4. Ruzziliann D.
About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was a kid, my home was my zoo. Based on this, I always had a soft spot for pets and took every chance to take care of friends and family pets. As I grew up, it became my hobby to volunteer in shelters and petsit. I currently am a mom of a Husky, a Shitzu, a cat, and a fish! I would be more than happy to be there for your pet and their needs. Bonus points: As a husky mom, I can be very active. As a cat mom, I know when to give space and let them nap! I work as a Bilingual tutor in a high school in the mornings. However, this summer I will be available 24/7 to attend to your pet's needs. When it comes to my home, I have a big backyard where your pet can have the freedom to run freely and two friendly dogs who are up to play 24/7, however, there's the option of opting for the company if your pet is not comfortable around other pets. When it comes to a client’s home, I'll ensure the safety of the pet and the house, reporting everything in detail and offering extended stay periods.

“i recently left my dog mavis with yvonne and her family and i have no doubt whatsoever that i will continue to seek thier care for mavis in future travels. it would be impossible for me to overstate how impressed and relieved i was by thier overwhelming show of love and kindness towards mavis as well as thier sensitivity towards my concerns. an absolute slam dunk. the only draw back is that when i picked mavis up she was clearly bummed out to leave thier house! what a relief it is to have that peace of mind when leaving your dog behind for a while. its priceless. im so gratefull and i strongly suggest you choose yvonne for your pet sitting needs. its a no brainer!”

11. Carolyn C.
“Carolyn is the best! She is my go-to cat sitter, and a true animal lover. She is always quick to respond to a booking request and sends photos and a cute update when she does drop-in visits for my kitty. She's wonderful and I think my cat might even like her more than me now! 5 stars for sure!”
12. Adriana & Christopher V.
“Absolutely the best care possible. Adriana and Christopher went above and beyond to care for our pet and home. They are extraordinarily loving, considerate and trustworthy and leave you with the comfort and knowledge that everything is being looked after.”
13. Lauren S.
“Lauren has stayed at my home several times and cared for my cats. They seemed to enjoy having Lauren around. They were well-fed, boxes were clean, and they even cuddled with her. She followed all of my instructions and left my home clean and tidy. Cats are generally easy but to have someone they warm up to is a treasure.”
14. Tori V.
About: Patient, caring, and experienced with puppies, seniors, large breeds, and multiple pets. Reliable care with lots of playtime, cuddles, and love, plus daily photo updates to give you peace of mind. I work full time during the day but have plenty of availability most evenings, weekends, and for overnight stays during the week for quality pet care. Pets in my care enjoy a fenced-in yard and a peaceful neighborhood perfect for walks. I have two friendly, socialized large dogs, but if your dog prefers their own space, I can easily keep them separated for everyone's comfort and safety.
15. Jessica L.
“Jessica was a pleasure to meet and work with! She connected with my retriever right away. It’s so nice to have the peace of mind knowing she is trustworthy and reliable. Highly recommend Jessica!!”
16. Sophie W.
“Sophie was amazing, she took fantastic care of our two cats. She left us great updates to let us know how they were doing while we were away and sent us pictures and videos so we could see how happy they were.”
17. Emily G.
“Emily was great! We did a meet and greet before the day of the check-in to make sure Maple (our dog) could warm up and be comfortable with her. She sent us pictures of Maple during the check-in and let us know Maple was behaved on her walk. We will definitely use Emily again when the opportunity presents! Thank you so much Emily!!!”
18. Annette M.
“Annette is awesome!!! She took care of my cats, last minute when I was leaving town and thought I had planned for everything. She saved my situation. Highly recommended!!!”
