“Mary was the perfect match for our elderly dog: she is patient and caring. Mary has her home and yard set up for every dog's optimal comfort, which we especially appreciated since our dog has arthritis. Ella, our 15 year-old papillon, loved her!”
“Polina took wonderful care of our two dogs while we were on an extended vacation. She sent us photos periodically which was greatly appreciated. She contacted us regarding one of the dogs having redness in one eye and asked what we wanted her to do. We suggested eyedrops, she administered them and all was fine. You could tell she truly loves dogs and we would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“She was great with our dog, providing a safe place and comfort. She also kept us updated and at peace with photos and videos throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend and repeat in the future!”
About: Hi Neighbors, I am a Natural World Enthusiast looking to provide support to pets and their owners in the community. My heart is geared towards animals. I have decades worth of experience caring for dogs, cats and other small pets, from my own to friends and clients in the professional setting. My goal is to provide a sense of physical, mental, and emotional well being for your pet. I am here to help fill in the gaps in your busy schedules and be there. So whether your pal needs a hike, walk around the neighborhood, a feeding, medication dose (dogs and cats) or just a visit, I have your back. We all need movement, attention and praise, pets included. I use positive reinforcement as training method, for all pets at every stage. So whether you have a puppy with some aggression issues, a husky that needs a run, a diabetic cat, fish to be fed and admired, or an stinky old man dog that just needs to be sung to and told he's a good boy I am here to serve. I have two cats personally, they run the household and tell me what to do. They eat twice a day, get their boxes cleaned daily, and petted and played when they decide. Monday- Thursday I am available for pet visits from 10:30-2:30 and again from 5-9 pm Fridays - I am available from 10:30-1:00 for visits Weekends-vary During daycare hours I will always be in the home with your pet unless we are going on an outing together. Play, snacks, walks, songs, and naps will be provided daily. I do have two cats, who will probably stay out of the way, but cat friendly creatures are always preferred.

“Nina was a lifesaver! She was able to schedule a meet and greet, and book our dog for the weekend with short notice. She was very communicative. We received updates, and pictures, which was so appreciated. Our dog seemed very content during his stay with Nina. We are looking forward to using her again!”
“Donna is fantastic! She took such good care of my Australian cattle dog over the holidays. He had a hurt paw which needed to be cleaned constantly and administered medication twice a day. She was great with him. Kept up with cleanings and meds. She will be my first choice whenever I need someone to watch my boy! Thank you so much Donna and Tom! I so appreciate all that you did to take care of him and keep me updated each day!”
“Yakelin is a miracle worker! She was not only available last minute, but was expertly qualified to handle our 2 husky puppies! The most impressive part is that they came back even more well behaved than when we dropped them off! I wish I could leave 100 stars!!!”
“I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care our dog received during our wedding. The sitter did a fabulous job! Not only did they provide a safe and comfortable environment for our pup, but they also kept us updated frequently with pictures and messages. It really helped ease our minds on such an important day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for trustworthy, loving care for their furry friends”
“Jocelyn ha been amazing! She is very responsive and keeps me informed all the way thru each pet- sitting experience with photos and texts throughout the day. She is so loving with my girl and always takes such good care of her! Highly recommend!!”
“Kim was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Daisy. I was worry-free on my trip as I received daily photos of Daisy playing, snoozing, and hanging out with Kim. Kim treated Daisy as her own and I will highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable home for their dog to stay while their away.”
“My puppy is still a little afraid of humans/learning how to be social with strangers…not here, she settled in so quickly. I believe this family is truly wonderful and full of love. You won’t be disappointed. Book them!”
