“Chelsea was awesome doing drop-ins on our kitties while we were out of town!! She was reliable and went above/beyond and most importantly our kitties loved her!!”


“I hired Rosa to drop in on my Luna while we were out of town. I was confident in her care because she did not hesitate to ask questions when something came up. I’d much rather have someone confirm with me than guessing and doing something wrong! She was also able to send photos of Luna actually looking at the camera - I have had Luna for 10 years and she rarely looks at the camera as she is very camera shy, so Luna must have really liked her. I would definitely recommend Rosa to anyone looking for pet care!”


“I cannot thank Stephanie enough for her exceptional care of Mimi while we were away. She provided detailed updates, showing genuine concern and attentiveness. When we returned, Mimi was healthy, happy, and well-cared-for. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”


“Leah has done an amazing job with both of my frenchies, Zeus and Odin. She stops in to check on them, and since Odin is still a puppy (12 weeks) it can be a lot at times. Her attention to detail and commitment to treating my pups as if they’re her own really shows.”


“Maria was so thorough and sweet with my cat, Atticus. I felt confident that he was being well taken care of while I was away. She also made sure little things were taken care of around my apartment, like bringing in a package that was delivered while I was gone. I highly recommend Maria and will absolutely be using her services next time I go out of town!”

“Dear Stephanie, I hope this note finds you well. Happy late Mother’s Day! I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful care you provided to my dogs during the past week. Your kindness and attention to their needs truly made a difference, and I can't thank you enough for your exceptional service. It’s such a relief to know they were in such capable hands, enjoying their time and being well looked after. Your dedication and love for animals shine through in everything you do, and I am incredibly grateful to have you. Thank you once again for your outstanding support. I look forward to seeing you soon! Warm regards, Claudia Dabdoub”


“Kiley was amazing! We accidentally sent her to the wrong address and she was very understand and accommodating. We got lots of pictures and our normally shy cats warmed up to her right away!”


“Tori was absolutely amazing with my dog, Benny! She was so sweet, gentle, and attentive. Benny can be a little picky about who he warms up to, but he adored her right away. Tori was incredibly reliable and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was on my trip. I could tell she treated Benny like he was her own, and I’m so grateful for the care and love she gave him. I will definitely be using her again!!”


“Rachel once again did a wonderful job caring for Mia. There was great communication every time she stopped by. I received a note and photos of Mia for every visit!!!!”

“Amia did an amazing job with my Bailey. I will definitely use her services again!”


“Kayleigh provided drop-in visits for our dog, Chef, and she was absolutely wonderful. From the start, she was professional and inspired confidence. During the visits, her communication was excellent, and it was obvious she gave Chef lots of attention and care. We felt completely comfortable having her in our home and trusting her with our furry family member. Kayleigh did an amazing job, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or book her again in the future!”

“The dogs had a great time and were very relaxed when I got home. It was my first time using Rover. We usually board the dogs but my older lab had a broken toe which was still healing. I was worried about him being out of the house. The daily photos were so reassuring to see him and my other dog happy and comfortable. I'm so happy to have better option to boarding.”


About: I've lived with and cared for dogs, cats and various other animals my whole life. I love spending time with and getting to know animals of all kinds! I currently work full time in the culinary industry. My current schedule is 9 am-5 pm or later, Tuesday-Saturday. I am avaliable to visit and care for pets anytime that I am not at work in whatever ways work best for you and your pets. Saturday evening through Tuesday morning would be the only timeframe I am available for active, continuous day time care. At my home, the first step is seeing if the pets I live with get along with yours. After that, my goals for taking care of anyone's pets are the same as taking care of my own - Pay attention to their needs and wants to keep them as safe, comfortable and healthy as possible while we have a great time together.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Joshua look after our dogs. From the first meeting, I knew our furry friend would be in excellent care. Joshua is reliable, caring, and has excellent communication. I came home to a happy and relaxed dogs. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pet.”


“Tamarr once again rescued me after a long-term injury left me sidelined and unable to walk my energetic pup. I so appreciate that she's reliable, always on time, and keeps a cool head in a crisis. She even brought her runner's vest for safety on early morning walks. Plus, Fergs loves her and he's so excited to see her every time. She's a treasure.”
