Deanna was nothing short of amazing. She took care of our pups while we were on family vacation and didn’t miss a beat. She sent constant pictures and videos and it was so nice to see updates about them while we were away.

Stephanie was an amazing sitter! She was so communicative, sent tons of photos and absolutely loved on our boys like they were her own. She took them on walks and played with them inside/outside. And I definitely trusted her in our home. We will 100% be booking with Stephanie in the future if she is available!

Des is always there when I need her - extremely loving and professional. Onyx trusts her so much and he’s always happy with her! I never have to worry about leaving my boy in her care. She will always be my go-to. If you’re looking for a sitter for your fur baby, she is definitely the one. Thank you Des 💗

Chloe exudes trustworthiness and competence. She's lovely to interact with, communicative every step of the way, and without a doubt one of the best pet sitters we've ever had. We could not be more grateful for Chloe and her expert handling of a worst-case scenario with our pet, Tulip. Our kitty Tulip had a life-threatening medical event while we were away, and we were so thankful that it was Chloe looking after her. At the first warning sign of Tulip's condition worsening, Chloe contacted us immediately and was prepared to use her good judgment to take her to the vet. She did end up having to take her in, and stayed up through the night keeping us informed with updates, all while balancing the care of our other cat, Lily. Chloe stayed calm and collected and was a source of reassurance throughout this pet parent's worst nightmare. Our sweet Tulip came out the other side okay, thanks to Chloe's quick thinking, her skill working with animals, and her excellent communication. Disaster was averted, and we can't thank her enough for it. If you're looking for someone to trust with your pet, it's Chloe.

Dani took care of our 2 french bulldogs and elderly cat in our home for over a week while we traveled to Europe. Having already used her services we knew we had nothing to worry about and we highly enjoyed our trip. We returned to very healthy and happy fur babies and a very well kept house. Dani is 100% prepared, dependable and conscientious and the best house/pet sitter we have ever had by far. Highly, highly recommend!

Jasmeen is amazing and I strongly recommend! Was able to help me out last minute which is alway nice. She still made time to meet up beforehand and was super communicative everyday of watching Cody. My dog is also pretty shy/anxious, but he warmed up very quickly to her and I don’t doubt that wasn’t partly due to the way she was able to meet him where he was at and not rush him during the initial meeting. Again, she was such a great sitter!

We’ve used Ellie as our pet sitter before, and we couldn’t be happier! Maggie is always so excited to see her and loves snuggling up with her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that when we’re away on vacation, Maggie is happy, loved, and in such good hands. She’s also incredibly respectful of our home and always leaves everything just as clean and tidy as we left it. It’s such a relief to be able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about Maggie or our house. We definitely recommend her and will absolutely continue using her!

My two girls loved Victoria!!! Every day she took them on walks, and gave them their every daily essentials. She would send us pictures numerous times during the day with her daily interactions that made us feel reassured that they were being well taken care of. She’s a sweet and nurturing person that you know that your fur babies are being well taken care of. The house was very clean and the girls were well picked up after.

Jayla is a fantastic dog sitter! We had to leave our pup for close to 2 weeks and Jayla took good care of him and made sure he was happy and cozy while we were away! She sent us pictures of him every day and did an amazing job maintaining his routine. We're so grateful for her excellent care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive, responsive, and caring pet sitter!

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years and I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise and care! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week for dog walking and drop-in visits. I’m available during mornings, afternoons, and evenings and can often accommodate last minute requests I’ve always loved dogs and truly believe they’re a man’s best friend! I’ve volunteered with local animal shelters for about 6 years, so I’ve gotten experience being around dogs with all different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable caring for them, walking them, playing with them, and most importantly making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m currently an online college student working toward my bachelor’s degree in business, which I’m on track to finish in about a year. Since my classes and schoolwork only take up around an hour of my day, I have very open availability and plenty of time to give your pets my full attention. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with different schedules. When I’m walking a dog, their safety is my biggest priority. I keep dogs properly leashed and pay attention to our surroundings at all times. I also stay off my phone during walks because I want my attention to be on your dog, not a screen. I watch for other dogs, cars, people, or anything else around us that could become a safety concern. Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, playing with them, feeding them, or just keeping them company, I want them to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I know pets are family and I would treat someone else’s dog with the same patience, attention, and care that I would want for my own.

About: What started as pet sitting for friends has grown into a genuine commitment to animal care - over the past year I’ve fostered 6 kittens, managing everything from vet coordination to medications, and placed each one in a permanent home. I take the responsibility seriously: consistent communication, attention to routine, and no surprises. Lifelong animal lover who’s just happy to be around your pet🐶🐱❤️ Because I work from home, I’m able to check in on pets throughout the day - a quick visit, feeding, or playtime is never an inconvenience. I’m available most days and can be flexible to fit your schedule, with the exception of Tuesdays. I treat a client’s home with the same respect as my own - leaving things exactly as I found them and keeping to whatever routines the pet is already used to. I’ll always communicate if something seems off, whether that’s a change in appetite, behavior, or anything else worth flagging.

Heather was exceptional. She took wonderful care of our pets and our home, and we came back to find everything in order. She checked in several times a day with updates and photos, which we appreciated so much. And the photos were incredible—she got better pictures of our pets in five days than I’ve managed to take in all the years we’ve had them! We’re grateful for the care and attention she gave them. We’ve already booked Heather for our next trip and would highly recommend her.

Sarah was amazing! She kept me updated with txts and pictures of our pups and made it stress-free for me during my vacation. She followed our directions and the dogs absolutely love her! I know it can be a lot to care for 3 dogs at once but she had no hesitation to take on the task and did so with such professionalism.

Lauren did a great job. She was super attentive to all of our animals and they loved her. Moving forward we can’t imagine using anyone else ever again. Usually when we come home our dogs are restless, this time around it was the exact opposite. She took them out on schedule and played with all of them regularly to keep them stimulated. If you need a sitter who truly loves animals, book Lauren, you won’t regret it.

Shirav took care of my cat for a week, and I really loved her help! She made an effort to find the right approach to my cat, and she absolutely succeeded. I’m sure my cat was happy while I was away. She also sent me lots of photos and videos, which was very reassuring and helpful. I would definitely recommend Shirav as a cat sitter, and I’ll definitely book her again in the future!
