“Kyla did a great job looking after my cats. It was easy to set things up, she arrived as scheduled, communicated well throughout, and my cats liked her too.”


“Meghan is so kind and thoughtful. She did everything that was expected plus so much more. If she saw something she could do, she did it. Absolutely above and beyond. Brought in the mail, took the trash out, watered my plants :). Talked to me on the Echo:) just such a nice person and really cares about making sure my kitties are ok. So grateful and glad she was available while I was out of town. Would definitely recommend.”


“Eddie provided drop-in visits for our hound dog Milo while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. He took good care of Milo and communicated well with us throughout, giving us great peace of mind. Would definitely recommend.”


“Kathleen did a great job with Tater, played ball with him and feed him. She arrived on time to pick Tater up and is very responsive to walking requests. Will book again with her.”


“Kaycey did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs! It was a last minute booking and she responded quickly and was able to get to our house in a timely manner!”


“Cat has been an absolute pleasure to work with! I scheduled her last minute for daily drop-in services with my dog, Koko. Even though it was a short turnaround time (I made the request Saturday morning for services starting on Monday), Cat came to our house that same day to meet Koko and discuss what I was looking for in drop-in services. Over the past week, Cat has been an excellent communicator, has consistently arrived on time, and has really catered her care to Koko's preferences (e.g., playing ball with her in our yard, convincing her to eat something at lunchtime even though she's picky). I have already booked another drop-in session with Cat for next week and will certainly continue to work with her in the future! I highly recommend working with Cat!”


“Shannon did a fantastic job checking in on our two cats while we were out of town. The kitties are still fat and sassy, and actually came out to say hello for their check in photos! Highly recommended.”


“Devinder is very friendly and makes sure your pet gets the care they need. My dog Sylvester is being left alone in the home for the first time since COVID started and Devinder makes him feel comfortable while I'm away. Devinder is great about sending updates and photos. Definitely booking again!”


“I’m never using anyone else! Tyler has a genuine love and passion for animals that shows in her visits and when she hosts. You won’t just get pictures of your dog playing in backyard - she actually spends time with your pup”


“Victoria was available for our last minute booking! She did exactly what was in the care plan, communicated well and was super friendly! We will definitely book with her again!”


“Cynthia was a great pup-sitter, and kept me well informed with pictures and updates! Sebastian tends to be anxious and he looked like he didn’t miss a beat of belly rubs, cuddles, walks and attention. She communicated all needs and changes in behavior during my time away! She was a great sitter!”


“Hollie was wonderful with our two pups! One is a little more shy, but she still won her over and approached her with so much care. Hollie is highly communicative, responsible, and provided great care. Thank you, Hollie :)”


“First time having Nick care for our fur babies! Nick is a great young man who clearly loves animals. He was punctual for our meet and greet as well as drop in visit to care for our pups! Would highly recommend and will definitely be calling on him for future needs!”


About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience as a devoted pet owner, I’ve cared for animals at every life stage—from the gentle needs of my senior toy poodle to the boundless energy of my young golden retriever. I specialize in creating a nurturing and safe environment, offering personalized care that includes potty training, leash walking, and reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, and recall. Whether it’s meeting the unique challenges of senior care or keeping active pups engaged, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a deep passion for happy, healthy pets. As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent attention throughout the day, from morning walks and feeding to playtime and enrichment activities. My flexible schedule ensures your pets receive the care and attention they need, with plenty of time for exercise, training, and affection. In my home, I provide designated spaces for my pets to rest and play, ensuring they have a comfortable and secure area. I also have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time. Your pet will be safe and comfortable, and if they enjoy playing with other dogs, I can arrange playtime with mine. If preferred, I can keep pets separate or crate them if they are crate-trained, ensuring everyone feels relaxed. I follow a consistent routine for my dogs, including regular feeding, walks, and playtime, to maintain a sense of structure. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe and positive environment where pets feel at ease, with plenty of attention and affection throughout their stay.

“Alex is so great! He plays with the kitties and send pics and they seem well taken care of and so does the house! I feel so much better knowing Alex is there for the little monsters!”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Miguel for over a year, and in that time, he has consistently impressed me with his dependability, work ethic, and positive attitude. Miguel is incredibly trustworthy. He always follows instructions carefully and takes initiative to ensure tasks are completed thoroughly and on time. He is also very responsible and can be counted on to handle any unexpected situations that may arise. Beyond his work ethic, Miguel has a genuine love for animals. He is gentle and patient with pets, and l've witnessed him go above and beyond to ensure their comfort and well-being. He has a natural ability to connect with animals and quickly build rapport with them. I highly recommend Miguel as a pet caregiver. I am confident that he will provide excellent care for any animal entrusted to him. He is a kind, compassionate, and responsible individual who will be a valuable asset to any pet owner.”
