Rachelle was amazing! She was very communicative and sent several pictures of our fur kids at every check in. She even made fast friends with some of our very shy cats. The house was in good order when we returned home and you could tell Rachelle took great care of the pets, food stations, and litter boxes while we were gone. Will definitely use her again soon!

Mercedes is wonderful with Winnie! She keeps me up to date on their visits and makes sure there’s fresh water in the bowl so I don’t have to worry about it when I get home. She also makes sure all Winnie’s toys are picked up after they’re done playing. It’s these little things that make such a difference and I love knowing Winnie is well taken care of when I’m at work. Thanks, again!!

Kayla! Took incredible care of my two cats over the thanksgiving holiday. She managed to enjoy her T-day and decorate her home for Christmas but still made sure my kitties were happy. Who could ask for more?

2nd time booking with Laszlo and he went above and beyond taking care of my pets, including buying cat food bc we accidentally didn’t leave enough AND extending his visits last minute due to an emergency. Highly highly recommend.

About: I have worked with my dog Onyx since getting him (now AKC Good Citizen) and as well as potty training. I have had many dogs since a young age as well. I’m currently in school and want to help out with morning pet activities or necessities . Also possibly also incorporate my own dog with having new friends. My pets are on scheduled feeding times and timely walks and play. Walks mainly around the city and local parks. Also socializing in pet friendly stores and car rides in harnessed car seats and/or carriers.

Gabrielle is an upstanding animal lover. She is kind, patient, and can have a firm hand when necessary. Watching her pup cuddle up to her is like watching the best Showtime movie. My dog would be thrilled to go for a jaunt with her, if we lived close! Let Gabrielle take your pup on an adventure. I promise he/she will have the time of their life!

About: I’ve taken care of big dogs to little dogs and even cats since I was very young. I also have experience with farm animals like horses, cattle, and goats. I have some knowledge of veterinary care as I’ve interned at vet clinics and have worked at an animal shelter. I’m also in college studying animal science:) I’m currently unemployed as I’m focusing on my academics. But I still want to gain experience and be around animals. So I am available anytime weekdays or weekends. So I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I would provide care to your pets exactly how you would. I would treat them as if they’re my pets and give them plenty of love.

About: I have loved animals since I was a child and have always had pets in my home. I have watched pets for friends and family for years, but recently moved to the area and found myself missing the opportunity to provide care for my favorite furry friends. I also have experience caring for senior dogs with special medical needs. I would love to provide walks, bathroom breaks, and overnight care for any of your pets. Whether you just need a break from potty breaks and walks once in awhile, overnight care, or long term care, I would love to help you and your pets! I currently work remotely part-time so I have a ton of flexibility. Your pets will be my number one focus during their time with me and I can flex my remote work to fit around your schedule! I only offer services at your home as I have a dog of my own. I want to ensure that your pet gets 100% of my attention and isn't subjected to a new environment and new dog that may stress them out. I have a hybrid work schedule and can work from home when necessary, perfect to provide plenty of play time, potty breaks, and attention for your pets. I live in a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for calm walks! I have a large yard that borders a wooded area. While my yard isn’t fenced, there’s lots of room to roam on the leash

Anthony has been watching all my cats and my dog for the past 3 years. He is loving patient and considerate. His attention to detail when I give him a list of things my dog requires is super helpful in making me Feel better. As a veteran myself I have needed to ask him to watch my dog for extended period of time while I was away on duty and he has been wonderful in communicating and calling while me to FaceTime my dog while I was overseas. Couldn’t ask for a better companion for my dog than a Marine. My animals love him more than me.

I have known Chantelle her whole life. She has always loved animals and has had 2 cats and 2 dogs. Her pets are always well taken care of, comfortable, and content. Chantelle treats her pets like the sweet little fur babies that they are. I would highly recommend her to walk my puppy and/or take care of my puppy if I have to be gone and not able to take her with me. I would hire Chantelle myself but I live too far away at the moment.

Coen did a great job taking care of my pets. He was responsive to my messages and easy to communicate with. It's clear that he cares deeply about animals and goes the extra mile to make sure they are happy and well cared for. My dog has some trust issues with new people and he was incredibly sensitive to her special needs and now they are best friends! I definitely recommend him to other pet parents and will use him again myself.
