1. Vanessa M.

“Vanessa was great! She arrived on time and she sent pictures and a thorough summary for each visit. Our more fearful cat seemed to appreciate Vanessa's approach and our braver kitty was happy for the attention. Will definitely rebook!”


2. Sarah H.


“Sarah was awesome for her drop-in visit and graciously shared her extensive knowledge with us—as new dog owners, we sincerely value her guidance and support with our dog.”


3. Megan K.

“Megan did such an amazing job taking care of our pup for us. It is obvious that she LOVES dogs, and our dog LOVED her. She sent us lots of pictures and videos and went completely above and beyond what was expected. We are so grateful and will definitely ask Megan to take care of our pup again, especially since I’m pretty sure our dog misses her already. Thank you so much, Megan!”

5. Andrew M.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 and currently a turtle for the past 5 years. I have experience with from giving medicine to giving the best good boy/girl heard rubs around. I have a full time job, but have a flexible schedule. I can do mostly 30min visits or longer on weekends. But am willing to coordinate on as needed basis. I can do mainly drop in visits as I have 2 cats and a turtle currently at my place. So home stay will not work.


6. Tina Y.

“At the meet and greet Tina gently introduced herself to Chilli, listened closely as we toured our home, took notes asked questions. She followed the written instructions we left for her and confirmed additional instructions we texted after we left for our trip. She texted us pictures of Chilli with updates. She also went beyond her responsibilities and checked for ants that had invaded our home before we left for our trip. She exceeded our expectations and we’ll definitely schedule her again soon!”


7. Marlene P.

“I was in a bind because I had to go on a work trip. So this was my first time having Marlene take care of my doggies. I am always reluctant to have new people in my home, taking care of my babies. But, after meeting her both I and my little guys felt comfortable. I returned to find my little guys very happy and well taken care of. While I was gone, she sent pictures each day. She was also very responsive whenever I reached out. I would definitely recommend Marlene and will be calling on her again in the future.”

10. Angélica S.


“Angélica was an absolutely incredible cat sitter for my cat, Cheech, during my 10-day trip. From day one, her communication was outstanding—she sent regular updates with photos and videos that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Cheech was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable in her presence. What really blew me away was her thoughtfulness. On her final day, she left printed photos of Cheech along with sweet gifts and handwritten notes—such a personal and kind gesture that meant a lot to me. I trusted Angélica completely in my home, and she treated both Cheech and my space with the utmost respect and care. If you're looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely great with animals, I can't recommend Angélica enough. She’s a true gem!”

15. owen m.
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved furry friend to the care of Owen, and I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with their exceptional animal care. From the moment I dropped off my pet, I could tell that Owen was not only highly skilled and knowledgeable about animal behavior and welfare, but also deeply passionate about providing the best possible care for my furry friend. Throughout my pet's stay, Owen went above and beyond to ensure that my pet was comfortable, well-fed, and given plenty of love and attention. I appreciated the detailed updates and photos that were regularly provided to me, which allowed me to rest easy knowing that my pet was in good hands. I also appreciated Owens willingness to accommodate my pet's specific needs and quirks, and their willingness to go the extra mile to ensure my pet's safety and wellbeing. Overall, I highly recommend Owen to anyone in need of exceptional animal care services. Their dedication, expertise, and compassion make them a standout, and I feel grateful to have found someone who I can trust with the care of my furry friend.”

17. Amy W.
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for a range of pups, from playful puppies to wise seniors, through doggy daycare, house sitting, and daily walks. I’m currently the proud mother of a 100-lb, 6-year-old German Shepherd Mix who’s been with me since he was just a few months old. I love long strolls (on the sidewalk), epic games of tug-of-war, and fetch marathons. Meeting new doggie friends is always a highlight of my day. Who enjoys these activities more, me or the dog? We’ll find out! I work from home and will be available to care for your dog as requested. Please note any specific requests regarding your dog's preferred schedule. My dog is spoiled and has plenty of toys to share: feeding toys, edible chews, chew toys, fetch toys, tug toys, the works. I will follow your wishes on how you care for your dog and will send pictures and updates. I welcome the opportunity for you to visit us in advance to ensure you and your pet are comfortable in our home.
