“Niki was an absolutely amazing sitter for our fur babies. We were in Europe for two weeks and she sent updates daily along with pictures. Our pups were literally sad to see her go when we got back! We recommend her highly and will have her back for any future trips we take.”
“We truly appreciated all of the TLC Shalimar gave our dogs while we went on a week long vacation. This was our first time using Shalimar and she was an amazing find. She provided frequent updates leaving us no doubt our dogs were in good hands. We will be using Shalimar again very soon.”
“My older dogs were definitely well cared for while I was away. Jeremy sent lots of pictures and kept me updated each day. What a comfort to know my "boys" were in the best of hands with Jeremy!”

“Amazing, she saved my life with my last minute need for someone to watch my dog. She professional and kind. Definitely enjoy working with her!”
“Nicole did an amazing job watching my 9 w/o puppy and 5 y/o boy for the day. She was very responsive, worked around her schedule to accommodate me and came over to my house the week before for a meet and greet! She sent me a lot of photos and updates which made me feel so much more comfortable the first time leaving my puppy. A puppy is a lot of work and Nicole rose to the task, I would feel comfortable leaving my puppy with her any time. I highly recommend Nicole if you are looking for a reliable, caring and compassionate person to look after your pets.”
About: I've helped raise family dogs since I was 7 years old, along with walking and pet sitting for friends and other family members as well. I currently work from home so I have a lot of flexibility with my day-to-day schedule, especially with plenty of notice. I'm generally free in the early afternoon on weekdays. I'm very attentive and interactive when taking care of dogs. During the day I take multiple walks, set aside play time to keep them engaged, and give them the attention they need.
“Tink was great with caring for our cat, Kai, as a house sit. Very respectful, responsible, clean, and responsive! She gave us updates often which were so cute - we looked forward to them while away! Kai seemed well looked after and happy when we got back, so we knew Tink gave him lots of TLC. Thank you!! Would recommend and book again!”
“Patricia watched our two crazy dogs for about six days and was great! She communicated daily, sent pics, and the house was in great shape when we got back. She was also open to keeping an eye on our chickens while we were gone which was amazing. Thank you!!”
“Erin is an absolute gem of a pet sitter!! She treated my puppy Stuart like her own—even taught him some new tricks while I was away! I received several updates from her including many videos and pictures. She also house sat for me and had everything tidy and clean upon my return. I cannot recommend Erin enough!!! I’d leave 10 stars if I could! ☺️”
“Diona was great. She took great care of our dog and gave you see constant updates. We never once had to worry about our dog while we were gone!”
“Daniela was fantastic!! She communicated frequently and sent so many pictures of the babies. I have nothing but great things to say about her and her care for our pets”
“Jessica was great with our pups. Very communicative and dealt with our anxiety pup very well. She even baked us cookies, which was so nice of her and an expected treat. We highly recommend her as a reliable, loving sitter and will be reaching out to her again in the near future. Thanks Jess!”
“We are so lucky to have found Kimberly! She is responsible, conscientious, and caring! Our dog Penny was in great hands with Kimberly. I have found a dog sitter for life!”
“Janelle is very professional! She follows instructions to a T, and is also a great communicator. She made me feel like I didn't need to worry about my cats and could just focus on my trip. She really has a good knack for cat care, and she took the time to let my shy cat warm up to her. Highly recommend!”
About: I am an experienced lifelong animal lover! In addition to caring for my own cats and dogs, since age 12 I have pet sat for friends & neighbors and connected with different species including hamsters, fish, tortoises, turtles, rabbits, and chickens. I understand the importance of social connection, mental stimulation, & physical exercise for our furry friends, and different ways to meet these needs based on each individual pet. I have 5+ years' experience of working in veterinary clinics as a receptionist & front desk manager, and I am professionally trained to recognize the first signs of illness or discomfort. I am very comfortable with & capable of caring for pets with medical conditions or injuries, monitoring symptoms, and administering medications by mouth. Working under veterinarians has also taught me about general pet care, basic training, and local resources such as emergency & specialty vets. I am extremely passionate about geriatric pets. I have experience in caring for older cats & dogs and prioritizing their comfort while still meeting their basic needs and providing necessary treatments. I typically work on weekdays, so I am available for visits in the mornings and late evenings. I usually have more free time on the weekends. My work schedule may vary. You are more than welcome to message me anytime to ask questions or clarify your needs :) My main goal is to build trust and rapport with pets. For those who are slower to warm up, I'm willing to play the long game! My experience in the vet field has trained me to be cognizant of potential hazards in the environment. I have experience with crate training.
About: Firm believer that animals can sense when someone has a good soul. I have had multiple interactions with pets whose owners described them as shy or fearful of men, but they warmed up to me fairly quickly. Growing up with dogs I have experience training puppies and caring for seniors. Family and friends have trusted me to walk and care for their pets. I’m currently working full time, but I’m available for drop ins, house sittings, and walks on weekends. Could also accommodate some drop ins and walks after work during the week. Ensuring your pet is comfortable is my top priority. I like to be as prepared as possible. Knowing the pet’s environment and any potential hazards. Identifying pet specific needs such as unique behaviors and medications. Having an emergency plan such as knowing the nearest vet or hospital.
“Jacki was wonderful with our two dogs! She was a great communicator and sent daily pictures/videos. I dogs were in great hands and we will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I found my love for working with animals during my year and a half at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, and it’s been such a rewarding journey! Growing up with dogs, cats, and even some exotic pets really fueled my passion for taking care of our furry (and not-so-furry) friends. I enjoy nothing more than showering them with attention and affection—they truly deserve all the love in the world! I take care of my pets every day which includes brushing them, making sure they have water, feeding them, and walking them if the weather is appropriate for them I believe it’s important to spend some quality time with both the client and their beloved pet before we begin. This allows me to get to know their home environment and observe the pet’s behavior, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and safe. I genuinely want to make this experience as positive as possible for both the pets and their owners. If needed, I’m more than happy to stay overnight, or I can return in the morning to spend the day with your fur baby, providing the care and companionship they deserve.

8. Brody G.
“Brody has always loved animals from a very young age. He has a dog himself who is very well taken care of with daily play times and walks. We have a dog who is very bashful around new people and since Brody doesn't live with us he was a new person for him but of course he fell in love with him very quickly. He's also a very trustworthy person when it comes to trusting your possessions and home.”

17. Chrissy C.
“Coming from a household of people who consider their pets to be their children: Chrissy is the best cat sitter I could ask for! She’s watched my pets for the past 3 years, anytime my family goes out of town. I know she can handle anything that comes her way, including administering medication to both of my cats and feeding crickets to our red eyed tree frogs! She’s attentive, and good at communication. She never fails to reach out if there’s a question or concern, and I always have complete ease of mind because of her. She follows every instruction given (no matter how complicated they sometimes can be), and always spares time to be with my fur babies!”
18. Austin L.
“Austin is an amazing and loving pet caregiver! He is friendly, responsible, reliable, and very eager to care for pets. He has a huge heart for animals and will treat every animal as if they are his own so you can trust that your animals will be in great hands with him! He is really great with my dogs and it shows because they really love him and have so much fun around him. They look forward to every visit they get with him. I would highly recommend Austin to anyone looking for a passionate pet sitter who will provide love and care to your pets!”
