“Nicole is wonderful. Sent us pictures and updates on our boy everyday. I love the fact that she fosters cats and dogs (which means she’s able to deal with many different doggy personalities) she has a great fenced in backyard which I love. I would definitely leave our boy with Nicole again!”
“We are so happy we chose Michael to watch our dog while we were away. His communication was great, and he sent picture updates which were great because we missed her! When we picked her up she seemed so happy and he had given her a bath which was above and beyond!!”
“Sandra took great care of my Raven. She sent pictures and had great communication. Raven had a great time in her home. I love that she takes just one dog at a time and has a great yard. She treated Raven as her own. Would definitely book again!”

“John took excellent care of my dog, Arrow. We had a meet and greet to make sure this was a good fit, and Arrow stayed with John for a day. Throughout the day John sent me pictures of my boy, having fun, and when I picked him up I could tell he'd spent the whole day happy and engaged. I'll be booking with John again whenever I need a sitter!”

Truly grateful for the wonderful care they provided.”

About: As a psychiatric nurse, I offer gentle, attentive care to people in vulnerable moments. I bring the same calm, respectful presence to the pets I care for. Their feelings and situations are accounted for while I tend to their personal needs. I work part-time on an as needed basis and can work around the schedules of my clients. Available on short notice, including nights, and 12-24 hours' notice is preferred. I have a lightly fenced yard and two friendly dogs. A canine guest may be offered crating for sleep, or they are welcome to bring their own bed. Must be cat friendly. If caring for a pet in a client's home, care will be provided in their own environment precisely as they are used to.
“Jeanne was absolutely amazing! We booked last minute.. Nala had so much fun and she kept us informed the whole time with lots of pictures. We absolutely recommend.. We would absolutely bring Nala back again.. we couldn't thank her enough. She brought her on many walks and loved her as if she was her own!”
“Natalya was wonderful with Charlie, our miniature schnauzer... She introduced him to a doggie door (his first) and he enjoyed playing with Natalya's two lovely dogs... I know he was well cared-for! Communicating with Natalya was easy. A great experience for us and Charlie.”
About: Hi there! My name is Imani and I have a deep sense of love for all animals, especially dogs and cats :) I’ve been working alongside my girlfriend the past three years with dog walking/house sitting and after gaining so much experience and knowledge I decided to start my own profile. I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different breeds and sizes of dogs which gives me the confidence to handle any pup that comes my way! I’m extremely reliable and meticulous when it comes to my work and caring for my clients pets. My main focus is always safety, fun, and providing owners a sense of comfort while their pet is in the hands of someone they can trust. You can count on me to deliver the best job possible every time and give your pets the love and kindness they deserve. I look forward to connecting and working with you and your pets in the future! I currently have open availability and tons of time to give your pet the care and attention they need. I’m very flexible and and can always provide more care incase if an emergency/late flight etc. When providing any kind of pet care in a clients home I always make sure to be respectful of the space and follow instructions attentively. Trust is fundamentally important to me and I promise to follow any guidelines/instructions for your pet you and leave your home cleaner than when I found it.
