I had a wonderful experience with my dog sitter and would absolutely book with her again! She took excellent care of my two dogs and was attentive, kind, gentle, and professional throughout the entire process. She followed all instructions carefully, kept me updated, and treated my dogs as if they were her own. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing my pets were in such caring hands while I was away. When I returned home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my girls! 🐾❤️

Extremely impressed with Maria taking care of my cat. My cat is newly rescued and very scared of people. While I was away my cat found some places I didn't even know were possible to hide that were probably not very safe for a cat. Maria went out of her way to get my cat out, and prevent her from going back. By the end of the week my cat was even opening up a bit towards her.

About: I care for dogs of all different sizes and temperaments and have specialized experience caring for reactive and skiddish doggos. I know how hard it can be but it’s also that much more rewarding. Booking with me you will have peace of mind and your dog will be cared for as if they were my own My schedule is fully flexible so your pets have my complete attention while they are in my care. I try to maintain their typical routine while you’re away to minimize their stress. I provide as much TLC as possible and as a bonus I can reinforce any training you’d like while you’re away. All pups tend to feel very comfortable around me and my experience with even “challenging” temperaments has prepared me to love every unique personality. Regardless of whether you’d like me to spend the night in your home I will be with your dog at least 3 times a day and spend quality time in the home together and exercise outside twice a day in addition to potty breaks

Nicole is wonderful with my Atlas. She is always on time, communicative, and sends lots of pics. I was concerned that he might develop separation anxiety when I returned to work, but Nicole’s drop-ins keep him happy and engaged (the only separation anxiety is mine 😊). Her consistency and experience is helping him learn his manners (leash and potty etiquette) very well.

i never met elvia, only spoke on the phone, making arrangements for my dog. Having never met her, leaving my house keys was honestly a bit uncomfortable for me. however, given her excellent reviews, i decided to just trust and go for it. elvia came exactly on time, fed and played with my dog for a half hour and then left. everything went just as planned. her communication was great, which was essential, and put me at ease. i had a postive experience.

We’re so grateful to Claudia for taking such great care of Luna and Beanie while we were away! She did an amazing job not only spending time with them but also keeping everything clean and tidy. One of the cats had an accident outside the litter box, which I was a bit worried about, but Claudia took care of it right away and reassured us that everything was fine. It really gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you, Claudia, for treating our cats and our home with such care!

Danielle was an amazing cat sitter for Sasha. She was incredibly easy to communicate with from the beginning, and I really appreciated how she proactively asked thoughtful questions and made a detailed care plan instead of just doing the bare minimum. She followed all instructions perfectly, was very kind and reliable, and overall gave me a really comfortable and safe feeling while I was away. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I came home feeling relaxed knowing Sasha had been in such good hands. Highly recommend!

This cat sitter was fantastic and gave me total peace of mind while I was away for a week. They sent adorable daily photos and updates showing my cat happily playing, eating, and they kept everything food, water, litter box, and playtime—perfectly on schedule. I came home to a relaxed, healthy kitty, and I’ll be booking them again without hesitation!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Connor was great watching our cat Pepper while we were away! He sent photos and a detailed check in each day, making sure she had everything she needed. He went above and beyond cleaning around her little box and taking out the trash when he noticed it was full. Pepper can be quite shy, and he took the time to coax her out with toys and give her extra attention! Would highly recommend Connor for any pet sitting needs!
