Gabriela has been exceptional in caring for my beautiful Himalayan cats, Coco and Donatella. She is incredibly caring, intuitive, and attentive to their individual needs, always knowing exactly how to make them feel safe and comfortable. Gabriela is responsible, reliable, and consistently goes above and beyond, all while being genuinely warm and friendly. I have complete peace of mind knowing Coco and Donatella are in such loving and capable hands. I highly recommend her without hesitation.

If you get the chance to book Donna consider yourself lucky! She is one of the kindest and most generous sitters we have ever come across. She watched my two cats twice now. She went above and beyond to make sure my pets were okay. There was a night I was concerned about one of the cats because we didn’t see him for a while on the cat cameras. She headed straight over to ease our concerns, even though it was it was an unplanned visit. She is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone.

This is my second time booking with Lisa, she did a great job. When she came over to get the keys my dogs were so excited to either hear her voice or smell her sent Niko was crying and howling. They would have remembered if it wasn’t a good experience for them and wouldn’t have been eager to see her. I definitely will have her watch my babies again.

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life and I have experience taking care of dogs. I currently have two dogs of my own. I know the patience and time it takes to care for pets. Dogs are not just pets, they are family members with their own unique personalities. I am here to help you because I know it takes a community to care for pets. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pups. Right now my schedule is pretty flexible. I can let your pup outside for potty breaks, feed them, give them water, or take them on walks. I am here to offer and extra hand when you need it.

About: I have always been around dogs since I can remember. My mom got me my first dog when I was 8 years old and from there I have been in love with dogs. I’m currently working from home which gives me time to dedicate time spend with your fur baby and play with. My schedule most of the times is pretty flexible. I have a french bulldog that is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. He loves to play ball and spend time running around. I do have a dog park near my apt which is most of the times empty.

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.

Rachel did an excellent job taking care of our dogs with multiple drop in visits over the Christmas holiday. She was punctual on each visit for the discussed times. She communicated with us on each visit and was very prompt with replies to any communication over the holiday. We would definitely book with her again in the future.

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!
