Veronica has been amazing for our pets. We lost one of our boys this year and our second guy is very wary of strangers. She’s taken the time to try to get to know our cat and he finally came around! We are thrilled and we hope he’ll continue showing his face for Veronica!

Jillian is thoughtful, communicative, and caring. She was gentle with my cat who initially was a little spicy toward her. Because of her patience, he quickly warmed up to her and when I returned seemed very calm and relaxed. Would recommend Jillian to anyone needing pet care!

Vanessa was fantastic with my 90lb pitbull. I was able to communicate clearly with her and she was very prompt with addressing any issues. I’m sure my pup will love to see her again. I will absolutely use her services in the future. Thank you, Vanessa.

I had good experience with Abby watching my kitties over Thanksgiving weekend. She did everything as I asked, no complaints. She replied me in timely manner and was able to watch my cats on really short notice.

Eleni is amazing! I have a husky mix pup and she has a lot of energy and curiosity. Eleni gave her the environment to explore and toys that kept her occupied. Sol came home sleepy and happy. Couldn’t be happier with her service. I know when she spends time with her there she’s gonna have a good time and and not just sit around bored. 10/10 recommend!

5 years of experience

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for my three dogs—Mya (14-year-old Shih Tzu), Maizie (6-year-old Australian Shepherd), and Zhu (13-year-old Black Lab). I’ve grown up with Maizie since she was a pup and have been with Mya and Zhu for five years, handling their care when my family is away. My deep bond with these dogs allows me to understand their unique needs and personalities. I specialize in attentive care for puppies and senior dogs and pride myself on making sure each pet feels comfortable, loved, and safe. As I work toward my CPA certification and prepare to start my accounting job in the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I’m used to balancing multiple responsibilities, and I enjoy taking care of my own pets, so offering pet care services fits naturally into my routine. Whether it’s walking dogs or caring for cats, I make sure to give each pet the attention they need while managing my study and job preparation time efficiently. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I ensure a pet-friendly, secure environment, with plenty of space for pets to relax and explore. I make sure all areas are free of hazards, and I provide fresh water and safe spaces for rest. Whether it’s during walks or while watching pets at their home, I closely supervise them, ensuring they are always safe and comfortable. I also prioritize communication with clients to ensure they trust me with their pets' well-being, offering regular updates and being responsive to any specific needs or concerns.

About: I have years of caring for cats and dogs as we have had 6 dogs and a ton of cats growing up! I have dealt with cats and dogs from birth to elderly. I can administer medication, walk, play with, and ensure the proper care of your furry friends. I am currently a full time student in college for pre-veterinary medicine. I can drop by early in the morning or in the afternoon or overnight. My schedule might vary on certain days of the week but I can work any day of the week. I can stay in the home of the pet to ensure they do not have the stress of a pet daycare. That would include dog-walking, medication administration, ensuring the home is secure, and daily care of the pet. I can either stay over-night or just do drop ins depending on preference's and schedules.
