“Damian did a great job with our crew! I am very picky with how my animals are taken care of. I left detailed instructions for Damian and he followed them perfectly. He was very communicative with me and sent me lots of pictures during his stay. The animals looked happy and comfortable each time he sent pics. I even told him this was my first time l was able to actual enjoy my trip without worrying about our animals. If you are looking for a caring, trustworthy, and thorough person to take care of your pets, Damian is your guy!”

She’s wonderful, and I would definitely use her again!”
About: I am an animal lover with over 20+ years of pet care as a pet parent, as well as previous pet sitting experience and years of experience working with animal rescues. (I'm even certified in Animal Reiki.) I treat each pet sitting job as the unique experience it is, and care for each of your babies with the same love, compassion and caring that I would my own. I have very open availability and flexibility right now because I'm studying virtually and can make my own hours from any location that has Wi-Fi. I have a very large backyard and dog-friendly neighbors. I provide a wide variety of pet needs and have experience caring for many different types of animals, (from dogs and cats to lizards, birds and more). I do have one friendly cat in my home so any animals that boarded with me would need to be cat friendly.
“Another amazing stay with Kelsey! My flight was cancelled! So he rearranged he schedule and stayed with my fur babies another night without a second thought!”
“Jordan was very nice. She left my home in great condition, sent me photos of Rocco as well as updates. Unfortunately, my dog has anxiety that made him sick so we had to end the care early.”
“It’s very nice knowing your pup is being well cared for when you’re away and busy. Safiri had a great time with Lexi and hopeful for more in the future!”
“We were so fortunate to have found Breezy for our weekend getaway. She was absolutely amazing with our doggo. Gideon has severe anxiety, so we are always a bit nervous leaving him for extended periods. But Breezy was truly perfect with Giddy. She was so patient with our sweet boy and cared for him like her own. We were able to enjoy our trip to the fullest knowing she was taking such good care of Gideon. I will most definitely be reaching out to her to rebook in the future. Thank you so much!”
