21. Hannah A.

“Hannah was great! I’m so glad we booked her as our catsitter. She was very communicative and flexible, adjusting to the change in dates for our trip. She made sure to visit the cats twice daily, at specific times so she could give our diabetic cat his insulin injections. She was comfortable giving the insulin injections and made sure to play with both cats each day. She also watered our plants and brought in our packages. And after every visit she provided a detailed report with lots of pictures. I loved knowing the cats were in good hands and I will definitely be hiring her again for any cat sitting needs we have in the future.”

“Jennifer has one of the most caring and gentle hearts I know! Aside from this innate quality of hers, on a professional level, she is reliable and extremely hardworking. Her love for animals also runs deep, as she has cared with patience and love for her own pets. This love and attention would carry over to any pet she is able to care for! I could not recommend Jennifer more!”

29. Zeiydah L.
About: Growing up with two dogs I have learned how to sufficiently care and love dogs, whether it is walking, feeding or even grooming I can do it all ! Im currently working part time, my schedule alternates which makes most available to provide pet care on my off-weeks.I work 3-11pm so morning walks work best for me. I have a quiet small home which is perfect for smaller dogs to stay out of trouble. There is a huge park at the end of my block which is perfect to meet and play with other dogs or just enjoy a nice walk.

She updated me frequently and sent me lots of pictures and videos! She was very attentive and interactive with Lemon and kept her on her normal schedule. I’d recommend her services any day because it’s evident how much she loves dogs just by how she interacts with and cares for them.”
