Sarah was on time and followed Jimmy’s feeding instructions perfectly. She was very attentive and spent some time with him during her visits. She sent us photos of her visit which made us very secure and grateful. We will definitely be using her again the next time Jimmy needs a sitter.

Avital was great my Moonbelle. It was my first time leaving her and was very nervous. Avital reassured me by sending me pictures daily and updating me on her visits. They had a lot of playtime. Thank you so much! Moonbelle and I appreciated having her take care of her while I was away.

We had a great experience with Allie! She took such good care of our cat and kept everything so easy and stress-free. Communication was smooth, and she was always easy to reach. We’re very happy with her service and would definitely recommend her!

Sarah was an amazing sitter! She responded quickly and was able to accommodate our very last minute needs and immediately scheduled a meet and greet. She generously stayed longer than her allotted time and updated us daily with detailed cards and the cutest photos. We came back to a very happy cat! I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a pet sitter!

Andrew was fantastic I am so glad we booked him to take care of Buggy! From the initial interaction and meeting Buggy was comfortable with him which made me feel so much better about knowing he would be taken care of well. Andrew gave us great updates about how he was doing each visit and made sure to include lots of pictures! We will definitely be using Andrew again when we need to be away in the future!

Sonya is wonderful! I felt so comfortable leaving my cats in her hands while I was away. She is punctual, responsive, and beyond caring. I knew with absolute certainty that my cats would be safe under Sonya’s watch. She loves every animal like they are her own and treats them with utmost care.

I have too many adjectives to describe Colleen. She was extremely trustworthy, communicative, accommodating, caring, thoughtful, kind, responsible and prepared. I always stress when I go away and leave my girls but Colleen alleviated that feeling almost entirely. She even stayed longer than needed the first night. I am very happy with how my girls were treated and will definitely pick Colleen as my sitter next time.

About: I've walked dogs (both my own and friends/customers) for the last few years. I've also previously owned my own dog for a few years. I'm able to keep your pups healthy, happy and well cared for while you are away. I am happy to provide walks, brush their hair, maintain routines, administer medication and feed. I promise to treat your dogs like they are my own. I work full-time in Soho and have a pretty flexible schedule. Although I don't have the same days off every week, I will update my schedule on the app accordingly. I have a fenced porch and live in a duplex apartment. I do have a cat in the apartment but she is timid and typically stays to herself. There are lots of parks nearby for dogs to play or be walked in.

About: I have had a pet by my side since the day I was born. Pets are family and they deserve to be treated as such. Specifically, I have cared for other pets the last 7 years; feeding and cleaning fish tanks, overnight stays combined with daily dog walks and changing cat litter and cleaning their coats. To care for other's pets is a privilege that I do not take lightly, there is trust and commitment needed. I want to allow individuals to feel comfortable that their pet is cared for in times when they are unable to do so themselves. Above all else if a pet needs care, I want to provide them with a friendly face, playful affect and calm presence to ensure successful care treatment. I am currently working a full-time job that requires me to work 8:30am-4:30pm Monday-Friday. I occasionally work 1 day of the weekend and will provide full schedule is a service is requested. I will provide open and honest communication with client and maintain a flexible schedule outside of work hours. Currently I am unable to board pets in my home. It is something I hope can happen later in life at a different residence. In the client's home, I will care for their pet as they would like me to, ultimately wanting the pet to maintain their normal schedule as best as possible.

About: At my house, your pets will be family! I have about 16 years of experience with caring for cats and dogs, including my own. I look forward to meeting your pet :) I naturally build pet care into my daily routine with morning and evening visits for feeding, walks, and quality time. I keep my schedule organized so pets get consistent care, and I’m happy to accommodate midday visits when locations are nearby. I really enjoy making pet care a calm, dependable part of my day. I treat every pet like they’re my own. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine so pets feel comfortable and secure, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just their usual hangout spots. I keep the environment clean and calm, and I always make sure they get attention and affection. If pets are in my home, they’ll have a safe, relaxed space with lots of supervision, love, and consistency throughout the day.

Wendy did a fabulous job watching our two fur babies! Being out of the country I'm always frightened the AC will stop working for some odd reason, but she assured me that the house remained cool the entire time. Located in the same town as me, she could come to the house quickly if needed. The house was clean and tidy just like we left it. We'll definitely use her on our next trip!
