“Danieris and Julian are a wonderful and kind couple. They welcomed my dog and communicated regularly about his stay and questions. I would absolutely use them again.”
“During time with family and mourning we are thankful that Shelisha was able to watch our pup. I normally am very communicative with sitters while he is under their watch but was unable to due to many reasons. Thank you for making sure our pup was cared for and keeping him safe, which is all we could ask for. Thank you for your help!”
“Kyli took very good care of our boy Rico and made sure he had tons of fun. We appreciated all the videos and updates she sent us while we were away they helped us have peace of mind while this is the first time we were away from him for this long. Definitely recommending and booking again when we need someone to watch him.”
“There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience was. First let me start by saying my initial dog sitter Canceled on us the day before our flight to Columbia. Due to safety reasons because of the hurricane. I contacted Angie and she immediately responded and we did a meet and greet right away. My dogs loved her and family instantly. She provided multiple daily updates and tons of photos which will be printing out. Lol Leaving your dogs with someone such last min is never easy but Angie surely made it very smooth! Our dogs came home happy to see us but I can see they are sad to have left. If you need a sitter who is response, caring, loving and will treat your dog as thier own then this is your person! Recommend 1000% .”
“Best dog sitter in the app. She engaged with me the whole time I was away in my trip and updated me on my pet by sending pics and messages daily. Can’t thank you enough. I appreciate the service.”
“Fantastic. I will continue to book through Angelica. She went above and beyond in every way imaginable. Plus she only houses non-reactive dogs, so the pictures and videos (there were plenty) were of him socializing and having some much needed playtime. If you have the option choose Angelica she is the perfect sitter.”
About: As an experienced and trustworthy dog caregiver, I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. With a strong background in dog nutrition and firsthand experience caring for a special-needs pup of my own, I understand the importance of patience, compassion, and individualized attention. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or specialized care, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently working at home so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pup! I will make sure to stick to your pups routine. In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe, loving environment where they’re treated like family. I will send daily pictures and updates. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions. I have 2 friendly pups that your pup can play with!
“This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!”
“Vanessa and her family did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby Fazo (husky) not only did she send lots of pictures, videos and updates she also informed me of any mood changes on my baby. I felt very at ease and relaxed knowing he was with the best care. I highly recommend her to anyone who has to leave their fur babies for a couple days. I will definitely be rebooking her.”

“Cherisse was a home away from home for my three dogs. They loved her and her pups! She was extremely attentive and responded to all of my questions almost immediately. She also sent high quality pictures and videos every day so I could see their beaming smiles?. I could not have asked for a better sitter and will most definitely rebook!”
“They were amazing to my kitty Buggy, super understanding of all my crazy asks and nervous jitters leaving my friend behind. They sent update pictures and even went to the store to pick up more food and treats because I had miscalculated how much she would need. I would definitely use them again.”
“Karla was so great with my Nelly! I received texts and pictures throughout the stay letting me know how she was doing which I really appreciated. Nelly must have had a great time because she was worn out from playing the entire first day she was home. I feel very comfortable leaving her with Karla again and am already looking to book Nelly’s next visit!”

“Margot loves her walks and time with Kylee! So thankful we found an awesome doggie walker! I feel guilty for being unable to do long walks so it is amazing knowing Margie’s having a great time when we’re apart!”

“Danieris and Julian are a wonderful and kind couple. They welcomed my dog and communicated regularly about his stay and questions. I would absolutely use them again.”
“During time with family and mourning we are thankful that Shelisha was able to watch our pup. I normally am very communicative with sitters while he is under their watch but was unable to due to many reasons. Thank you for making sure our pup was cared for and keeping him safe, which is all we could ask for. Thank you for your help!”
“Kyli took very good care of our boy Rico and made sure he had tons of fun. We appreciated all the videos and updates she sent us while we were away they helped us have peace of mind while this is the first time we were away from him for this long. Definitely recommending and booking again when we need someone to watch him.”
“There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience was. First let me start by saying my initial dog sitter Canceled on us the day before our flight to Columbia. Due to safety reasons because of the hurricane. I contacted Angie and she immediately responded and we did a meet and greet right away. My dogs loved her and family instantly. She provided multiple daily updates and tons of photos which will be printing out. Lol Leaving your dogs with someone such last min is never easy but Angie surely made it very smooth! Our dogs came home happy to see us but I can see they are sad to have left. If you need a sitter who is response, caring, loving and will treat your dog as thier own then this is your person! Recommend 1000% .”
“Best dog sitter in the app. She engaged with me the whole time I was away in my trip and updated me on my pet by sending pics and messages daily. Can’t thank you enough. I appreciate the service.”
“Fantastic. I will continue to book through Angelica. She went above and beyond in every way imaginable. Plus she only houses non-reactive dogs, so the pictures and videos (there were plenty) were of him socializing and having some much needed playtime. If you have the option choose Angelica she is the perfect sitter.”

She also sent high quality pictures and videos every day so I could see their beaming smiles?. I could not have asked for a better sitter and will most definitely rebook!”
“They were amazing to my kitty Buggy, super understanding of all my crazy asks and nervous jitters leaving my friend behind. They sent update pictures and even went to the store to pick up more food and treats because I had miscalculated how much she would need. I would definitely use them again.”
“Karla was so great with my Nelly! I received texts and pictures throughout the stay letting me know how she was doing which I really appreciated. Nelly must have had a great time because she was worn out from playing the entire first day she was home. I feel very comfortable leaving her with Karla again and am already looking to book Nelly’s next visit!”
“We needed a new Sitter for our sassy girl but we are super picky! Krystal checked all of the boxes for us and Willow was right at home with her family. The home is clean and bright and the fenced yard is a plus for our frisbee-loving girl. Willow came home very happy and we will be 100% be booking again. Thank you so much!!”

Through this experience, I have developed strong animal care skills and a genuine passion for working with pets. I am comfortable around animals of all temperaments and enjoy building positive relationships with them.

“Honestly couldn’t be happier! Would definitely recommend them to take care of your fur babies. Great communication, very easy going and flexible and most importantly they truly care for your pets as their own.”
