Negin was wonderful and patient with my slightly demanding cat, accommodating his special care instructions and administering medication. She was patient and flexible, and I was happy to find someone I trusted with my cat and home sitting. Clearly, she loves animals, and works to get to know them and meet their needs. Sent great pics and updates to let me know he was in great hands!

Rachel was great! We have a Saint Bernard and 2 cats and they loved her. She sent us photos while we on vacation and gave us regular updates. This was the first time we have left our pets with anyone, and Rachel was very respectful of our pets and our space. We were very apprehensive about hiring a random person to care for our pets, but the second we met Rachel we were put at ease. Rachel asked us questions about the care of our pets that we hadn't thought about, which gave us the confidence that she knows what she doing. She is amazing and we will definitely rebook with her.

Marissa was awesome with our anxious dog, Toby! She gave us great updates with pictures and I could tell he was having a great time with her. He got plenty of walks and snuggles! She also left our house so clean. We are so glad to have found Marissa - she’s very genuine and caring and we are looking forward to having her watch Toby again!

Chrissy accepted a very last minute request to watch two of my dogs. She took time to do the meet and greet even though it was last minute. Chrissy was wonderful and will definitely recommend. You can tell she has a love of animals and that shows in how she cared for them. She communicated often and send lots of pics while we were away. Thank you Chrissy!

Mary was amazing! She made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her (our first time leaving him with someone besides family). She sent adorable photos throughout the week. She communicated with us prior to, during and after the house sitting. I think our dog Zac wanted to go home with her! We will definitely call Mary again. So glad we found her! Kathy & Brian & Zac

About: I have years of experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for pets, and my clients trust me to treat their furry friends like family. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping every pet happy, healthy, and loved. I currently work as a neuroscience researcher! I maintain a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I did a lot of pet sitting in college, and I have continued to do this not just as a side job, but because spending time with animals brings me joy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I am walking them, stopping by for a check-in, or caring for them in your home, I make sure they’re happy, secure, and well-looked after. I follow your instructions closely, keep a watchful eye on their needs, and treat your home with the same respect I give my own.

We received updates throughout the day and she got my Husky so tired that she doesn’t even want to get up for treats lol. We are working on our pup’s separation anxiety, so it was nice being able to count on Jennifer. We will definitely be booking again. Our pup gives her 5 stars too lol 🐶

The best gift when you can't take your companions on a trip is to know someone will take care of them and give you a peace of mind. Ashley did. She is amazing and is a great communicator. I left behind a 14 year old blob and a 6 years skittish lab and I was worried about the younger pup. It was the 14 year old senior that kept Ashley up at night. Ashley kept me posted on the situation, we kept the communication open to make sure Hunter is ok. Things happened but the best way to know how awesome your substitute is, is to experience their problem solving ability. Ashley got everything under control. I highly recommend Ashley and would love to get her help again. She is definitely more than 5 stars rating.

Our dog and cat were very happy when we returned and Ally was a great housesitter for a few nites. She got the animals out during the day and spent time cuddling them at night. The house was as tidy when we returned as when we left. She was attentive to our dogs needs for walks, even in wet weather, and sent us photos. Thank you Ally!

Great cat sitter from start to finish. Nayzeth followed all instructions perfectly, provided consistent updates, and clearly understands cat behavior as she does have 2 of her own. Boots, who is usually shy, warmed up quickly, which says a lot and everything was neat and tidy when I returned.
