Christine is an absolute gem! On incredibly short notice, she stepped in to care for our senior Puggle, Rosie, for over eight hours, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Rosie, who can be a bit picky about new people, warmed up to Christine right away—a true testament to her kind and gentle nature. When unexpected delays kept us out past midnight, Christine went above and beyond by staying later than we originally planned without a hint of hesitation. She truly has a heart of gold and took such wonderful care of Rosie. We feel so lucky to have met Christine and can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you, Christine!

Diane was such a blessing. She has a really sweet and caring demeanor and we knew right away she was the right sitter to watch our fur babies. In our week long trip she took great care of our home and 2 dogs and kept in touch throughout our trip. We feel relieved to have found her and will definitely rebook with her. Thank you Diane!!

Malcolm is very flexible and punctual! He gave our dogs so much attention and love. I have a reactive and anxious dog I was very worried of being away from, but she loved him and did well. He provides thorough updates and is detailed. Would recommend for dog walks and house sitting needs!

Kat was Great! Our pups took an immediate liking to her and she was able to keep up with them the whole week that we were gone. She was very attentive and went over and above the call of duty when it came to walks in colder weather. Kat was also very respectful of our home and upon our return everything was as we left it. Our pups love Kat and we will rebook with her soon. We highly recommend Kat!

April came and stayed with our new rescue, Willow. We were apprehensive because we have never left her before and she is still crate training. April is responsive, prompt, caring, and has a strong attention to detail. Our house was left in immaculate condition and Willow is happy to see us. I would highly recommend April and we’re so glad we found her.

About: Animal lover and caring sitter. I have had A lifetime cat mother to adventurous, curious, scared, determined, misbehaving, chatty, quiet and ferocious felines. Kitten, puppy, elder, and medication experience. No stranger to cat nip and tennis balls. I am currently part-time and make my own schedule, so am available for your pet care needs. I also drive so it is easier for me to get to locations that are a bit father from me. I make sure to give the pet their own room when they are staying at my house. I limit interactions with my own pets, because I don't want to stress anyone out. I make sure to give pets in their homes the same exact comfort and care that they are allowed. I make sure to follow owners instructions, and keep them safe and calm.

About: I’ve had animals in my life as far back as I can remember. I currently have 2 amazing rescue dogs from the West Bank, and 3 delightfully weird cats. I can’t imagine life without these babies! I have done lots of pet sitting over the years. I’ve been a professional dog walker, and I’ve also worked at a doggie daycare. I have a lot of experience with senior pets and their unique needs, as well as giving a variety of medications. I am also open to caring for dogs with emotional and behavioral challenges. As a loving and devoted pet parent to two beautiful rescue dogs with significant trauma and anxiety, I know that it can be hard to find the right loving care. I am willing to be patient and work with you and your special fur babies! I will love and care for your pets just as I do for my own. I understand that fur babies are family and you can trust that I will treat them as such! Pet care is my full time job. You can count on me to be reliable and punctual, because this job is very important to me! I’m always extremely respectful and trustworthy when in clients’ homes with their pets. Your fur babies’ safety and happiness, as well as your comfort, are my priorities! ***I do not walk dogs wearing pinch/prong collars.

I am happy I found LizaMarie, I was out town for about 2 weeks and I needed to find someone that can spend quality time with Pipa, take her for walks while staying at my place. She communicates well, asked the right questions, and ensured Pipa was fine while I was gone. I highly recommend her.

Jessica is one of the most thoughtful people I know. She has a genuine, authentic and selfless way of loving and caring for others (humans and animals alike). Seeing the way she cares for her pets is heartwarming. Jessica is a good communicator, reliable and trustworthy. She has a very calming and nurturing energy. I have no doubt that your animals will be wonderfully cared for in Jessica's hands.
