“Nicole was amazing with my kitten, very patient and let him warm up to her on his own time. She showed up on time, did everything I asked and was very respectful of my space. 10/10 would use again!”

“Emily was super caring for our 9.5lb Sphynx kitty. She was always on time, very reliable, and my wife and I would recommend her to anyone for their sitting needs! She’s an excellent communicator, we loved the pics she took each visit for us, and her summaries of each visit really made it feel like we were right there! Emily truly loves animals and it shows in how she approaches each visit, and how she gives the needed attention and company for our little loved one. We were so happy to have found Emily and look forward to counting on her again in the near future for all our future sitting needs!”

About: Hello, my name is Amanda and I've been caring for animals almost my entire life! I'm originally from Mexico and grew up around farm animals like goats, pigs, cows ect. I started dog walking when I was 14, then got my first job at a pet boarding facility when I was 16, then started my career in Vet Med at 18 :) I am 25 now and I truly could not see myself doing anything else. I am home the majority of the day, I do have a part time that I go to 3 days out of the week. When I'm at work it is usually for 4-5 hours, and then do class remotely. I am very active and love to go on long walks and hikes if your dog is energetic, but I can also stay at home and cuddle with your fur babies if they are not as active or on the senior side. I live in a 700 square foot 1 bedroom apartment in a quiet neighborhood, I have no pets and I will only take in one pet/ or family at a time unless deemed okay by BOTH pet parents.
“Hilary did an awesome job taking care of my cat while I was out of town for the holidays! She checked in with him and sent me full and detailed updates each time. She also went above and beyond in taking care of my place and making sure that it was incredibly clean when I came home!”
“Diego did a fantastic job dropping in on our husky dog. He was timely, professional, and communicative. Our pup loved him! Diego clearly enjoys his work and loves taking care of animals. He's great!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs over the years including friends and neighbors. I love taking dogs out for walks and hikes! I grew up with a very loving golden doodle who is super playful and cuddley! I can’t wait to care for your fur babies as well! I’m currently working from home with a very flexible schedule allowing me to be available any time your pet needs a check in or a walk! My place is very pet proof and I utilize fenced in dog parks and yards. I can easily crate your dog if that is needed! Pets are supervised at all times!

My golden retriever is gentle and friendly with all animals, but I can easily keep them separate if needed. I create a relaxed, loving space where your pets feel right at home.
“Elena is great! We met her this year, and we are very happy with her service. We could enjoy some trips with the peace of mind that our kitties are in good hands. We use Rover since few years ago and always had to change our sitter because they left the app. Since we have Elena we don’t have to change and we can have a long term relationship.”

“Kyle is so patient and gentle with our skittish sheltie! He takes time with her and she adores playing with him. So glad to have found him!”
Tatiana L.
“Tatiana took incredible care of my 5-year-old goldendoodle, Cooper, for an entire week while I was on spring break. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to handle them. Cooper can be a bit energetic and particular about his routine, but Tatiana took it all in stride. She sent regular updates with photos throughout the day, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Cooper was comfortable and happy - he was his usual playful self in all the pictures! Tatiana made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention and even remembered his specific feeding schedule. When I picked Cooper up, he seemed relaxed and content, which is always the best sign. Tatiana clearly has a natural way with dogs and treated Cooper like he was her own. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her to other dog parents! Thanks again, Tatiana, for taking such great care of our boy! 🐕”

We had a fantastic experience with Courtney. My dog absolutely LOVED her! She was reliable, playful and so caring with our boy. Her updates were so thorough so we always knew how things were going throughout the day which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. Highly recommend her and will use her again in the future!
Ashleigh was amazing with my cat, Stewie! She gave him SO much attention and love. Also, she made sure he was well taken care of giving him lots of food and water! She even cut his nails, cleaned the litter box, and cleaned up the house:) I would recommend her anytime to watch your pet. You know your animal is in good hands with her! Thank you so much Ashleigh for all of your help, kindness, and great communication! I will be booking with her in the future.
Shari took great care of our shy cat Shadow and left our house in perfect condition. She was also fantastic with communication and sending cute pictures. We will happily choose her again the next time we are out of town. If you are looking for a new sitter, don't wait, book now! Thank you Shari!
Andrew handled my dog amazingly. My dog is typically pretty hard to work with if you don’t know him and he took on the challenge and executed perfectly, way better than I expected anyone else to be able to handle my dog. I would highly recommend booking Andrew for any kind of visit he offers because I know he will go above and beyond. His service was greatly appreciated and I will be booking him in the future when he is available. Phenomenal service. 6/5 stars if I could.
As always, Leo did a great job taking care of our dogs while we were in the hospital for a prolonged stay welcoming our newborn. He was extremely flexible on drop-in requests and made our experience just that much better knowing our dogs were being well cared for.
