“Amanda was absolutely fantastic!! My cats both have health conditions and need medicine every 12 hours. Amanda always did her check ins really promptly and was super communicative throughout, really going the extra mile several times. I'm always a little nervous leaving my very old cats and she put my mind totally at ease. I would definitely have her back again and again!”

“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful with our 2 cats!!! She was super communicative, very thoughtful, and sent us great updates while we were away and out of service. She even went above and beyond cleaning our their water fountain and picking up a delivery at our package room that we had sent to the apartment to restock our cats litter so it was fresh. Our cats seemed to love her and it was such a relief to know they were well taken care of. Will definitely be booking again for future trips!!”

About: I supported and dog-sat a recently adopted dog from an abusive environment over the past four years. Happy to work with anxious dogs or dogs that need lots of quiet time and space. Patient with different needs. I work remotely on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays and can shift responsibilities around to visit before and after work and at lunch, or stay during the day to work. I'm very careful with cats or dogs that try to escape and experienced with keeping them in when I enter or exit. I'm watchful for dogs picking up food on walks and generally watchful for safety.

About: I have had a wide range of dogs, cats and other miscellaneous pets throughout my lifetime and I have a lot of experience with taking care of them. I have trained both of my current dogs in basic obedience (sitting, laying down, come, stay etc). I have loved animals for my entire life, and enjoy taking the time to get to know the individual needs of each animal in order to best care for them. I have in-home dog sat several times before, and I am very attentive and able to cater to any need your pet has while walking, sitting or playing with them. I also used to volunteer at the animal shelter, and I took one of my dogs to a training class to learn proper care and techniques. My husband and I recently got a adopted a puppy and we did a lot of research and “on-the-job” learning of how to raise a well-behaved dog! I am a grad student preparing for a new year! This summer, I have the time to spend time with your pets! My schedule is super flexible and I am able to care for the needs of your beloved animal! My style of care varies a bit from pet to pet. I really enjoy training, and getting to know different animals. An important part of pet care, especially for dogs, is to make sure they have their mental and physical needs met. I am happy to spend time working with your pup (whether in training or socialization practices), exercising them, and making sure they have everything they need. I look to build a bond with the animal to make sure they feel safe as well!

“Ashley was the absolute best. It was our first time leaving our cat alone and we were very nervous since our cat is very shy. To our very pleasant surprise, our cat came out and interacted with Ashley in every visit. Ashley was very patient and took very good care of our little ‘Tina. Ashley showed up promptly at every appointment and was very patient and attentive with Tina’s needs. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life! Growing up with 2 dogs & 2 cats, working as a dog walker all through high school and college, and now being a proud cat mom of 2, I’m well versed with caring for animals! I also have experience administering medicine to cats, and giving daily inhalers as I do have an asmathic cat myself. I really understand the anxieties that come with leaving a pet, and will make sure they are well cared for, played with, and provide thorough updates & photos! I work from home and have a flexible work schedule, plus I have a car so getting to your home to care for your pets easily fits into my routine. I will treat your home as my own! I’m happy to take care of house sitting duties as well, like bringing in mail, taking out trash, watering plants- I can even feed your sourdough starter! I also will commit to fast response times, and prompt updates + photos!

About: I’ve been around and taken care of animals my entire life. Since I was born, my family always had at least 3 dogs at all times. We also had cats, fish, birds, rabbits, horses, turtles, snakes, bearded dragons, mice, and even opossums for a brief moment — all of which I have cared for. I’ve always been on hand to babysit neighbors animals and am often the go-to pet sitter when friends leave town. I respect the household rules while giving my new furry (or scale-y) friends plenty of attention. I work full-time, but I have the flexibility to work remotely. While I have meetings throughout the day, they are never more than an hour, and I can take plenty of breaks to get some energy out, for potty breaks, or for some pets. There’s nothing better than stretching your legs with a pup by your side. In my home, I use positive reinforcement to train, but include lots of activity so pent up energy doesn’t set my dogs up for failure. But, I believe in household rules, as consistency is most important in dog training. I will stick to whatever routine the client prefers.

