“Xiu took such good care of our pups while we were out of town recently. They are not used to others coming over and taking care of them but they quickly gained trust in Xiu. She also kept us so informed messaging and sending pictures. It was great seeing how happy they were with her. It all started with a great meet and greet. She was so detailed to make sure she understood who they were and their needs. I hope we can have her come watch them again.”
“Hannah did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was very friendly and accommodating, and sent photos of my pet during her check-ins. I feel better knowing she was here! Will definitely re-book her for my next trip.”
“Vanessa was very caring and patient to our chiweenie who is not easy to trust. She was very communicative with giving updates while we were away. I highly recommend! :)”
“Nicholas took great care of our kitties and sent wonderful updates which were VERY appreciated. It's so nice to come home to happy cats. If you're looking for someone to treat your pets well while you're out of town, you could not ask for a better person than Nicholas.”
“Deidre was fantastic. We were very anxious leaving our older chihuahua and standard poodle alone all day since they’ve become accustomed to being no more than 5 feet away from us since working from home the last 6 years. As soon as we met Deidre for the meet and greet we were put at ease. She’s has a calm, grounded presence that not only the dogs but even our scaredy cats responded too. She came by for three visits and sent full updates and many photos. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Savannah is awesome at communicating. I work a busy schedule and had to communicate with her about an emergency regarding my pups and she was super responsive and came up with solutions to help us the most helpful ways. Great sitter. Definitely recommend.”
“Becky took care of my two cats for a week while I was on a river trip. She also watered my bonsai plants. Everything done just as I would have done it. I pleasure to come home and find everything in good shape.”
“Wonderful experience!! I will definitely use Ashley again and recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated and responded to messages very quickly. My cats were well taken care of. They are pretty social with me and not used to me being gone. So far they are not showing any separation issues and even the shy anxious one is doing great! Ashley stopped in to hang out twice a day and that extra people interaction each day from my past one a day visits has had a big impact. Sad as it is to say it’s almost like they didn’t miss me as much this time :) Thank you!!!”
About: I have taken care of pups of all ages (from puppies to seniors) as well as sizes! I love going on walks short or long, playing, as well as cuddles! I have taken care of pups who require a high level of consistency in their routines and do my best to attune to those needs as reliably as possible, working with and directly communicating with pet parents (as desired). I do dog walking, drop-in visits, as well as overnight stays. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for day time drop-in visits for play time, feeding, as well as walks of varying lengths and time (rain or shine)! I am incredibly respectful of anyone's home that I enter and leave the space as clean as when I entered. I am really intentional about making sure my time with your animal baby is thoughtful, reliable, caring, and safe. Consistency in routine and safety are two values to animal care that I hold.
“We loved Helena, she treated our old dog with such great care. We will definitely be booking with her again and so appreciate her taking care of our dog.”
“Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!”
“Highly recommend! Chloe has been fantastic with my dog and truly cares for her. She is quick to respond and keeps me updated with photos and messages. I have an unpredictable schedule, but she’s always been incredibly flexible and accommodating!”
About: I’ve taken care of my friend’s pets for a bit now. I love taking them on walks, give them food, play with them and give them lots of love and attention.

I treat every pet like family, following their routine closely and always prioritizing their well-being.

paige h.
“Paige is an amazing pet caregiver, and I can't recommend them enough. We have had them watch our pets twice while my family was on an extended vacation and Paige took fantastic care of our pets, was incredibly responsive to our requests and check-ins, and truly cared for our pets like they were their own. Paige watched two elderly pets for us, one dog and one cat, and our cat required a complicated regimen of medication and care to be managed every day. Paige took perfect care of our cat, coordinated with a veterinarian who made frequent visits to our home while we were out of the country, and gave us updates throughout the process. When we returned home from our trip, Paige had left us an breakdown of how the pets did while we were out, any issues they had dealt with, and just overall made my whole family feel like our pets were in great hands while we were not home. Again, can't stress enough how great of a pet caregiver Paige is, your pets will be in good hands.”
