“Sofia is very organized, detailed and patient. She always communicates and sends lots of pictures. I feel much better knowing my three cats are in good hands with her.”

“If I could give more stars than 5 I would. Sam is the only sitter that my cat trusted enough to come out of hiding. I have a cat with a traumatic history and normally he does not budge from the farthest depths under the bed. I finally can stop worrying about my gentle giant while I am away.”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing watching my dogs for three days! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved on the entire time. She followed all instructions perfectly and treated them like her own. When I returned, everything was clean, organized, and my pups were calm and content — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur babies, but Lauren exceeded every expectation. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. Thank you, Lauren! 🐾💛”

“Justice is fantastic and took great care of my dog! I really appreciated the updates and her attention to detail. It made the whole experience stress-free and I would highly recommend her!”

“Stephanie did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. My fountain unfortunately broke during the period she was pet sitting, but she managed a workaround and made sure my cats had everything they needed. Pleasant person to interact with. Highly recommend.”

About: I have raised 2 dogs since puppies until older age. I have experience with older dogs and puppies. Love them all. I have no pets at the moment so any pet I care for will receive lots of love. Love all pets I can provide care in the morning and afternoon. I am available for many services. I can walk pets, play with them, feed them, take them out, cuddle them, and give them love. I can also stay in your house or apartment with your pet. I give pets lots of love and attention. I can give pets lots of love, cuddle with them and give them treats, practice commands, or also just give them space and take them out for walks. I love dogs, I also like cats. Any pets are a joy
“Natalia was very responsive and nice to work with! She was so caring with our kitties and spent extra time with them by playing and giving pets. She followed directions and asked questions if she had them. She provided photos and videos. Would definitely hire Natalia again!”

“Yulissa is an amazing pet sitter. She took great care of our four cats, two of which are quite elderly. Because of different dietary needs for each cat and medications the instructions are quite elaborate, but that was no problem for Yulissa. She is an excellent communicator, and she made sure to give as a daily update. We would be very happy to have her take care of our cats again!”

“Zulema has walked out dogs in the past and taken care of our kitties while we were out of town and is always so incredibly helpful and kind. She goes the extra mile every single time, and the pups and kitties respond very well to her! I couldn’t recommend her enough <3”
“After moving to a new neighborhood, we suddenly found ourselves in need of a new sitter and a little peace of mind before heading out of town. Curtis responded almost immediately and made the whole process feel easy from the start. By all accounts, he and Rumpus became fast friends. What was supposed to be our vacation quickly turned into Rumpus’ staycation, complete with couch naps, treats, and what looked like a very full social calendar. Curtis kept us updated with great photos and thoughtful notes that made it clear Rumpus was relaxed, happy, and very much in his element. Coming home to a calm dog and a well-kept routine is the best review we can give. We’re grateful to have found Curtis and feel lucky to have such a reliable, attentive sitter in the neighborhood.”

“Kimberly is absolutely fantastic!! She came and met the cat (and us) two days before our scheduled trip. The first thing she did when she entered our apartment was introduce herself to Laney. We gave her tons of information especially since we had never left the cat for more than a day. She blew me away from day 1. I allow my cat to pick out her food for the day by holding two packets and giving her whichever packet she rubs her face on. It sounds a little kooky but Kimberly did this everyday I checked our cameras every day after the notification that she had arrived just to check and saw her giving Laney her choices of wet food. She sent me amazingly detailed information about what they played, how she ate, and just Laney's general disposition during the visit. Kimberly went above and beyond on the last day by bringing in a package with litter and kibble! We booked Kimberly for one hour visits. I, again, typically checked our cameras about 5-10 minutes before the end of the visit. Every day, she was still in our living room playing with Laney and engaging her. I, truly, cannot not find anything wrong with how she met my VERY high expectations. She helped decrease my anxiety about Laney which, in turn, helped both my husband and me enjoy our vacation that much more!”
“Lexi is amazing! I was fortunate to find her in a last-minute situation, and she enthusiastically took on three drop-in visits with less than 24 hours’ notice. My timid rescue beagle warmed up to her immediately, she followed very specific instructions perfectly, and I will definitely be using her services again!”

Megan was so friendly and easy to work with!! She took fabulous pictures of my cats while caring for them, and provided excellent care. One of my cats really doesn’t like anyone, but seemed to look forward to Megan’s visits :) the peace of mind she was able to give while I was on vacation was priceless. Will definitely book with her again!!

Jessica kept us fully informed, with photos, about our cats every day she looked after them. We felt fully confident and reassured throughout. She also went above and beyond, attending to some pet-inspired messes (a vase knocked over, for example, spilling water everywhere) with the utmost care. We could not have been more pleased and gratified by Jessica’s dedication and skill and would recommend her without qualification.
