Jor-el was a fantastic house sitter! We were out of town for a few days and our two senior pups were in very capable hands thanks to him. I appreciated that he took the time to meet us and the dogs beforehand and asked plenty of questions to make sure he understood our preferences and could provide the best care. While we were away, he sent regular updates with pictures and was very responsive. He spent a lot of time with my dogs and it was clear he enjoyed being around them. When one of my dogs had a medical issue, he was very communicative and even went to the pet store to grab a medication. He was also flexible and more than willing to accommodate our schedule when we changed to an earlier flight. I would totally book with him again and highly recommend him to take care of your pups. Thanks Jor-el!!

Steven was awesome! He stayed at our house for a weekend and took spectacular care of our dog and guinea pigs. He was easy to contact, sent photos often and was flexible with start and end times. He is friendly and professional and left our house in tip top shape! We will DEFINITELY use Steven again in the future!

I’ve used Eric a couple times for walks, house and dog sitting and am very pleased with his professionalism, care of my dogs and flexibility. I have a Great Dane and a Border Collie mutt and they really like Eric and he handles them both very well.

Caroline was super accommodating and listened to all my instructions. We were gone for two weeks and she kept my mind at ease the entire time! Caroline was amazingly attentive, clean, and communicative. She gave love and took care of my three different kitties. She also paid special attention to my sphynx cat that is super high maintenance. I appreciate that she gave me such peace of mind while we were away.

Victoria was such a great pet/house sitter! Our pup can be a bit anxious so we knew boarding wouldn’t be the best fit for him. Victoria made us feel very comfortable by sending us detailed updates and pictures throughout the day. She took great care of our place. Would definitely book her again!

Grace was an excellent cat sitter to our boys, Pax & Pickles, while we were on vacation for a week. She consistently provided updates on how they were doing, including photos and videos, and followed our directions for their care. She also went above and beyond to ask questions about how she could make the boys feel happier and more comfortable in our absence. She was able to give our one cat, Pax, his inhaler twice daily with no issues. Finally, she left our apartment very clean. I would rebook with Grace again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur babies 😊

Wendy did a fantastic job for us taking care of our fur-babies and house while we were out of town. She was very communicative and sent us regular updates and photos showing our pups happy and relaxed. She was proactive in alerting us to an issue before it became a problem (we left a window down in our vehicle!). She left the house very clean and handled our mail and trash collection flawlessly. She followed all of our instructions for the pups including giving medication and gave us a lot of comfort that they were well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely use her again.

There is not enough adjectives to describe how pleased we were to have Jessica sit for our precious pup. Not only did she play endless ball with him( his favorite thing to do) but she took him on at least 3 walks a day. Sonny absolutely loves her and so do we. We received many pictures and videos over the days we were gone. We could truly enjoy ourselves out of town knowing "our baby" was in such good hands. Jessica really cared about Sonny's routines and made sure he was always so comfortable and content. We (and Sonny too) cannot wait to see Jessica again soon. .. and we returned to a spotless home!

Agnes is amazing! She has helped care for my cat many times and is always so wonderful, attentive, and does a great job communicating any updates with me. She is the most genuine animal lover; she not only knows how to properly care for cats and dogs, but truly enjoys spending time with them. Also, she sends the cutest pictures to let you know your fur baby is having a good time!

About: I have two cats whom I care for and a senior dog (crossed over Jan 2024). Their names are Teddy (dog), Missy, and Casey (cats) and they have been in my life since they were babies. I would feed them regularly, take Teddy on walks, bathe them monthly, clip their nails, play with them, and show affection to them. I use treats when they behave well and they have a set time for feeding and walking. I taught my dog new tricks whenever I could. I am patient with my babies and we normally play around until they are tired. I would look out for their cues in what they want and if time is applicable for it. I've taken care of a few senior dogs including my own and I make sure I go at their pace whenever I visit. I have met a variety of amazing cats with their personality and it is always an adventure to spend time with them. I have 1.5+ years of experience with injected medication administration and 5+ years of oral medication administration. I am available every day to leave my home or even stay to take care of other animals and be able to fit pet care into my routine. I enjoy working with animals and make sure they are in the best care when they are with me. When I am unavailable, it usually because I am on vacation or have personal plans made in advance. With great communication with my clients, I will follow what they request and ask any questions if needed. Also, if they require special care, I will offer it. I am reliable and will communicate with the clients if I cannot provide the requested service. I provide detailed updates along with lots of pictures and occasional videos for every visit. Please note - any extra care for anything else (ex. plants, fish/fish tanks, etc.) on top of taking care of your fur baby, there will be an additional negotiable charge.

I can always rely on Ben for helping me take care of Mango. Mango is a 4 year old Belgium Malinois and full of energy. Since Ben is athletic and loves the outdoors, he has been able to satisfy her needs with plenty of exercise. He is fun, loving, and most importantly reliable. I can always trust him with our pet child.