“Kyra did a great job caring for my two cats, sometimes coming twice a day to feed, water and litter. Kyra also gave ear drops to Nike who had an infection. She sent pictures and was in contact, and I think the cats really liked her. I trust her and would certainly book Kyra again.”

About: I love spending time with dogs, whether we're playing fetch, running, or going for walks. I'm attentive to each dog's needs, moods, and personality, and I find it incredibly rewarding to make a dog happy. Seeing a happy, smiling dog always brightens my day! My experience comes from caring for three dogs: a Golden Retriever whom I cared for from young adulthood through his senior years, a Corgi I've had since he was 10 weeks old, and a senior Australian Shepherd mix. These experiences have taught me to appreciate the unique needs of dogs at different life stages. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have a degree in Biology and have read extensively about positive reinforcement training and canine psychology. I enjoy continually learning about dogs so I can better understand them and provide attentive, compassionate care. I'm reliable, patient, and committed to making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I tailor my care to each dog's individual needs, energy level, and personality, whether that means an energetic walk, a fun game of fetch, or a slower-paced outing with plenty of time to sniff and explore. I am generally available at any time on the weekends and a flexible weekday work schedule that I can work around to be with your pet. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each dog's personality, needs, and energy level. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while maintaining their usual routines as much as possible. I enjoy keeping dogs active through walks, running, and playing fetch, while also allowing plenty of time for sniffing, exploring, and relaxing. I'm attentive to their moods and body language so I can recognize when they need exercise, reassurance, or rest. I understand that every dog is different, and I adapt my approach to suit their age, temperament, and activity level, including the special needs of senior dogs. Having cared for a Golden Retriever from young adulthood through his senior years, raised my Corgi from 10 weeks old, and cared for a senior Australian Shepherd mix, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized attention. My Biology degree and independent study of positive reinforcement training and canine psychology further inform my approach. Above all, I want every dog in my care to feel safe, loved, and understood. I treat each pet as an individual and strive to make their time with me a happy, positive experience.

About: Cats and dogs have always been the fur babies of my family. I have a bunch of dog cousins and I've raised and cared for several cats in my life through all stages of life. I work 8 hr shifts (6:30 am-3pm or 1pm-9pm). Outside of work, typically would run errands, but if i could, i would be able to walk or pet sit. I have worked full time and pet sit in the past. It would be great to pet sit because I love pets, but don't have them here in the city. Because I don't have pets here, however I would be able to pet sit either at my place or the clients place. I have a safe one bedroom apartment so I would always be near the fur baby if I am hosting. There are no other pet that could potentially cause discomfort for the client pet. I love to cuddle and play with cats, but i can also be patient and wait for them to come to me. I also have skills to administer topical and oral medicine if necessary.

Jordan is fabulous! I needed to book at the last minute and she was accommodating to my needs. My kitty, Percy, took to her immediately. I felt comfortable having Jordan take care of my kitty while I was away. I recommend Jordan if you are looking for a true “cat whisperer”. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!

Isabel does a phenomenal job. My 2 cats just love her, I can tell. She plays with them and is a hard act to follow because even I don't play with them as much as she does. Isabel sends great photos and thorough reports on her visits. I have hired her in the past and will do so in the future. Thank you Isabel!

When I first booked Katie it was for a much longer trip (over two weeks) and I was wracked with anxiety leaving my bunnies for so long. Katie made me feel better, she was so attentive and commutative about everything! She even cared for one of my rabbits sore hocks daily. It’s obvious she loves your pets and the feeling is mutual. I look forward to working with Katie again in the future!

Sasha was very communicative with me about her schedule, the drop ins, and how my cats were doing. She gave me detailed updates and really made being away from my cats for the first time much easier because I knew they were in good hands. One of my cats is not a lap cat at all, and she even sat with Sasha on the last day of drop ins, which goes to show how great Sasha was with them!

This was my second time working with Dennis and he once again went above and beyond to make sure my senior kitty Sasha is taken care of. He is great with Sasha and put a lot of care into both ensuring that she was fed and received her medications, as well as made sure she received lots of pets and attention. Would definitely recommend!
