“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Quetzaly to take care of my cat, Mars. From the start, she was incredibly warm, professional, and attentive. She went above and beyond by sending me thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear that Mars felt comfortable and cared for! Thank you again, Quetzaly! 🐾”

“Casey was so detailed when caring for our dogs. She really went above and beyond. You can definitely tell she is a dog person. I’m really glad we found someone trustworthy and reliable to care for our 3 dogs and we’ll be using her when we go away again.”

“As usual Heather was an awesome caretaker for our babies. The care and concern she shows for the girls is always appreciated. We even had a slight issue at our home that was unrelated and she took care of it.”

“Nicole is an incredible caregiver to our dogs. We use her services to feed and let our dogs run around in the backyard when we can’t be there. It would be very easy to sit back during this time, but Nicole takes the extra effort to interact with our dogs and give them lots of love and attention. She even offers to bring her own treats and toys for our dogs. She mailed us printed pictures of our dogs after her first visit. She also brings our packages to the back porch and messages us after we return home to check on our dogs and we get lots of great pictures of them while we’re away. Selfishly, I don’t want to leave this glowing review of Nicole because I want to keep her all to myself. 😀”

“Alyson was amazing with our cats while we were gone for a week. They warmed up to her pretty quickly and she was very thoughtful about making sure they had everything we needed. She even sent us daily photos and check ins for the cats which we really appreciated :) I would totally rebook her for next time and recommend others to do the same!”

“Samantha took very good care of my 4 cats while I was away. They all were happy and healthy when I returned. Everything remained tidy and Samantha was even sweet enough to bring in a package! Thank you Samantha from Simon, Coco, Tsuki and Suly and I.”

I currently have a part time job with only 4-5 hrs a day, my schedule is always different so i can always be available anytime or any day after those few hours.

“My puppy loved her!! She was so flexible knowing I just got her and have been working on training her. They worked on crate manners, got some cuddles, and potty breaks! Will definitely be a returning client :)”


About: I’ve cared for animals ranging from baby bunnies to horses, so I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. While in college, I helped care for a stranger’s baby bunny for multiple nights on many occasions, making sure it stayed healthy, comfortable, and properly cared for. I also have experience around horses, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is to stay calm and attentive with animals. Because of that background, caring for dogs and cats feels very natural to me. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleaning up, and giving pets lots of attention so they feel safe while you’re away. I’ve also been dog-sitting for relatives since I was a child, so being around pets and helping care for them has always been a normal part of my life. I genuinely enjoy bonding with animals and making sure they’re not just watched, but actually cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine as a college student because I currently have a flexible schedule and a good amount of free time outside of classes and studying. I’m able to consistently make time for feeding, walks or playtime, cleaning, and giving attention to pets throughout the day. Having open availability also allows me to adapt to unexpected needs and stay dependable with daily care responsibilities. When I pet sit, I make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific routines the pet is used to. I pay attention to the pet’s behavior and comfort level to help them feel relaxed while their owner is away. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure by keeping doors and gates closed, removing anything unsafe, and maintaining a calm environment for the pet.
About: I've been taking care of dogs for over 10 years, including walking, overnight sitting and checking in to give exercise and feeding. I have a soft spot for dogs! I am available most days, evenings, including weekends, so I have a lot of free time to play with your dogs and take care of your kitties! I have a very large, completely fenced in yard. It has a huge area to run and I don't even mind if your dog likes to dig! It is completely secure, has open space to run as well as plenty of shade if needed.

This was the second time that Quetzaly has taken care of our cats and both times have been fantastic experiences! This time was for a week and we couldn't have asked for a more attentive, engaged sitter. The cats always seemed very happy and the pictures we were sent were great! We would definitely work with Quetzaly again and highly recommend her!

We loved having Deja do the check ins with our dogs. She was very nice and great with the dogs. She communicated & shared pictures! The dogs warmed up to her quickly the first time she came over to meet them. We will definitely reach out again next time we need a check in!

Sam and Emily were wonderful dog sitters for our two dogs, Rocco (Boston Terrier) and Chloe (Great Dane). They kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable pictures, which we really appreciated. They were attentive to important details and communicated everything clearly. We especially loved how patient they were with our Great Dane, who can be a big scaredy-cat. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in their care and would highly recommend them!
We loved Destiny! Specially my dog, Hope and she even made sure to give my cats some love, even though they were not part of the plan! Thanks so much for always keeping me informed and for being so nice to my baby girl! I would 100!! Recommend Destiny! Having her watch my baby has been a piece of mind.
