“Thank you so much Nicole, you were great with our senior puppies. I can tell they enjoyed the walks and I'm glad you were able to handle them, knowing they can be a little rowdy. I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family. We'll for sure be using your services again, if you have us.”

“Danni is an excellent cat sitter! I was so impressed by her diligent care for my kitties. She always sent detailed updates and lots of pictures. My babies were happy to have her company because she gave them lots of love and play time. I was especially relieved to find someone who could be a reliable and trustworthy sitter for my diabetic cat. I can't recommend her enough!”

“Sophia is so wonderful! She is professional, kind, and was very attentive with my puppy. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for quality pet care!”

“AJ took such good care of my kitty while I was out of town for the holidays. On top of all the necessary care, he gave plenty of cuddles & extra play time. His sincere messages & photos gave me peace of mind while on vacation. I will definitely be hiring him again!”

“Emma was incredible. Emma was able to do a drop in SUPER last minute - got to my house incredibly fast and did an amazing job! Highly highly recommend and we will be using Emma in the future!!”

“Alina is reliable and she is great with Pablo. She treats him like family and cares for him exceptionally. She communicates promptly and openly. She’s a trusted sitter and someone I know I can count on to care for my baby.”

“Good communication, kept track of her bathroom breaks and even let her play for a little in our community dog park to get energy out. She helped care for my dog even when it was such a last minute request!”


“Very polite and understanding of pets needs. From the meet and greet to actual sitting, my Dog got a big and he was more than understanding in his new diet. Always giving updates and feedback on his walks. Highly recommend.”

About: I have been taking care of animals, mainly dogs, since I was 11 years old. I have always loved looking after pets, whether it be my family or friends, or the neighbor across the street and I will love taking care of yours as well. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I can easily check on your pets and make sure they are happy and healthy whenever needed. My pets' daily routines are a part of my own daily routine. I will make sure your pets are taken care of as if they were my own. I will make sure that they are happy and cared for and exercised as needed.

“Marcus was great! He does great with teddy who can be a handful, is always communicative and sends lots of pictures and videos. He was even able to accommodate my last minute trip for the holiday with no problem! Have booked him before and will definitely be booking him again!”

About: “I have experience pet sitting for friends and family, along with personally raising multiple dogs over the years. I’m familiar with daily care routines like feeding, walking, cleaning up, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also cared for small animals, including a hamster, so I understand the importance of gentle handling and attention to detail. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get plenty of love, patience, and care.” “I have a pretty open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, keep up with their routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and not alone. I’m also home in the evenings, so they’ll have consistent care throughout the day and night.” In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I have a large indoor area where pets can move around freely and comfortably, as well as a spacious back patio for supervised outdoor time. Pets will have access to regular potty breaks and exercise throughout the day, and there is a nearby dog park and walking trail for additional outdoor activity when appropriate. I provide cozy bedding, toys for enrichment, and treats (with owner approval). I also make sure pets stay on their normal feeding routine and follow any specific instructions given by the owner, including dietary needs or restrictions. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine closely to help pets feel safe and maintain consistency in their environment. My priority is always to ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Bianca went above and beyond had two trips back to back and one last minute and she said yes without hesitation. Communicative, attentive with my fur baby. Very recommended. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Bethany is great to work with! She was very attentive to our animals needs and seemed to get along really well with them! We’d love to have her as a sitter in the future.”

About: I always make sure the dogs feel loved whether it’s playing with them outside, taking them for walks, or just cuddling with them. I’ve always loved dogs and I will always make sure they’re safe. I am a college student so I do have classes but for most weekends I am free and I do have days off of classes. I always show them love with cuddles, I will play with them with their toys, take them for long walks, make sure they’re fed, give them treats if they’re being good or did tricks.

“Absolutely amazing! Natalie did more than asked and followed instructions perfectly. She was very communitive while I was away for a whole week. She played with kitties and they loved her!! Recommend.”

Tina went above and beyond to take care of our cat. She takes great photos and very detailed notes, making sure to address every single care instruction that we gave her. She was accommodating when I had to add a couple extra feeding instructions at the last minute, and responded to all messages promptly. Certainly made my gf and I less stressed, would 100% recommend.

Sophia has cat sat for me twice now, and she’s been wonderful both times. She is very communicative, attentive, and clearly cares a lot about the animals she watches. She took great care of my cats, followed their specific food needs carefully, and made sure to spend time playing with them as well. I always felt updated and reassured while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!
