“Another 5 star review for Cristina! My cat was happy and well taken care of. My trip was filled with report cards full of sweet messages and cute pictures! I will continue to rebook with Cristina!”


2. Veronica M.

“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!”

15. Matthew M.
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.


16. Samantha P.
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.


17. Mimi N.

“I am grateful for Mimi who took excellent care of my cat while I was traveling. She provided regular updates, sent photos, and ensured my cat was well-fed, happy, and comfortable.”


18. Julia T.

19. Alixeanaly R.
““Alix is an incredible pet caregiver! Her genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does. She’s responsible, attentive, and always goes the extra mile to make sure pets are happy and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, Alix provides a safe and loving environment for all furry friends. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver!””


20. Tavi C.
“Tavi is the best dog walker I have ever had!!! Responsible, respectful and has a real gift with animals. I would recommend him to anyone!”
