“Julie did an amazing job taking care of my two cats while I was away! She provided thoughtful updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind and took great care of them.”
“Laura was such an amazing cat sitter for my two kitties! I reached out super last minute and Laura was so understanding and accommodating to our needs. Laura communicated beautifully and I felt super comfortable leaving my kitties in her care. I will definitely be booking with Laura again!! :)”
“Krista did a great job taking care of our kitty, Claude! Claude doesn’t let just anyone pet him and play with him right away but apparently he thinks Krista is his new bestie because he walked right up to the door to greet her and demand pets every night! Our cat was very well cared for while we were away. 😊”
“Leticia & Seán did such a terrific job with our two fur babies. We got amazing pictures every day of our cats that were literally photography quality! It was so nice getting confirmation every day that they were happy and eating and doing their normal activities. These two are professionals!!”
“Austin is a dream walker! I got about 20 adorable pictures a day, all wallpaper and insta worthy ? He looked after my boisterous boy with enthusiasm, care and diligence. I cannot wait to plan my next vacation only so that newton and Austin can have more time together! ❤️ thank you so much, Austin!”
“Allegra has been great with Ozzie and very supportive of our schedule with helping out with his potty breaks, dinners and play times. Ozzie loves to see her every time she visits! Thank you again Allegra for looking after Ozzie 😁🙏🏼”
“Ann was a wonderful sitter for my cat! I needed someone on very short notice and I was so relieved when Ann responded to my request right away. I loved the daily updates and I appreciated that she respected the boundaries of my shy kitty. I will absolutely use her services again!”
“Azaria took such good care of my cat Neil! I could tell that she spent quality time with him and made sure he was happy each day. She went above and beyond with communication and even handled issues with building access with kindness and patience!”
“I am absolutely delighted with Margaret's visits to look after my kitty Allie! Since Allie is new in our house and is still a bit shy, I was afraid that she would hide every time that Margaret visited. I was so wrong! Margaret persuaded Allie to approach, get some petting and even play a bit. Margaret is a cat whisperer! :-) I was so happy to see that Allie has come out of her shell even more while Margaret was visiting. Margaret was super-organized with all the details of her visits, and I was so impressed with how she handled everything. In our initial meeting, she came prepared with a list of questions so she would be sure to learn everything she needed to know, and she took notes as we talked. She did a fantastic job of following all of my instructions, and even going beyond what I had asked. She cleaned all of the dishes and utensils, and rinsed out the cat food cans. Everything was super-tidy when we returned. Margaret even left a nice note for me, which I really appreciated. I would not hesitate to ask Margaret to look after my kitty again! Thank you SO much, Margaret!”
“Pamela was very responsive and friendly! She came over beforehand for a meet and greet. She also sent a nice summary and pictures each day. I would highly recommend her!”
“Megan was wonderful with our cat. She provided food and care, followed requested instructions, and was attentive to our cat's needs. Megan communicated with us everyday, providing details, and sharing photographs of our cat as well. She was kind to us and, more importantly, caring to our cat. We will easily suggest Megan's care to others and will be returning to her ourselves.”
About: With over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats from a young age, I provide attentive, loving, and safe care. I am skilled in managing pets with strong leash-pulling behaviors and handling various situations to ensure they remain calm, controlled, and away from danger such as harmful foods or chasing other animals. My priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of every pet under my care. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I have hands-on experience handling multiple breeds, from small Poodles to large Labradors and Bernedoodles, including dogs with strong pulling strength. As a Golden Retriever owner, I take my dog out multiple times a day for long walks and hikes, ensuring both physical exercise and mental stimulation. This routine has made me skilled at managing dogs of all sizes and energy levels. When caring for pets at my home, I create a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, regular walks, and consistent feeding schedules. I ensure they are comfortable, supervised, and get both exercise and affection throughout the day. At clients’ homes, I follow all provided instructions carefully—maintaining feeding times, walking routines, and any special care requirements. I respect their home and make sure pets feel comfortable in their own space while keeping them safe, engaged, and happy. If needed, I can provide video service to capture all the work I did since I completely understand how we as pet owners like to see what our best pet friend did with a new friend.
“Rose was able to stop by and check in on my dog even at a very last minute request! She did an amazing job taking care of my dog and had good communication with me. Definitely would book her again in the future!”
“Taryn did a fantastic job! I was so happy with the care she gave to my kitty. When I got home and saw the cleanliness of the kitchen and the food dishes, I was delighted! I'm looking forward to Taryn's help again the next time that I'm out of town. Thank you so much, Taryn! :^)”
“Iva and Edwardo were very efficient and timely in giving meds, feeding and tending to our older shy cat. By the end of their care she followed them in the house and rubbed on their legs when they arrived. This is the highest of complements from this cat many people never even see. We will definitely engage their help again if we travel.”

Moyu L.
“Moyu L. is one of the most caring and responsible people I know, especially with dogs. He’s raised his golden retriever Daisy since she was just 2 months old—taking her out every 3 hours, making nutritious meals, and training her with both voice and hand commands (even taking her to a training school!). His dog is incredibly well-behaved, which says a lot about Moyu’s patience and attention to detail. He’s also helped dog-sit for our friends’ dogs, from small breeds to large ones such as Bernedoodle, and always adapts to each dog’s unique needs with ease. Moyu is great at handling a wide variety of personalities—from calm and gentle pups to energetic, playful ones. Whether it’s special diets, routines, or just extra cuddles, Moyu handles it all with love and care. Anyone would be lucky to have him look after their pup!”
