
Loren is so sweet with our cat! She always leaves us great updates that are often hilarious to read and leave us in a good mood when we’re on vacation. She’s super reliable and we’ve booked her multiple times for cat visits!
Dawn did a wonderful job with my hyper Golden Retriever! She also took in our packages and filled up my water fountain. She goes above and beyond and I would highly recommend her. 10/10
