Jasmine was such an energetic and patient sitter! I needed to find a sitter last minute for a weekend getaway and Jasmine was prepared to be flexible as well as thorough. Luna 🌑 is a shy kitty and he needs lots of patience and good energy, which Jasmine easily demonstrated early on! I also appreciated how communicative she was and how understanding she came off. Luna and I are so grateful for your love and care! 🩶

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Regina K. as a pet sitter for my cat, Layla, while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Regina followed all of the instructions I left for her perfectly and took great care of Layla during each home visit. She was very nice and pleasant to communicate with, which made me feel at ease while I was away. Regina made sure Layla had her treats, wet food, and fresh water, cleaned the litter box thoroughly, and even spent time playing with her—something that meant a lot to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Layla’s well-being and comfort. I really appreciate Regina’s help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Regina!

Such a great spirit and understanding of our dogs needs and temperament. She went above and beyond, playing basketball with him in the cold and recognized when he was stressed. She was great in cleaning behind our dog and following instructions to T in locking up the property.

Melanie is an absolute gem! She went above and beyond to accommodate my last minute request and followed my instructions perfectly. Her extra care and gentleness towards my dog Daisy, who was recently sick, was exceptional. Daisy absolutely adored her and she even extended her visit to spend additional quality time with her. I will definitely be booking with Melanie again!

About: I’ve been around all types of dogs and taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. Neighbors , family , and friends have relied on me to take care of their sweet best friends and babies. I had my own best-friend who was a Dacshound , who I adored and loved , sadly he passed on June 30th , 2022. I loved him with all of my being. I love all animals , big and small , and treat all animals with respect, patience , and love. I am capable of doing anything in the afternoon after 12 and nights like 7pm. I love dogs and once you become a client of mine, we can figure out a schedule that works best for the both of us. If I was to take care of your companions at your home , I would follow all the rules you have for your dogs! I would feed them the way you like them to be fed and at the time you recommend to feed them, I would play with them , clean after them as need be and wouldn’t scold them for little things that really dogs can’t control haha. I would take care of them just as if they were my own ! Lots of love and affection. I am able to take care of dogs who aren’t so friendly also. I’ve had experience in walking a dog who wasn’t so friendly , but after some time , he learned to trust me and I learned how to get him ready for a walk without getting bit haha. I am capable of putting your dog in a crate if need be . Giving certain medicines your dog may need, like the ones that you have to hide in their food. Im not afraid to do any oral medicine only if the dog is comfortable allowing me to administer.

About: Animal care is my biggest passion. I’ve recently graduated college with a degree in biology, where I often volunteered at shelters for animal care experience. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, and even birds and turtles for as long as I can remember. My friends and family know they can rely on me when away for vacation to drop in and play with their pets, keep their pets company, and walk and feed their pets. I don’t think I’ve ever met a pet that doesn’t like me! So I’m so excited to help those in my community with animal care. I work on call only part time, so I’m available most hours of the week and some weekends. I would prefer early mornings or evenings, but I am ready for anything! In my clients home the first thing I do, in the case of a dog, is take them for a walk as it might’ve been hours since they’ve last been out. Sometimes I will let them in the yard if it is late at night, but I find longer walks will use up all their energy so they can nap well until the next time I pop in. Then it’s time for food and water refill, which if they’re reluctant to eat, I will wait with them to make sure they at least eat some. Then it’s play time/enrichment time where I try to get the last of their energy out. If I’m watching cats, I’ll feed them first and as they eat is my time to clean out the litter box. Cats also need tons of play time, so after they eat I’ll find any toys to keep them entertained for my time there. The hardest part for me is leaving them!

Leaving another five star review to thank Dayanara for her services. She did an amazing job giving us peace of mind for our two cats while we were away for a couple weeks on vacation. She double checked our automated water and feeder were always topped up, and went out of her way to make sure our automatic vacuum was seated properly in it's dock. I haven't trusted anyone else on any platform to watch my cats for the past few years and we're beyond lucky she was still available this past month. Thanks Dayanara!

About: Since adopting my own pup in 2022, I’ve fallen in love with caring for dogs of all kinds—from energetic puppies who need playtime galore to sweet seniors who prefer gentle cuddles. I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, mastering the art of patience, routine, and tail-wagging fun. Working from home means your dog gets constant companionship, potty breaks on schedule, and plenty of affection. Your furry friend will be treated like family! 💕 Since I work from home full-time on weekdays, I’m always around to give your pup constant love, playtime, and frequent potty breaks (my own dog goes out 4+ times a day, so yours will get the same care!). On weekends and days off, I love staying active—whether it’s leisurely walks, park trips, or cozy downtime, I adapt to your dog’s energy level. From high-energy pups to laid-back seniors, I make sure every dog feels at home while sticking to their routine. Let me know your pet’s needs, and I’ll keep their tail wagging! My dog-friendly loft is a cozy, secure space wherever pups are welcome on furniture (including the bed!)—because let’s be honest, snuggles are non-negotiable. To keep things clean and safe, I wipe all paws after walks and tidy up any messes immediately. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs, whether it’s puppy-proofing for curious noses or senior-friendly accommodations. Rest assured, your pup will enjoy a happy, hygienic, and hazard-free stay!

About: Hi ! My name is Jasmin. I am a loving, kind and practical person. Safety and health is very important to me. I will take care of your fur baby with the same love and respect as they deserve. I adore all kinds of animals, they are the listeners of the world. I offer puppy play time, help with medication, overnight dog stay, treat training, belly rubs, fun walks to dog parks and much more ! I am a very calm person with a ton of patience. I would say I give animals the love and nurturing they need. I care for animals more broader than cats and dogs as well. I also have a ton of toys and fun treats I love to share amongst your fur baby. I am always available when needed, just give me a quick call or message ! I have an open schedule which allows me to have more availability for taking care of fur baby’s. My schedule does not conflict with this. Depending on the specifics of each animal. I will care for all fur baby’s on their parents preferences. The basics of care will include healthy physical activity, treats, hugs and cuddles, mini training session of : sit, talk, roll over etc. Safety is very important for your fur baby and myself. I approach every new client slowly, with a treat and being able to learn the specifics of your fur baby.
