“Lesly is awesome! She was able to provide same day care & boarding for my golden doodle. She kept me updated with messages & photos the entire time. My dog looked so happy to run around her yard, play and interact with the other pets. She also did a great job grooming him and keeping up with his ear drop applications. 10/10!”
“Rina was amazing! It was my first time using this service and I was very nervous and quite anxious. She did a meet and greet and communicated well with me. She even offered to bathe and clip my girls nails. Remind you ALL of my requests were last minute and she accommodated me. She can count me as a regular for sure!”
“We are so happy that we left our puppies Suka with Noleen. She sent us updates the whole time we were gone at Universal Studios and we are glad she had such a good time playing with the other dogs. We appreciate how well she took care of our puppy.”
“Jessica was Awesome! Very kind and sweet and cared for my dog as if he was her own❤️she communicate well and kept me updated with pictures everyday on how my dog was doing. She has a very nice home and a perfect environment for a dog. This was my first time leaving my dog in someone else’s care but she made me feel so comfortable and I had no worries. I would definitely recommend booking with her because I’m definitely booking again when the time comes, thank you Jessica!!!”
“My senior dog, Shadow, loves staying at Kathy’s! We used to board her at our vet, but she always came back scared and a bit disoriented. She comes back from Kathy’s like nothing happened and waltzes right in when we drop her off. Shadow is blind and deaf and Kathy has been great about making sure her needs are met.”
“Frances was fantastic!! My little guy took right to her. She was great with him, took pictures and text each day so that I was kept updated, which gave me peace of mind while on vacation. I will definitely use Frances from now on!!”
“Jeannie was so good with Pandi who is blind and diabetic. It took him a couple of days to get settled in but she was very patient with him. She is a really sweet lady and I highly recommend her. I will definitely use her again if needed.”
About: I have been passionate about caring for animals from a young age, often taking in and helping stray cats whenever possible. I have an 8 year old Rat Terrier who is in excellent health. I manage his daily feeding, regular walks, grooming, and give him vet checks when needed. I have two cats that I rescued as strays, providing them with a safe and stable home. I also care for a bearded dragon, including maintaining her habitat and breeding Dubia roaches to ensure she has a consistent, nutritious food source along with her vegetables. Through these experiences I feel that I have developed strong skills in animal care and responsibility. I currently work a full-time morning position and am available for pet care services between 2:00 PM and 11:00 PM, seven days a week, with some mornings. I’m also flexible and willing to adjust my schedule or request time off when needed to provide attentive, consistent care for your pets while you’re away. I live in a pet friendly apartment with my own dog and cats, and I’m able to safely walk and care for pets without issue. I like to keep my home calm and secure for my animals, with close attention to their comfort, daily routines and habits. I also have experience managing behaviors such as stress chewing, and I use solutions like crate training when appropriate to ensure both the pet’s safety and the condition of the home. If similar situations occur while caring for a client’s pet, I am confident in my ability to respond responsibly and maintain a safe, clean, and supportive environment at all times.
About: I've taken care of dogs, birds and cats since I started grad school. Friends and strangers, alike, have relied on me to be consistent and adhere to their fur babies' routines. I'm currently working as an Airbnb host locally so I have plenty of time between setting up for guests to take care of your pets. I keep a staycation bag packed so I can be ready to housesit at anytime. I keep several alarms on my phone while housesitting to make sure I adhere to routine. When I'm sitting dogs, I'm sure to wait the 30 minutes after eating to take them on a walk for good digestion. When I'm sitting cats, I'm sure to clean the litter box nightly so they may stay comfortable.

“Frances is amazing! Having her pet-sit for us was like having a very informed, professional, family member take care of our cat. She reached out before we left to familiarize herself with Elssie's schedule and sent plenty of photos to keep us updated. My husband and I felt like we could trust her fully, and we hope that she'll be available the next time we need someone to pet-sit!”
