“Professional, responsible, a great communicator and I felt safe having Hayden care for our cat Fern. Will definitely retain her again. Thank you Hayden!”
“Nicole did great! She helped us out by being available last minute - after our original pet care fell through. Tim (our yellow lab) really seemed to love and have fun with her :) She was great at communicating and reaching out when she had questions. I loved all the pictures she sent. Would book again!”
“Sonia did a great job making sure my cat had food and water at her usual times! My cat is very shy and likes to hide. Sonia made sure Phyllis was OK by taking pictures of Phyllis in her favorite spot. Gave me peace of mind that my cat was healthy and doing fine while I was away.”
“Sierra is a fantastic pet sitter! She does a great job at taking care of my cat when I'm gone and I completely trust her. I can't recommend Sierra enough :)”
“Sofia is so kind! Our dog is pretty nervous having someone come into the home, and she’s been super patient. She even came by when we were home to have another introduction while we were around to see if it would make him more comfortable!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Sarah! Communication was excellent from start to finish. I really appreciated the regular photos and detailed updates after each walk-it gave me peace of mind. Cali looked so happy in all the pictures! I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”
“Maja was so sweet to come meet the pups on her own time and they immediately loved her. She learned their quirks easily and corrected unwanted behaviors like excited jumping well! I came home to some very happy pups! Thank you!”
“I am very thankful we found Bev to care for our cat Cote. Cote is a tamed feral cat and a long haired domestic. She is timid and slow to warm up to newcomers and adding to the quandary Cote is a perfect Primadonna. About 2 hours after we left Bev went over to check on Cote and sent a picture of Cote's surprised expression!! We requested three 1/2-hour check-ins a day. Within a couple of feedings, Bev sent an image showing Cote eating treats out of her hand!! Cote will only eat her wet food warmed and with a bit of water added and stirred into it, and Bev had no trouble doing that. Bev also realized that Cote required her food to be located wherever she was sitting in order for her to eat. In one picture Cote was eating her warmed food in the lawn!! Bev also earned the ability to pet Cote. The pictures and comments Bev sent were fun and comical and she stayed in contact with us the whole time we were gone. Bev has an innate sense about animals and their needs, and I feel very comfortable taking vacations now that we have found Bev to look after our furry Primadonna.”

“Jennifer has been walking my dog weekly for over four months now and he loves her! She provides pictures every time, but more importantly, he is tired every evening afterward. She knows the area and takes him on great long walks. She has also made friends with the cat who warmed up to her very quickly. Thank you Jennifer for being so wonderful with Jasper and Diego!”
“Great job caring for my Nico! Gave him the potty break and energy release he needed during my long work days! Will be using in the future for sure! Thank you again for all your help, and being so helpful!”
“This was our first time using a sitter for our dog and Julia exceeded expectations. We booked them for several drop in visits and they were on time and provided visit info with pictures almost immediately. I would definitely recommend Julia to anyone.”
“Friendly & straight forward communication, sent pics of the cutie while we were away which made my family so happy to see. Could tell our family doggo was being taking care of, getting loves & enjoying her time w/Erin while we were away. Will be referring her to others & booking again if possible!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and my first dog was around 10 years old. I’ve been regularly a part of their care since I was in my later teen years. Sometimes taking care of two dogs for upwards of five days. I also have experience taking care of ducks geese and chickens I recently graduated high school and I’m looking for an easy job to help me pay while I study so I have very little going on in terms of my schedule, shorthand I am almost always free. I know how to take care of a home and of animals I have nothing opposed to staying late since I have my own set of keys to my home or staying the night. I also do quite enjoy the presence of animals considering how long I’ve had them as pets
About: I am familiar with dogs of all breeds. I am very intuitive to dogs. I have walked up to three dogs at once. I would be interested in taking your dog or dogs to dog parks and etc. My schedule is pretty open. My dog is getting older and can't do so much any more. I am looking for personal exercise and income. I I live in an apartment. I walk my dog 2-3 times a day on a normal day plus I try to take him to the park twice a week.

Eilene A.
“I’ve known Eilene for almost four years. During that time, I saw how she gave up her job to care for her mom during her final months of illness and death with care, strength and love with determination to provide for her mom and herself. Since that time, Eilene has been focused on work and also volunteering for various activities and projects at our church. She is willing to help others including me when I had major surgery last year. Eilene brought our family a dinner and frequently called to see how I was doing again demonstrating that loving care she had for her mom. I know Eilene has a great care for animals as well. She likes to walk a lot and feel Eilene would be a good dog walker.”
