“Raven took it slow with Molly on her first visit, gave Molly time to smell things out and wander around the house with her there. Within a short period of time, Molly was all kisses and cuddles with Raven, even got her out for a walk on the first visit. Raven is so patient and calm with hesitant/nervous dogs. She's a bit of a dog whisperer. Molly loves you Raven, looking forward to the next visit 😍”


About: I absolutely love spending time with dogs and making sure they get the exercise and affection they need while you're busy! From refreshing neighborhood walks to cozy backyard playtime and feeding, I make sure your pup's routine never misses a beat. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, and I have excellent availability throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits. I am reliable, punctual, and ready to help. I focus heavily on building a secure, stress-free experience for your pets. In your home, I ensure your pup or cat stays safely on their comfortable turf, following their exact feeding, potty, and exercise protocols. I am highly observant and proactive, ensuring that potential hazards are avoided during neighborhood walks and that your home is kept completely secure. Clear, honest communication and real-time photo updates are a standard part of how I build trust with every client.
“Madi was a pleasure to work with. I needed a last minute drop in sitter and she responded immediately after I sent my request. She came over for a meet and greet the day before to learn about my pup. I felt at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Madi even took several photos and sent a long message describing all she did with my pup. Definitely recommend using Madi for your pet needs 🤗”


“I’ve used Karly now three times as my cat-sitter while away to take care of my two cats, and just recently, for two weeks while out of the country. She’s great!! She makes sure my two babies are well taken care of - she’s gotten to know both of their personalities and tends to both of their needs (one’s playfulness and the other’s snuggles/pets)! She goes above and beyond and also considers me and the house while gone out of the country (by taking out the trash on trash day for example). She’s also a great communicator and I feel at ease trusting her to take care of both my cats and my home while away!”

“Tayla was amazing! She left detailed notes after each visit with tons of pictures. She was flexible, communicative, and quick to respond to any questions/concerns. My cat can be timid around strangers at times but went up to Tayla immediately. I’d be happy to book her again :)”

About: My specialty is small nervous dogs that require special care, but I also board/sit larger dogs. The important thing is I’ll follow your instructions precisely on how to care for YOUR dog, so when you’re reunited it’s like you never left! :) I work from home with a flexible schedule so I can prioritize your dog’s needs, whether they’re an early riser, require medication, regular exercise or anything else. I live down the street from a dog park. If you’re looking for house sitting I’m happy to do that as well, and will leave your place just as I found it!
“Matthew was amazing. He was so attentive to our doggo, diligently checking in and sending pictures of him for each visit. Matthew is super kind, and our boy seemed to have a great time during his visits. Would book Matthew again!”


“Our cat has had a lot of change recently with moving and being in a new house and has gone back in her shell a bit. But after a day with Briana, she was back in action! Cuddling and playing like they’d known each other a long time. I would absolutely recommend her! A true cat whisperer. Sends lovely updates and captures great pics!”

“Camille and Shayla were amazing with my cat, and are very lovely people. My cat is very shy towards new people, and they respected his boundaries. He came out of his shell after a few days of them stopping by. I appreciated their detailed reports.”

“We hired Jasper & Jaydon for house sitting as well as drop in visits for our pup and two cats. They were communicative, timely, respectful, and had quick response time. They sent photos and updates frequently, which brought great comfort to me. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable pet care. We hope to have them be our sitter for a long time coming!”

“Sam did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town for a long trip and I came back to them in great spirits! Sam was attentive to their unique needs and personalities which gave me confidence they would be well cared for while I was gone. I would definitely book with Sam again!”
“Christopher was absolutely amazing! He played with our boy and sent us lots of pictures. He will be my first choice going forward! I cannot more highly recommend this guy!”

“Angela is the best! Our puppy is super scared of people. Angela’s patience and gentleness has helped so much in fostering trust with people outside of our household!”

“Charlie is very kind and was super attentive to my cats and their needs! You can automatically tell he really loves animals and wants to give them the best care possible. He will be my go-to cat sitter from here on out! :)”

“Kai was great with communication and understood the needs of my pup immediately! They were able to help with a short notice request and went above my expectations!”

“Jessica was such an incredible pet sitter! I have a lot of anxieties about leaving our kittens, but Jessica kept us updated with paragraph descriptions of what they did together each day and how the kitties were, plus 12-16 photos each visit. She also went above and beyond by setting up enrichment opportunities to keep them entertained in between visits. She kept their food, water, and litter clean and filled, and even cleaned up some ants for us that had discovered the cat food. Her love for animals and the care she put towards our cats was palpable. We will definitely be repeat clients :)”

Gera was a balm to my anxious heart. I got a hold of them to watch after my older IBD kitty pretty last minute. I received photos, updates every visit, trial med runs before I left town to make sure everyone involved was informed and comfortable, they told me my girly might be experiencing whisker fatigue based on how she was eating so that just shows how much attention to detail and care was put in. Clem isn't very shy but she warmed up to Gera effortlessly and it sure made me feel like she was in great hands.

Jenelle was absolutely amazing with my 19 year old kitty. She requires daily meds and Jenelle handle that very well. I loved all the pictures and the check ins. Janelle was also flexible with her schedule when I wanted to add an extra hour for more snuggle time for my elderly kitty. I would highly recommend Jenelle and would not hesitate to book her again this Summer!

I cannot recommend Wendy enough! She took care of our anxious dog during our vacation and went above and beyond to give him the love we needed while we were gone. She administered multiple medications, engaged with him in play, and provided many photos which let us rest easy that he was in good hands. Will certainly rebook again! Thank you!

Excellent care! Olivia communicated really well and was easy to coordinate with even with a big time difference. This was the longest I've ever been away from my cat but she took good care of him and was sensitive to his needs like knowing when he wanted to play, be brushed, just cuddle etc. She also helped take care of an ant issue that came up. Highly recommend!

Emma was really amazing! 10/10! Super responsive, attentive and gave me a piece of mind that Ruben and Raisin were in great hands. Appreciate the constant updates and taking care of the pups and my home while I was gone. Especially Raisin while he is going through a leg issue and needed meds and special care. Thank you so much can't wait to have you watch them again.

Ellen did a great job of taking care of my cat Apple for an extended period of time. She has excellent communication, is thoughtful, generous, and very skilled at training Apple to do tricks! I have booked Ellen in the past, and would gladly book her again. Highly recommended!

Jason was so incredible with my four month old puppy with medical issues. He quickly came over for an initial greet. He was on time for every walk twice a day. He was active the whole time and didn’t sit around like many other walkers may. He was attentive to instructions and went so far as to clean my dog every time he went outside. He was safe, kind, and clearly loves animals. I will be requesting him again for all my dog walking/sitting/boarding needs. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Charles is the best cat sitter we've ever had! Our cat has completely adopted him, and it is clear that he is passionate about felines. Charles is also a great communicator. We always looked forward to his messages and beautiful photos of our furry friend!
