Lawrence is incredible! He took such wonderful care of my cat Gidget over several nights, and I felt completely at ease knowing that she was in such good hands. Lawrence consistently communicated - he regularly sent me photos and videos, which not only reassured me, but also showed how comfortable and happy Gidget was. It’s clear Lawrence truly cares about animals, and treats them like his own. I’ll definitely be reaching out again for future stays, and would highly recommend him!

Though it was Michelle second time of sitting Katie and Maya, she was able to pet Maya who usually does not show up and allow her own family members to pet her. Great Job! I would recommend and use her again.

Mond was so communicative, on time, sweet to my fur baby, and made sure to take plenty of pictures with detailed notes about each visit. My fur baby Lucy never usually comes out for sitters so it was surprising to see her warm up to Mond so quickly. You will not regret booking with him!

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life—I’ve cared for all kinds of pets and love every tail wag and sloppy kiss. I’ve walked and watched dogs for friends for years, and now I’m here to give your pup the same love, attention, and fun. Rain or shine, cold or hot—I’m always ready with a leash, treats, and a smile. You can count on me to show up on time, stay prepared, and make your dog’s day I’m currently a student enrolled in an online master’s program, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available to work mornings through evenings, Monday through Friday and Sundays. Saturdays tend to be a bit busier for me, but with advance notice, I’m happy to accommodate requests on that day as well. Your dog’s safety is my top priority on every walk. I always use secure leashes and harnesses,(please let me know if you do not have one in advance, I can provide it), stay alert to our surroundings, and avoid unsafe or overly crowded areas. I never walk dogs off-leash and always follow any instructions you provide. You can trust that your pup will be safe, loved, and well-cared for every step of the way.

Kaitlyn is awesome! She took care of my 3 cats. 2 of them need daily thyroid meds. She had no issues giving them their medications. She sent updates and pictures at every visit. I would definitely recommend her. We will be using her next time we go away and I don’t have to worry about being away from my babies!

I couldn't be happier with how things turned out with Shang. From the very beginning, he was wonderful with communication and very understanding about my hectic schedule (and my embarrassingly messy apartment). Even though I wasn't able to show him around before I left, he still followed all the instructions I left for him, and had a few really great suggestions of his own! My cat is very shy, so he didn't come out, but when I got home, he seemed in the best spirits of any trip I've taken, and I know it was because he was taken such good care of. It was a stressful few weeks, but knowing that I had someone like Shang to take care of my cat while I was away was a huge relief! I'd happily have him back any time!

Eugene was fantastic, he was quickly responsive and able to help us out even at the last minute. He has great attention to detail, and took extensive notes and pictures to make sure the feedings and quirks for our three pets were taken care of. He kept us up to date and posted pictures of every feeding. We would highly recommend Eugene for your pet watching needs.

About: One day in 3rd grade, I had come home from school to the surprise of a life time: my parents had adopted two of the sweetest puppies - a Siberian Husky and a Yellow Lab. It was the best day of my life! From then on, Skye and Sandy, respectively, were my absolute best friends. I had the best childhood with them, and I learned a lot about responsibility from them. I took them on daily walks and played with them in the backyard. When they were sick, I had the magic touch (a slice of cheese to hide the pills in)! Sandy and Skye have both since passed, and I haven’t been able to have another pup of my own yet. I have, however, been a regular dog sitter for my loved ones. I LOVE the time I get to spend with these dogs, and I would love to give my time and attention to your pup as well! The first sight I see in the morning is my cat standing over my face waiting for breakfast. I feed both of my babies before heading to work, whether to the office or working from home. If I’m working from home, I take time to get some activity in with my cats, using lasers and toys to get them moving and awake. If I’m in the office, I’ll do this when I get home from work. After this I’ll spend some cuddle time with them and maybe put some Cat TV on YouTube for them. Then it’s time for dinner included with supplements, like salmon oil. I end the night cuddling in bed with the cats and hoping that tonight there are no 3AM zoomies! When I dog sit for my family’s dog, Otis. I walk in the door and immediately am greeted with multiple kisses and lots of love. I obviously embrace the love and okay with Otis for a little bit, making sure to throw him his favorite red ball. Then, I might sneak him a little treat for a great playtime. When I feed him I make sure to carefully measure his food according to his owner’s instructions, as well as make sure he has a full bowl of water after a tiring playtime. When it’s time for his walk, we make sure the weather outside is suitable for him to be out there, and go on our way! Otis loves to greet the neighbor’s and their dogs as we go. I ensure that he is going in the appropriate places and always thoroughly clean up after him. When we get home, he loves to snuggle on the couch while I watch New Girl, or whatever reality show I’m currently binging! I make sure to be attentive to all of his needs and make him as comfortable as possible!

About: I have experience working with multiple dogs of all sizes through family and friends, from small feisty Poodles, Corgi's, to large German Shepard breeds, I can handle all the usual needs you may need from keeping them busy and happy to the usual walks and strolls that every dog needs! For the current summer, I am usually avaiable for dog walking or drop in visits during the weekdays at 7AM to 3PM. I can hash out details if needed for certain days I may not be available. Stone floored backyard that my corgi loves to play fetch in, and indoor life is quiet but plenty of room for playtime, either with me or my cat.

Kathryn is a great pet carer, she did an amazing job taking care of Oreo during our trip. We really appreciated the updates and photos from her drop-in visits. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Oreo was in such capable and caring hands. We will definitely be booking again!

Alyssa helped with caring for my dog, a yellow lab. She was very attentive to feeding and walking her on schedule as well as playing with her. She was always excited and eager to spend time with her and the dog was equally excited. I felt so comfortable when she was caring for my fur baby.

Hannah has helped take care of our rescue dog Duke for 4 years. She has shown care and compassion for him as he sometimes deals with separation anxiety from me and my husband. She has been responsible, reliable and is knowledgeable about animal behavior and training. She has excellent communication skills and I would recommend her to take care of anyone's beloved pet.

I've known Gary for years, and I can confidently say he’s one of the most caring and responsible people I know, especially when it comes to animals. His cat, Rocky, is a perfect example. Gary is incredibly attentive and aware of every little detail that keeps Rocky safe, whether it's avoiding certain fruits or being cautious about household plants. He’s extremely patient and truly understands what it means to care for a pet. He also takes care of his dog, Marley, and is her primary walker. He’s sent me photos of her that have made me laugh out loud in the middle of my workday, which makes me smirk just thinking about it. Any pet would be lucky to have him around. Seriously!

Michelle was great dropping in to care for our 5 year old tabby Willie. She kept us informed with daily pictures and updates. It gave me peace of mind knowing that Willie was well taken care of. And Willie loves her!

Josue took excellent care of Winnie, he kept us in the loop each day to how she was doing and sent photos and videos of her daily. He made sure to play with her and give her all the attention she needs. We are so grateful to him and will definitely be rebooking!

Amanda and Josh are the best cat sitters ever! My super shy cat loves them and they love her back. I never worry when I am away because I know Amanda and Josh treat her as if she were part of their own family of fur babies.

Judy has helped me countless times with Tiger. She is thoughtful and caring, and took great care of Tiger. This time I’m gone longer so I asked Judy if she could take Tiger out for a walk. She has no problem with it and took pictures when they were out. Tiger is happy and I’m thankful for Judy’s great work!

Emma is a wonderful sitter! We felt at ease being away knowing our cat was in her care. She was very communicative. Our cat warmed up very quickly. She took extra care of our little guy with some extra needs (special diet, medication). Highly recommend Emma. Will be booking again for our next trip!