“This was my first experience using a pet-sitter and Rina (Katarina) was awesome! She was so kind, flexible, and accommodating. She was very accessible, responding to any inquiry within minutes, if not within the hour. And she kept me updated with daily messages and pictures of my baby Loki which helped put my mind at ease. She has a heart for animals (cats in particular) and her warm acceptance of my Loki was evident in how relaxed and comfortable he appeared in his pictures. I was able to enjoy my trip confident that my baby Loki had been left in good hands. Rina, I can't thank you and your family enough for your hospitality towards my Loki, and going forward, should I or anyone I know ever need a pet-sitter, I'll b sure to tell them to look no further than you! You're the best-est! 💛”
“We were so thrilled with Megan’s care for our cat. Our cat is elderly with a lot of needs and she tended to all of them. Megan was so professional, friendly and understanding of our special requests for our cat. We can’t wait to have Megan’s help again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals even babies my whole life I even had pets of my own that I cared for very much I had a ferret that was loved by everyone in the house. The only schedule I have is that I can only work every weekday after 4 and every weekend I’m free at any time to work. For my ferret there were certain areas in the house she was not allowed in such as the washroom and the kitchen, those places for her was very dangerous we put up baby gates for her safety and for our concern
About: I have experience caring for cats through both personal and family needs. I’ve babysat a family member’s cat while they were away and have also cared for my three kittens from my own cats, including feeding, cleaning, and monitoring their health everyday. I’m attentive, gentle, and focused on creating a safe, comfortable environment for every cat in my care.
About: I was raised with cats and dogs. I read a dog training book when I was in high school. I have always been mission-oriented, and today's mission is to ensure your pets are looked after and that you are confident they are safe and healthy. My schedule revolves around animals. If I'm not spending time with my dogs, then it's my mom's dogs. If it's not her dogs, then it's chickens. (Dogs are more fun, have you tried playing fetch with a chicken?) I will care for your pets with the same love and affection I provide to my own dogs, excluding any rough-housing since my dogs tend to play quite boisterously. I will diligently follow all instructions to the best of my abilities and will communicate promptly if I encounter any difficulties, seeking an alternative solution.
“Noleen watched my cats over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was absolutely amazing! She checked in with me every time as she was headed to the cats, sent daily photos, took care of their daily business, and even brought them new toys!”
About: Little Angel's dog boarding specializes in small dogs. Hello my name is Jessica and I am a dog owner and lover.I decided to work with dogs because I really enjoy being around of them.Every time I go out of town and leave our dog I feel very worried about him. I start thinking about who is going to watch him and become very worried. So I started to think that I love dogs and would be the perfect person to watch someone else’s little angel.My house is 100 % fenced with a 6 foot fence, I have a nice sized backyard.I live in a nice neighborhood safe for taking walks.I also have some grooming training, I personally cut our dog's hair. My dog is a French Poodle so it requires some skill to groom him. I have never worked as a professional groomer. I did my training exclusively for my dog, he is very spoiled and he used to cry so much when somebody else even brushed his hair. I decided to get the training to keep him happy. For an extra cost I can offer baths including ear cleaning.For me safety and comfort is of paramount importance.Your dog will have access to the backyard but will sleep inside of the house. I encourage owners to bring their dogs bed and favorite toy so they will feel a little more like they are at home.Your dog will get two daily walks and also play time in the backyard.Your dog will receive lots of attention all day long. I am doing this because I love animals but especially dogs!I can take pictures so you can see how your dog is doing. We can even schedule a skype video chat so you can see your dog in case you miss him as much as I miss my little guy when I am away.Dogs who stay for 5 days or more receive a toy to take home. I love all kinds of dogs but I have some restrictions for now. I can only watch dogs less than 20 pounds and I can’t dog sit a Rottweiler or Pitbull. This is because I have a little girl and my dog is a toy size so I am worried about their safety.I can’t love your dog like you do, but I promise he will be loved.Hablo espanol.

“Jeanie made sure I was updated on our pups with each visit and sent photos/videos to help reassure me they were being loved on and played with at each visit. She was quick to respond to communications and in asking any questions to ensure she cared for Sophie and Duke well!”
