“Such a kind person and an animal lover to the core. Shinji loved having Maria over! She also gave love to our cat even though he didn't need to be taken care of. I can't recommend her enough, she clearly knows what she is doing and loves the animals that she sits. Will definitely keep in touch if we go travel again. Thank you so much!”

“Jessica was awesome, she went above and beyond taking care of my cat, I even ended up having an issue with a some water backing up in the sink that fell on the kitchen and she was kind enough to help me and take care of it while I was gone. Great experience will for sure book again.”
“I have 2 dogs, one is a very fearful dog so he is hard to handle. Ben did a fantastic job. He was able to get them both outside for their potty breaks, something I wasnt sure he could do. He sent daily updates and photos. Its nice to go away and know even my difficult pup is well cared for.”
“Virginia was very attentive and professional throughout the whole process, and provided very detailed updates on my cat’s care and behavior. She made both of us feel at ease.”
“Zach took great care of our animals while we were away for a week. He was extremely flexible when I accidentally booked the wrong dates initially and needed to change the booking last minute. He communicates well and took great care of our cats, chickens, and fish!”
About: I provide loving, personalized care for your pets, including daily walks, cuddles, and companionship. I have experience with shy dogs, seniors, and pets who may be nervous around new people. I take the time to earn their trust, always moving at their pace. Whether it’s a playful walk or a quiet visit, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for—just like they would with you. I am currently working full time 8-4:30 but will be going part time in September. I can do all times of day between 6am and 10pm, making sure I spend ample time with your pet(s) and any care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their regular routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, and any needed medications. I make sure they get plenty of attention—whether that means active play, mental stimulation, or simply sitting with them for company. I also keep the home tidy and secure, and I always respect the space as if it were my own. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their family is away.
“Yeay!! Thank you so much!! I’m sure he was happy to see you! He does not like being home alone but mom & dad need to work, LOL!! I’m sure he was happy to get his “after walk treat too!!””
“Natalya was an amazing choice to care for our 5 cats. She updated me and sent pictures daily. She also has so much experience with animals that she truly made me feel at ease while away. Thank you so much Natalya!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals. They mean everything to me. I have two dogs right now and a cat but I’d have an animal kingdom if it was feasible. Even the most stubborn pets seem to soften up to me. I truly think I’m an animal whisperer 🤫🤷♂️ I work Sunday to Wednesday as a counselor for mentally challenged teenagers. Also a full time college student studying social work. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are my full days off but my work days can also be discussed. I am very flexible so whatever your pet needs or wants then I’m sure I can make it happen. Walks, bathroom, food, sleep, or whatever it is I can make it work.
“Danielle did a great job caring for our 20 year old cat, she was able to give him his oral medicine twice a day with no problems, she gave him a lot of attention and love , she was also kind enough to feed my outdoor birds and bring in our mail. We highly recommend her and we will use her again in future trips away from our fur baby.”
“Carol managed my two dogs and their visiting cousin like a pro. They are a handful to walk together so I suggested just letting them run around the backyard but she want to give them more so she walked them separately in the neighborhood. And the pictures were great.”
About: All my life I’ve been a huge fan of dogs of any size or breed! I have dog sat for friends and family in past and they’ve all said I’m one of the only people they trust with their pets. I am currently looking for another job. Just came back from Florida so I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment to make sure your pet is never alone. I would treat your dog as if they were my own. Your pets would never feel alone and they would have my undivided attention to make sure they got the care they need and the friend they want.

I feed, bath, brush fur and teeth, walk/let them out to the bathroom. For the pets in my house and I will treat the clients pets as I do my own pets.
