Natalie tackled the task of watching our 5 animals in our home while we were on vacation. I’m a bit of a nervous wreck when it comes to our fur babies but I fully trust Natalie and can tell she absolutely loves animals! She did a wonderful job and we will absolutely be rebooking her for our next trip!

She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!

Mariah was awesome! From the moment she met our dog I knew she would be a good fit—Stella was at ease and loved her. You could tell from the pictures she sent that Stella and the cats were happy and comfortable and that she was taking great care of them. 10/10 would definitely book again!

Connor was great with our cat and small dog while we were away. Our cat is typically a loner but seemed to have bonded with him while we were gone which is impressive!! We got lots of photos daily and he communicated well. Thanks CK!

My first time using Ericka to watch my dog Toby and I'm very pleased with the job she did. She sent me pictures of Toby each day which I enjoyed receiving. Toby requires eye drops 5 times per day so it's a bit of work to care for him. Also pleased that the house was in good order when I returned. I hope to use Ericka again in the future.

About: I’ve grown up with animals and pet sat since I can remember. I’ve helped train puppies, care for elderly dogs, and have provided the same love and care for all of the furry friends that I would for my own! I am comfortable around all dogs and cats and am willing to adapt and learn how to best take care of your animal. I work a typical 8-hour day in the city, but am happy to work around my work schedule to give your animal the care that they need. I follow directions, put things back where I found them, and don’t go looking in places I wasn’t invited. I will make sure everything is clean and tidy before I leave!

This was the second time we've worked with Heather and we look forward it every time! She provides detailed updates throughout the day, checks in when necessary, sends the cutest pictures of our dog, and most importantly, makes our dog feel loved while we're away. She handles working with an elderly dog with grace, especially given his medication schedule and separation anxiety. We know our dog is in fabulous capable hands while we're gone. She's a delight to have as a house guest and goes above and beyond expectations. Thanks for your help, Heather!

This was our first time having Patrick watch our dogs and stay at our home, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the start, Patrick proved to be reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring. He took great care of our dogs—not just covering the basics, but making sure they were comfortable, happy, and sticking to their normal routine. It gave us a lot of confidence knowing they were in such good hands. He also did an outstanding job taking care of our home. Everything was kept clean, organized, and exactly how we left it. It’s not easy trusting someone in your space for the first time, but Patrick made it completely stress-free. Communication was excellent throughout. We received regular updates and photos, which made it easy to relax while we were away. For a first experience, this couldn’t have gone any better. We highly recommend Patrick and will absolutely be using him again in the future.

Matthew was simply wonderful watching our home and four pets for 6 days! We had never been able to go on a long trip until now. Matthew went above and beyond and kept us updated daily with photos and extras. We are so grateful for his kindness and ease with our babies. We highly recommend him and will use his services in the future.

Valerie was fantastic!! She took such wonderful care of our dog during the week we were traveling. She took him on hikes, brought him a new toy to explore, and sent frequent updates, including the cutest videos of his daily activities. Valerie was a great communicator and incredibly responsive. She took great care of our house and left it better than she found it (our dog bowls were sparkling!). We highly recommend her!

Lyla went above and beyond for our two dogs (mini poodle and pitbull mix) while we were away for a long weekend. She came to meet them a few days before we left and took them on a walk so they could acclimate to her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, took them on two walks per day, did tricks with them, and kept them safe and entertained the whole weekend. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!!

Alexis was absolutely amazing and we will be booking her again! Our older dog takes a little time to warm up to someone usually, but he warmed up to Alexis immediately from the meet and greet - he’s a very good judge of character. Our puppy Millie was so comfortable with her that she slept in her arms, when she doesn’t even do that with us usually. Alexis played with both of them and sent plenty of photos and videos. She left our home clean and is just the greatest to communicate with. She is very responsive and thoughtful. Book her if you can!

I was able to enjoy an extended vacation knowing that my cats and home were in good hands with Akira. The cats were immediately drawn to him when he came for a pre-visit and I could tell they were content when I returrned home. I appreciate that Akira provided regular updates and also took care of watering plants, bringing in mail, taking out the trash, etc. i will hire Akira again if he's available the next time I travel.

David was not only great with my dog Lou he didn’t miss a beat when I had to change her care instructions at the last minute. Before his stay, Lou injured her leg and needed to wear a cone and be carefully watched. David went above and beyond what he originally expected and I appreciated it so so much
