“Lex is awesome! My lil fur baby loves when she visit and play with him. ❤️ She is very responsive and respectful of my home and mamba. Recommended 100% and she will always be hired by me.”


“Michelle did great taking care of our 3 huskies. She made sure our dogs received any medication needed and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Thank you for taking such good care of our pups!”

“Naisha was excellent. Understanding, helpful and on time. She walked my dog daily and I was able to see how happy he was. Respected my hime and kept things very professional. Thank you.”

About: I have a dog of my own (toy poodle) and I’ve had a variety of dogs growing up. I’ve had an English bulldog, a Boston terrier, a Yorkiepoo, and a Rottweiler so I’m experienced with all types of dogs. I have been taking care of pets including kittens, cats, and dogs for the past 5 years. I’m currently working part time remotely as an attorney, so I’m usually home all day unless I have other prior commitments such as a piano lesson to teach. I make loads of time to play with my dog and my son, and take him for long walks and several potty breaks a day, so your pet will be getting the same care! I treat every animal who is in my care just as well as I treat my own baby, and I am very careful to follow clients’ instructions because I know how I would want my baby to be treated. I personally like the free roaming approach, because I am a guest in your pup’s home. But of course I will always respect the boundaries that you have set for them. If you let them on the furniture, they can come on up and cuddle with me! If you prefer them to be crated at night, I will respect your wishes. In the event that I do have to step out, know that I don’t like leaving my own dog home alone for more than 2-3 hours at a time so I take the same care with clients. Even if I have to go teach a piano lesson, I always make sure the dogs are fed and the dogs have gone for a potty break before I leave and I make sure I’m not gone too long!
About: I have taken care of neighbors, friends and family's pets. I have had 10 pets in the past 35 years. I have trained 6 puppies. I have had 4 senior dogs. I am a retired teacher. Other than an occasional routine or exercise, I'm home. I have plenty of time to love and care for one of the most important member of your family. I have a fenced yard and can take on more than one dog from the same family. If your pet feels comfortable in a crate, I will set one up, otherwise I do not crate dogs. Dogs are welcome to sit on the furniture and I have dog stairs.
“Great experience! Drue took amazing care of Nitro and kept us updated the whole time. Nitro was happy, well cared for, and comfortable. We’d definitely book again and highly recommend them.”


“Amanda did an amazing job taking care of my cat Teddy! He has been going through a lot and is on new medication, but Amanda gave him his meds no problem. She was great at scooping his litter box and cleaning up after him. She’s an amazing sitter, will definitely use again!”

“Aiden was awesome! I had a last minute change on my trip and he didn’t hesitate to jump in action! Great communication at all time and took great care of my cat Thunder. Thank you!”

About: I’ve had pets for the past 27years of my life and can’t imagine my life without them. Pets may only be around for part of our lives but we’re their whole lives and giving them the best happiest one possible is always my goal. I have lots of patience for your stubborn pets and tons of energy for your hyper ones. Have confidence knowing I will fulfill all your pets needs while keeping them safe, clean/tidy, and happy. Currently a stay at home mom of a teen daughter who is going to college soon and needing to save up money for schooling and other expenses. I’m experienced with many things; long walks, higher intensity activities for your bigger pals, training simple commands and potty training, preparing/cooking nutritional meals or simple feedings, some grooming like baths, brushing hair/teeth. I’m also very adamant about safety and good hygiene so I’ll always be making sure your pet and their space is clean, tidy, and most importantly safe.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own that I adore. I have had big dogs and small, loud and quiet, and have loved them all the same. I have taught them tricks and take them on lots of walks. I have also watched dogs who require medications regularly and am good with following a schedule. I would be focused on your doggos the entire time that they are in my care:) I’m currently not working, aside from coaching in the evenings. My schedule is extremely flexible and I would only ever be out of the house for 2-3 hours at a time but could flex my schedule to fit your needs:) I have two dogs of my own so I am pretty good and knowing when they need to go out. I try to walk the dogs I watch multiple times a day or play with them outside so that they are being active. I leave the house exactly as it was when I arrived and follow all rules you may have!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and currently have two large adoption doggy fur babies who I love like crazy! I love walking them and being outside and have a very flexible schedule. My schedule is completely flexible schedule as I stay home. I am ready and available to care for your pets and take care of their needs during the day or night. I own two of my own and care for many friends dogs in my home as well as their homes. I am very flexible in caring for your needs.

“Our senior dog was well taken care of and loved the company while we were away. Already rebooked with Jacqueline for our next trip away. It's nice to have somebody you trust taking care of part of your family.”

About: I believe that pets are more than animals, they are also family. My priority is for them to be comfortable, healthy, well taken care of, and happy. I also have experience with giving medications such as oral, ear drops, and eye drops. Although this may sound a little random, I also speak Spanish for those who have pets that only understand that language. If your pet likes to sleep on the bed, I have no problem with that. I tend to enjoy the company anyway. I can house sit any day of the week/weekend. However, I do have another job that I go to: Monday-Friday. Other than that, I’m usually free. Before I go to work or anywhere, I make sure that I either walk my dogs, or at least take them outside the yard so they can do whatever they need to do. I also like to stay with them an hour or two before leaving, just because I like for them to have a little bit of cuddle or fun time. I also like to take them to the dog park to socialize them and for them to have their exercise. I usually try to keep them in a healthy diet but, if I do feed them human food, I always look up information to make sure if it’s healthy or not because, why should they miss out? They loves car rides as well, so I tend to bring them with me wherever they can. They’re my travel buddies. We also sometimes go chill at the beach, and whenever we do that, I always bring a bag of necessities such as toys, plenty of waters, their water bowls, their leash, and doggy bags. I sometimes bring a couple of their favorite treats or stop by a store to get something we can eat.

Sure! Here’s a polished and friendly review you can use or modify to your liking: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Wonderful Pet Sitter! I had such a great experience with Aleksandra! She came to take care of my dogs and was incredibly kind, reliable, and professional. From the moment we met, I felt confident that my pets were in good hands. She was punctual for every visit, communicated clearly, and made sure my dogs were happy, well-fed, and exercised. I loved getting little updates and photos—it really put my mind at ease. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy who genuinely cares about animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!
