Recently, we had to put our beloved cat, Jasette down, who Adriana had taken care of along with our two dogs. This time when she dropped in for visits with our girls, she surprised us with a lovely arrangement of flowers and a handmade sketch of our cat. It was a very unexpected but welcome gift after some difficult times.

We so appreciated having Sierra available to walk and feed our dog after last minute plans to leave town. Sierra was responsive, on time, and provided updates after each visit. We have already booked Sierra for our next trip out of town.

Jamie is fantastic! She is an excellent sitter as well as trainer. She is currently helping us with both. She has a gift with anxious dogs and is very knowledgeable about behavior as well. She educated us and collaborated with us on a plan for my dog that is very picky about which humans he trusts. Overall, she is very helpful, kind, and in tune with the specific dog’s needs!

Cori was absolutely wonderful taking care of our two cats while we were away for a 10-day trip. She sent updates and photos throughout and was very responsive to messages as well. Within a few days, she even coaxed our shy cat to come out and get cuddles from her every day. She was a fantastic pet sitter!

Isabel is the best, we had a sad situation made worse, my mom passed and we had to ask her to watch her kitty in a different location. She was so great about it and she was amazing with my mom’s cat. The cat is actually so much more social now, so we were able to find her a new home!! Thank you so much, I’ll always recommend you

Tyler did an excellent job looking after our kitties and guinea pigs while we were on vacation. He communicated often and followed all care instructions. He even got our shy kitty to warm up to him very quickly, which is a feat in itself. Everything was in perfect order when we returned. Highly recommend!

About: I own a two and half year dog. Her name is Cacahuete, healthy mud dog. I am familiar of daily task. Currently, she is with my husband in different state. I am able to work from home when I need to. Pretty flexible for the request from the owner. Since the owners are not going to there, they(your pet) going to feel the stress. I would like to try my best to fit their typical schedule. It will help them on reduce unnecessary stress. I think by staying at the environment they are familiar with, this will definitely help ease their anxiety and gain the trust of who I am.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including feeding, providing fresh water, and ensuring they get regular exercise through walks. I have looked after my friends dog on multiple occasions, taking responsibility for their daily needs and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m actively looking to walk dogs as I enjoy walking them during the evening time. I’m a teacher so during school year, lm available 3 pm and onwards I am only offering dog walking service since I live in an apartment, it will be very difficult to take care of the dog here.

We highly recommend Margaret. She did a wonderful job looking after our cats and guinea pigs while we were away. She went to great lengths to get our picky cat to eat, which we very much appreciate. She was responsive and always sent photos and updates. When we got back they were happy and clearly well cared for. I hope she is available to watch them again the next time we are out of town.

We cannot recommend Zuzu enough! She has been watching our beloved Foxxy-Freyja for a few years and consistently goes above and beyond. When it began, our girl was going through chemotherapy and required medications and Zuzu did wonderful with her. Not only does she do an amazing job with care, playtime, and providing detailed updates and pictures, but she also helped out by bringing in packages while we were away. It is such a relief to find someone so trustworthy, professional, and genuinely caring. Foxxy-Freyja absolutely adores her, and we can finally travel worry-free. 5 stars!😻😻😻😻😻
