10. Gaby V.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Gabriela to pet sit for my furry friend, and I couldn't be happier with the level of care and attention she provided. Gabriela is an incredibly skilled and attentive pet sitter who clearly has a deep love and respect for animals. During her time caring for my pet, Gabriela went above and beyond to ensure that my pet felt safe, comfortable, and happy. She took the time to get to know my pet's likes, dislikes, and routines, and was always willing to go the extra mile to provide personalized care and attention. In addition to her exceptional pet-sitting skills, Gabriela is also a pleasure to work with. She is punctual, reliable, and communicates clearly and consistently throughout the pet-sitting process. Overall, I would highly recommend Gabriela to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled pet sitter. Her dedication to her work and her genuine love for animals truly sets her apart, and I feel lucky to have found such a wonderful caregiver for my furry friend.”

15. Leila V.
About: I’ve always loved animals ever since I’ve been introduced to them. It’s fed into my dream of wanting to become a vet because I want to make the world better for them since they don’t have their own voices to speak their opinions. Im looking for a job at the moment and want to get into the animal field so I’ll be doing this and working a part time job. I can do 3-11 pm on weekdays but on weekends I'm free anytime honestly. I won’t be taking care of anyone’s pets in my home because my cat Loki doesn’t like other cats and dogs so I want to respect that.
16. Grace M.
“Grace was an absolute joy to work with! She was always on time and sending us updates/photos. Loved the photos and the pups always looked so happy. We will 100% use Graces services again!”
17. Alexandra T.
“Alex is wonderful and patient with all kinds of animals, and never gives anything less than the gentleness and attention and kindness that they deserve. Get her to watch your pups are you will come home to one happy dog.”
18. NaBeela W.
“NaBeela was a great fit with our pup! She is warm and kind. She understands that our dog is a family member and treated him as one. She sent videos during her visit and we could tell our doggie was having fun. It was so comforting to receive videos and photos that showed us our dog was happy while we were away. We will definitely work with NaBeela again - highly recommend!!!”
19. Tamara C.
“I trust Tamara completely with all of my dogs. She is responsible and my dogs love when she comes over to take care of them.”
20. Irena W.
“Irena did a great job with our two cats and their difficult feeding schedule, while also sending a lot of updates. Would absolutely recommend.”
